Destroying My Own Novel

“That woman is Mykel’s daughter? What?!” Roxanne stared at Elena in disbelief. “How can she be this big even though she was just born a few months ago?!” Roxanne asked and looked at Enma, wanting a reasonable answer.

“I only heard from Miss Edith and Jeanne that Miss Lyneth was dying when she was conceiving Elena. They said that Mykel had to use everything he got to protect Lyneth from dying because Elena was sucking her life force and energy,” Enma answered. “When she was born, she was already a Demi-God, and said to be the strongest Demi-God that exists in the universe,” Enma continued.

“So you’re telling us that she can change her appearance and body as she wishes? Is that why she’s now a grown woman?” Roxanne asked.

“Yes, and her power is to be able to manipulate her own life energy and force. She can grow older and younger as she pleased, and she can grow stronger and weaker as well. I heard she single-handedly killed all the angels that reside on the ninetieth floor in the Lucifer Tower during the breakout,” Enma replied as she looked at Elena.

Asmond looked at Elena and thought what if he used Elena to fight Mykel? He thought that it would be possible since he believed Elena wasn’t as strong as Mykel. Maybe he could do a similar thing as what Mykel did to Jeanne. Suddenly a hand was covering Asmond’s face, and it was Sven’s hand.

“You’re staring at her too long, do you really want to die?” Sven asked and stared Asmond in the eye.

Rufus, Glen, and Silas attacked Sven because they were angry that Asmond was treated like a lackey. They swung their swords at him, but Sven dodged them and punched Rufus in the face really hard. He then beat Silas and Glen up until they couldn’t even lift their heads anymore.

“Weaklings, don’t interfere,” Sven said as he looked at the three of them. “I’m warning you, Asmond. If you’re thinking of doing something to her, you’re a dead man, and pray to your God that you’ll be resurrected,” Sven continued as he walked back and kept making eye contact with Asmond.

Everyone who watched from behind was shocked when those three got beaten up so easily. They were so powerless that even Asmond didn’t dare to fight Sven because he knew he would lose. That was enough to tell that the Guild Association was way superior to Asmond and his team, and some of them were so happy to see Asmond get put down back in his place.

Elena looked at Asmond, and they were making eye contact with each other. She then leaned her head toward Jeanne and asked about the man who had been staring at her.

“So that man is the main character?” Elena asked as she looked at Jeanne.

“Main character? What do you mean?” Jeanne raised her eyebrows and was curious about what Elena meant by that.

Elena covered her mouth and remembered to not let anyone know about the truth. She already knew about everything when she saw Mykel’s past, and he told her to keep it a secret from anyone. She was scared to get a scolding from Mykel and decided to shake her head repeatedly.

“It’s nothing! I want to fight a Demon Lord!” Elena shouted and startled everyone.

Jeanne was staring at Elena with a surprised expression that Elena suddenly screamed like that. She then told everyone to keep moving since their journey had just started. They didn’t know how long they would stay there even though the tower was getting narrower the higher they went.

Little that they know that even though the Babel Tower became narrower the higher they went, they didn’t know that the more floors they had to go before they could reach the seventieth floor. They needed to have at least climbed fifty floors before they could reach the seventieth floor, and that alone would take a whole week.

“This is so boring…” Elena said after she single-handedly killed the whole demons in one of the rooms by manipulating her own life energy and using it like whips that came out of her fingers. A gentle touch of the energy was enough to cut the demons like a hot knife on butter.

“Should we use the same method as back then?” Rozan asked Aurea and pointed his index finger at the ceiling. “Since those guys are no longer following us, I guess it’s better to do it now before they catch up on us,” Rozan turned around and didn’t see anyone behind them.

“Elena, it’s boring, right? Why don’t you make a hole in the ceiling so we can go straight to the Demon Lord’s room? It’s faster that way, right?” Aurea said as she wrapped her arm around Elena’s neck.

Jeanne who was standing next to them immediately pinched Aurea’s cheek and pulled Aurea toward her. “What are you trying to do? Are you trying to use Elena like that?” Jeanne asked.

Aurea chuckled as she removed her arm around Elena’s neck while she kept trying to convince Elena to do it. Since Elena wanted to show off her power, she covered her body with her own life energy and flew straight up and destroyed the ceilings like it was nothing.

They all looked up and looked at the hole. They saw a bright light like a star in the distance, and they realized that Elena had gone so far away that all they could see was a dot of light. They all immediately followed Elena and tried to catch up to her, but the only ones who could catch up to her were Jeanne and Aurea. They had to stop her before she passed the boss’s room.

“You’re using a child like that. Don’t blame me if Elena found out that she was being used by you,” Jeanne said to Aurea who flew next to her.

“That’s exactly what I’m doing. She’s a child, and a child loves to show off that they’re capable. I’m not using her, I’m just letting her do whatever she wants,” Aurea answered as she giggled. “Even if she’s going to be mad, I have you to calm her down, right? Since it’s a perfect opportunity for you to get a pass from her as well,” Aurea pointed out.

Jeanne sighed and flew away ahead of Aurea.

In the end, Jeanne managed to catch up to Elena and stop her from advancing even further. Aurea came a few minutes later while Rozan and the others came an hour after her. Rozan used his magic and Gerrard used his eyes to check if they had flown past the boss’s room or not, but thankfully they were not.

“The boss room should be here or the floor after this because we passed and went straight up forty floors from where we were,” Rozan said as he let everyone land on the ground after he carried them all.

Asmond and his team arrived in the room and saw the giant hole in the ceiling. They looked up and were shocked to see the walls and ceilings that were unbreakable could be destroyed like that. They were wondering who did that, but when they were about to fly into the hole, the demons from the upper floors came down and started attacking them.

They had no choice but to retreat because there were too many of them and not to mention they were demons from the upper floors. They cornered and could go anywhere else, and the worst part would be Asmond’s [Void Sanctuary] skill was still on cooldown. He couldn’t handle all of them in his current state.

They tried their best, and thankfully hundreds or even a thousand Awakeners came and helped them out. They were all struggling to kill a single demon, but thanks to so many Awakeners that kept coming, they slowly outnumbered the demons.

As they were fighting the demons, a notification appeared in front of them. The seventieth floor had been cleared, and all the demons that were attacking them retreated and flew back into the hole.

(At Mykel’s office)

[You have increased a skill!]

[Admin (Lv.7) > Admin (Lv.8)]

“(You did it. You’re now more powerful than her)” Lucifer said.

“(Now, let’s see how many skills she has)” Mykel said and opened Mara’s status screen.
