Chapter: 893

Besides, if there was an emergency, he could simply have Red don its armor again, and by conserving his mana, it was almost back to being full again. Ready to summon multiple undead.

Jay made a quick glance back as the battle behind him grew louder. The swarm of knights charged into the Ova without mercy.

As their numbers swelled, there were no longer any tactics. It was just a brutal, armored swarm of wrath. A wave of metal crashing against whatever would dare to stand in their path.

Yet the Ova held strong and defiantly remained in place. They were immobile, attached to the root on the floor they stood on; a part of it. Unyielding to the knights, they stood firm.

Jay curiously watched while he waited for his skeletons to get into place or uncover enemies.

Every so often, a knight fell and its body disappeared into the roots below. A moment later and another Ova would rise, although none of the new Ova would be above level eight either.

This insignificant detail caused Jay to smile mischievously.

"Ah… I see how it works now." He nodded.

Jay went back into the passage with the Ova. Just before he would get into range of an Ova lashing at him, he held his necrotic gauntlet up. A luminous dark green glowed from it.

"I hope you're hungry." He smiled, and a sickly green cloud of mana appeared.

From the mana, bones appeared, vomiting out onto the floor like a river.

Jay instantly deposited thirty complete Helvetian human skeletons. The root floor responded, ravenously swallowing them, tearing them apart. In moments, the mass of bones disappeared.

Yet they were not gone for long.

The roots opened up, and suddenly, an entire assembly of Ova rose.

There were less than thirty, as they needed other parts of a human body to create an Ova, but this blockade was enough to stop the charging masses of knights, no matter how many would come into the room.

"Alright, that's taken care of for now." Jay nodded, happy with his work.

Walking back into the circular chamber, he saw Lamp and Handy had made it half-way around the outside, while Blue and Sweeper were about halfway to the centre of the room - half-way to the flesh-plant head.

"Lets get moving, Red." Jay thought, moving around the outside of the room too.

Compared to Lamp and Handy, who were running, Jay moved at a more cautious walking pace.

Jay glanced at the giant head as he went. Still, there was no reaction; its eyes fixated on the portal.

"I wonder what level it is? It's confident enough to ignore me even while I'm here… or perhaps it can do nothing? I'm sure it's powerful, though, as it has been feeding on the whole dungeon for years." he nodded.

The sounds of charging knights continued above. They were like a threatening thunder, yet it only caused Jay to smile as he thought about the blockade of Ova he just set up after gifting them some bones.

While it was a cheap trick, it was something only Jay could do. There were no other adventurers who carried around thousands of corpses. At least, none that Jay knew of.

Suddenly, there was a movement near the head.

Before Blue and Sweeper, the roots moved. So many shifted around that they lost their balance.
