Destroying My Own Novel

Mykel and Elena arrived at District 13 where all the people are trying to evacuate. Thankfully, when they heard the news that Mykel himself would defend District 13, they became at ease. The evacuation became smooth and all the people who lived near the tower had been evacuated.

Elena looked at the giant walls that surrounded the tower with advanced weapons on top of it. Soldiers were standing by with weapons ready in their hands. Their priority was to deal with the demons that had breached the walls since Mykel was there.

“Sir Mykel! I’m glad when I heard you’re going to deal with the demons in District Thirteen. I’m Major Carlson, and we have four hundred soldiers on the wall,” Carlson said as he shook Mykel’s hand.

“Good work, but the soldier’s safety is also a priority. I’ll take care of the ones that are going to breach the wall. I’ll let her handle the demons,” Mykel looked at Elena who stood next to him.

Carlson looked at Elena and he was curious why a teenager like her would be there with nothing on her. He wanted to ask, but it was none of his business because Mykel brought her there.

“If that’s the case, then I’ll let my men know,” Carlson answered as he nodded with understanding. “I’ll be protecting the North gate if you need me, Sir Mykel,” Carlson continued as he checked the safety of his rifle.

Elena was curious about the rifle in Carlson’s hand. She didn’t know what it was, so she wanted to touch it, but Mykel said to behave.

Carlson and his men behind him went inside the wall and commanded all his men to be in position. Mykel and Elena were waiting outside the wall since they still had half an hour before the breakout started.

“Are you nervous?” Mykel asked as he stroked Elena’s head.

“Yes! I’m scared that you might be disappointed in me if I didn’t meet your expectations,” Elena answered.

“I would never ask you to do anything that you don’t want to do. I’m not going to judge you, and I’m not going to turn you into someone that you don’t want to be. Whatever you do and what you want to do, I’ll be there and support you,” Mykel answered as he tucked her hair behind her ears.

​ “I love you, father,” Elena said with a huge smile on her face.

“Me too. Anyway, let’s get inside so you can see the battlefield you’re going to be in soon,” Mykel said as he walked to the gate.

Elena looked at the inside of the wall and it looked like a fortress with holes on the wall. Gatling guns were bolted with thousands of rounds on each one of them. She wanted to try to use it after Mykel told her what it was.

“Three minutes left, let’s get closer to the tower,” Mykel said as he lit the cigarette.

Elena followed Mykel from behind and clenched her fists in excitement. Suddenly the sirens could be heard from outside the wall, which was a sign that the demons were about to come.

Mykel’s team handled the rest of the towers on their own since it should be an easy task for them. Rozan handled District 6, Gunnar handled District 7, Lillith handled District 8, Sven handled District 9, Nagy handled District 10, Gerrard handled District 11, Vincze handled District 12, and lastly, Edith handled District 13.

The atmosphere became heavy around the tower. It was a sign that the demons had arrived and were currently inside the tower. Elena stretched her arms and legs just like what she saw in Mykel’s memories when he was doing a warm-up.

“It’s time, I’ll leave you be,” Mykel said as he walked away.

“Father…” Elena turned around. “Can you stay by my side? I’m nervous,” Elena chuckled nervously.

Mykel raised his eyebrows, but then chucked softly as he approached her.

“Alright, I’ll stay here until you feel confident about yourself. You don’t have to worry, I don’t think anyone can hurt you,” Mykel stroked her head gently.

The gate slowly opened and the demons started to walk down the stairs. Mykel looked at those demons and they all looked like angels rather than demons. Those demons were supposed to be guarding the ninetieth floor and above. They could be called Lucifer’s personal army that was created to hunt Empyreanian.

“Lucifer’s adolescents, the angels,” Mykel said as he looked at the armored angels with white or black feather wings. They were holding either a sword and shield or a spear and shield.

“(I never thought Luciel would be this excited and sending them down here. But I guess Elena can easily beat them to a pulp)” Lucifer said.

The angels spread their wings and started to fly away, but the soldiers immediately showered them with bullets. Those angels no matter how thick their bodies were, bullets were enough to send them back down.

“That’s cheating!” Elena shouted.

Elena clenched her fists and immediately ran toward the tower’s gate to prevent those angels from flying away. She took a giant leap and kneed the angel who was three times her size. She crushed the thick armor and crushed the angel’s chest and sent the angel down to the ground.

She punched the angel in the face so hard that it exploded the head. She was surprised by how powerful her punch was, and it gave her a boost to her confidence. She then looked at the angels in front of her who were flying toward her with their spears and swords pointing at her.

She dodged all the attacks and ripped their arms off when she pulled them. She kicked them and cut their bodies in half. She punched their chests and blew their chests off.

Mykel observed Elena’s strength which gradually became more lethal and stronger. Her movements started to look natural, and she started to see the world around her moving so slowly. She started to understand the power she possessed and started to utilize it.

“(You’re messing with me… Those angels are immortal, but she sucked all their life force just by touching them?)” Lucifer couldn’t believe how easy it was to kill them. With that being said, if Elena could easily kill those angels, the Gods would meet the same fate if she decided to fight them.

“(When you went for smoke back then. I sparred with her, and she broke my forearm without even trying. It’s exactly as you said, her Quintekinesis skill can neutralize or even dispel the enemy’s power with it. She doesn’t even need any other skill and she’s already invincible)” Mykel replied as he watched Elena slaughter the angels with her punches and kicks.

The soldiers emptied their magazines just to stop one angel from leaving. They were terrified by Elena that her punch and kick were enough to kill them.

“Sir, who’s that girl?” The soldier asked Carlson.

“Don’t ask me. Sir Mykel stared at me when I was staring at her, so I didn’t dare to ask,” Carlson answered. “Whoever she is, I’m glad that Sir Mykel brought her here because District Thirteen is safe,” Carlson continued.

It hadn’t even been ten minutes since the breakout started, but Elena had already killed every single one of the angels. Not only could she use her [Quintekinesis] skill to its fullest potential, she had gained passive basic skills. She also could fly by manipulating her own life force, and started to realize that she could do more than just fly.

“I’m proud of you, Elena,” Mykel said as he stood in front of the gate and looked at Elena standing in the middle of the endless hallway.

“I thought it would be hard, but these demons are so weak. Their movements are so easy to read and predict unlike when I’m fighting you, father,” Elena said as she walked over the dead bodies of the angels without even showing any emotion.

Mykel judgingly stared at Elena and he didn’t want her to turn into a cold-blooded killing machine. He didn’t want to raise a psychopath, and he wanted her to have emotion, sympathy, and sentiment toward others.

He never thought it was a bad thing until he looked at his own daughter like that.

“Elena, how do you feel when you kill these demons?” Mykel asked.

“Fun and exciting! But I’m also disappointed,” Elena said as she turned around to look at the dead bodies. “I thought it was fun until I found out they’re weak,” Elena sighed. “You’re mad,” Elena frowned as she looked Mykel in the eye.

It was because of her [Special Bond] skill that made her feel what Mykel felt.

“I’m not mad, I’m just concerned,” Mykel smiled as he offered his hand to Elena.

“Concern?” Elena held Mykel’s hand and walked next to him.

“I don’t want you to kill for fun. You need a reason to take someone’s life. It can be anything, but not for fun,” Mykel said as he walked down the stairs. “I have killed many lives, thousands of them, but even so, I did it for a reason. If you want to have fun, don’t kill them, that’s it,” Mykel continued.

“I understand. I’ll keep that in mind, and because I don’t want father to be mad at me,” Elena said with a smile.

“Alright, let’s visit the other towers, shall we?” Mykel asked.

“Hmm! We shall!” Elena nodded and hummed.
