Destroying My Own Novel

Mykel and the others followed the soldier since Mykel wanted him to guide them to the dam where the flood came from. Mykel asked Gunnar to stay in the palace to guard Jeanne and the others with Lillith and Gunnar because they weren’t necessary to follow him to the dam.

“Did the flood only happen in this city or in the other cities as well?” Edith asked.

“The last thing we heard about the other cities was that there was something more than just a flood. They said something was big enough to swallow a whole city in a single night,” The soldier answered as he carefully walked away from the puddle of water.

“How many cities out there?” Agnez asked and stared at her own reflection in the water.

“Five, East City, South City, West City, North City, and lastly Central City. Right now we are in the East City,” The soldier answered. “The Tower of Azrael is currently in the North City and that city was the one that I mentioned earlier where something big enough to swallow a whole city,”

Edith was carefully avoiding the puddle of water and looked at the surroundings everything looked so damp and wet. “Is it just me or the more we walk to the north, the damp and wet the place is?” she asked as she looked at Mykel.

The soldier turned around and looked at Edith. “Soon enough we will see a flooded area so it will be hard to reach the dam without getting wet,”

They kept on walking into the damp city and there were no living beings, not even a single bug or insect. They ended up on a road that lead into a tunnel but the problem was the whole tunnel was covered in flood.

“Don’t you think it’s better for you to dry this whole place down, Mykel? I don’t want you to get possessed because we will die immediately if you do,” Agnez said as she looked at her boots that got wet from stepping on the puddle of water.

Mykel nodded with understanding and then he walked toward the water while the soldier looked at him with a bit of confusion. “What are you doing? Are you planning to swim in that?” he asked.

Mykel stepped his foot on the puddle of water and it slowly evaporated and the steam covered his leg. He kept on walking down the road and the water in front of him evaporated instantly that making the soldier bewildered.

“How? What?” The soldier was dumbfounded and speechless as he saw Mykel dry up the flood as he walked toward the tunnel.

“Just stay here until the whole area is clear,” Agnez said as she leaned on the cab car that was covered in moss.

Mykel stood in front of the tunnel as he took a deep breath and warmed up his shoulder and then clenched his right fist as he put hellfire on it. He pulled his shoulder and straight punched the air, it produced heatwaves that were enough to evaporate the whole water in the tunnel all the way to the other exit.

“There we go, let’s go,” Agnez said as she walked past the soldier with Edith following behind her.

The whole tunnel was boiling hot and it felt like they were in a sauna because of the heatwaves. Edith and Agnez were fine with the heat but not the soldier because he was drenched in sweat.

It took them an hour to reach the dam and the whole area was covered with tall wild grass and trees. Moss covered everything and the sound of the waterfall hitting the rocks was so relaxing to hear.

“That’s the dam, to go up there, you need to reach get into that door over there but I can’t guarantee you if the lift or the ladder is still working because we have abandoned this area for years,” The soldier said as he pointed at the door near the parking lot.

“That won’t be a problem. Also, it’s better for you guys to run as far as you can. I will give you five minutes to start running,” Mykel said as he readied his feet on the ground and then jumped as high as he could that the shockwave was enough to push them all to the ground.

Mykel flew up high in the air and landed on the forest outside the dam. He looked at the giant lake that was surrounded by mountains, he looked at the oddity of the water and could tell something was lurking deep down in the water.

“I know you’re in there, show yourself,” Mykel said as he stood on the shore.

The lake was as calm as it was and Mykel sighed as he smirked.

“I haven’t tested my full power ever since I gain this Godly Physical skill. How about I test it here since this whole place is already a mess anyway?” Mykel mumbled as he looked at the sky and then jumped with full power and crumbled the whole ground creating an avalanche.

Mykel looked down and the lake that looked so big from down below now looked so small that his fingertip could cover the whole lake. He started to fall down and covered his whole body with hellfire.

The sound of loud whistling could be heard from the sky, Agnez looked at the sky and saw the wind breaking over and over that it sounded like bombs were being detonated.

“We are going to die if we don’t move faster,” Agnez said, and then she looked at Edith and grabbed her body. “I will carry you to safety,” she said and started to leap as far as she could leaving the soldier behind.

Mykel went full dive and the fiery hell flame trail was so bright that it looked like a meteor flew down from the sky. The shockwave was enough to crumble the dam and the heatwave was enough to evaporate the lake even though he was still a mile away above the lake.

The moment he used all his strength on his upper body and hit the lake, the whole area disintegrated into nothing. The lower ground was like a tidal wave and flattened everything a few miles away from the impact. The mountains got flattened by the hit as well and it looked like a doomsday where nothing could survive the impact.

Agnez was running and jumping as far as she could while she was carrying Edith in her arms. The soldier was guaranteed dead by the impact and Agnez didn’t care about him anyway since she herself was struggling from running away from the danger.

In the end, she couldn’t run away from the danger and got blown away by the shockwaves. She protected Edith in her arms with all cost while her back was hitting the walls over and over that she had no idea how far she got launched by it.

While she was busy holding Edith, an ear-deafening explosion happened and she had no idea what that sound was.

Mykel stood up with steam coming out of his body, he looked around and he stood on top of bedrock. He didn’t know how deep he went but everything looked so dark because he was surrounded by cliffs that he created himself.

The heatwaves were enough to dry the land and no water could be seen anywhere from miles away.

(At the palace)

“Holy shit! What the fuck was that?!” Gunnar asked as he tried to stand up from the debris because the whole palace crumbled from the massive earthquake. “Gerrard, Lillith!” he yelled as he tried to move the debris and the concrete from his path.

Gerrard walked in between the concrete and whistled at Gunnar, they both then looked for Lillith who was still missing, not to mention Jeanne and the others.

While they were looking for Lillith, they saw concretes blocks got blown away not far from them. They looked to their right and saw Rozan was covered in dirt as he coughed.

“Rozan!” Gunnar yelled as he and Gerrard ran toward them.

“What the hell is happening?!” Rozan asked as he looked at both of them.

“You’re back!” Gunnar said with a big smile on his face. “Anyway, Jeanne and the others were still inside, we need to look for them,” he continued but then Jeanne appeared as she moved the debris with both of her hands.

One by one they gathered around and looked at each other with confusion because Jeanne and those who got possessed had no idea what happened to them and didn’t remember anything.

“So, anyone can tell us what’s happening right now?” Sven asked as he swept the dirt on his shoulder.

“The boss is fighting the demon,” Gunnar answered and the moment he said that a notification appeared in front of them.

[You have cleared the eleventh floor of the Azrael Tower!]

[You are the first to clear the eleventh floor]

[Please enter your name]

[The red portal to the twelfth floor is now open!]

[The blue portal to your original world is now open!]

“Well that explains a lot of things,” Rozan said as he looked at the notification.
