Destroying My Own Novel

“Are you okay, Edith?” Agnez asked as she groaned in pain with injuries all over her body. She tried to stand up to lean on debris but she couldn’t because she broke so many bones thanks to Mykel.

Edith groaned weakly as she looked at Agnez’s arms that were on Edith’s back but she was also injured from all that. She looked at Agnez laying on the ground and decided to get up to treat her even though it was painful for her as well.

“Open your mouth,” Edith said as she tried to pour the [Health Potion] into Agnez’s mouth with her trembling hand.

Agnez and Edith were staying there and didn’t move since they needed to rest and let their body recover first. While they were resting, they heard footsteps that came from in front of them and it was Mykel who approached them.

“I miss calculated, I should have given you ten minutes to run away,” Mykel said as he sat down next to them.

“It doesn’t matter even if you give us half an hour because we will end up like this as well,” Agnez replied as she looked at Mykel with her eyes barely open.

Mykel scoffed as he looked at his hand and he wasn’t satisfied with the power he possessed right now. Compared to Ares, the God of War, he could destroy a whole continent and that alone proved that he wasn’t strong enough to fight Nyx head-on, especially Mara.

Skills alone wouldn’t exceed the power of the Constellations and it Mykel knew about it already. Sure he could modify everything with his [Admin] skill but it didn’t help him much because of the limitation of authority. If he waited until his [Admin] skill to its max level, it would be too late and his life would be over at that time.

“You look troubled,” Agnez said as she tried to sit up and Mykel helped her to lean on the debris. “What is it? You’re not satisfied with your power?” she asked jokingly as she chuckled weakly.

“Something like that,” Mykel answered and Agnez immediately stared at him without saying a word.

After an hour of resting, the three of them decided to go back and meet up with the others.

Gunnar and the others were wandering around the city and checked on the damages from the earthquake. Jeanne looked at Mykel carrying Edith in his arms while Agnez walked next to him covered in wounds.

“Agnez! Edith!” Jeanne raised her voice and ran toward them. “What happened to you guys?” she asked as she helped Agnez walk.

“Ask him, he blew the whole area down,” Agnez answered with a smirk on her face. “Anyway, let’s go back home, Mykel said that we should go back now,”

Gunnar looked at Mykel and raised his hand. “What are we going to do with these two, boss?” he asked as he looked at the two Awakeners that he captured when they tried to run away after they regained their consciousness.

“Let them be, they have nowhere to go anyway. If they go to the next floor, they’re going to die,” Mykel answered. “Come on, let’s go home,” he said as he walked toward the portal.

All of them nodded and followed him to the portal and went back to their world.

They left the Azrael tower and it looked so empty, not a single Awakeners were waiting in line like usual. Gunnar and the others looked at each other with confusion but they didn’t say a word and immediately enter the car.

On their way to the airport, they saw red flags everywhere.

“What’s with the red flags? Did something happen while we are clearing the eleventh floor?” Gunnar asked as he looked out the window.

The driver looked at Gunnar through the rearview mirror. “Everyone is griefing, Mister Gunnar,”

“Griefing? Did something bad happen?” Gunnar asked and the others were curious about it as well.

“Ceasar Ceras has passed away,” The driver answered.

“What?!” Everyone said the same thing and looked at the driver with disbelief even Agnez was shocked to hear that news.

“What happened?! Did he die in a tower?!” Jeanne asked with confusion.

“I don’t know the details, but he died in his bedroom apartment,” The driver answered.

All of them were looking at each other with confusion and immediately grabbed their phone to check what really happened.

Mykel was in the other car with Edith and they both heard the news as well from the driver. Edith who was in a bad condition immediately stood straight and grabbed her phone to check the details of Caesar’s death.

The moment they went back to District 1, all of them went to the Guild Association building to ask Lyneth about what happened. Everyone was grieving as the driver said and the whole building was empty until the receptionist who stayed told them that Lyneth was attending the funeral with Zherlthsh and Vixelleth.

All of them went to attend the funeral since it just started because their body was discovered this morning. Kastor used a whole mansion for Caesar so everyone could pay respect to him, and the mansion was big enough that it could be compared to the white palace.

They entered the mansion and Gunnar was the first one to enter the mansion while everyone looked at him weirdly. Mykel and the others followed Gunnar from behind and they were still wearing their armor, even Agnez and Edith hadn’t gotten treatment.

They all watched Mykel and the others with surprised expressions because of how bad their condition was. Jeanne helped Agnez walk while Mykel helped Edith walk through the crowd and they were curious about what happened to those two.

Lyneth and Kastor heard the commotion from the other room and decided to look at who was making the commotion. They watched Mykel and the others into the room and they were shocked by their condition.

“What happened to them?!” Lyneth asked Mykel as she walked hurriedly toward them.

“We were clearing the eleventh floor and things happened but everyone is fine,” Mykel answered as he looked at Lyneth. “Can you hold Edith for me? I want to pay my respect to Caesar,” he said as he slowly removed his hand from Edith’s waist.

Vixelleth looked at Mykel and didn’t show any expression and they were staring for quite a while until Mykel stood next to Kastor whose eyes were red and looked so depressed.

“What happened?” Mykel asked and pretended to act weak.

Kastor sighed and shook his head weakly. “We don’t know yet but he was murdered in his sleep,” he answered and he clenched both of his hands so tightly.

“Have they found out the one who killed him?” Mykel asked as he looked at Caesar’s dead body that they had to put the head back on and glued it back. They put on makeup on his neck to hide the scar on his neck, he was quite amazed by it.

“We couldn’t find any evidence on who killed him, we checked the footage but nobody entered the apartment nor went to his room after he entered the room,” Kastor answered as he held his tears. “We believe the killer was inside his room but we couldn’t find anything because he was coming in and out of his room,” he continued and started to sniffle.

Mykel took a deep breath and exhaled deeply as he walked closer to Caesar’s coffin to look at him. “Do you think it was them?” he asked and showed a sorrowful face to Kastor.

Kastor’s expression from sadness turned into anger as he gritted his teeth that his jaw muscles were popping out. “I don’t know but we have some suspicion that they could be the one who killed him, but we don’t have enough evidence,” he answered.

“Do you really need evidence? Our friend here is laying inside a coffin, do you think that’s going to stop me from seeking revenge?” Mykel asked as he grabbed the coffin and almost break it with his grip.

Kastor stared at Mykel and shook his head. “No, we don’t need anyone’s permission. Let’s find the bastard who killed him and I swear to God that I will give him the same painful death!” he said and his voice echoed throughout the room everyone immediately looked at him.

Mykel nodded and grabbed Kastor’s shoulder, Mykel shook Kastor’s shoulder gently as he stared at him. “Just call me if you find anything, I will come to your aid,” he said with his trembling voice.

“I will, I don’t care if they’re going to beg for forgiveness because I’m not going to be the one who shows any mercy,” Kastor replied as he nodded his head with his whole body trembling in anger.

“That’s right, the killer should be still around here,” Mykel said as he stared at Vixelleth and tried his best to hold his smile.
