Climbing the Tower to Be a God With 10x Gacha System

[Be careful James, you must be ready to use the Aura of Chaos ability at any time, catacombs usually start to appear after 50 floors, just to give you an idea of the difficulty level].

James nodded his head as he read this warning from Moros and realised that this was the first time Moros had explicitly warned him about something and he had the intelligence to listen when fate himself warned him.

Immediately he switched on his night vision and was astonished by the sight he saw.

Standing in front of James was someone or something, perhaps a metre or two taller than him.

Its eyes were as black as its body, it had no feet or hands, and it looked incredibly similar to the Fallen God he had seen on the 9th floor, but it was not a Fallen God.

James paused to realise what it was and leapt forward, his sword held tightly in Clarent's grip.

He was fast, he was strong and had a lot of stamina, his magical energy, and his mana, were enormous due to both his Magic status and his Intelligence status. In short, he was ready to fight to the death.

He swung Clarent a few times, the fact that he could see his target precisely made everything perfect.

Every second he swung his sword, he could see the dark being countering his attacks.

It was at that moment that James saw something begin to change in the being before him, suddenly the ugliest smile possible appeared on the dark being's face with white teeth. It was as if the being in front of James was underestimating him, or rather provoking him.

James, of course, was not going to fall for it, he had realised something for the first time, he could not kill this being in a normal way.

This being had to have a weakness, after all, everyone except the creator had to have a weakness, everyone.

James, knowing this, started to try different things. He used the water element he had gained earlier and made an attack, although not very powerful. A small ball of water travelled towards the being and hit it, knocking the smile off the dark being's face.

It was clear that the being was angry, and it took the damage, the darkness on its body was broken, even if it was tiny, and James realised what its weakness was.

"So I'll be able to hurt you on the elements, not on abilities," James said.

With that, he instantly emitted all the aura energy in his body, but this time was different from all other moments. Before releasing this aura energy, he had tightened the aura in his body as much as possible, which meant that the flames of different colours that formed around him were formed with a single purpose:

Destruction.

James was grateful for what Vlad had taught him, after all, the flames that had previously formed around him were unlikely to do much damage, but thanks to the sword styles he had learnt, James had learned how to bring destruction to his surroundings using only his aura.

The dark being seemed to be frightened. It had no particular facial features, yet the smile on its face not only did not disappear, but it was almost grimacing, and its fear was evident in the fact that it was trembling.

James realised at that moment that he had an advantage, perhaps he should have used his aura attack.

However, he knew he couldn't use these attacks while moving, he couldn't risk dying, but he knew that by using the Aura of Chaos ability only the ability would give him immunity for a minute, so he could use the sword style.

Aura of Chaos was indeed an excellent skill for situations like this. Even after the one minute of immunity was over, James would still be a stronger man.

"Should I use it?" James suddenly thought, but instantly Vlad's voice rang in his ears:

"Don't use it, this is a real war for you, you can't use an ability that makes you untouchable. In the future, you will face Fallen Gods who can destroy you instantly and you must have experience if you don't want them to destroy you when that time comes."

When James heard these words, all thoughts in his mind stopped. At that moment, it occurred to him that he could use the second part of Desmond's sword art in the slashing style while moving.

Perhaps he could have used only the element of fire to carry out this attack, that is, instead of using his aura and magic to create a beam, he could have sent a sea of fire at the dark being.

Still, it should have been...impossible.

Even if James had both aura and magic, using them at the same time would have meant making Desmond's Sword Art into something he had fully mastered, or at least creating the magical swordsman thing Desmond wanted.

Of course, he couldn't master that sword art by getting good at just one thing, but at least he would have taken all the steps in one part.

James knew Vlad was right in what he said, he had to be fast, detailed and serious. He had to go beyond his limits.

As soon as James put these thoughts into his mind he realised that he had perhaps adopted a terrible idea, it was eating him up inside knowing that he felt the need to do something that even Desmond couldn't do.

If Desmond couldn't do it, there was no way he could he thought.

[Calm down James, I don't know what you're thinking but I know you can do it, make up your mind.]

Nyx must have seen the sweat pouring down James' face as she watched him because she became worried and felt the need to send a message, Nyx may or may not have known, but the message was like a slap to James' face.

Inhaling deeply, James suddenly began to run around the dark being, he could divert the angry being's attention in several directions by pointing to his plan, which he could provoke by showing what he was doing rather than just focusing on him.

James's plan was in motion.
