Destroying My Own Novel

Chapter 411 410: Determined.



"Did we just go all the way down to the tenth floor in less than an hour?" Gunnar asked as he looked up and saw the giant hole that they came from. "But looks like the homeowners are pissed now, and following us here," Gunnar raised his shield and held his battle axe so tightly.

Everyone readied their stances as they heard the screeches, roars, and growls of the demons from above them. Suddenly a loud banging sound could be heard from behind them, and it was Agnez who kicked the giant steel doors open.

"What are you doing, Agnez?!" Rozan asked.

"It would be a waste, all those gemstones. You said you\'re keeping them for me, right? Then I shouldn\'t waste it and kill Alkael now," Agnez looked at him over her left shoulder.

"Wait! What about the demons?!" Rozan shouted.

"I\'m not the leader, so every man of himself," Agnez smiled and flew into the hall where Alkael waited for their arrival.

"Tsk! You guys go with Agnez! I\'ll deal with these demons on my own!" Rozan said as he walked to the back and cast earth spikes on the ground right below the giant hole. "Mykel needs his Constellations Points, so if he only got Agnez\'s point, he would be pissed. Go now before it\'s too late!" Rozan shouted and sent his dragons near the hole.

Gunnar and the others looked at each other for a moment, and then they all hurriedly entered the hall to get the notification. It was as Rozan said. The moment they entered the hall and got the notification, Agnez already cut an angel-like demon with long bird legs.

Luckily, they were in time and got the [Arcana Coins] from clearing the fiftieth floor. Rozan and Jeanne didn\'t get them, but it didn\'t matter since they didn\'t need them thanks to Mykel who gave them as many coins as they wanted.

(On the eighth floor)

"Did they really leave me behind?" Jeanne chuckled as she shook her head and closed the notification. "But that\'s good. Bryn can go back home and prepare for her coronation, and I can enjoy my time here until then," Jeanne looked at thousands of demons in front of her. "I\'ll meet your expectations, Mykel," Jeanne readied her stance and then charged forward fearlessly.

(On the sixth floor)

"Holy... they defeated the Demon Lord already?!" Leonard asked in disbelief as he stared at the notification.

"That\'s great! Now we know that we can go back home. Let\'s keep moving!" Louise said as she looked at everyone who looked exhausted. "Come on now! Don\'t you guys want to go home?" Louise smiled and looked at them pitifully.

"We are close to reaching the stairs to the seventh floor. There are three floors left, and we should be able to leave in four days or less if we hurry up!" Leonard said as he helped his friends get up.

Everyone got up and started to jog to the next hall.

A day had passed, and they all reached halfway through the seventh floor. They were stumbled by the giant hole in the ground in front of them. They looked down but it was too dark to see what was below them.

"They dug a hole to the next floor?" Louise stood next to Leonard as they both looked at the dark hole below them. "How far do you think this hole is?" Louise asked.

"Why don\'t you... Go and jump!" Leo was pretending to push her down the hole but pulled her back.

"Leonard you fucking asshole!" Louise yelled so loudly that her voice echoed throughout the hall as she kicked him on the back.

Everyone laughed weakly and it hurt their stomachs because they were empty. They didn\'t remember when the last time they laughed since they entered the Babel Tower.

While they watched Louise chase Leonard, they suddenly heard a loud growl that shook their eardrums. They all looked around and searched for the growling sound came from. They all readied their weapons as the growl got louder and louder.

Arthur looked at the giant hole and slowly moved away. "The sound is coming from the hole! Everyone get away from the hole!" Arthur shouted.

A purple-ish red dragon came out of the hole and landed right next to the hole with his long and sharp teeth. His hot breath was enough to melt their weapons slowly, and they all ran away knowing a dragon existed in the tower.

"Why are you guys running away?" Rozan jumped down from Alpha\'s back.

Leonard, Louise, and Arthur turned around. They saw Rozan resting his hands on his waist as he tilted his head and stared at them with a confused look.

"Aren\'t you guys tired and have no food? Come, I\'ll give you a ride," Rozan said as he snapped his fingers and summoned Beta, Charlie, Delta, and Echo. "Hop on, they\'re not going to bite," Rozan patted Alpha\'s head.

"Those are your pet?" Leonard asked as he pointed at Alpha.

"Yeah. Anyway, just hop on because I want to go back to my world," Rozan sighed as he ordered his dragons to lower their heads so they could get on.

All of them carefully and scarily hopped onto the dragons\' heads. They walked up to the dragons\' necks and sat down on their backs.

"Let\'s go," Rozan said as he jumped down into the hole.

Everyone was holding onto the dragons\' scales and screaming their lungs out. They were free falling and scared to fall because they would be dead.

They saw the eighth floor and saw thousands of demon corpses scattered on the ground. They realized all the demons had been massacred by the Guild Association team.

"Jeanne! I\'m heading back first!" Rozan shouted.

They looked at Rozan and observed to whom he was talking and to where his face was looking. They saw Jeanne standing at the edge of the hole with blood covering her body and sword. They couldn\'t tell the color of her hair because it turned black and purple.

"Thanks for picking them up," Jeanne said as Rozan flew down past her. She then walked away as those people watched how clean her back was and the light yellow hair she had.

They reached the bottom of the tower and carefully jumped down from the dragons\' backs. They saw the portal inside the hall and the mutilated body of Alkael in front of it.

"Is that..." Louise asked.

"Huh? Yeah, that\'s Alkael. One of us killed him yesterday," Rozan said as he casually walked past it like it was nothing. "If there\'s nothing else. I\'m leaving," Rozan snapped his fingers and all the dragons got swallowed by the portals that appeared right above them.

"Wait! What\'s out there?" Leonard asked and pointed at the opened doors that led to Gehenna.

"That would be the sixtieth floor. It\'s different from the other floors because you\'re not stuck out there. You can come back here and use this portal to leave whenever you want," Rozan said as he looked at the red soil with boiling lava in the distance. "We have tested it yesterday, so if you want to go out there, just remember your way back," Rozan continued.

"Thank you, Mister! We owe you for saving our lives," Arthur said as he looked at Rozan.

"No problem," Rozan said and then entered the portal.

"Ugh! How can you live like this?! This is so tiring and my ass is sore," Roxanne stretched her arms and they made cracking sounds.

"I know how you feel. I\'m still not getting used to this as well," Asmond smiled as he tidied up the desk and put gave the documents to his assistant. "This isn\'t what I wanted. I\'m just like you and the others who want to go into the tower and explore the worlds to save them. But, this is me now, and I have to deal with it since Kastor entrusted me with his legacy," Asmond sighed and chuckled.

"Well... Since it\'s done now, everyone is waiting for you in the lobby," Roxanne said as she stretched her neck and back.

Asmond hummed, and then they both left the office and went to the lobby.

"What took you so long?" Rufus asked with his spear resting on his shoulders. "Everyone is here and ready to leave," Rufus turned around and saw dozens of Awakeners in front of him.

"Let\'s clear the Mahazael Tower," Asmond said as he nodded his head with understanding.
