Destroying My Own Novel

“They really cleared all the towers up to the ninetieth floor in just two months…” Roxanne looked at the notification in front of her. “I never knew the Guild Association is famous among the Awakeners from other worlds,” Roxanne looked at the people laughing and enjoying their stay inside the Babel Tower as if it was their own home.

“They’re all either a fugitive, homeless, a loner, or people who are sick living in their own world. Some of these people have a screw loose inside their heads and they prefer to live in hell rather than in their own world,” Rufus said as he looked at Asmond who was busy talking with those people.

The inside of Babel Tower wasn’t hot compared to the outside, and there were so many spaces for everyone. They turned the Babel Tower into a big apartment where people could grow their own food from seeds and plant them. They even brought livestock and bred them there like a farmer.

“No, they’re here so they can climb that tower,” Glen pointed at the ceiling as he held a canned bean in his hand. “There’s a rumor going on around here that whoever reached the top of the tower, you can see the heaven. They said it’s common sense that if hell exists, then heaven exists as well, and both are connected to each other,” Glen explained as he opened the can.

That rumor was what drove people to enter the Lucifer Tower and go to Gehenna. More and more people came to Gehenna from different worlds. Worlds that were saved from the other towers that Mykel’s team had cleared. They were waiting for the Guild Association to clear the Babel Tower for them and hoped they could live in heaven than suffer in their own world.

“What a good-for-nothing these people are. Do they think it would be that easy to reach the top? They’re just a parasite that leeches on people and enjoys the reward like they’re the one who does it,” Roxanne looked at those people and she hated them.

“Running away from responsibility as Awakeners and don’t care about the breakout. They’re indeed trash,” Glen said with a mouthful of beans in his mouth as he nodded his head in agreement. “We are getting close to the ground floor, should we go now or we rest here for the day?” Glen asked Roxanne.

They had been wasting a whole month walking inside the Babel Tower, and they wanted to level up on the bottom floor where the real Gehenna was. The longer they wasted their time there, the more Mykel would take over Earth, and they didn’t want that.

“You should ask Asmond about that. Can you go and ask him, Rufus?” Roxanne looked at Rufus who was bored by doing nothing.

“Sure, I’ll persuade him instead of asking,” Rufus got up and walked past Roxanne.

“Thank you,” Roxanne said.

“No problem,” Rufus nodded his head.

The two of them had gotten much closer, and they looked compatible with each other in the other’s eyes. If those two had been like that from the start, maybe things would have been much better and easier for them, but there was no time to regret it. They were happy enough that those two had makeup and worked together as a team.

“By the way, Enma. Are you really okay to be here? Don’t you want to see Gunnar?” Silas looked at Enma who was daydreaming and blankly stared at the black marble floor.

“I do want to see him, but I don’t think I would be safe if I stay near him. With those Demon Princesses who killed me, I prefer to stay away from Earth,” Enma answered with a forced smile.

“This is it, time for work again…” Rozan sighed as he looked at the Abaddon Tower.

“What with the long face?” Sven wrapped his arm around Rozan’s neck.

“This is my least favorite tower compared to the others. Magic immunity is a pain in the ass for me,” Rozan scratched his head as he was being forced to walk into the tower by Sven.

“It’s quite the opposite for me. I love this one because they’re strong demons. I want to fight the whole army like last time!” Sven clenched his fist and put it in front of his face. “You can just stay in the back with Miss Edith. You can waste your time exploring the area if you want while we are going to deal with Frigna and Demon King Abaddon,” Sven said as he patted Rozan on the back.

“Without my brain, what can you guys do?” Rozan asked with his eyebrow raised. “You’re going to need my brain to solve problems,” Rozan continued.

Lillith kicked him from behind and made him stumble on his own foot then fell to the ground with his face first.

“You don’t have to come if you don’t want to. We have more powerful trump cards on our hands. Just go and play with your little pets and rocks that you collected,” Lillith said and she looked really pissed.

“Oh, you’re so dead…” Rozan stood up and pointed his staff at Lillith, but then he couldn’t move his body at all.

Lillith used her [Sentient Control] and took over Rozan’s body. She then controlled him and her own body at the same time like it was nothing. She was chuckling as she put all her stuff and made him carry them for her.

“Now, be a good boy because you’re my pet now,” Lillith smirked as she stretched her body.

Sven and the boys were staring at each other with cold sweat dripping from their foreheads. They realized how scary Lillith’s power was, and they didn’t want to be on her bad side. Especially Sven who had experienced beforehand how heartless she was.

They entered the ninety-first floor and looked at the beautiful yet eerie castle that was carved from the mountain. Layers of walls were surrounding the castle and there were houses with unique designs.

“Ah, I remember coming here when I was younger,” Aurea said as she looked at the castle. “Frigna is such a class when it comes to style and art,” Aurea continued.

They all entered the small kingdom that Frigna made on the highest tower of Abaddon. They were wondering why there weren’t any demons around, and Rozan already had a bad feeling about it. They didn’t know that the army that Demon King Abaddon sent to Earth on the previous breakout was his last army. He didn’t have a single army anymore, or to be exact, there weren’t any strong demons left.

“That’s a bummer,” Sven said as he looked around.

“Oh, don’t worry too much,” Frigna slowly sat down and folded her legs. “I’m going to be your opponent anyway, but how about we make it more fun,” Frigna smiled as her skeleton wings started to expand and slowly wrapped the area around her. “If you mind, can you two stay away from this fight?” Frigna looked at Jeanne and Aurea.

Jeanne and Aurea slowly walked to the side, away from the others.

“Now come at me with everything you got. I’ll let you try to break my defense,” Frigna said with confidence.

Sven scoffed and immediately used everything since he had been wanting to try to break something that his power couldn’t. When he was in range and about to swing his scythe at Frigna’s skeleton wings, a bone tail suddenly appeared from behind Frigna’s back. The tail pierced through his chest and slowly lifted his body up with his blood slowly coating the bone tail with it.

“I did say to try to break my defense, but I didn’t say that I won’t attack you though,” Frigna giggled mischievously as she grinned at Sven. She then threw Sven so far away. “Now, who’s next?” Frigna asked as she moved her tail left and right.
