Asmond and the others looked at the notification of the clearance of the eightieth floor. They were trying so hard to catch up with Jeanne and her team, but it looked like the gap didn’t even get closer, instead, it became further and further. He couldn’t force everyone to keep up the pace, but it would be impossible to catch up with them since his goal was to join the fight.

“Asmond, why don’t you guys go ahead of us? I can see in your expression that you guys are a bit annoyed that you have to stay here with us. We know that we are only slowing you guys down, so you can go. We are going to be fine here on our own,” A man said to Asmond with a pitiful smile.

Asmond looked at him, and then at the people behind him as he thought about it. He then nodded with understanding since he believed all the floors had been cleared by Jeanne this time, unlike the previous one. Asmond and his friends left hurriedly after they said goodbye to them.

“We should be able to catch up on them if we keep running like this, so let’s just focus on that right now,” Asmond said without looking back to his friends who followed him from behind.

They all hummed with understanding as they ran as fast as they could.

On the eighty-first floor, Rozan and the others were surprised when their enemies were no longer a demon. They were angels, the same angels that Elena fought during the breakout. Those angels were strong against magic, and Rozan couldn’t do much but watch. On the other hand, the angels were weak against [Hellfire] and it helped them a lot to deal with them since the angels also had a strong physical bodies.

The higher they went, the more anxious Jeanne and Aurea were because they knew when it was over, they were going for the big war. Aurea felt like she wasn’t strong enough to help Mykel while Jeanne was anxious because she wondered if she could be any help to Mykel later.

It wasn’t just the two of them that were anxious, the Gods were anxious as they watched Jeanne and her team advance further into the Lucifer Tower. Mykel didn’t tell them anything about his plan, or what they needed to do to prepare for the war. Even Loki felt restless as he watched the feed of the tower clearance with his family.

A week had passed, and Jeanne and the others reached the ninetieth floor and stood in front of a gate made of gold. Ever since they climbed from the eighty-first floor, the air was no longer suffocating, it was refreshing and chill. They could see the blue sky from the window and the white clouds outside.

“So, behind this door is the demon lords that you fought during the breakout, Jeanne? Those angels?” Rozan asked as he looked at Jeanne over his shoulder.

“Yes, they’re really strong and I can tell that they’re as strong or even stronger than the Demon Kings. If I can put it on a chart, they might be the strongest ones,” Jeanne answered as she nodded her head and looked at the gate.

“I remember correctly how hard it was, and how you destroyed the whole District when fighting her. If we are going to fight them, do you think we can win?” Sven asked with a worried expression.

“Well, that’s true if you guys are the ones who fight them. But, we are here with Elena, and she’s the one that’s going to fight them though,” Jeanne answered and gently stroked Elena’s back. “If it’s her, then I think there won’t be a problem,” Jeanne continued.

Sven shrugged his mouth as he nodded his head. “Well then, princess, go ahead and beat them up for us!” Sven said as he clenched his fist and smiled at Elena.

Elena glanced at Sven with a cynical look because she didn’t like him at all. Everyone snickered as they covered their mouths and looked at Sven. Elena then opened the gate with Jeanne, and they saw Michael and Gabriel waiting for them inside an all-white hall.

“Here we go again,” Rozan looked at how big Michael and Gabriel were. Those two were a hundred meters tall.

Michael and Gabriel swung their weapons at Elena in the blink of an eye. It startled Rozan and the others how fast those two moved their hands. They might not be able to dodge that if they were caught off guard like that.

Michael and Gabriel’s hands were trembling and they realized that their attacks didn’t land. They looked at Elena blocking their weapons with her hands like it was nothing to her. She then grabbed them and sent her life energy around the weapon. The moment she put a bit of pressure on the weapons, they shattered into pieces.

Elena smirked and flew toward Michael and punched him right in the face. Michael got knocked down with a giant hole in his face. She then bounced off Michael’s shoulder and flew toward Gabriel with the speed of light and kicked him in the face as well. Gabriel’s head got ripped off and hit the wall as his body collapsed to the ground.

They couldn’t react to her movements at all, but Jeanne knew there was a second phase when she fought them, and the others knew about it as well. They were wondering if Elena knew about this.

Elena looked at the life energy inside Michael and Gabriel’s bodies. She knew they weren’t dead yet, and she immediately flew down and threw an axe kick at Michael’s body. She destroyed Michael’s body until it turned into pure life energy, and did the same thing to Gabriel’s body. She took the life energy and sucked them all into her body to strengthen her power.

A notification appeared in front of them, and they were all shocked by how easy it was for Elena to kill those two while Jeanne had to fight them really hard.

“She killed them… just like that…” Sven said as he gulped and looked at Elena who seemed disappointed by how fast it was.

“I’m surprised too. I fought them for hours until I could defeat them, but it only took her a minute to destroy them completely,” Jeanne replied as she nodded her head in agreement.

“But they could move freely outside the tower back there though. So, if you fight them here, it might be faster than back then,” Rozan said as he looked at Jeanne.

“That didn’t change the fact that she killed them before they could do anything. Even if I try my best, maybe it would take more than a minute,” Jeanne responded and looked at Elena who was walking toward them.

“There’s only one way to find out how strong she is, and that’s to fight her. I know for sure that I won’t be able to win if I have to fight her alone. Maybe if we all decided to fight her together,” Aurea said with her arms crossed.

Elena walked back and noticed that everyone was staring at her with curious looks on their faces. She then looked at Jeanne and asked why they were staring at her. Jeanne told her that they were wondering if they could fight her. Hearing that, Elene looked so excited and said that she would love to fight them all together.

“Well, since our job here is done, we should go back now. Mykel said that the hundredth floor is impossible to clear because it’s empty. Let’s head back for now,” Jeanne said as she looked at the others.

They all nodded their heads and walked to the portal.

“Where are you guys going?” Asmond asked as he entered the boss’s room.

Aurea turned around and looked at Asmond with his team catching their breaths. “Our job here is done, we have no more reason to clear the towers anymore,” Aurea answered.

Asmond was confused by what she meant by that, but before he could ask anything else, Jeanne and the others entered the portal.

“What does she mean by that? Are they no longer clearing the tower?” Roxanne asked.

“I don’t know, but I don’t like it,” Asmond answered as he gulped.
