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

James and the huge troop that followed him were on their way to another city after the thousand-man troop they had placed in the city.

This time the city they were going to was even further east of the empire. The city was quite large, the reason for this was that this city belonged to a duke.

It came as bad news to Cordelia that the duke had sacrificed his life just to let the people escape. It was terrible news, everyone knew the duke's power, he was the hero of the empire and all continents, he was almost three thousand years old, and in the eyes of the people he was an ancient being.

In the old times of the tower, the existence of qi was officially unknown, which was the reason why Desmond and the others were living in such bad conditions. It was the only reason Desmond needed the blood of Vladimir the Sun Vampire.

Here was one of the most powerful beings in the empire, called a hero in the four continents, and one of the most powerful beings under the entire 27th floor and perhaps the 75th floor.

According to reports, the duke had fought for almost a week without a break. With his skill and strength, he had organised the teleportation device that would send his people to the imperial capital, and while doing so, he had killed almost ten Ancient Giants and hundreds of Ancient Demons with his own hands.

Nevertheless, he died in the end.

The reason for his death was not because he fought either the Ancient Giants or the Ancient Demons. The Duke was poisoned. There was no information about where this poisoning came from, but it was clear that even if there was no betrayal, at least his body was poisoned by a blow he received during the battle.

The whole army was moving forward with this information and waiting for orders from James. James had another concern.

They had travelled continuously for almost half a day, they knew that they were not tired as a group, the adrenaline in their bodies was so gigantic that first of all the indestructible heart and soul of the human race, and then all the races and their members continued to move forward without waiting.

No one could denigrate the sacrifices that had been made.

James' concern was Chao himself.

From the time Chao received the news of the duke's death and the information about how the duke might have died, the seriousness on his face had increased. It was as if Chao was afraid of something. The fact that he did not know what he was afraid of made James worry.

Chao himself was many times stronger than James, which was indisputable, the only reason James was ahead of him in some ways was because of his abilities. Chao as a holy beast could not possess any abilities, he only had his Aura and Qi.

That was the problem, Chao was afraid of something. Within each continent of the 27th Floor, within the territory of each empire or kingdom, within each forest, no creature or holy beast was as powerful as Chao.

It was troublesome to be able to see with the naked eye that Chao was afraid.

If such a being, such a holy beast, such a man was afraid of something, something was wrong, and James and Ariel were well aware of this.

Ariel was so worried about the situation that he was ready to use his Lord's Knight ability at any moment. Of course, Ariel would prevent James from endangering his life, but inwardly she prayed that such an event would not even be a possibility.

The army, numbering over ten thousand men, had slowly moved into the city, the largest city in the empire, second only to the capital.

Flags were burning all around, flags with the symbol of a crow had fallen to the ground, hundreds of metres from the entrance to the city.

The city looked completely fallen and abandoned, and in front of the city gates stood a man, his body green and covered with poison.

James' eyes widened when he saw this man and then he turned around and shouted "USE YOUR RADIATION SCROLLS NOW!!! GO BACK TO THE CAPITOL!!!".

Hearing his concern, every single member of the army pulled out their scrolls without thinking twice, and every single one of them instantly tore them up and disappeared.

Even if a few people, especially a few who did not look at James with tolerance, remained in the area, they were inwardly frightened as soon as they saw the concern on James' face. They knew how strong James was, James was the one who killed the dark demonic figure in one blow.

This caused them to take out their scrolls and after a short time, only James, Ariel and Chao were left almost a hundred metres away from the city.

When James looked at Chao's face with fear, he saw fear on the Holy Gryphon's face, or rather, it wasn't just a look of fear. It was more covered with worry and the urge to protect.

I think Chao wanted to protect James, who was right next to him, that was why he was worried, and this feeling gave him fear.

James couldn't even ask what they should do, he was so surprised by Chao's posture and expression that the next time he looked at the man in front of the city gate he couldn't help asking, "Who is it?"

Chao swallowed when he heard those words, and the sound of his swallowing rang in their ears.

"This is the second most powerful person on the 27th floor, the man who came after me. It's Duke Bai Fang himself. Guys, be very careful. One slip up and we're dead, it seems....he is a zombie now...a zombie that's almost as strong as me right now.'"

At Chao's words, James and Ariel could do nothing but swallow, just like him. Their fear seemed to have become quite apparent.

Still, there was nothing else left to do.

James re-equipped the Godly Sword Lumen and then looked at Ariel and Chao and said, "Let's go then."

With that, Chao suddenly released a huge amount of the aura in his body outwards. An incredibly large amount of aura energy began to press down on both James and Ariel. However, the two were lucky, since Chao had trained both James and Ariel in the aura, they were used to the pressure of this aura.

Bai Fang, however, was not in the same situation.

Bai Fang's body, a zombie with a lush green body, seemed to be crushing under the pressure. When the worry and fear on Chao's face turned into a strange look of sadness, the pressure of the aura increased even more, but strangely, Bai Fang began to defy this aura.

This meant only one thing:

Chao...must have trained Bai Fang as well.

Amid these thoughts, James suddenly lunged forward. It was normal not to have a plan, after all, the 'plan' he and the duo of Ariel and Chao had in mind was clear.

Bai Fang's soul had to be put to rest, his zombified body had to be destroyed.

James activated his dark step ability and, as usual, covered the Godly Sword Lumen with his aura and magic.

Bai Fang didn't move a single step and met James' attack head-on.

"SWOOSH!!!"

James' attack had created such pressure in the air that when Bai Fang met the attack, it was as if the air had exploded down to its molecules.

When the huge cloud of smoke dissipated, James jumped back a few steps because of the feeling of danger that suddenly descended in his heart and then looked at Bai Fang.

"At least we can do some damage," James suddenly said. He had managed to inflict a small wound on Bai Feng's left arm, and the wound was not healing.

This was very good news.

Chao and Ariel suddenly appeared in front of Bai Fang. They both attacked at the same time, and two blows landed on Bai Fang's body, which was still not moving.

When the dust had cleared again, Bai Fang was still motionless, staring at the trio around him. Even though his pupils were moving, his body had stopped moving.

"I....." Stay connected via empire

At the sudden voice, the trio suddenly stopped their attack and retreated backwards.

"Bai...." Chao said, his tone incredibly sad.

"I did it, my master." Bai Fang said suddenly, and James and Ariel turned to Chao in disbelief.

It was now clear why Bai Fang was able to resist Chao's aura. Bai Fang was indeed his student, and that was the reason for the sadness and sorrow in Chao's tone.

"You did what?" Chao asked....

Bai Fang had not become a zombie, he was still alive, even Chao had thought that he had turned into a zombie, but the old duke was still alive, only the amount of poison in his body was enormous.

James...maybe he could help him.
