Climbing the Tower to Be a God With 10x Gacha System

"He's fine, don't worry," Selene said suddenly and the squad leader smiled and asked, "Is there any way we can reach him, my lady? Do they need help? Maybe this time we can help.

Selene thought about it, and after almost two minutes of waiting, she gestured to the west and said, "The west of the Empire awaits you."

This could be considered a decisive order, an order from the Lady of the Moon.

At Selene's command, the military company suddenly left the imperial palace and then the imperial capital.

All that remained was the place where Olympus had fought, the place Selene had perhaps paid the most attention to, the place where the battle had been the fiercest and most serious, where there had been the most casualties and the most victories:

[Imperial border].

Olympus was full of people who were especially adept at rune spells and weakening or strengthening spells, which is why James assigned them to the worst place, even though it was dangerous, the borderlands, where demon beasts and even many ancient beasts would pass.

It symbolized James' trust in Olympus, but it also spoke volumes about the danger that was heading towards them, even if involuntarily.

After all, we were not talking about thousands of demon beasts or tens of thousands of them.

The number of monsters trying to cross the borders of the empire had passed the six-hundred-thousand mark and was growing every day.

It was an incredibly dangerous thing, something that Olympus might not be able to withstand for very long. Of course, that would have been said by fools who lied about their weakness.

Many people might perhaps have chosen gods or goddesses on the 1st floor, in the Sea of Rascals region, or perhaps on the 20th floor. Nevertheless, there was something to be understood here:

[Olympos is Olympos. Not every single person foolish enough to insult this place would understand death by lightning strikes or by dying suddenly with their heads exploding from the pressure thousands of meters under the sea. Death would greet them, and Charon would take their soul into Hades and deliver it into the hands of Hades, the god of the underworld].

They would never be humiliated.

Theseus had part of the power of his father Poseidon, Perseus had a little of the power of his father Zeus, and Pan had part of the power of his father Hermes. Such heroes, high god-borns, could not be taken lightly.

Olympus would not fall so easily, such a thing was literally impossible.

"RUUAGGHHHHHH!!!"

Perseus shouted as he plunged his sharpened harp sword into one of the ancient demons. The ancient demon, already red with the blood of its enemies, could not withstand Perseus' attack and died on the spot.

Theseus and the other heroes and god-borns he had taken with him were trying to protect the border as best they could.

Although Olympus was fighting on the front lines, their losses after a week of fighting were only 1,000. This was an incredibly small number for the reality of war.

The Olympians were not running away from the battle, they were really fighting for their lives and that is why they had not lost more than a thousand people.

They had already surpassed the number of demon beast hunts by over a hundred thousand. It was indeed an excellence that honoured their ancestors, the high warriors.

Theseus' orders from James were clear. His father Poseidon had told him to follow James as his leader no matter what, and Theseus planned to do so whether his father wanted him to or not, he couldn't let down the man he considered his closest friend.

The orders were to kill as many ancient demons as possible, and with them as many ancient monsters. Theseus was up to the task.

He had travelled thousands of kilometres from one side of the border to the other with almost a thousand Olympian soldiers, and he had done it over and over again.

He had slain almost a hundred ancient monsters with this army of a thousand men, losing only twenty of his subordinates in the process. He was one of the few people whose name would go down in history in golden letters. He was a true leader.

After almost half a day of non-stop fighting, the number of demon monsters had been reduced to an incredible extent. On top of that, the ancient monsters were no longer staying where they were. At least the borders of the Mountain Empire of the northern continent were completely secure.

The only problem now was what was happening inside.

Perseus was immediately sent to break the seals of ancient monsters, especially ancient demons.

Perseus was strangely sad to be away from the battles on the border, he was such a strange and maniacal man.

It was a good thing, though, because the more Perseus wanted to get back to where he wanted to be, the faster he could get the job done.

So the settlements in the northern part of the empire would be protected by Perseus himself. This was certainly one of the most excellent pieces of news the empire could have received.

All eyes now turned to the main group. What James, Ariel, Chao and the newcomer Bai Fang would do would decide the fate of the continent.

After all, what they would be fighting would not be a normal ancient monster. Whatever it was that could bring down an entire city the second most powerful person on the entire floor was likely to challenge even Chao himself.

This meant that the foursome had to be as steady and decisive as possible, calculating every move they made tens of seconds in advance and perfecting it to the last breath.

That is... assuming they were intelligent.

After all, neither James could think intelligently in this situation, the imprisonment of the souls of the living had driven him mad.

And then there was Chao himself, the holy old Gryphon, burning with vengeance.

Ariel and Bai Fang were doing nothing but killing anyone who came their way.

They could not be said to prioritize intelligence at the moment.
