Destroying My Own World

Chapter 171 My life isn't mine anymore.

uriel was contemplating as she stared at mykel who seemed to genuinely want to get rid of the power. she then looked at amaryllis and she could tell how shocked she was and that convinced uriel that mykel was really desperate.

she looked at the seeds on the floor in front of her, and then she took them all and stored them inside her chest. seeing that, amaryllis canceled her power on uriel and let her stand up.

"i can't promise you that i can help you, but you can have my word that i'll do what i can," uriel said as she stood up and looked at mykel in his chair. "i'll tell him about your situation and ask for his guidance," uriel pointed out.

"fair enough," mykel said as he weakly smiled at uriel.

amaryllis opened a portal for uriel to let her go back to earth, but when uriel was about to enter the portal she stopped. she turned around and looked at mykel as she raised her hand.

"can you do me a favor, mykel?" uriel asked with her eyebrows raised. "the situation down there on earth. you must have known about what's going on with the lord's disciples, your former partner, sasha, and the others," uriel added.

"are you talking about lucifer and the princes of hell that's roaming on earth right now?" mykel asked back.

"yes. he's trying to corrupt them all, and we as their guardians can't do anything about it because lucifer manipulated the system. if you can, please save them," uriel said with a worried expression.

"i think you're asking too much because there's no benefit for me from doing that," mykel said and stared uriel in the eye. "i don't have any business with them, and that's exactly why i haven't done anything to them," mykel pointed out.

uriel smiled as she nodded her head with understanding.

"you know about it, don't you? about the caveat scroll," uriel asked, but mykel didn't say anything and didn't bother to think about it. "i see. so you have no plan on saving her or earth. i wonder why it's so complicated for me to understand you," uriel said and then entered the portal.

amaryllis closed the portal and made sure that uriel left earth by observing her like a satellite. after she was sure that uriel had left earth, she approached mykel and looked at him with a confused look.

"are you really that desperate?" amaryllis asked.

"yes," mykel answered as he stared amaryllis in the eye. "this is the second time i have seen her cry. i don't want to make her sad anymore," mykel added and smiled gently.

people started to learn more about that from historians and demonologists to gather information. as far as mykel remembered all the dukes of hell from the first to the fourth layers had been consumed by aurea, and there shouldn't be that many left. he wondered if lucifer made them believe they had encountered the dukes of hell and deceived them or if he brought the dukes of hell from the lower layers to the surface.

mykel waited until night and he never thought he had to wait for ten hours in the office. when he was deep in thought, he saw elena through the glass wall and entered his office. she looked like she didn't want to see him yet, but in the end, she came for him.

"i don't really want to go anywhere right now," elena said as she stood in front of the door.

"even for a drink?" mykel asked with his eyebrows raised.

"that would be nice," elena smiled weakly.

mykel approached elena and then grabbed her hand as he led her to the elevator. he didn't let go of her hand and she stared at it as they went to the lobby. mykel brought her to the bar just the two of them inside.

"i'm not going to ask you to do it anymore," mykel said as he looked at elena holding a bottle of beer. "i think you already know that and i'm getting help to get rid of this power," mykel added.

"i already know about that as well," elena replied and then emptied the bottle. "you have really gone that far to get rid of it," elena looked at mykel and was touched by it.

"i realize that my life doesn't belong just to me anymore," mykel paused. "you have the right to have half of my life, and i'm being selfish. i realize if you were in my shoes, i wouldn't want to do it as well. from now on, i will do whatever you want or say" mykel continued and looked at elena.

"only half?" elena asked with her eyebrows raised.

"don't be too greedy. the other half is for your little sister, sasha," mykel answered with a smile.

"fair enough," elena rested her head on mykel's shoulder and she felt a lot better. "i love you," elena said quietly.

"i love you too, elena," mykel replied.
