[The portal to the eleventh floor is now open!]
"I thought it would be easy to kill that demon lord, but turns out it can regenerate over and over. What a pain in the ass that demon was," Agnez said as she wiped the demon's blood on her face.
"I'm glad that we kill it right on time before it could regenerate," Jeanne said. "Thank you, Gerrard!" she waved at Gerrard because he was the one who dealt the final blow to Balthar. Gerrard just smiled and gave her a thumbs up.
Gunnar joined them and sat down, he looked at Agnez's neck and saw bruises on her neck. "Did something happen to your neck? I don't remember you having that bruises on your neck earlier,"
"Oh? These? I think I was massaging my neck a bit too hard from earlier," Agnez answered without hesitation.
Rozan looked at the mysterious door that Mykel went into. "What do you think behind that door? I know that it must have something to do with the artifacts that he gave you three, but why he didn't want us to get in there?"
"Maybe because there's a demon that guards the artifact and he thinks that we are not strong enough to kill that demon? Who knows, but as long as he's giving it to us for free, I don't mind and I already got my share," Gunnar answered while he eating Edith's homemade sandwich.
"You know how he is, you shouldn't be asking questions since you won't get an answer for that," Agnez said.
"Yeah, you're right," Rozan replied while nodding his head in agreement.
Mykel came out from the door with a chest in his hand, all of them stood up and looked at the chest that he held. He opened it and it was a bracelet made of silver, he showed it to Rozan and immediately threw it at him. "That's yours," he said.
[Bracelet of Practicality: A bracelet that the king of sloth himself used to easily conquer the damned souls. When equipped, the User will attain a [Effortless] skill]
[Effortless (Active): Allow the User to not consume Stamina when activated. (Can only be used twice a day with 5 minutes duration on each activation)]
"Wow! Are you being serious right now?!" Rozan asked as he stared at Mykel with disbelief.
"Yes, now let's go to the next tower," Mykel said while looking at Jeanne who seemed to be back to normal.
As soon as Mykel left the tenth floor his phone vibrated, he grabbed his phone and looked at the message that Lyneth sent two hours ago. He furrowed his head and immediately called her but her phone was out of service.
"Change of plan," Mykel said as he turned around to look at them. "We are done for today," he continued with a serious expression.
They didn't say a word because his gaze was enough to tell that something happened and they just nodded and followed him to the airport.
Gunnar and the others were sitting on the private jet and looked at the empty seat that was supposed to be for Mykel. As soon as they get on the plane, Mykel went to the cockpit and he never left ever since. One thing that they noticed was the jet flew faster than usual and they had to put their seatbelt on.
"Do you know who I am?!" Lyneth yelled as she was tied to a chair with her eyes covered with a cloth. "I know that you're there! Answer me!" she continued while trying to free herself.
"Of course, I know you, Miss Lyneth," A familiar man's voice answered. "You're the president of the Guild Association!" he continued as he walked around her.
"Randolph?" Lyneth asked with her trembled voice and her eyebrows furrowed.
"Bingo!" Randolph said as he unfolded the cloth from her eyes.
"What the fuck are you doing?! Let go of me!" Lyneth glared at Randolph as she kept struggling to free herself.
"No, no, no, can't do," Randolph said as he glared at Lyneth's cleavage while wetting his lips and gulping his saliva. "I won't let you go until I got what I wanted, but I don't think I will ever let you go since I have been waiting for this moment," he said as he sat on the table in front of Lyneth with his bare feet touching Lyneth's thighs.
"What do you want?" Lyneth asked and didn't care about what he touched and stared.
"You," Randolph said with a grin on his face. "Well, the Guild Association as well," he continued while he kept rubbing his feet on her thighs.
"Over my dead body," Lyneth said with a smirk on her face.
"You sold your body and the company to that guy, didn't you?" Randolph said as he leaned his head forward. "Is he really that good in the bed that you gave him the company? So I thought to myself..." he paused while he stood behind her and leaned to her ear. "Maybe I can change that mind of yours since you haven't felt mine yet," he whispered into her ears.
Lyneth closed her eyes and tried to calm herself or Randolph would forcefully use his way in. Unfortunately, she started to feel Randolph's hands rubbing her neck from behind and slowly went down to her chest.
"I won't do that if I were you," Lyneth said and pretend that she didn't bother by it but her trembling voice blew it up.
"Is the little lioness scared?" Randolph whispered while his hands were about to grope her chest.
Lyneth's mouth trembled and couldn't hold her emotion anymore so she started to cry.
"Are we really doing this? She's the president of the Guild Association," An Awakener asked his friend who guarded the building while staring at the heavy rain on the night road.
"Don't talk about it, the less you know the less trouble you get," His friend answered as he smoke his cigarette.
The guy was enjoying his smoke but then his whole body trembled and couldn't put the cigarette away from his mouth. He could only move his eyes and he looked at his friend from the corner of his eyes, and he was also frozen still like him.
The guy had no idea what happened and his fingers were burned by the cigarette in between his finger until he saw a man standing on the other side of the road with the rain evaporating before it could touch his body. They both were staring at that guy that slowly cross the road and approached them.
The closer Mykel from them, the weaker their body was until his friend suddenly moved his own body in front of him. He watched his friend standing still in front of him and his whole body suddenly tear itself in half with the blood of his friend covering his body.
Mykel stood right in front of him and stared down at him with his bright yellow eyes. Mykel grabbed the guy's head as he lifted him up and then crushed it onto the wall. The back of his head exploded and left the front of his head and body stuck on the wall.
The loud banging sound made the Awakeners inside the building startled. They were looking at each other until Mykel entered the building and glared at them. Before they could even say anything, their bodies started to float and were thrown onto the walls and dragged their bodies and painted the wall red with their flesh and blood.
Randolph was startled by the loud bangings outside the room while Lyneth couldn't hear anything because she was scared of Randolph.
The door handle moved so slowly and Randolph saw Mykel standing in front of the door as he stared that Lyneth's shirt with a few buttons was unbuttoned.
"H-how did yo-" Before Randolph could finish his sentence, his jaw was forcefully being torn on its own.
Mykel approached Lyneth and immediately cover her eyes with a cloth, it made her scream her lungs out. "Shh..." Mykel calmly hushed her while he untied the rope and buttoned her shirt.
"M-Mykel?" Lyneth barely could say his name because she was trembling in fear.
"Just hold onto me and don't remove the cloth from your eyes," Mykel said calmly.
Lyenth without hesitation hugged Mykel so tightly and started sobbing while Mykel stared at Randolph with his tongue hanging down and was still in shock about what happened to his face. He tried to stand up but slipped by his own blood and saliva. Mykel just stared at him and watch Randolph struggle until Mykel decided to use [Mind Control] on Randolph.
Randolph slowly walked toward Mykel with his eyes staring blankly at nothing. Mykel gave him a knife that he found outside the room, and then Randolph walked toward the chair and sat down as he removed his pants. Mykel left the room while Randolph cut his own genital and then cut his own throat.
Mykel carried her in his arm and brought her outside the building in the middle of heavy rain. He didn't say a word but he stared at the Eternity building and didn't blink even for a second.
