511 Chapter 510: Unsolved mysteries.
Jeanne and Aurea looked at the red portal in front of them. It was the portal to the ninety-first floor of the Abaddon Tower, and they were one step closer to fighting Frigna, but they decided to hold it for later. They all entered the blue portal to rest for a few days before they went to the Mahazael Tower in District 3.
“Now that I think about it…” Rozan walked in the endless hallway with the others. “District Five is the Behemoth Tower, right? But since Mazikeen no longer exists, who are we going to fight in there? Are we going to fight you instead?” Rozan looked at Aurea, who was walking in the front with Jeanne.
Aurea hummed as she tapped on her chin, “I never thought about it, but I guess we will see?” “Maybe Mykel knows the answer to that,” Aurea said as she looked at Rozan from over her shoulder.
“If we are talking about that, it’s the same in the Lucifer Tower as well, right? Luciel is no longer the Demon Princess that resides on the hundredth floor. She’s the Demon King now, and who’ll replace her place on the hundredth floor?” Nagy said with her arms crossed.
“Yeah, but isn’t the system broken already because Mykel decided to mess it all up? I guess we won’t know until we face it,” Sven responded as he stretched his arms and cracked his joints.
They came out of the tower and looked at District 2 being rebuilt after the whole District was covered in ice. Although they were away for two weeks, the city started to operate again, and people started to move back in. Knowing the Guild Association paid for all the losses and took over all Districts that belonged to the Fraternity Association, people started to feel relief and safe.
“Hmm? What’s this?” Vincze pulled out his phone to check what had happened in the past two weeks. “Asmond disbanded the Fraternity and he also has the ability to resurrect the dead?” Vincze raised his eyebrow in disbelief.
Rozan and the others immediately grabbed their phones and checked about that topic. They watched the interviews of the resurrected people, and they became famous because a lot of people were wondering what the afterlife looked like. In the end, everyone was more interested in the afterlife than in the man who brought them back to life.
“You can go and see Enma, Gunnar. I think that should be okay now since the Fraternity is gone,” Jeanne looked at Gunnar.
“Yeah, I’m thinking about it. Are we really not going to enter the Mahazael Tower?” Gunnar asked.
“We can rest for three days, you can use your time to see her,” Jeanne nodded her head.
Gunnar looked so happy and immediately called Enma, but she didn’t pick up her phone since it was out of range. “Her phone isn’t available, maybe the boss can tell me where she is right now,” Gunnar put his phone into his pocket.
“Well, maybe she’s with Asmond and the others inside the tower right now. That’s why it’s out of range,” Rozan pointed out.
Gunnar looked sad in an instant, but there was nothing he could do. He then brushed it off and told everyone to have a drink and feast. They all nodded in agreement and went to their favorite place.
Jeanne invited Mykel without the others knowing, and they were surprised when they saw Mykel walking into the restaurant with Elena. They both then sat down and ordered everything on the menu.
“What’s this? You guys having a party without inviting me?” Mykel asked as he put a cigarette in his mouth.
“Oh come on. You’re used to having a feast with the Gods, why do you even care about a feast with us in this mortal world,” Aurea replied with a smile as she ate her fried onion ring. “Not to mention you can sleep with whoever you want after that,” Aurea chuckled.
Jeanne elbowed Aurea since Elena was there, and she listened to their conversation as she looked at all the foods that she had never eaten before. Elena then looked at Mykel and wondered what Aurea was saying.
“Anyway, Mykel. There’s something that we are curious about,” Jeanne changed the topic before Elena decided to ask anything. “What will happen when we reach the hundredth floor in the Behemoth Tower? As you know, the one who used to reside in that place no longer exists,” Jeanne asked.
Mykel hummed as the waitress gave him a bottle of rice wine and a small glass. “I have never thought about it, and I don’t know the answer either. It’s either Aurea will be your opponent, or you can’t clear the tower at all,” Mykel said as he poured the rice wine into the glass. “If the latter is what’s going to happen, then I have to think of a way to bring Mazikeen back, somehow,” Mykel continued and took a shot.
“What about the Lucifer Tower? Who’s going to replace Luciel?” Aurea asked as she looked at Elena grabbed the rice wine bottle and poured one for herself. “But since it’s a different case from me since the system itself said that a new ruler has replaced Lucifer, that means the hundredth floor is empty because of that,” Aurea pointed out and watched Elena take a shot of the rice wine.
“That’s something Luciel knows. I’ll ask her that later, but that’s something you shouldn’t be bothered about since it’s still far away. You guys are resting for the next three days, right? Just don’t think about anything and enjoy the time you have now,” Mykel answered and looked at the empty rice wine bottle, and Elena was the one who emptied it.
“Boss, do you know where Enma is right now?” Gunnar asked as he chewed the high-quality beef.
“She’s currently with Asmond and his team inside the Lucifer Tower. They’re exploring the Gehenna and leveling up with the people who stayed there. You won’t be able to see her since they’re planning on staying inside the tower for a long time,” Mykel answered and asked the waitress to bring more rice wine.
Everyone decided to enjoy the feast with Mykel and Elena since they hadn’t had the chance to get to know her better. It was fun and everyone got drunk because of the atmosphere, not because of the drink.
Two weeks had passed. Jeanne and the others managed to clear the Mahazael Tower up to the ninetieth floor. They came back right after a breakout warning appeared in front of them.
Although the breakout was about to happen, nobody batted an eye on it since Mykel and the others were waiting for the demons to come out. They felt safe that they weren’t scared to be giving a live feed near the towers since they wanted to see Mykel’s team in action.
Jeanne divided the team into four teams and sent them to Districts 2, 4, and 5 since Mykel and Elena were waiting in front of the Lucifer Tower. They were curious about what kind of demon would come out of the tower since they had defeated the strongest Demons except for the Demon Princesses and the Demon Kings.
As soon as the sky turned red, they heard growls and screams from behind the gate. Hundreds of demons came out of the tower, but Rozan and the others were staring at those demons in disbelief.
“Is this really the demons he sent?” Rozan looked at the demons in front of the Abaddon Tower. They were abyss knights and necromancers that resided on the ninety-first floor and above, but they didn’t look strong at all. “I think he’s running out of demon army,” Rozan said and swallowed the demons into the ground and crushed them by using [Geokinesis].
Sven and Gunnar defeated all the demons that came out of the Mahazael Tower as well. It was indeed a letdown since they were leaving the tower hurriedly because they were worried that the demons would destroy the city as soon as the breakout happened.
Jeanne didn’t even let the demons come out of the Beelzebub Tower and killed them inside the endless hallway with Edith. The same Insatiable Flies that used to conquer District 4.
Aurea with Lillith was standing in front of the Behemoth Tower and made all the demons that came out of the Behemoth Tower run back in when they saw Aurea. They scared her more than the Demon King since her reputation was well-known among Behemoth’s army. They entered the portal and didn’t come back.
On the other hand, Mykel and Elena waited for the demons to come out, but there was no sign of any demons.
“(I’m not sending an army to your world. There’s no need to be standing there)” Luciel said.
“(You should have told me that beforehand)” Mykel sighed as he approached Elena who was ready to fight.
“(Thanks to you, we, the Demon Kings are tight on our forces because of you. We’re focusing on the other worlds since they’re easy prey)” Luciel replied. “(I’m not going to send demons from my tower from now on and focus on the other worlds. So, there’s no need for you to be on guard anymore)” Luciel explained.

“(Then I’ll be waiting, patiently with my sword ready)” Luciel chuckled softly.
