Destroying My Own World

Jeanne offered her hands to Nagy and Lillith, and when they both grabbed her hands, she threw them both toward the giant winged eel. Although the winged eel was so big, it was as squishy as the normal one. It was so easy for them to cut its skin and flesh, but the problem would be the skin that was so slippery.

"Nagy, want to do something stupid?" Lillith asked as she was hanging on the winged eel’s body.

"No... I don’t want to make the same mistake that you did in Montana," Nagy answered as she shook her head because she already knew what Lillith was about to say. "I have an idea though. How about you follow me this time?" Nagy asked back as she looked at Lillith.

Lillith nodded her head, and then she saw Nagy pull her daggers out of the winged eel’s body. She then started climbing up as she carefully stabbed her daggers at the winged eel’s skin. Lillith followed her from below and it looked like Nagy was targeting the wings.

The giant winged eel flapped its wings, and that was a bad sign for both of them. They both immediately stabbed their daggers as deep as possible so they could hang on to something. The giant winged eel started flying up high into the sky and went beyond the clouds.

"This is the stupidest idea you have ever suggested!" Lillith shouted as she looked at Nagy who struggled to hold onto the winged eel’s body.

"Not really! Just watch and catch me!" Nagy replied.

Nagy suddenly launched herself up into the air, and she immediately swung her daggers to create multiple projectile attacks. She aimed at the eel’s wings and it was enough to cut both of the wings since she aimed at the core.

The eel was free-falling and so did Nagy, and then Lillith climbed the eel’s body to where Nagy would fall. She climbed as fast as she could, and then she grabbed Nagy’s left leg, and she barely lost her grip.

"Now what? We are going down," Lillith asked.

"Well, let’s just hope Jeanne and the others can use this chance to kill the eel," Nagy answered.

Jeanne looked at the eel slowly going down to the sea, and she immediately told Sven and the others to get ready. She scraped the ice with the tip of her blade, and when the eel’s head was about to hit the water, she then leaped when she reached the edge of the iceberg.

Sven, Vincze, and Bhatmelec followed Jeanne from behind without hesitation even though the distance between the iceberg and the eel was a hundred meters away. Zhang, Ren, and Jeong couldn’t help but be shocked by how far they could jump and how crazy they were to do such a thing.

Jeanne was the first one to slice the eel’s head, but her cut wasn’t deep enough since she lost quite a lot of momentum because of how far it was. Sven and Vincze slice the other side of the head, but they both also couldn’t cut it deep enough. Finally, Bhatmelec thrust her sword right in the middle and then swung it as hard as she could.

Zhang, Ren, and Jeong got dumbfounded when they saw the eel’s head was detached from its body. They all then saw the notification in front of them for defeating the calamity. They still couldn’t believe it even though they saw it with their own two eyes.

After the giant winged eel got killed, all the other winged eels swam away. The whirlpool stopped and the head ship immediately sailed around the iceberg to get Jeanne and the others. Everyone safely boarded the ship even though they all smelled like fish.

Everyone decided to dock on the nearest island, and they were all resting as they were checking one of the winged eels that they brought with them. They got fascinated by the material of the wings of the eel because it was so soft and yet so strong. Zhang planned to process the material and make armor with it, so he planned on going back into the portal soon to harvest and collect the materials.

"We are done here, right? I want to go back to check on Elena’s condition," Jeanne said.

Zhang nodded his head with understanding and they all went back to where the portal was. It was quite far away, and it might have taken them an hour to just get back there.

(At the airport)

Magnus landed with his spear in his hand, and he immediately went to where the hotel was. He didn’t actually know what had happened, but Mykel called him and asked him for a favor to come to China as fast as he could. He didn’t ask any questions and went straight to the airport because Mykel’s voice sounded different.

Magnus hurriedly went to the room hotel where Mykel stayed with a spare key that the receptionist gave him at Mykel’s request. When he opened the door, his face was licked by the heat and it was hotter than inside the portal in Montana. He looked around and saw all the glasses shattered on the ground and he could see the heat in the air.

"Mykel?" Magnus asked as he covered his face with the back of his hand.

"Over here," Mykel said as he got up from bed. "Let me borrow your spear," Mykel reached out his hand at Magnus.

"What? What do you need my spear for?" Magnus asked with a confused look. He then looked at the bed and saw a woman with white long hair. "Who’s that?" Magnus asked again.

"You ask too many questions, just give me the spear," Mykel said as he walked toward Magnus.

Magnus felt the stings all over his face and it felt like his face was being peeled off. He realized the heat was coming from Mykel’s body, and so he tried to get away from Mykel.

"Whatever you want to do, you can’t do it. My spear isn’t like any other artifact. Only I can use its power," Magnus answered.

"I see, then use your power on her. Use that beam that you released when you tried to kill the giant golem," Mykel said as she pointed at Elena.

"What?! Are you crazy?! Do you want to kill her?" Magnus asked with his eyes wide open and stared at Mykel in disbelief.

"I swear if you say another word and don’t do what I said, I’ll kill you," Mykel said as he looked at Magnus with a serious expression.

Magnus immediately held his spear with both hands and pointed it at the woman on the bed that he didn’t know who that was. He gathered all the life energy into the spear, and since he didn’t want to kill a person, he only used ten percent of the artifact’s power.

"More, use everything you have," Mykel said.

Magnus wanted to say something, but Mykel’s gaze made him shut his mouth and do what Mykel had told him. He then increased the power of his spear to his limit, and when he charged the spear with an immense amount of life energy, he shot it right at the woman’s body as he closed his eyes.

He thought that he would hear a scream, but to his surprise, there was nothing. He slowly opened his eyes and he was shocked when he saw the beam that he released didn’t only hit the woman, but the beam was being sucked into the woman’s body.

"Keep it steady and don’t stop," Mykel said as he walked to the bed.

The blanket and the bed got torn apart, and that was when Magnus realized who that woman was when he saw the tattoos. He was speechless when he saw Elena’s condition and how she looked so skinny and old.

Magnus started to see shadows in his visions, and he started to lose strength in his hands and feet.

"How much longer do I have to do this?" Magnus asked as he was dripping sweat from all over his body.

"As long as you can," Mykel answered.

Mykel watched as Elena’s body slowly gained weight and her skin became much brighter. Her hair turned brown again and she was no longer in pain as Magnus kept showering her with life energy.

She slowly regained consciousness, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Mykel sitting next to her as she felt the warmth of the life energy around her. She looked at Magnus who looked red as an apple, and then Magnus dropped his spear and collapsed to the ground.

"Dad," Elena said as she glimmered in tears and hugged Mykel so tightly.

"Welcome back," Mykel smiled.
