Destroying My Own World

"Mister President! The satellite captures the battle between Mykel and his team against the Minotaurus!" Russel said as he barged into Richard's office.

"Put it on the TV," Richard said as he stood up and walked to the sofa so he could watch it comfortably and from up close.

The moment Russel turned on the TV and put what the satellite captured, the first thing they saw was the damage that the Gatekeeper made. There were dozens of craters, and the hills and forests that used to be beautified Montana were gone and flattened.

"Good God, what happened over there?! Is that all the Minotaurus' doing?" Richard asked as he looked at how Mykel, Elena, Jeanne, and Aurea dodged all the Gatekeeper's attacks.

"Yes, and as you can see, Mister President. The Minotaurus is enraged. We have never seen it could be so angry, not even when we fight it last year," Russel answered as he gulped and watched Rozan use earth magic to slow down the Gatekeeper's movement. "It looks like the Minotaurus wasn't even trying to fight us back then if we compared to this," Russel pointed out and saw Gunnar block the Gatekeeper's attack with his shield and survived without a single scratch.

"Unbelievable..." Richard said and was in disbelief when he saw how organized Mykel and his team moved. "It's like they're playing with the Minotaurus. How can someone be so fearless and confident against that demon," Richard continued without blinking his eyes because he didn't want to miss a single second of it.

Mykel looked at the twenty-meter-tall Gatekeeper in front of him and watched Jeanne and Aurea run toward it. The Gatekeeper roared to inflict fear on them, but since their [Mind Stability] skill was too high, it didn't affect them at all. They both then slid to dodge the Gatekeeper's stomp enough to create a huge crater on the ground.

"Gerrard! Now!" Rozan shouted.

Gerrard released his steel arrow and Rozan immediately coated the arrow with wind magic to increase speed and added more momentum on the arrowhead. It was the same move when they first fought the Demon Lord's servants, and the arrow hit right on the Gatekeeper's knee.

"He's all yours, ladies!" Rozan shouted and looked at Jeanne and Aurea.

Jeanne and Aurea jumped and grabbed the steel arrow that was stuck on the Gatekeeper's kneecap. They both launched themselves up and tried to slit the Gatekeeper's throat, but the Gatekeeper swung his left hand at them while they were in mid-air.

Sven and Vincze jumped and swung their spear and scythe at the Gatekeeper's hand. They both pushed and pulled down the hand before it could hit Jeanne and Aurea. When they were close enough to the Gatekeeper's throat, he protected his neck with his right hand. Nagy, Edith, Bhatmelec, and Lillith who had been running all the way to the Gatekeeper's back immediately boosted each other so they could reach the Gatekeeper's tricep.

"We only have one chance, don't miss it," Bhatmelec said after she gave Nagy a boost.

Edith watched Lillith hold her daggers so tightly after she gave Lillith a boost. Both Nagy and Lillith managed to make a deep cut on the Gatekeeper's tricep and the muscle on its armpit. The Gatekeeper lost its right arm's strength and removed its hand that protected its neck.

Jeanne and Aurea stabbed their swords right into the Gatekeeper's throat and kept pushing them deeper. They both screamed their lungs out as they both pulled their swords to the sides and created a big cut in the Gatekeeper's neck. They both were pushed by the gushing black blood that came out of its neck and fell to the ground.

"It's our turn now," Elena said as she cracked her knuckles.

Mykel and Elena ran as fast as they could before the wounds could regenerate on the Gatekeeper's body. They both used Gunnar's and Enma's shields as a foothold and jumped high enough to reach the Gatekeeper's head. They both spun around and kicked the Gatekeeper's face with Mykel's heel and Elena's toes with all their might.

The Gatekeeper's head was pulled off and was flying so far away that it rolled over a hundred meters away from its body. The Gatekeeper slowly collapsed and went down to its knees until its whole body hit the ground lifeless.

"That strategy is really nice, boss..." Gunnar said and looked at Mykel in awe.

"It felt like a deja vu back there," Mykel said.

Richard and Russel were dumbfounded with their eyes and mouths wide open when they saw how easy it was for Mykel and his team to kill the unkillable and invincible demon. They both were screaming and cheering in joy which made the bodyguards come to check what had happened.

"It's over! We are safe!" Russel said as he laughed in disbelief and rubbed his head. "Wait, hold on. What's that," Russel pointed at the TV and looked at the Gatekeeper's body that slowly melted and a purple light appeared from inside its body.

Richard and Russel with the bodyguards watched as the Gatekeeper's body disappeared but its blood started to gather around the purple light. They saw the blood was moving and created a symbol on the ground that looked like a star. They were so confused and saw Mykel and his team walk away from the scene hurriedly.

"What's happening over there? What's that? A symbol?" Richard asked with a worried expression. "Give me the satellite phone," Richard said to Russel.

Russel pulled the satellite phone from his trouser pocket and dialed Mykel's satellite phone. He then gave it to Richard while it was still ringing.

"Mister Mykel! What's happening over there? Are you alright?" Richard asked as soon as Mykel picked up the phone.

"We aren't sure, but so far nothing is happening after this symbol appears," Mykel answered as he looked at the glowing symbol on the ground with a fifty-meter diameter. "It's better to keep an eye on this and perhaps put a team to observe this further," Mykel continued.

"Alright. We will send a team to observe it as soon as possible," Richard said as he nodded his head with understanding. "One more thing, Mister Mykel. Thank you for your service, and we will reward you plentifully as soon as you're back," Richard continued.

"Our objective isn't to kill the MInotaurus, Sir, our objective is to take back the capital city, so we will continue our journey until we got Washington back," Mykel said as he put a cigarette in his mouth.

"You're right, but now the main threat is gone, we will send armies to accompany you there. Oh, and all the guilds are on their way there as well, so I believe it's better for you to take them with you," Richard replied as he sat down after he calmed down a bit.

"That's great. We will wait for them in the nearby town then," Mykel said as he looked at the others who were listening and staring at him. He then hung up the phone and told the others about what it was all about.

(London, United Kingdom)

"Prime Minister, it just moved," A man in a black suit said and he looked panicked.

"The Minotaurus?" The prime minister asked.

"Yes, and it looks like the Minotaurus is trying to do something..." The man said as he showed the footage on the tablet.

They saw the Gatekeeper rampaging and destroying the city. The Gatekeeper was located in Poland, Warsaw and it had been abandoned because of the Gatekeeper.

"Why suddenly it acted like that?" The prime minister asked with his eyebrows furrowed.

"We are not the only one. The ones in China, Australia, Brazil, and Egypt also acting the same. It's as if something had triggered them and made them act like that," The man answered with a worried expression.

"And do you know what triggered them?" The prime minister asked.

"We just heard the news that the Minotaurus in the United States has been killed an hour ago. I believe that's the reason why the other Minotauruses are acting this way," The man answered.

"Who killed the MInotaurus?" The prime minister asked.

"A group of people that was led by a man called Mykel Alester. He and his team of twelve people killed the Minotaurus," The man answered.

"Pardon?" The prime minister was baffled.
