Chapter: 834

Lamp was the quietest skeleton of them all, not having any armor, while its bone clicks were muffled by its skin suit, so it was tasked with silencing the knight standing by the tower.

As for the other two knights at the pit, Blue and Sweeper handled one knight, while Handy handled the other.

Jay loved watching how the skeletons signaled to begin an ambush, as they did it without a sound. No one shouting ‘attack’, it simply happened.

The enemy would perhaps hear the clink of a bone or the piercing ring of a sword, but it would always be too late.

Two enemies dropped without a fight, the skeletons offering no hesitation.

Of all the skeletons, Handy’s strategy seemed the most intriguing, and Jay was wanting to see its new sword in action - yet it didn’t make use of it at all.

“Perhaps it’s too honorable to use its sword for assassination?” he guessed with a smile, “just champion things…”

Instead of sullying its sword, Handy had simply ran at the knight and spear-kicked it into the pit.

Jay couldn’t hear it’s struggle and neither could he see what was happening in the pit, and Handy remained at the edge to make sure its victim died.

Blue, Lamp and Sweeper rushed behind Red after loud clangs and thumps were coming from its shield.

There were enemies inside the tower - but how many?

Each hit sent Red backwards slightly, its bone feet scraping against the stone, but it had successfully blocked the entrance. The enemies outside were dead, the enemies inside the trapped, sealed into their final resting place - of course they fought back with all the strength they had.

With the other skeletons at Red’s back, it was now braced and no longer inched backwards - instead together they all pushed together, forwards into the tower.

A fight broke out inside, and Jay couldn’t see what was happening - but unless a skeleton fell, Jay wasn’t worried in the slightest.

“The odds are in their favor anyway. The knights won’t make good fighters in such a tight area… plus, they can’t make it past Red”

Red remained at the entrance while the other skeletons caused havoc inside the tower. Rings of swords, thuds of steel and falling armor soon sounded while Jay confidently emerged from the cover of the forest, the perpetrator of all this death.

Jay walked to Handy’s side and watched from the edge of the pit. The soldier it kicked in had been consumed, swallowed whole by one of the flesh-like flowers, so it was just a matter of time before it died.

Jay glanced at the tower next, and its sounds of fighting grew quieter as the enemies within were slain.

The skeletons were ascending the stairs now, but Jay decided to wait outside and simply see what they would bring back.


Jay stood with Red at the entrance of the tower, waiting for his skeletons to clear out the inside.

A few moments passed and no exp notifications came through, and soon enough the skeletons returned.

“Alright, let’s get this root cut, it won’t cut itself.” Jay turned as the skeletons came out.

Blue was the last to exit, and instead of helping to cut the root, it presented something to Jay.
