Agera's team was looking at him and waiting for what kind of response he was going to give. They knew it wouldn't be good for them because they had no idea how powerful Mykel was since he could make them tremble from his presence alone.
They couldn't win the spar in their human forms, and since they were demons, they didn't want a mortal to beat them up. They might have to show their true selves to fight him, and the reason was that he could kill them if they didn't.
"Fine by me," Agares answered as he walked back to the arena.
Agares didn't want to lose face, so he accepted Mykel's challenge even though he wasn't confident. His team didn't have a choice but to follow Agares' decision even though they didn't want it.
Mykel suddenly disappeared and reappeared right in front of Agares with his fist right in front of Agares' face. It was too late for Agares to block it and he took the punch right in his face and sent him off the arena.
Agares hit the wall and was stuck inside as the wall around him started to crumble. He slowly slid down the wall and hit the ground as he was still in shock that he was sent flying by a single punch.
Everyone's jaws dropped when they witnessed how fast Mykel's speed was and their eyes couldn't see his movements at all. They looked at Agares who tried to stand up, but his spine was damaged so that it couldn't support his body and legs which made his whole body tremble.
As James and the others were still looking at Agares' effort to stand up, something just flew past above their heads. The wind struck their faces and immediately turned around to see what it was. It was a man and his face was almost deformed, his jaw was hanging down.
They were still terrified by what they saw, and then they heard a deafening banging sound. Mykel was blocking all the punches and kicks that those five people threw at him. Those punches and kicks were fiercer and more brute than the ones that Elena took earlier.
"Those punches and kicks are enough to break all our bones. How the hell does he able to block them like it's nothing?" Victor asked and he was dumbfounded by what he saw.
"He's in a different league, that's for sure," James answered and watched Mykel dodge the punches and kicks. "One thing that I noticed is that Agares' team has the same power as him. They're not weaker nor stronger than him which is really terrifying," James pointed out.
"I agree. They're on the same level as Agares, and they're not wavering even though Agares has been eliminated," Travis said as he nodded his head in agreement.
"But that doesn't change the fact that they're no match for Mykel. He's not taking single damage from their attacks," Lazarus said and looked at Mykel with admiration. "Their lives are in Mykel's hands because he's pissed, and we can only find out what will happen to these guys later," Lazarus continued.
Mykel looked at the two women and the three men in front of him, and his appearance was still as neat as the moment he entered the training ground. On the other hand, those five were covered in sweat and their bodies started to wear out from trying to land a hit on him.
"Don't you fuck with us!" A red-haired man shouted as he threw a punch at Mykel from his left.
Mykel glanced at the man and took the hit in the face, but then he used his left hand and grabbed the man's face. The man was shocked that his punch didn't even make Mykel bleed, and barely a scratch on his cheek.
Mykel tightened his grip on the man's face, and it started to make a cracking sound that was loud enough for everyone to hear it. The man started to groan and scream in pain as his face slowly was crushed by Mykel.
"That's embarrassing for you to make that kind of noise," Mykel said as he slammed the man down to the floor.
The whole ground crumbled and sank until the whole arena turned into a crater. The man was unconscious from the hit, and then Mykel threw the man's body out of the arena.
At that moment, the rest of them didn't have the will to fight anymore, but they didn't want to forfeit. They didn't have any other choice but to keep fighting him and tried to summon a bit of their powers to their bodies.
"I'll show you my true pow-" The white-haired man said, but before he could finish his sentence, Mykel was already above him with his heel about to hit his head.
"Shut up," Mykel said and hit the man's head with his heel.
The shockwave that Mykel produced was enough to send everyone on the training ground down to the floor. The whole training ground was covered in thick dust and smoke that made them couldn't see anything around them.
The moment the dust and the smoke became thin, everyone could see a bit of what had happened in the arena. Their eyes were wide open when they saw that there was only one person left in the arena with Mykel. The shocking part was that Mykel was grabbing the person's neck and was lifted above the ground.
"Give me your name," Mykel asked as he tightened his grip on the woman's neck that broke Elena's arm and fingers.
"Eli..." The woman answered as she tried to remove Mykel's hand from her neck.
"Eli. I'll remember that name," Mykel said as he deadly stared at Eli.
"Let go of me! I forfeit!" Eli screamed.
Mykel didn't say anything and kept choking her until Eli's face turned purple-ish red. Everyone walked back and asked him to let her go, but Mykel ignored them. He then glanced at them and his gaze was enough to make them quiet.
Mykel turned his head to look at Eli and replied, "No, I don't think so."
Mykel pierced Eli's chest with his left hand, and blood started gushing out of her chest. She was screaming in pain and everyone was petrified when they saw the blood.
"Mykel! What are you doing?! Put her down!" Agera yelled as he walked toward him.
Jeanne, Aurea, Sven, and Gunnar blocked Agera's path and they were enough to stop him from going further. Bhatmelec and the others surrounded Mykel and prevented the others from interfering.
"I can feel your heart beating in my hand," Mykel said with a smirk and eyebrows raised. He then pulled her closer and whispered something into her ear, "I know you're not human, so let's meet again in hell, Eli. Wait for me there."
Mykel crushed Eli's heart and her whole body was tense for a solid minute, and then she died right in front of dozens of people. They were shocked and terrified that he killed a person like it was nothing. He then threw the body toward Agares, and he still had Eli's heart in his left hand.
"You played a dangerous game, and this is your consequence when you lost," Mykel said as he looked at Agares and dropped Eli's heart to the ground. "The good thing she's not a Chosen One and doesn't have a sponsor, so she's replaceable," Mykel continued as he wiped the blood off with a handkerchief.
Agera and his team were glaring at him with hatred and they were ready to use everything to kill him, but they couldn't given the situation they were in and so many eyes in the room.
"What? Do you want to end up like her? Come," Mykel said with a straight face.
Jeanne, Aurea, Sven, and Gunnar slowly moved away and made a path for Agera to come closer to Mykel. Agera gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, but he didn't take a step forward, instead, he walked away and left the training ground with his whole team.
Mykel walked toward Lazarus and the others, and they were unconsciously taking a few steps back because they feared him. He then grabbed Victor's cheek with his left hand which was still covered in dried blood on his palm. Victor was petrified that his knees went weak and couldn't say anything.
"I don't mind if you want to get close to Elena, but be mindful where you put your hands on her. Do you understand?" Mykel asked.
"Ye-yes... Sir!" Victor nodded his head as he held his tears.
The evening should have been a grand party for everyone to enjoy, but it turned into a gloomy and awkward party because of what happened that afternoon. They were all so quiet and enjoyed their food and drink as they glanced at Mykel who was standing in front of Alfredo in the center of the hall.
They could see the anger in Alfredo's eyes, but weirdly enough, he didn't wreak it on Mykel. He acted like he was disappointed and sad which confused them because no matter how good their relationship was, Mykel went overboard and it was unforgivable. Mykel on the other hand, didn't look sorry or guilty at all, and he spoke to Alfredo as if nothing had happened.
Mykel knew even though he was only one of the guests that Alfredo invited, and how everyone knew how powerful the Redshield family was, Mykel already had everyone in his hands. He showed them who was the boss, who could change the world, and who they feared. Alfred knew that as well, that was why he didn't want to make everything worse and decided to prevent that from happening.
"Unfortunately, I have an urgent matter that I need to take care of, so, Ladies and Gentlemen! Please enjoy the night!" Alfredo said as he faked his smile and looked at everyone in the hall. "Cheers!" Alfredo raised his glass.
"Cheers!" Everyone said and raised their glasses.
Alfredo left with his advisor and the whole hall went quiet after Alfredo left the hall. They couldn't enjoy the party because Mykel was in the hall with them. Mykel knew that, and he decided to leave the hall with Jeanne and Aurea.
"Sup dudes, can we join you guys?" Sven asked with Nagy next to him and suddenly appeared right in between Shanka and Darius who were at their table.
"Sure," Shanka answered.
Sven sat down and started talking with Shanka and Darius as Nagy sat next to Zahra and Akila. Bhatmelec and Vincze were joining Zhang, Jeong, and Ren's table and started to have a light conversation with them. Gunnar, Enma, and Edith joined James and the others since they didn't really have a problem with them. Lyneth, Lillith, and Gerrard went to the table where Lazarus and Magnus sat and got to know each other.
"Miss Edith, how's Elena?" Victor asked with a worried expression.
"She's sleeping in her room, and she's already getting better. She will be fine tomorrow, I think," Edith answered and gently smiled at Victor. Her smile put Victor at ease for some reason.
"They both really have amazing recovery, huh? That's good to hear, Miss Edith," James said.
"So, uh. You guys know about that side of Mykel?" Travis asked nervously.
"Boss' personality? Yeah. We know that already," Gunnar answered as he held a bottle of beer. "So you should know by now why we don't fear demons," Gunnar said as he chuckled.
They all laughed nervously and were surprised that Mykel's team was crazy enough to stick around with someone like him.
The atmosphere in the hall slowly lifted up and it became way lively compared to earlier. They started to enjoy their time together and started to open up with each other, but mostly they were all trying to dig up some information about Mykel.
They were starting to switch tables and everyone ended up dragging all the tables and making a giant square table in the center of the hall. They were all laughing and getting drunk from both the drink and the atmosphere.
"I'm going to go to the bathroom," Jeong said to his friends as he stood up.
Jeong left the hall and he was only making an excuse so he could look for Jeanne since he admired her swordsmanship. He wandered around the castle, but he couldn't find Mykel anywhere, so he decided to check the guest rooms on the second floor.
Jeong was looking at the long hallway with doors on each side, and when he walked further, he heard a loud thumping sound from one of the rooms. He was startled but he decided to approach where the sound was coming from. When he got close enough, he flustered and covered his mouth because he heard moans coming from behind the door.
"Fuck, you're too deep! Mykel, you can't fuck me like this after we haven't done this for so long..." Aurea's voice could be heard from the door as she moaned in pleasure. "I'm going to come... Jeanne, kiss me," Aurea continued as she sounded out of breath.
Jeong's heart was racing, and he wanted to get closer to hear what happened inside. As soon as he took a step closer, the moaning stopped and it was dead silence so suddenly. He knew that he got found out, and he immediately ran away as fast as he could.
Jeong went back to the hall and he was out of breath as he went back to his seat. His friends looked at him with confused looks, but when they asked him what had happened, he didn't say anything and only shook his head.
"Miss Lyneth said that she's Mykel's girlfriend, right?" Jeong asked his friend.
"Yes, and she confirmed it earlier when you were in the bathroom. Why do you ask?" A woman with a white hat asked as she looked at Jeong.
"Nothing," Jeong answered as he shook his head and drank his juice.
(The next morning)
"Good morning..." Elena said as she yawned with her messy hair and entered Mykel's room. "Oh, am I bothering you?" Elena was surprised when she saw Jeanne and Aurea's naked bodies on the bed as Mykel sat on the edge of the bed without a shirt.
"No, and it's noon already, Elena. You slept like a log," Mykel shook his head as he stood up. "How are you feeling?" Mykel asked as he looked at Elena's body which had been fully healed.
"I can still feel a bit of sting on my body, but I'm fine. Anyway, I'm hungry, do you want to eat?" Elena asked. "They're not sleeping, they both passed out, so we can leave them be," Elena said as she looked at how tired those two were.
Mykel nodded as he put on his shirt and went to the dining hall with Elena.
Mykel watched Elena eat, and she started to look like Lyneth with her long hair. He then looked at her arm and realized her recovery was abnormal even if she had her [Recovery] skill maxed out.
"Your skill is coming back isn't it?" Mykel asked and drank his wine.
Elena stopped eating her steak and looked at Mykel with a blank expression. "I don't know, but yesterday when I fought them, I felt like my will to not lose made me endure everything," Elena answered.
"I felt their punches and kicks. You were not supposed to survive that," Mykel said as he put down the glass. "I believe it was your skill that made you survive. It slowly coming back, just like me," Mykel pointed out and looked at Elena.
"Do you think so?" Elena asked as she looked at her hands. "I can't feel the energy, but now that you mentioned it, I'm starting to feel sensitive about my body when I woke up this morning," Elena said as she realized that she could faintly feel her blood flowing around her body.
"What happened yesterday might trigger it, and now that it comes back, you might want to train it again," Mykel explained.
"Yes, I will. By the way, where are the others? It's weird that nobody is in the dining hall at this hour," Elena asked as she looked around at the empty dining hall.
"They're exploring the whole area and looking at the other facilities that the Redshield family has. They should be back any moment now," Mykel answered. "Looks like last night they managed to get close to them. It's good for us since now we have established a relationship with them," Mykel continued.
Jeanne and Aurea came to the dining hall, and they both looked exhausted. They sat down next to Mykel and took Mykel's food since he didn't touch his lunch. Not long after that, Lyneth came with everyone, and they were taken aback when they saw Mykel in the dining hall.
"What are you guys standing there for? Are you scared of me? You guys did nothing wrong, so why fear me?" Mykel asked as he looked at James and the others.
Everyone sat down at the long dining table and started ordering their food to the servants standing still on the sides.
"Now that everyone is here, I have something to say that might interest all of you," Mykel said as he looked at them.
