Destroying My Own Novel-Chapter 473 472: New Roles.
Everyone was enjoying their wine and food at the round table except for Jeanne who was on her own at one of the tables in the hall. She was playing with Sasha and Elena because she heard enough of the discussion and decided to walk out.
"Aren't you a Goddess now? Why are you staying here on your own?" Beldathiel asked as she sat on the other side of the table.
"I thought it would feel different, but I guess I'm still a human inside. I feel like I don't belong with them in some aspects," Jeanne smiled pitifully as she swirled the cup of wine in her hand.
"Isn't that a good thing? You're not as heartless as us," Beldathiel asked with a smile as she rested her chin on her hands on the table. "But that's how it is. Most of them became a God and a Goddess because they survived their own hell because they only trust each other," Beldathiel explained.
"I guess you're right, but that's not the main reason why I'm here by myself. I just don't feel like joining them in that discussion anymore because I'm not a Constellation. I prefer to play with Sasha and Elena, that's all," Jeanne answered and drank her wine.
Beldathiel hummed as she tilted her head on the table and stared Jeanne in the eye. "Is there anything else you want to talk about? You can call me the most normal being compared to everyone in here," Beldathiel smiled.
Jeanne started to open up and ended up having a casual conversation that attracted the other Demon Princesses, Aurea, and even Lyneth. Mykel then heard their laughter and attracted his attention. He observed them and thought of something until he finally decided to approach them.
"A table full of beautiful women, I was wondering what you guys are talking about," Mykel asked as he stood behind Jeanne's chair.
"Hmm? This is a girl's talk, so you don't have to know," Beldathiel teased with a smile. "Right, Jeanne?" Beldathiel giggled as she stared at Jeanne.
Mykel raised his eyebrows and tilted his head to look at Jeanne's flustered face. She was blushing and trying to hide her face from Mykel.
"We are talking about a woman tricking a man. Unfortunately, Jeanne didn't agree with what we said because she believed tricking a man to gain something is wrong," Aurea said and teased Jeanne more by giggling at her. "How can she act and think like that when she's okay to have a threesome and even a foursome," Aurea continued and kept staring Jeanne in the eye.
"It's wrong? I don't think it's wrong as long as it's not something that would hurt the man she want to get tricked," Mykel said as he leaned against the table. "Sometimes man loves to be tricked as long as both parties are enjoying it," Mykel continued with a smile.
"I remember the first time I met Mykel, I tricked him to go to my apartment. That was the best decision of my life," Lyneth said as she rested her cheek on her fist. "If that didn't happen, I wouldn't be here right now. So, tricking a man might give you a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," Lyneth continued.
"Alright, that's enough secret that you can hear, Mykel. If you don't have anything else to say, you should go back to your table," Vixelleth said and drank her wine.
"I came here not just for that, the main reason is I want to tell you guys something," Mykel said as he turned around and rested his hands on the table. "As you have heard earlier. I'm going to destroy all the towers except the Lucifer Tower. With that being said, I'm going to make all of you a new role," Mykel continued as he looked at them all.
"A new role?" Nephilim asked.
Mykel explained it to them in a detailed manner so everyone could understand his plan. They were surprised and couldn't believe that he came up with an idea like that. Even Jeanne and Aurea got their new roles and took them by surprise because those were very important roles.
"That's the plan, but again, it's still far away in the future," Mykel said as he put his hands on top of the two chairs next to him. "For now, just focus on your current role to dominate the Earth through influence," Mykel continued.
"What about the Fraternity Association? How long should I pretend to be that guy's lover?" Kiersha asked.
"With the current situation they're in, they're running out of time," Mykel answered. "About your second question, it's better if we talk about it privately. Also, Lilith, Zherlthsh, and Frigna should join for that," Mykel looked at them with a serious expression.
(Two weeks later)
District 4 had finally been safe from the Insatiable Flies that haunted the whole city thanks to fighter jets. Although the situation had calmed down, the people decided to stay away from District 4 and District 5.
Mykel postponed the plan of defeating Demon King Asmodeus and requested his team to clear the other towers first up to the hundredth floor. In just two weeks, they cleared Samael, Azrael, and Astaroth Towers, but word had spread that the hundredth floor wasn't the final floor.
Roxanne had been contacting Enma in secrecy behind Mykel's back and gave Roxanne a little information. Of course, it was under Mykel's order and he was the one who let the information leak in the first place.
"I never thought we can gain a lot of levels on this floor. This is great and we can stay here for a few days more," Rufus said as he came out of the lake on the 38th floor of the Mahazael Tower.
"This sacred lake is really nice giving us a blessing of Ancient God that doubles our EXP gain for three hours. Not to mention the demons here are so weak and yet rich with EXP," Glen dipped himself in the lake and asked for a blessing from the Ancient God.
Roxanne wasn't interested in the history of the Nucrea World because she was more curious about the information that Enma gave her. She had been away for a week since they entered Nucrea World and couldn't wait to get a piece of new information about Mykel's dark secrets. 𝘧𝚛𝗲𝘦𝚠𝙚𝙗𝙣o𝙫𝗲𝚕.𝐜o𝓂
"Hey, Asmond," Roxanne approached Asmond after he put on his armor. "We can't be here for too long, I'm afraid the next Breakout will happen soon," Roxanne said and she looked anxious.
"Why should we? We are here to kill the Demon Lord, so why bother leaving when we can do it now?" Rufus asked. 𝙛𝑟𝑒e𝘸𝑒𝗯𝘯𝗼𝘃el.𝒄𝒐m
"Don't you realize it's now pointless to clear the towers? The Guild Association cleared the seventieth floor back then not long before the breakout happened. They have cleared all the towers and yet all the districts we're invaded by demons," Roxanne answered as she attached her scabbard and sword to her belt.
"So? What do you want to do? Go back and do nothing? We have an opportunity to grow stronger here and why should we waste it? We can stay here for as long as we want and we can leave when a breakout happens," Rufus looked at Roxanne and started to be aggressive.
"Doing nothing? Are you being fucking serious? We have a lot of things to handle! Districts Four and Five are dead! People lost their homes and yet you don't even think about it?!" Roxanne yelled.
The others sighed and they were sick and tired of the quarrels between those two. They didn't know which side they wanted to take because both of them weren't wrong. They decided to ignore it and let it happen while at the same time, they hoped Asmond could resolve it on his own.
"That's enough," Asmond said quietly, but both of them were still arguing. "I said that's enough!" Asmond shouted and his voice echoed throughout the lake.
Both of them finally became quiet.
"If you want to stay, go ahead and stay, but you have to keep rising your level and skills. If you want to go back, then go and help the people who are in need of help," Asmond said as he held his forehead because his head was throbbing.
"Are you going to stay or go back, Asmond?" Glen asked.
"I'm going back because I had gained a lot of levels and raised my skills level. I'm planning to go back soon anyway," Asmond answered. "Those who want to go back follow me," Asmond said as he turned around.
Nobody followed Asmond except for Roxanne.
"Hey, Roxanne," Rufus said. "You said that we are all holding Asmond back. Now, what's this? Telling him to go back because of your own personal interest? You're one hypocrite and annoying bitch, you know that?" Rufus said it without hesitation or guilt.
Everyone was petrified and stared at Rufus with their eyes and mouths wide open. On the other hand, Roxanne didn't bother to look back and kept walking away as she clenched her fists so tightly. Asmond glanced at Rufus for a second and then decided to keep walking.
"You just went overboard this time, Rufus," Silas said and he didn't like what Rufus said.
"I don't care, just focus on leveling up here because we are going to help Asmond deal with the breakout, not like that bitch. I don't care what you guys are thinking, but this is the only best thing we can do not only for ourselves but also for Asmond's sake," Rufus answered and decided to dip himself in the lake again.
"We have to get stronger if we want to protect the people. That's the only way in this kind of world," Rufus said and he looked determined.
