Chapter 67 - Let's Rest Now..

Golem Core.

It was the ultimate work of the Legend whose name was no longer known in the Tower.

In the first place, only a little information about the Golems was ever known to the people, it was because 'they' feared the emergence of some other like 'Him'.

When the whole Tower was searching for his remaining legacy, a certain maniac said that he has the ultimate work of that person that too six of them.

In that situation of course everyone would feel like he was a sick b*stard who was just seeking attention for himself.

But was that really the case, what if he really has the cores?

Everyone in the room had their eyes on him as he opened his mouth.

"How do you know that I have them?", Shiva asked with a cold tone.

"I have my means, but what I am requesting is for you to trade the Cores with me". Tony was still not ready to reveal all his secrets to Shiva.

"….", Shiva went silent for a while as he replied.

"What can you provide me in return", He asked Tony while pondering about the matter.

"A clue about Soul stone"

Everyone in the room, "...!!!!"

Old Sage, {!!!}

Nicholas, {!!!}

'What am I going to do with a stone??', He was going to say that when the Sage interfered.

{Don't talk any nonsense, you ba*tard. Do you even know what a soul stone is?}, Old Sage who oddly seemed to be on edge talked in hurry.

{A dwarf who hasn't even climbed above the 11th floor knows something about Soul-stone? What the fuc* is this situation?}, Nicholas was having a hard time believing what Tony was telling.

'What it is that stone for you all to be freaking out like this??'

{You bastard don't tell me you don't know what soul stone is?}, Old Sage who was acting like a youth in puberty rattled towards Shiva.

'Well….'

{Idiot that's why need to explore the floors not just go on clearing them!}

{Let's talk about this later, just tell him that you need some time to think}

Shiva understood that this was something important for even the Sage to react that way, so he followed what he said.

"I need some time to think"

"Please think fast my hands are itching", Tony said while moving his fingers.

"Itching….??", Shiva was creeping out hearing him but managed to control his expression.

"Anyway…" Shiva turned towards the armored guy and the damn clown masked psycho as he asked,

"Why are you both here?", he asked since they wouldn't bother to step up to save someone without wanting anything in return.

The armored man came forward as he lifted up his helmet,

"What the!?"

Shiva was shocked, everyone in the room was shocked too because what was behind the helmet was not what anyone would have excepted.

A beautiful long white hair was revealed as it came running down the shoulders as soon as the helmet was taken off, the face that was too beautiful to be holding the Sword, small nose, red lips, smooth skin, a beautiful female who seemed to be born to enchant the men, the ethereal beauty was revealed behind the metal helmet.

{A nymph??}, This time it was Nicholas who was surprised.

Nymphs.

They were the minority race among the tower, there were so less in numbers that they were considered to be just folklore beings by the common people.

But what surprised Nicholas was that Nymphs were the creatures who are not supposed to be in the presence of others or more precisely that they despised being in the middle of people and always lived in isolation from the outside world. They despised the World for giving them weak bodies that made them impossible to climb further floors in the Tower.

The majority of the nymphs are believed to be present below the 10th floor whereas no Nymphs was ever seen or recorded to go beyond the 50th floor, so what was such being doing in front of a necromancer, someone who is considered evil by the World.

"A nymph!!"

Even the clown face, revealed a hint of surprise as he looked at the ethereal beauty in front of him.

Shiva was in a daze seeing the beauty in front of him.

She was unlike anyone he had seen; he was not someone who would simp over women but the woman in front of him had transcended that realm, He just kept looking at her. It's a good thing that the bandages made it so that his expression was not seen.

"I want your help", She said in an expressionless voice that felt as cold as ice.

Shiva was taken back hearing her voice, he knew that voice!

It was the voice of someone in despair, a voice of someone in pain, a voice of someone who wanted to cry but the tears didn't come out due to the raging fire burning inside them, He knew! He knew because he once had the same voice.

"Please help me I can give you anything in return"

Shiva was silent hearing her; he could feel the anger in her voice, sadness that was eating her away from inside.

But he wasn't a fool nor was he someone who would help a stranger without any benefits for himself.

"I don't know why you are asking for my help nor does I know what help you need, but you should know better than anyone that 'a nymph' like you couldn't give me anything that's worth my help "

She bit her lips as tears threatened to leave her eyes.

Didn't she know she doesn't have anything to offer him? She knew, even then she asked for his help hoping for a miracle, was she too hasty.

"I can offer my body", She said making a fist, her fingers digging through her skin as the blood was visible in her hand.

Shiva looked at her non-chantingly as he said.

"Don't misunderstand miss. You sure are beautiful, but why do I need to help you get your body? My one summons is enough to make your body mine"

His words were harsh, everyone in the room looked at him with complicated emotions.

"Brother…", Radha tried to say something but was stopped by Karna. Staying in 'Bramhalok' he knew better than anyone how cruel the Tower can be for the weak but was it only the weak that suffered? Biting off more than you can chew was the shortest way to death in Tower.

It was true, If it was back on earth, Shiva would have done something to help her but here in Tower, His survival came first and foremost more than everything.

"Since you helped me escape when I was unconscious, I would listen to your request but don't lift your hopes up, if it means that It is dangerous then, you can forget about getting my help"

Shiva said as somewhere in his heart he still wanted to help her.

"There is a village here on the 10th floor that the world is unaware of, 'Alberia', that's where we nymphs live."

"It was a peaceful place where we lived happily but one day some people with weird tiger jaw's tattoo appeared, we don't know how they found our village but they just barged in and took everyone in the village saying that they were going to be offering as the sacrifice for their god. Luckily some of us managed to escape and we found some people to help us but-"

She gulped down her saliva as a grave look appeared on her flawless face.

"By the time we went there, it was too late...The dead bodies of our kin were scattered everywhere, It doesn't seem like a sacrifice but black magic, all their bodies were withered like dead trees and-"

The anger on her face got visibly higher as she clenched her already bleeding hand tighter,

"All of my kin...They were tortured to death, they were exploited until they lost all their energy and died....those scums they...."

She was struggling to speak but Shiva got the gist of the things, listening to her bought some memories that he didn't want to recall.

"I can't promise you anything until I recover", He said noticing that it was becoming hard and hard for her to speak.

He then looked at the sole weirdo in the room,

"Hoho...I don't have to want anything from you, don't worry"

Lies!

He would have probably believed if Tony or the man... I mean the women in armor would have said that but this weirdo telling that he didn't want anything from shiva? He wouldn't believe that at all.

however, he didn't have the strength to worry about him as his eyes were feeling heavy.

How long has it been since he had a good sleep? He wasn't even able to catch his breath from the movement the Tower appeared. He was caught up in the tutorial then the incident with Brahma Lok and now the colosseum, he was tired both mentally and physically.

'Let's just rest for now'
