Chapter 481: A gift from a friend.

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

The celebration lasted for three days nonstop and everyone enjoyed every second of it. People from different districts came to District 6 to enjoy the festival. Nobody spent a single coin to get drunk or to fill their bellies with delicious food because Mykel paid for everything. All the hotels and suites were full for three days, and Lilith was there to enliven the festival.

Mykel looked at the city that was crowded with millions of people now that had disappeared because the festival had ended. He watched the people cleaning the street and the final part of the celebration was an auction that was exclusive only for the Awakeners.

“Everyone is here, Mykel,” Beldathiel said as she took a peek at Mykel from the gap in the door.

Mykel entered the room and saw all the Demon Princesses sitting on the VIP seats on the second floor of the auction room. They were watching Awakeners bidding millions of Zeny for an artifact. Luciel was there as well, and she was interested in some of those artifacts.

“Hm? You’re here as well?” Mykel looked at Luciel leaning on the railings and focused on the auction.

“Surprised? I’m allowed to go down here as long as I don’t interfere or get involved with mortals,” Luciel answered as she turned around to look at Mykel. “Well, I’m not here to join your discussion, I’m here to file a complaint,” Luciel smiled as she leaned against the railing with her arms crossed.

“A complaint?” Mykel asked as he sat down in the middle.

Mykel hummed with understanding and thought all the Demon Kings with the seven deadly sins of power were important. He agreed to Luciel’s request and brought Asmodeus back to life.

“If that’s the case, we don’t need the other Demon Kings, right?” Mykel asked with a serious expression.

Frigna, Zherlthsh, Vixelleth, Sapphira, Kiersha, and Aurea glanced at Mykel. They knew their fathers didn’t have the seven deadly sins, and that meant Mykel wouldn’t bring them back to life. They all then looked at Luciel because she was the only one who had a voice to decide.

“They’re not necessary for the future plan, but it would be a waste to not use them in the future. Why don’t we split them? Seven powerful demons that bring the worst side of the mortals while the six of them give them false hope,” Luciel asked as she pointed her index finger up. “You said you want to make some of them into a supporting role that would give humans demonic power, right? Why don’t we decide here and now which is which?” Luciel continued.

It wasn’t impossible to make those Demon Kings act as a support for mortals. Their loyalty belonged to Luciel and every word she said was their will to live. It wasn’t a bad suggestion, and Mykel could handle the Demon Princesses from his side.

“In exchange, I want to switch their roles. The Demon Princesses will be the ones in command while their fathers will be following their orders,” Mykel answered. “In the first place, I trust these women more than their fathers,” Mykel continued.

Zherlthsh and Vixelleth smiled and felt proud of themselves. They were happy that Mykel acknowledged them more than their fathers. Not only those two but the others as well.

“I don’t mind and I’m planning to make Nefarath, Glasya, Lilith, Beldathiel, Deviatris, and me as the seven pillars in Gehenna. I want the Demon Kings to personally go down to the mortal worlds and bring chaos to those worlds that don’t believe in Gods,” Luciel replied as she nodded in agreement.

“Then it’s settled,” Mykel crossed his legs and lit his cigarette.

Luciel nodded and then left after she achieved what she came for.

“Hold on a second, Mykel. I’m not Mazikeen, so I don’t think I should partake in this. To be honest, I don’t want to do it,” Aurea said as she looked at Mykel from behind.

“Of course not. I already gave you a role, remember? You’ll be pretending as a God to those lost sheep. You’re a fake God while Jeanne will be a real God. You both will guide those mortals for the worse or the better,” Mykel answered. “You both will play an important role whether to bring them to their demise and worship demons or guide them to the light and become God’s plaything,” Mykel continued.

Jeanne and Aurea looked at each other and remembered about it from when Mykel approved them in Niflheim when they were having a girl’s talk. The Demon Princesses were going to rely on Aurea while the Gods would be relying on Jeanne.

“Enough of that for now. I summoned you all here for another matter,” Mykel said as he stood up. “It’s time for the end game,” Mykel turned around and looked at them.

(Three weeks later)

Rozan and the others had cleared the rest of the towers up to the hundredth floor except for the Lucifer Tower. They also defeated Demon King Samael and Demon King Azrael last week. The people were in disbelief because they never thought Mykel’s team could defeat two Demon Kings in a week.

The news about Sven single-handedly defeating Demon King Azrael had spread and he became more famous than Mykel. It was all thanks to his skill and Jeanne’s [Maestro] skill that made him so powerful. Edith’s [Spirit Guardian] skill came in handy as well because it could boost a target’s power to some extent. It was also because Samael and Azrael didn’t possess a deadly sin skill which made them easier to deal with.

Asmond managed to clear the fortieth floor of the Abaddon Tower. They knew about the achievements that Mykel’s team got, but they weren’t bothered by it and kept moving at their own pace.

“We have been here for three weeks, we should go back now,” Asmond said as he looked at his members who shared the reward chests.

They all followed Asmond into the blue portal and went back to Earth. They knew nobody would be there to cheer on them because they were nothing compared to the Guild Association. But to their surprise, there were people who came and cheered for them.

Asmond realized how he had been taking things for granted and knew how special it was to see people cheering for him now. Kiersha was there as well to welcome Rufus back which made Rufus shed a tear.

“Asmond, look over there,” Roxanne leaned her head to Asmond and looked at a dozen people in black suits standing on the side of the crowds. “They have a Guild Association badge on their chest,” Roxanne said as she pointed it out.

“Let’s see what they want,” Asmond said as he walked down the stairs.

Everyone went their separate ways and so Asmond approached those people with Roxanne, Glen, Arum, and Silas. Rufus had already left with Kiersha since he missed her and decided to go on a date with her.

“Mister Asmond, we have been waiting,” The man in the middle said. “We will not take your time, so we will give you these,” The man looked over his shoulder and watched as his colleagues showed off five briefcases.

“What are those?” Asmond asked as he looked at the briefcases.

“A gift from Mister Mykel himself,” The man answered. “He said that these will be helpful for you and your team,” The man explained.

Asmond looked at Roxanne and then nodded his head. Roxanne, Glen, and Silas took the briefcases and walked back to Asmond’s side. Those men then left after saying goodbye to them.

They all opened the briefcases and were dumbfounded when they saw the inside. Twenty types of artifacts, dozens of skill scrolls, and all types of potions that were worth at least a million [Arcana Coins].

“Is this really okay for us to have these?” Arum asked as she covered her mouth.

“It’s a gift from a friend, there’s no reason for us to not accept it,” Asmond said as he read the letter that Mykel wrote. “He gave these to us because he believed the next breakout won’t be the same. Demon Kings are smart, they won’t make the same mistake for the third time,” Asmond put the letter in and looked at all the gifts.
