Destroying My Own Novel

Asmond looked around at the piles of dead bodies from the fight. The fight only lasted for ten minutes, but the number of casualties were beyond his expectations. Hundreds of Awakeners, the people that he knew, all of them were dead. The people he shared his feelings and emotions with, were gone, and he wished that he had his [Void Sanctuary] available.

Everyone in that room got hit by a reality check that they were nothing compared to Mykel's team. They thought they would be safe if they followed them, but it turned out they were walking into their own death. After realizing it and how they regretted it, they all wanted to go back and didn't want to waste their lives.

"Are you planning to bring them all back to life," Roxanne asked.

Asmond nodded his head and immediately shouted to the Awakeners that wanted to leave, "Everyone! Please hear me out for a moment!". "I have something to tell you guys," Asmond continued as he looked them in the eyes.

Asmond told them about his ability to bring the dead back to life. Of course, some of them didn't believe him since he had never used that skill before. He didn't want people to be depending on him, and to see which of them would follow him because of their own interests, not because of his skill.

They waited for four days as Asmond promised, and when his [Void Sanctuary] skill could be used, he immediately told everyone about it. They had preserved the dead bodies so they wouldn't rot, and the moment he brought the dead to life, everyone was terrified by his power.

People started calling him a Saint and after he proved his words and ability, he asked them to keep climbing the tower with him. He proposed that all the mages should help bring everyone up into the hole. He believed it was the fastest way and the best way to reach the top.

Asmond managed to convince them, and they weren't afraid of dying anymore knowing they could be brought to life again. They all then agreed with what he proposed and went up through the hole to catch up with Jeanne and her team.

Jeanne and the others were resting in the hall because Elena was sleepy. She wanted to sleep and they all had to obey her request since it was as Aurea said back then that they were going to babysit Elena.

Elena was angry when she realized all the demons that existed on the floors she went past weren't going to follow them. She was mad at Aurea since the reason she joined was that she wanted to defeat all the demons, not just the Demon Lords.

"She didn't even use much strength to do all that right? But she wants to take a nap..." Rozan looked at Elena who was sleeping on Jeanne's lap. "Right... she's basically still a baby, isn't she? Does that mean if someone is trying to hit on her, they're going to get charged since she's a minority..." Rozan pointed out as he looked at Sven.

"That's right, and the one they're going to deal with isn't the police or the authorities, but Mykel himself. He's going to erase those people who're staring at Elena's butt," Lillith nodded her head as she glanced at Sven.

"Can you guys not say that? I'm not even interested in her, okay?" Sven said as he looked at Rozan and Lillith.

"Hmm? So you're saying she's unattractive and ugly? I should tell her that once she wakes up," Aurea asked as she chuckled mischievously.

Sven scratched his head in frustration, but suddenly they felt a tremendous amount of aura coming toward them. They all immediately looked at the dark hallway that connected to the next hall. They wondered who that might be because the demons didn't have that amount of killing intent.

"Is it the Demon Lord's servants?" Nagy asked Gerrard since he could see in the distance and in the dark.

"I can't see it," Gerrard shook his head.

In fact, they all couldn't see what was coming toward them, and even Edith used her [Guardian Spirits] to protect and check the area, the spirits were too scared. They were thinking if the demon that was coming toward them was a spirit type that they couldn't see. Aurea decided to go and have a look since Jeanne didn't want to wake Elena up from her lap.

Aurea walked into the hallway, and suddenly a breeze of wind struck her face. She felt something just fly past her, and when she turned around, she didn't see anything. Her instinct told her to go back because the strong killing intent had passed her.

"It's coming toward you guys! Be careful!" Aurea shouted as she spread her wings and flew toward them.

Rozan created a wind barrier to prevent whatever came toward them, but the barrier got dispersed so easily. He immediately cast a fireball and pointed it toward the side where the barrier got dispersed. He threw the fireball and hit something in its way. Everyone could see the flame floating in the air and heard a loud screech.

"It's your chance! Go and hit that thing!" Rozan shouted as he created ice spears from thin air.

Gerrard was the first one to shoot his arrow with hellfire coated on the arrowhead, but the arrow just flew past it, although, the hellfire hit the demon. Sven and the others swung their weapons at the fire, but their attacks went through and clashed with each other's weapons.

"Hold on! Let me try something," Rozan said as he grabbed something from his pocket. It was a gemstone but it had been engraved with the runic word that Njord had taught him. "Manifest!" Rozan pointed the runic gemstone at the floating flame.

The runic gemstone started to produce light like a flashlight, and then they could see the demon. His whole body was made of almost transparent membranes, and his body was like a cloak and a hood that covered his whole body. He had long transparent claws with no legs since he floated above the ground. The demon seemed to be in pain from the fire, and that was enough to tell what his weakness was.

"What the fuck is that thing," Sven asked as he watched the demon being burned alive by hellfire.

"Well, whatever it is, it can only be hit with magic or hellfire. Since you guys can light your weapon in hellfire, that shouldn't be a problem," Rozan answered and watched the demon slowly turn into mist and disappear. "Since that thing isn't a Demon Lord's servant, that means we are going to face them more from here on out," Rozan looked at the dark hallway.

"You don't have to warn us about it. We can sense them already..." Gunnar said as he stared at the dark hallway.

Rozan used the runic gemstone again to reveal the demons while the others lit them with [Hellfire]. Jeanne was staring into the distance and made sure Elena didn't get bothered by the noises.

The battle lasted for hours Elena woke up from her nap and saw everyone fighting demons. She immediately joined them and flew past Rozan and Gerrad.

"It's a spirit! You can kill them with a physical attack!" Rozan shouted at Elena.

Elena didn't care and jumped over Gunnar's head as she kicked the demon. They were surprised that she could hit a spirit and she killed it in a single kick just like that. They were confused as to how she could do that and decided to observe her as she dealt with the remaining demons. Not only that, she could tell where the demons were even without Rozan's runic gemstone.

They watched as every move Elena made was similar to Mykel's and not only that, every time she hit those demons, something faint like gold dust appeared from her fists or feet. The dust was the life energy that she used, and it was the reason why she could hit those demons with her bare fists and feet. They knew Elena's power, and they finally understood what her power actually could do.

Elena killed all of them in five minutes, and she looked satisfied to be able to move around a lot because the demons could fly around. She landed next to Jeanne with a big grin on her face and leaned her head on Jeanne's shoulder while Jeanne praised her for her hard work.

"Elena, how did you see those demons?" Rozan asked.

"Hm? I can see their life energy with my eyes, that's all," Elena answered.

"Does that mean you just punched and kicked their life energy off of their body?" Rozan asked with a shocked expression.

"I don't know. I just kick and punch them," Elena answered.
