Chapter 240: Continue the Climb

In a very brightly lit room, under crimson lights, four figures were sitting around a table.

The facial expressions of these figures showed how much stress and fear they were under.

"What are we going to do?" asked the white-haired female figure. Sёarch* The ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

With this question, everyone's fear seemed to deepen even more, the woman who asked the question must have had a lot of authority over the other three.

"Ma'am...if you give me another chance, I swear to you I will bring you James' head." said one of the people around the table.

The fact that everyone was trembling seemed to show how dangerous the white-haired woman was.

"One chance? You've had three chances so far, but guess what you've done? You've strengthened him, not harmed him!" the white-haired woman suddenly shouted.

With this shout, the other three literally bowed their heads and fell to their knees behind where the white-haired woman was sitting with their hands clasped together as if begging.

"Forgive me, Madam, PLEASE!" shouted one of the women in the group.

The white-haired woman was shaking her right leg, which she had thrown over her left leg, as if she was thinking about something.

"James and his dog Ariel have been gone for over five months, and yet you have failed to do anything. In five months, you have only managed to convince two fallen gods and an Ancient Giant. You are disappointing," said the white-haired woman, and then she got up from her seat and spat in front of the woman who had spoken to her.

After that, she said, "You are not even worth as much as my spit, you pieces of rubbish."

The trio on their knees on the floor were still trembling with fear, but this time they seemed to have managed to escape the death that was likely to come upon them.

The white-haired woman had not attacked them but only insulted them, which was strangely good news.

"Ma'am, the reason we only have access to three holy beings is that the Church of Night has begun to recover the artefacts, if we can find a few things that have Nyx's and Demond's energies together we may be able to convince not three but thirty holy beings." said the last female figure in the trio.

Hearing these words, the white-haired woman shook her head and then said, "All right, I forgive you one last time, don't disappoint me again."

After these words, a very bright and dark spell formed around the white-haired woman and she disappeared.

The three who remained in the room were relieved. Each of them stood up and the male of them was heard shouting:

"JAMES I WILL KILL YOU!!!"

James and Nemesis realised that it was time to part ways again after a good holiday.

They were not married yet, but they were already like a husband and wife in the eyes of everyone, including themselves. Although the two were very upset about this situation, it was a fact that they had to part.

After a long hug and many kisses, Nemesis said goodbye to her husband James and went back up to the 75th floor.

During this time James had shown her the developments on the ice mountain on the 5th floor, which he planned to be their future home. Since James planned to abolish the 75th-floor rule set by his ancestor, everyone looked at this house positively.

These might have been bold words for someone who had only entered the tower just over two years ago, but either way, every Chaos-Born and Titan was in his favour.

Even though the 75th-floor limit had taken a long time to set up, each of them could see the damage to the lower floors because of this limit.

This meant that the existing system had to change, only James had to become even more powerful and his authority even better. Chaos already had a good impression of him, it was just that he wasn't as strong as Desmond, which probably didn't make him perfect in Chaos' eyes.

Regardless, James was aware of this, Chaos was already paying attention to him, it was the only reason he had been given the gacha ability in the first place, an ability that shouldn't have existed, given to him by Chaos for the sole purpose of allowing him to surpass Desmond's power.

The battle was incredibly close and James was only just beginning to approach the 75th floor.

"It looks like we can continue now Ariel, we've said our goodbyes, the 36th floor awaits us," James said suddenly.

Ariel looked back at James with a smile, nodded and then replied, "Everything is ready, I think I have enough supplies and items in my inventory, we can go."

With that, James and Ariel teleported to the 36th floor as the white portal opened. When the duo opened their eyes again, they realised that they were in a wooded area.

It couldn't really be called a wooded area, it looked more like a swamp, but it wasn't possible to tell much difference between the two things, because they were in a lush forest, like a rainforest, and most of the ground was like a swamp.

"Be careful, try not to get into the swamp, I have water magic so I'll try to help, but the tower is unpredictable," said James, the ecosystem they were in was quite strange.

As they started to move forward they both started to realise where the strangeness was coming from, it felt like something was watching them and that was not a good thing.

"Lady Nyx, this feeling is a bit too weird, do you know this floor?" James suddenly asked, he couldn't believe he was doing this but he really thought he should cheat a bit.

James didn't know what kind of answer he expected to hear, or rather he thought he would get a good answer that would put him at ease, but the answer he was about to hear was going to be the thing that would make everything awkward.
