Chapter 113: 11th Floor
James was in his room, it had been almost an hour since he had said goodbye to Nemesis, and after talking to Ariel it was time to move to the next floor.
No matter how many times he had tried to give Miracle to her mother, Nemesis, the little girl had chosen to stay with her father, and there was little chance of whatever was inside 11th floor harming her unless they attacked her directly.
This meant that Miracle, with an average status score of 100, was as strong as her father.
Still, James had also gone through a huge power increase.

After he had distributed the 125 status points he had gained after certain achievements and other things to his main statuses of Strength, Agility and Endurance, he could clearly see that his body had become insanely strong.
With that, he was now ready to go to the next floor. On the 11th floor, he managed to get a little information about what it was like, it was said that the tower gave everyone the same test on this floor.
You are thrown into a valley and try to make it to the finish line while killing the monsters in the valley. If you think you can't make it, you can even return to the 10th floor. This meant that this was one of the few places where the tower, which could be considered dishonourable, was kind to the creatures inside.
There was only one difference, and that was that the contents of the valley changed according to the difficulty level chosen. According to what Nyx told him, the information he received from Chaos was as follows:
[The easy level valley was white, the normal level was red, the hard level was black, and the Hell difficulty was green].
That's how the difficulties were determined, at least according to what he was told.
After all this, James straightened his Adamant armour, put the ring on his finger in a proper shape, tidied up his inventory, took Miracle in his arms and said, "Emma, I want to go to the next floor."
After these words, James passed through the portal that opened right in front of him and came to a completely different place. He realised that he was in a different place than he thought.
"Ummm...Dear Mother Nyx...Are we sure that is not a Canyon?" James asked the valleys he knew were much different.
[The valley is the beginning of the floor test, each step puts pressure on the body and when you enter the canyon, you encounter monsters and then the test continues in that area, you are in the valley now, that's where you need to go.]
James suddenly saw the window that had formed in front of him and read it, then he shook his head and said "Makes sense." and put Miracle down.
"Be careful Miracle, if you feel bad go back to your dragon form, remember what your mum said, you're much stronger in that form." James suddenly said, Miracle nodded and the pair started to move forward.
James realised that everything was indeed as Nyx had said. Maybe it was because his stamina had increased, but he realised that he felt good despite the pressure and weight on him after each step he took.
Still, even with a distance of almost 300 metres, he could hear the growling coming from inside the canyon, and the fact that he was trying to walk while hearing disgusting sounds was the hardest thing.
"Zombies?" James said suddenly and suddenly two system windows appeared in front of him:
[Yes, I remember how much this floor disgusted me.]
[They're pretty disgusting aren't they, not like normal zombies.]
James suddenly appeared out of nowhere and saw that one of the windows was coming from Nyx and the other from Nemesis, he smiled and said, "You used to be one, what happened, did you two fight?"
He meant it as a joke, what Nemesis was doing was going through the 75th floor, she was just watching James in the meantime, and since the 75th floor required different materials from everyone, Nemesis wished to make progress in this regard.
After all, she hadn't tried to cross that floor in almost a hundred years.
With that, James and Miracle in hot pursuit reached the entrance to the canyon.
James had a clear view of the zombies inside, and could instantly see why Nemesis and Nyx had called them abominations.
Most of the zombies were walking around normally, but dozens of zombies were digging into the canyon walls with their hands. It looked like they were trying to climb the canyon walls.
The sounds of fingernails and hands hitting the walls had already made James' stomach turn, and if it wasn't for the stamina the Mind Palace had given him, he would have thrown up somewhere.
[The zombies on the wall will never attack you, but watch out for the ones on the road, they will attack you.]
James nodded as he read another message from Nyx, indicating that he understood. He started to move forward with slow steps and carefully tried to take his steps as accurately as possible.
He could see the zombies clearly, even some of the ones on the road seemed to move away when they saw him.
"Oh yeah...the Undead were afraid of me..." James suddenly said, and everyone, including Nyx and the others, seemed to have forgotten that.
Even though they were still early in the level, James was quite comfortable that he had an advantage in this regard, even if they were to fight them, they still wouldn't be that hard to defeat.
It looked like they were going to get through this floor quite quickly.
