Chapter 68
Panicked, Clayton rushed toward his skeletons—but it was already too late. They had crumbled into dust, leaving nothing behind.
He stood frozen in disbelief. Was this just a hallucination? But everything around him felt real. He wasn’t imagining it.
"What happened?" he thought. "Did they shatter because of a mistake? Was that evolution not safe, but something dangerous?"
His mind spiraled into chaos, overthinking every possibility.
For a while, Clayton simply stood there, motionless. The joy he’d felt moments ago had collapsed into confusion and regret.
Eventually, after calming himself, he tried something—he attempted to summon his skeletons again. He chanted the familiar spell, and soon, a soft silver glow appeared.
Gradually, the light faded... and seven mini skeletons stood before him—just as he remembered them.
Thankfully, now that his skill level had increased, Clayton no longer needed to wait a full day to summon more than two skeletons. That alone saved him a lot of time.
He let out a long breath of relief.
"Phew... at least they can still come back," he murmured.
Clayton stepped closer, trying to make sense of what had just happened.
