Destroying My Own World

Victoria and the others came back with the portal she made, everyone was safe except their ears were damaged from the sonic explosion. They struggled to stand on their own, but the moment they saw Luciel standing in front of Mykel, they were pointing their weapons at her.

"How cute..." Luciel giggled quietly as she looked at all of them and the weapons they were holding. "Hmm? That's an interesting sword you have there," she looked at the Light Sword in Zachary's hand.

Luciel walked toward Zachary and everyone else fell to the ground because of her overwhelming presence. She then slowly reached for the sword, but Zachary's eyes suddenly glowed, he was possessed by Jeanne. But, before he could do anything, Luciel moved to Zachary's back, hit him on the nape, and made him lose consciousness for a split second.

"That was a quite pathetic attempt. You should know better you're no match for me by borrowing a mortal's body," Luciel said as she took the Light Sword from Zachary's hand. "Don't worry, I'm going to give your sword back. So wait for me," she looked at Zachary and then used her mind to make him faint, forcing Jeanne out of his body.

Luciel walked back and everyone could move again like nothing had happened. They realized they lost their powers and strength the moment she got too close to them. She was invincible and impossible to kill no matter how strong they were because there was a wall that couldn't be broken. A mere mortal, a human trying to fight the one who subdued the gods, the strongest being that had ever existed.

"All of you can be at ease..." Luciel looked at the Light Sword in her hand. "I'm not going to touch you or any mortals. I have made a deal with him and you can live in peace because it's over now," she assured as she looked at Elestria.

"What kind of a deal?" Elestria asked and looked at Luciel with concern and fear.

"Hmm..." Luciel squinted her eyes and wondered if she should give an answer. "I'm going to take him with me, in exchange for sparing humankind. It's a fair price, don't you think?" she answered as she stood behind Mykel.

"Where are you taking him to?" Elestria asked and she didn't like the idea of Mykel becoming Luciel's possession.

"Somewhere where no humankind can reach," Luciel answered with a mischievous smile as she stared at Elestria. "Looks like you have a regret for not letting him embrace you," she added.

Elestria was indeed regretting not letting Mykel embrace her because of the promise she made with Elysande. If she knew Mykel would leave her, she would have done something to be able to have a private conversation with him again.

Mykel walked toward Elestria and slowly reached her hands to comfort her and let her feel his touch.

"I will be back, Your Highness," Mykel said as he lifted Elestria's hand and kissed it. "When I come back, I hope you will become the greatest Queen," he looked Elestria in the eye.

"I promise I will become the greatest Queen. I will redeem all the wrongdoings I did and become the Queen you want me to be. But I want you to promise me that you will come back for me, no, for Elysande and me," Elestria responded as she held Mykel's hands tightly.

"I promise," Mykel smiled gently as he nodded his head.

Mykel let go of Elestria's hand and walked back to Luciel's side, but then he stopped. He turned around and then looked at Victoria and the others, he smiled at them and suddenly Sabel, Sophia, Duncan, and Felix's limbs exploded. They were shocked as their bodies fell to the ground, and before they could make any noise, their heads exploded.

Zachary, Aston, and Javelin moved away from them because they didn't want to die like them. Victoria, on the other hand, her face was covered in blood, shocked by what had happened to her allies.

"You said that you won't touch us?!" Elestria glared at Luciel in disbelief.

Luciel raised her eyebrows and looked at Elestria like she had no idea what Elestria was talking about. She then shook her head and then averted her gaze toward Mykel, making Elestria turn her head and look at him.

"Since it's over, this world doesn't need people like them. A bunch of criminals with powers like that will only bring trouble for everyone," Mykel said as he walked toward Victoria. "If we want a better world, we need to get rid of people like them, don't you agree?" He asked.

Victoria was afraid of Mykel and tried to avoid him by taking a few steps back. Before she could make a distance between her and Mykel, she was caught by him with his hand on her face. She couldn't use her power at all and how painful it was because Mykel was trying to break her skull.

"Do you remember what you did when we first met?" Mykel asked as he slowly lifted her off the ground.

Victoria would never forget when she spits on his face because it kept haunting her. She knew it would backfire on her, but she never thought the time was now.

"I told you, didn't I? I would remember this and you would pay for it," Mykel coldly stared at Victoria as he tightened his grip, cracking her jaws, forehead, and cheekbones. "I'm going to give you the most painful death, so enjoy it," he said and suddenly Victoria's body caught on fire.

Victoria was screaming her lungs out and everyone could feel the pain she was having by listening to her scream. Although they pitied her, nobody dared to stop Mykel because it was none of their business.

Mykel was burning her skin and flesh so slowly, making her suffer and every second felt like a minute. Her insides were like being squeezed and ripped apart over and over as her body was twitching in pain. She was on the brink of death, but Mykel made her live for a little bit more until he was satisfied.

Luciel questioned her own evilness after she witnessed how cruel and evil Mykel was. She thought she was heartless, but she never thought she would pity Victoria for her death.

"I change my mind. Death would be too nice for someone like you," Mykel extinguished the fire and then dropped Victoria to the ground. "You will live in eternal pain for the rest of your life. You won't be able to move or speak, you won't be able to think as your mind can only think of the pain in your body," he looked at Victoria screaming with her eyes wide open in fear and pain.

Everyone was petrified by the horror they witnessed, a gruesome way to make someone suffer like that was beyond their imagination. They knew Mykel was ruthless and heartless, but they never thought he was a hundred times worse than that.

"Aston, Javelin..." Mykel said as he kept staring at Victoria. "The four of you are now the only human beings with powers. What are you planning to do with the power you possess? I know that Zachary and Her Highness will use their powers for good without a doubt, but what about you two?" He glanced at them.

"W-we would use our power to help them make a better world. We swear on our lives and we will accept death if we use our powers for our own benefits," Aston answered with his trembling voice.

Javelin couldn't even open her mouth, but she could nod her head repeatedly and agree with what Aston said.

"I will remember those words," Mykel said as he walked away from them.

Luciel spread her wing and wrapped it around Mykel after she believed his finished all the business he had with them. She then flapped her wing, making a strong gust of wind and they both disappeared into thin air.

Elysande who had just come to check on Elestria and Mykel was too late to see him. She then looked at the gruesome scenery on the site, she was so sick that she almost threw up, but she managed to hold it in.

"Why did he lower himself all this time with that power he possesses?" Aston asked.

"No, he's not lowering himself..." Elestria shook her head. "He's elevating us, making us the only human beings that can make this world a better place. He's not a hero or a villain, he's someone that's necessary in this kind of world and situation," she answered.

They looked at Elestria and thought that Mykel had been harsh and heartless toward them, but it was necessary to shape them. To create a diamond it needed to be under a lot of pressure, shaping a diamond required another diamond to make it possible. He was in fact the pressure and the tool that shaped the diamond, that was what they believed after giving a long thought about him.

"Where's Mykel?" Elysande looked around as she stood behind Elestria, seeking comfort.

"He's gone. He won't be back anytime soon, and I don't know when he's going to come back," Elestria answered as she looked at the bright blue sky.

Elysande was taken aback by the answer, but it didn't take a while for her to accept it. She then looked at the sky and she had prepared for this moment because Mykel had informed her beforehand.

"I see. He will come back, and he will be fine," Elysande said with a smile.

"I believe so too. He told me to trust him, and this time I will trust him and we will wait for him to come back," Elestria smiled as she nodded her head in agreement. "It's over now. The world is safe Thanks to him," she turned around to look at Elestria.

"Hmm, I'm proud of you, Ester," Elsyande hugged Elestria so tightly. "Let's go home. The people are waiting for the good news," she said.

"Yes, the people need to know that it's finally over," Elestria nodded her head.
