Chapter 477: Granted wishes.

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

[You have cleared the Asmodeus Tower, and all the Worlds within the tower will be no longer available. You have freed them from the unbreakable prison and you are rewarded with [500,000] Arcana Coins and [Arcana Steel] from the system]

[Once you leave, you will not be able to get back]

Jeanne looked at the notification and remembered every single world that existed inside the tower and the people in it. It was a bit sad, but she was happy that their world would no longer be threatened by demons.

“Are we done here?” Aurea asked.

Everyone had gotten themselves a [Benefactor Exclusive] skill from the Constellations except for Gerrard and Edith. They were satisfied with the skill they wanted. Rozan took [Geokinesis] from Gaia and allowed him to manipulate earth.

Gunnar took [Unscathed Body] from Odin which allowed him to be untouchable and invincible for a certain and of time. He would be immune from taking damage, but he could still get hurt by Godly powers, but not as lethal as it was supposed to be.

Lillith took [Hypnosis] skill from Hypnos, one of Nyx’s children. Its power was to put suggestions to herself or the target she wanted. It could make them weak, strong, dumb, smart, or even put them to sleep. It was basically a skill to manipulate someone’s subconscious.

Nagy took [Harvest] from Demeter, and its power was to make everything she planted become fertile. Whatever she planted would have a powerful effect, and it would make her poison more powerful.

Sven took [Berserker] from Ares and made him twice stronger. He didn’t care about other things since all he cared about was becoming stronger than the others.

Vincze took [Thread and Needle] from Skuld, one of the three Norse Goddesses who controlled fate. She was a Valkyrie and the skill was to guide him to get into a situation that would benefit him the most in any scenario.

“I don’t know what I want,” Edith said as she looked troubled.

“Why don’t you ask for something that can benefit you and your family? Maybe something like a blessing?” Jeanne asked.

Edith thought about her daughters and wanted them to be safe and live happily without worries. Suddenly a notification appeared in front of her which startled her since she hadn’t asked for anything yet.

[Goddess of Spirit has listened to your wish]

[Goddess of Spirit offers you [Guardian Spirit] skill]

Edith felt the skill might be the one she wanted, and so she accepted the offer and took the [Guardian Spirit] skill. It made her able to summon a spirit that would protect the target that the User picked. A guardian spirit would remove every negative emotion and protect them from misfortune.

“Thank you, Jeanne,” Edith smiled gently and she looked so happy.

“I’m just giving you a suggestion, and I don’t know what you get, so there’s no need to thank me,” Jeanne smiled back at her.

Gerrard was smiling and chuckling so suddenly. They all looked at him and were curious about what kind of skill he got from the Constellations.

Gerrard got a skill called [Whisper] which allowed him to listen to his surroundings whether it was a thought or a talk. Not only that, but he could also understand animals’ voices and could speak with them. It was one of Hera’s skills.

“Looks like everyone got what they wanted, let’s leave,” Aurea said.

“You got yours?” Jeanne asked.

“I don’t need their help, and the only God who got my recognition is Mykel. The others can suck their thumbs or mock me, I don’t care,” Aurea answered.

They all went inside a blue portal and teleported back to the endless hallway. They all shared the skill they got, and they were jealous of each other’s skill, especially Edith’s since her skill sounded most powerful.

As soon as they got out of the tower, they heard thousands of people cheering for them. It was the first time ever they saw so many people crowding the tower, and getting welcomed like that.

People were crying and they were grateful for saving not only District 6 but also the whole of Earth from one of the threats they were facing. Gunnar and the others finally were able to be proud of themselves because they killed a Demon King even though Aurea was the one who dealt the final blow.

Gunnar and the others walked down the stairs, and suddenly they heard rumbling noises from the tower. Everyone stopped cheering and looked at the tower that slowly crumbled in place. Rozan then used his magic to prevent the debris from falling on the people around the towers.

Everyone wasn’t afraid thanks to Rozan’s magic and took care of the debris and the tower himself. They watched as the tower became shorter and shorter until there was nothing left that stood, not even a single wall.

“A portal?” Rozan asked as he landed in between Gunnar and Jeanne.

“The Asmodeus Tower has turned into a portal that leads straight to Gehenna,” Mykel answered as he walked toward them. “We are not the only ones who have this. All the worlds that exist inside the Asmodeus Tower have this red portal now,” Mykel explained as he looked at the red portal as big as a two-story building.

“So even though we can no longer visit their worlds, we are still connected by this and we can meet each other again in Gehenna. I see, that’s a relief,” Nagy said.

“Is that even really a problem? Mykel can easily send us to whichever world you want though,” Aurea said with her arms crossed and looked at Nagy.

“Ah… You’re right,” Nagy chuckled nervously.

“Anyway, let’s celebrate!” Gunnar shouted.

Everyone chuckled as they shook their heads. Since his voice was so loud, everyone around the tower could hear him. They all cheered and decided to commemorate the day and month as the day of the beginning of the end of the hellish world.

“You meathead! We are not celebrating yet!” Rozan hit Gunnar in the head with his staff. “We still have something else to take care of!” Rozan said quietly.

Gunnar smacked his lips and immediately looked at Mykel with a guilty and regretful expression. Mykel sighed as he shook his head, and since the mood had become a lot brighter, he decided to put it back down and gave a reality check.

Mykel announced and warned everyone to keep in mind that a breakout might happen soon. He didn’t want them to celebrate yet because unfortunately District 6 was next to District 5 which was the territory that belonged to the Fraternity Association.

He managed to convince them and told them that he promised to hold a celebration in District 6 once the breakout was over. They didn’t have a complaint since Rozan was the one who was going to protect the border.

After Mykel gave his warning, they all went back to District 1 and held a small party for themselves. They still had two days before the next breakout was about to happen, and it was fine to have a day for a party.

“One is down! Twelve to go!” Rozan said after he took a single shot of vodka and his face was already red. “Damn, thinking about it we still have a long way to go…” Rozan continued and his face suddenly looked annoyed.

“Not really. Just think about this. You gain one Benefactor Exclusive skill every time we defeat a Demon King. We still have eight towers left and that means we can get eight more Benefactor Exclusive skills. The more we gain, the stronger we become,” Sven said as he looked at his status screen while holding a bottle of beer.

“Let’s be real here. We just defeated a Demon King in less than an hour. We are so fucking strong and even if Asmodeus is the weakest, at least we are still overpowering him,” Vincze looked at Rozan and tried to convince him.

“I guess you’re right,” Rozan’s eyes barely opened and he was about to pass out. “I’m done for today… I’m going to sleep a whole day tomorrow,” Rozan stood up but immediately collapsed and hit his head on the sturdy and thick marble floor.

Jeanne scoffed as she shook her head and walked toward Mykel. She then sat down next to him and quietly enjoyed her beer.

“Do you remember the park we went to for a drink back then? Want to go there right now?” Mykel asked.

“Sure, I was about to ask you to get some fresh air,” Jeanne said as she tucked in her hair.

“Don’t get too drunk like last time. You might end up kissing me again,” Mykel chuckled and it made Jeanne blush.

“Am I not allowed to kiss you?” Jeanne asked as she pouted.

Mykel smiled as he stood up and offered his hand to Jeanne. “No, I’m actually looking forward to it,” Mykel said as he held Jeanne’s hand.
