It had been almost twenty minutes since the duo entered the mountain path. So far, they had not encountered any monsters, and they were travelling relaxed yet alertly.
Climbing 7,000 metres would not have taken that long because the mountain was not just vertical; it was a spiral, as if someone had pulled the mountain from the earth and raised it to the sky.
So the duo of James and Nemesis continued on the path through the mountain, sometimes zigzagging and often circling.
"Are you all right, Neme?" James said suddenly, already worried about Nemesis turning back halfway up.
"Not really, thanks to the ring I got from my mum I can hold on a little, but the dark magic is really strong, it makes me nauseous and dizzy," Nemesis replied.
Many gods and goddesses had the ability to protect their minds at higher levels, but Nemesis still did not have one of these abilities.
