Destroying My Own World

Mykel looked at the Empyrium Steel that was as big as a mountain that had been turned into a small hill. They mined the whole thing and turned them into small pieces so everyone could turn them into weapons and sets of armor. Since Shelly and Rozan knew how to process them, it was all up to Mykel to turn them into a masterpiece.

"Do you need any help with these?" Aurea asked as she looked at the Empyrium Steel around her.

"Do you want to make your own sword? I’ll let you choose the design," Mykel said. "But first, lend me your sword," Mykel reached out his hand at Aurea.

"Oh, I know what I want," Aurea answered as she offered her sword to Mykel. "Why do you want to use my sword?" Aurea asked as she grabbed a handful of Empyrium Steel on the ground.

Mykel didn’t say a word and he didn’t hesitate to cut off his left arm, right on the artery which took him quite a lot of effort. Aurea was shocked when she saw Mykel’s hand fall right next to her feet. She then looked at Mykel manipulating the blood and putting it right inside the bucket.

"Mykel! What are you doing?!" Aurea shouted.

Everyone looked at Mykel and was petrified when they saw he had lost a hand. They approached him and wanted to heal the open wound, but Mykel stopped them and made them watch.

Mykel used the system to prevent him from regenerating his hand and let the blood keep flowing and producing. After a few minutes, he collected a few buckets filled with his blood, and then he regenerated his hand.

"What’s the point of doing that?" Aurea asked.

"You’ll see. Now, you guys help me make weapons for everyone," Mykel said to Sven, Vincze, Gerrard, and Gunnar.

Mykel forged the Empyrium Steel and smeared it with his blood thinly every time he shaped it. Once the Empyrium Steel had been shaped, he dipped it into the bucket filled with his blood as he tried to cool it down. Everyone watched the whole process so they could copy him on how to do it.

It took Mykel an hour to finally create a sword made out of his blood and the Empyrium Steel. The blade was darker and a bit red than a normal blade when it got exposed to the sun. He then swung it around to feel the heaviness of the blade, and for some reason, it felt lighter compared to the one that Jeanne had.

"Go and stress test it with Jeanne’s sword," Mykel said as he threw the sword at Aurea.

"With pleasure," Aurea smiled in excitement as she stared at the blade.

Aurea swung the sword around and test how it felt while Jeanne unsheathed her sword. They both stared at each other for a moment and then Aurea activated her [Brute] skill as she dashed forward.

Everyone could barely see anything, and suddenly they heard a loud banging sound in the air. The impact of the swords released a shockwave that was enough to destroy their surroundings. Rozan created a barrier in front of them to prevent everyone from getting hurt or even dead.

Whenever those two sparred, it would cause heavy destruction to their surroundings. It would be impossible for them to stop until either one of them was dead or heavily injured. The scariest part was that the battle only lasted for a few minutes because they always went all out.

It was like a normal day for Rozan and the others, but for Brynhilde and the others, it was terrifyingly amazing. They could see the sky was torn apart because of them and how the wind blew making natural disasters in the sky, the ground, and the sea.

Jeanne and Aurea suddenly appeared right above the ground and swung their swords with all their might. The moment it clashed, Jeanne’s sword shattered into pieces and it shocked her because she had just repaired it and made it a lot sharper and stronger.

"I lost..." Jeanne said in disbelief.

"Not only that you lose, look at this sword," Aurea said as she showed the blade to Jeanne. "It’s still clean without a single scratch on it. This sword is invincible," Aurea pointed out as she stabbed the sword to the ground.

"How was it?" Mykel asked as he approached them.

"Unbelievable. I can’t wait to make my own sword with your blood," Aurea answered as she looked at the sword. "This is just a prototype, right? If we use more of your blood, I think we can make something twice or even ten times stronger than this," Aurea pointed out.

"It’s worth the try," Mykel said.

They spent a whole month there, and they all got their own weapon and set of armor. Their weapons were so sharp that they were too scared to hold them because a single cut on their bodies was enough to kill them.

"Now that you guys got your own weapon, it’s time for you all to ascend," Mykel said as he looked at them. "I’ll turn each one of you to be a God," Mykel continued.

They were speechless and didn’t know how to react whether to be excited or scared. They weren’t sure if they were ready for it or not no matter how good their weapon and armor were.

"You don’t have to worry. They will train you until you’re ready," Mykel said as he pointed at Rozan and the others who stood right behind him. "You will be ready once you guys can survive against these three," Mykel said as he pointed at Jeanne, Aurea, and Bhatmelec.

They gulped because they had seen Jeanne and Aurea fight, and it would be a death wish to fight them. Then a notification appeared right in front of them, the system giving them a few options of what kind of power they wanted.

"We’ll stay here until all of you are ready. So pick your poison," Mykel said.

They stayed there for another three months until every single one of them was qualified to be on the team. It was a surprise that it only took them three months, but it was a given since they chose their own skills and mastered them quite fast. They were trying their best, and they even died countless times because they were pushing themselves to the limit.

"Ready to go?" Mykel asked as he looked at them.

They all nodded their heads in agreement, and then Mykel warped them back to Earth. Jeanne guided the ladies to the penthouse so they could rest while Rozan guided the guys to their penthouse. It shocked them that they were only gone for four hours even though they spent four months in the Empyrean World.

"Dad, you want to see this," Elena said as soon as she saw Mykel enter the penthouse.

Mykel walked to the living room and saw the news about the Redshield Guild leaving the Guilds of the World. It shocked him because he didn’t know anything about it, so he decided to make a phone call, to Alfredo. He waited, but nobody picked up the phone, and he started to feel suspicious about what was going on. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"He’s not picking up?" Elena asked as she looked at Mykel.

"No, nothing," Mykel shook his head. "I’m going to see Lyneth if she knows anything about this," Mykel said and then went to her office through a warp.

Lyneth was watching the same news as well in her office, and she looked shocked.

"Mykel? Have you seen this?" Lyneth asked.

"I came for that. Did Alfredo leave a message or anything related to this?" Mykel asked back.

"No, there’s nothing. Have you tried to call him and ask the reason why the Redshield Guild left?" Lyneth asked.

"He’s not picking up my calls," Mykel answered as he shook his head.

Suddenly the phone on the desk rang, and Lyneth immediately picked it up. She was talking with the receptionist, and she was surprised when she heard why the receptionist called her.

"President Richard wants to see you in person. He’s on his way to the meeting room Lyneth looked at Mykel as she hung up the phone.

"I’ll go meet him privately," Mykel said and then left.

Mykel entered the meeting room and saw Richard on his own in the room while the bodyguards were waiting outside. He sat down on the opposite side of the table as he looked at Richard’s worried expression.

"I’ll cut to the chase. Alfredo is dead," Richard said.

"Dead? When?" Mykel was a bit surprised.

"Last night, heart failure," Alfredo answered.

"Do you believe that?" Mykel asked with his eyebrows raised.

"No. Something is going on over there, Mykel. I believe he was murdered," Richard answered. Stay tuned for updates on empire

"What makes you think he was murdered?" Mykel asked.

"I have sent people to meet him, but they all went missing and I assume they’re already dead as well," Alfredo answered.
