Destroying My Own Novelchapter 463: human's secret weapon.

Enma managed to block all the attacks thanks to her skill [Absolute Defense] that Gunnar taught her. It was a skill that allowed her to defend against any kind of attack, but could only be used once a minute. The higher the skill level, the shorter the cooldown, and she maxed it out already with Mykel's help.

Asmond felt at ease when he had someone to rely on. He could rely on his team, but it was a different case when comparing it to a tanker like Enma. He didn't have to worry about her safety after realizing how strong she was on defense.

They both tried their best, but it was all futile because Asmond couldn't cut the mammoth's head in a single hit. The mammoth regenerated faster before he could land a second hit, and it was also hard to aim at the heart since it was so deep inside.

"You can't kill it?" Enma asked as she dodged the attacks.

"I can't. This demon is too big for my skills," Asmond answered as he cut the left tusk.

"I'm not surprised. This demon looks like he doesn't belong on the fortieth floor," Enma replied as he dodged the falling tusk. "This thing might be from a higher floor since he's not a Demon Lord," Enma continued as she looked at her trembling hands after blocking so many attacks.

"I agree! How are you doing down there?" Asmond asked.

"I'm fine, but more importantly how are you going to kill this thing?" Enma asked and then rolled over to avoid the stomp.

"The General has prepared a weapon for this kind of situation. The weapon will be here early in the morning which is still six hours from now. We can only distract this demon that long and hope for the best," Asmond answered as he cut the other tusk.

"I guess we have no other choice but to believe in that weapon then," Enma replied as she watched Asmond try to cut the trunk. "Let's see if we both can distract him for six hours," Enma sounded skeptical, but she didn't complain.

They both fought side by side and focused on keeping me mammoth away from the city. Roxanne and the others came back after they all gained consciousness. They were surprised to see Enma there, and not all of them welcomed her because of what she did.

Although they hated to see Enma there, they knew with her around would make things easier. They only had to ignore their feelings and focus on dealing with the mammoth.

After five hours of fighting nonstop, they managed to keep the mammoth away from the city. Everyone was exhausted and hoped they could hold the mammoth for another hour. But suddenly they saw a red flare from the city, and it could only mean one thing.

"The weapon is here?!" Glen asked after he made some distance from the mammoth.

"Go and check it, Glen!" Roxanne said.

Glen nodded with understanding and hurriedly went to the base to see what that flare was for. They really hoped that the weapon came earlier than expected and was a miracle.

Arum and Silas got injured when the mammoth stampeded the ground and almost destroyed their bodies. It was thanks to Enma that she made it in time to protect them. Unfortunately, Enma was also heavily injured because of that and couldn't help Asmond anymore.

"It's just us left, huh? Keep your eyes and ears wide open, Rufus," Roxanne said as she dodged the tusk.

Rufus didn't say anything because he was pissed and hated it when he saw Enma with them out of nowhere. He didn't care what happened to her, and just focused on helping Asmond.

Glen came back as he breathed heavily.

"Asmond! The weapon is here! We need to leave this place as soon as possible!" Glen shouted his lungs out.

"What do you mean?" Rufus asked.

"The weapon they brought..." Glen paused as he gulped. "It's a mini nuclear missile. They're going to blow this area with a nuclear weapon and kill that mammoth with radiation," Glen continued.

"Nuclear weapon?! Are they out of their mind?! That means this city will be inhabitants?!" Roxanne asked in disbelief.

"No, it's a mini nuclear. It only affects a small area and the radiation isn't that lethal. So we have to send this demon far away from the tower and the city," Glen explained.

Asmond didn't hesitate and immediately stabbed the mammoth's left eye to attract his attention. He brought the mammoth away from the tower and into the vast forest beyond the tower.

"Asmond! Take this! You should use it when you managed to lure that demon away to inform the colonel," Glen shouted and threw a handheld transceiver at Asmond.

Asmond grabbed it and nodded with understanding.

"You guys should go now! And bring Arum, Silas, and Enma back to the base!" Asmond said.

They all nodded with understanding and brought them back to the base to get treatment.

Asmond brought the mammoth away from District 5, and immediately informed the colonel. The colonel then sent fighter jets to mark the target and dropped the mini nuclear missile.

He watched as the mammoth took the nuclear weapon without even realizing how terrifying a nuclear weapon it was. He watched as the mammoth went rampage, but slowly his body melted because of the radiation. No matter how powerful the mammoth's regeneration ability was, the radiation ate his skin, flesh, and bones.

It took an hour until the mammoth totally lost his ability to regenerate and died in the middle of a forest. Asmond realized that humans might be able to survive even without Awakeners, but the cost was too much for even killing a single demon like that.

Asmond left after it had been confirmed that the mammoth had died from radiation. In the first place, there was nothing left except a few pieces and layers of skin and flesh.

The sun rose and it was a sign of a new day and the accomplishment of their hard work. But that didn't change the fact of Asmond and the others' suspicions about Enma's sudden appearance. They wanted to know how and why she was there in the first place, so they gathered in the room where Enma was being treated.

"How are you feeling?" Asmond asked and he looked nervous because Roxanne's and the others' gazes were pointing at Enma. He didn't want to show any ill intention, but the pressure was already there thanks to them.

"I'm fine," Enma answered as she looked at her hands that were wrapped in bandages. "I heard the demon has been killed," Enma continued and kept looking down.

"Yeah, the nuclear weapon is terrifying. I watched the demon melt," Asmond answered as he looked outside the window and it was peaceful.

It was just silence after that and it was so awkward.

"Aren't you going to ask me why I'm here?" Enma asked and didn't dare to look at Asmond or the others.

"If you know then you should tell us already," Rufus said in an annoyed tone.

"The reason is that I'm not as heartless as Mykel," Enma answered as she stared blankly at the floor. "I'm not asking for your forgiveness or acknowledgment, I'm just doing what is right. Seeing all of you struggle on your own while Mykel watched is wrong," Enma explained as she leaned her back on the sofa.

"Tch, you're already in Mykel's team. Don't act like you regret your decision. You're the one who decided to leave and joined the Guild Association," Rufus said with his arms crossed.

"No, she's not. She's working with miss Lyneth, not Mykel," Asmond replied as he looked at Rufus. "She's working as Miss Lyneth's secretary. Even if she worked for Mykel, why would he let her stay when the rest of them are inside the tower right now?" Asmond asked back to Rufus.

"And you believe her words? Seriously?" Rufus asked Asmond and gave a stern look at him.

The awkward atmosphere turned to heat because of the two of them. Enma suddenly got up and sighed.

"You can believe it or not, I don't care. I just came here to help and that's all. To think there's a fraction in the team, I wonder if you're incapable or Rufus is blinded by his ego," Enma said without showing any expression, and her expression was enough to tell that she hated it to be there. "Or maybe it's both," Enma continued as she walked away.

Rufus gritted his teeth and listening to Enma's mockery made his blood boil. Glen, Silas, and Arum had already set their eyes on him and were prepared to stop him.

"Enma, where are you going?" Roxanne asked.

"I came here secretly, and I don't want Mykel to find out that I'm here. But, knowing who Mykel is and what he's capable of, I guess I have to prepare and apologize to him," Enma answered and then left the room.

Roxanne thought it was a great opportunity to gain a favor from Enma. She then followed Enma before she lost her.

"Enma! Can I have your time for a moment?" Roxanne ran hurriedly.

"What is it?" Enma asked without stopping and kept walking.

"You hate Mykel, right? If you're interested, can we talk?" Roxanne asked.

Enma squinted her eyes and judgingly stared at Roxanne.
