BXBX NOVEL Chapter 75: Catacomb Key
He stood up and bandaged the parts of his body that needed bandaging, then pulled the armour over his chest.
With that, the armour suddenly began to cover every part of James from the throat down. It was like some kind of nanotechnology, like one of those things in the movies that suddenly strengthens the whole body.
When this coating was finished James noticed that the armour was flexible like a suit of clothes, even the texture of the armour felt incredibly soft and good. After a few stretches, he decided to test the armour to see if it was any good and pulled Clarent out of his inventory.
After that, James, who had lifted Clarent into the air, suddenly lunged towards his own arm.
"CHING!"
An ear-piercing sound emerged in the room and stunned James for a few seconds.
[ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?]
James looked at the window that had suddenly appeared in front of him and then shook his head and said, "Well, not really, my lady."
[What if the armour wasn\'t tough enough? Do you want to drive me crazy, James?]
James was being bombarded by the messages Nyx was sending him one after the other, yet for a few seconds he had chosen to pull Nyx\'s jaw like he had pulled his mother\'s, and when the messages stopped coming, he spoke:
"I mean there are 4 gods and one of them is literally a Titan and Athena a goddess whom I respect who blessed this thing, you expect me not to trust this armour, my lady?"
After these words, the conversation seemed to stop, both sides were speechless, James was expressing heartwarming words, these words officially meant that he trusted Olympus completely.
[Well, don\'t do something stupid like that to show your trust. Also, you may have drunk the heal potion and closed most of your wounds, but you still need to rest].
James shook his head after reading this message and then said, "You\'re right, we can already consider the arena won for me, I don\'t think anyone will fight against me, not after seeing my ability."
What James said was true, no one was going to fight against him, the respect for him had risen to an enormous level and as we have seen before, no sane high-level climber would want to die after they had reached that point.
They would have been foolish to risk it.
So James had to rest, be at his best, and then wait for the arena to end because there was work to be done.
First, he would go to Nyx and whatever the others were, and then he would use something else that had been gifted to him to increase his power even more:
"Catacomb key pieces...now numbering three."
As James uttered these words he had taken out all three items from his inventory and placed them side by side, after a few seconds of staring he was able to put them together and then shielded himself from the large amount of green light that came into his eyes.
When the light went out, there was a lush green key right on his bed.
[Key to the Jade Palace Catacomb (Godly-)
Jade is an artificial portal full of monsters that will remain open for 72 hours, where you can earn infinite gold and a high level of experience points.
There is an unlimited number of treasures inside the Catacomb and you are only allowed to take 3 of them.
Each treasure will be of the \'Godly or High-Legendary\' grade.
If you try to extract additional treasure, you will have to face the guardian of the catacomb.
The catacomb greets you with respect].
James smiled as he read the properties of the key and read what was written on the second to last side.
"I think we\'ll go to this catacomb in a month when my ability\'s cooldown expires, so how about we defeat this guardian and steal all the treasures?"
The moment he uttered those words, every god and Chaos-Born in Olmypos smiled slyly. The look on James\' face and the thought of a catacomb guardian being defeated excited them all.
Catacombs were incredible things in the eyes of the gods. The treasures that could come out of them could help most low-level and even some high-level gods to become stronger.
No one knew exactly what the catacombs were. From Nyx and Erebus, even the duo had learnt that they were not created by Chaos.
The tower was alive, it had a soul, and players and users could be thought of as living organisms inside.
Some gods and famous thinkers argued that these catacombs created by the tower were in a sense spirit houses.
In other words, it was something that existed in the same logic as the Philosopher\'s Stone. The only difference was that the Philosopher\'s Stone was designed and created as special gifts by the administrators in the tower, while the Catacombs were thought to have been created by the tower itself.
Maybe the catacombs had a bigger story, maybe they hadn\'t even been created by the tower, but one thing was for sure, and that was that the rewards of entering these places were incalculable.
James absolutely could not miss such a thing, and when I say he could not miss it, he absolutely and absolutely would not leave without exploiting everything inside the catacomb.
After all, James\' personality had undergone a major change in this direction, his goal was to meet Chaos, and he was willing to go to great lengths to do so.
The catacomb would only be an improvement and a place of great entertainment for him.
