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

Chapter 259: One Shotting

This land, which had turned into hell by being engulfed in black and azure flames, looked frightening.

Even distant human cultivators had begun to gather in the area, realising the war that was taking place.

Seeing Chao tell each of them that they had to join the war and seeing the holy Gryphon was enough for each of them.

The group had grown from just three people to a massive group with over a hundred cultivators joining them.

Ariel started giving orders to the cultivators on the right flank, and the rest followed Chao and started fighting, especially in the area where the imp was.

James began to attack the ten remaining demons at that moment.

With each swing of his sword, he cut the demons' spells and jumped to the next demon. When his sword thinned the aura on Lumen even more, he managed to cut the heads of the next 8 demons one after the other in almost five seconds.

When the last remaining demon saw this, it started running towards the centre of the dirty mana, where the seal was.

James immediately ran after him and in a short time, just before the demon touched the centre of the unclean mana, he managed to stab the Lumen into its back.

The demon fell to the ground pushing and James, thinking it was dead, ran to help the others.

After almost five seconds he became aware of a huge aura rising behind him. His whole body trembled as if he had never seen such a dirty aura.

When he turned around and looked at the source of this problem, his eyes widened. It seemed that the demon was not dead, it was still alive even though James had ripped his heart out of his back, and with the blood on his hands, he lay on the seal where the unclean mana was collected and suddenly died on the spot.

This released the person that the unclean mana had kept inside.

He was about the same size as James. He was maybe one metre and eighty-five centimetres tall, he was quite thin, maybe forty or fifty kilograms at that size. His pupils were jet black, no other colour was visible where his eyes were. He had a pair of crimson horns sticking out of his head. His hair was jet black and bare, and it was obvious that he had no sex.

Just looking at this demon was enough to pin James in place, it was clear that there was no longer a huge power differential between them. The only reason James stayed where he was was because the sight of the demon was chilling.

Chao, like everyone else, sensed this dirty aura and immediately came to James' side, looking at this "monster" with a very strange expression.

Chao stepped in front of James to protect him and signalled him to stay back with his hand. Chao was much stronger than this monster, but the fact that he did not know what this monster demon could do made everything dangerous.

"I can help," James said.

"I'm aware of that too, stand back a little and watch his attack scheme, there's no way he's physically stronger than me, but...that dirty aura will overwhelm me, try to come up with a solution," Chao said in reply and with that James immediately jumped backwards and waited.

Both of Chao's hands had turned into claws, it was clear that he was going to put up a serious fight. This holy Gryphon Chao had more qi than any power centre in the entire empire, a powerful being indeed. However, this demon in front of him was very dangerous, he could suppress Chao's qi just by emitting a dirty aura.

At that very moment, the duel between the two began. Both Chao and the demon began to clash with each other.

Both of their hands were like claws, or rather, the sharpness of the demon's nails made them look like claws. However, it was clear that the demon's body was not very strong, some of its nails were already torn apart.

It was at that moment that James thought of something.

"Ariel, Chao, listen to me carefully. Chao, try to take the demon somewhere beyond, Ariel and I will try to break the weakening spell together, the seal must be in the pieces." James said. With the help of the void pen, he transferred these words to the duo and it started to happen exactly as he wanted.

Chao began to push the demon away from the area with harder blows. In just a minute, these two beings transformed with each other and managed to move almost four hundred metres away from the battlefield.

James and Ariel immediately approached the dirty mana seal from which the demon had emerged. Their bodies were numb. The centre of the dirty mana was in such a terrible state that Ariel herself was trying her best not to vomit.

James was getting incredibly dizzy.

Nevertheless, the two of them managed to get quite close to the dirty mana seal. When they looked inside the seal, they saw that a flower covered with a rune was inside.

Ariel was about to take the flower when James stopped her and shook his head left and right.

He seemed to instantly recognise the runes on the flower.

In this way, he was able to produce a solution instantly. Carefully, he reached into his inventory and pulled out a shovel to take the soil where the flower had been planted with the flower.

Ariel looked at James as if she didn't understand what was going on, and James spoke at that moment:

"These runes are explosive runes, one wrong move and we can say goodbye to the north of the empire, even the south of the empire will be affected by this explosion when dirty mana is spread so much."

With these words, James carefully stuck the shovel within fifteen centimetres of the flower. He started to lift the soil, albeit slowly.

The fact that he was out of breath while doing this explained how dangerous it was.

He lifted the soil, albeit slowly, and managed to take the flower with its roots. She was about to put the flower on the shovel into the container she had taken out of Ariel's inventory when suddenly the ground shook incredibly.

"BOOOOOM!!!"

A huge explosion rang out in the distance, revealing the seriousness of the battle between Chao and the demon.

The shovel in James' hand was incredibly shaken and the earth almost fell to the ground. If Ariel hadn't grabbed James at the last moment to keep him from falling, the two of them and everyone else in the area would be dead.

"Careful, you idiot!" Ariel muttered, and then brought the container closer to the shovel and managed to place the flower covered in runes into the container.

Instantly, James had the container in his inventory, and with it, the dirty mana began to dissipate a little. Such a massively dirty mana would not disappear immediately, but at least there was no longer anything to support it.

This meant that the flower itself was the only thing that had created the tainted mana and cast the weakening spell.

James could feel his power returning to his body. He could feel the mana...the magic itself. He could feel his whole body trembling with excitement.

He closed his eyes and inhaled the air deeply into his lungs, he could barely feel the dirty mana now, all his energy was restored.

"I'll leave this place to you, Ariel," James said suddenly, and without waiting for an answer, he started running towards the area where Chao and the demon were fighting.

He was getting faster and faster with each step. There was no accounting for the effect that the status points he had gained thanks to the Lumen had added to him.

Quickly and carefully, he covered a distance of half a kilometre in almost half a minute, and with that, he could see the fighting duo.

With each clash of the duo, the sky rumbled angrily as fists and claws clashed with each other, a deep, thick sound that was heard throughout the sky.

James instantly began to gather his aura and mana on the Godly Sword Lumen, wanting to try out his newly acquired ability, which seemed to have been weakened by the destruction of the spell where the demon seal had been.

This meant that James could kill him.

After a brief moment, he chanted "Soul Impact" and then activated his other spell, "Pierce".

He instantly used this single attack from Desmond's Swordsmanship, and as Chao threw the demon back, an attack of jet-black flames almost a metre wide began to advance.

Reaching a speed that didn't even last a second, James' attack hit the demon's upper right torso.

"BOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!!!"

It was as if an atomic bomb had exploded. James was amazed by the power of the soul impact spell he had used.

In a word, it was a perfect attack.

Chao smiled at the success of the attack and retreated a few tens of metres. When the cloud of smoke disappeared, the demon was visible again.

Due to the impact of the attack, the demon's right arm was completely separated from its body. Even if the demon's upper right region was healed, his arm was not.

The demon's arm, which had fallen to the earth, was burnt to ashes in just a few seconds in black flames.

There was nothing more ironic than a demon being so damaged by fire.
