Destroying My Own Novelchapter 216: a copy of himself.

The atmosphere was so heavy and everyone was watching those two staring at each other in the eye. On the other hand, both Mykel and Lucifer seemed to be waiting for each other to make the first move, but they knew it wouldn't happen because someone else would join them.

"I know what you're thinking and you know what I'm thinking," Mykel said as he stared at Lucifer's eyes. "But there's one thing that you don't know about me, and that's I will always be above you no matter how hard you try because I know everything,"

Lucifer didn't take the bait. He smiled at Mykel and raised his eyebrows. "Prove it, your words mean nothing," Lucifer said.

"We both know that this is a great opportunity to kill each other, but that won't happen because she's going to interfere and put both of us in that fucking place," Mykel answered as he glanced at the space.

"All that talk and saying that you're greater than me, but then you said this in front of my face? You're not greater than I am then," Lucifer scoffed and smirked.

"You can mock me whatever you want, but I'm not a fool and neither are you. We both are shackled by her power, and we both are trying to free ourselves from her," Mykel said with a straight face. "I will be the one who's going to propose this then. Let's have a truce,"

"A truce?" Lucifer asked as he chuckled mockingly. "We will see about that," Lucifer walked back with a smile and then spread his wings open. Lucifer flew away at the speed of light and disappeared.

[Lucifer has invited you to enter his world, Empyrean]

Mykel smirked as he looked at the notification, and then he looked at the others for one last time. They all looked so confused and shocked when they saw Lucifer suddenly leave. He then accepted the invitation and teleported to Empyrean.

The sound of chirping birds and the gently flowing river was enough to give anyone who entered Empyrean comfort and soothe. The grass looked so soft and the trees were fruitful that he could easily grab one and it would regrow immediately.

The chill wind struck Mykel's right cheek, he then looked to his right and saw a civilization of a fantasy world where the lands floated without any support. Waterfalls on every island and they all went right into the vast sea down below.

Mykel stared down at the ocean and there were islands down there as well. There were people enjoying the weather and mythical and majestic animals lived among them.

"You think I would fall for this?" Mykel asked as he glanced over his shoulder. "I would believe this scenery if this was hundreds of thousands of years ago," Mykel turned around and saw Lucifer leaning on the tree eating an apple with a smile.

Lucifer snapped his fingers, and the whole place turned into a hellish nightmare except for the place where they were at. The screams of pain could be heard everywhere, and Mykel wasn't even surprised by what he was seeing and listening to.

"I can't believe Nyx fell for this illusion," Mykel said as he raised his eyebrows.

"You sure know everything," Lucifer said as he pushed himself up and walked toward the palace. "I thought you're just lying,"

"I'm not a liar, I'm only a deceiver," Mykel answered. "That's why I became like this, and that also applies to you. Like how you killed your own brothers and sisters to make Luciel, to make your own little angel," Mykel said as he followed Lucifer from behind.

Lucifer burst out laughing, and his laughter could be heard in every corner of the Empyrean. His laughter was like torture to those people down below. His voice was like a red hot glowing steel that thrust their ears over and over.

"Now I know why Mara is interested in you," Lucifer said as he spread his wings and flapped them downward to kill every single soul so they stopped screaming. But since they were there forever, they came back to live again.

"You dare to say her name even after knowing you invited me to your world?" Mykel asked.

"She can't hear anything we said here. The system prevents everything from listening and seeing my world, but of course, Mara still can do that but at least I will be noticed by the system if someone breaks in," Lucifer said as he put his wings into his back.

Mykel furrowed his eyebrows and understood a bit about the [Authority] level. Level 4 couldn't deny or decline the summoning, but had the privilege to protect the world from any interference. Level 5 would be having the privilege to summon anyone like the system did and also could request the system individually like how Mara did, but that was just speculation that Mykel made.

"I see, that means we can speak freely here," Mykel replied.

"Now that you know, why don't you tell me something that Mara doesn't know?" Lucifer asked as he looked at Mykel from over his shoulder.

"Why should I? You brought me here not for the talk, you brought me here to try to kill me. As I said, I know everything and that includes the way of your thinking," Mykel replied with a smirk. Even though he couldn't check Lucifer's [Character] but Lucifer was a copy of himself, so he knew the way he played.

"You really can see right through me," Lucifer said as he stabbed his right hand right into his heart. He pulled a brownish-gray sword that was covered in black gooey liquid. There were hundreds of cravings on the blade that looked like symbols.

"I don't want to ruin the fun, but you're not going to win against me," Mykel said with confidence as he stared at the sword.

Lucifer flew so quickly that he left an afterimage, and then suddenly appeared behind Mykel. Mykel turned around and grabbed the swords with his bare hands in time, but his gloves were immediately torn into pieces and his palms were cut by the blade.

"We will see about that," Lucifer said as he pushed Mykel down the cliff.

Lucifer swung his sword around as he walked toward the cliff, but then dozens of throwing knives appeared from down below. He blocked and dodged them so easily, but he was surprised at how strong those knives were.

Mykel flew back up and struck Lucifer with hundreds of lightning bolts at the same time. He covered his fist with [Hellfire] and flew down toward Lucifer and threw his strongest punch at Lucifer.

The whole ground crumbled and they both were free-falling into the sea of lava. Lucifer spread his wings and flew away as he maneuvered and dodged the debris while Mykel used the debris with [Telekinesis] to hit Lucifer.

Lucifer was trapped inside the debris while Mykel sent his throwing knives into the debris. Before the knives could reach the debris, Lucifer broke free and was already in front of him with his hand ready to swing his sword.

Mykel grabbed Lucifer's right hand with his left hand and immediately threw a punch onto Lucifer's face. Unfortunately, Lucifer grabbed his right hand before he could punch Lucifer's face, Lucifer then kicked him away.

The throwing knives were about to stab Lucifer in the back, but he used his wings to send them all away from him. He flew toward Mykel and swung his sword like flashes of lightning, and Mykel couldn't do anything but dodge and block his attacks.

Mykel's hands were full already but then he felt a presence behind him. He took a glance really quick and saw a woman floating behind him with her silver hair and white pale skin. She stared at him with her dark orange eyes.

Luciel slashed Mykel's back with her sword and then Lucifer used the opportunity to cut Mykel's both arms. Lucifer glared at Mykel in excitement with a huge grin on his face. He then stabbed Mykel's chest with his sword and lifted him up.

"Looks like you're nothing but talk," Lucifer said, and then threw Mykel into the sea of lava.

[Would you like to use 94,000,000 Arcana Coins to fully recover all the wounds?]

[Yes.] [No.]

Mykel tapped the [Yes] button with his leg as he fell into the lava.

Lucifer and Luciel floated next to each other as they watched the lava, but then they both weren't surprised when they saw Mykel go up to the surface with [Hellfire] covering his whole body.

"Now this is more like it. Let's continue the fun, shall we?" Mykel said with a smile of excitement.
