Climbing the Tower to Be a God With 10x Gacha System

Chapter 209: Against the Mimic Chests (2)



James now fully realised that he had to attack. When he pulled out the Clarent, the holy sword that had been back in his inventory, and gripped it tightly, it was covered from head to toe with his magic.

With that, the spell suddenly began to burn with the help of the 8 Sacred Fires wrapped around his arm, and the sword began to burn with one of the two flames of hell, which James knew to be the hottest:

"Azure flame," James thought.

Each coloured flame had a different purpose and the two flames, blue and black, represented two different fires of hell.

Blue might be weaker than black, but it was a hundred times better at transmitting magic, which was why James had deliberately chosen to use it instead of black, the most dangerous flame in creation.

With the holy sword covered in azure flames, James activated his dark stepping ability and suddenly lunged forward, passing through a cloud of poison that began to dissipate through the flaming wall and upwards across the room.

With only a few moves, James dodged the tongue attacks coming at him and soon found himself in front of a mimic chest.

"Pierce." he said, and then stabbed the sword towards the mimic.

"KHRUAGHHHHH!!!"

When an ear piercing scream reached James, he couldn't hold himself back and then stumbled. The Mimic crate had literally been pierced through, a lush green blood flowing to the floor.

At that very moment, as James stumbled because of the scream he heard, he saw something coming towards him quickly.

Only when he turned his head to the right did he think to use his time elemental, but it was too late.

"CRUSH!!!"

Another mimic's tongue slammed into him with incredible weight and speed.

James flew almost fifty metres with the impact of this attack and crashed into one of the pillars near the corners of the room.

When James was forced to his feet, blood was pouring from his head and his shoulder looked dislocated. He tensed as he realised that the mimics before him were as dangerous as the Fallen Gods he was fighting. It had only taken a single carelessness to do him so much damage.

Luckily he had flown into one of the pillars, still dealing with the poisoning and constantly being distracted by the monsters looking for James, which allowed James to hide behind the pillar he had crashed into.

After hiding behind the pillar, he thought he should put his dislocated left shoulder back in place, so that he could use his auto-heal ability to come round.

Once he had got a good grip on his arm, lifted it upwards and put the shoulder back in place, he was met with a pain as if he had been stabbed in the stomach. He didn't scream because he was immune to pain, but a storm raged in his heart.

He was breathing deeply, the haemorrhage in his head healed immediately thanks to his automatic healing ability.

When he realised that he had come to himself, he wanted to peek behind the pillar and saw that the mimic he had attacked had fallen to the ground and died. After stretching his body, he smiled and realised that he only had to perform the same attack twice more.

While he was thinking about this, a system notification popped up in front of him:

[Mimics go Berserk!

Attack and personal speed increased by 100%].

James shook his head as he read this notification and frankly got a little flustered, just when he thought everything was going well, of course something had gone wrong.

Inhaling deeply and exhaling, he took Selene's Throwing Knife out of his inventory again and took it in his left hand, and then drowned it in azure flames and pulled it out from behind the pillar and flung it as hard as he could towards one of the mimic chests.

"SHWIIPP!!!"

James realised that the mimic chest had started screaming as a sound piercing the air rang in his ears:

"HUAGHUUU HEULPP MEEE!!!"

James couldn't stop his body from freezing after this scream, this monster in front of him spoke like a human and started to turn left and right.

"These monsters aren't human James, they're mimics, it's normal for them to mimic human voices." Abby said.

With this voice echoing in James's mind, he managed to come to himself and then managed to calm down and rushed forward.

The Mimics may have accelerated and become insanely powerful, but the biggest thing James was confident in was speed itself. He had methods to speed himself up, as well as enough status point boosts to massively negate his level.

Each level increase gave users and players 5 distributable status points, except for the first five levels, which were randomly distributed.

With the six levels James had gained after the attack on the village, he was now level 65, which should have given him 325 status points, counting his first five levels in their entirety.

Not counting the 'Luck' stat and the 'Magic' stat, James had a total of 1532 status points. This was an ASTRONOMIC number for a 65 level climber.

In this case, James, who had 271 Agility points, was already in the top five of the fastest people below the first thirty floors.

James was very hopeful because of this. When he used the Dark Step ability and gained the 20% speed effect, 54 status points were temporarily added to his speed.

This was the minimum speed he could reach when Aura of Chaos, Heaven's Call, or Transition abilities were not activated.

"Come on, you bastards." James said with the sudden courage he had gained, and then lunged forward, activating his dark step ability once more.

Now he could destroy the last remaining duo.

This time he planned to use neither azure flame nor black flame. He had to make an attack that would aim to slow down, perhaps even stop completely, these monsters, which were now faster and stronger.

In this case, of course, this attack would be to use the snow-white flame, which was seen as ice flame. If the jet-black flame represented the inextinguishable fire of hell, the snow-white flame represented the sacred and frozen fire of heaven.

There was no need to explain which of these two flames was more powerful, but the white flame would at least be able to kill some monsters directly, while the white flame could be useful in stopping others.

As he lunged forward, a white and glorious flame covered the holy sword Clarent, and with it James swung the sword in a way that cut the air.

Standing in front of a huge cloud of flames and swinging left and right, the mimic began to move towards his chest, and after a short time, even the poison cloud itself in the room began to turn white.

The room literally began to freeze.

At that very moment James used his time element and crouched down. When a second had passed, an even faster tongue attack came at James, but he instinctively dodged it.

It was as if he had instinctively used the element of time, he hadn't had it in his mind, he couldn't see anything because of the cloud of white flame, and he had suddenly dodged.

After he stood up, he started running towards the mimic chest that had attacked him and passed through the cloud of flame he had created again, this time activating his Transition ability.

He could not jeopardise any chance and prolong this battle. Yes, he had enough mana and he had enough strength and endurance, but James decided that this war had to end immediately because he did not know whether the mimic chests would get stronger again.

After using his Transition ability, he realised that everything was incredibly slow. He noticed the white and blue coloured flames that he had literally spread around, the frozen ground and the cloud of poison that had begun to freeze.

Everything had really slowed down. It was obvious that everything was moving, but James was too fast, what was happening now was no different from what had happened when the time element was used.

With the speed he had gained, James went behind the mimic chest in front of him and then said "Pierce." and stabbed his sword covered with white flames towards the monster.

In just a few seconds, the only monster left in the room was the mimic chest, which was spinning left and right and now frozen with pure white ice.

When James held the holy sword Clarent properly, he said, "It's finally over." and then made a move on the mimic chest and killed it too.

It was quite a challenge, and it became clear how powerful only four of the mimic chests could be, but in the end it could be said that it was over.

The first room of the Blessed's Dungeon was cleared.
