Destroying My Own World

Mykel, Richard, and Russel were watching the awakened Native American people walk in the door. It terrified both Richard and Russel when they saw the Great Spirit guarding the door, and never thought they would see God with their own two eyes.

"No need to be scared, he's not going to kill anyone unlike the one in Egypt," Mykel said as he looked at Richard and Russel's trembling hands.

"How can you be so relaxed even though you're standing in front of a higher being like that?" Richard asked and looked at Mykel in disbelief.

"What? You haven't seen God before?" Mykel asked jokingly as he smiled.

Richard and Russel laughed nervously because they took that question as a joke and didn't bother to think about it. They both then heard the horse neighing and took their attention. The Great Spirit went inside the door after all the awakened Native Americans that they brought entered the door. The door was shut and they could tell that they wouldn't be able to open it with force.

"Egypt, Greece, Italy, Norway, China, Japan, Korea, India, Africa, and the other regions with their own religions and beliefs, all of them have this door. Do you have any idea what's going on, Mister Mykel? Because right now, the world is scared by this event," Richard asked.

"Mythologies, they're the Gods that used to rule Earth. They appear to come to help us humans deal with the demons," Mykel answered as he looked at the door. "Something big is coming if you think about it. First, all the Minotauruses died, and now this. What do you think will happen next?" Mykel continued.

"The current situation is fine around the world, and because the Minotauruses are dead, we have nothing else to fear except the breakout. If what you're thinking is true, that means the circle and the symbols we saw in Montana are going to be the next problem," Richard said as he rubbed his chin. "We need to fortify that area now, Russel. Send as many soldiers and make the whole area a restricted area," Richard looked at Russel.

Mykel watched as both Richard and Russel were busy contacting the military to fortify the area. He then looked at his watch and silently waited until the needle reached twelve.

"What?! What do you mean?!" Russel was shouting that it attracted everyone's attention. "Sir, you have to check this," Russel looked at Richard with a worried expression as he pointed at the humvee where the laptops were.

Mykel followed them from behind, and when Russel accessed the satellite camera, they saw the circle and the symbols started to light up. The light was going all the way to the sky, and they immediately looked in the direction where it was. They could see it from where they were.

"My God, it's really happening..." Richard looked at the sky and saw the purple beam pierce the sky.

Mykel looked at the purple beam and realized that something was different about it. He decided to walk toward it to see it more clearly, but then the purple beam started to expand and it exploded that made a loud crackling sound in the sky. He knew that it shouldn't be like that because it was supposed to spawn a tower, but it exploded instead.

"Sir, we lost contact with the Alpha team on the site," Russel said with a trembling voice. "Also, we got a major problem, Sir," Russel pointed at the laptop.

Both Mykel and Richard looked at the giant dark purple portal formed from the circle, bigger than the door. They saw demons coming out and there was no sign of stopping.

Mykel looked at the demons and those demons weren't the same as the ones that he had created or seen before. Those demons were different and they were moving so fast that the camera barely captured them.

"Sir, what is that?" Russel asked and he looked terrified.

"I don't know, Russel. That thing looks a lot stronger than the Minotaurus," Richard answered and looked at the demon with long arms and claws with its body as black as charcoal. It didn't have legs, but a raging flame was covering the bottom half of its body. "What are we going to do? Can we kill that thing?" Richard asked as he looked at Mykel.

Mykel didn't say anything and kept looking at the feed with a serious expression. He then said, "Prepare the chopper and send it to pick up my team. We will try to fight it,"

Mykel, Richard, and Russel immediately flew to Nebraska because they heard that the demons were going there after they destroyed the base in Montana and killed everyone there. James, Travis, Victor, and Morris were on alert when they heard the news, and they had prepared all the Awakeners they had to protect the people.

"Have you seen it?" James asked Victor who stood next to him.

"I did, that thing is terrifying and I don't think we can kill it," Victor answered.

"Good thing they're coming, huh? I guess our job here is to delay that thing until they arrive," Travis said as he looked at his own reflection on the giant sword he was holding.

"What's the estimated time for them to arrive?" James asked nervously.

"From New York to here with a chopper, that's going to be four hours or three hours at best," Morris answered as he looked at his watch.

All of them sighed as they loosened their muscles because they knew three hours was too long and had to go all out for this. They were not confident with what they had, and they already knew it would be a hellish ride.

(An hour later)

James was covered in blood, and that wasn't his blood but the blood of his allies and demons making layers on his armor. He looked at his surroundings and the city that used to be crowded with people, now it was covered with dead bodies both humans and demons.

He didn't remember much about the battle because his mind and body were so focused on surviving. It felt familiar and reminded him of when he was trying to survive the first demon invasion. It brought the fear back to him and how he realized that he could die anytime.

"James! Don't think! Keep fighting!" Travis screamed his lungs out when he saw James standing still in between the corpses.

James snapped back to reality and nodded his head with understanding. He then ran to the frontline where demons and beasts slaughtered the humans. He used his skill called [Acceleration] which allowed him to react and move two times faster for half an hour.

Victor used his skill called [Power Up] which doubled his all status for five minutes. He alone was enough to change the tide because he was the strongest compared to the others. His level was 52 after he met with Elena and wanted to become stronger than her which was his only motivation.

"You think you're the only one who can have fun? I want to have some fun as well!" Travis said as he took a giant leap and swung his giant sword down to the ground.

Travis had a passive skill called [Overgrowth] which increased his status points more than other Awakeners when leveled up. He had no special ability, but his status points were almost twice the points than the others who had the same level as him.

"Guys! Be careful! Another wave is coming! Bring them here and get back as soon as you can!" Morris shouted as he looked at the three of them killing the demons. "Oh God. Everyone retreat!" Morris screamed his lungs out.

The giant demon could be seen in the distance with its blazing flame underneath its body. James and the others could see it clearly, and they were almost petrified by its presence. Suddenly the fighter jets flew past them and sent all the missiles toward the giant demon, but when all the missiles hit the demon, it only fed the flame and made the flame bigger and fiercer.

"We are so not going to kill that thing," James said as he watched the demons start to run away because they were also scared by that giant demon.

They were preparing themselves to fight the giant demon, but then they heard the sound of the chopper flying above them. They turned around and saw one chopper flying toward the giant demon, and they were so confused why it went there on its own.

"Is that the reinforcement? That's suicidal," Morris said as he used the binoculars to look at the chopper. "Wait, someone is jumping down from the chopper!" Morris continued.

The giant demon looked at the chopper, and when it tried to grab the chopper, its hands were pushed down so hard that it sent its whole body down to the ground. They didn't know what happened next, but an explosion happened that destroyed the whole building around it. The shockwave was enough to knock everyone down to the ground.

"Did that demon just vanish?" Morris asked as he tried to look as far as he could with the binoculars.

"What?! Who's powerful enough to kill that thing in less than a second?!" Victor asked.

"I don't know, but that demon is really gone," Morris answered.
