Chapter 165: Magic, Above the Human Limit
"I wish to bestow this ring on James, specifically!" said Archangel Michael.
"I wish to bestow this ring on James, specifically!" said Fallen Angel Lucifer.
At these words, the two stood up and tried to move to grab each other by the neck.
While Michael was being held by Gabriel himself to keep him from fighting, Lucifer was being held by Beelzebub. Although these two brothers were on very good terms, they were also in a terrible state.
However, the dolls had taken the rings and disappeared, and while Michael and Lucifer were trying to fight, the dolls had already appeared in front of James.
James suddenly took out his sword Clarent from his inventory and while he was trying to understand what was going on, the male of the dolls, Ruler, started to speak:
"Hello, great Umbra. My name is Ruler, I'm the junior admin of Master Archangel Michael, and this is Amber, the junior admin of Master Fallen Angel Lucifer. We are here to bring you gifts, and with your permission, we would like to present them to you before you begin your adventure."
James paused for a few seconds after these words, and then a personal message from Emma appeared in front of him before he could ask anything:
[Sir, they are administrators like me, they are lower level than me, but you can trust them].
After this message, James nodded his head and then said, "Sure, I'd be happy to."
Ruler, one of the dolls, waved his hands at these words and a ring far, far beyond the ordinary, covered with a white light, appeared just above his hand.
When Amber, the other doll, waved her hand, another ring, far, far beyond the ordinary, covered with a dark light, appeared.
When James took the rings in his hand, he checked their properties and was amazed by what he saw:
[The Ring of Divine Power (Godly-)
It is the ring that Archangel Michael had forged by Tubal-Cain, the first blacksmith, and then blessed by himself, Gabriel, Raphael and finally Uriel.
Increases the wearer's personal healing by 30% when worn.
Increases the wearer's mana recovery by 100% when worn.
Grants the wearer a 10-strength stat when worn.
Grants the wearer 20 endurance stats when worn].
When James read the description of the ring from Michael, he slipped it on his finger without a second thought, it was impossible not to be excited by what he read, he was sure that with this ring alone, he would gain the respect of most angels.
However, it was time for the next ring, the ring bestowed by Lucifer:
[Ring of Holy Magic (Godly++)
Fallen Angel is the ring that Lucifer had forged by Tubal-Cain, the first blacksmith, and then blessed to be used intermittently for hundreds of years. This ring was created by Lucifer after being jealous of Michael, which is why the ring has so much power and has been blessed for hundreds of years.
Increases the wearer's mana recovery by 100% when worn.
Grants the wearer 500 magic stat when worn.
When worn, the wearer can empower low-level demons at their disposal].
When James had finished reading the description of this ring, he stayed where he was for a few seconds and then inhaled and exhaled deeply. These two rings that were now in his hands were completely priceless. James realised this very clearly and his heart was pounding.
The moment he put on the ring sent by Lucifer, he realised the magic power that had changed in his body. His magic power had surpassed 2000 status points and he had managed to surpass the magic power of an ordinary elf, let alone a human. This was a gigantic number.
James was able to see runes, everything related to magic, and even the tiny magic cells in dolls with just a single closing and opening of his eyes.
James was now at his most gigantic as a three-ringed wizard, and if he wanted to sit down and create a fourth ring, it would be a piece of cake.

With that James shook his head and then said, "I...Thank you very much, I am very grateful indeed, Master Michael and Lucifer, I am very grateful that you have honoured me with these gifts," he didn't know what more he could say.
The dolls disappeared instantly, leaving only a message from Nyx:
[I'll thank those two for you, it's been a long time since I left Olympus].
James smiled when he read this message window and then said, "As you wish, my lady, I must be on my way, we are in a huge dungeon after all."
After these words, the atmosphere became silent, James could now continue on his way, or rather his adventure had just begun.
He said nothing and moved very quickly, constantly looking around, but even in the rooms he entered and the small passages he passed through, there were only the skeletons and skulls of hundreds of people.
James kept coming across the same type of room, it was quite frustrating, he could feel that something was wrong.
He cautiously left the room he was in and then looked around, his eyes widened as he realised that he was indeed in a trap.
However, he could see the exit of the trap quite clearly. James could see a path glowing with mana, or magical energy.
He began to follow the path at a leisurely pace, each step producing a rattling sound around him. It was indeed an ear-splitting sound, but James overcame it and tried to understand what it was.
It didn't take James long to realise that something, or things, were nearby, though he had a very clear idea that the being he was about to encounter was far weaker than he was.
After all, James' power had indeed been doubled with the ring he had received from Lucifer alone, at least that was the case with his magic.
He knew he was ready for whatever he was going to face.
