Asmond was scared and regretted that he hurt Mykel, but since it had already happened, he didn't have any other choice but to fight. When he was about to crush Mykel's head, he felt something was off and that was when he realized he couldn't harm Mykel anymore.
"Do you know why all the Gods fear me?" Mykel asked as he walked slowly toward Asmond. "It's because I can do what they can do," Mykel snapped his fingers and deactivated the [Void Sanctuary] that he duplicated from Asmond.
Asmond was baffled that Mykel copied Mara's skill, and knowing it was possible, he realized how fucked he was. Mykel then used [Spatiokinesis] and made him stand right in front of Asmond in a blink of an eye.
"Do you want to know what else I can do?" Mykel asked as he choked Asmond and lifted him in the air. "I can remove the skills that you possess. For example..." Mykel paused as he looked at Asmond's status screen. "Your Void Shelter skill," Mykel continued and smiled as he looked at Asmond.
Asmond was terrified when he heard that from Mykel and immediately opened his status screen. He was petrified when he didn't see his [Void Shelter] skill on his skill list.
"I can do whatever I want no matter who they are, and that includes the Gods and especially Mara," Mykel said and then slammed Asmond to the ground really hard. "You should know who I am and what I'm capable of before you make a move, Asmond," Mykel said and used his [Telekinesis] skill and crushed Asmond's inside.
Asmond screamed his lungs out as blood came out of his eyes, nose, and mouth. He forgot how terrifying death was, and knowing that he couldn't heal himself anymore made him scared to death. But suddenly a notification appeared in front of him, it was Mara who gifted him the [Void Shelter] skill.
Mykel got pushed away from Asmond the moment the [Void Shelter] skill got activated. He couldn't believe that Mara still cared about Asmond, and he believed she was listening to his conversations with Asmond.

Jeanne watched from behind and listened to Mykel's words. Although she didn't know who Mara was or what she looked like, she knew how powerful she was based on stories she heard from Hera. To think Mykel challenged and threatened Mara like that, meant he had prepared to fight her.
"Mykel... it was you... you're the one who changed my Strength back then!" Asmond said and he glared at Mykel furiously while he was on his knees.
"So? Do you want me to remove your Resistance skill and Body Enhancement skill now?" Mykel asked and looked down at Asmond. "Barking like a puppy, not realizing to whom you're barking and bare his fangs, how cute," Mykel scoffed.
Asmond gritted his teeth and clenched his fists since he knew if he made a fool of himself would only make it impossible to fight Mykel. He stayed down and decided not to anger Mykel since he knew that it was possible to hurt Mykel, but he only needed to get stronger.
"I'm letting you live because I want to see how far you can go. We will meet each other again, but until then, I hope you're not as pathetic as you are right now," Mykel said as he walked back to Jeanne.
Asmond looked at Jeanne and hoped that she would show any kind of sympathy for him. But Jeanne stared him in the eye with a cold expression and then left with Mykel as she initiated the hand-holding Mykel. They both warped away and left Asmond on his own in a dark empty park.
The next morning, Asmond couldn't sleep the whole night as he started to smoke and emptied a whole pack of cigarettes in a single night. He also tried to get drunk, but his Resistance skill was too high that he was unable to get poisoned by alcohol. He felt empty and numb inside, but then his phone vibrated, and it was Enma who called him.
"Asmond, Mykel's team is going to clear the Lucifer Tower. What do you want to do?" Enma asked.
"They're going to clear it now?" Asmond asked and jolted from his seat.
"Yes, I just got a message from Gunnar that they're going to clear the Lucifer Tower tomorrow. I'm not sure how far they would go, but Mykel has ordered them to clear the Lucifer Tower," Enma answered.
"Then we are going to join them. We're not going to let this opportunity go," Asmond replied.
Asmond and his team went inside the Lucifer Tower, but knowing they had to go all the way from Gehenna to Babel Tower, and all the way down to Gehenna again, it would take days. Since they already knew that the Babel Tower was up high into the sky, they believed the next floor would be going up instead of going down.
They went all the way to the entrance to the Babel Tower which took them a whole day to get there. The moment they arrived, they saw a notification that the sixtieth floor had been cleared by the Guild Association. They were shocked by how fast they found the Demon Lord, but knowing Mykel was there to guide them, it was possible.
Everyone was standing in front of the Babel Tower, and suddenly people started to shout from the bridge. Asmond and the others turned around to see what was happening with the commotion, and then they saw Jeanne, Aurea, and the others walking to the tower.
"So they're the famous Guild Association. They indeed look strong compared to all of us," A man said to his friends. "We should follow them and use this chance to get the rewards," he continued.
"Then, doesn't that mean these guys who took care of all the mess that Asmond did in his world? What are they going to do when they see them here?" His friend asked. "I can't wait to see them see each other," he continued with a giggle.
The moment Jeanne and the others saw Asmond and his team near the tower's entrance, they stared at them with cold expressions. Gunnar was the only one who smiled and waved his hand, but that was only pointed at Enma.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJeanne and the others ignored Asmond and his team, and went into the tower since the stairs to the upper floors had been opened. Rozan turned around after he entered the tower and saw everyone following them from the distance.
"Did you tell them that we are going to clear the tower today, Gunnar?" Rozan asked.
"Yeah, but I only told Enma though," Gunnar answered.
"Is that so? Well, I guess that's fine then," Rozan sighed and couldn't be mad at Gunnar for it. "So, what are we going to do? Should we get rid of them before we go or something?" Rozan asked Jeanne and Aurea.
"Let them be. They won't be able to keep up with our pace anyway," Aurea answered as she looked over her shoulder. "We have to babysit this girl because she had been eager to kill all the Demon Lords," Aurea said as she looked at Elena in her white tank top under her black leather jacket and tucked in under her black jeans.
Elena was the one who defeated Zasalamel with a single punch in the face. He couldn't even react to her movement and killed him as soon as Elena met with him.
"Calling it to babysit really doesn't fit with what we are doing right now. We are just escorting her to the boss rooms, and that's all we are going to do," Sven replied as he looked at Elena's butt from behind. Although she didn't have big breasts like Lyneth's her butt was as big as Lyneth's.
"Elena... Sven is looking at your butt," Lillith said.
Elena glanced at Sven and kicked him right in the chest in a blink of an eye. He was sent to the far back and hit a few people that were following him. They were heavily injured because it felt like they got hit by a bus. The scariest part was Sven died because of just a single kick on the chest.
"Who's that girl? We have never seen her before," Rufus asked as he looked at Elena.
"She's Mykel's daughter with Lyneth, her name is Elena," Enma answered.
