Chapter 241: Elanor?
Chapter 241: Elanor?
"Lady Nyx, this feeling is a little too weird, you know this floor?"
After James' question, silence reigned for almost two minutes. Only after close to three minutes did a reply come from Nyx:
[I have no idea, no one does].
The moment James saw the message and showed it to Ariel, their hearts began to race. The tower offered everyone a different floor, but these floors had been repeating for a long time. In other words, instead of giving everyone the same adventure, or more precisely, instead of offering the same cruelty to everyone, it was the purpose of the tower itself to kill everyone differently.
The reason why James and Ariel did not like this situation was that the tower paid special attention to these two.
The tower had a self, and the tower itself loved to use itself in different ways, choosing to pay attention to many people since the history of its creation.
Among them, as James had learnt, was Nyx's own daughter, Eris, and the fact that Eris had made it through the 75th floor on her own, despite all this, had shown her potential.
Still, even if the tower paid attention to one person or more than one person, it didn't do it all the time. Since James had entered the tower, it had even changed the function of the tower itself towards him. It was like the tower trying to keep up with James in the 'passion and desire' section of the first floor, the area with the Sea of Rascals.
Despite all this, it had not been seen for a long time that the tower had created a floor for someone or something else. It was even possible to say it was hundreds of thousands or millions of years.
And that was the scary thing, James and Ariel were shuddering so much, being subjected to such a strange sensation that it was impossible not to be afraid, even involuntarily.
"Be careful, Ariel," James said, and then he started to point ahead, indicating that he was going to speed up, he didn't know what was following them, but he could at least jump from one tree branch to another to investigate the area.
That's exactly why he quickly climbed up a tree and began to move quickly using his dark stepping ability.
Ariel seemed to have enough speed to follow her, she must have levelled up quite a lot since she killed the Ancient Giant.
As he jumped from one tree to the next, James began to feel as if something or things were following him.
It was impossible to tell what these things were, but whatever they were, they were fast.
After almost thirty minutes of hard running, James and Ariel arrived in front of an average-sized village.
There was a manor house at the far end of the village, and the inside of the village appeared to be empty, or rather "abandoned".
James made a few hand gestures, signalling to Ariel to keep her attention to the rear, in short, he wanted her to watch her back.
With that, James pulled the holy sword Clarent out of his inventory and gripped it tightly, and as he did so, he recognised a voice in his mind:
"Careful James, this is pretty creepy even for me."
It was Vladimir's voice and the fact that even he was saying such a thing gave him a slight indication of what they might be up against.
After a fairly thorough search of the village, neither James nor Ariel had found any trace of anything. They had even checked under every bed or piece of furniture in every house in the village with the idea that there might be a hidden passageway in the village.
Still, there was nothing. Continue reading at m|v-l'e -NovelBin.net
This meant that the only place they should have checked was the manor house because it was the only place that didn't look abandoned.
When James made another sign to Ariel, who was watching his back, he pointed to the mansion, and with that, the two quickly made their way to the door of the mansion.
As James approached the mansion he realised that everything was quite familiar, after a few shakes of his head he said rather nervously, "No way?"
He was in the same area where he had completed his floor mission a long time ago. When he turned around and took another look at the village, he realised that it had been renovated, the village, which had not shown any signs of life before, had become lively and could even be considered a small city.
"Ariel, really stay with me, don't go away for a second, I know this place," James said.
Not only him, but also the gods and goddesses watching him were surprised by this situation. They had never seen anything like this before, it was as if the tower was trying to reveal something that could be considered 'hidden' because they, like James, remembered very clearly where this place was.
When James opened the door to the mansion and walked in, he shook his head, smiled and muttered, "Really...Is it really you...Elanor?" as if he couldn't hide his surprise.
As soon as James said those words, a beautiful woman with greying hair, who looked to be perhaps sixty years old, and a few people with her appeared.
As soon as the old woman saw James, she stood up and then ran over and hugged him.
While James was thankful that this woman was still well, the huge painting standing by the stairs leading to the upper floor attracted his attention.
There was only one person in the painting and it was James himself, of course with his hair still green. Even if he could not understand what was going on, James's surprise and smile seemed to tell what kind of situation he was in.
She was someone he had saved, but who remained a hole in his heart, and James was overflowing with the pleasure of seeing her here.
He had met an old acquaintance.
