âYouâre really spoiling him,â Mykel said in his mind.
âHere we go again,â Gunnar stretched his arms and looked at the giant trees around him. âLetâs do this,â
âI donât think there are any demons here, you can tell by the look how the villagers are living peacefully there,â Rozan said as he walked next to Gunnar. âCould it be they managed to fight off the demons?â
âThatâs not possible,â Agnez answered. âKnowing how weak they are compared to us, I donât think so,â.
âIf thatâs the case, then how can they all live so peacefully?â Sven asked as he rested his scythe on his shoulder.
Agnez just shrugged and didnât say a word.
They all entered the village and were welcomed by the giants, Mykel looked at how tall those giants were because it was the first time they saw them.
âEven though they all look scary, these people are actually really nice, Mykel,â Jeanne said as she walked next to Mykel.
âI see,â Mykel looked at the hut in the middle of the village. âIs that where the village chief lives?â
âYes, his name is Dougal, heâs the son of the previous chief,â Jeanne answered as she nodded her head. âThe chief died from the ritual and you know the rest of it,â
Mykel hummed with understanding and then he saw Dougal come out from the hut. Dougal watched them walk toward him and he waved his hand with a smile on his face.
âSomething is off,â Agnez said as she looked around.
âAs far as I know after checking their memories, the demons didnât invade this village during the breakout. Dougal stayed on this floor during the Breakout as well, so it could be that Lark and the other warriors from Triev world defeated the demons already,â Lillith replied. âBut who knows,â
âYouâre just being paranoid, Agnez,â Rozan said and looked at Agnez with a worried expression since he could tell she didnât want to believe the giants after what happened to her.
Agnez crossed her arms and closed her eyes to communicate with Mazikeen.
âWhatâs happening here? Did you know something?â Agnez asked in her mind.
âWho knows, maybe it has something to do with me,â Mazikeen answered. âMaybe my father didnât participate since he knew that I was in your world and inside your body. Heâs an idiot so you canât tell whatâs in his empty head,â
Agnez scoffed and shook her head while Lillith looked at her with curiosity.
âAgnez Maurice, welcome back,â Dougal said as he looked down at Agnez.
âHmm. we are here to clear the fifteenth floor, but before that, can you tell me something first?â Agnez asked with her arms still crossed. âWas there a Breakout on the fourteenth floor? A few days ago?â
âThere was, but Lark and the other warriors took care of the demons already,â Dougal answered.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThey took care of the demons? How?â Agnez asked with confusion because she knew that the giants wouldnât be able to defeat the demons, especially after knowing the warriors of Triev werenât that many left.
âWhile you were gone, warriors from another world came and helped us to deal with the demons,â Dougal answered. âI believe theyâre still on the fourteenth floor right now since another group of warriors entered our world last night,â
âFrom which world did they come?â Kastor asked before Agnez could open her mouth.
Dougal stared at Kastor for a moment and then looked back at Agnez. âThey said that they came from a world called Evion. Based on their attire, they looked similar to yours,â Dougal said as he pointed at Agnezâs military trench coat over her shoulder.
âI see, we are going to the fourteenth floor then,â Agnez said and then looked at Gunnar and the others. âCome on,â
âWait,â Dougal said as he put his hand in front of Agnez. âItâs the world of the people that came here last night, the one that helped us deal with the demons during the Breakout is from a different world,â
All of them looked at Dougal with a surprised expression.
âThe one that helped us, they came from Creo world,â Dougal said as he looked at Agnez.
Agnez nodded with understanding. âAlright, we will meet them now,â
Mykel stared at Agnez and smiled a bit because she acted like a leader and he liked that.
âTwo different worlds, huh? This is getting interesting,â Gunnar looked at the portal as he walked next to Agnez with his arms crossed.
Agnez turned her head and looked at Mykel from over her shoulder. âWhat do you think, Mykel? How should we approach them?â
âYouâre the team leader, itâs you to decide. Just pretend that Iâm not here,â Mykel answered and everyone looked at him with confusion. âCome with me for a second, Agnez,â Mykel said and went to the side on his own.
âYou guys go ahead, I will catch up with you guys,â Agnez said and then followed Mykel to the side.
Everyone entered the portal except for Jeanne, she looked at them both for a moment then entered the portal.
âI want you to lead the team from now on,â Mykel said with his hands in his pockets. âSince you already know about who I am, you should understand that there are things that I have to maintain up there,â
âWhatâs that supposed to mean? Are you going to leave us?â Agnez furrowed her eyebrows with displeased.
âLeave? Earth is my home, so Iâm not going anywhere. Itâs just there are things that I need to do, things that you wonât understand,â Mykel answered. âJust because I said that you will take over the team, that doesnât mean I will abandon you all,â
âThen lead us, you donât have to do anything. Do what you always did, observe, and give us orders. Iâm here because I want to follow you, not to lead the team,â Agnez said with a bit of annoyance in her voice.
Mykel let out a big sigh then he put his hands on Agnezâs neck. He gently rubbed his thumbs on her jaw as he stared down at her.
âI will, but not at the moment,â Mykel said. âYou have proven that you can lead the team, so I want you to be my replacement for now,â
âOf course,â Mykel paused as he gently grabbed Agnezâs neck with his left hand. âI will reward you if you did a great job on clearing each fifteenth floor,â
Agnez stared at Mykel and slowly she showed her smirk. âWhat kind of reward?â Agnez asked as she grabbed Mykelâs right hand and put it on her left cheek.
âAnything you want,â Mykel said.
âDonât go back on your words,â Agnez said with a smile on her face then slowly walked backward while she kept staring at Mykel.
Agnez entered the portal then Mykel followed her.
They all went to the fourteenth floor and saw the mess and dead bodies of demons and giants scattered around the open field. They were throwing the demonsâ bodies into the fire while burying the giantsâ bodies on the other side.
They didnât find the people like them around the field, so they decided to enter the village and checked if those people from another world were there.
The moment they entered the village, they heard a commotion in the distance and the first thing they saw was a man with curly blonde hair rolled over on the ground with his red cheek because of a punch. Agnez raised her eyebrow and decided to approach him with the others following behind her.
âOh, youâre going to pay for that,â The blonde-haired guy said as he stood up and held his cheek, and before he could walk back, he saw Agnez and the others walking toward him. âHmm? Who are these people,â He said to himself.
Agnez kept staring at the guy and it made him uncomfortable and decided to run back to his team.
The moment Agnez and the others walked to the crossroad, they saw dozens of people facing each other. Two groups of people were glaring at each other furiously with their weapons in their hands.
âHuh? I see, so you have a backup team, no wonder you guys are so confident to fight us,â A guy with red hair that he pulled back stared at Agnez and the others. âThat wonât be a problem,â He continued as he swung his swords in his hands.
âTheyâre not with us, so theyâre not from your world?â The blonde-haired guy asked as he rubbed his cheek.
The red-haired guy furrowed his eyebrows with confusion and then looked at Agnez and the others.
âWow, now there are three groups of people from three different worlds, huh? What a pain,â He said as he pointed the right sword at the blonde-haired guy and his group while he pointed his left sword at Agnez.
Agnez scoffed and shook her head with a smirk on her face. âYouâre going to regret pointing your sword at me,â She said as she unsheathed her sword.
