Chapter 224: Ruby Is Way Better
Chapter 224: Ruby Is Way Better
At the sound of this gigantic scream, James suddenly stepped back and pulled the holy sword Clarent out of the leg he had stabbed him with.
Enough blood to fill dozens of buckets began to come out of the leg he had stabbed.
One of the Fallen Gods was female and one was male, and the Fallen God that James had stabbed in the leg seemed to be the female. They were not particularly large in size or appearance.
As James and the others had already noticed, they were about three or three and a half metres tall. In short, they were about the size of the little Olympian giants James had met before.
That's why James thought as arrogantly as possible that he would be faster than these Fallen Gods. After all, almost every monster or user he had ever encountered that was bigger than him had a status distribution that tended towards strength and endurance as their bodies grew.
Of course, this was true for anyone other than magic-using giants or large beings like Atlas.
Atlas was a magic user, after all, even though he had great stamina and a large body.
James suddenly reached into his inventory and released Ruby, who had been waiting at the ready.
The moment Ruby stepped out, the Fallen Gods saw her and then the female Fallen God turned to James and shouted "IT'S YOU!!! KUTLU HERSELF WORSHIPS ONLY HIM!!!'"
James looked towards Ruby when he heard these words and sent a mental dialogue "Worship?".
When Ruby shook her head, she came out of her bird form and when she turned back into human form, she was smiling with joy. It was almost like she was happy to hear about "worshipping".
With that, she started to release her magic around.
The Fallen Gods instantly took a few steps back and began to form a defensive formation.
At that very moment, a large ball from the water hit their defensive formation and a gigantic sound echoed throughout the city:
"BOOOM!!!"
James, as if he knew who was doing this attack, rushed forward without even turning his head and dived into the smoke coming out of the big ball of water.
He knew there was no need for him to take his daughter Miracle out, and so he had the idea that he should strike first. After all, he knew that someone like Ruby was behind him now, and he knew that he was strong enough to directly counter several attacks from the Fallen Gods.
As she entered the smoke, she noticed the male Fallen God standing in front of the female Fallen God, and thinking that she should target the female behind her, she took out Selene's Throwing Knife from her inventory to try her luck.
The male Fallen God met the attack head-on but did not realise what James was doing.
Selene's Throwing Knife was filled with poison magic.
The blade successfully struck the male Fallen God and failed to penetrate its skin. There was not much of a visible 'appearance' of this duo anyway. They looked just like the Fallen God James had encountered on the 9th floor.
Still, it seemed that these Fallen Gods were more intelligent. After all, as Nyx had previously stated, the Fallen God that James had fought with Nemesis had gone insane. Indeed, the being had lost nearly every ounce of its intelligence.
He was probably one of the first Fallen Gods to be killed. After all, it was strangely well known, at least to Nyx and the others, that most Fallen Gods were the offspring of Chaos' ridiculous creators.
The poison had already begun to spread through his body when the poisoned blade struck the Fallen God's hand.
Even if James was a Poison Master, it was obvious that his poison level was not yet sufficient to kill a god, which was why he had tried to use his poison energy to stall the Fallen God for a while.
The male Fallen God managed to stumble for a few seconds. As he was travelling left and right, James passed by him, and the holy sword covered Clarent with its fiery aura as he attempted an attack on the female Fallen God.

"CHING!!!"
Her attack was blocked and James was struck by a punch.
James literally flew through the air for almost ten metres and when he landed back on the ground he realised that he had given Ruby enough time.
Ruby's mana suddenly ignited and a hundred metres of the city entrance they were in, including the city entrance itself, was completely engulfed in flames.
The flames were a pure orange colour, and even if they were not very strong, they were at least strong enough to drive away the weak.
Every soldier, mage, hunter or mage preparing to attack from inside the city suddenly stopped as if ordered to retreat.
They had already witnessed Eve's magic, each of them far away from them. They seemed to have got the idea that if the Empress was here, they had nothing to worry about.
They were quite right in their thinking.
After all, Empress Eve was not alone. Next to Eve were Ariel, who had begun to prepare for battle, and James, who had already begun to fight.
When James saw the flames around, he thought that the flames should become even stronger. Since they were in a place of great influence like the city, James thought that he should definitely not use the poison flame.
In fact, James could not think of any flames he could use other than the white flames of ice. After all, it was the only flame that could slow the Fallen Gods down. He couldn't use poison, he couldn't use purple flames to cloud the mind, and he couldn't go and wreak havoc around the city using blue or black flames, after all, he knew they would win and he didn't want to cause difficulties to the living creatures here.
On top of that, he was sure that the white flames of ice would do the trick.
That's why James suddenly activated all the mana in his body, and on top of that, he started to use the power in the elemental core.
8 Sacred Fire was instantly activated and after a short time, the orange flames that Ruby had started to emit disappeared, merging into their white colour.
"Just the way I wanted it!" Ruby shouted. Suddenly, the beautiful woman leapt into the air, and as she leapt into the air, her wings began to flap proudly, doing everything they could to keep her in the air.
As soon as Ruby began to fly in the air, the flames she had spread began to gather in her hands.
A gigantic cold hung suspended in the atmosphere of the entire city. Every patch of greenery began to have the natural phenomena of the frost itself, and some plants even began to freeze completely.
James was witnessing Ruby's perfect magic as if he could not believe his eyes. It was a great honour just to be able to watch Ruby gathering every bit of flame on the earth in her hands, James was just now able to understand what a mystical beast really was.
Such control of the flame, such control of mana and such control of magic was truly mind-boggling. Ruby's level was the epitome of perfection.
With these thoughts in mind, she stood still and then reached into her inventory and as gently as she could, she brought out her daughter Miracle.
When the little girl Miracle came out in her human form, she looked around, understanding what was happening, she had her mother's tactical intelligence so she could see what was happening in the inventory and she already knew what to do.
The intelligence of this one-year-old girl was astonishing.
As soon as the little girl Miracle looked at her father, she started to release her mana and started to feed the flames around her.
James was releasing 8 Sacred Fire and his daughter Miracle was feeding the icy white flame itself.
After almost twenty seconds James realised that something was coming towards them and he saw that the Fallen Gods had finally come to their senses.
It wouldn't change anything, though, because Ruby's spell was already at the ready.
"I'm putting everything into this attack little one, after this, I'm going to go into a sleep state, I'm sure one will die but I'll leave the other to you."
James smiled as he heard those words in his mind and then nodded.
This was the last sign Ruby needed to continue.
If the end was as Ruby thought it would be, then surely and James would be able to take down everything else on his own. It would be difficult because the Fallen Gods had a high level of power, but James was not powerless.
Ruby's help would change everything.
However, the time had come. Ruby suddenly sent all the flames she had gathered back to earth.
When Miracle, the little girl, had formed a magic shield around herself and her father, the fireball of icy white fire, almost the size of a football, that Ruby had sent, was on its way to hit the earth.
