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

Chapter 219: Ruby's Art



"The only reason I am angry with each of you, my lady, and the only reason I have been so rude to you is because you continue to see me as Desmond. Each of you saw me as me and valued me until you learnt that I was his descendant, but now you see me as him only because I am Desmond's descendant. However, I see you as my family and as valuable beings." James said after a short walk.

With these words, each of the spectators, who felt as if they were devastated, managed to recover a little bit. Of course, they still saw James as one of their own, but no one could say they didn't miss Desmond, which was why James felt so pressurised.

Unlike them, James was young, even Nemesis himself was quite old, but he could feel under pressure. In this case, the fact that James knew how he felt, and how many people he had to please, was one of the things that brought him down.

After all, James was still a human being.

Continuing on his way, James questioned whether he had really spoken badly, but there were still other things he needed to learn.

"What about the relics? You ordered their recovery, didn't you? Theseus told me, any news?" James suddenly asked, trying to lighten the mood a little.

[As a matter of fact, yes. On the 60th floor, they've managed to clear all the ruins. Over a hundred relics have been recovered and almost 40 have been sent to me to be cleaned and prepared for use].

James read the message in front of him and said, "I didn't know they could send things to you, my lady, amazing."

[When they pray to the items placed on the altar, I can receive them as gifts, the problem is sending them back, or anything else, would take an enormous amount of energy].

Having responded positively to every single message from Nyx, James saw that he had almost left the forest, he could see the tall village walls through the trees.

He had just left the forest when he suddenly noticed movement in the thick clothing he was wearing and looked in his inside pocket to see Sophia.

"Good morning dear queen, I assume you slept well?" James suddenly said he had indeed forgotten Sophia's existence in all the danger he was in, he was sure that the pixie queen would be of great help after all.

"Good morning master!" Sophia said and suddenly she came out of the pocket she was sleeping in and landed on James' head.

"What happened to your hair colour?" the little queen asked, and James, hearing this, smiled just like those who watched him and said, "It's a long story."

After a short time, he managed to reach the village and after meeting the group again and explaining some of what had happened to them, he went straight to take a shower.

After washing himself well, he went back to his room and then said, "Well, Grandma Ruby, show yourself."

After these words, Ruby, who appeared as a human being right in front of James, seemed to surprise the audience.

Each of the Titans knew very clearly who Ruby was. It was now understandable why James had spoken such loving words to Nemesis, it would have taken a different achievement to meet and live with Ruby.

Speaking of achievements, James had of course managed to achieve achievements by cleaning this dungeon.

He cleared a dungeon for the first time and was gifted 100000 gold for it.

Then he was given a special card for clearing a Creator-Grade dungeon. Even if he did not know where the ability he had gained in this event, which was completely dependent on luck, he knew very clearly that it would eventually come in handy:

[Seal Magic(Godly+)

This ability is a form of magic created by Cain the Tailor, the tower's third in command at the time. It is said to be able to seal even a low-level god with the use of the rune spell and the ability to use the rune spell.

It is a known fact that no one knows this spell except Cain the Tailor.

This spell is designed to work only on people who use magic.

When the spell is applied properly, it is possible to prevent the other person from using magic.

If the spell is applied incorrectly, the user's use of magic will be locked for a while].

On top of that, James was greeted with a notification about encountering a superior mystical beast. Honestly, he had no idea why he didn't get this achievement against a Supreme Dragon who was considered his daughter, but one way or another, he was able to win another Goldy-Grade card pick because of this achievement, and this time he won something he never thought he would win:

[Tarot Cards of Blasphemy(Godly++++)

Unlike the usual Tarot cards, it is a box with 3 cards that can be renewed but have only one use. The cards inside the box are known as curses, which have the properties of 'Bad Luck', 'Destruction' and 'Death' respectively.

The only thing known about these cards is what kind of powers they have and how they are used.

The person to whom the cards are applied will place a curse on the applied card and the effects of these cards will fade after exactly one year. Within a year, the contents of the cards will be placed on the person to whom the curse is applied, each event based on 'Bad Luck', 'Destruction' and 'Death'.

When you apply the

"Death"

card to someone, even if that person is in heaven, a meteorite may fall on his/her head.

When you apply the

"Destruction"

card to someone, that person and everyone he/she cares about can be infected with the plague.

If you apply the card

"Bad Luck"

to someone, he/she will be in danger of losing everything he/she owns, and if he/she does not make the right moves, this danger will become real.

If the person to whom the card is applied does not die within a year, the card will be returned to the user empty. With the necessary spells, it will be possible to refill the card with another spell or curse type].

These three strange-looking tarot cards would rank in the top five best items James has ever owned, perhaps even surpassing the holy sword Clarent itself.

With all that he had gained from the achievements, it was time to move on to Ruby's case.

Ruby was looking carefully at James and trying to point to the bed with her eyes. Everyone realised that James needed to sleep.

When James lay down on the bed, he closed his eyes and managed to fall asleep after not more than ten seconds.

When he opened his eyes again, he was faced with a vast view of a white surface and a sky filled with the image of space.

Ruby was standing in front of him.

"So Grandma? What am I going to learn?" James suddenly asked, and Ruby, hearing this, smiled and said, "This."

When Ruby uttered that single word, a strange energy began to radiate out of Ruby. The energy was moving around Ruby and reacting like her arms.

Each movement of the energy was aligned one by one, and then after a short time, these dark beings born from darkness...or rather death, were revealed.

"Is this the art of death?" James asked and saw Ruby smile.

"Yes, little one. This is the very art you will be practising. Of course, the reason I wanted to teach you this art in your dream was not only because everything would happen faster. Another reason is that you won't feel pain here." Ruby said and then started to control these dark beings.

The dark beings looked just like Ruby, but they seemed to fight without any particular shape or body.

There were only two of them, but even James realised that they seemed to have a mind of their own and the ability to be controlled.

"This...is...very strange..." James said suddenly and then he heard Ruby's voice again.

"This, my sweet child, is the art I have created. I created this art in the dungeon you cleared and in just a year or so I was able to create two beings. I didn't try to develop this ability afterwards, of course, I was too lazy for that, but we both know that this ability will come in handy."

As Ruby uttered these words, the dark beings suddenly fell to the ground and the strange 'deadly' energy disappeared.

"Lucky for you, you'll have a good teacher and thanks to Nyx, you're quite prone to the darkness, although I wouldn't call it darkness...more like the energy of the cosmic night...Whatever it is, we agree that you can get a good education, sit down, and we can start now."
