Chapter: 856

Jay waited for the perfect moment, and it soon presented itself. Distributing more eggs, the lesser knight marched over to one pool; it’s back to the staircase.

Jay dashed forwards, his necrotic gauntlet hand reaching forwards at of the naked enemies.

“Uncaring rip.” he said lowly.

One of them suddenly froze and stopped drinking from the green parasite-infested pool.

His body shuddered until the flesh ripped.

*Splash! ~*

A mixture of green and red blood washed over all the other naked’s as a giant flat bone ripped from the back of his shoulder.

The scapula; shoulder blade.

Before anyone could turn around, two flashes of sinister dark light came from behind.

In the next moment, two more naked’s collapsed as chaotic swirling energies distorted the vision of the group.

It damaged no flesh, but the necrotic bolts of the helminth were an insidious thing.

Their spines turned to liquid.

The parasites living inside lost control and their hosts’ breathing stopped.

A heavy blow of a shield struck armor; Red sent the armored knight off-balance and slashed at its neck relentlessly.

Jay’s sword appeared as a flash, and a head fell from someone’s shoulders, splashing into the basin.

In seconds, Jay had killed four of them. Four left.

Jay brought his sword back again; one of the naked’s brought their arms up in defense.

One swing and an arm bathed in the basin while the other hit the ground.

“Pathetic.”

Jay’s reequipped his shield, covering his head as red and green blood splashed from the unarmed enemy.

A decisive thrust came from behind the shield next, piercing the throat and exiting the back of their head.

Instant death.

Three enemies remained.

One of them ran deeper into the room, the same direction a main branch of the pulsating root traveled.

Yet turning his back was the worse thing he could have done.
