Chapter 238: Everything Is Over

James and Ariel managed to get close to the gate after some time and were able to see the beings in the vicinity with their own eyes.

James could see Nemesis and the others with his own eyes, and again Lady Nyx must have expended enormous energy to send Nemesis below the 75th floor.

This was good news. James was able to see his mate again after a long time, and the war seemed to be over.

Still, there were many casualties, James could clearly see the bodies being carried away, the sound of crying seemed to have started again, and everyone's sad voices were ringing in his ears.

This was good news, as all the monsters in the portal had been emptied, and the portal itself was completely closed. Searᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

As James and Ariel approached the campsite, familiar faces began to appear. Datura, Theseus, and many others seemed to have come to this floor to help. The Church of the Night's presence on this floor seemed to have been established, thanks to the help and other things that the Church of the Night had done.

The priests and nuns of the church, with great effort, were able to bring people who had even lost limbs to them.

James was very proud of the church's work. The church had done such a good job that it was best to treat each of them with respect. He had seen some priests and nuns exhaust themselves to the point of fainting in just two hours.

That's how loyal James' helpers were. They were incredible beings that wanted to help others even in a situation like this. Losing all of their mana and holy power only to heal people who didn't even know them. Just like real heroes.

When James entered the main tent, they saw Eve and the nobles of the empire trying to sit quietly and rest.

When the group saw James and Ariel with him, each of their eyes were filled with brightness. Eve, in particular, was so relieved to see James standing tall in front of her that there was no way to explain it.

"You managed to kill the ancient giant..." Eve suddenly said, and James, hearing this, pointed to Ariel next to him and said, "I had a lot of help."

Turning to Ariel, she must have been embarrassed because she grabbed James's cheek and pulled him away before saying, "We couldn't have done anything if you hadn't put the ancient giant in that state."

The depth of the relationship between the two was recognisable even to the weary nobles watching them, they really did look like a mother and son and seeing this relationship seemed to tell them that the war was indeed over.

"Thank you master Umbra, Madam Ariel...we don't know what we would have done without you..." Eve suddenly said.

Hearing these words, James smiled and then came to the front of Eve and gently knelt on his knees.

"It was a great honour to fight alongside a great wizard like you, Lady Eve. You did not win this war because of us. The sacrifices made, the effort expended, the lives lost. Not just Umbra and Ariel, but Eve, Yorhun and so many others. Look up and realise what a wonderful empress you are."

When James uttered these words, Eve's eyes really teared up. Anyone who saw Eve in this state could see how much pressure she was under. After all, Eve was the only empress of an entire floor, an entire empire, she had no mate to share the pride and responsibility, she had a people and hundreds of cities to protect.

Eve had become today, perhaps, one of the greatest empresses of the White Empire.

Hearing these words, Eve was about to say a few words when the curtain of the tent suddenly opened and someone entered, much to the delight of Ariel and James.

Nemesis walked in, wearing her silver crystal armour, her silver hair turning white like the surface of the moon and her eyes shining as if she had seen someone she cared about, this woman seemed to be very worried about her husband and with good reason.

"Hey Neme, thanks for taking care of business," James said, and with that, he was about to finish the sentence "I mis-" when suddenly he saw Nemesis pressed against his lips.

James had missed the feeling so much that he let go, choosing to close his eyes and, although slightly uncomfortable, he wrapped himself in Nemesis' armour.

The kiss between James and his wife Nemesis lasted for almost twenty seconds before the couple finally managed to pull apart, but not before the beautiful Nemesis hugged James tightly.

James looked at Ariel, who was watching them and shook his head, and he managed to get a good look at the smile on Ariel's face.

"Neme, can you calm down a bit?" James said, and as soon as he said that, "How do you expect me to calm down? A week! I haven't been able to watch you or know what you're going through for a week, it's been eating me up inside, this wasn't the 9th floor and the passage didn't open before the floor was locked, I couldn't come to help you, I'm sorry."

James was strangely embarrassed as if he hadn't given much thought to his wife Nemesis' feelings.

"I love you too Neme, I'm sorry," James said and then gestured to Eve and the others and said, "Eve is one of the few people who has helped me live so far, I was really dying." Stay tuned to m-v l|-NovelFire.net

Nemesis looked at Eve maliciously for a few seconds, like a proud woman, and then put her pride aside and said, "Thank you, I will never forget your kindness," like a wife.

James nodded happily, then stepped out of the tent and called Nemesis to him.

When the beautiful Nemesis came out of the tent and approached James curiously, James gently said, "We are gonna have a good time this night."

After these words, Nemesis, who smiled, approached her husband and then kissed him on the cheek and said, "As you wish my love."
