Chapter: 800

He had never seen anything like it.

“Who… no - what is this being…” Landen silently glanced at Jay - Jay who alone caused all of this horror and destruction.

Landen suddenly remembered the fiendish, sick smile that appeared on Jay’s face back at the village when he mentioned the knights will be coming here soon. After telling Jay, he had made them leave immediately.

“...what is he planning for them?”


Five suits of rusted armor came marching through the forest. Their armor suits were making so much noise that Jay noticed their presence almost before his skeletons did.

Each of the skeletons were hidden in the forest, concealed for an ambush attack as they watched their prey from behind the thick roots and trees.

The five knights wore full-body armor, which was surprising as the villages didn’t have as much metal as a few bands wrapped around their clubs. It was majorly rusted through though, almost as red as it was silver-gray, and Jay guessed it was probably a remnant of a by-gone era.

Jay had not launched the ambush attack yet, as the knights were acting strange.

Firstly, they didn’t react to seeing the village decimated.

None of them paused in shock or looked around for threats; it was as if they had carried out the attack themselves.

Next, they started gathering some of the nearby corpses of the villagers.

“Hmm...� he gazed at them suspiciously.

Jay decided to wait a little while longer before attacking - yet soon he decided not to attack at all.

“So, they must be cannibals too.�

The knights had gathered small a pile of bodies, not discriminating between the fleshless, boneless or burnt remains of the cannibals.

They tied them with some vines and three of them began to drag the corpses away, presumedly back towards their territory.

(Handy, follow them.)

Jay ordered, letting the three knights escape his trap.

Two other knights remained in the village, who were still gathering corpses and forming a larger pile - more than three knights could hope to pull back.

Soon, it was larger than even five of them could carry.

“Seeing the whole village decimated, you would expect them to be startled? But their reaction seemed almost inhuman...� Jay thought.

Something was definitely wrong with the knights, and Jay guessed they most likely were a dungeon monster - one with intelligence.

After a while, he sensed that Handy was far away enough now that he could attack.

(Now. Slay them both.) he ordered the skeletons.

As usual, Jay had placed Blue in command of the attack, though he hoped that Blue would learn to conduct its own ambushes from this experience.
