Destroying My Own Novel

Jeanne didn't feel any demons around her and she was curious where all the demons went until suddenly she looked down and felt something was off about the ground. Her eyes turned wide and instantly sent everyone flying by throwing them up high into the sky before sharp teeth as needles could bite them and tear them apart.

They all looked down and saw the biggest dragon they had ever seen crawl out of the ground. The dragon was decayed and almost half of his body had become a skeleton. There was more than just one, and they kept coming out from the ground until the seventh and the last decayed dragon went to the surface.

"Homunculus?" Jeanne asked Rozan who was helping everyone float in the air.

"Yes, but even though we are up high in the sky, I can see their insides. There's no core unlike the tower one. It's different, but still a homunculus," Rozan squinted his eyes. "Killing them would be a waste of time because they can regenerate or come back to life as long as the core is safe," Rozan explained.

"Is it even possible that the core isn't inside the body?" Gerrard looked at Rozan since he didn't know much about alchemy and homunculi compared to Rozan's knowledge.

"It's possible, but that's something I can't even do. These ones are made by the master of alchemy himself, Demon King Mammon. I believe he's somewhere inside the ground," Rozan answered and pointed out Demon King Mammon's location.

Rozan pointed his hand on the ground and used [Geokinesis] skill to check if Demon King Mammon was inside. Once he felt the unusual feeling underneath the ground, he clenched his hand to crush the ground and twist the inside around. Not long after he did that, a fountain of blood came out from the hole and it surprised them, including Rozan.

"I don't know whose blood is that, but I can still feel a lot of things inside the ground. I'll try to squeeze them out," Rozan focused on his skill until the decayed dragons decided to fly to stop him. Rozan then summoned all his homunculus and let them fight each other. "My dragons are no match against them, Jeanne. Lend us some hand," Rozan looked at Jeanne as he kept focusing on spit Demon King out from the ground.

Jeanne nodded her head with understanding and flew down to help Alpha and the others.

Everyone else could only watch as Jeanne and Rozan did all the work. Rather than feeling inferior, they were more worried because Rozan had been exerting his power too much that he might collapse again. A simple recovery or healing wouldn't help since what he used was his brainpower.

"Are you alright doing all this?" Gunnar looked at Rozan with a worried expression.

"No, but we have no choice, right? I'll at least lure him out so you can beat his ass for me," Rozan answered as his vision started to blur and a sting in the right side of his head started to appear.

"Rozan, let me help you. I'll reduce the pain in your head," Lillith said as she looked at Rozan who was below her.

Rozan didn't decline the offer since he would rather feel his pain than have to feel it himself. He slowly pulled Lillith closer and let her do the work.

Lillith put her hands on Rozan's shoulders from behind and used her [Sentient Control] skill. She entered Rozan's consciousness and immediately felt a painful headache on her right head. She endured it and tried to neutralize the pain by not interfering with Rozan.

"You're awesome, Lilly. Thank you," Rozan smiled and he could breathe normally again.

It was as Rozan said, the decayed dragons were impossible to kill, and since Jeanne only specialized against divine beings and demons, she couldn't do much other than cut them. She looked at the ground at the fountain of blood was still squirting out from the hole and the kingdom was submerged by blood.

It didn't take long until something came out with the blood from the hole. A red demon with long gold horns, wings, and claws flew toward them at full speed. He was holding a giant gold axe that was chained to his right hand.

"My job here is done... you guys take care of him for me," Rozan weakly smiled at the others.

It wasn't just him, but dozens of wyverns and winged serpents were coming out of the hole with him. Fighting up high in the air wasn't something Gunnar and the others could do, and Rozan was already at his limit that he needed to rest.

"Cancel your magic, Rozan. We'll deal with these motherfuckers, so you can get some rest!" Sven swung his scythe and planned to ride one of them and use it as his ride.

Rozan nodded his head canceled his wind magic and everyone started to free fall.

Sven started to laugh in excitement and it made the others get fired up. A short moment of enjoyment was enough to make them feel invincible, and so they started to think about doing crazy stuff.

Jeanne who heard them shouting in excitement decided to look up and saw big smiles on their faces. Their smiles were contagious that she couldn't help but smile. She then looked at Mammon who was about to approach them.

"You're not going to fight them here," Jeanne suddenly appeared in front of Mammon. "Go down!" Jeanne punched Mammon in the face before he could react and sent him down to the ground really fast.

Sven and the others dove past her and started to ride the wyverns and ripped off their wings so they could go down to fight Mammon. She scoffed as she shook her head, and then went up to check on Rozan's condition.

"I'm fine. Let me enjoy the breeze from up here for a moment," Rozan looked at Jeanne floated below him. "Can I ask you something, Jeanne? It has been bothering me for quite a while now," Rozan asked as he slowly descended so he could float next to her.

"Being a Goddess, how does it feel? Do you feel different?" Rozan asked as he looked at Gunnar and the others fought Mammon without holding back their power.

"I'm not sure how I should put it, but becoming a Goddess make your existence feel more significant in this vast universe. It feels different, but it looks the same," Jeanne answered as she looked at Vincze and Sven fought side by side to cut Mammon's tough skin and flesh.

"You doesn't look happy at all. You're different, but you just look like a depressed version of you," Rozan pointed out as he looked at Nagy and Lillith slit Mammon's throat, but it regenerated instantly. "Since I have become a Demi-God, I don't feel a significant changes inside of me, but I do feel different just as you said. So I was thinking, is it really nice to become a God," Rozan continued and looked at his dragons helped Gerrard, Gunnar, and Edith fight against the decayed dragons and wyverns.

"We are in a different time. Not only humans struggle to fight demons, but we Gods are struggling to fight powerful being that controls the universe. Of course, that's why it feels like there's no significant changes inside of us. We are still bound by the rule of the World, but once it's over, everything will change," Jeanne answered and looked at Mammon started to struggle since his armor had been destroyed and left him with a lot of openings.

"Can I ask you another thing, it's unrelated to the topic we are talking about," Rozan looked at Jeanne who was busy observing the battle. "What kind of feeling do you have for Mykel?" Rozan asked.

Jeanne's expression changed, and she started to smile with her eyes closed. She then looked at Rozan which surprised him when he saw them. "I don't know, but I really love him," Jeanne's tears were falling down to her chin as she kept smiling.

"In the end, you're still human inside, I'm glad," Rozan smiled and pitied Jeanne because he couldn't imagine how painful it was for her to have that feeling.
