Destroying My Own Novel-Novel

Roxanne looked at the tallest building in District 7 in front of her. It was the address of the apartment that Nephilim gave her. She never thought that the infamous Evelyn lived there. She then entered the apartment and went straight to the highest floor which was floor eighty-seven.

The lobby was so big that the eighty-seventh floor had its own maids and servants. She hesitated to walk on the expensive red carpet with her shoes, but the maids said it was okay and Nephilim was waiting for her in her office.

Roxanne was escorted by a servant to Nephilim's office, and then he left her in front of the office door.

"Miss Evelyn, it's me, Roxanne from the Fraternity Association," Roxanne said nervously.

"You can come in," Nephilim's voice could be heard from behind the door.

Roxanne slowly opened the door and to her surprise found that the office was a mess and all the corners were filled with papers and documents. There was nothing but papers, documents, books, and lastly, four cups of coffee. She finally realized how hard-working Nephilim was, and no wonder she became famous in a short amount of time.

"You can sit anywhere. This room is a mess since I barely use this apartment. I don't even remember when the last time I went back to this place," Nephilim said as she flipped over the document in her left hand.

"You haven't visited this apartment for so long?" Roxanne asked out of curiosity.

"You can say this is one of my hideouts to avoid people who try to harm me. I'm just a lawyer who has no power like you Awakeners, and even if I hired the strongest bodyguards, it would be no match against the Guild Association. So, I bought and rented so many places as my hideout," Nephilim answered as she put down the document and grabbed a cup of coffee.

"That's enough for the explanation, let's just cut to the point of why you're here, Miss Roxanne," Nephilim said as she stared Roxanne in the eye.

Roxanne didn't know how dangerous it would be for normal people to fight a battle against Awakeners, especially Mykel. She realized that she might put Nephilim in danger and hesitated to tell her the reason why she came.

"What's wrong? Are you afraid that you would put me in danger?" Nephilim chuckled as she sat down on her chair. "Worry about yourself. If I'm not prepared for everything why would I go to this extent to fight them? Just tell me what do you want, Miss Roxanne," Nephilim smiled as she rested her chin on her fist.

"I want to ask you to cooperate with us, but this is going to sound crazy to you," Roxanne hesitated.

"Surprise me," Roxanne smiled and she looked thrilled.

Roxanne told everything to Nephilim without hesitation. All the speculations she and Asmond had been discussing, the information about the Demonic Cult, and the evidence that Asmond got during his battle against Sven.

"Okay, I heard enough, but what do you want me to do with all that information?" Nephilim asked.

"There was once an incident in District Thirteen, the beginning of the Demonic Cult. The Azazel Tower was damaged during that time, and we believed a powerful demon was summoned to Earth. The government had been hiding it, and if you could find that evidence from them, it would be helpful to you as well, right? To bring them down or to threaten them," Roxanne explained.

Nephilim hummed as she took note of the conversation they had. She was so focused that she showed an aura that made Roxanne patiently wait for her to finish taking a note.

"You're telling me that Mykel and probably the Guild Association are working under that demon?" Nephilim asked.

"I'm not sure, but if Mykel has the power to be able to fight that powerful demon last year, he should have exterminated the Demonic Cult. But he didn't, and now the Demonic Cult came back with more powerful forces. That can only mean one thing that he's working with that demon," Roxanne explained and tried to convince Nephilim.

"I'll see what I can do. You can leave now," Nephilim said as she kept taking notes.

Roxanne was surprised that it ended like that. She thought there would be more things to say or share.

"Are we not going to discuss about the payment or something like that?" Roxanne asked with a confused look on her face.

"No need. This is indeed interesting and if what you said is indeed the truth, that's enough payment for me because I can turn the table with this," Nephilim answered as she smirked. "I'll contact you again once I found something," Nephilim put her pen down and looked at Roxanne. "Until then, just wait," Nephilim said.

Roxanne nodded and thanked Nephilim before she left the apartment.

(In Niflheim)

Hel and Freyja watched Aurea and Jeanne spar behind the castle. They had been fighting for two days nonstop, but neither of them was winning because Jeanne's strength was superior to that of Aurea thanks to her [Godly Physical] skill that reached level 11.

"Why are you holding back, Aurea?" Jeanne asked as she caught her breath.

"I'm not holding back. I'm just fulfilling Agenz's wish to fight you in swordsmanship, and so I'm only using the strength that I have," Aurea said as she regenerated her left hand that got cut off by Jeanne. "Also, your Harmony skill, why didn't you use it?" Aurea asked.

"The skill has become useless now since it has been modified. I wished I didn't accept those gifts," Jeanne said as she looked at her palm. "But it's a good thing that it's useless now because that means it will be easier for you to defeat me in the future," Jeanne swung her sword around and readied her stance again.

They both started clashing their swords again and the battle echoed throughout the kingdom.

"Where's Loki?" Mykel asked.

Hel and Freyja turned around to look at Mykel. He wasn't alone. He came with Spenta and Lyneth.

"He said something about playing with Hermes. We're not sure what he meant, and so he's in Mount Olympus right now," Freyja answered as she looked at Lyneth in very thin clothing. "Aren't you cold? You should wear something than just that," Freyja looked at Lyneth's oversized sweater and sweatpants.

"No, I feel warm in this," Lyneth smiled.

Hel and Freyja felt an unknown power that surrounded Lyneth. It was a power that they had never seen before. A power to protect oneself, and yet it wasn't hers. They then looked at Mykel to ask for some kind of explanation of that unknown power, but Mykel shook his head since he didn't know what kind of power it was.

"So, what are you doing here?" Freyja looked at Mykel who was so focused on watching Aurea and Jeanne.

"About the plan, we will proceed with the plan a month from now. I want to be present when Lyneth gives birth to Elena," Mykel answered.

"I see, then we should prepare for it as well since we will be meeting her again," Freyja sighed and sounded nervous. "Is that why you're here?" Freyja asked.

"That's all. I have to discuss the plan with Luciel in the Empyrean World. I'll take my leave now," Mykel said, and then left with Lyneth and Spenta. He didn't want to bother Aurea and Jeanne since they both didn't notice his presence at all.

It was the first time for Lyneth to be in the Empyrean World. Mykel explained to her what exactly the Empyrean World was. After Lyneth realized it was heaven where all humans go, she wanted to go and check it out.

"You can use Spenta since you can ride on his back," Mykel said as he looked at Spenta slowly grow bigger and became twice as big as him.

Lyneth hopped onto Spenta's back and explored the islands around the main island. Mykel then went to the palace to meet with Luciel, but when he entered the throne room he was surprised to see all the Demon Kings in the hall.

"The man of the hour is finally here," Luciel said as she crossed her legs and started at Mykel from her throne. "Come, we have been waiting for you," Luciel rested her head on her fist.
