Destroying My Own World

"Damn, this place is really like a massive ant nest. We have gone through six portals, and we're not even there yet," Rozan said as he rode on Alpha's back and looked at the mini-map. "Guys! Hold on a minute! I think I saw something!" Rozan shouted as Alpha blocked everyone's path.

They all looked at Rozan with their eyebrows raised, but then he stood on top of Alpha's head and looked at the distance. He pointed at something in the distance, and they could see some kind of aurora that faintly could be seen in the distance.

"An aurora? In a place like this?" Gunnar furrowed his eyebrows in disbelief. "But on the mini-map, there's nothing showing on that side of the map. Do you want to check it out or should we just ignore it, Sven?" Gunnar looked at Sven who flapped his wings at the front to maintain the height.

"Let's check it out. It's not that far anyway," Sven answered. "Let's go,"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

They all flew to where the aurora was, and when they arrived, it wasn't the aurora that they imagined in Norway. It was a massive lake with lights that were luminescent from the deep that reflected on the sky. They wondered what it was, but they hesitated to check it out because of how dark and deep the lake was.

"Anyone wants to volunteer to check what's inside the lake?" Sven asked as he looked at the others.

"I'll go," Euros said as he walked to the edge of the lake and looked at his own reflection on the surface.

Euros jumped down into the lake without hesitation and dove into the deep fearlessly. They waited until he came back, but then suddenly something big was going up to the surface. A giant eel with a head like a human came out of the water and started to screech with drool and saliva coming out uncontrollably.

The eel was wounded around its body, and it looked fresh as the blood came from its body. It was Euros who wounded the eel, and he was fighting that thing inside the lake. Euros then came out and swung his sword right on the eel's head, and cut its head in half.

"There are so many of them down there! They're protecting something!" Euros shouted as he looked at the others. "I need hands, a lot of hands," Euros added.

Rinon, Kurgreo, Arvel, Lexus, and Nexus decided to join in and jumped into the lake to help Euros. It didn't take long until the lake turned pitch black from the blood of the eels. Although it was pitch black, they still could see something glowing underneath.

Euros and the others came out of the lake, and their whole body and armor turned black from the blood. Euros were holding something as big as a basketball in the shape of an octahedron. It had a pink color and it was translucent so that they could see what was inside it, but it didn't glow like when it was underwater.

"I don't know what this is, but if it's being protected by those things, it should be important, right?" Euros asked as he showed it to everyone.

Rozan took it out of Euros' hands and examined it thoroughly, but he couldn't feel anything. No magic power, no evil power, and no divine power, it looked like it was just an empty vessel, but what made him curious was why it glowed inside the water. Explore more adventures at empire

He thought really hard until he decided to cover it and wrap it inside a bubble of water. It glowed as he expected, and somehow it irradiated powerful magic the moment it made contact with water. Although it was a good discovery, it didn't change the fact that he couldn't get anything from it.

"I don't know. This thing is odd, and I think we should bring it with us and ask Amaryllis once we meet her," Rozan said as he sighed and looked disappointed that he couldn't get anything from it.

Aurea with her sisters had destroyed the whole city of demons that they found on their way to their destination. It was a massacre and nobody survived their attacks, but Deviatris found something when she was wandering around. A similar object with a cube shape and a light green translucent color, but this one had something inside it.

"What do you think that is?" Aurea asked Deviatris after she showed it to her sisters.

"This looks like an incubator," Deviatris answered as she looked at it from below. "A place to put a seed," Deviatris added.

"A seed? Like what?" Vixelleth asked as she stood beside Deviatris and stared at what she looked at.

"It's neither a soul nor a fetus. It's something else, but I don't actually know what it is," Deviatris answered as she looked at the black gooey stringy substance inside the cube. "I could examine it, but not here. So I'll keep it with me," Deviatris counted.

Jeanne, Brynhilde, and Amaryllis were the first ones to reach their destination without taking any detours. They focused on killing all the demons and the Dukes of Hell that they were assigned to. They arrived at a castle that weirdly enough looked a bit modernized and didn't look like an old medieval castle.

"Hmm?" Amaryllis tilted her head as she stared at the castle. "There's something inside, something ominous. I'm not talking about the Duke of Hell, I'm talking about something else inside," Amaryllis explained.

"What is it?" Jeanne asked with her eyebrows raised.

"Emotion. A grudge," Amaryllis answered. "I think I know what it is now. It's something that Barbatos and the Kings of Hell have been planning to create. Something sinister, but it appears they're still far from finishing it," Amaryllis continued.

"Should we destroy it?" Brynhilde asked.

"Can we not destroy it? I want to see it for myself and get my hands on it," Amaryllis looked at Jeanne.

"If that's what you want that we won't destroy it," Jeanne smiled gently at Amaryllis. "Let's get it done since we still have so many places to go," Jeanne said as she unsheathed her old sword.

Mykel and Elena looked at the big wooden door that was chained and locked in front of them. Elena melted the chains and the lock with her life energy, and then she opened the door to see what was inside. When they walked in, they saw so many human tubes with nothing inside, but then they saw a ball with a red translucent color with a thick black mist moving inside.

"Who would have thought hell has a place like this? It feels like we are in a scientist's laboratory," Mykel said as he looked at how it looked like a real lab, but it had

"Dad, look at this," Elena said as she looked at one of the huma tubes that was covered in black goo. "I can feel something inside this tube, it's not alive, but it's not dead either," Elena continued as she put her hand on the tube.

Suddenly a hand appeared from inside the tube, and a head hit the glass that made Elena jolt. Mykel chuckled and couldn't hold his laughter, and it made Elena embarrassed. She broke the tube because she was a bit pissed that it startled her, and then the body fell out of the tube.

"What's this thing?" Elena asked as she crouched and stared at a creature that only had half of its body.

The creature suddenly opened its eyes and screamed as it crawled in a panic for some reason. They both watched the creature try to leave, but then a black mist sipped out of its body. The mist was covering its face and it made the creature more panicked and screamed louder.

"Isn't that like what happened to Sasha? That same thick mist covered her face and made her suffer," Elena pointed out as she walked toward the creature.

Mykel looked at the back of the creature and saw the black mist coming from it, just like Sasha. He then crushed the back of the creature and killed it in an instant, and the mist started to wander around and left like it was alive.

"What was that?" Elena asked as she looked at the mist leaving.

"It was an emotion, or to be exact a fragment of it. One of the emotions of the Seven Deadly Sins based on what Amaryllis told me just now," Mykel answered. "They're trying to recreate something with that emotion. They're trying to create demons like Princes of Hell," Mykel added as he looked at the body that he had crushed.

"So, that thing over there is a fragment of an emotion?" Elena asked as she looked at the glowing red ball on the table.

"I'm not sure if that's just a fragment or something more than that. We might find something interesting if we bring it with us," Mykel answered.
