Destroying My Own Novel

Asmond’s hands were trembling after what he did, he looked around and he wasn’t the only one who was shocked by it. Most of them were fine because they knew it had to be done, and it made Asmond think that he had to strengthen his resolution.

“What are you doing, Asmond? Come on, we are not stopping now, we are going to keep moving forward from here and out,” Rozan asked as he walked past Asmond while he kept staring at Asmond.

“I uhh,” Asmond paused and shook his head then he immediately stood up and followed everyone.

Mykel didn’t want to spend in the Tirth World for too long because there were six towers that he needed to clear. He calculated the time it would take for him to clear the Tirth World, and it was six days.

Five days had passed and they kept on moving until they saw the Mahazael tower in the distance. They looked at it and saw the atmosphere around it was so gloomy and ominous because the dark clouds were circling on top of the tower.

Mykel looked back and saw hundreds of people that survived the cleansing, they were all following him from behind even though they weren’t in a good shape. He decided to let everyone rest after half a day of walking and killing the cursed people.

“Their behavior has changed, huh?” Brynhilde asked as she stood next to Jeanne and stared her in the eye.

“Yeah, it feels like their only purpose now is to kill us all, that means there’s someone or something that controls them or gives them order,” Jeanne nodded her head and looked at Brynhilde. “By the way, is that area over there used to be a kingdom?” Jeanne pointed at the castle in the middle of vast land with so much debris around it.

Brynhilde’s expression changed drastically and looked a bit nervous when Jeanne mentioned the castle.

“I remember there was a kingdom over there, but I don’t know what happened to the kingdom,” Brynhilde answered while Mykel glanced at her and smirked a bit.

“Really? Maybe we should go and rest in that castle since it’s safer than out here,” Mykel said as he walked toward Brynhilde.

Brynhilde gulped and glanced at Gaswin and the others for a split second, they were looking at her and waiting for her answer.

“What’s wrong?” Mykel smiled and judgingly stared at Brynhilde.

Agnez and the others started to look at Brynhilde because they were curious why Brynhilde suddenly got nervous. Brynhilde looked at her surroundings and saw everyone staring at her.

“Nothing, it’s just that I don’t think going there is a good idea,” Brynhilde answered and averted her eyes.

“There’s a shelter not far from where we are and you think it’s not a good idea?” Agnez asked as she walked toward Brynhilde. “What is it that you’re hiding from us, Prince Brynhilde,” She asked as she raised her eyebrow.

Gerrard suddenly whistled so loudly that everyone immediately looked at him. He pointed at the forest in the distance and they saw a whole army of cursed people, but he didn’t stop there. He pointed in the direction of where they came from and saw another whole army appear in the distance.

“Great, we are getting surrounded,” Gunnar grabbed his shield on the ground. “There are at least a thousand of them,”

“What a coincidence,” Mykel said as he walked past Brynhilde. “Let’s use the castle to defend ourselves. There’s no better place than a castle to protect ourselves from them,”

“We can just fig-” Agnez paused in her mid-sentence and then realized what Mykel was planning since he himself could wipe the whole army on his own. “Right, let’s move everyone! We will be defending ourselves in the castle!” Agnez shouted and looked at everyone while she pointed at the castle.

Eckerhard and Emmer looked at each other then they looked at Gaswin.

“Wait! We can fight them here, why bother to go all the way there to the unknown that might have a more dangerous thing in there?” Brynhilde asked and looked at Mykel.

“You’re brave and capable of dealing with dozens of them at once but suddenly you got scared of the unknown?” Rozan furrowed his forehead as he stared at Brynhilde with suspicion.

“It’s your call whether you’re going to follow us or not, but we are not going to fight them here,” Mykel said as he walked with Gunnar and the others. “You can stay and fight them all on your own if you want to,”

Brynhilde clenched her fists and she was ready to unsheath the blue sword on her waist but she hesitated.

Alberta stared at Brynhilde and shook her head so slowly, then Brynhilde pulled her hair back in frustration. She closed her eyes as she listened to everyone walking past her.

“Let’s follow them,” Brynhilde said as she rubbed her face and followed Mykel.

Agnez looked at Lillith and raised her eyebrow, Lillith nodded and she knew about the reason behind why Brynhilde didn’t want them to be there. Gunnar and the others were curious about it as well but since Asmond and Kastor were next to them, Lillith didn’t want them to eavesdrop the conversation.

Mykel looked at Agnez and the others went across him, they started to whisper and Lillith was in the middle. He knew what exactly they were talking about and it made Asmond and Kastor look at them with curiosity.

“The back side of the ceiling is wide open, but it should be fine since those people can’t climb that high,” Kastor said as he looked at the wall and the ceiling. “We should put everyone who can’t fight inside the castle,”

“Don’t!” Brynhilde said as she reached her right hand to the front and stared at Kastor.

Brynhilde looked at the ground as she took a deep breath and exhaled deeply. “There’s something in there that you don’t want to see,” Brynhilde finally decided to tell everyone the truth. “It’s not something, but someone, or at least that was what she used to be,”

“We know,” Jeanne said as she looked at Brynhilde with disappointment. “How could you do that to her like that?” Jeanne squinted her eyes and shook her head.

Brynhilde and the others looked at Jeanne with confusion because she was on point and asked the question as if she really knew about what happened.

Asmond and Kastor looked at Jeanne and Brynhilde back and forth.

“What’s going on? What are you talking about, Miss Jeanne?” Kastor asked.

Jeanne kept staring at Brynhilde and then she nodded up. “Ask her, she might give you an answer,”

“It’s a waste of time to tell you about what really happened,” Brynhilde said as she walked toward the castle and unsheathed both of her swords. “It’s better for you to see it for yourself, and I think it’s time for me to face my mistake,”

Mykel stared at Brynhilde as she walked past him and then they all followed her into the castle.

Brynhilde stood in front of a giant door in the middle of the castle, by the look of it, the door would lead them into a throne room. She opened the door so slowly and it made an eerie creaking sound, then she looked at a red-haired woman in a white dress sitting on the throne with her eyes closed under the moonlight.

For a woman to be on her own in a clean white dress with no wounds or injuries on her body was enough to tell that something was wrong with her.

The woman slowly opened her eyes and smiled the moment she saw Brynhilde.

“You finally showed yourself, Prince Brynhilde,” The woman said as she rested her hands on the armrest.

“Princess Vigdis,” Brynhilde replied as she held her swords tightly.
