Destroying My Own World

Chapter 14: Noble Cause.

"How was the trip here? Looks like you guys had some trouble back there?" Sven asked and looked at how some of the cars were heavily damaged. There were also some Awakeners who lost a limb or two and were being treated as soon as they got out of the car.

"Are you making fun of us even though you can see it clearly with your own eyes?" Travis asked as he stood right in front of Sven and Sven looked so tiny in front of him.

The demons started to swarm the city and the areas in Montana because the Gatekeeper died. It was expected and that was why they were in a really bad condition.

"What's your problem? We are not the ones who asked you to come here. We have to wait for hours here just for you even though we can go right to Washington and take back the state for you. You're not only wasting our time, but you guys are also bringing heavy luggage with you," Sven answered.

Travis clenched his fists, and when he wanted to raise his right hand, Morris grabbed it and pulled it back down. Morris tried to calm Travis down, but he wasn't the only one who got pissed, the Awakeners that heard it were furious at Sven.

"He's telling the truth, and it's a fact. Yet you guys can't accept it and show your hatred toward him? You guys are really something," Lillith said and scoffed as she looked down on them.

"Shut the fuck up," A woman with black hair that covered her left eye with her bang.

"See that? That's what a loser would say once they lost in an argument," Lillith chuckled and pointed at the woman. "If you want me to shut up, make me," Lillith smirked as she pulled her daggers from the back of her waist and walked toward the woman.

Victor glanced at the woman and didn't say anything. The woman then pulled out her sword from her back, but Lillith suddenly dashed toward her at full speed. The woman couldn't react to Lillith's speed at all, and she was pushed down to the ground.

Lillith was sitting on top of the woman and her daggers were right on the woman's throat. She didn't hesitate to scratch the woman's neck and made it bleed. Victor who saw that immediately drew his sword and put it on Lillith's neck.

"Get off of her, or I'll cut your throat," Victor said coldly.

"Make me," Lillith smirked and her eyes were dead serious. She then suddenly pushed her neck down and blood started dripping on the blade.

Victor hesitated because he had never killed a human before, but looking at how dangerous the situation had become, he didn't know what to do. He was in a tight spot on whether he should keep it going or not because he was being judged and stared at by James and the others.

"Lilly, that's enough..." Mykel said as he sighed.

Lillith pulled her daggers away from the woman's neck as she chuckled mischievously. She stood up and looked at Victor who was frozen still because he was in shock when Lillith pushed her neck down and let him scratch her neck with his sharp blade.

"Pussy," Lillith said as she wiped the blood from her neck with her thumb, and then licked it clean as she walked back.

James paid attention to Lillith and he saw and heard her giggle after what had happened to her. He shook his head in disbelief to think someone would be crazy enough to think it was a joke even though she was trying to kill that woman. He started to think if each one of the members of Mykel's team were as crazy as Lillith because none of them were worried about her nor showing any sympathy to those heavily injured people.

"She's sick in the head," The woman said as she tried to stop the bleeding.

"They survived on their own for a year, I don't know what they have been through, so I guess you're right," Travis said. "Are you okay though, Triss?" Travis looked at the woman.

The woman was Triss Ethen, the vice leader of the Oath Guild, Victor's right-hand woman.

"We waited for a whole day here, and seeing the condition on your side, do you want to take care of them first before we go?" Mykel asked.

"If you don't mind," Morris said nervously.

"Of course, we don't mind," Mykel smiled, but his smile felt ominous.

Mykel and the others watched as the healers healed all the wounds very slowly. Healers were said to be the most favored Awakeners since they could heal any wounds as long as they had faith in the God they served. None of Mykel's team had the ability to heal, and the only reason why was because none of them served any God.

After they were done healing the wounded, they started to hunt the demons in Montana. It was a big state, so they had to deal with the mountains, hills, and forests. But thanks to the Gatekeeper's death, the demons started to swarm the cities again, so they didn't have to travel to every corner to hunt them.

"Do you want to join me?" Victor asked Elena.

"No, I would rather go alone. Thanks for the offer," Elena smiled and then left on her own.

"Why are you so interested in her?" Triss asked with her arms crossed. "I have never seen you so desperate like this," she continued.

"Mind your own business, and let's go hunting," Victor said.

Mykel didn't join the hunt and decided to go around looking for a bar because he needed to drink. Lyneth realized something was off about Mykel, so she decided to join him and wanted to be there for him.

"So, I looked at the map. Washington DC is the capital city of the United States which is on the other side of the continent. It's quite far from here, and what's the reason for you to do such a noble thing?" Lyneth asked after she looked at the giant map on the wall.

"Because I want to go to New York. You can see how close it is from Washington DC to New York," Mykel pointed at the map. "It's also because I want to be seen as their savior," Mykel continued.

"What's in New York?" Lyneth asked.

"Nothing, I just want to make my guild over there. It's the biggest city in this country, and if I managed to get that for myself, things would go smoothly for us," Mykel explained as he drank his whiskey.

They spent a whole week in Montana and on the first day they arrived, they all disliked Mykel's team, but after witnessing it with their own two eyes, they were terrified of them. They felt insecure about themselves if they had to compare it to Jeanne and the others, and they didn't even dare to join them.

Mykel hadn't killed a single demon ever since, and only watched the others from the hotel he slept in. They all decided to go back because they believed they had taken care of the major problem, and let the armies deal with the rest.

They safely went back to Nebraska, and the people were cheering for them when they came back to the city. Lyneth used that opportunity to make a connection with important people with Edith since they both knew what to do.

Once they were back in the penthouse, Jeanne approached Mykel who was chilling on the balcony, smoking his cigarette.

"You have been spacing out ever since we killed the Gatekeeper, is something bothering you?" Jeanne asked as she leaned on the railing and looked Mykel in the eye.

"It's nothing," Mykel smiled as he looked down and saw people were still crowding the streets. "It's just I feel like something good is going to happen," Mykel continued.

"Oh yeah? What's that?" Jeanne asked with a smile.

Mykel didn't say anything and stared blankly at something.

"It's nothing, really," Mykel looked at Jeanne with a gentle smile. "I heard there will be a festival tonight. I think we should enjoy it since they have prepared it for us," Mykel said and flicked his cigarette.

"I was about to say that," Jeanne turned around and looked down at the street. "I heard that you want to make a guild in New York. When are we going to move?" Jeanne asked.

"Tomorrow," Mykel answered. "We are going to start our trip to New York tomorrow," Mykel continued.
