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

Chapter 172: Breakthrough (2)

James kept circling the being, or guardian as he called it, for every second, the onlookers could see why he was doing this, the being he was fighting was not very intelligent and would be easily confused.

With each step James was spinning the aura in his body, as the spell merged back into his aura in a tiny way James felt like he was going to die, his whole body was hurting like crazy.

It was indeed a difficult process, James was trying to focus his elemental energy by separating the energy from his aura and magic, it was very similar to his death march in search of the elemental core. Only not as dangerous.

James knew what he had to do. He gathered his aura again, and as the flames died down, he released it, this time more frenzied and wild.

The whole room came alive with his colourful flames.

The guardian himself seemed to be panicking, there was nowhere for him to run because of the flames around him, he was limited in what he could do, he had to attack James, but even if this young man's speed was fast enough for him to reach, he did not have enough intelligence to understand what was happening.

The guardian was confused.

James, on the other hand, was aware of what was happening, he could see that the guard, this being in the darkness, was being penetrated.

After he had dispersed his aura, he saw that the aura energy in his body had decreased enormously, while he was trying to understand what was happening, he suddenly realised that the pain in his body had also started to decrease, indicating that the magic was starting to fuse positively with his aura.

James couldn't understand what was happening, something was pushing the magic in his body to fuse with his aura and it wasn't James himself.

It was only when he was running and focusing on his body that he suddenly realised what was happening.

"This..." James thought and smiled as he began to increase his speed even more, now he could make the attack.

With each step, the flames around him grew larger and more vibrant. James could clearly recognise the magic in his body, he saw again that the elements in his body had gone mad and a part of him was clinging to the magic with a tightly coalesced aura.

This was the real reason for his smile, an element in his body was literally going mad to attack.

James was about to take the last three steps, he was going to make the attack, when his sword suddenly flowed at Clarent, the magic-aura combination and the elemental itself clinging to the duo made the sword glow with a dark, green colour.

He had taken the first step, he could feel every muscle in his body twitching.

He had taken the second step, and he could feel all the blood vessels going crazy, his eyes were bleeding and blood was pouring from all the holes in his head.

He took the third step, stopped abruptly turned to the guard, the dark being, and made his move.

He thrust the sword forward over the slash and then everything stopped. Everyone watching could hear the heartbeat, even James himself could barely keep himself from fainting.

He wished he could do what Desmond wanted, what Desmond hoped, and he would.

His sword, Clarent, glowed with a jade light, the brightness drawing all eyes to it, representing the dryness and poison flame from the 8 sacred fire.

James's hair burst into flames and the attack began to move forward.

A flame of green poison suddenly shot out of the replica of the legendary sword Clarent like an atom bomb.

The flames travelled straight towards the guard and did not stop there either. The lush green flames almost hit the walls of the catacomb and the image of the flames showed the burn marks in the hall it illuminated.

"UGUUHHAAAAAGGH!!!!"

The guardian's screams reached everyone's ears, everyone saw what was happening and trembled with excitement.

James had achieved something that had never been achieved in history, he had managed to use aura and magic by adding elements to them, even if he could not combine them completely.

Even if James hadn't realised it, he had achieved something a million times more perfect than Desmond ever could.

The lush green flames did not stop, the aura-magic and the combined poison element charged into the legendary sword Clarent was so massive that the attack was still going on after almost thirty seconds.

In an instant, the lights in the auditorium came on, and even though the attack was still in progress, James and the onlookers realised in that instant that the guardian was already dead and gone.

James had completely cleaned the catacomb.

Not a grain of dust or ash was left of the guard's body, everything, and when he said that he meant everything, everything was gone.

When James looked in the direction of his attack, he stared at the wall of the hall that his attack had reached and then realised that the wall had disappeared. He could see the space itself behind the wall.

At that moment, James's head began to spin. He fell to his knees and realised that blood was pouring out of all the holes in his head, at that moment he heard Vlad's voice in his mind.

"Nice one James."

James smiled when he heard those three words, he was looking up at the ceiling of the hall, with the green flames around him and his hair in flames, he seemed to be showing the starry cosmos, although this cosmos's teeth were red from the blood, the smile he showed his teeth seemed to show that the cosmos was a very dangerous person.

At that moment James fell to the ground, and he fainted. It was quite natural, after all, what he had just done would have been a near-death experience for James, and as usual, Ariel would have chastised him.

Nevertheless, he had succeeded, he had indeed managed to do something that even Desmond could not have dreamed of doing.

For the first time since the tower's creation, James was the only one who could use magic and aura at the same time.
