Destroying My Own World

Chapter 33: Sparring. (3)

"So, where were we? I'm sorry that I had to leave to take care of other matters," Alfredo asked as he sat down in front of Mykel with a cigar in his left hand.

"About the important news that you were about to tell me," Mykel answered as he puffed the smoke and looked at the cigar in his hand.

"Right, the important news. I want to make a deal with you, something that's far greater than any deals that we had," Alfredo said as he fixed his sitting and looked at Mykel with excitement.

"A deal?" Mykel asked.

"Yes, about your plan on entering the portal," Alfredo answered as he leaned forward. "Everyone knows that the Chosen Ones from the United States won't be able to make it out alive, so what I want to offer you is more than just money this time," Alfredo said and smoked his cigar.

Mykel furrowed his eyebrows and thought about what Alfredo wanted from that, but then he realized as he watched the battle between the seven guildmasters against Jeanne. He wanted the artifacts, or at least that was what he thought because an artifact was worth more than anything and they were a one-of-a-kind item.

"You want their artifacts..." Mykel said as he squinted his eyes and looked at Alfredo.

Alfredo showed a huge grin on his face, and he was glad that Mykel could see through him.

"Yes! I want all of them, or we can split it in half if you want to," Alfredo said.

"No, you can have all of them. I don't really need an artifact, but I wonder what are you going to offer if you know a single artifact worth more than hundreds of strong demons," Mykel replied as he crossed his arms.

Alfredo looked at his advisor and then nodded his head at the advisor. The advisor walked toward the desk and grabbed a document from there. He walked back and gave the document to Alfredo.

"This is worth more than money," Alfredo said as he slowly slid the document toward Mykel.

Mykel stared at it and he could see the symbol of an eye inside a triangle on the cover. He pretended to not know what it meant and opened the document so casually. The first thing he noticed was that it was a form, and his name was already printed on the paper. It was a membership to become a part of the Illuminati cult, and he read it thoroughly.

"You know about it, don't you?" Alfredo asked, and his tone went deeper and his face became serious as he looked Mykel in the eye.

"I know, but not that much," Mykel answered and he chose the safest answer because he didn't know if Alfredo knew what Mykel knew, or if Alfredo was just testing him. "Devil worshippers," Mykel continued and wanted to know Alfredo's reaction.

Alfredo didn't respond to Mykel's words, but then he laughed so hard that the advisor started to laugh as well.

"I never thought you would believe in those," Alfredo said as he cleared his throat.

"The fact that demons do exist, I don't think it sounds that crazy or funny anymore," Mykel said as he kept reading the document. "Since I don't know much about this Illuminati or Freemason thing, why don't you explain it to me about this first?" Mykel asked as he looked at Alfredo.

(At the training ground)

Darius was thrown out of the arena with the scimitar in his hand. Jeanne kicked him out of the arena when he was trying to get close to her, and he was still in shock at how that happened.

"How was it? Did it surprise you?" Zhang asked as he looked at Darius on the ground.

Darius didn't say anything and immediately got up to look at the rest of them who were still in the arena. He wasn't the first one that fell for the same trick, Ren was the first one who fell, then Zhang not long after, and he was the third one who got sent off the arena.

The ones who were still in the arena were Magnus, Shanka, Lazarus, and Jeong. They were surrounding Jeanne, but she moved like an eel and could free herself from the corner. She could block an attack from her blind spot like it was nothing, and she didn't only use her sword, she used her fist, and feet to fight.

"That's your tenth sword, Miss Jeanne. You're running out of weapons," Shanka said as he pointed his staff at Jeanne.

"Am I?" Jeanne asked and dashed forward and attacked Jeong.

Jeanne caught Jeong off guard, and he was knocked down by her attack. Shanka, Lazarus, and Magnus knew what she was going to do next, so they prevented her from eliminating Jeong. She dodged Magnus' spear, Lazarus' spear, and Shanka's staff, and then she trusted her sword right at Lazarus which took him by surprise as well. Jeanne kicked him off the arena when he tried to dodge it, and it happened in a split second.

"My target was you all along," Jeanne said with a gentle smile and looked at Darius who was lying on the ground. "Now you're running out of men," Jeanne looked at Shanka over her shoulder.

[Raven's eye has recalculated the outcome]

[The chance of winning is 0%]

"The chance drops to zero the moment Lazarus got eliminated," Magnus said as he lowered his spear.

Jeong and Shanka looked at Magnus and they were surprised when the probability dropped from ten percent to zero. They trusted the artifact that Magnus had, and they couldn't believe that they couldn't beat Jeanne even though there were still three of them.

"If I'm allowed to use my magic, will the probability change?" Shanka asked.

"It rises up to twenty percent chance," Magnus answered.

Shanka chuckled quietly as he shook his head in disbelief. He felt insulted when his magic which was given to Ra himself was worth not more than twenty percent.

"You don't believe in the artifact that Odin himself gave him?" Jeanne asked. "You're free to use your magic, and I'll prove to you that he's not wrong," Jeanne swung her sword and readied her stance.

Shanka raised his staff and created spikes that appeared from the ground. Jeanne took a leap forward and it surprised Shanka that she would approach him instead of avoiding him. She dodged and broke the spikes that kept appearing from the ground, and then she threw her sword right on Shanka's staff before he could use another magic.

Shanka lost his grip on his staff and it spun in mid-air, and when he tried to catch it, Jeanne kicked his back and sent him off the ground. She knew that the staff was worth more than the result of the spar, that was why she targeted the staff in the first place.

"I can't use magic, but I have fought the best mage I know and I know every weakness of mages," Jeanne said and then looked at Rozan.

Rozan was flattered when Jeanne said that, and he felt proud of himself for some reason.

"I forfeit," Magnus said as he raised his spear.

"Me too," Jeong said as he raised his sword.

Everyone clapped their hands and was amazed by Jeanne's skill, and so far she was the most exciting and amazing than the others.

"I think we all can agree that we acknowledge the Rebirth Guild and their capabilities of clearing the portal," Magnus said as he looked at everyone on the training ground.

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement since the seven strongest guildmasters were defeated by her.

"Hold on a minute, there's one member left that hasn't proven her skill. It's too early to celebrate," Agares said as he looked at Elena. "You're Mykel's little sister, right?" Agares asked.

"Yes," Elena answered as she stood up.

Everyone in the room didn't know that Mykel had a little sister, and not to mention that she was the strongest of the rest blew their minds. But after they recall what happened in the auditorium, it wasn't really that surprising if she was the strongest compared to the others.

"Since you said that you're the strongest of the rest, why don't you go up there and show it to us?" Agares asked with a smile.

"I don't mind," Elena answered and then walked up the arena. "But all the guildmasters have been defeated, and who will be my opponent?" Elena asked as she looked at Agares.

"The seven of us," Agares answered as he stood up and walked up the arena with his team. "If you can defeat us, then we will acknowledge the Rebirth Guild as the strongest guild in the world," Agares said as he stood in the arena with his team.

"That would be a piece of cake," Elena answered.
