Destroying My Own Novel

Everyone attended Kastor’s funeral which was held the day after they cleared the fifteenth floor. They put red flags in all districts to show their respect for Kastor since another great man died. Gustav couldn’t handle his death because seeing his son die first was the last thing he wanted to see.

Lyneth was comforting Gustav with Zherlthsh and Vixelleth stood behind her while Mykel stood all the way back and just watched in the distance. It felt like it had been a while since he talked with Lyneth or the demon princesses, but he didn’t care much since his goal was to gain his [Admin] skill.

“Mykel, can I talk with you for a moment?” Agnez whispered as she stood behind Mykel.

Mykel nodded and followed Agnez outside Kastor’s mansion.

“I want more power,” Agnez said as she looked at people coming into the mansion to pay respect.

“What are you talking about?” Mykel furrowed his eyebrows.

“Beldathiel, she possessed all Mazikeen’s power because Zeth and Vix transferred it from my body to her body. I want Mazikeen’s power back,” Agnez explained with her arms crossed and stared at Mykel through her black sunglasses.

Mykel thought about it and maybe it would be fine since it shouldn’t affect Agnez at all because Mazikeen had become a skill itself. If he was right about it, then she would outmatch Jeanne instantly, but not for long since every time Jeanne killed anything with that sword, she gained more power.

“Let’s try it, but the moment you lose control, I’m going to ask both of them to take back Mazikeen’s power from your body,” Mykel answered as he nodded his head. “Just wait here, I will call Zeth,” Mykel said and then entered the mansion.

Mykel approached Lyneth and everyone was staring at him including Asmond and Enma who were sitting on the bench.

“Lyn, can I borrow Zeth for a moment?” Mykel whispered into Lyneth ear.

Lyneth turned around and stared at Mykel in the eye for quite a while she pursed her lips and nodded with understanding.

“Come with me,” Mykel said to Zherlthsh.

Zherlthsh looked at Mykel and raised her eyebrows but she followed him from behind. The moment they were away from people, she walked next to him and looked at him with curiosity.

“Has something happened? Or do you need something from me?” Zherlthsh asked.

“I need to you bring Agnez and me to your castle, I need to meet Beldathiel,” Mykel answered as he walked outside.

The three of them left the mansion and went into the car to avoid being caught by someone. Zherlthsh opened a portal in the backseat and they teleported to the castle.

“Sister, are you awake?” Zherlthsh said as she entered Beldathiel’s chamber.

Beldathiel didn’t respond and she was facing the left side of the bed as always, she seemed to be asleep. Zherlthsh looked stared at her as she tilted her head, and then Beldathiel suddenly groaned weakly.

“Hmm,” Beldathiel hummed as exhaled deeply and opened her eyes slowly. “I can feel a presence of a God here,” Beldathiel stared at Mykel from the corner of her eyes.

“Is that bothering you?” Mykel asked as he dragged a chair and put it right in front of Beldathiel.

“No, should I congratulate you instead?” Beldathiel stared at Mykel with a slight smile.

Mykel just scoffed as he crossed his legs and lit his cigarette.

“So, what this is all about, Mykel? Why do you want me to bring you here to meet my sister?” Zherlthsh asked as she sat next to Beldathiel on the bed.

“I came here for Mazikeen’s power, I want you to give it back to her,” Mykel answered as he pointed at Agnez and puffed the cigarette.

“You want to give all her power into Agnez’s body? That’s dangerous for her and it will be dangerous to our sister as well since she made a pact with her. If she dies, our sister might die as well, and I don’t think we should try it,” Zherlthsh said as she looked at Agnez.

“I believe both of them will be fine, just try it first and if it didn’t go well, you can transfer it back to Beldathiel,” Mykel replied as he looked at Beldathiel. “Remember, I’m your master and you can’t disobey my words if I’m ordering you,” Mykel warned and stared at them.

“I’m too lazy to argue moreover to disobey your words,” Beldathiel yawned and covered her mouth with the back of her hand. “Come here, Agnez, I will give Mazikeen her power back,” Beldathiel looked at Agnez.

Beldathiel stared at Agnez standing in front of her and then she grabbed Agnez’s hand.

“This might be a bit painful, so please endure it,” Beldathiel said and started to transfer Mazikeen’s power into Agnez’s body.

Agnez was staring at her hand and she felt nothing, Beldathiel was quite confused that Agnez didn’t feel a thing. She thought it might be because she transferred the power little by little, but when she let it flow naturally, Agnez still didn’t feel anything.

“Don’t you feel anything?” Beldathiel asked with a puzzled look.

“No, I don’t feel a thing,” Agnez shook her head.

“Huh, interesting. I don’t think it’s because of the pact you made,” Beldathiel said as she looked at Agnez’s arm. “You know about this already, don’t you?” Beldathiel looked at Mykel with her eyes squinted.

“Not entirely, just a guess,” Mykel answered.

“It’s done now, Mazikeen has her power back. I wonder why you need it back,” Beldathiel said as she removed her hand from Agnez’s wrist.

Mykel just raised his eyebrows and then looked at Agnez. “How do you feel now?”

Agnez smiled and started to chuckle as she stared at the notification in front of her.

“My [Demonic Possession] skill just leveled up to ten immediately and it upgraded into a new skill,” Agnez answered as she looked at Mykel. “It’s called [Demonic Manifestation],” Agnez continued as she stared at the details of the skill.

“What kind of skill is that?” Mykel squinted his eyes and looked at Agnez with curiosity.

“I’m not sure as well, but let me try to use it,” Agnez said and then activated [Demonic Manifestation].

Agnez’s skin turned grey and then it cracked open like dried soil with a glowing purple light appearing from inside the crack all over her body. Her claws became black, long, and sharp like a demon, and then her face changed as well with all her teeth becoming sharp. Her eyes glowed purple and her ears became pointy, a pair of horns came out from her forehead and it was sharp as a spearhead with her short black hair.

“It’s been a while since I can see my own body again,” Agnez’s voice became a bit deeper and hoarse. “So this is what your body looks like?” Agnez said but this time it was her real voice.

Agnez and Mazikeen were talking to each other back and forth using the same mouth but different voices. Mykel stared at her and was interested in the possibility of the [Demonic Manifestation] skill, he thought about something and got a nice idea.

“Look at me, Mykel, do you think I look nice?” Agnez asked as she stood in front of Mykel with a voice that sounded familiar to him.

Mykel looked at Agnez and noticed that she changed into a different person entirely. Not just a random person, but she looked exactly like Lyneth with the same voice as hers.

“I think I can use this to fool someone,” Agnez said as she chuckled mischievously and sat on top of Mykel. “Do you like it?” Agnez asked as she bit her lips using Lyneth’s face.
