Destroying My Own Novel

Asmond threw a punch at Mykel, but to his surprise, Mykel managed to dodge it before Asmond’s fist reached his face. He wondered if Mykel’s skills were disabled or not because of how calm he looked. He didn’t have time to think about it and kept throwing punches and kicks at Mykel.

Although Mykel lost all his skills, he could see how Asmond made unnecessary moves before his attacks. He was a pro fighter in real life, and he could tell by the movements of his opponent’s shoulders, hips, waist, knees, and feet. He could read Asmond like a book. He had to be extra focused because a single hit from Asmond would be enough to knock him out.

He didn’t try to fight Asmond back because his attacks would be useless and he didn’t want to waste his stamina for that. He wanted to survive as long as he could and he didn’t want to give in so easily to give Asmond the satisfaction of beating him. He played a cat-and-mouse game where he avoided Asmond and let Asmond follow him aimlessly.

“Is this all you can do?” Mykel asked with a smirk. “Acting cool by fighting me with bare hands, and yet you can’t even hit me,” Mykel scoffed.

Asmond ignored Mykel’s taunt and kept throwing punches at him because he knew sooner or later Mykel would run out of stamina. He wanted to see that arrogant face of Mykel turned into desperation and when that happened, he wanted to enjoy it, every second of it.

Roxanne was dealing with Aurea, and she was clashing their swords at each other. Although she was stronger, her sword was way weaker than Aurea’s sword that sooner or later her sword would break. She wasn’t planning on killing Aurea because she had never killed a human before, but looking at the situation she was in, she would be the one who would be at a disadvantage.

The moment Roxanne repelled Aurea’s attack, she cut off Aurea’s wrists and saw Aurea’s wrists and sword fall to the ground. She was shocked when she saw Aurea’s blood was dark purple rather than red. She looked at Aurea and realized that she wasn’t a human.

“Agnez… what are you…” Roxanne asked with a terrified expression. “You’re not a human…”

Aurea chuckled and pounced at Roxanne and bit a big chunk of skin and flesh from Roxanne’s neck. Roxanne screamed in pain and her eyes were wide open when she looked at how sharp Aurea’s teeth were. She was laughing frantically and let Roxanne’s blood run down her chin and neck.

Roxanne pushed Aurea away and immediately stabbed her in the chest. She pushed her sword as deep as she could, but Aurea started biting off Roxanne’s bottom lip like a savage. Roxanne was terrified by how could someone like Aurea exist, and she started to wonder if Aurea was a demon in the first place.

Lillith who saw Aurea get killed by Roxanne immediately ran toward her silently. She pounced on Roxanne’s back and stabbed her in the neck with her daggers. She stabbed them deep enough and pulled them as hard as she could until Roxanne’s head barely hung from her body.

Arum screamed in anger and stabbed Lillith in the back, and then threw her away from Roxanne’s body. She was so angry that she started stabbing Lillith over and over until there were dozens of holes in Lillith’s back.

Edith was covering her mouth with her trembling hand as she watched how Aurea and Lillith died. She couldn’t believe that the pose and the place they died were exactly the same as in the vision.

“Gunnar!” Vincze screamed.

Edith averted her gaze to look at Gunnar, and she was petrified by how those people stabbed him in the neck with six swords and four daggers as he was on his knees. They butchered him even though he couldn’t fight anymore because his hand was injured from blocking Asmond’s attack. They killed him mercilessly, and it angered Sven, Gerrard, Vincze, Nagy, and Jeanne because Gunnar was the last person who had done anything bad to anyone.

“Miss Edith, please stay down…” Enma said as she pointed her sword at Edith’s neck from behind. Her voice trembling as tears fell to her chin.

“Enma…” Edith turned around to look at Enma and she was making the same expression as Enma. “They butchered him… he was the nicest man I know…” Edith sniffled and started sobbing.

Enma’s hand was shaking really hard that she had only a sliver of strength to prevent the sword from falling off her hand. Her eyes were covered in tears that she couldn’t see anything but her own tears glimmering in her eyes.

“That’s enough!” Roxanne yelled as she watched the Awakeners butcher Gunnar’s body even though he was already dead. Roxanne looked at Enma and she felt guilty for letting that happen.

Sven and Vincze killed those Awakeners and swung their weapons with rage. They didn’t care who was in front of them and kept swinging their spear and scythe. Rufus and Glen cut off their arms to stop them from killing, and then kicked them both down to the ground. They didn’t want to kill him, so they let Vincze and Sven die from blood loss.

Jeanne, Nagy, Edith, Rozan, and Gerrard were the only ones left alive, and they were surrounded by dozens of Awakeners including Silas, Arum, and Roxanne. Jeanne looked so angry and decided to make a move and started attacking Roxanne.

Roxanne blocked Jeanne’s attack, but then her sword shattered into pieces. Arum who saw Roxanne who was about to get killed, immediately stabbed her sword at Jeanne, but the moment she touched Jeanne’s body from the side, she lost her strength. She was so confused that she couldn’t even move her hands from stabbing Jeanne’s body. The moment she looked at Jeanne, Jeanne already swung her sword at her and cut her head in half.

Jeanne was a God, and no matter how weak she became, a God was still a God, and humans couldn’t hurt her without [Semi-Deus] and [Deus Obscisor] skills. She was invincible because the only one who could hurt her was Asmond, but Asmond was too busy dealing with Mykel which made her able to kill every one of them.

“Asmond!” Rufus shouted.

Asmond turned around to look at what had happened, but then he saw Jeanne had killed dozens of Awakeners on her own. She was unscratched and she was covered in blood with a cold expression. He was surprised that she managed to kill all of them on her own, but he remembered that he had specifically told them to not hurt her, so that might be the reason.

“She’s invincible, they can’t hurt her because she has become a Goddess,” Mykel said.

Asmond looked at Mykel and was dumbfounded by the revelation. “What do you mean by that?” Asmond asked in disbelief.

Asmond immediately walked away to deal with Jeanne because he had to do it.

“Jeanne,” Asmond said as he drew his sword.

Jeanne glanced at Asmond and was giving a cold stare and she looked at him with anger. Asmond was surprised that Jeanne would look at him like that, and it made him feel uncomfortable and anxious. She ignored him and started attacking Rufus and the others which made him more surprised.

Asmond didn’t have any other choice but to join the fight to stop her, but Gerrard and Nagy prevented him from getting closer to Jeanne. Rozan on the other hand, had one last trick up his sleeve, and that was the [Ring of Fire] which allowed him to cast [Hellfire].

He lit his surroundings with [Hellfire] and burned the Awakeners into ashes. Asmond looked at Rozan and immediately dashed toward him and stabbed Rozan in the chest. It had to be done because nobody could survive that, not even him. When Nagy and Gerrard tried to backstab Asmond, they both got shot by arrows right on the chest and head. They both died instantly.

“Fuck you…” Rozan said before he lost consciousness as he glared at Asmond with a giant sword in his chest.

Jeanne looked at Asmond and decided to fight him, but when she was about to swing her sword at him, Asmond caught her off guard by using the back of his hilt and hitting her right on the nose. She fell to the ground and fell unconscious because he hit her really hard.

“It’s over…” Asmond looked at Jeanne.
