Climbing the Tower to Be a God With 10x Gacha System
Chapter 74: Adamant Armor "Lux"

The audience was stunned, it was incredible that James had defeated an opponent who had made it up to the 60th floor with virtually untouchability, and not only defeated him but killed him on top of that.

It really should have been impossible.

This was a great situation because it was absolutely strange and perfect that someone who had just reached the 10th floor could defeat someone who had reached the 60th floor, even though his abilities were suppressed and impossible.

This strange situation had worried the climber rankers who were likely to face James. It was obvious that each of them would retreat. They could not really throw their lives away like fools when they were so close to becoming gods.

Not when James had an ability that made him untouchable.

When the referee signalled the end of the bout, James stepped down from the arena, the blood pouring down his face showing the depth of the beating he had taken before using his immunity, the Aura of Chaos ability.

His face was really dishevelled. The area under his eye was swollen, his body was cut like crazy, and the blood flowing from his nose and mouth formed a small puddle.

Slowly but surely, he still managed to descend the stairs of the arena and finally made it to the waiting room. He pushed the door of the hall and managed to enter even if he was limping.

As soon as he entered, he encountered an unexpected crowd:

"What the hell was that!!!"

"All support to you, Umbra!"

"I've never seen such a duel in my life, it was at least 100 times more fun than the duel with Ariel!"

James was dumbfounded by the sound of voices and applause, he was really having a hard time understanding what was going on, yes the achievement he had won was huge, but it seemed strange to him that the opponents he would most likely fight were behaving like this.

"I will withdraw from the duel, Mr Umbra, if I am to face you. You're trying to get on Lady Nyx's side, aren't you? At least I'll have one more win to your name."

James smiled when he heard these words and was touched by the behaviour of the people around him, indeed, for once he was surrounded by people who were happy and enthusiastic, not because he had chosen Nyx, but because he had done a good job.

There was no way to describe this beautiful feeling.

Shaking his head and gently moving through the crowd, James soon made his way to the door at the other end of the hall, where the dorms were, and made his way to his room. After a short time, he managed to enter his room and threw himself directly under the water.

[Are you all right, love?]

When James opened his eyes and looked at the message window in front of him, he shook his head and then said, "I'm fine, my lady, I'm just angry with the way the tower works. 60th floor is really too much, if it wasn't for my Aura of Chaos ability, I would have died." He could feel the adrenaline still flowing in his body.

He quickly got out from under the water and threw himself on the bed after putting some clothes on, his body was very heavy.

He wanted to rest again, so he closed his eyes, but suddenly he heard a sound, like some kind of notification:

"Ding."

[The Way to Be a God ability is activated.

The player gained a total of 83,247 believers/people who trust him.

The Holiness stat is increased by 2500.

The Player is awarded 50 status points.

A Godly ranked card was gifted.

A piece of the Catacomb Key (Legendary-) was gifted].

James opened and closed his eyes several times involuntarily as he opened his eyes and read the texts in front of him, he seemed to be thinking whether what he saw in front of him was real or not.

"Ummmm...this ability isn't supposed to be something like this, is it? Or am I out of my mind?"

As James said these words, he immediately saw the black card in the system at the bottom right of his eye and scratched his head, wasn't this ability only supposed to give attributes?

[I have no idea about this, most people who pass the 75th floor have this ability, but I have never encountered such a thing, James.]

After reading the message window that appeared in front of him, James scratched his head and said "Aaaah, well?" in surprise and added the 50 status points he had gained for free directly to his Agility status.

His Agility status increased to 129 points, and he realised that his whole body felt tremendously lighter.

After that, his eyes turned to the black card and he tapped on it to use it, and the moment the card was opened, James' swollen lip curled upwards:

[Lux(Godly+++++)

This armour was forged by Hephaestus in the River of Styx. It is made of 24 kilograms of Adamant, and its durability and lightness were increased by Atlas and Hermes themselves.

There are 4 gods and a goddess who have blessed the armour, namely Hephaestus, Hades, Atlas, Hermes and Athena.

Hephaestus blessed the armour to make the wearer more sensitive to fire.

Hades blessed the armour to comfort the wearer in moments of death, and to calm the wearer's mind.

Atlas blessed the armour to protect the wearer from the impact of attacks.

Hermes blessed the armour to completely protect the wearer from Adamant, which is heavy when the wearer is not a god.

Athena blessed the armour to reflect the wearer's superior charisma.

The armour can be changed to suit the wearer. It is one of Hephaestus' masterpieces, designed by Hephaestus over 12 million years ago to be worn all over the body and to be as thin as paper.

The colour of the armour is all white to reflect its name].

As James read the window in front of him, a white breastplate appeared in front of him, he couldn't believe the window he was looking at, but he was very happy to see the armour in front of him with his eyes.

"Well...That was something I didn't expect...."
