Chapter: 804
[10 Armor]
Jay thought about taking it for himself, but realized it would be a waste. His skeletons were the ones doing the damage and taking the hits after all.
Jay extracted the bones from the bodies, and made a small pile for the skeletons to consume, to bring their health back to full and let them repair their own bodies.
Next, he decided to give the gauntlet to Red, as Red was his personal bodyguard, and wanted it to have a decent amount of armor in case it ever needed to block a hit, which it undoubtedly would.
Next, he had Lamp remove the bottom of its human-leather suit, cutting a circle around the shin and pulling its skeletal leg out.
What remained was like a rubber boot, though made from flesh.
“Eugh, disgusting.” Jay’s face scrunched up.
Lamp’s human suit was like a bag of rancid air, growing ever more sickly and noxious as it was trapped within. It stank worse than rotted meat on the inside, and now the smell seemed to be stuck in Jay’s nose. It was one of those smells you could taste.
The rotted bodies of the knights also added to the stink, with their own notes of a sickly-sweet rotting fruit and necrotic flesh.
Landen looked similarly pale, like he was ready to vomit. The sights and the smells were just too disgusting.
“You can have the armor,” Jay casually pointed to the bodies, “but burn the bodies before you try to remove it.”
Landen was shocked by what Jay had just casually said.
In the crucible, a scrap of metal was almost as valuable as a man’s life - and now Jay was giving him a whole suit of it.
“What? The whole armor?”
“Yep, both of them. Just don’t get infected or I’ll have to slay you too.”
Landen was already moving to grab them, and out of shock he almost didn’t hear the last part; he had completely forgotten about the smell coming off their bodies.
“B- both?! Th- thank you so much!” he got to his knees and lowered his head, almost like he was about to kiss Jay’s feet.
“Be quiet.” Jay frowned, a hint of disdain in his voice.
“Ah, sure. Sorry. Thank you Jay. I will never forget this.”
Jay shook his head with a thought, “Yeah, until I leave this dungeon and it resets.”
(Lamp, empty your… ‘boot’.) Jay glanced at the severed skin leg.
Lamp went over and poured its human-boot upside down.
More green blood flowed out, along with something that was like a sticky bunch of frog eggs which were the size of grapes.
“Gross…” Jay recoiled, looking at them.
Something was swimming around inside each of them.
