Chapter 157: Bugs and a Monkey?

James and Ariel had made it through the portal and were moving forward. According to the floor mission they had received, it was something that James especially liked.

The floor quest specifically stated that the monsters would come in different numbers and races in each stage, just like when James first encountered the zombies.

This meant that it was possible to fight a dragon in stage one and a goblin in stage seven.

Nevertheless, whatever it was, the duo wanted to pass this floor and they knew that there were 8 stages to pass.

As the duo waited, ready for attack and defence, huge gates began to open around them.

James shook his head when he saw them coming out of the gates and shouted, "Come on, for fuck's sake!' Ariel didn't seem to understand why James was shouting like that and asked, 'Did you forget something?" and she was shocked by the answer.

"No...Have I ever told you how much I hate bugs?"

At James' words, Ariel's eyes were drawn back to the monsters emerging from the gates. These monsters were spiders, giant centipedes, huge cockroaches and many more, insects might be the only phobia James had in this life.

Of course, it wasn't right to call it a phobia, he wasn't scared of them...it was just that bugs really grossed James out in a huge way.

"Oh, for fuck's sake! Be a man of your mould, James!" shouted Ariel, and if they had been in a church she would have had to restrain herself from laughing.

With that, the first stage began.

Nearly three hundred huge insects emerged from the passageways.

When James picked up Clarent, he activated his dark step ability to make his own body incredibly fast and then, as if on a whim, opened his inventory and brought out the sleeping Miracle.

Miracle was James' child, taking on the personality of her mother, Nemesis, as well as the personality of James.

James' personality was one of disgust for insects, a great destruction was on its way towards these dishonourable insects, but none of them were even aware of it.

Miracle slowly opened her sleepy eyes and then looked around and suddenly recovered herself and turned her eyes to James.

"You know what you're going to do, girl," James said, and it was like a confirmation of total destruction, Miracle shook her head and then her whole body changed.

After shifting into her dragon form, she flew into the air and borrowed the mana from James' body and activated his own magic. After all, Miracle, who was a baby at the moment, did not have unlimited magic power, otherwise James would have already managed to pass the 75th floor with Miracle alone.

The energy, the mana in the defence spells Miracle used on the mountain, and the mana in each of the abilities Miracle used in all the events that happened afterwards were borrowed from James and combined with the pure mana in Miracle's body and released to the outside.

And the little girl Miracle's father gave her an order at this moment. Even the words [You know what to do] told Miracle was enough to make her understand. S~eaʀᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Suddenly the place began to heat up, James gently grabbed Ariel and as she tried to realise what was happening, she was met with a sight she could hardly believe her eyes.

"BURN THEM ALL!" James shouted and with that, incredibly hot flames shot out of the little girl Miracle's mouth. Clouds of flames were burning the surrounding trees, huge black smoke was rising into the sky, and most importantly, it didn't even leave the bodies of the insects behind.

After a short while, Miracle, the little girl, landed on her father's head and waited.

"Are you tired?" James asked as he stroked Miracle's head with one hand.

"Yes, I used some of my own magic I've saved up so as not to give you fatigue, I only borrowed a little mana, I want to sleep." Miracle said and then suddenly jumped into James' inventory.

James realised the reason for the lightness in his body with those words, after all, when Miracle drew a lot of magical energy, mana, from him, he would be weak for a few seconds, but right now his body was very energised and light.

"So, that wraps it up," James suddenly said as he noticed Ariel standing next to him with her mouth open, "What's wrong?" he asked as she grabbed him by the throat and started shaking him and then shouted, "WHAT?!".

After a few seconds, Ariel let go of James and said, "If my granddaughter has such powers, why don't you try to improve her? She can take care of this entire floor, it will increase her level."

Hearing these words, James shook his head and then said, "She's just a baby, Ariel, of course, I won't be too hard on her unless there is a very troublesome situation - situations like this - I shouldn't disturb her, she should sleep in my inventory and grow up as soon as possible."

The words made Ariel pause for a few seconds, and the fact that James was right seemed to irritate her just a little.

"We'll have to take the rest of the floor then, I was just getting ready to attack," Ariel said and saw the gates of the next stage begin to open.

James looked surprised again at the monster in front of him, rubbed his eyes as if wondering if it was real, and then turned to Ariel and asked, "Is that a monkey?"

Ariel made an even more puzzled face than James and said, "No way, he looks so goofy, maybe he's a uhm...secret boss monster or something."

What the duo didn't realise was that the monster standing before them was indeed a monkey, a monkey that was quite fast but not impossible to catch, a monkey that was quite ordinary but had to die.

The 24th Floor seemed to be getting on the duo's nerves more than they expected.
