Destroying My Own Novel

Rozan used [Multi-Casting] that allowed him to cast various magic at the same time. He protected everyone and always cast magic that was strong against the magic that Astaroth used.

So far, he had managed to piss Astaroth off, and based on the information they got after fighting Astaroth, [Foul-Breath of Death] couldn't be used over and over. They used that information and tried to wear him off because, for some reason, Astaroth couldn't be killed with anything.

"Is he immortal?" Jeanne asked Aurea.

"If he is, then he shouldn't feel inferior to the other Demon Kings. There must be a reason why he can survive even after getting mutilated over and over," Aurea answered and observed Astaroth for his weaknesses since she also didn't know. "I mean, we are here as a backup plan if they can't kill him. So, let's just stay here and hope that we don't have to butt in," Aurea continued.

Jeanne hummed in agreement and thought about what kind of power Astaroth hid under his sleeve.

Astaroth had a special skill like the other Demon Kings, and it was called [Mathematician] where he could solve all problems and always find a way to survive. It was similar to Vincze's [Thread and Needle] skill, but it could be used not for defense but also for the offensive. The longer he was in a battle, the higher the chance he would win the fight.

Vincze felt a tremendous amount of uneasiness because of his [Thread and Needle] skill. He felt like if the fight got prolonged, they were going to be the ones to die because of Astaroth's movements that started to become unpredictable.

"The wolf and the serpent came back to live! Sven, Nagy, can you both deal with it?" Rozan asked as he repelled all the magic and did a counter to Astaroth. "It's getting hard for some reason. He starts to read my movements and I can't keep up with him," Rozan informed the others.

Sven and Nagy left the group to deal with the wolf and the serpent, but then they noticed those two had become bigger and fiercer. Sven decided to deal with the wolf and Nagy decided to deal with the serpent since it would be the best match-up for their weapons.

"Everyone get back!" Gerrard shouted and startled everyone.

They all didn't hesitate and jumped away from Astaroth.

"What is it? Is he going to use that breath again?" Vincze asked Gerrard who looked a bit scared.

"No. He's calculating us. He already has the upper hand now and if we start attacking, he's going to kill us all," Gerrard answered as he listened to Astaroth's thoughts. "We can't keep doing this, and we need a new plan," Gerrard looked at Rozan.

They looked at Gerrard for a moment, and they believed him since he wouldn't spout nonsense.

"What's your call, Rozan?" Sven came back and his body was covered in black blood. He had already killed the wolf. "We all can go all out and destroy his body entirely if we try," Sven continued and looked at Rozan.

"No, that's exactly what he wanted," Rozan answered.

Astaroth laughed as he covered his face with his left hand.

"So you have the ability to hear my thoughts, what a troublesome human you are," Astaroth looked at Gerrard through the gap in between his fingers. "But it's all futile. You can't defeat me because I already know how to kill all of you since that human over there can no longer stop me from using magic," Astaroth grinned and glared at Rozan.

"Shut up, you ugly," Rozan pointed his staff at Astaroth. "You're playing a mind game now, huh? Let's see who has the weakest one!" Rozan stabbed his staff and rested his hands on his waist.

Everyone looked at Rozan and didn't know what he was talking about.

"Everyone, listen to me. If we are the ones who attack him, we lose. With that being said, let's not attack him and just look at his ugly ass face," Rozan said with confidence. "Let's fucking mock his ugly face to our heart's content!" Rozan continued.

Gerrard listened to Astaroth's thoughts and realized that Astaroth only calculated how to win if he was being attacked. Now that they weren't attacking him, his calculation was useless, and he had to start a new calculation to win against them.

Gerrard came back and whispered what he knew to the others. They finally understood what Rozan was doing, and so they all started staring at Astaroth without moving a muscle.

"How long are you going to hide your ugly face? The more you hide it, the more hideous it looks from here," Rozan asked with a disgusted expression.

Astaroth was glaring at him and he looked so pissed.

"Stop making that expression, uncle. Your ugliness is really showing off even though you're hiding it behind your hand," Aurea scoffed.

"Man, why do we have to face him? Compared to Asmodeus, Azrael, and Samael, I thought all Demon Kings are powerful and looked scary or cool, I never thought there was an ugly one like him," Sven sighed and shook his head.

After dozens of mockery toward Astaroth, he could no longer handle it. He suddenly laughed and made everyone look at him cautiously.

"You can smoke me all you want, humans! Because I will be the one who kills all of you and turn you into demons!" Astaroth looked at them as he took a deep breath.

"There it is," Rozan quietly said to himself and his hands were ready to take his staff.

"Since you won't be attacking me, then it's already giving me the upper hand!" Astaroth released his [Foul-breath of Death].

Rozan took his staff and started to manipulate the air around Astaroth's head. He forced the foul breath to stay around Astaroth's head. He then bound Astaroth's body so he couldn't move, but he was too powerful and easily broke it.

"Everyone! Cut all his limbs! I'll make sure he inhales all that foul breath of his!" Rozan shouted.

All of them activated [Harmony] and dashed forward. Sven was the fastest one compared to the others. He swung his scythe and cut off both Astaroth's legs, and then he jumped to the left and cut off Astaroth's right arm. He turned around in mid-air and threw his scythe at Astaroth's left arm and cut it off.

Sven cut all of Astaroth's limbs and sent him down to the ground in just a second. Rozan focused on keeping the foul breath around Astaroth's head and made sure Astaroth couldn't use magic to stop him.

"He's panicking," Lillith said as she looked at the way Astaroth wiggled his body. "I think this foul breath is dangerous even to himself," Lillith looked at Rozan.

"I figured that out already. Demons don't have skill cooldown like us, so it's weird that he didn't use it so often. I guess he's too scared to inhale his own breath, and that might be because he could die because of it as well," Rozan answered and nodded his head in agreement. "Just focus on cutting his limbs whenever he regenerates them," Rozan kept his staff pointing at the foul breath that floated around Astaroth's head.

They kept focusing on their own roles for an hour until they started to notice the changes. Astaroth could no longer regenerate his limbs, and that only meant he was weakened.

"Come on, just die already!" Rozan stood on top of Astaroth's body and forced the breath to enter Astaroth's nose and mouth.

[Congratulations on defeating Demon King Astaroth, the Sin of Envy!]

[All the Constellations are overjoyed with your achievement and will grant you a single wish for every Awakener that participated in defeating Demon King Astaroth!]

[All the Constellations are looking at you with curiosity. They are waiting for the wish that you want as your reward!]

[You can ask for a skill that you want as long as the Constellations can grant it. The skill that you wished for is a [Benefactor Exclusive] skill]

Aurea chuckled as he walked toward the others. "Who died like that? Die from his own foul breath," Aurea said.

Everyone chuckled and laughed after realizing it by now.

"That's one, there's four Demon Kings to go. Take your reward and we should defeat the next Demon King, Satan," Jeanne said.

"That one is going to be a hard opponent," Aurea said with a serious expression.
