BXBX NOVEL Chapter 44: Creator Grade Talents
"So that's it," she said abruptly and then plunged her sword into the ground.
"Mirage of Battlefield," she said suddenly, her words echoing throughout the floor.
With these words, the floor began to tremble again and the huge area opened on the floor was closed. A crystalline floor began to move from James' feet to the very edge of the floor. Thousands of swords stuck in the ground appeared all over the area, and as soon as the area was formed, the following words were heard:
"The game of the gods is cruel. The children of the creators may be in the upper echelon, but you think too highly of yourself. I am a Chaos-Born, I will not be crushed under a lowly one like you. After all, you, born of the blood of Eternus, lost to my father when he was still on the 9th Floor. As a god, you died to a boy climbing a tower. Fallen gods should not choose to rise and fight."
After these words, James closed and opened his eyes again and realised that he could see the whole body of the black-and-white substance normally.
A man with horns and crimson hair stood before him.
[Stand as far back as you can, James. I, Nemesis, am still no god, even if I can ascend to the realm of the gods. The battle will escalate, this is a high god, just like my mum and dad].
When James read the window that had appeared in front of him, he moved as far away as he could and then climbed a tree, even though he could see what was happening thanks to the abilities Nyx had given him, the only thing on his mind was this woman who introduced herself as Nemesis.
Her beauty seemed to make his heart skip a beat.
Falling in love was the last thing he wanted.
Yet it was clear that this was more respect and tolerance than love. He never thought he would see a descendant of Nyx with his naked eyes, especially this early. If her daughter was this beautiful, how beautiful was Nyx, who was recognised by Chaos as being handcrafted down to every hair on her head?
"Perfect..." James muttered, learning more and more with every second he looked at the battle before him.
James looked at the bottom right of the system panel with his eyes and saw the card made of white crystal. When he touched the card, 36 cards appeared in front of his eyes and the panel clearly stated that he could only choose two.
James thought that now was not the time, but he realised that there was nothing else he could do, after all, he knew there was no such thing as joining the battle that was almost 10 minutes away.
As he looked at the 36 crystal cards in front of him he realised that they all glowed with the same brightness, indeed it was clear that whatever was chosen was going to have the same level of chance.
Still, James knew there was no point in waiting. By the time he had selected two of the cards, all the rest had been torn and burnt before his eyes, something that had never happened before.
"Different animation? What the fuck is this, a computer game?" James muttered.
When he turned over the first card left in front of him, a window opened in front of him as usual:
[Way to Be a God(Creator+++)
With this ability, the player will gain an extra attribute for every 5000 people who believe in him.
The new status [Holiness] has been unlocked.
Player's holiness increased by 2500].
When James looked at this window that had formed in front of him, he smiled and scratched his head as if he couldn't understand what was happening.
[Seriously, I've lost the possibility of watching you for just a few seconds and you're telling me that you've gained the ability to become a God?]
James read the window that had appeared in front of him and it was clear that it was Moros, the only two people who had ever spoken to him in such a friendly manner.
"I got the achievement when I saw that monster or god or whatever, I got another card. Do you want to see it?" James had no idea how lucky he was.
Even Nyx wasn't that lucky and she was the one who gave life to the goddesses of fate and the mother god of destiny.
[I do, no, everyone wants to see that, you have no idea what was the last time someone got an achievement worth of Creator-Grade.]
Taking a deep breath after reading this window and touching the card in front of him, the smile on James's face had suddenly risen to the realm of the gods, the opportunity to help Nemesis, which was now beginning to be suppressed.
Suddenly he leapt down from the tree and began to run across the crystal field. With each step, he was getting closer and closer to the battlefield, and he was welcoming the impact rising from the field with his whole body.
"PERFECT!" James exclaimed, and then added, "IT'S IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO ADMIRE NEMESIS!"
As Nemesis and the person he was fighting came into view, he waited, and after a few seconds of breathing, he caught the attention of the pair:
"YOU IGNORANT I TOLD YOU TO STFU!!! YOU'RE GONNA GET YOURSELF KILLED!!!" shouted Nemesis, but it was too late, the monster he was fighting had suddenly attacked with a tentacle-like thing.
James grabbed Clarent tightly and used all his speed abilities again to counter the tentacle.
Nemesis, who had taken advantage of this position to attack, managed to push the beast back with only a few moves and then stepped back to protect James, although he did not realise that this was unnecessary.
James suddenly stabbed Clarent into the ground and opened his hands to make the move to end the battle:
"AURA OF CHAOS!!!!"
