Destroying My Own Novel

“Impossible! How can you imitate my power?!” Zherthlsh said as she glared at Mykel with disbelief.

Mykel didn’t even say a single word and immediately punched Zherthlsh’s guts and he threw her onto the tower which was a mile away from them. He didn’t stop there and immediately jumped and it felt like he was flying since he immediately reached the tower.

The tower was indestructible but because of both of them, the tower felt like it was about to crumble from their brute strength. Those Awakeners that were near the tower got blown and launched away from the tower. They had no idea what was happening because the ground was shaking like crazy and splashed like water.

The battle between Mykel and Zherthlsh was being watched by all the Constellations and they were all cheering for him. He didn’t care but it was good enough to see that they were cheering for him since it was a good opportunity to gain their favor.

Mykel knew that it was already over for her and he had at least five more minutes before his [Puissant] skill wore off. He didn’t show any mercy to Zherthlsh and there was nothing she could do because Mykel just tore her wings and it was the only way she could escape.

The time moved really slowly when he moved that fast and a minute felt like five minutes for him. One by one, Mykel tore Zherthlsh’s limb off and he still had a minute left so he used it to tear off her last limb.

Mykel ran out of his [Puissant] skill and he was still far ahead of Zherthlsh’s power even without it. Zherthlsh on the other hand could only lay down on the ground with no limbs, she wasn’t screaming in pain, but she was screaming in annoyance.

“It’s over, Zherthlsh,” Mykel said as he stared down at Zherthlsh with wounds and his own blood all over his body.

Zherthlsh glared at Mykel who put on a shirt and pants he found on the ground. “Who are you, how can this be,” she asked with blood coming out of her mouth.

Mykel walked back and sat down next to Zherthlsh which made her so confused. He looked at the dark clouds and the heavy rain that poured on his face.

“Goddess Mara, can I have a private moment with her without these Gods and Goddesses’ interference?” Mykel asked as he stared at the sky.

Zherthlsh’s eyes were wide open as she kept glaring at Mykel which turned into fear. Different dark clouds were formed and made a void so the Constellations couldn’t see or hear anything.

“I told you, I know her but you don’t believe me,” Mykel said as he sighed.

“I see, does that mean I won’t be able to live anymore?” Zherthlsh said as she stared at the void that seemed to be ready to devour her.

“No, why would I do that?” Mykel answered as he looked at Zherthlsh.

“Then what do you want from me?” Zherthlsh asked as she furrowed her eyebrows with confusion.

Mykel looked at all the wounds on her that started to heal themselves. “I’m protecting you from any harm while waiting for you to fully recover your body,”

“Why?” Zherthlsh asked.

“Because I don’t want you to die,” Mykel said as he put his hand on her shoulder. “Your father doesn’t love you at all it seems,” he said as he looked at the void in the sky.

Zherthlsh stared at the void and nothing happened up there, everything looked quiet and peaceful as if Azazel didn’t even try to save his daughter. She looked at Mykel and his hand on her shoulder, she was so confused and didn’t know what to say about the situation.

“Can you promise me something, Zherthlsh?” Mykel asked while he kept staring at the void.

“Promise you?” Zherthlsh asked as she started to regenerate her arms and legs.

“Promise me that you won’t come out here anymore,” Mykel answered. “If you’re here for the ring, I will give it back to you,” he continued as he looked at Zherthlsh.

Mykel looked at the [Fire Ring] and then he removed it from his finger. He put the ring on her chest and looked at it for one last time.

“Why? What are you trying to do? What with this nonsense?! Answer me!” Zherthlsh asked as she yelled at Mykel.

Mykel smirked and he suddenly put his hand on Zherthlsh’s forehead that it startled her. His cold hand felt weird on her forehead, it wasn’t because of the hand. It was because nobody had ever put their hand on Zherthlsh’s head even Azazel himself never put his hand on her head.

It was a new sensation that she never experienced, it made her calm and anxious at the same time. The longer Mykel put her hand on her shoulder, the calmer she became and the silence was all Mykel needed.

“The answer for that is obvious,” Mykel paused as he stared Zherthlsh in the eye. “I have proven myself that I’m strong than you, and I don’t need that ring. Even if I want it back, I could just take it away from you again,” he continued as he smiled at her.

The moment Zherthlsh regained all her limbs, she grabbed the ring on her chest. She immediately spread her wings to stand up then choked Mykel’s neck as she slammed him to the ground.

“You foolish human,” Zherthlsh said as she tightened her grip.

“Are you trying to prove that you’re still better than me? Are you really satisfied with killing me like this?” Mykel said as he laid down and didn’t even try to resist.

“Get up, get up!” Zherthlsh screamed on Mykel’s face.

Mykel just smiled as he shook his head.

Zherthlsh was so furious but she didn’t want to kill Mykel because a demon really has a high pride in themselves.

“Let’s make a deal then,” Mykel said as he held Zherthlsh’s hand.

“A deal? Don’t mess with me!” Zherthlsh replied.

“I will fight you again but not now,” Mykel said and that was enough to attract Zherthlsh’s attention. “But, what’s the chance for me to be able to reach the hundredth floor? I’m not talking about if I can clear it or not, but I’m talking about the danger that I will face. I might be dead before I can reach your palace, who knows,” he explained.

“Nobody will touch you if I command them!” Zherthlsh said as she glared down at Archie.

“You don’t have the power for that. Isn’t Lucifer the one who possesses the body of that person who has the Sacrificial Dagger? What makes you think will happen to me if someone like you appears?” Mykel asked as he had been playing a mind game with Zherthlsh.

“I will get that dagger from you,” Zherthlsh said as she removed her hands from Mykel and immediately flew away in a blink of an eye.

Mykel couldn’t help but chuckle when she did what exactly he wanted her to do. He looked up at the sky and the void was still there, he smiled as he raised his eyebrows. “You’re watching, aren’t you? Don’t worry, I’m not planning on disturbing the balance as we agreed on,”

Zherthlsh suddenly landed in front of him and she not only brought the dagger but also the head of the person. She threw the head on the ground and showed the dagger to Mykel that was in her hand.

“I have brought the dagger, now there will be no demon that will be summoned to your world,” Zherthlsh said as she hid the dagger.

“Now what are you going to do? Are you going to go back to your world on the hundredth floor?” Mykel asked as he looked at her flapping her wings.

“Yes, and I will be waiting,” Zherthlsh answered.

“What if I don’t want to? What are you going to do about it since you’re already back to your world and the dagger is with you so no humans can summon a demon anymore,” Mykel said as he raised his eyebrow.

“Are you playing with me!” Zherthlsh choked on Mykel again and this time she lifted him up.

“What if you stay here in my world? Aren’t you bored living with the demons that you have seen their face for a very long time?” Mykel asked as he tried to loosen Zherthlsh’s grip.

“Staying in your world? Why would I want to live in this disgusting world?” Zherthlsh asked back as she pulled her hand so she could see Mykel’s face from up close.

“Because I’m in it and we can fight whenever you want as long as I’m in the mood for that,” Mykel answered with a smile on his face.

“How can I keep your words, Mykel Alester?” Zherthlsh asked.

“I swear with Goddess Mara as my witness that I will not lie about it and I want you to promise me that you won’t hurt my people, ever,” Mykel replied as he looked at the void.

Zherthlsh nodded. “I promise that I will not hurt your people,”

A massive pressure immediately struck both Mykel and Zherthlsh, it was the same feeling that he had when he was summoned to Mara’s world.

“Do you believe me, now?” Mykel asked as he coughed.

Zherthlsh nodded in agreement.

“Now leave and live freely in my world,” Mykel said as he tried to stand up.

Zherthlsh spread her wings and disappeared.

“It’s not over, it’s just the beginning,” Mykel said as she stared at the void.
