Ravan made him shout orders to Pope Cole and Paladin Patrik to help God Cassius fight the Lich, however, while those two could withstand the Lich\'s aura and still move freely under it, the closer Rocky got to the Lich, the more his body protested.

His muscles trembled, his breathing became ragged and his heart felt as if it was on the verge of exploding.

The closer he got to the Lich, the more severe these symptoms became as while the artifact around his neck, that he got from the snake-men ancestral chamber helped neutralize the paralysis effects caused by a gods fear, allowing Rocky to move, it could not neutralize the suffocating suppression that Rocky felt under it.

"You\'re moving too slow, you need to keep up with me…. The undead around these parts are not opponents you can take lightly, one mistake and you\'re dead" Ravan said, as he tried to remind Rocky of the importance of keeping up with him, especially on a difficult battlefield like this one.

Rocky\'s movements had become too sluggish the closer the two came to the Lich and that was proving to be a real problem.

"I\'ll die, Lord Ravan…. I can barely grip my sword at this point, I\'m unsure if I can go any further" Rocky said, being well aware of his own limits.

His own stamina had long hit rock bottom and although he had not sustained any major injury in this war yet, thanks to Lord Ravan guiding him, he was undeniably way past his physical best.

"Listen to me Rocky, I\'ll tell this to you one time and one time only-" Ravan said, in a tone that sounded like the one his father would use while imparting profound knowledge to him.

"In life, you will often find yourself at your limits.

Moments where the rational side of your brain would say that you need to stop! That taking any more risk can lead to you losing it all.

However, these are the exact moments where you must NOT stop, as these are those rare moments, where you have shot at defying the norm and becoming a legend.

Maybe you will fail…. Maybe you will die. But even in death you will be immortalized if you died trying to achieve the impossible.

Becoming a True God is not for everyone. You need to have talent, you need to have luck and you need to have guts to achieve the impossible.

It\'s not the act of the Lich dying that\'s legendary.

If Cassius there kills the Lich, nobody is going to remember it as a legend, because people expect him to accomplish it. That\'s what you all hired him for-

However, if you, a climber that has not even crossed floor 10 can kill a Lich, a feat so unbelievable that it would make people lose their minds, then that will become YOUR legend.

Regardless of whether or not you live to become a True God someday, that legend you leave behind will be immortal.

And while nobody here understands the path beyond floor 80 into floor 90, let me tell you a secret.....

One of the criteria of becoming a True God is to have enough believers.

Believers that can only be accumulated through your legend.

You\'re still young, so I\'m going to let the hesitation I see on your face slide once. However, this is your chance to make-up your mind on just how far you wish to go?

If you decide that you want to walk on the path of reaching the tower\'s summit, the 101st floor someday, then you must show courage from day one and push past your limits.

So choose now boy…..

Do you want to become the hero of earth? The cautious crybaby? Or a man on the path to become a True God?" Ravan said as he gave Rocky the chance to decide his future.

For a split-second, Rocky hesitated. He did want to become a True God someday, of course he did!

Just like every other climber that ever entered the first floor of the tower, Rocky too wished to someday reach its summit, however, for a moment he could come to terms with the kind of insanity it required on his part to achieve that dream.

What Ravan was asking of him, was not something any sane man would agree to.

However, if it was cautionless foolhardiness that could perhaps set him on the path to becoming a True God someday, then Rocky was ready to walk down that path as well.

With a determined gaze, Rocky nodded towards Ravan, signaling his intent to continue as he forced his trembling body to charge towards the Lich and join the fight against the terrifying leader of the undead forces alongside God Cassius, Pope Cole and Paladin Patrik.

From the very first attack that he unleashed that could not even scratch the Lich\'s protective veil, Rocky knew that he was far outside his league as while Pope Cole and Paladin Patrik unleashed attacks that could destroy entire mountains, Rocky could barely produce attacks strong enough to slice through boulders.

When not even Pope Cole or Paladin Patrik with their considerably stronger attacks could hurt the Lich, Rocky knew that it was just wishful thinking on his part that he would, however, since God Ravan demonstrated him to fight a certain way, Rocky put his faith in him and tried his best to imitate.

"Get down! Move to the side, I\'m ready with my attack spell-" Cassius warned as Pope Cole tackled Rocky and pushed him to a side, while Paladin Patrik crunched on the ground below and raised his shield for protection.

"Get up- this precisely is your chance-" Rocky heard Ravan scream from the side, as planting both his swords into the ground below, Rocky staggered back to his feet.
