Destroying My Own Novel

Hanessi was free-falling and hit the ground so hard that she was buried into the ground. He recovered almost in an instant and flew back up, but Aurea was already right in front of him with her fist ready to punch her face. Hanessi couldn't dodge it, so he blocked it with both hands and hoped Aurea's hand melted by the [Celestial King Aura].

Aurea pushed Hanessi down to the ground again and didn't stop until they reached the place where all the souls were tortured. Hanessi managed to melt Aurea's hand, but he was still going down and drowned in lava.

Beldathiel and her sisters followed them down the hole. They watched Hanessi climb up as Jeanne's armor was slowly being devoured by lava. They were amazed that he could survive and endure everything with only his regeneration ability.

"He's still as powerful as he possessed Jeanne's body. Looks like physical attacks won't be enough to tire him out," Vixelleth said as she stared at Jeanne's naked body.

"Angra, it's your turn," Beldathiel said as she looked at Angra floating next to her.

Angra roared and slowly made his body grow bigger, and then he flew toward Hanessi without hesitation. He flew past Aurea and pounced at Hanessi with all his might, but Hanessi was stronger than him and turned the situation immediately.

"What is it now? A divine creature but doesn't have a divine power or energy?" Hanessi asked as he sat on top of Angra and pushed him down.

Angra struggled and managed to cut Hanessi's throat with his left paw, and then kicked him away.

Hanessi chuckled, but suddenly his chuckle stopped as the blood kept dripping and it made him hard to breathe. He slowly put his left hand on his neck and felt a pain which he never had felt before. Not only that, the wound didn't heal at all which made him so confused.

"Is he running out of his power?" Glasya asked.

"No, his divine aura is still as strong as ever. I just said that earlier," Vixelleth replied as she looked at Hanessi with a confused look.

Angra growled as the flame on his paws and tail grew fiercer. It was the most powerful ability that the real Angra Mainyu had in mythology. A power not only to damage the physical body, but also the soul. Corrupting their purity into impurity with his skill called [Reverse Purgatory]. An ability that was strong against the soul with overwhelming purity.

Beldathiel smiled and chuckled. "Now I know why Mykel want us to bring him," Beldathiel said.

"But Angra is too weak, Aurea have to give him an opening," Kiersha said.

"Did you hear that, Aurea?" Nefarath asked.
"I'm not deaf. I'll do just that," Aurea spread her wings and then flew toward Hanessi.

Aurea kept attacking Hanessi and gave Angra openings as much as she could. It was impossible for Hanessi to protect himself against two of dangerous opponents. One who could tire his power with brute force, and the other one could hurt his soul with just a single scratch.

Mykel informed Beldathiel that Jeanne was unharmed and wasn't affected by Angra's [Reverse Purgatory] skill. Her soul was unharmed thanks to Hanessi who casted away her soul from her body. Although her soul was unharmed, she could still feel the pain, but she had no other choice but to endure it.

With that information, it was a great sign that it would be possible for Jeanne to swallow Hanessi's soul just like Mykel swallowed Lucifer's soul. All they had to do was to keep weakening Hanessi's soul and tire his power out.

Hanessi was slowly but surely being cornered and got weaker every time Angra landed a hit on his body. The [Celestial King Aura] became weaker so that it could no longer melt Aurea's skin and flesh. The other sisters decided to join in the fight and gave more opening to Angra.

It looked promising and Kiersha was confident with the plan because her snake could pull Jeanne's soul back.

"I'm amazed, Princess," Zasalamel said as he watched the battle from the distance. "I would never imagine the Princesses have become a lot stronger and even stronger that their fathers. Do we really have a chance to survive now?" Zasalamel asked.

Beldathiel looked at Zasalamel and wondered why he suddenly asked that question so suddenly.

"You're one of the first powerful beings that Lucifer created. The only one who have an open mind was my father, so I'm going to ask your opinion about the current situation," Beldathiel said and didn't bother to look back at Zasalamel.

"I have no opinion and I won't dare to say anything because I was created to take care of the damned souls," Zasalamel replied.

"Even if it's about us, the Demon Princesses becoming a servant of a God?" Beldathiel asked.

"We are all a servant to a God, always has been since the moment we were created we served a God, His highness Lucifer. Now we are serving a new God which is Her highness Luciel," Zasalamel answered.

Beldathiel chuckled and smiled since he was right about it. She almost forgot who created them and who he was.

"To answer your question, I hope I can give you the answer soon," Beldathiel said as she looked up.

(In the Hall of Arcana)

The silence was so eerie with the Void Clouds covering the whole hall. Mykel was silently smoking his cigarette and stared blankly in the distance while Mara was deep in thought.

"Playing God to those mortals is fun, but nothing last forever," Mykel said as he stood up and puffed the smoke. "That's how it should be, but not if I interfere," Mykel looked at Mara with the cigarette in his mouth.

"Aren't you curious? About my memories that you can't read?" Mykel asked.

Mara glanced at Mykel and it was the main reason why she wanted to capture him. She had been interested in him ever since she couldn't read his memories because the system prevented her from seeing it.

"What if I tell you that I have a knowledge behind the system that made you unable to see it? That's why the system doesn't want you to know," Mykel asked as he leaned against the table. "You have been wonder why you can't summon me with the system help as well, right? Aren't you curious?" Mykel asked again and made Mara more and more curious about him.

"You have been luring me with those scheming words of yours. You're willing to give me a piece of information in exchange for my approval of your proposal, isn't that what you're trying to do?" Mara asked and stared at Mykel with a sharp gaze.

"I came from another world," Mykel said.

Mykel's words caught Mara off guard and she slightly raised her eyebrows unconsciously.

"I came from a world called Earth, but not the same Earth I'm living right now," Mykel continued and stared back with a serious expression.

Mykel read Mara's thoughts who ran wild from the information he gave her. She didn't know whether to believe him or not. He wasn't bothered with the thoughts she was having because as long as there was a doubt, it was good enough.

"(Mykel, it's going to end soon. Hanessi has exhausted most of his power and it's only about time until he collapse from exhaustion)" Beldathiel said.




"(Don't get too careless. He still have one last thing under his sleeve. When the time comes, tell Nephilim to use it)" Mykel replied.

"(Yes, we are carefully follow your instruction. How's the situation over there?)" Beldathiel asked.

"(I'm almost done here as well. I manage to buy you enough time. I guess I have bought you more than enough)" Mykel answered as he read Mara's [Character] story.

"That's all I can give you right now. If you're interested in listening to my past, I'll tell you the rest once we see each other again, but that's if you agreed with my proposal," Mykel said as he walked away. "I'll be waiting for what kind of response you're going to give. Until then, I'll use the time to clear all the towers and end this game," Mykel continued.

Mara squinted her eyes and judgingly stared at Mykel. Mykel suddenly stopped and turned around to look at her for one last time.

"Time is ticking, Goddess Mara," Mykel said with a blank face. His tone was enough to tell he was threatening her, and then warped away.
