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

Chapter 246: A New Danger



After almost an hour of talking, James finally realised that loud noises were coming from outside. It was only when Ariel knocked on the carriage door that James realised something was wrong and that the mission had begun.

The smile on his face instantly vanished and he felt like he was a robot.

The people inside the carriage were so surprised by his change that they even thought that James might be a hypocrite as if he was wearing a mask and that mask had just come off.

"I'm sorry, ladies, it's finally worked out," James said, and immediately got out of the carriage, turned to Ariel and said, "Stay with the carriage, just in case, and I'll take care of the rest."

After these words, he immediately started running and activated his dark step ability without waiting.

He quickly arrived at the scene where he thought the incident had taken place and saw many men and women gathered around.

When he managed to pass through them quickly, he came across a corpse that was literally torn to pieces. A man was sobbing at the head of the body and shouting "BROTHER, BROTHER!".

When James got close to the body, he made a few hand gestures to disperse the people around him, and when the people stepped back, he got closer to the body and started to search for traces.

After receiving orders from the empress, a few imperial soldiers arrived on the scene and pulled the people back to make it easier for James.

"PLEASE FIND! FIND MY BROTHER'S MURDERER!!!" came a scream from the younger brother of the body's owner.

While James was crushed by the pain in this voice, he started to continue his search for the traces around with a clear eye that at least this was what he had to do.

Most of the tracks were confused because of the people around, but James could see quite easily that most of the tracks led into the woods ahead.

James turned to one of the imperial soldiers and said "Tell Ariel who is with the empress that we are going into full seriousness mode, she will protect the empress, and I will enter the forest."

The Imperial soldier left the area as soon as he nodded his head up and down, and after a short time, James put the holy sword Clarent in his inventory and started walking towards the forest. Your adventure continues at mvl

The crowd and soldiers behind him seemed to be questioning whether James knew where he had entered, one of them even turning to the other and asking, "He knows he entered the Forest of Death, doesn't he? Could he be a cultivator?"

This floor was such a floor, contrary to what James didn't know, each floor from the 35th to the 40th floor was a continuous floor, so when he took ownership of the 36th floor, he took ownership of a rather huge world.

This floor was the place where cultivators that could be seen in TV series or novels continued to exist, and even climbers using aura tried to train for a long time and refused to climb the floors.

The Forest of Death was probably one of the most dangerous places, even if its name was quite common on the floors of the tower. In this forest, it was impossible to locate the traps even by using the aura or magical energy, the mana itself, and the forest itself consisted only of traps.

Swamps that would pull you in as if they were grabbing you by every part of your body, strange types of wraiths, aura-based weapons that would fly at you, and many more.

James had entered the forest without knowing any of this, he didn't know if his mission was to go here or not, but at least it was something he could do, maybe he might come across a hidden reward or something different, and he was willing to take the risk.

As he cautiously entered the forest he looked around and realised that nothing looked familiar. Of course, he was on another floor, but that was not what he thought. From the type of grass on the ground to the trees around, everything seemed to have suddenly changed into a different species.

Each plant had a very light red colour as if someone had drawn these trees, grasses and sometimes flowers with their hands.

He was scanning everywhere with his mana and could not find anything.

As he continued to move forward very cautiously, he took his left step somewhere and then his whole body trembled from head to toe, signalling to him that danger was approaching. When he suddenly jumped into the air, he saw the lava region that had formed directly below him, and as he approached back to the earth, he used 8 Sacred Fire and threw himself to the left with the momentum of the fire.

After he fell to the ground, he looked at the lava pit with fearful eyes and thought that there was a problem with his mana.

While he was trying to understand what was going on, a message window opened in front of him:

[In the forest of death, controlling things with mana and aura is useless, unless you have Qi, you can't achieve anything, you can't see anything, just be careful].

As soon as he saw this message from Erebus, he stood up and took out a package from his inventory. It was a packet of sweets, and although James didn't know whether he would succeed or not, he dipped his hand into the packet and threw the sweets around.

As soon as the sweets hit the ground, iron stakes stretching almost three metres, logs coming out of the trees towards where the sweets had fallen, and many more began to appear and James watched with his mouth open.

Although he had thrown almost fifty candies at once, almost thirty traps had been exposed. He hadn't even reached the depths of the forest yet.

He had no idea what to do.
