Chapter 51: Finding Nothing About It
[Isn't it time for you to leave now?]
James' gaze left the window as it appeared before him and then he said, "I think it might be time, though it wouldn't make much sense to leave without tidying up."
James had been inside the library for almost two and a half months, not once had he been outside. He had gone through a long training sequence.
It was safe to say that he had come a long way, the first thing he had done was to find all the legendary grade books he could find, unfortunately, he had only seen two in two and a half months and both of them were nothing more than potion recipes.
The recipes were priceless, but still not what James was looking for.
He managed to find quite a lot of Unique degree books. However, only one of these books was on abilities, it was quite obvious that it was a useful ability, just what he expected was to have dozens of abilities and he could only find one.
[Brain Power(Unique++++)
The player will find it easier to learn everything they want to learn.
There will be a 70% increase in learning other languages.
Your language and accent will attract people's attention 10% more].
The ability seemed weak, but in short, it played a big role in increasing James' brain capacity.
So the ability was not weak, it was not a priceless ability, of course, but it was sure to help James.
During this time, he had not only buried himself in the search of books, but also tried to train himself a little in the way of the sword, so he was able to achieve another ability with enlightenment:
[Basic Weapon Mastery(Rare+++++)
The player's control over weapons will increase by 10%.
The player will use weapons more gracefully.
Power loss when using a weapon will be reduced by 10%.
The chance of fatigue will decrease by 70%].
This ability he had gained was actually what made him happy. The only thing that forced him into his current state was the uncomfortable feeling when using Clarent. The sword might have chosen him, but James could not use the sword properly.
With this ability, this discomfort would disappear. Unfortunately, the ability to use any weapon from the Aura ability did not help this discomfort.
However, James did not neglect to use the 100 distributable stat points given to him when he killed the Monster God.
His Strength stat increased by 20 points and reached the limit of 50. His Agility stat increased by 20 points to 79. The same number increase applied to Endurance and Intelligence, both of which increased to 41 and 59 respectively. He added the remaining 20 points directly to his Magic stat, and his magic increased to 120.
James was enormously powerful for someone who had only made it to the 9th floor. Floor 10 should not have been too big a problem for him.
However, James had come to the same conclusion as Nyx that there was nothing else for him to do in the library. He stood up and snapped his fingers, and one by one all the books on the floor slid back into place.
"I have to say, using the library is quite fun," James said suddenly, as another system window opened in front of him:
[I realise, I haven't forgotten you snapping your fingers in amusement.]
This window made James smile when he saw it, he was tired at the moment so he planned to rest for a day and then climb up to the 10th floor.
He left the library and made his way down the corridor, luckily it was only about five minutes from his room to the library, so that made it easy.
He quickly entered his room and, after a short shower, buried his head in the pillow on his bed. Soon his eyes closed and he fell asleep, and in the realm of the gods, something else was happening....
"So it's you, is it?"
When Nemesis uttered these words, someone was kneeling in front of her. All the gods and goddesses of Olympus were now standing in the hall.
Nyx and Erebus were sitting on their thrones, and Nemesis was interrogating the man with the crystal sword he was holding tightly in his hand like an executioner.
"Puhahaha...It took you so long to find me, I thought you would have found me a month ago, after all, you swallowed the bait I threw like a fish."
The man who uttered these words was suddenly punched by Nemesis. The sound of the punch seemed to echo throughout the mountain.
Despite the blood coming out of the man's mouth, the man did not stop smiling and continued to look Namesis in the eyes with a grin.
Nemesis, enraged by this sight, grabbed the man by the hair and suddenly slammed his head into the ground.
This attack was so heavy that the entire mountain trembled, Nemesis' anger was enormous.
"Nemesis, your mother has questions," Erebus suddenly said, and Nemesis grabbed him by the hair again and pulled him into a sitting position.
Nyx exhaled deeply after seeing this and then said, "Are you the one targeting the life of my dear warrior? I don't remember seeing you before, are you one of the losers' fallen gods trying to come back again?" she asked.
The smile on the man's face suddenly vanished after that question and he spoke, not even bothering to give Nyx the answer she wanted:
"That was only the beginning, you damned woman...I assure you, we will be taking your lives very soon! Not just Umbra, but ALL OLYMPUS AND ASGARD!!! DO YOU HEAR ME!!!"
After these words, Nemesis was about to hit the man when a sudden attack came from the area where the throne was.
The man's body suddenly fell to the ground and his head was in Nemesis' hand.
Nyx killed the man without even moving.
"Mum....I thought we were going to gather information..." Thanatos suddenly said, putting his hand to his head and marvelling at what had happened.
Nyx's retort seemed to remind everyone once again why she was the strongest.
"Oh my dear Thanatos, I have been living for a long time. The amount of corpses that I stepped on is way more than you can ever imagine. If I see someone I'll know if they will tell me what I want or not, don't you forget that ever."
"Get ready Zeus, I'm going to give you a bit of a headache. Go and gather information, tear down the entire realm of the gods if you have to. You said you wanted to fight and I said I would give you my power, I still haven't seen any results yet, be quick and don't disappoint me again."
Each person who looked into Nyx's eyes at these words could see the ruthlessness in her face, Nyx had given a firm order and it had to be done. The small battle on the 5th floor may have ended for the moment, but another one was about to begin again.
This was the true face of the most powerful woman in the realm of the gods.
