Destroying My Own World-Chapter 43 - : Good news.
Anzel walked out of the international airport in Paris and could see the morning sun. The air felt different, but it was colder there compared to New York, and he was surprised that the city looked dead. He knew that they still had to clear the city from the demons, and he realized how fast Mykel and his team were to get rid of the demons.
"Anzel!" A woman’s voice could be heard from the hallway.
Anzel looked to his right and saw a dark brown-haired woman as tall as him waving her hand at him. She wore a black leather jacket with a white tank top underneath, black jeans, and black boots.
"Gea?" Anzel asked with his eyebrows raised as he looked at the woman.
"Yeah! Welcome to Paris!" Gea said as she spread her arms with a huge smile on his face. "But I guess it doesn’t look great at the moment. We are still fighting demons around here," Gea continued as she looked at the city.
"Glad that I’m here. I can help you guys with that," Anzel said as he fixed his backpack on his back.
"Yeah, but before that. I’m surprised when you messaged me and said that you were on a flight here. You said you would explain it to me once you’re here, and now that you’re here, let’s talk," Gea said with her arms crossed.
Gea brought Anzel to the nearest cafe so they could talk while they were enjoying their coffee and food. Anzel explained to her about what had happened, and about the being that he had been speaking with. Gea was surprised when the being warned Anzel about Mykel which made him leave and go to France.
"Is that being your sponsor?" Gea asked.
"No. I honestly haven’t experienced something like some of the Awakeners when Gods contacted them. This being isn’t God, but something else," Anzel answered as he ate his bagel sandwich.
"Is that being with us right now?" Gea asked.
"I don’t know, but it won’t speak to me even if I try to communicate. It comes and goes as it pleases, so I really can get any more information about it. Although, I got a coordinate from it," Anzel answered and grabbed his phone.
Anzel showed the coordinates to Gea, and it was not that far from where they were. Norway was right above France and it only took them a few hours of flight and a day of driving.
"Do you want to go there?" Gea asked as she held her cup of coffee.
"No, not yet. The being told me that I’m not ready yet. It said that we all should go there together," Anzel answered and ordered another bagel sandwich because it was delicious.
"We?" Gea asked with her eyebrows raised.
"All the Virtues Series skill Awakeners. Since there are still five of us and we need two more, we can’t go there yet," Anzel answered. "Speaking of it, I think we can meet each other now, right? I heard Australia and Russia start to open the airports," Anzel continued and took a huge bite of the bagel sandwich.
"I’ll ask them, but first we should take a photo together as proof that you’re here with me!" Gea said as she showed her phone.
Gea and Anzel posed and took a selfie together, and then Gea posted it on the group chat. The first one to react was that their newest member was a woman from Korea, and her name was Eun Soo. She possessed a Virtue skill called [Third Virtue: Kindness] which was totally different from [Fourth Virtue: Charity].
Eun’s [Third Virtue: Kindness] skill was a support skill that allowed her to show kindness that could heal any kind of wounds and injuries. Her power could even cure late-stage cancer, and her power grew stronger as she kept rising her skill. They believed that one day her skill could bring someone back to life.
Eun Soo became famous in a single night because of her skill, and she was called the Priestess. She got recruited into the biggest guild in Korea which was the Sinhwa Clan.
"Two left, huh? Temperance and Humility. I wonder when will the last two appear," Gea said as she looked at the selfie she had just sent to the group.
"I hope they appear soon because we are given such power. We are indirectly responsible for all the human race and we have to protect them with it," Anzel answered as he grabbed his cup of coffee.
"Just like Asmond," Gea chuckled. "But the answer to our question is still nowhere to be found," Gea said as she leaned on her chair.
"About what happened to Asmond? I think Mykel is the only one who knows the answer. If Asmond was brought here, I think he could easily save this world," Anzel answered.
They were thinking about it, but then the group chat became so lively because of the selfie that Gea sent. Danny and Anastasia were so jealous because they also wanted to meet with them. They both then said that they could go and meet them soon because they were still needed in their own country to kill the demons.
When Gea and Anzel were busy chatting in the group chat, the sound of sirens could be heard in the distance. Gea told him that that was a sign of a demon sighting and that it was a call for help to Awakeners. They both then left to hunt demons since it was their only job as Anzel said earlier.
(At the meeting room in Rebirth Guild Headquarters)
Mykel was talking with all the Guildmasters through a video call, and he gave them information about the portal. He gave everything he knew without hiding a single thing from them to gain their trust, and they appreciated his honesty and kept his word.
"You believe that each portal has a different difficulty? We have checked the portal in Warsaw, Poland, and it was totally different from the one in Montana. The place was nothing but rocks, hills, and mountains," Lazarus said as he looked at Mykel.
"Yes. Because here, if you don’t have a heat resistance skill, you might die from the heat alone. I’m not sure about your place, but there should be something that requires you from clearing that place," Mykel explained.
"The portal in China is also different. The place was a vast sea with islands, and it appears that we have to create a ship or a boat to travel there," Zhang said. "We haven’t met with the monsters because we only checked our surroundings and left immediately," he continued.
"What about in Africa?" Mykel asked Shanka and Darius.
"It was snow, and we couldn’t see anything else because it was too cold for us. I think we have to have a cold resistance skill to be able to survive there," Shanka answered. "We also heard that the one in Australia is a vast jungle with trees that blocked the sky," Shanka pointed out.
"What about South America?" Magnus asked Mykel.
"It’s a hell hole over there. As we speak, the population keeps decreasing over there because there weren’t that many Chosen Ones. They can’t keep up with the breakout and not to mention the great demon that’s still wandering around," Mykel answered.
They kept discussing the portals for hours, and then Mykel proposed something to them that they couldn’t decline. He offered them all to come to the United States and let them enter the portal so they all could use that place as a hunting ground and increase their levels. He already told them about the Sandworm’s weaknesses, and it would be an easy fight since they knew about it.
"That’s all for today, I’ll be waiting for your arrival," Mykel said and then disconnected from the video call.
Mykel left the meeting room, but then Lyneth approached him and told him there was someone who wanted to meet him. He knew who that person was and he told her to let the person meet him in his office.
"Good afternoon, Mister Mykel," Johan said as he entered Mykel’s office. Johan was Alfredo’s trusted advisor. "It smells weird in here," Johan said as he looked at the bloodstains on the window and floor.
"I was taking care of some stuff, sorry for the mess," Mykel said as he looked at the stains. "Since you’re here already, everything is in there," Mykel said as he looked at the big hard cases in the corner of the room.
Johan looked at the hard cases and decided to check each one of them. He looked at the artifacts that Mykel brought back, and he was amazed by them and could tell that each one of them was worth billions of dollars.
"There are a total of twelve artifacts, and all of them are there," Mykel said as he looked at Johan’s huge smile. "I’m not sure what kind of effects those artifacts do, but I can assure you that all of them are artifacts," Mykel continued.
"I believe you. Sir Alfredo would be pleased when he saw these. You really kept your promise," Johan replied as he touched each one of the artifacts. "Now that I got what I wanted, and Sir Alfredo personally asked me to come here to get this, you should know by now why he did that," Johan said as he closed all the cases.
"Since what I want is worth more than those, I’ll ask what it is after I got all the artifacts from the Winter Guild that they brought into the portal in Warsaw. I believe these and those that Winter Guild had should be enough for the payment," Mykel answered as he looked at Johan.
Johan raised his eyebrows with a curious look, but then he smiled as he nodded his head with understanding.
"Sir Alfredo would love to hear the good news," Johan smiled.
