Destroying My Own Novel

Aurea slowly opened her eyes and felt stung all over her body as if she had a sunburn. She slowly got up and looked around and nothing remained except for Jeanne who was on her knees with thick glowing white smoke coming out of her body. She tried to touch the smoke and realized it wasn't smoke, but Jeanne's life energy that leaked from her body.

Jeanne knew the [Divine Blast] skill was a last resort kind of ability that used all life energy and left a small amount to keep the User from dying. She finally realized how powerful and dangerous that skill was, and thankfully no threat around her could endanger her life. She was worried about Rozan and the others because she didn't know if they were alive or not.

"(Mykel, is Rozan and the others still alive?)" Jeanne asked as she tried to stay conscious with her eyes barely open.

"(Did you use Divine Blast skill?)" Mykel asked calmly. "(And yes, they're still alive, but they're all unconscious)" Mykel answered.

"(I see...)" Jeanne said with a big smile and then collapsed.

Aurea fixed her hair and carefully carried Jeanne on her back. She then flew away to find the others since she didn't know if they were alive or not.

She managed to collect all of them and put them all together. She waited for them to wake up by checking if there was any soul that she could collect. She didn't feel any soul everywhere and was a bit terrified when she imagined what would happen to Beldathiel and the others if Hanessi used that skill.

After an hour of exploring, Aurea came back and saw everyone had awoken. They were staring at Jeanne and listening to her about what had happened earlier. They looked terrified and couldn't believe Jeanne had something like that. They realized how powerful a being called God was, and couldn't imagine how powerful Mykel would actually be if he decided to be in a serious mode.

"I guess you can't fight in the meantime, huh?" Sven asked as he looked at Jeanne with a worried expression.

"I'm fine... I will be back to normal in no time," Jeanne answered as she tried so hard to keep her body balanced while walking.

"Bullshit, just rest on my back," Aurea said as she grabbed Jeanne's hands and lifted Jeanne to Aurea's back. "It was my fault since I was the one who suggested it to you," Aurea continued as she looked at the castle in the far distance.

They all agreed with Aurea, so Jeanne couldn't say anything else but to accept Aurea's offer. They all then decided to go to the castle where the greater demons would await them.

They stood in front of the castle and realized how big it was compared to all the castles they had ever seen. They didn't have the chance to enter since the demons came out to welcome them.

"You want to handle this, Sven?" Rozan asked as he looked back at Sven.

"Are you sure? Well, I'll gladly accept," Sven answered as he swung his scythe around.

Since all the demons were powerful in magic, Sven didn't hesitate to get up close since it would be safer. He managed to kill most of them before the demons could cast a single magic.

It ended before the others knew it. It was all thanks to Sven's skill [Aura Blade] that coated the blade and made the blade sharper depending on skill level. The aura could be manipulated and made it bigger and longer. Not only that, but it also protected and maintained the blade's condition since the aura alone was enough to cut everything it touched.

Sven and Vincze were the only ones who had that skill, and it was during training with the valkyries. Sven had mastered it and could turn the aura into any shape and how big he wanted.

"You're slowly beating everyone with that growth. I'm impressed," Aurea said.

"Well..." Sven said as he pulled his scythe from the demon's head. "I know that I can't beat you two, I guess hearing that from you makes me kind of happy," Sven continued as he chuckled.

They looked at the castle for a few seconds and then decided to enter.

The demons that they encountered were the same as the ones that Rozan fought during the breakout. Knowing the demons were the same, Rozan decided to handle them on his own and killed all of them in an instant.

They explored the castle for hours until they found a giant door with seals on it.

"Is this it? Should we just barge in?" Gunnar asked as he stared at the chained door.

Aurea suddenly walked past Gunnar and lifted her right foot when she was in front of the gate. Before he could ask what she was trying to do, she kicked the door open. The door was sent flying and put everyone on guard since they never thought she would do something like that.

"Haa... as I expected, the room is empty since she's not here," Aurea said as she looked at the empty and ginormous chamber that could fit hundreds of people.

"What do you mean? Are you saying this is where Glasya lives? In this spacious chamber?" Sven asked in disbelief.

"Hmm, but that's not important right now. The problem is that we can't clear the tower if Glasya isn't here," Aurea said as she sat down on a giant bed. "With that being said, we are trapped here," Aurea continued.

They looked at each other and realized that it would be impossible to clear all the towers if they all became Mykel's servants. They were planning to ask Jeanne so Mykel could send them all back to Earth since they had become a Demi-god, but suddenly something fell from the ceiling.

"Finally you guys are here, I have been waiting," Glasya said in her demon form with all the accessories on her horn, ears, fingers, and wrist that beautify her dark blue skin. "Since there's no need for introductions, let's just get done with it!" Glasya continued with a huge grin on her face.

They readied their stances as they stared at Glasya with her [Holy Flame] enraging in her hands. The flame was going all the way up to the ceiling and it got bigger and fiercer.

"Glasya, we both are not going to participate, so don't burn us alive," Aurea said as she slowly lay down on the bed.

"Sure, just enjoy my bed," Glasya said as she floated right above the ground.

Rozan looked at Glasya and how powerful her magic power was. He realized if it was against her, his magic was nothing compared to her, and he believed that his magic wouldn't affect her at all.

Rozan stabbed his staff and then put his hands up in the air. He used the [Anti-magic Barrier] and immediately the [Holy Flame] in Glasya's hands got extinguished.

"I admit it that you're capable of extinguishing my Holy Flame, but that's not the only magic I can use," Glasya said as she tried to summon blue fire on her hands. She realized that she couldn't use magic at all. "What's this?! Why can't I use my magic!" Glasya was shocked as she looked at her hands.

"Why would I risk our lives to fight you in your own territory and not to mention after we all know that all the Asmodeus' demons are strong in magic," Rozan smugged and stared Glasya in the eye. "And so, I turn this whole place to be an anti-magic area," Rozan continued as he walked to the back while Gunnar and the others walked to the front to protect him. "Of course, I'm also useless here, but at least I have them to protect me and keep me alive," Rozan pointed his hands at them.

Aurea looked at Glasya, and she knew that magic wasn't the only thing that Glasya could do. In fact, she didn't really need to use magic directly to fight because her other abilities were as dangerous as the [Holy Flame].

"Since there are seven of you, then I should bring seven of me in here," Glasya said as six blue flames appeared right next to her. "This is my power," Glasya continued as six of her appeared from the fire.

"Also, I can still use magic, you see?" Glasya said and lit her hands with blue fire and giggled mischievously.
