Climbing the Tower to Be a God With 10x Gacha System
Chapter 5: Legendary Sword Clarent

"God, Buddha, Odin, Zeus, Satan, whatever is up there, I beg you to let me win something good just once please!"

James had been praying for almost fifteen seconds, clearly afraid to open his eyes and touch the cards.

He took a deep breath and suddenly opened his eyes, saw the same card scene in front of him and touched the card. At that moment, what he had hoped for was realised:

"I have a golden card...yellow...I have won a legendary card."

James could clearly see the yellow card shimmering between the green and blue cards. He didn't need to rub his eyes or anything, he could see everything clearly and distinctly.

"Please...something good," James said in a low, steady voice as he slowly reached out and touched the card.

A weapon fell in front of James after the deep light that had suddenly risen in the area where the knights were.

[Clarent(Replica-Legendary---)

"Haha...HAHAHAHAHA! I won Clarent...This must be a dream...I won one of the King's swords!" shouted James, he really did not expect such a thing.

However, it became clear why cards of red colour and above never appeared. If a yellow card could give someone such enormous power, what could a black card give James? Even if red was inferior to yellow, wouldn't it still have an enormous effect?

James managed to get to his feet, even though he was about to go mad, he had only equipped himself with sturdy armour from the trash items in front of him and had sent a few food items to the sub-space that had come to him from the system, the smile on his face made him look like he was not on a battlefield.

"Mr Knight, are you all right?"

One of the knight captains who had come to help had heard the news and had heard how bravely James had rescued people, and his shouting now must have alarmed the knights around him.

"Forgive my rudeness, sir! I was just thankful to be alive and useful," James said, and with that, the knight captain nodded in relief and then put his hand on James' shoulder.

"I'm proud of you soldier, and that sword...what is that, your magic or something? Or did you win a gift from the gods, honourable knights can win such things after all."

James was happy when the knight captain said these words, it was a relief to have a system in place that the knights could rely on even in strange situations, after all, he did not wish to face heroes like Leno in addition to the enemy monsters.

However, the knights seemed to have finished resting and gathering and burning the dead. Every one of them stood at attention, ready to move. When James noticed their badly damaged armour, he pointed to the armour he had left on the ground and said that they could use them, that each one had its own magic.

The battle was in full swing and James, who was now incredibly strong, could continue to fight, he had very little to fear.

The group began to move forward, there were screams, shouts of fear and growls of monsters as images of large and tall beings could be seen in the distance.

"TROLLS!!!" shouted one of the knights, pointing with his hand to where the figures were.

Almost a dozen of these large figures were walking around. Some of them were attacking those around them, while others were spinning around and looking around like fools.

It was obvious that the intelligence of these creatures was not high, but what was written on their heads was very dangerous.

"Cave Troll (Level 9)"

"Cave Troll (Level 12)"

"Cave Troll (Level 6)"

Even though the levels were too high for James, he had already learnt that it wasn't all about the levels. He was able to defeat the warrior goblin, a superior evolution of the goblin.

On top of that, thanks to his ability to calm his heart, he didn't even think about being scared, maybe a little stressed, but there was no compulsion not to cross this obstacle.

"Let's go, captain, if we don't stop those bastards, who will!" James said suddenly, and with that, the Clarent in his hand started to glow, and the sword's ability seemed to start working.

"THAT'S RIGHT SOLDIER, FULL SPEED AHEAD, TIME TO DESTROY THOSE BASTARDS!"

The knight captain's voice literally echoed through the collapsed buildings as every single person began to make their way out, including the hunters who were hiding and even the knights who were too tired to continue.

Even some of the civilians were coming out with clubs and knives and everything else.

James didn't realise what was going on, he was just looking for a reason to dive at the monsters, he never thought that the power of the sword was so huge. I mean, technically, Clarent was Excalibur's twin, and that made it a huge powerhouse, but still, the knights were getting very, very fired up.

Still, this was going to work in James' favour, after all, there was not a great distance between them and the statue, even if he did not know exactly how to complete the task, even if he had no idea what he would face, a voice inside James was telling him to reach the statue as soon as possible.

This meant they had to get past the cave trolls.
