MTLNOVEL Chapter 280: Strength Brings Weakness
James smiled as he carefully checked his profile and when he closed it, another system window opened in front of him:
[User has exceeded 1000 Intelligence status points. The user's body has begun to suffer due to the size of his brain capacity!
The user will lose an extra day of life every day! It is recommended to take a god extract or raise your Endurance stat by at least 100 as soon as possible!
The user's mana has been permanently increased by one and a half times as the user has surpassed 1000 Intelligence stat points.
The user's mana regeneration rate has increased by 250% since the user passed 1000 Intelligence stat points].
When James read the latest system notifications, he turned to Nemesis next to him and asked, "Hey Neme...Do you know where I can get a god extract?"
Nemesis was as surprised to hear this question as everyone else watching them, not expecting such a question from her husband James.
"There should be some in Olympus. It's quite expensive, a small bottle is worth 300,000,000 gold coins," Nemesis replied.
Immediately after these words, James received a message from Nyx:
[God essence is not something you need right now. Is there a problem?]
James immediately shook his head up and down at this question from Nyx and then said, "I received a notification that an extra day of my life will be taken away from me every day because my Intelligence stat has exceeded 1000 points. I will either use god essence or increase my Endurance stat, but that is not possible right now."
Nemesis and the others watched James with their eyes wide open, not knowing what to say when they heard these words.
"Is your Intelligence stat...over 1,000 points? Could you be seeing it wrong?" Nemesis questioned and James shook his head and replied, "No, I have exactly 1084 status points."
Nemesis didn't know what to say, she was so proud of her husband that there was no way she could explain it. Continue reading on My Virtual Library Empire
"You do realize that's on the level of a god, right? My power stat is almost 6700 and that's only because I'm a Chaos-Born, my body is innately strong and mighty, if I was not a Chaos-Born it would not be like this. You're a... human, you know what I mean? If you break 1000 points, that means you've already reached the lowest level of gods and goddesses." Nemesis said.
It was quite usual for James to decide not to say that he had already reached that rank after those words. After all, he didn't want to make anyone faint with surprise.
"I mean...my other statuses aren't far behind," James muttered and stood up, not expecting anything.
James might have been one of the fastest-evolved people in the history of the tower, there was no telling if there was anyone below the 75th floor who could hurt him right now.
"Alright...if you don't have enough gold, I can go and buy it for you, I'm sure there will be someone who will sell the god extract," Nemesis said hearing this, James quickly logged into his profile and sent Nemesis the necessary money.
"You are quite rich," Nemesis said with a smile.
"I mean I still have close to 600,000,000 in gold." replied James and with that Nemesis got up from where she was and kissed and hugged her husband James one more time and then she said, "Then I am going back, I will ask Uncle Ra to bring you the god extract, the next time you see me I will come back with a big gift."
With those words, Nemesis backed out of the opened portal, leaving only James, Ariel and Theseus. Sophia was already inside James' jacket and Ruby was back in the inventory, taking Miracle with her.
James suddenly stood up and turned to Ariel and asked, "Do you want to keep going?"
Ariel smiled and said, "I'm already ready, I was waiting for you to wake up, but...aren't you going to say goodbye to the others?"
After a small chuckle, James replied, "Normally I would, but we can come back here anyway, anytime we want, right now we need to focus on getting to the 40th floor."
With those words, Ariel got up from where she was and kissed Theseus eagerly before saying, "Let's go."
Before Theseus even managed to come to himself, James and Ariel had entered the passageway leading to the balcony and disappeared.
Blinking only once, James and Ariel realized that they were in a room of ice.
The vapour that they both released with each breath was visible to the naked eye.
[James] Kill the Boss Monster!
Find the 38th Floor's Ice King inside the massive ice palace you are in and introduce him to his demise.
Mission Duration: 3 Days]
James and Ariel looked at each other as the system mission statement suddenly appeared in front of them, and then they started to move.
As soon as they left the room they were in, they encountered several ice soldiers. More precisely, they encountered skeleton soldiers armed with ice armour and weapons.
Without James even having to move, Ariel rushed forward and in a few moves dismembered seven skeleton soldiers.
As soon as the room glowed slightly, a chest formed in the centre of the room.
As James cautiously approached the chest, he began to suspect that it was a mimic. This was precisely why he made sure to keep the Godly Sword Lumen at the ready.
However, nothing happened as he expected.
When the chest opened on its own, a key came out of it, and when James picked it up, a system notification appeared in front of both him and Ariel:
[Main Boss Monster Bounty Chest Lock(Legendary+++++)
This key is one of the 6 keys to unlock the large chest that will be revealed when the Ice King is slain. The first of five keys that can be earned in five different rooms, after five different enemy types and difficulties. The sixth key will be given when the Ice King is slain.
Each key can be used to open the chest directly, but the more keys that enter the holes in the chest, the bigger the reward].
James and Ariel turned to each other as they read this notification and then the following words were heard:
"Well, it's time to kill them all."
