YM778.TV Chapter 184: Tower Itself Made It
Seeing James\' eyes filled with curiosity, Ariel smiled and then said, "Moros gave me the armour he didn\'t use, he is a dagger user like me, did you know that?"
James smiled when he heard these words and then said, "I didn\'t think that someone like Moros would still have equipment that is not connected to his soul, if it comes from a god, it must be powerful."
"My chest armour is Godly-Grade and the rest is low-level Legendary-Grade," Ariel said as she put her hands on her waist proudly, she really had no idea what James was wearing.
James realised that there was no point in worrying about Ariel anymore, after all, it was rare to encounter monsters that could do direct damage to Legendary-Grade and above.
Of course, with James clearing the Hell Tutorial and Ariel clearing the Hard Tutorial, the difficulty level they had was massively higher, and that was exactly why more monsters could harm them.
They had no idea what the 28th floor would be like, but the fact that they knew they would be ready no matter what made it all the better.
After James said goodbye to the children, he called out to Emma and, as usual, he and Ariel entered the white passage that opened in front of them.
When the two opened their eyes again, they were mesmerised by the sight before them.
"It\'s perfect..." Ariel suddenly said, and it was obvious that she wasn\'t lying because James had the same expression.
A world of ice seemed to stand before them. The snow was falling incessantly, and there were pine trees tens of metres tall and thickly covered with snow.
The snow covered the earth in white, and the sky was covered with white clouds, showing only the green colour of the pine trees and the whiteness of nature.
[Survive!
Your mission to survive between floors 28-35 begins now! You will only have the right to use the food part of your inventory, you will have as much equipment as you can live on and you will be able to use your weapons, but do not take this ice-covered world lightly. Once every 20 days you will be counted as travelling up one floor for one time only, and it will stop when you reach the 35th floor.
This is a SPECIAL mission created by the tower for Umbra of Chaos and Ariel of Chaos.
Upon completion of the mission, you will have each of the floors 28-35 subjectively. This will be made possible by the tower creating a subspace and only a limited number of people will be able to enter these areas. Guild honour points must be spent to unlock the area].
James and Ariel looked at each other after seeing this mission window. They had weapons, food, and equipment they could use, but when they looked at their inventory, they could see that most things were indeed locked.
[Something we haven\'t seen in a long time, James. The last time we saw it was when my daughter Eris was climbing the tower. Despite its stinginess and cruelty, the tower must have admired the excellence of the two of you because it gave you a special assignment].
When James read the message from Nyx aloud and announced it to Ariel, the surprise of the duo increased.
"What exactly is this about the tower creating subspace for us, my lady? We\'d like to know before we move forward and perhaps fight the monsters." James said suddenly, despite his confusion, he knew they had to survive, they had to get information.
[The Tower has done this many times throughout history. For the likes of Thor, Loki, Demon Crowley, and my daughter Eris, the tower has created sub-space and duplicated and modified layers of itself and made it available to climbers. This is partly a reward that the tower offers to the climbers by using all its laws and exhausting their consciousness.
So the reward for clearing these floors will be that the floors will be given to you two].
"I thought more than one person could take the floor exams after the 20th floor, but why did Eris do it alone, or any of the others?" James asked, and received the following answer:
[It\'s been almost 16,000,000 years since Eris has been above the 75th floor, the tower often changes the style of exams for some floors, from the twentieth floor to the thirtieth floor, this is the style of exams that exists now].
James raised his eyebrows in surprise after hearing this answer and then asked, "Wait a second...If Eris is older than 16,000,000 years, how old is my wife Nemesis?"
[You\'d better ignore that question].
James was surprised when he read this message from Nyx, but he smiled.
"Wicked, she is an ancient being, how cool is that? I never thought about it, now she is even more cooler than before." James suddenly said, which seemed to be an answer that no one expected.
James tensed his whole body after these words and then said, "We have to start moving forward Ariel, we\'ve already stopped too long."
Ariel instantly agreed with him, wishing to move forward in the daylight, of course, she was aware of James\' night vision and they would have no trouble in the dead of night, but there was no harm in being careful.
With these thoughts in mind, the pair set off.
Because of both of their abilities, it was incredibly difficult for them to sink in the snow, indeed they were sinking maybe a centimetre maximum on the snow, and even the softness of the snow seemed to be evident in this way.
They did not know where to go, but they still had to keep going. With the cold air hitting their faces, the snowflakes falling on them and the white light in the beautiful sky, they were taking steps.
Now only time could tell where these steps would take them.
