Destroying My Own Novel

"Two towers left and there's no more breakout," Rozan said as he was chilling on the balcony and stared at the morning sky with Gunnar. "Isn't it great? That everything is going to be over soon?" Rozan turned around to look at Gunnar.

Gunnar was staring blankly at the sunrise through the gap in the railing. He didn't say anything while holding a beer bottle.

"What's wrong? Why is it that everyone starting to be gloomy now?" Rozan asked as he sat down next to Gunnar and judgingly stared at him.

"I'm not being gloomy, I just admire the sunrise, that's all. We have been through a lot, we died, and we came back to life. I'm just reminiscing the past," Gunnar answered and then took a sip of the beer. "Our hard work is paid off, and our victory is guaranteed thanks to the boss who picked us," Gunnar sighed with relief as he leaned his back on the chair.

"Well, his job was to pick us and trained us, but yeah, we are really lucky that he picked us all," Rozan nodded his head in agreement. "We should focus on the next tower though. It's one of the Deadly Sins holders, the Sin of Glutton. I don't think it will be an easy fight," Rozan yawned as he closed his eyes since he was still sleepy.

Jeanne slid the glass door open and looked at both of them, "We are leaving soon. Don't stay outside for too long and prepare your stuff."

Gunnar and Rozan nodded with understanding and went inside to prepare.

They all went to District 4 on a luxury bust which took four hours of driving. They were listening to Aurea's story about Beezlebub and what kind of Demon King he was. The Lord of the Flies was his title, and he was cunning, intelligent, strong, and the second most feared Demon King after Lucifer.

"How strong are the flies? Can I kill it with magic?" Rozan asked.

"If your magic is strong enough, you can kill it..." Aurea paused. "But if not, you're only feeding them with magic power and making them stronger. They have unlimited growth and a single mistake will turn the tide in an instant, so if you really think your magic is superior to the flies, go ahead and kill them as soon as possible," Aurea continued.

"We are talking about Beelzebub, but we still have to fight his daughter first, Nefarath. I have seen her fight, and it's better if you guys focus on her," Jeanne said as she looked at everyone.

"Right, the spider lady. We didn't fight her back then, and looking at how far she could grow and how terrifying her scythe-like legs were, I agree with Jeanne," Gerrard replied.

Everyone looked at Aurea since they wanted to know how strong exactly Nefarath was. She didn't say anything, but then she smiled as she looked at them, "You want to know how strong she is? Well, back then, I was butchered by her legs. In fact, I was impaled for a hundred years after losing to her."

All of them were surprised that Aurea or Mazikeen lost to a Demon Princess since they knew Mazikeen was the second strongest in terms of brute strength. To think she lost to Nefarath, meant there was something off about Nefarath that they needed to find out.

"How did you lose?" Jeanne asked and she was curious about it as well.

"She knows that I'm strong, so she ate my limbs and grew stronger. She sucked my blood, eat my flesh, and crunch my bones. She grew stronger as time went by until I finally was outmatched by her. But, that was because I let her do that since I believed it would be better to fight an opponent in their peak condition. So basically it was my fault for feeding her," Aurea answered.

Their worries disappeared as soon as they found out the reason why Aurea lost to Nefarath. It turned out it was because of her own stupidity that made her lose, and so they weren't that worried anymore since they already knew if they didn't feed Nefarath with anything, they would win without a problem.

They entered the ninety-first floor and were disgusted by the place surrounded by decayed unknown bodies. It wasn't a demon corpse, it wasn't a human corpse, and even if it was a monster, it looked like a humanoid one. They were inside a massive cave that they couldn't see the end of it and how tall the ceiling was because it was too dark.

"What are these?" Vincze said as he covered his nose because the pungent smell was too much to handle.

"These are flies that tried to evolve into a new species but failed. They're also Nefarath's snacks. Or it supposed to be since the flies were thrown down here from Beelzebub's domain so she could eat them, but now since Nefarath had been away for too long, these bodies started to rot since nobody ate them," Aurea answered so casually, and didn't mind the smell.

"So basically, this whole place had turned into a mass graveyard," Gunnar said as he looked at the corpses as far as his eyes could see. "They're dead, right? We don't have to worry about them, right?" Gunnar asked with a worried expression.

"This place is called a spider lair, and you can burn them if you want. I don't eat them anymore," Nefarath suddenly appeared in front of them with her head down. She was hanging down and used her spider legs to hang around the walls.

They jolted and jumped back because she startled them. They couldn't feel her presence at all because they were overwhelmed by their surroundings.

"Since you guys are finally here, should we fight now?" Nefarath asked as she slowly turned her body around with her spider legs that didn't make a single noise. "I wonder why I stayed in this kind of place. It's dark, boring, and smells," Nefarath continued as she looked at Jeanne and Aurea in front of her.

"Why are you asking that question to us? Your opponent will be them," Jeanne said as she looked at Rozan and the others who were behind Nefarath.

"Them? My legs are enough to fight them," Nefarath ripped her back and pulled out hundreds of scythe-like legs from her back. "I'm asking this because I'm interested in fighting both of you at the same time," Nefarath said and turned into her true form.

Nefarath's legs started attacking Rozan and the others, and it looked like they were being shot by dozens of battling guns. Her attacks were so rapid that it was impossible for them to advance forward.

Sven and the others cut off her legs, but it regenerated almost instantly, and not to mention there were hundreds of them so they couldn't focus on just one leg each. It was Nefarath who said, they were struggling to fight her, especially in a tight area where dead bodies were around them.

Nefarath used the remaining legs that she had to attack Jeanne and Aurea, but they were too fast for her. She then pulled more legs from her shoulders, chest, and stomach. A total of a thousand legs were on her body, and she started to destroy everything that blocked her path.

Rozan decided to use a wind barrier and protect himself and the others from the legs. Every time the legs tried to pierce through the barrier, they got cut off. Although they were safe, they couldn't stay there for too long because sooner or later the inside of the barrier would be filled with legs.

Nefarath couldn't regenerate all of them forever. But knowing where she was and looking at how many dead bodies around her, she could devour all of them to replenish her power. That was exactly what she did, she used a few of her legs to collect all the flies and ate them in a single gulp.

Nefarath's [Glutton] skill didn't only give her strength, but it also ate the power of the thing she devoured. Since the flies had different kinds of evolution, she got all of their powers and turned them into hers.

"The legs have mutated?!" Rozan looked at the legs that used to be made of exoskeleton had been turned into different material that was strong enough to endure the wind barrier's pressure. "I'll give you guys an opening, so be ready!" Rozan looked at everyone from over his shoulder.

Rozan activated [Brainstorm] and immediately removed the wind barrier around them. When the legs were flying toward them, he used his [Telekinesis] power and stopped all the hundreds of legs in front of them.

"Go!" Rozan yelled and he started to bleed from his eyes, nose, and mouth since he had to control hundreds of legs at the same time. Since he couldn't control all of them, Gunnar used his shield and body as a shield to stop the legs from killing Rozan.

Sven and the others disappeared and reappeared right behind Nefarath. They lit their weapons with [Hellfire] and then cut all of her stacked legs off her back. They broke through her legs and swung their weapons with all their might, and then Vincze pierced through Nefarath's back all the way to the front.

"Don't underestimate us, bitch!" Vincze jumped and landed on top of his spear. He then pushed the spear down with his legs, cutting Nefarath's giant body open.

"Oh, how interesting," Nefarath said and came out of the gap inside her body. She pierced through Vincze's chest with her spider legs on her back. "Spiders can shed their skin, and use the old body as bait," Nefarath smiled and threw Vincze's body away.

"Hah, shame on you. He was also a bait, kind of," Sven appeared in between Nefarath's old body's legs. He beheaded her and threw the real body away.

Nagy and Lillith sliced Nefarath's body into tiny pieces. A notification appeared in front of them and they all sighed with relief.

"That was intense even though it was a short battle..." Gunnar said as he carried Rozan's body on his shoulder.
