Chapter 45: Aura of Chaos
James was glowing brightly and trying to figure out what was going on with Nemesis and the other gods.
James pulled Clarent out of his stalk and suddenly leapt forward. He darted past Nemesis at incredible speed and charged at the beast.
"KUAGHHH!!!"
The monster met the attack and tried to counterattack, Nemesis and the others thought James had killed himself at that very moment, they had lost James in just 5 seconds.
But something happened that no one expected. The beast god\'s attack did no damage to James, and on the contrary, his attack literally bounced off James\' body.
At that very moment, James\' voice echoed in the area:
"COME ON DEAR NEMESIS! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? I\'M COMPLETELY UNTOUCHABLE FOR A MINUTE!!!"
When Nemesis heard these words, she started running, pulled a pair of swords from the ground and attacked the monster.
Every time the beast tried to attack Nemesis, James would step in front of it and meet the attack. It had only been ten seconds, but the beast god was already covered in blood. Almost every one of his arms had been severed.
The beast god had fallen to his knees.
"DAMN YOU! I WILL NOT LOSE TO EREBUS AGAIN! I WILL NOT LOSE TO NYX AGAIN!!!"
As these words echoed across the field, James smiled and then said, "You bastard, it\'s easy to attack the weak, start crying when you\'ve been beaten to a pulp, that\'s why you died, you loser."
None of the gods could officially believe that these words came out of his mouth, after all, James was an incredibly respectful person in their eyes.
With those words, he lifted Clarent into the air.
"Pierce."
Then he pushed Clarent into the heart of the beast god. When blood began to flow from the mouth of the beast god, the following words were spoken towards James:
"Oh young one...I won\'t be the last one. The more you go up the less help you will be able to get and the more you go up the more of us you will see. That might be an easy win for you since I have no idea why you are so powerful, the rest of us will. We shall not stop until all the Chaos-Born and Chaos-Power User dies. You will perish, I give my name on that."
When these words were finished, the light in the monster god\'s eyes began to disappear.
The monster god was dead.

James suddenly collapsed as he read the windows in front of him. The darkness in the area was completely gone and the energy in James\' body was drained.
"What\'s going on, are you alright James?" Nemesis asked, dropping to her knees and grabbing James\' head.
"I\'m fine, m\'lady, it\'s just the skill I\'m using...even moving now feels like I\'m being cut," James replied, even as he breathed he could recognise the pain in the depths of his being.
"You did very well, I mean I could have killed him myself but it would have taken a bit longer, I don\'t even know why you jumped forward..." When Nemesis uttered these words, James smiled and said, "I didn\'t want your beautiful face to be harmed," as if he couldn\'t find a reason.
This seemed to touch Nemesis\' heart, and she smiled as James patted her on the head and kissed her forehead.
"Then this is my thank you," she said as she stood up and looked towards the open passage.
James, on the other hand, tried to stand up, even if it was with difficulty, but he was unsuccessful, and after a careful look at Nemesis, he said, "Can we go to the 5th floor together, if possible? I can\'t walk."
Nemesis smiled as she heard this and then lifted James with one hand, holding him by his clothes. She carried him like a princess.
After passing through the portal, James opened his eyes on the 5th floor and saw Theseus and Datura.
When Theseus realised that it was Nemesis who was carrying James, he fell to his knees and said, "Forgive me, my lady, I did not know what had happened in my confusion."
Even if Datura didn\'t realise what was going on, she had the idea that Theseus was serving James, and if he was treating someone with respect, he should do the same.
"Get up Theseus, since when I am making you [heroes] kneel before me?" Nemesis suddenly said with a smile.
James was about to fall to the floor in embarrassment, standing there more like a baby than a princess, he could feel his ears flush red. He was just dying.
When Nemesis realised this, her smile widened and she handed James to Theseus and said, "Take him to a place where he can rest, he almost died."
Theseus, hearing this, nodded and replied, "As you command, my lady, you can trust me."
As soon as James was given to Theseus, Theseus began to carry him.
James noticed the expression on Theseus\'s face that he was not laughing, after looking deeply at his face, he said "It happens again Theseus, I swear the god if you laugh...\'"
In the area where Nemesis was, it seemed that she was trying to get information, not even those in the realm of the gods knew what was going on, after all, it was the first time that the incredibly aggressive Nemesis had shown any interest in anyone.
"You, old woman. Are you one of the worshippers of Nyx?\'"
This question would be the thing that would completely change the fifth floor.
It was as if Nemesis had met someone to whom he could completely bind his authority.
