Destroying My Own World

Chapter 125 It was the plan all along.

The people were fighting to take the shelters that Lyneth and Edith had provided. There were too many people and so few places, and nobody wanted to give their spots to those who already got theirs. They didn't care about older people, kids, or women, they only cared for themselves.

Since there weren't that many soldiers in New York, they couldn't contain or calm the people. Their instructions were ignored, and even if they used force, nobody would care and keep fighting.

"Look at those people. They dirtied and vandalized our buildings, and yet here they are, using our facilities with no shame," Lyneth said as she looked out at the street inside the car. "Once this is over, we can finally make this whole continent ours. There will be no one that can stop us now," Lyneth continued.

"Isn't the continent too big for all of us? What are we going to do with it?" Edith asked as she drove the car.

"Who knows? Mykel is the one who planned to create an empire here, so I think he has something in mind," Lyneth answered and checked the short sword in her hands. "I might not be able to help much, so you're going to handle everything. You take the lead and I'll follow," Lyneth said.

"But Miss Lyneth, don't you have that skill? I think you can handle everything by yourself if you used it," Edith pointed out and looked at Lyneth.

"I could, but there are too many eyes. Using it might stir problems and they would think that I'm not human," Lyneth said as she put the sword in the backseat. "They will be suspicious of me, and I don't want that," Lyneth added and fixed her hair.

"Well then, I'll gladly take the lead. It has been a while for me as well, but since these demons belong to Amaryllis, we won't be taking it seriously. She had warned us and she personally told us that we will be fine," Edith pointed out.

They had arrived at the highway, and it was crowded with people trying to enter New York. Those people would only die since they could see the hordes of demons in the distance.

Lyneth and Edith decided to stay in the car and wait until most of the people died. They didn't need more people in their city since it was already crowded with refugees.

"Here they come," Lyneth said and saw cars flying in the distance from getting attacked by demons.

They could see people screaming in fear and panic as they tried to enter the city on foot. It only took the demons a few minutes until most of the people on the highway died. After that, Lyneth and Edith walked out of the car with their weapons ready in their hands.

Edith dashed forward and swung her daggers on the road, creating a massive projectile attack that was enough to separate the road and made a huge crevasse. The demons who were flying and walking there got cut in half or destroyed into pieces.

"Have you forgotten about what Mykel said back then in Norway? He had stated that we, the Rebirth Guild won't care about your struggle against demons. Isn't that what this is all about? You're lucky that you came here because this place is our empire, and we both are protecting it from demons," Lyneth said as she leaned forward and rested her arms that were crossed on the table. "But now, the threat isn't just demons for the Rebirth Guild. Humans are also a threat," Lyneth added and stared Richard in the eye.

Richard's heart skipped a beat when he heard that, and he realized that he had nobody else to protect him. It could be said that the United States didn't exist anymore because there wasn't a single power left. The only one who still held power was the Rebirth Guild, and now that it had come to that, they had no reason to keep him alive.

"I can see that you understand the situation you're in right now. You realize that it's over for you and the remaining survivors in this country. Your time is over, Richard, and your fate is now in my hand," Lyneth said.

Richard was thinking of running away, but he realized that Edith was no longer there next to Lyneth. Suddenly a dagger was right under his chin and ready to cut his throat open. He started to sweat and breathe heavily out of fear, and he tried too hard to find a way out a safe one.

"Is this what Mykel has been planning to do? To take over the whole nation for himself?" Richard asked in a trembling voice.

"Of course. He has planned this from the beginning, long before you found us," Lyneth answered with a mischievous smile.

"Do you even realize what you guys did? You killed innocent lives just so you can take their home and land," Richard asked.

"Please, you worked for the Redshield family," Lyneth scoffed. "You manipulated the world economy and killed more people than we do. You made people suffer as you become richer and richer," Lyneth pointed out as she stared Richard in the eye.

Lyneth suddenly stood up and slowly walked toward Richard as she scraped the table with her nails.

"Enough with the meaningless talk, and you can't leave this place no matter what you're going to offer. We don't need you, we never do," Lyneth said as she stood right next to Richard. "Goodbye, Richard. You were quite useful for us," Lyneth continued.

Edith slit Richard's throat and let him bleed to death. She and Lyneth watched him struggle and tried to stop the bleeding by putting his hands on his neck. Edith didn't cut his throat widely so he would suffer and struggle as long as he could.

It took him three minutes until he finally stopped moving and bathed his body in his blood. He died with his eyes and mouth wide open, and then Edith cleaned all the mess up with magic, including burning Richard's body into ashes.

"It's finally done. Now we proceed on the next step," Lyneth said as she looked at the crowds on the streets.
