Destroying My Own Novel

Euros and his team watched as Sven single-handedly killed every demon that they couldn't kill even if they worked together. They realized how different their strength was compared to Jeanne's team. They finally understood how Jeanne and the others managed to kill seven Demon Kings in just a few months.

"Are we really needed here, Princess Jeanne?" Euros asked and looked at Jeanne standing next to Aurea and watching Sven massacre all the demons.

"You can just enjoy the show, just like us," Jeanne answered with a smile as she looked at Euros and the others got petrified by the scenery. "In the first place, we are just going to watch since Sven wants to fight Demon King Azazel himself," Jeanne continued.

"He's going to fight the Demon King on his own?!" Arvel was shocked and then looked at Sven landed right in front of them with blood covering his body and scythe.

"Well, I'm not saying that I might win, but at least I want to try to fight him alone," Sven answered as he turned around and looked at Arvel. "Anyway, we can go to the next floor. Let's go!" Sven continued as he walked toward the black door with a gold frame that indicated the stairs to the upper floor.

They climbed the towers which took them three days because Euros and the others couldn't move nonstop like Jeanne and her team. They felt like they had become a burden on Jeanne, but she immediately denied it since Rozan was still a bit fatigued so they couldn't move too fast.

"We are here," Jeanne looked at the door with a goat's head and a red circle symbol. She could feel a powerful demon presence inside, but it wasn't as powerful as the other Demon Kings.

Sven walked to the door and opened it, but suddenly his right thumb got scratched by something.

"You bleed quite a lot," Aurea said with a mischievous smile. "Congrats on becoming a sacrifice for Azazel," Aurea continued as she chuckled mischievously.

"Wh-what do you mean?!" Sven asked as he covered his thumb to stop the bleeding.

"There's a reason why nobody can enter this room. It's because nobody wants to open it, but now that you opened it," Aurea paused and looked at Sven. You're cursed, and now you're going to die," Aurea explained.

"You're jokin-" Before Sven could finish his sentence, his throat got cut open and blood started to drip down his armor and to the floor.

Edith and Gunnar tried to save him, but as soon as they closed the wound, it got cut open again, and it became much worse. They were terrified to see Sven wiggle his legs on the floor as his eyes turned red and he couldn't speak.

"Kill him. The curse can't be undone. Even a Demon King can't lift the curse. The longer you try to save him, you guys are only making him suffer more," Aurea pointed out and looked at Lillith.

Lillith smiled and unsheathed her daggers as she walked toward Sven. She sat on top of Sven's stomach and lifted her dagger up high as she stared into Sven's eyes.

"Finally, I have the chance to kill you," Lillith said as she stabbed Sven in the heart and ripped his chest.

Everyone looked at Lillith who enjoyed it and remembered how terrifying she could be when it came to killing a human being. She enjoyed it for as long as she could even though she had already stabbed his heart. She knew that people could still feel pain for a few seconds before passing out.

Sven came back to life as soon as Lillith enjoyed her time. He jolted and stayed away from Lillith because he could still feel the pain lingering around his chest.

"It's not the time to reminiscence. Azazel is waiting for you inside," Aurea looked at Sven who was still shivering.

"I think I'll take a few days' vacations after this is over. I need some kind of rehabilitation..." Sven walked into the room as the others followed him from behind.

A demon with nothing covering his torso, only black cloth that he wrapped around his waist down his legs and a cape made of black cloth on his back. Black bird-like wings were spread open and a long sword was in his left hand.

"So you're Azazel, the one who put a curse on me," Sven said as he held his scythe with both hands. "I'm not going to waste any more time and go all out in an instant," Sven continued as he activated [Harmony] and drank the poison vials with different effects. "I don't fucking care what you have under your sleeves. I'll kill you before you can do anything," Sven activated [Berserk], [Warmonger], and [Aura Blade].

Jeanne activated [Maestro] and buffed Sven to his fullest potential.

Although Azazel was the weakest Demon King, he was the strongest in terms of weaponmanship. He could read every Sven's movements even though he was not a match for Sven's power and speed. But as Sven said, he overpowered Azazel and killed him before he could do anything else.

[Congratulations on defeating Demon King Azazel, the Fallen!]

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

[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]

"It's over," Sven clenched his fists and looked at his burned palm after clashing with Azazel that used [Hellfire] against him. "We can rest and the people should be safe from the breakout now. Our job is finally done here," Sven looked at the guardian spirits healing his wounds.

"Looks like this is going to be our goodbye," Euros looked at Jeanne and the others with a saddened expression. It wasn't just him, but Costrezeir and the others felt the same way as him.

"What are you talking about? We can still visit you whenever we want. We have Mykel who can bring us to your world or bring you guys to our world," Jeanne replied with a smile. "What matter is that you get your world back, and no more threat from the outside world," Jeanne continued.

Rozan and the others nodded their heads in agreement with what Jeanne said.

"Is that so? Then we are glad to hear that, but it looks like your journey is still far ahead knowing there are still a few towers that haven't been cleared yet. I believe Mykel would have a plan for you guys," Euros said and looked at the giant blue portal in front of them.

"Who knows? We are only directed to clear these towers and nothing else. We will deal with them once Mykel makes a move," Aurea replied as she sighed and stared blankly at the floor.

After Euros and the others got a skill for themselves, they said their goodbyes to Jeanne and the others. They entered the portal after Rozan explained to them that they could still meet again in the Lucifer Tower.

"I don't think they will have a reason to join our fight in the future. I mean joining us in the Lucifer Tower," Rozan said as he looked at Aazel's dead body.

"Who's sane enough to join someone else's battle? They exhausted themselves by killing a single demon here. There's no reason for them to risk their lives for something that isn't their problem," Vincze answered as he helped Sven stand up.

"Aren't you all glad that Mykel chose us?" Aurea asked with her arms crossed.

"It's a curse and a blessing. We got everything we need and we can achieve whatever we want. But at the same time, we are cursed to follow this hard and terrifying path. I'm not sure if I'm glad that this happened, but I'm satisfied with the result though," Sven answered as he checked his armor.

"Let's just get out of here. I'm sick of clearing the towers. People are waiting for us outside and we can finally enjoy our time," Rozan said. "No more breakout for us, and we can enjoy our lives after a year of hardship," Rozan continued as he stretched his arms.

"You're right. Let's get wasted without worries on our shoulders!" Vincze clenched his fists.

All of them nodded and entered the portal.
