YM778.TV Chapter 223: Two Of Them
James had realised that Ruby, in bird form, could enter his inventory just like Miracle, so one less person was missing from the group.
Ariel had thought that after all they had been through, with only a day\'s rest, they could go to the next floor. James had nodded his head in awkward agreement, wishing to get to the 39th floor as soon as possible, after all, the 40th floor was going to be quite a challenge.
The 40th floor, the floor of righteousness where evil and good would be separated, would test both Ariel and James next to her.
With these, the necessary preparations had been made. Based on what they could understand from the previous expedition, they had not neglected to take dozens of pairs of clothes and even more food in their inventory just in case.
After saying goodbye to Eve, a white portal opened in the centre of the throne room. Just as the two were about to enter the portal, the door to the throne room opened violently and a white-haired woman with sharp ears entered.
She was sweating profusely, clearly agitated and frightened, and must have run to the throne room.
"EMPERESS, IT\'S HAPPENED!" shouted the white-haired woman.
Hearing those words, Eve suddenly closed her eyes painfully and realised that the last thing she had ever wanted to happen, or even wished would never happen, had happened.
"Calm down and tell me what\'s going on," Ariel suddenly said, wondering what was going on in the face of this concern.
James sends a message to Emma to close the portal with Ariel\'s words and then comes to the white-haired woman.
"Madam...Two of them have appeared...Two Fallen Gods have appeared at the edge of the Empire!" the white-haired woman said and collapsed as dramatically as possible and fainted.
James shook his head when he heard the words of the white-haired woman who had collapsed on the floor in front of him and tried to indicate that he did not want to believe such a thing.
It was an extreme situation.
Neither James nor Ariel could have foreseen this turn of events. Communication with outside forces was completely cut off and the two were left alone.
They weren\'t completely on their own. After all, the presence of Eve and her family was a detail that could not be overlooked.
Still, this was not enough. If two Fallen Gods were involved, everything could turn into the worst.
One fallen god was already demonstrating a huge potential for destruction. The last time a fallen god was confronted on the fifth floor, the entire floor had been thrown out of order, and the entrances to the floor and monitoring capabilities had been directly locked down.
The danger of such a thing made James suddenly open the message window section to send a message to Nyx.
"My lady, two Fallen Gods are currently on the 35th floor. We request the extra support of Olympus and Asgard and ask the angels and demons of heaven and hell for help."
When this message was successfully sent, the \'...\' sign that the message would return appeared in the message window, but suddenly the window was closed.
Communication with the outer floors seemed to be cut off, much to James\' horror.
On top of that, he had to fight not one Fallen God but two. On top of that, as if that wasn\'t enough, he had to do it on the 35th floor. As each floor was climbed, the Fallen Gods\' ability to use their abilities and level locks were unlocked.
Even Fallen Gods, the embodiment of spirituality, could become stronger in this way.
It was going to be a deadly battle.
"Miss Eve, is there any way we can get there fast?" James suddenly asked, and with that Eve nodded her head and replied, "Yes, there is such a way, we have a teleportation circle, we can teleport you to one of the cities on the north side after ten minutes of loading."
After this answer, Eve pointed to one of her children with her hand and then said, "Please guide them, and activate the teleportation circle as soon as possible."
With that, James, Ariel and a few other members of the imperial family made their way to the teleportation chamber, the magic zone in the centre of the palace.
Eve was filled with a strange adrenaline rush as she thought about the responsibility that had suddenly been thrust upon her.
In a short time, she had entrusted the duties of the palace to her daughter, the future empress, and had entered the teleportation chamber and jumped into the circle, hoping to fight alongside James.
After only 8 minutes, the circle was ready to be used.
James, Ariel, Eve and a few imperial bodyguards were teleported to a place even further away from the cities in the northern part of the empire.
The early start-up seemed to destabilise the transporter ring.
Either way, everything was in good shape. James could make out the Fallen Gods perhaps 100 kilometres away from them, but they were, as the name implies, far away.
Despite being so far away, James and the others could clearly understand the seriousness of the battle. James was seriously trying to formulate a plan.
He had some serious advantages. After all, he had his daughter Miracle, a Supreme Dragon, and on top of that, he also had the mystical beast Phoenix Ruby herself.
Even these two were enough to hold off the Fallen Gods for a certain period even possible for this red phoenix to bring a Fallen God close to death, although Ruby\'s powers were still insanely suppressed. After all, many Fallen Gods had fallen because of the presence of Desmond and the mystical beasts with him.
At least that was how Ruby praised herself.
The group was overwhelmed by this aura that was gradually overwhelming them. Indeed, even taking a step seemed like death to them, they should not underestimate the Fallen Gods.
After only half an hour of fast progress, the group finally managed to see the Fallen Gods.
What the group saw was exactly as follows:
Two people were on the earth. They were about three or three and a half metres tall. One could be described as a female and the other as a male. The bodies of the two were made entirely of darkness. They were just like the Fallen God James had encountered on the 9th floor.
The only problem was that although these two were separate from each other, it was clear how much they looked alike. It was highly likely that they were brothers, but none of that mattered to James in the slightest.
"Be careful, we don\'t know what we\'re up against," James suddenly said and reached into his inventory and pulled out both Ruby and his daughter Miracle.
Ruby couldn\'t see out of the inventory, so she just kept choosing to doze off. That\'s why Ruby\'s blood was boiling right now, she was hoping to have the strength she used to have, or at least be able to fight like she used to.
James\' body, however, had suddenly begun to glow. When the same thing happened to Ariel, James looked around to see what was going on and saw Eve praying with a wand formed in her hand.
James was definitely under a buff spell.
"Sir, please continue. For 10 minutes I have unleashed a spell on you that will break your physical limit and increase your strength and speed by 25%." Eve said.
After these words, James, who realised that he should not waste any more time, rushed forward to stop the Fallen Gods attacking the city.
James, who had almost four hundred metres of space between him and the Fallen God, continued to advance at full speed and took out the holy sword Clarent from his inventory on the way.
It was going to be a very complicated battle, but even if it was difficult to defeat, at least the fact that there was a scenario in which they could fight made everything better.
When James had almost reached the place where the Fallen Gods were, the holy sword Clarent was covered with flames. James stayed alert to protect himself just in case, and after a short time, the holy sword Clarent entered the leg of the Fallen God in front of him, and a gigantic scream echoed towards the sky:
"ORUUOOOOOGHHUURRR!!!"
After this huge scream, Eve, who was preparing to cast the spell again, calmly looked at James with shining eyes and then said, "Just like my ancestor did...What an honour."
This was going to be the hardest test James had ever taken.
