Destroying My Own Novel

“Can you not say his name?” Beldathiel asked as she sat up and leaned on the sofa while she brushed her hair away from her face. “You know for a demon to be called out like that, we can hear you the moment you called our names,” Beldathiel said and then blew her hair away from her mouth.

Everyone looked at Beldathiel and Mykel back and forth, they all looked a bit worried when they knew about that.

“Is that really a problem? What can he do? Come all the way down here?” Mykel asked with his eyebrows raised.

The moment Mykel said that a strong wind came from came in and banged the doors wide open. The wind blew off all the candles and it was a chilling wind that struck right into the bone. It made Gunnar and the others except for Jeanne and Agnez group up and stared at the door. They were scared to see something come in from the hall like in a horror movie.

“Something like that,” Beldathiel answered and stared at Mykel with a serious expression because she really didn’t like it when Lucifer’s name was mentioned. “You need to stop using his name,”

“Alright, I’m not going to use his name, what should I call him then?” Mykel asked.

“Anything else but his name,” Beldathiel answered.

Zherlthsh lit all the candles with a snap, and then everything went back to normal again, but not the atmosphere since it became eerie.

“Let me introduce these demon princesses to you all of you properly and who they really are,” Mykel said.

Zherlthsh and Vixelleth walked to the desk and stood right behind Mykel’s chair with their hand holding the chair headrest. Agnez looked at them and decided to join them then turned herself into Mazikeen while Beldathiel looked at them from the distance and didn’t bother to move a muscle.

“You know her as Zeth, but she’s Zherlthsh and the daughter of Azazel. The Demon of flame,” Mykel pointed his left thumb at Zherlthsh. “Vix or Vixelleth, she’s the daughter of Azrael. The Demon of water,” Mykel pointed his right thumb at Vixelleth. “Mazikeen, the daughter of Behemoth. The Demon of Chaos,” Mykel looked at Mazikeen. “That woman over there is Beldathiel, the daughter of Belphegor. The Demon of Sloth,” Mykel nodded up at Beldathiel.

Mykel stood up and walked to the front of his desk, and then leaned on it.

“Right now, these four are helping me to take him down,” Mykel said as he looked at Gunnar and the others. “I’m going to say this right now that I’m not planning to annihilate the demons,” Mykel continued with his arms crossed.

“Wait, what? Why?” Rozan looked at Mykel with a perplexed look on his face.

“Demons are not immortal, you can kill them but as I said a long time ago that demons can be back to life again. That’s the reason why demon lords on all the tenth floors are always back whenever we cleared it,” Mykel answered. “So, why bother to kill a demon that we can’t even kill? Why not take care of the one who orders them to invade our world or the other worlds?” Mykel asked back and looked at Rozan.

Rozan and Lillith accepted Mykel’s reasoning while the rest of them were still unsure about it and thought that wasn’t the right thing to do except for Edith.

Mykel heard voices in his mind and then scoffed while smirking. “It seems like there are people who want to join us as well,” Mykel said as he activated [Constellation] skill.

Ten figures appeared right next to Mykel and they all came down with different styles. Hera appeared from beneath her white and gold dress. Loki and Hel appeared from black mist. Apollo, Artemis, and Athena appeared from bright light. Dionysus appeared from a wave of wine. Keres appeared from thousands of black feathers that turned into wings. Aphrodite and Hedone appeared from flower petals that came out of nowhere.

Everyone was overwhelmed and bewildered by their presence, they had no idea who those people were and why they looked so powerful.

“Gods…” Vixelleth glared at them with hatred and clenched her fists.

Zherlthsh, Vixelleth, and Mazikeen immediately grabbed their weapons and flew right toward them. Keres glanced at them and immediately spread her wings to cover all the Gods from those three.

Keres’ wings weren’t as strong as Mazikeen’s, but her dual swords were enough to handle the three of them at once. She lowered her wings and surprised them with her swords, she blocked their attacks with her swords as she smirked and stared at them.

“All of you are too young to fight against us,” Keres said as she threw the three of them onto the wall with her swords.

Beldathiel grabbed her dice and was ready to throw it down to the floor, but then Mykel used his [Judgement] skill. Everyone was weakened by the [Judgement] Aura and started to tremble in fear because [Judgement] skill was the result of many skills and that included [Tyrannize].

“Behave, all of you,” Mykel said calmly.

Hera and Loki stared at Mykel in disbelief that he could immobilize them so easily. They both then smiled and chuckled while they were on their knees because they were amazed by how strong he became in a very short time.

Beldathiel stared at the dice that rolled over on the ground and it was a small number. She was curious but nothing happened even though she chose a small number, she then looked at Mykel who stared at her dice and then smiled at her.

Mykel deactivated [Judgement] and everyone finally could breathe easily again. Keres stood up and stared at the three of them while she sheathed her swords. The three of them put their weapons back and lowered their wings to show their vulnerability.

“Don’t worry, we serve the same man,” Hera said as she looked at Beldathiel from the corner of her eyes.

Beldathiel raised her eyebrows and then put the dice away and laid down on the sofa again.

“The people you’re seeing in front of you, they’re all your Benefactors,” Mykel said with his hands in his pockets. “Hera, Loki, Hel, Aphrodite, Athena, Apollo, Keres, Dionysus, Hedone, and Artemis,” Mykel pointed at them one by one.

Gunnar and the others stood up and stared at them in awe with their mouth and eye wide open.

“Don’t mind us, we are here just to listen and we are quite curious about what’s he going to say as well,” Hera said as she walked to the other side of the room with the others and then sat down on the sofa.

“Where was I?” Mykel asked as he sighed. “Right, I was talking about not annihilating the demons,” Mykel continued as he walked back to his seat.

“Do you know no matter how many times we killed all the Demon Lords and Demon Kings, they will keep invading all the worlds that exist,” Mykel said as he sat down. “So, my plan is to take control over the demons after we defeat him and let these demon princesses be my eyes and ears in the demon world,”
