Destroying My Own World

"It was three against one..." Luciel paused as she let her body regenerate as she stared at Mykel who had been unscratched ever since he lost his arms. "Then it was four against one..." Luciel continued as she looked at Amaryllis who was standing next to Elena. "And now six against one," Luciel added as she looked at Jeanne and Aurea who joined the sparring.

"I know that Mykel is strong, but I never thought he would be stronger than Elena," Aurea said as she looked at her blood sword that had gotten brittle because of Mykel. "What did he discover in the past week? He's hiding it from us, huh?" Aurea asked Amaryllis.

Amaryllis didn't say anything since Mykel didn't want them to know what he had put inside him. She also wanted them to fight their best to fight Mykel because he was a good measure of everyone's survivability later on.

"You know what? Let's bring everyone here," Mykel said as he looked at them.

Mykel snapped his fingers and brought everyone to the void realm, and they were so confused why they suddenly were brought there. Some of them had no idea where they were, and they felt a bit eerie about the place. When they looked at Mykel who was on the other side while the rest were standing next to each other, they realized what was going on.

"Your job is to fight him, and if you're strong enough to make him bleed, you have passed the test," Amaryllis said as she looked at them. "This is a fight-or-die situation, and that means you have to be careful because he's not going to hesitate to make you feel pain," Amaryllis pointed out. "Of course, I will be joining you guys, and I'm going to bring you all back to life if you died. So, good luck," Amaryllis added.

Looking at everyone that was there, Jeanne felt like it would be appropriate for her to use [Modesty] skill. She spread her wings and wrapped everyone in it then gave them the same amount of strength that she possessed. Everyone could feel the power running through their veins, and they didn't hesitate to use their new skills to fight Mykel.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Aurea activated [Atrocity] skill and that resonated with her true form that made her nothing like a demon or angel. She grew bigger and bigger so that her presence itself was like Mara where she had become as big as the void realm itself. That made everyone look at her with terrified look because she had a purple halo on top of her head and glowing purple eyes with her wings that were made of her own muscles.

She was so big that she could easily clap the sun with her palms and make it disappear. If she used her maximum true form, she could destroy the whole earth when she transformed. She might be the biggest thing everyone had ever seen so far, and it looked like she could still get bigger.

While everyone was still in shock about Aurea's appearance, Jeanne could feel the power inside her getting amplified. She felt an itch just like what Mykel felt back then in the meeting room, so she decided to go and give it a go.

Jeanne broke through the barriers that Mykel created, and it shocked Elena and Luciel because they both had to do it together to do so. Looking at how it was so easy for her made both of them jealous of her power.

Jeanne swung her sword faster than the speed of light, and she managed to make a few cuts on Mykel's body. She already passed the test, but she wanted more than just a cut, but before she could do more, Mykel grabbed the sword and shattered it into pieces.

"You're my favorite after all," Mykel said as he looked at Jeanne. "So I'm not going to make it easy on you," Mykel added and threw a punch right on her stomach.

Jeanne was the first one who could withstand Mykel's punch even though it was so painful for her. She suddenly grabbed his hand as she threw a punch back at Mykel, but he dodged it. She then threw a knee on Mykel's chest as she kept holding his hand.

Although she was the one who kneed him, she was the one who felt the pain and could hear her knee crack. She ignored it and kept pushing her knee deep into his chest, and finally, she managed to send him away from her.

A giant hand just flew in and punched Mykel which startled Jeanne because she never thought Aurea could move so fast with that giant body of hers. Mykel managed to block it, but before he could push the hand away, another hand came and tried to crush him.

Mykel was slowly being crushed and he was surprised that he could be in that kind of situation. Since he was already in that situation, he wanted to check how strong Aurea's strength was.

"Die..." Aurea's voice could be heard in Mykel's ears.

Mykel looked up as he held the giant hands next to him, and he felt like something inside him was trying to come out. He had enough of it and released an energy burst to push everything away from him.

Aurea's hands exploded into small pieces, and when she looked for Mykel because he disappeared, she felt a heavy pressure on her chest. When she looked down he saw Mykel already on her chest and threw a punch at her back kick at her.

The top half of Aurea's body was pulled off because of Mykel's kick which sent it away into the distance. Watching Aurea's upper body which was bigger than Earth itself could be sent away like that made them rethink about their strength.

"It's too late because you're already here. You can die painfully, or fight," Mykel said as he looked down at them.

Elena and Luciel appeared right next to Mykel, but he already knew their tricks and grabbed them by the necks. Suddenly Lillith, Nagy, Bhatmelec, and Brynhilde appeared around him, but the barriers prevented them from attacking him.

It was hard for them until Sven and the others decided to join in, and then they managed to break all the barriers. It was a bit overwhelming for Mykel to fight them at the same time, but he wanted to train his reflexes and awareness so he let them all fight him at the same time.

Mykel tried to remember each of the skills that Amaryllis gave them. He remembers that Rozan was given [Inquisitiveness] skill that amplified his magic and any of his creations. He and Shelly had the same skill, and they both were extremely dangerous when ignored because their magic and homunculus were too powerful.

Sven got [Impetuous] skill which made him have an ultra instinct that made him invincible and boosted all his powers, but compared to Mykel's power, he couldn't react to almost all Mykel's movements. Even so, he could be on the same footing for a moment with Mykel. Read exclusive content at empire

Vincze got [Prudent] skill which made him see the possible futures, and it was a lot stronger than what Anastasia had, the [Fifth Virtue: Patience] skill. Not only could he see the future, his skills resonated with it and could be adjusted when he fought a tougher opponent.

Gunnar got [Resilience] skill and he became an embodiment of impenetrable walls. Mykel was surprised when he punched him but he could handle it just like Jeanne. Gunnar wasn't in pain as well because he lost his sense of pain because of it, just like the [Second Virtue: Temperance] skill that Luis had but better.

Gerrard had [Restive] skill which was quite the opposite of his personality, but Amaryllis gave it to him because she believed it was the best for him. The skill made him able to feel, hear, and see things that nobody else could do, and because of that, he could manipulate anything around him like strings that he could pull, release, and cut.

Mykel was busy fighting, but then suddenly his fists couldn't be clenched. He felt like every muscle inside his hands was being pulled, and then he looked at Gerrard who tried to sabotage him by controlling his hands.

"String of fate? Is that what you called it?" Mykel asked as he looked at Gerrard.

"Yes," Gerrard answered.

"Impressive, but not good enough," Mykel clenched his fists and made Gerrard lose the strings. "You need to do more than just that," Mykel said and then shot a [Sacrilege Flame] right on Gerrard's face and melted his head in an instant.
