Climbing the Tower to Be a God With 10x Gacha System
Chapter 102: Access to the Mountain

It had been almost twenty minutes since the duo entered the mountain path. So far, they had not encountered any monsters, and they were travelling relaxed yet alertly.

Climbing 7,000 metres would not have taken that long because the mountain was not just vertical; it was a spiral, as if someone had pulled the mountain from the earth and raised it to the sky.

So the duo of James and Nemesis continued on the path through the mountain, sometimes zigzagging and often circling.

"Are you all right, Neme?" James said suddenly, already worried about Nemesis turning back halfway up.

"Not really, thanks to the ring I got from my mum I can hold on a little, but the dark magic is really strong, it makes me nauseous and dizzy," Nemesis replied.

Many gods and goddesses had the ability to protect their minds at higher levels, but Nemesis still did not have one of these abilities.

Even if the ring that Nyx had given him helped Nemesis a little, it was still impossible to completely stop the hatred in the dark magic.

James was incredibly lucky to have the Mind Palace ability.

If he had wanted to create another ability instead of this ability, the 5th floor would fall. Of course, he was not the only one with the Mind Palace ability, but he was the only one with 100% protection against sleep, enchantment, etc., at least below the 75th floor.

This seemed like it would help him tremendously in such a situation.

"If you feel really bad, you come back instantly, got it?" James suddenly said.

Hearing these words, Nemesis nodded her head and indicated that she understood, at which point her eyes widened and she suddenly moved past James, blocking an attack with her crystal shield.

The glacial energy swept past James and Nemesis, several ice golems and, strangely, ice goblins stood before the pair.

"Let's get started then," James said, and suddenly he pulled Clarent out of his inventory and began to run. With each step, he avoided the ice arrows coming at him and approached the ice goblin in front of him.

As soon as he was in front of the ice goblin, he activated his aura, and dark flames surrounded an area of almost 5 metres.

The surrounding ice was melting a little, but it was not enough to stop these monsters.

James suddenly swung Clarent and the head of the ice goblin in front of him cracked open, the body fell to the ground and James tried to move towards the next target.

Just then Nemesis was in front of him again, killing 7 targets in almost half a minute.

"You mustn't tire yourself, James, let me fight," Nemesis said, her gaze full of concern and worry, the more James tired himself the more dangerous whatever was on the hill would become.

"I'm sorry Neme, please be careful," James said suddenly, there seemed to be no reason for him to fight anymore.

"Do you have any idea how far up we are, Neme?" James suddenly asked, and Nemesis shook her head and said, "We must be at least 500 metres up, the mountain is not like Mount Olympus, it's a spiral, I can't imagine how it was created, it's incredibly easy to climb."

When James nodded his head as if he understood, he said, "Then we have to speed up, we have to speed up."

As soon as Nemesis said she understood, she grabbed James and started running, this wasn't what James was talking about, but the fact that Nemesis was faster than him made everything easier.

It was as if he was sitting in a racing car and the car was travelling at maximum speed without ever losing control.

It would be wrong to say that James was not dizzy, the diameter of the mountain skirt may have been large, but it did not cover the upper parts of the mountain.

Even if he was still in possession of something wider, it was clear that he was still moving incredibly fast.

Nemesis came to an abrupt halt, put James down, and then lunged forward, gripping her crystal sword tightly. A huge icy golem stood before the pair, a golem so large that to the naked eye alone it could have been as much as 10 metres tall.

Nemesis suddenly plunged her crystal sword into the ground and started running, as James tried to realise what was happening Nemesis leapt into the air and started punching the golem in the face while holding the ice golem's head in one hand.

"Woah...."

James involuntarily said in an admiring manner and continued to watch Nemesis with his eyes wide open.

'POW!'

'POW!'

'POW!'

The sound of punches echoed up and down the mountain.

After a short time, the golem could no longer stand and fell backwards. Nemesis threw one last punch out of anger and went back to James looked at him and said, "We can continue."

James shook his head from side to side and then smiled and said, "I am so in love with you."

Nemesis had a strange expression on her face, but she smiled as if she liked these words, then embraced James again picked up her sword and started running again.

Not long after, after an hour of running and climbing the mountain, Nemesis stopped and looked at James, panting as if his movement was restricted.

"I can't go any further than this, it's like my mum said, the ring she gave me is a weak item because of how quickly she created it, it can only block dark magic for so long."

When Nemesis said these words, James nodded and said, "Be careful on your way back." and turned around, he would be the only one from here on.

After that it was up to James, even if it wasn't really long or dangerous, it was obvious that he would eventually face the god of danger.

Just as he was about to start moving, Nemesis' voice was heard once more:
