406 Chapter 405: When the time is come.
“I don’t remember when the last time I go on a vacation. All I remember is the desk and documents stacked on it. I have been working for almost my entire life,” Lyneth said as she came out of the airport and the smell of the sea struck her nose.
A tropical island where the sun was barely covered by clouds. The warm and constant gentle wind made everyone feel welcome. The number one place to visit on Earth was Paha.
“Am I really okay to be here?” Enma asked and looked confused about how she ended up coming with them.
“It’s Miss Lyneth’s order, so just enjoy the vacation,” Edith said as she held Merlin’s left hand and carried Mikha in her left arm.
“I know, but…” Enma paused as she looked to her left and saw Hera and Beldathiel standing next to each other. Hera wrapped her right arm around Beldathiel’s left arm, and they looked like a mother and daughter. “Am I the only one that going to be alone here?” Enma asked as she looked back and saw Lucifer and Nyx holding hands like a couple.
Enma and Edith didn’t know about Lucifer and Nyx since Mykel told them those two were his friends. Although he said that, they had thoughts that those two were Gods just like him.
pA n,dan(-)0ve1.c0m “You guys can go to the villa first, I have some matters to talk about with Enma,” Mykel said as he looked at Enma.
Hera wrapped Lyneth’s arm and then walked into the car with Beldathiel and Lyneth. Edith waved at Enma as she walked past her and entered the car with Marlin and Mikha.
“If you two want to go on your own, go ahead,” Mykel looked at Lucifer and Nyx.
Lucifer and Nyx immediately left and went to see what the island provided for the tourists. It was weird to see both of them like that, and Lucifer wouldn’t care about her if he didn’t know the original story.
“Want to drink some cocktail? I really want to have a drink,” Mykel said as he put a cigarette in his mouth.
Enma was nervous because she was still scared of him. Another thing that she wanted to avoid was that Mykel had many mistresses, and she didn’t want to be a part of it.
“I’m not going to do anything to you, I have something important to tell you. Come,” Mykel said grabbing a taxi for them.
They went to the closest pub that opened at midday, and it wasn’t even a fancy place. It was a normal outdoor pub with pool tables and a big pool behind the pub. The place was crowded with tourists, and most of the tourists were Awakeners after they sold all the materials for money. For stress relief, Paha was famous for the nightlife because of the beautiful women they had there.
“You already know about almost everything, right?” Mykel asked as he ordered a dry martini.
“I’m not sure about that. I only know about your relationship with everyone, the Awakeners you took from different worlds, the Gods and demons, and why you want to change the game. Also, I saw the vision that Edith had,” Enma answered, and she ordered a bottle of beer.
“Good then we can go straight to the point,” Mykel said as he grabbed the ashtray on the counter. “If you understand the vision and know what’s going to come for me and the others in the future. That’s why we are here,” Mykel continued as he watched the bartender make his drink.
The bartender interrupted Mykel and gave the dry martini to him. Mykel then drank it in a single shot and asked for three more.
“You’re not going to be in the team when the time is come,” Mykel said as he looked at Enma. “You saw it, you were in Asmond’s side in that vision. I don’t know why, but now I understand that I might be the one who ordered you to do so,” Mykel explained.
“What makes you think that I won’t betray you and stab you in the back?” Enma asked.
“I’m a God, I can hear your thoughts,” Mykel answered with a smile. “I also know that you love Gunnar, and Gunnar loves you so much,” Mykel continued as he looked at the four martinis in front of him. “It’s better if you don’t get involved. Both for your own good and Gunnar’s,” Mykel sighed and took one of the glasses.
“What’s the point? You can bring me back to life, and that’s been your plan all along, right? Why don’t you let me in?” Enma asked.
“I know your hatred toward Asmond is the same as mine, but I’m not like any of you who showed their hatred like animals. The only person that I hate in this world is him, so I want to make it as satisfying as possible,” Mykel put out his cigarette on the ashtray. “You’re going to taste how sweet it will be,” Mykel continued and drank another dry martini.
“Why do you hate him? I don’t understand,” Enma asked with a confused look.
“It’s complicated,” Mykel answered. “But that’s not the point here. The reason I want you to be out of the team is that you have to lead the Chimeras,” Mykel explained as he offered the last dry martini to Enma.
“The Chimeras?” Enma furrowed her eyebrows.
“You’ll meet them once we are back,” Mykel stood up as he stretched his neck. “Drink that martini, we are going to the villa. I want to have a massage,” Mykel said as he grabbed his blazer from the chair.
(Inside the Babel Tower)
“We cleared the hall,” Leonard said as he stabbed his swords to the ground. “We fucking did it,” He chuckled in disbelief.
He turned around and saw so many people were injured, and a few of them died. It was the biggest battle they had ever had, and the XPs were so juicy that everyone leveled up five to six times.
“How far do you think this whole floor is, Leo?” The woman in full plate armor asked.
“I’m not sure, Louise. If this is just the first room, and so far we know there are at least fifty rooms on each floor, then this whole floor is like a big island,” Leonard answered. “Do you think we can go on like this? Nevermind that. There’s no turning back, we have to keep moving forward,” Leonard continued as he stretched his stiff and numb fingers.
“To think they have five dragons and wolves. How powerful are those people from the Guild Association? They’re like in a different league,” The man in all-black full-plate armor with a lance said as he removed his helmet.
“Their Benefactors must be powerful if they can become like that. I’m quite jealous, and I bet you too, Arthur,” Leonard said as he grabbed his swords. “Well, I’m going to scout the next area. You guys coming?” Leonard looked at Louise and Arthur.
“Lead the way,” Louise said as she put her spear on her back.
(Deeper in the Babel Tower)
“Nothing remains, huh?” Sven asked as he watched the Hellfire tornados move forward and sucked all the demons in. The heat those tornados produced was enough to melt them before they even got inside them.
“Good things these demons are following us all the way here. Looks like we don’t have to worry about those people anymore,” Gunnar looked at Jeanne as he stretched his back because riding a wolf was uncomfortable and painful.
“Yeah, but we are still on the third floor. It looks like it will be difficult to go forward if we ignore them. These demons are getting bigger, and stronger, and most of them can fly,” Jeanne replied.
Everyone sighed and took their time to rest since they had to move again very soon. Inside the tower without knowing the time, the same view for days. It weary them and not to mention, the pungent smell that the demon produced.
“Seven floors to go without getting a single skill leveled up, only our level raised, but what’s the point of that,” Sven said as he sighed. “We need more powerful enemies, like those demon princesses to raise our uncapped skills,” Sven continued.
“You want powerful demons?” Mazikeen took over Agnez’s body. “Once we reached the bottom of the tower. You will see millions of powerful demons outside the tower which is seven floors away,” Mazikeen stated.
“For real? Now we are talking, let’s go and clear the fiftieth floor,” Sven activated [Harmony] and dashed to the front at full speed.
“That guy,” Lillith shook her head as she scoffed.
“Are you really sure you’re ready to see the bottom of Gehenna?” Mazkieen chuckled mischievously.
