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

Chapter 247: So, It Was Not Danger?

[You can try jumping from one tree to another.] James was greeted with a message, this time from Nemesis, and the fact that no other message was being sent told James that all was well.

Taking a few steps back and looking at the ground through the trees, which had grown to almost six metres tall, he found that he could see the traps better and then used his dark step ability to leap to another tree almost ten metres away.

From behind he could see aura blades flying through the air, there seemed to be some sort of danger involved in moving through the air, but at least he wasn't in a terrible situation, after what he had just been through it was safe to say that he was at least 60% less in danger.

He quickly jumped from one tree to another, and indeed, as he went, he did not forget to throw sweets down from the trees behind him. Luckily for him, he loved sweets, they were small and James was never stingy with them, so throwing them was not a problem.

There wasn't much else to throw away anyway, after all, James's inventory was full of the necessary tools of war and tonnes of crates of food.

Which meant that the marshmallows were worth more than anything else in his inventory at the moment.

The flame spells that had begun to emerge from the trees, the pits of boiling oil that had suddenly opened up, and so much more were coming into view, and James was beginning to reach the other side of the forest.

It was possible to see out of the forest, only a few more trees remained.

Once he was past the danger he was able to step on the ground with ease and then sent a message to Ariel, "You go ahead and get the empress to safety just in case, I think I've found something, I'll investigate and come back later."

What James had found was a tribe, or rather it looked like a compound, it looked quite modern, or rather it looked like a place that was not dangerous, but James remembered the tracks he had seen, the danger could be here.

When James approached the compound, he met a few people. They looked like fish and stood trembling and shaking with spears in their hands, facing James.

James instantly realised that the reason for this was the holy sword Clarent in his hand, there was already a dark aura emanating from him, and on top of that, the aura of the holy sword Clarent itself was getting involved.

James raised his hands in the air to show that he was empty as he raised the holy sword to his inventory and then said, "I'm here to ask a few questions, I'm not an enemy."

Releasing their guard, these...fish people took a deep breath and then one of them said, "Please ask."

James smiled and shook his head and then said, "Almost half an hour ago, a human was dismembered at the other end of the forest, I wonder if any of you did it."

At his words, the fish people shook their heads left and right and then said, "We don't go in the forest! The forest is dangerous! The holy beast will take our lives! We live in the water and come out occasionally, we swear!" they shouted.

James strangely managed to believe these words, but he still needed more information.

"And what does this holy beast look like?" he asked.

"It has two claws like knives, like a praying mantis, a tail like a scorpion, wings like a hawk, and four strong legs like a lion. Very scary! Very scary!!!" replied one of the fish people.

James shook his head and saw these creatures trembling with fear and felt sorry for them and asked, "Do you know where I can find this monster?"

One of the fish men shook his head and pointed to the water and then said, "On the island in the middle of the water! Maybe he killed the human! It can fly and it's very fast!"

When James looked carefully, he could indeed see the small island, which was maybe 20 minutes away by swimming from land.

Smiling, he thanked the fish people and then, approaching the water, he took off his simple clothes and put them into his inventory, wearing only Adamant Armour Lux.

Immediately after stretching his body, he jumped into the water and started swimming. As soon as he used his dark step ability, his legs accelerated and he started to cover the distance quite quickly by paddling faster.

He managed to cover the 20-minute distance in almost 10 minutes and then set foot on the island. He dried himself quickly and then put his clothes back on, then began to walk around the island with slow steps.

After a short while, he was confronted by a strange sound.

"QUELCH!!!"

James immediately hid behind a tree and watched the open space with one eye to see where the sound was coming from.

It was then that he managed to see what the fish people were talking about.

It had four legs like a lion, wings like a hawk and claws, but no tail like a scorpion. This thing was a...Gryphon. It was the mythological beast herself, and it seemed to be in labour right now.

James thought that this monster needed help and immediately came out from behind the tree.

Although Gryphon saw him and tried to act in a very angry way, she calmed down with a word from James:

"Stop!" James had shouted, for moving at the moment of labour could harm the Gryphons that would be born.

"Don't move, you have to give birth in a healthy way, I'm here," James said and then he took out a huge basin, put it in front of Gryphon and filled it with water. Continue reading on ???

Even though Gryphon tried to understand what was happening, she continued the birth with great gratitude and James started to observe the surroundings to eliminate any danger.

What would happen would become clear after the birth.
