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

"What should I use?" James muttered, the question seeming to occur to him when he saw Elanor leaning against his shoulder.

At that moment, though, a smile rose to his face. It was obvious that he could use the item he had obtained with the Bell of Hpynos right now.

He looked at his inventory with a smiling face and then calmly said, "Loki's Mask." He had thought about where he could use this item when he had won it, but he had not reached any answer, who would have thought that his gacha ability would have saved him while the tower was beating James to the ground?

All he had to do now was wait, when Elanor woke up he would give her another meal and then he would tell her the plan.

For now, he would have to wait...

-----

It had been almost 20 minutes since Elanor had opened her eyes again, and even though James had told her that they had to be careful with their meals, there was now a table of food in front of her that would have looked like the food in the mansion.

"Please eat and listen carefully my lady, I will tell you what we are going to do," James said and Elanor's attention turned to him.

Seeing the young woman begin to consume the food, James leaned his back against the wall of this strange place they were in and then began to speak:

"If you know of a safe place, a place where no one can find you, get in, or even smell you, please tell me, we have to go there."

Elanor swallowed the morsel in her mouth after uttering these words and then said, "This is such a place, equipped with sacred power, based on black magic, no one can even feel the existence of this place, we are underground, there is no safer place than here."

When James heard those words, he thought that Loki's mask would be of no use, after all, he had intended it to get Elanor out of where they were and as far away from danger as possible.

"Very well then, it's up to me, we don't even need to put you in danger," James said suddenly. These words seemed to make Elanor think.

"I'm going to leave here and go straight to the mansion, I'm going to take as many shapeshifters and necromancers as I can, and then I'm going to slaughter them all."

"You may be wondering how I'm going to do that."

After speaking one after the other, he took out the Bell of Hypnos from his inventory and continued his speech with a smile:

"This bell belongs to a god, and believe me a strong one too. When used, I can put anyone at any distance into a deep sleep, a sleep so deep that even if they fall into the lava, they will not wake up from the shock of pain. Since I am completely impervious to sleep spells, I will be able to kill any enemies I gather, so all I ask is that whatever you do, don't leave this place."

As James finished speaking, he saw tears falling from Elanor's eyes. He didn't know what had happened, and he stood there as if he had no idea what he was supposed to say.

"Thank you very much...Thank you very much indeed, please avenge my family, I beg you."

James had only the faintest idea of what he should say when Elanor uttered those words, but they weighed enormously for him, but for Elanor they weighed everything.

"You know, my lady...I lost my parents when I least expected it. It was a normal accident, but I wasn't even of legal age, I was all alone, my relatives pushed me away and I had to work from a young age.'"

"Maybe I can't fully understand what you are going through, after all, even if my parents died a painful death...even if I lost them in front of my eyes, I was still well brought up, to survive.'

"I already knew the realities of the world, but you are all alone, just like me. As I said, I cannot possibly understand what you are going through, but rest assured that I grieve for you."

These words stopped Elanor in her tracks and made her cry even more deeply, maybe she was silent, but the tears that fell from her eyes said it all.

"Yes...let it flow...." James thought of something he had not been able to do in his time.

With that James stood up and then looked at the clock hanging on the wall, it was night-time, the time when shapeshifters and necromancers were most active as far as he knew.

Yet it was also the time when James was least worried.

James was a warrior of Nyx and the night served him, the moonlight loved him and fate itself had his back. He had nothing to fear.

"How far is it from here to the mansion, my lady?" James asked suddenly and Elanor replied, "Almost half an hour, we arrived last night, don't you remember?"

James shook his head when he heard these words and then smiled and said, "I'm just having problems with time, Chronos must have something to do with it."

He had no idea how these simple words had made Chronus laugh.

As calmly as he could, he left the underground and emerged into a wooded area. He could hear owls hooting all around him.

After a deep yawn, he pulled out the Clarent he had put in his inventory when he had crossed the passage and equipped Selene's Throwing Knife in his other hand.

The moon was high, the moon was full, his will was now at its peak and the light of the moon reflected the will in his eyes. Even he had no idea how much this knife would help.

He saw a footprint on the ground that had not been completely erased and knew instantly that this was the way they had come, he started to move quickly and soon realised that the view in front of him had changed.

He could see the mansion very clearly. He could see the handcuffed people around and could visualise the necromancers whipping them.

The battle could now begin.
