"The Mahazael Tower? You want us to join your team?" Asmond asked as he looked at Mykel sitting on the sofa in Asmond's office.
"Yes, and when do you think you're free?" Mykel asked as he lit his cigarette.
"I sent my team on a vacation two days ago, and they won't be back until next Monday. So it will be four days from today," Asmond answered as he looked at the calendar on his desk.
Mykel looked at Asmond holding a pen, a document on his desk, and wearing a suit as he looked at the calendar made Mykel smirk and chuckle. Asmond looked at Mykel with a confused look on his face.
"Nothing, I just find it funny that you're somehow suited for this position," Mykel answered as he shook his head. "Anyway, it's four days from today, right? Then I will inform Jeanne and the others. See you in four days then," Mykel continued as he stood up, and then left Asmond's office.
Asmond wanted to ask Mykel about Jeanne, but he didn't have the guts to ask it out. He was still scared and afraid after he made Jeanne furious back then, and Mykel's gaze was quite terrifying when he looked at him as he hugged Jeanne in his arms.
Mykel watched Lexus and Nexus' feeds, and they both already made a mess in the base around the Mammon Tower. They slaughtered everyone who tried to harm them, and not a single bullet touched them.
"Let's give them a small gift," Mykel said to himself and sent 100,000 [Arcana Coins] to each of them. He immediately got 400 [Constellation Points].
Mykel warped to the Guild Association building and went to Lyneth's office. She was having an important phone call, so Mykel sat down and waited for her.
"So, do you care to explain who this woman is?" Lyneth asked as she showed Beldathiel's photo on her phone.
Mykel stood up and then walked toward Lyneth. He smirked as he rested his hands on her desk, and then he warped to Leowa World with Lyneth.
"I came to your office to not answer any of your questions. I want to bring you to this place," Mykel answered as he stared Lyneth in the eye.
Mykel, with Lyneth's consent, gently turned her around so she could see the beautiful scenery of the city from Shelly's temple. She walked with careful deliberation to the edge and looked at the breathtaking, colorful city below her with a sense of wonder.
"I know that I have been gone for a while, and I want to show you the beautiful worlds that we have cleared. Let's just say I want to spend my spare time with you before I go into the tower with you," Mykel said as he wrapped his hands around Lyneth's waist from behind.
"Where are we?" Lyneth asked as she grabbed Mykel's arms and gently rubbed them.
"Leowa world in the Azrael Tower," Mykel answered.
While they both were enjoying the view, they saw big flares above one of the islands in front of them. Mykel furrowed his forehead and noticed one of the flames was [Hellfire]. He looked at Gerrard's feed and saw him sparring with Rozan as Shelly watched them in the distance.
"What was that?!" Lyneth asked.
"Rozan and Gerrard. Let's go and check them out," Mykel said and lifted Lyneth into his arms. "Hang on tight," Mykel said as he flew away toward the island.
Mykel landed on the island, and it felt so hot because the heat waves were everywhere around the island. He pushed the heatwaves away from them so Lyneth didn't get burnt by them.
The island was a vast land with only coconut trees on the shores. They could see Rozan and Gerrard dueling and betting on who was the strongest.
Shelly could feel the presence behind her and then turned around to see Mykel holding hands with Lyneth. She smiled at them both as she waved at Mykel.
"Welcome back, God Mykel," Shelly said.
Lyneth furrowed her eyebrows and looked at Shelly with a perplexed look.
"God Mykel?" Lyneth asked as she stared at Mykel with her eyebrows raised.
Mykel looked at Lyneth and thought that it would be a good time to tell her the truth. He put his hands on Lyneth's cheeks and looked her in the eye.
"I know that this will sound crazy, but I'm actually a God, Lyn," Mykel said with a serious expression.
Lyneth looked into Mykel's eyes back and forth. She didn't say a single word as she kept staring at him and tried to process what she just heard.
Gerrard and Rozan realized that Mykel and Lyneth were on the island with them. They both decided to stop the spar and walked toward them.
"What do you mean by that?" Lyneth asked as she chuckled nervously.
"It would be hard to prove it to you if you're not an Awakener, and not to mention that you have seen a lot of stuff that's beyond human capabilities," Mykel answered as he looked at the sky. "Well, you can ask me to do something that can convince you that I'm a God,"
"Can you bring people back to life?" Lyneth asked.
"He brought me back to life," Shelly answered with a smile on her face.
Lyneth turned her head and stared at Shelly with a surprised look on her face.
"He also brought me back to life, Miss Lyneth," Rozan said as he raised his hand.
"He's also the one who makes me can speak," Gerrard said as he pointed at his mouth.
"I'm their Benefactor, Lyn. Agnez and the others as well," Mykel said as he put his hands in his pockets.
"So, you can bring my father back to life?" Lyneth asked as she gulped.
"That's easy, and I can even make him back to his youth," Mykel answered as he nodded his head. "But are you sure you want to bring him back to life even though he rested in peace?" Mykel asked with his eyebrows raised.
Lyneth was about to say something, but she hesitated and decided to not say it.
"So, everyone knew about this?" Lyneth asked.
"Everyone on the team knows, and only they know about who I am. Asmond and the others don't know about it," Mykel nodded his head.
"Then does that mean I'm the last person who you told? Even though I was the first person you met? The person that has been doing everything for you?" Lyneth asked as she stared Mykel in the eye.
Shelly pursed her lips as she nodded and backed away. Rozan and Gerrard were doing the same thing even though Mykel could clearly see them trying to run away. Shelly disappeared and became one with the wind, Rozan flew away with wind magic, and lastly, Gerrard blinked to the city.
"Because I don't want you to look at me differently," Mykel answered as he looked down. "You always have a special spot in my heart, and I don't want that to change," Mykel continued as he closed his eyes because he was cringing because of what he just said and tried to endure it.
"Then why don't you marry me?" Lyneth asked.
Mykel opened his eyes as he lifted his head to look at Lyneth's expression. She looked mad and sad at the same time. He found it funny, but he didn't show any expression at all.
"Sure, but before that, what will I get in return?" Mykel asked back as he walked closer to Lyneth. "Wealth? Fame? Pleasure? I already have three of them and I can get more of them if I want to,"
Lyneth's eyes started to water, and she didn't know what to say. She felt like her chest was being pressed and it made her hard to breathe. As she tried to breathe, Mykel put his hands around her neck and put his thumbs on her cheeks. No matter how much she tried to resist, his touches always made her calm and at peace.
"Don't," Mykel said as he wiped the tears before they could fall.
Mykel put his forehead on Lyneth's forehead. They didn't say a single word and let the silence fill the air. Lyneth then slowly hugged him and hid her face in his chest.
"You know, it's kind of your fault, master," Rozan said as he floated in the sky next to Shelly.
"You partake in it, so it's your fault as well," Shelly replied as she stared at Mykel and Lyneth hugging. "I guess I can do something about it," Shelly continued as she turned around and looked at the city.
