Destroying My Own World-Chapter 42 - : Who to fear.

Mykel was enjoying his coffee as he sat on top of his desk and suddenly he saw a tooth just fall onto his carpet. He glanced at Anderson and Eric who were covered in their own blood as their bodies trembled in pain and fear. He wasn’t even bothered by the amount of blood on his carpet and the screams of pain that he had been hearing for an hour.

"Looks like you still don’t want to open your mouth. I exception nothing less from ordinary soldiers who fought demons without superpowers," Mykel said as he fixed his gloves.

"We... We told you there’s nothing else that we can say because that’s all we know..." Anderson said unclearly because he lost most of his teeth. "Please... we don’t have anything that you want, Mister Mykel," Anderson continued as his eyes glimmered in tears.

Mykel didn’t buy it because Anderson lied back then, and knowing that Anderson would keep his mouth sealed, that only made Mykel more curious about what they knew. He then let Lillith play more with Anderson until he could no longer scream or cry.

"We can do this all day, and the longer you keep it from me, the less chance for you to survive," Mykel said as he grabbed his cup of coffee.

"I swear to God! I don’t know anything!" Anderson used his last energy in those words.

"You should consider whom you’re here with. You should know who to fear. You might fear the demons, but you should fear more the people who hunt demons for profits," Mykel said and took a sip of his coffee. "Also, your God won’t help you here. You can choose between cripple for the rest of your life or death," Mykel warned.

Lillith started to stab her dagger at Anderson’s lower gum and plucked out his teeth one by one. Eric was forced to look at how Lillith tortured Anderson by Aurea and she was holding a dagger in her hand and pointed it at his left eye. If he closed or even looked away, she would gouge his left eye slowly and painfully.

Mykel watched Lillith put her index finger into Anderson’s mouth and scratch the nerves that were hanging out from the gum. Anderson was screaming as he sobbed and trembled in pain that he had never felt in his entire life.

Mykel’s office was soundproof, so anyone outside his office couldn’t hear anything. They couldn’t hear a grown man cry and scream like a little girl.

"I’ll tell you everything! Please stop torturing him! I beg you!" Eric glared at Mykel.

Mykel smirked and he knew that Eric would speak up because he could tell how weak he was compared to Anderson, mentally. He had been ignoring Eric and letting Eric experience and witness the gruesome that Lillith did so he would open his mouth.

"Speak," Mykel said as he put his cup of coffee down.

Eric was about to speak, but Lillith didn’t stop torturing Anderson.

"Tell her to stop first! I won’t say anything if she won’t stop!" Eric shouted and kept glaring at Mykel.

"She will stop once you gave me everything. Or you can keep your mouth shut and let Anderson die since his life is now in your hand," Mykel replied as he sat down on his chair. "Start talking," Mykel stared Eric in the eye and he was dead serious about it.

"Mykel Alester the author of Towers of Demon! You and the characters you created! We know about them! Jeanne, Lyneth, Gunnar, Rozan, Gerrard, Sven, Vincze, Enma, everyone!" Eric pointed out. "Anzel was the one who told us about it, and there are people who know about it as well. Those who know the story are Awakened with special skills!" Eric continued and made it as short as possible so Lillith could stop torturing Anderson.

Lillith and Aurea stared at each other, but they weren’t that surprised because Mykel knew something like that would happen anytime soon.

"Virtue skill?" Mykel asked as he grabbed a pack of cigarettes in his suit’s pocket.

"Yes! Right now there are five of them around the world and Anzel is one of them!" Eric answered as he looked at Anderson.

"How did Anzel know there are five of them? I deleted my novel," Mykel asked as he put a cigarette in his mouth.

"The forum, novelkiss forum where people discuss about books," Eric answered as fast as he could.

Mykel lit his cigarette and took his time as Lillith kept torturing Anderson to her heart’s content.

"I see, but you both aren’t awakened. Does that mean it only worked to people who know the full story of my novel?" Mykel asked and puffed the smoke out.

"That’s what Anzel believes. That’s all we know, so please stop torturing Anderson!" Eric shouted.

Mykel looked at Aurea instead of Lillith, he then nodded his head up at Eric. Aurea smiled and slit Eric’s throat so slowly until he gargled in his own blood as he tried to scream. At the same time, Lillith stopped torturing Anderson and let him look at his friend die a slow and painful death.

"You don’t look surprised. I guess it’s given since you both know about my secret and you both are threats to me," Mykel said as he stood up and then walked toward Anderson. "But, I’m not going to put you on the same fate as him. I’m going to make Anzel see with his own two eyes the consequence of telling my secret to someone else," Mykel continued as he stood in front of Anderson.

Mykel snapped his fingers and suddenly, Eric’s body was caught on purple fire. His body melted and turned into ashes, but the flame swallowed the ashes and left nothing. It happened in just a few seconds, and it terrified Anderson to his core.

"What do you want me to do with him?" Lillith asked. freewёbnoνel.com

"Make him blind, deaf, mute, and cripple. Make sure that he can’t move his limbs and give any signal by using his body," Mykel answered.

"Should I do it here? It’s going to be messy though," Lillith said as she pointed the bloody dagger in her hand at Anderson.

"You can do it here. You can take your time, I’ll wait while I look at the forum that Eric said," Mykel said as he walked back to his desk. "Make it look like he got attacked by demons," Mykel pointed out as he opened his laptop.

"Okay," Lillith said as she cleaned her dagger.

Anderson was desperate and he had zero chance of getting out of that situation. He then looked at Mykel and realized why Anzel hesitated to meet Mykel. He finally knew the reason, Mykel was the embodiment of the devil, or even worse than the devil.

Aurea sat on top of the desk as she took a peek at the forum that Mykel had opened. She was curious about those Awakeners with skills called Virtue and how special they were.

It only took Mykel a few minutes until he found a discussion forum about his novelkiss. He looked at the latest posts and found the discussion that Anzel started.

As Mykel explained to Aurea and Lillith about the Seven Heavenly Virtues, he found something interesting. He found a name in one of the posts, Gea Lupin, and she also gave her information on where she lived. Mykel finally knew the reason why Anzel went to France, and he never thought it would be that easy.

"That was fast," Aurea said as she looked at Mykel saving Gea Lupin’s name on his phone.

"You’ll be surprised how clumsy people are," Mykel answered and put his phone on the desk. "Eric said they’re are five of them now, and that included Anzel. There are two lefts, and I wonder what will happen if all the Virtues skill have been given to these Awakeners," Mykel pointed out as he leaned on his chair and watched Lillith work.

"Something big?" Lillith asked as she slowly gouged Anderson’s right eye. "Seven Deadly Sins, Seven Heavenly Virtues, Seven Princes of Hell, Seven Archangels. You said that both Gods and Demons are going after you, so now we have extras enemies. Archangels and Virtues Awakeners," Lillith explained after she cut off Anderson’s tongue and started to cut his vocal cord through his mouth.

"Something is bothering me though," Lillith said as she stabbed Anderson’s eardrum. "From millions of people who read your story, there are only seven of them left in this world? That doesn’t make any sense," Lillith continued and started to cripple Anderson.

"It doesn’t unless the Lord or whoever Lucifer worships decided to kill all of them and keep the seven of them alive," Aurea replied as she looked at Lillith. "In the end, any omnipotent being is still doing whatever they want for fun and game," Aurea continued.

"There will be more surprise in the future, so don’t let this one bothers you," Mykel said as he shut his laptop.

"What are you going to do?" Aurea asked.

"Wait and see. Looks like the Lord is joining the game and I’m interested in what the Lord can offer," Mykel answered as he blankly stared at nothing.
