Chapter 73: 60th Floor? More Like You Are Stupid

Seeing this image, Moros and the others remembered the day James had found his passion of his own volition.

"Humans...strange beings indeed, and those in James' world are strange indeed," Moros said suddenly, the smile on his face was a very strange sight, indeed it was unheard of for him to smile so often, even smiling at his mother was unheard of.

First James came and gave Moros his smile and then Ariel came and polished it.

"What's strange about them, big brother?" Hypnos said suddenly, and Moros, hearing this, replied with these pure words:

"When they are in the void when they are dancing with the void, they are very lonely, they look exhausted, too exhausted...But when a light of hope shines on them, when there is a single gleam in the darkness of the void, the whole world, stars, planets, galaxies and universes seem to be theirs...Hypnos, don't you think humans are strange?"

Moros' words seemed to make everyone smile, yet Erebus spoke up before Hypnos could answer:

"I mean, Ronald said it, didn't he? The people from James' world were the most ruthless, vile, nasty, nasty, greedy people. Yet Ronald must have overlooked the good among them because there are some incredibly good people among them, seeking happiness, chasing hope, overflowing with passion."

With these words it seemed that the matter was closed, just a few dozen Olympian gods and others, fascinated by both sides, fate was indeed working strangely, even if James and Ariel did not know that they came from the same world, fate had united them in this tower, amid gigantic powers and as the founders of a perfect game.

It was as if someone had planned everything for them. It was as if fate itself had even designed Moros and his scribes, the Moirai.

Maybe it was Chaos, maybe it was some other person or thing, but whatever it was, it was something perfect.

After all, the tower would be literally covered in chaos, and it would not be the creator.

"SHIT!"

James was looking around and trying to think of a way to counter the attack, he really couldn't believe that he couldn't keep up with the speed of his opponent.

"You can't keep up with me, honourable Umbra, to tell you the truth it would be strange if you could keep up with me, I didn't climb to the 60th floor for nothing." said the woman in the darkness.

When James heard this, he was surrounded by his aura in flames again. This aura was not a low-level aura and the fact that it contained a different element, an element like flame, was a real danger, which meant that his opponent had slowed down a little, even if James still could not see him.

With that, James' voice was heard:

"THIS TOWER IS BULLSHIT! THEY SHOULD HAVE MADE IT 50 AT LEAST! WHAT THE HELL IS MAXING OUT AT 60!"

James had learnt a long time ago not to talk back and forth about the tower like that, but he was frustrated because the power level here was enormous. seaʀᴄh thё novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The levels and powers of the people on the high floor may have been restricted, but the abilities they used and the experience they had were not diminished in the slightest.

James had been a broken man, down on his luck and close to death just a few months ago, and even with Nyx's help, there was no way he could have withstood such an experience in such a short time.

His opponent had been climbing the tower for who knew how long.

"THESE NUMBERS WILL NOT STOP ME UMBRA!" shouted the opposing side and then disappeared again.

A few seconds later, the next thing James remembered was that he was on his knees on the floor.

He had been punched so hard that he thought his jaw was dislocated, he hadn't fainted, and that was a good thing because with that punch he realised that he could no longer run away and that he had to finally use that ability.

"Aura of Chaos," James suddenly said.

With those words, a huge darkness enveloped the arena. James' opponent seemed to be trying to understand what was happening.

"You feel weak, don't you?" James said and suddenly disappeared. When he reappeared he appeared in front of his opponent and then punched him incredibly hard.

After flying several metres in the air, the opponent somehow managed to land himself neatly on the ground and then lunged towards James.

James was still not as strong as his opponent. His powers may have increased by 100% and his opponent may have weakened by 10%, but his opponent was still a monster up to the 60th floor.

James knew this, so he had to use his ability to his advantage.

He used his dark step ability and for the first time since the duel began, he managed to avoid the other side's attack.

After exchanging a few steps and successive movements, James suddenly did a small somersault backwards and then picked up his blades again, lifting Clarent into his inventory.

As he lunged forward, the flames in his aura became even more intense.

After all, Aura of Chaos was strengthening not only him but also his abilities. This meant that his aura could be seen as being on the edge of the next tier, perhaps not permanently, but even in its current state it gave him enough information to take his aura to the next tier, or at least a copy from the doorway.

As the flames roared and went pitch black James appeared in front of his opponent, who smiled as if he had been expecting it and lunged for James' torso.

The move did nothing, the opponent's blades leaving scratches on James' skin, James took advantage of the surprise and suddenly struck a blow.

He had made it to the 60th floor and was left bleeding on the arena floor.

James had won the duel, the value of this skill was truly immeasurable, a foolish opponent had given him the victory.
