Chapter 200: I Gained WHAT?
Chapter 200: I Gained WHAT?
After a short time, James felt a wonderful heat begin to build up in front of him. He could feel his whole body burning from head to toe.
He could feel himself getting strangely wet, something like sweat was coming out of his body, it was an incredibly strange sensation.
The heat was increasing with each second and getting closer and closer to James.
Unable to bear it any longer, James opened his eyes and saw that the elemental nucleus he had seen earlier was waiting just to the left of his heart.
He slowly reached out his hand to the element core.
When he started to approach the elemental core, the heat had officially risen to an unbearable temperature, but James managed to hold the elemental core as a last resort, and then the heat gathered around him began to burn him.
"GUAH!!!"
James was suddenly out of his meditative state. He was surrounded by a dark liquid and all the snow in an area of almost half a kilometre around him seemed to have melted.
Even though he couldn't understand what was happening, the pain in his body was exquisite, his heart was pounding and he was losing a lot of blood, even though his auto-healing ability was trying to help him.
Suddenly James reached into his inventory, looking for something.
After a short while he pulled a pill out of his inventory and suddenly popped it into his mouth and swallowed it.
After only half a minute, he was spinning like crazy. His head seemed to be beginning to return to normal. The pill he had swallowed was a pill that helped his blood to clot and regenerate and it was very valuable indeed, James even had close to twenty pills in his hand.
James slowly realised that his breathing was starting to return to normal and he began to sit calmly in his seat to regain consciousness. Just then a notification window opened in front of him:
[High-Level Fire Elemental has evolved!]
When he read this notification window, he blinked his eyes as if he couldn't understand what was going on, and then clicked on the notification, perhaps an explanation could be found in the properties section of the notification:
[High-Level Fire Elemental has evolved!
After the user's deep meditation, the user has now been able to access his elemental core, which is the main foundation of the element.
The fire element, the element that the user is most compatible with, has evolved with the cultivation of this core. By training the core, it is possible to evolve more elements.
High-Level Fire Elemental ability has evolved to 8 Sacred Fire(Sealed)].
James was dumbfounded again, remembering that the name of the ability he had just gained was no different from the flames of creation in the story Chronos had told him. They officially had the same name.
[James, read the description of the ability now.]
It wasn't long before he received a message from Chronos, just as he had expected.
"Yes, master," James said, and opened the ability's features section to observe the ability:
[8 Secret Fire(Creator+++++)(Sealed)
Do you want to know how the creation came into existence? Don't you want to know how all beings came into existence, how all existences, all universes, all galaxies, all stars and all planets came into existence?
Chaos had been looking for a long time for someone to bless these 8 Sacred Fires he used in creation, but it was obvious that no one could do it. From the weakest insect to the holiest goddess, no one's body could handle this power. The ability to create new life was inherent in the element itself.
The ability has the [SEALED] property because it will exert enormous pressure on the user, forcing his body to strain and explode, and can kill the user instantly. The user is simply too WEAK to use the full ability.
Therefore, the grade of the ability, the element, has been reduced from [Creator+++++] to [Legendary-----].
The ability's powers have been reduced to its lowest level and the powers are as follows:
The user's flame attacks will increase by 300% depending on the mana level applied.
The user's fire attacks will consume 500% less mana.
Anything fire-based found in nature or the vicinity of living creatures will have its susceptibility increased by 50% against the user.
Fire-based abilities will be 50% easier for the user to master.
The user's Charisma stat has increased by 50.
The user's Magic stat is increased by 500.
The user's Luck stat has increased by 30.
User's Intelligence stat increased by 300].
James' eyes widened when he read this ability, he had forgotten to breathe, message window after message window was opening in front of him, and James really agreed with each of them.
Zeus had sent a message saying [FUCK YOU!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS!?]
[Is the Tower kidding?] Hecate muttered.
[Did you just gain the flames of creation?] said Hera.
When James read each message one by one, he saw that neither Chronos nor any other family member had sent a message, and it was obvious that they were as surprised as James.
After a few minutes of silence, the expected message came:
[James...Your luck status is almost equal to a lowest-level god...It seems to me that from now on you will only get legendary-grade things from the gacha].
When James looked at this message from Moros, he saw that his Luck status had increased by exactly 30. The function of the luck statuses given to people in the tower was quite strange. Even just one point of luck status increase could make a huge difference, but the fact that he suddenly gained 30 status points was a huge event.
James was almost always unlucky, and that's why he started the tower with a luck status of 2. At first, since the points from the levels earned were distributed as one point, his luck status increased a little more, and then he had excellent luck with 20 luck status points from the class he received from Nyx.
This was probably one of the biggest reasons why he hasn't died so far.
Still, the fact that his Luck stat had exceeded 50 points was bringing James closer to a god, even only with his one status.
Indeed, it was possible to say that this was the first step into the realm of gods.
