199 Chapter 198: Exiled.
“What’s happening down there?!” Gunnar asked when he saw hundreds of bolts of lightning that struck the city and destroyed everything into pieces. Not only that, the wind was so strong that he had to lean his body forward so he could walk forward. “This is too much! Is Shelly the one who’s doing this?!”
“I don’t think it’s her,” Gerrard answered as he looked in the distance and saw whirlpools and tornados on the sea. “I think it’s him,” Gerrard continued as he saw the sea was ravaging and washed up all the demons away.
“That would explain a lot about what’s going on right now,” Agnez said as she walked out of the temple. “Wait, that’s Shelly, right? Then that means Mykel is really the one who’s doing all this,” Agnez continued as she pointed at the edge of the cliff.
They slowly and carefully walked to where Shelly was, and then they saw Shelly sitting with her legs crossed and eyes closed. No matter how hard Agnez shook Shelly’s body, she wouldn’t wake up.
“Something is wrong with her,” Agnez said, but then the wind stopped. “Hmm? Something is coming,” Agnez said as he looked at the sky above her.
Mykel landed in front of Shelly’s body and everyone was staring at him with a surprised look when they saw Shelly’s consciousness come out from his body. They watched Shelly’s consciousness go back to her body and then she opened her eyes so slowly.
“That was a bliss…” Shelly said as she tried to reimagine and feel the overwhelming power that she just experienced. “I want to experience it again, there are a lot of things that I want to try,” Shelly looked up at Mykel.
“Someday, but not today because we are done here,” Mykel replied as he looked at the portal on the sea. “Get some more rest, we are leaving in the morning,”
The morning came and everyone boarded the ship while Shelly was still in the city to get something. They waited for her for half an hour until she came from the sky and landed on the ship with so many energy stones in the bag.
“Alright, let’s move,” Agnez said as he looked at Rozan who held the wheel.
“So, what are we going to deal with on the nineteenth floor?” Jeanne looked at Shelly who was busy checking the energy stones.
“I have no idea, but if this is where we are going, then there’s an island where the exiled are,” Shelly answered as she looked at the portal. “The last time I went there, the whole place is a mess, people are killing each other and the strongest will rule over the others,” Shelly walked to the front and put the energy stones in all eight rings that she wore.
“Do you think there are survivors on that island?” Agnez asked as she stood next to Shelly.
“You said in the previous world that the demons could control the humans using the water, then there’s a high possibility something like that might have happened on that island,” Shelly answered and looked at Agnez.
“How strong were those exiled people?” Gunnar asked.
“There were a few names who excelled in both magic and combat, you could say they were tyranny who tried to take over the Leowa from me. It was quite a mess back then, but who knows if they’re still alive or not because it happened fifty years before the Azrael Tower appeared,”
“The only way to find out is by going to the next floor,” Agnez said as she looked at Rozan. “Can you make this ship move faster?” Agnez raised her eyebrow.
Rozan sighed and used more powerful magic to push the ship.
The moment they entered the nineteenth floor, the sea was so calm, and the worst part was the thick fog and the cold wind that struck their faces. They couldn’t see anything twenty meters away from the front of the cabin, but with Shelly on the ship, she removed the mist and could see the island in the distance.
“That island looks creepy,” Sven said as he saw a tower in the middle of the island that went all the way up into the sky.
“That’s new, I never saw that tower before,” Shelly said as she squinted her eyes.
“When was the last time you went there?” Jeanne asked.
“The moment I sent those tyranny people to the island,” Shelly answered.
“Then I guess they made their own empire on that island,” Jeanne replied as she stared at the black tower that was made with black stone.
They put the anchor down after Gunnar and the others put a new one on the ship once they dock in the old harbor. They jumped down from the ship and looked around to see so many shipwrecks around them.
“Alright, let’s split up and kill everything that breath. There’s no reason to talk with them because they’re no longer a human if they survived when the rest died because of the demons,” Mykel said as he looked at the small road toward the forest.
Mykel and Shelly flew away using wind magic, Rozan looked at them and decided to do the same thing. The three of them went directly to the tower while the others had to go on foot and went their own separate way to hunt anything that live on the island.
When they were about to reach the tower, a fireball flew toward them so quickly but Shelly blew it up before it hit them. She stopped and squinted her eyes as she looked down, a man with long black hair and red eyes wearing a black fur coat was staring at them with a smirk on his face.
“Rafael, so you’re still alive,” Shelly said.
“You want to handle him?” Mykel asked.
Rafael created a fireball on each of his fingers, he then clenched his fists to combine ten fireballs into two big ones. He opened his hands and clapped them together, the fireballs clashed with each other and it bursted a blazing flame toward them.
Shelly only used her index finger and created the same amount of blazing flame. The two blazing flames clashed with each other but Shelly’s magic was stronger than Rafael’s and immediately swallowed him into the fire.
“I just did,” Shelly answered as she stared at Rafael’s body drowned in flame, but then Rafael walked away as if nothing happened. “Hmm, that should have killed him,” Shelly squinted her eyes.
“Then you’re wrong,” Mykel replied. “You can tell that he has become a demon’s servant,” Mykel looked at Rafael’s body was covered in water.
“You’re right. I guess there’s no reason to hold back now,” Shelly said as she flew down to deal with Rafael.
Mykel looked at something in front of him and then he pulled Rozan to the front forcefully. Rozan was startled and then saw ice bolts and lightning bolts coming toward them, he put a wind and water barrier in front of him immediately.
“Go and deal with them, maybe Shelly will consider you to be her student,” Mykel said from behind.
“Alright! Leave it to me!” Rozan replied as he repelled the magic.
Mykel looked at the top of the tower and then flew with the speed of sound.
Mykel broke the wall and entered the room on top of the tower, he saw three men in the room with him who were hidden behind the shadow. One was sitting on the chair while the other two stood behind him, they all stared at Mykel with unamused expressions.
Mykel looked at the two men and tore them apart with [Telekinesis] before they could even do anything.
“You have something that I need, give it to me,” Mykel said as he walked toward the man.
