Chapter: 891

Pivoting to the side, it ran into the centre, aiming for a gap between two Ova.

The two Ova found their chance, and each of them released their vines towards the skeleton as it came near.

Sweeper decisively threw its sword forwards, sending it to land at the feet of Jay and the skeletons.

"Ah. Good. It saved its weapon." Jay nodded approvingly.

Seeing the vines coming towards it, Sweeper frantically waved its arms.

Jay raised a brow, watching the desperate skeleton, wondering what it was about to do. It was disappointing, as he had just healed it, but it was entertaining at the very least.

The waving arms of the skeleton slapped away some vines, but many of them clung to them, grasping onto the bones and coiling. They were like tormenting shackles as they wrapped through its boney arms.

No vines had touched Sweeper's torso, and without slowing down, its arms suddenly detached and popped off; the solidified necrotic mana holding them dispersed into puffs of green gas.

"Huh?" Jay smiled, impressed.

The Ova had claimed its arms, and now the armless skeleton was running across the roots - seemingly without a care in the world.

More Ova were up ahead, forming a line. There was no way Sweeper could get past.

"Now what…" Jay wondered, seeing that the skeleton had not given up.

Sweeper charged recklessly right towards them. Right towards its death.

The Ova all held their arms at their sides as if they were about to embrace it in a hug; vines coiled around each of their spire claws, ready to spring.

"Sweeper won't make it." Jay thought, shaking his head.

Suddenly, the armless skeleton jumped. It sprung high into the air above the heads of the Ova. Its body was much lighter, with no arms.

Yet the roof was not that high; its back and head skittled across the stone roof and sent it back down, falling just behind the wall of Ova.

The Ova were just as shocked as Jay was; he was simply speechless.

One Ova suddenly turned around, releasing the vines from its claws.

Sweeper had trouble getting up. Without arms, it was too difficult. It was not fast enough.

The vines were coming right towards its lower back, threatening to split its spine in half a second time.

*Boom!*

Suddenly a crackling ball of deathly energy burst against the Ova's arm.

The bones melted out and its arm dangled helplessly at its side; the vines recoiled.

None landed on the skeleton.
