Destroying My Own Novel

Mykel suspected that it had something to do with Elena’s power, but he couldn’t check what it was since Elena wasn’t on the [Character List] yet. The reason might be that she hadn’t been born yet, and that was the reason why Mykel wanted to wait until she came to this world.

“(Elena did you do something that prevent the power in the sword from affecting Lyneth?)” Mykel asked as he gently put his hand on Lyneth’s belly.

“(They tried to harm mother, but I prevent them from doing so. That’s all I did, father)” Elena answered. “(Father, there’s one of them that’s undeniably strong. Is he the one that you’re after, father? He’s indeed strong, but he’s no match for me)” Elena asked back.

Mykel was curious about what kind of power Elena possessed. He couldn’t defend himself from the [Caelestikinesis] skill, but Elena could even prevent that skill from harming her. Elena should be a Demi-God, a being with divine power, not only could she fight off the [Caelestikinesis] skill, but she also said that he was no match for her.

Mykel asked Lucifer if he knew about an ability that could outmatch the [Caelestikinesis] skill, but he had never heard of such a power before. Lucifer didn’t believe that Elena possessed some kind of demonic power since Mykel himself didn’t possess something like that in the first place. Elena’s power came from Mykel so that only meant what Elena possessed was either based on Mykel’s power or something Mykel gave her during Lyneth’s pregnancy.

“(It’s okay if father doesn’t believe me. I will prove it once I get out of here)” Elena said and she sounded so confident. “(Mother said I have to wait for twenty-eight days, so father has to wait until then)” Elena continued.

“Looks like I know the reason why you wanted to wait,” Luciel said.

“Yes, I want to know what she has. More importantly, it seems like she has the power to block off Hanessi’s ability to control all divinity,” Mykel replied as he nodded his head in agreement. “Since our job here is done, we should go back to Earth since I have a few unfinished businesses,” Mykel said as he looked at Jeanne and Lyneth.

“I’ll keep an eye on the sword until the day comes,” Luciel nodded with understanding.

Mykel then left and brought Jeanne, Lyneth, Angra, Spenta, and Aurea with him back to Earth.

It had been a week since that day when Lyneth held the Soul Catcher Sword. He was still thinking of the possibility to defend oneself from the [Caelestikinesis] skill. Both Mykel and Lucifer were thinking so hard but always ended up at a dead-end.

“In the end, she’s just a fetus, and she barely has any knowledge about the world,” Lucifer said as he puffed the smoke and stared at the ceiling in Mykel’s office. “But she’s really amazing since she sounded so mature when she speak. It felt like she was copying Lyneth’s and your way of speaking and thinking,” Lucifer looked at Mykel who was busy looking at the document.

Someone knocked on the door, it was Enma, and she wasn’t alone. Zherlthsh was standing behind her and then they both entered the room. Zherlthsh didn’t show any respect to Lucifer since she belonged to Mykel, not him.

“We got all the senators in our hands. Not only them, but we even have secured our place in the parliament. All the congressmen have no more power to go against us. What else do you want me and Vixelleth to do next?” Zherlthsh asked.

“If that’s the case, make all the congressman to our side with every method you can. I need you to become more powerful than the president himself. Subdue them with everything you can, and killing is out of option,” Mykel answered.

“Anyway, Nephilim came to me a week ago, and she asked me to show the Sacrificial Dagger. When I asked her, she only said that it was you who ordered her, so she took the dagger from me,” Zherlthsh said. “Are you planning to summon someone else?” Zherlthsh asked.

“She took the dagger?” Mykel asked with his eyebrows raised.

“Yes, I thought you were the one who told her to get the dagger?” Zherlthsh asked back.

“I’ll go and ask her later. Is there anything else you have to report?” Mykel replied.

“Nothing, that was all. Since you gave the order, I should get going now and complete the task,” Zherlthsh said as she walked to the door.

Enma came to give another document to Mykel and then left after she took some of the documents from Mykel’s desk.

(At Nephilim’s apartment)

Nephilim sat on her comfortable couch as she stared at Asmond and Roxanne who sat across the table in front of her. She was holding a document in her right hand, and those two were staring at it nervously since Nephilim had told them that she had found all the evidence.

“So, in there… you got the evidence that we asked for?” Roxanne asked as she pointed at the document in Nephilim’s hand.

“Hmm?” Nephilim smugged as she waved the document left and right. “Of course. Everything is inside this document. Thanks to this, I put all my colleagues in danger, and perhaps they might die from helping me gather all the evidence,” Nephilim sighed and she looked so concerned.

“What?! If that’s the case, let us the Fraternity Association protect them, and of course, you as well, Miss Evelyn!” Asmond said proudly with confidence as he pressed his hand to his chest.

“Don’t make me laugh. I’m not stupid enough to ask for someone’s protection who lost to the Guild Association and was humiliated in the friendly match,” Nephilim answered and judgingly stared back at Asmond. “I prefer if you think before you open your mouth, President of the Fraternity Association, Asmond,” Nephilim continued with a serious expression.

Asmond was speechless and slowly lowered his head in shame.

“Well, that’s none of my business. You can have a look at the information that I got,” Nephilim said as she tossed the document to the table, and then crossed her legs and arms. “You might be surprised by what you’ll see in there,” Nephilim’s expression changed, she looked restless after she recalled what she found.

Asmond took the document and opened the first page. They both were surprised when there were printed screenshots of the surveillance cameras that captured Mykel’s battle with Zherlthsh. It was blurry, but it was enough since they could tell it was Mykel based on the suit and how he didn’t hold any weapon.

They both were surprised and covered their mouths. They couldn’t tell the Demon’s appearance at all except her big demon wings and whip that she held.

Asmond flipped to the second page, and there was a photo of a dagger with dried blood on it. They both looked at it and didn’t know what it was until they read the information about the dagger. It was the dagger that an Awakener got from the tower, and it was said the dagger held a demonic power and it also could summon a demon by sacrificing lives.

Both of them almost threw up when they saw what those Demonic Cult members did in the basement. There were photos of the crime scene, and they couldn’t look at it for a second time and immediately turned the page.

“I believe that was the beginning, the ritual to call that demon on the first page,” Nephilim said. “You speculated that Mykel didn’t kill that demon, and I found that speculation is true,” Nephilim pointed at the document in Asmond’s hand.

Asmond flipped the page and found another crime scene where a crater was filled with skeletons. Nephilim believed those skeletons belonged to the victims of the Demonic Cults that killed hundreds of Awakeners.

“There’s no way those Demonic Cult members will make a move if their master is dead, right?” Roxanne looked at Asmond with a worried expression because the more truth was revealed, the more anxious she became. “I know that it was just our speculation and I was hoping that it was untrue, but after knowing it’s the truth is…” Roxanne looked away and couldn’t continue her sentence.

“You should be worried once you read all the information, not in between,” Nephilim said but she sounded like she was giving Roxanne a warning.

Asmond turned the pages and found another crime scene that was similar to the previous one.

“With all the evidence that I have collected… there were at least three summoning rituals. After I thought about it and looked for more information about those demons they summoned. I realized that there are two women whose background doesn’t exist who always stood next to Mykel,” Nephilim sat straight and looked at both of them.

“Wait… don’t tell me… they’re Senator Vixen and Senator Zeta?” Roxanne asked in a trembling voice. “And the third one is…” Roxanne continued.

“I can’t prove it even with my brain or connection, but based on what you said back then, Miss Roxanne. The one who can confirm that information is Mister Asmond himself, isn’t that right?” Nephilim asked as she glanced at Asmond.

Asmond looked at his hands and then looked at Roxanne. “My Nemesis skill can tell,”
