Chapter 201: Expect the Unexpected
"Believe me, I don\'t know what\'s going on either, I was just looking for my elemental core, this black liquid flowing out of my body is just like the day I got my magic status, it\'s all meaningless, but I\'m sure I\'m getting an insane boost." James suddenly said. The fact that there was no message from Nyx, the person he expected the most messages from, seemed to tell him that something was wrong.
Although this could have been a completely wrong idea that James had.
After looking around, he frowned and then said, "By the way, Zeus, you didn\'t have to get so angry." As his confusion slowly began to fade, he remembered what Zeus had said.
With these words, the incredibly serious and tense atmosphere dissipated, and it was a fact that the huge group, including Zeus, burst into laughter.
"I want to use it," James suddenly said, and with that, he began to focus. It didn\'t take long for him to realise the sounds around him. When he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the flames in front of him, he was just as surprised as those watching him.
There were eight different coloured snakes in front of James. It was a strange sight, but it would be fair to say that each snake was very cute.
These snakes looked like the flames of creation themselves.
"Well, this is something I didn\'t expect," James said to himself and then decided to improvise.
"Come here!" he said, looking at the jet-black coloured snake. The flame suddenly turned to him and then leapt at James.
The snake wrapped itself around James\' arm as if trying to tell him something.
James stumbled for a few seconds held his head where he was and closed his eyes tightly, his head seemed to be in severe pain.
"Are you alright James?"
Suddenly nudged by Vlad\'s voice echoing in his mind, James opened his eyes somehow and then said, "My head is filling with information, even my mind palace ability is starting to shake, is this something I can use you for?" his eyes turned to the jet black snake coiled around his right arm.
The snake was not burning his arm or damaging his clothes, it was as if the snake of jet-black flames recognised its owner.
After James\' words, the snake shook its head and looked at the other snakes standing on the ground, and then each snake jumped on the black snake and added its colours to it.
In just ten seconds, the colours of the 8 Sacred Fires were once again in full colour.
The snakes were glowing with colour and their beauty was truly dazzling. However, all was not well on James\' side.
His nose started to bleed again, so many things, so many attack schemes, so much information about the tool that he was really confused.
When he focused on the files he had built in his head through his mind palace ability, he saw that thousands of memories began to exist in his brain.
He fell to his knees and held his heart tightly, it didn\'t hurt, but a strange feeling seemed to prevent him from breathing.
There was nothing anyone watching could do about it. After all, no one was allowed to enter the floor in this reward test that the tower had given to James and Ariel.
James didn\'t know what he had to do, all the information entering his mind was too much for his brain, and the waves from his brain seemed to exert an enormous amount of pressure on his body.
He was just about to lose it and faint when another voice echoed in his mind:
"Lie on your back on the ground, breathe deeply, and let the snow fall on you, the flames will turn it into drops of water if necessary, try to calm down."
James focused on Abby\'s words and somehow managed to lie down on the ground.
As soon as he lay down, he could feel that his body was in a more comfortable shape, he was breathing much more easily and that strange sensation in his body was felt much less.
"The blood flow in your body will become smooth. Right now your elemental core is developing, when you held the core you started to sprout something inside. Someone who can use magic will feel their heart surrounded by this sprout, and someone who can use aura will feel a part of their aura connecting with the sprout. You, on the other hand, feel much heavier than if you had both of them, there is information being imposed on your mind. Just try to relax."
Every time Abby\'s gentle voice churned in James\'s mind he was reminded of how glorious he was. He could actually feel the whole of Olympus and others going mad with stress right now, and on top of that, he could recognise the concerns of his ancestors and aunt.
He really could have been the richest man who had ever existed, after all, when you were surrounded by those who fought to protect you, you didn\'t even need a piece of gold.
When the bleeding from his nose stopped, the information loaded into his mind dropped to a very low number. While hundreds of attack schemes were uploaded to his mind per second, now one or two were entering at the same time.
The sudden strange danger that had happened seemed to disappear in an instant.
