Everyone entered the portal and went back to their original worlds after Mykel told them the name of the tower. They were so overwhelmed that they didn't respond to Mykel and immediately left since they were drained mentally and physically.
"So this babel tower, what is that?" Jeanne asked as she walked next to Agnez and behind Mykel.
"It's a paradise, for demons. Even Mazikeen loves that place because that's where all the strongest demons gather. The purpose of that tower was to reach the heaven that Lucifer himself ordered the other demon kings to make that tower for him," Mykel answered as he stared at Asmond far ahead of him in the endless hallway.
"That tower reached the heaven?" Rozan asked.
"Your journey to find that answer is still long," Mykel said as he looked at everyone over his left shoulder. "The next time you clear this tower, you're not going up, but you all will be going down. The entrance to the tower that you saw, that was the three hundredth floor," Mykel continued as he lit his cigarette.
Everyone went quiet and couldn't digest the information that Mykel told them. The Babel Tower had a thousand and one floors, not to mention the lower the tower level was, the wider the tower was.
In the original story, when Asmond reached the first floor of Babel Tower, the tower was as big as the earth. It took him two years to clear the floor and he lost a lot of people during the clearance.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to waste your time by wandering around aimlessly in there. I will guide you where to go, but in exchange, I want you guys to start leveling up and gain as many levels as you can," Mykel said as he puffed the smoke.
"Leveling up, where?" Agnez asked.
"In there, of course. The surface is the only place you can gain level and skills to prepare yourself in the Babel Tower. The longer you are in there, the stronger demons that will appear, and once you're done, you can just go back using the portal," Mykel answered.
"Which tower are we going to clear next?" Agnez asked with her arms crossed.
"Please, Agnez. Can we just rest for a bit and not talk about the tower? We are all getting sick of clearing the tower now after what we have been through in there," Rozan said as he sighed and massaged his forehead.
Mykel glanced at them when Rozan and Agnez started to argue. Nobody had the energy to separate them or to calm them down.
"Agnez, you will be clearing the Mammoth Tower on your own tomorrow. Mazikeen will guide you on what to do. You can do whatever you please as long as you clear the tower," Mykel said. "It's time for you guys to clear the towers on your own," Mykel continued as he looked at his phone.
Agnez looked so excited while the others were a bit surprised by Mykel's decision.
"What does that mean, boss? Are you saying that we will be clearing the tower without you, or are we going to go our separate ways?" Gunnar asked and a bit confused.
"Both. I will separate you into different teams and it's a waste to bring you all into the same tower. Vincze, Sven, Nagy, even you, Gunnar, you guys barely do anything because of Agnez and Jeanne. I will separate you guys from them, and I'm going to separate Agnez and Jeanne from now on as well," Mykel answered.
Everyone went quiet because they never thought they would be separated after having been together for so long. They thought it would be nice to be able to do things on their own, but the moment they were given the chance, they were a bit scared and lost their confidence.
"Don't be nervous. I know what you're capable of, so I won't put you in danger and will send you to the tower that will fit with your skills and strength. I will pair you guys with the right person during the clearance," Mykel said as he burned the butt of the cigarette.
"Some of you will be paired with Asmond's team, and I'm thinking of pairing Gunnar with them," Mykel stared at Asmond who stood in front of the tower's entrance. "Well, we will see how it will be once I have a talk with him later. For now, just enjoy your resting time and go wherever you want,"
The first one to react to it was Nagy, she hurriedly walked to the front and poked Myke's left arm.
"Mister Mykel, can I have a private talk with you after this? There's something I wanted to express," Nagy said nervously and quietly.
"Of course, you can go to my office once you're done resting. I know you're tired and you have been doing great back there. I'm so proud of you, so you should rest first and come to me after you're feeling better," Mykel replied quietly as he smiled gently and rubbed Nagy's head gently.
Nagy was surprised to hear a compliment for the first time from Mykel. She smiled and nodded her head with understanding.
Everyone tilted their heads to look at them both because they were curious about what those two were talking about.
"Stop with those pervert thoughts, Sven. It's disgusting," Lillith said as she glared at him.
"I told you to stop looking at my memories!" Sven yelled at Lillith.
Agnez glanced at Lillith and smirked a bit. She then wrapped her left arm around Lillith's neck and leaned toward her.
"Are you interested in Sven, Lilly? You have been oddly paying too much attention to him," Agnez asked as she whispered in Lillith's right ear.
"Eww, no!" Lillith shouted and startled everyone.
Agnez couldn't help but laugh because it was the first time she saw Lillith make that kind of reaction. Although she was laughing, she was being serious about it and curious about what made Lillith so invested in him.
"Anyway, why don't you join me tomorrow? Let's have quality time together," Agnez asked as she bumped her head onto Lillith's forehead gently.
"You don't have to ask, I'm going even without you asking me to," Lillith answered as she crossed her arms while sulking.
"Let's watch a movie and drink wine tonight," Agnez said with a smile on her face. "Let's have a ladies' night tonight with everyone," Agnez continued as she stretched her arms up.
Mykel went to his office and played with his [Authority] skill again while he waited for Nagy.
"It's no use, this Judgement skill can't be nurtured with anything that I have no matter how many times I tried. Maybe because it has something to do with that?" Mykel asked himself as he leaned on the chair. "Once a week is too much, maybe I should make another one that could match it,"
Before Mykel could do some experiment with [Authority] skill, he heard a knocking on the door.
"Come in," Mykel said as he closed the screen in front of him.
Nagy peeked her head and shyly entered the office while Mykel stared at her with his eyebrows raised.
"What's bothering you, Nagy?" Mykel asked as he walked to the front of his desk, then leaned on it.
"It's nothing like that. I just want to ask you if it's okay if I stay in Helmga World?" Nagy asked nervously.
Mykel smirked and chuckled, and it made Nagy more nervous.
"I see..." Mykel said as he walked to the sofa. "You're interested in their assassination history, and also about Rinon, right?" Mykel asked as he sat down in front of Nagy.
Nagy looked surprised and then she nodded her head in agreement.
"Of course, you can stay there as long as you want, but I want you to come back when I ask you to come back," Mykel said as he crossed his legs and started at Nagy.
"Really? I thought you would be angry," Nagy asked quietly.
"Why should I? You're planning to go there to become stronger and become useful, right? I already know that you would be interested in that," Mykel asked back with a smile on his face. "Also, you should check on this place when you get there and ask Rinon about this," Mykel said as he grabbed a note on the table.
Nagy watched Mykel write something on the note. He then ripped the paper and gave it to Nagy.
"You will understand when you go there with Rinon," Mykel said. "Is there anything else? If not, you should go back since the girls have ladies' night tonight, right?" Mykel continued as he stood up and walked back to his desk.
Nagy shook her head. "No, I just want to ask you that. Thank you for your time, Mister Mykel," Nagy said and then left the office with a huge smile on her face.
Mykel sat down as he sighed, and then suddenly Zherlthsh and Vixelleth came into his office.
"I heard you're going to send Agnez to Mammoth Tower tomorrow, are you sure about that?" Vixelleth asked with her eyebrow raised.
"I have been too soft lately with them and getting rid of all the thorns in their paths," Mykel said as he stared at the city. "It's time for them to taste pain and desperation for once," Mykel continued as he stared at the night sky.
