Chapter: 95
A familiar muffled explosion accompanied by rocks and pebbles skipping on each other resounded.
Jay went back to the skeleton and was extremely satisfied with what he found, a toothy grin appearing on his face “You magnificent beast” he said as he gazed at his skeleton.
It’s glowing green eyes peered out from the cobalt-blue wolf skull. It’s thick jaw bones threatened to crush any rocks nearby, and were complemented with extra dark-green matter forming sinew and make-shift muscle. Every bone in its structure was cobalt-blue and seemed to be glazed over with syrup, creating a sleek shine in the light. Jay analysed it.

<[Description]>
An abomination, it’s existence spits in the face of life and death. Avoid it if possible. Execute with extreme prejudice.
“Oh cool, seems like it does extra damage now that it has a wolf skull” Jay figured out something he thought was quite interesting “So different bones can affect the final creation… It still has the same posture and height as before, so I guess it’s level determines that.” Then he noticed a few other things too “Slightly more health, and the description says to avoid it if possible.. Huh, well I guess they should be scared.” smiled Jay as he looked at his exotic-looking skeleton.
Shrugging, he analysed what was left of the wolf – [Ferritic Plates]x3
“Hope these are valuable”. He thought as he scratched and knocked on one of the metallic plates “These must be what the bumps along the wolf’s back were.”
Stashing the plates in his inventory, he continued to move through the dungeon with his new cobalt-blue skeleton taking the lead.
Walking along the narrow passage, it wasn’t long before the 2 feeble creatures in front paused and took a defensive stance.
A silt wolf greeted them from the shadows, pouncing with gnashing teeth which clamped on the cobalt-blue skeleton’s shoulder – yet this time it couldn’t even cause a crack in the skeleton’s bones; The skeleton responded in kind, snapping back with it’s own wolf skull and causing the wolf to let out a whimper.
Jay could see the cobalt-blue teeth sinking into the wolf’s hide with ease, rending it’s flesh much more effectively than the bone daggers – he reasoned that after this fight, he would convert this wolf’s skeleton into cobalt-blue bone daggers, besides, Muffin would need a second dagger once they left the dungeon and didn’t have to carry the lamp anymore.
Jay felt quite at ease since they were in a narrow passage; he watched the fight between the two skeletons and the silt wolf as he stood there casually.
“They probably won’t need my help now that one of them is upgraded with blue bones.” he thought as he patiently watched the fight. The wolf activated it’s stone-hide ability but it was just stalling for time as it couldn’t do significant damage to the blue skeleton, while it’s movements were getting slower and more easy to dodge.
