Destroying My Own World

"Incoming!" Anzel yelled as he looked at the three-eyed demon who was about to release a beam from his third eye.

Everyone took cover and then a bright light appeared as it obliterated everything that it touched. Everyone was trembling in fear and could only imagine themselves dying if they got hit.

Thousands of innocent lives had been taken by the hand of the demon and there was nothing they could do about it. They had to see body parts hanging on the rubble or laying on the ground, and it took a toll on their mental state.

"Where are the fucking reinforcement?! We can't do this with just this many Awakeners!" Magnus asked as his whole members got smaller and smaller.

"Do you think that will make a difference? Just focus on keeping that thing on the bay. Once it gets on the land, it will be over for us," Lazarus said as he caught his breath. "We both are the strongest here and the only ones who can hurt him, and yet he could heal himself. Just keep him busy and don't waste your time and energy thinking about other things," Lazarus continued.

Eun Soo ran as fast as she could after the demon stopped destroying the land with his beam. She approached Lazarus and Magnus, and it surprised both of them to see her there.

"I'm going to heal you both. Please wait for a moment," Eun Soo said as she touched her hands on Lazarus' and Magnus' shoulders.

They both felt refreshed and no longer exhausted from using their powerful skills. They both were glad to have her there with them, and that made them not worry about their conditions.

"I'll keep healing you both, so please, don't let that demon come any closer," Eun Soo said with a worried expression.

"Don't worry. You're all that we need right now," Magnus replied as he stood up and held his spear so tightly. "Let's do this, Lazarus. This is going to be a long day for both of us," Magnus said.

Lazarus nodded and then pointed his spear at the sky to borrow Zeus' power and let him control the sky.

"I'm ready whenever you are," Lazarus said with his eyes set on killing the demon.

Lazarus and Magnus released their powerful attacks and hit the demon right in the head. Both the powerful life energy beam and the thick lightning bolts struck the demon. Everyone looked at them like they were their savior, but the moment they were done, the demon was fine, with only small scratches on his face.

"Again!" Lazarus shouted as he released more lightning bolts that should be enough to destroy a mountain.

"Save your breath," Magnus replied and created a stronger beam right onto the demon's third eye.

The demon released a beam to stop Magnus' attack, and slowly sent the beam back to Magnus. Seeing that Magnus couldn't win against the demon in a one-on-one fight, Lazarus swung his spear and collected the lightning bolts to his spear. He thrust his spear and sent a thick lightning bolt to hit the demon's third eye from a different angle.

The demon blocked the lightning with his hand, but the current traveled from his hand all the way to his head. The demon was electrocuted by the powerful current and made his third eye blink and stop the beam.

"That's a new discovery. Your power is powerful enough to stop that thing from using his beam," Magnus said as he fell to his knees and his hands trembling from exhaustion.

"And so are you. You can buy time to fight the beam," Lazarus said as his hands went numb because he got electrocuted by the lightning as well. "Thankfully, we have her. We might buy time until the reinforcement come," Lazarus looked at Eun Soo who was busy healing both of them.

They both fought for hours as the others tried to evacuate the remaining people who were stuck in the battle. They used every second to bring the people out to safety, and they managed to send all the citizens away from danger.

"Magnus! The reinforcement is coming!" A man said.

"Fucking finally. When are they going to be here?" Magnus asked.

"Not they, but it," The man answered. "The United Nations has given the Pantheon a green light. Dimitri is going to nuke that thing while it's still in the sea. They want us to embrace it," he continued.

"Embrace it? What the fuck?" Lazarus asked in disbelief.

"The explosion won't be big, but the radiation should be enough to melt that thing. They said it will be safe for us, but we do still need to take cover from debris," The man answered.

Lazarus and Magnus looked at each other and thought that it wasn't really a bad idea to try. They knew they couldn't keep doing this since the demon was slowly but surely getting closer and closer to land.

"How long before the impact?" Magnus asked.

"Three minutes. They're asking you guys to keep holding the demon back," The man answered.

"You heard him. Three minutes is nothing compared to what we have been doing the past few hours," Lazarus said as he looked at the demon. "Miss Eun Soo, it appears that you still have to take care of us for three more minutes. Can you do that?" Lazarus asked.

"No problem. I'm prepared to heal you both for a whole day," Eun Soo answered with confidence.

The three of them shared a laugh and then decided to buy time until the nuclear bomb hit the demon. The moment they knew they had to wait for three minutes, the time seemed to move slower than before.

"One minute before impact! Be prepared!" Eun Soo shouted as she looked at Magnus and Lazarus.

Everyone already left and hid in the buildings behind Magnus and Lazarus, and they were enjoying the view. Suddenly one of them told them about the bomb that was going down from the sky. They all looked up and saw the trail of the bomb, they were clenching their fists as they held their breath.

"Get back!" Anzel shouted.

Magnus and Lazarus went to the nearest building where Anzel and the others were. They heard the loud explosion when the nuclear bomb hit the demon right in the chest. They could feel the shockwave and the dust that hit their eyes. The explosion was so bright that they couldn't see anything except the aftermath of the bomb.

"This is the first time we used a nuclear bomb to fight demons. I wonder if it's work," Anzel said as he looked at the giant mushroom smoke in the air.

"All we can do is pray," Anastasia replied as she waited patiently to see if the demon could handle the radiation.

Sasha suddenly walked out of the building and walked toward the demon. Everyone looked at her with confused looks, but then they followed her because they wanted to see it as close as they could.

"(Look carefully, Sasha)" Lucifer whispered.

Sasha watched the smoke slowly disappear and the demon was still standing tall. She watched the demon move its hands to clear the smoke around him, and that made everyone devastated.

"(He's the destruction of humankind, and that's his only purpose)" Lucifer said.

"Wait for it. The radiation won't take effect immediately. Let's wait and watch for a little longer," A man said as he prayed that the nuclear bomb would be enough to kill the demon.

"(That thing isn't a demon, and that thing obviously not an angel)" Lucifer said. "(That thing isn't my creation, neaither the angels') Lucifer continued.

The demon looked at his chest and saw it melted very slowly, but it didn't stop him from regenerating his chest. His regeneration is faster than the radiation, and a single bomb on his chest wasn't enough to stop him.

"(That thing was created by The Lord as a weapon to bring extinction to humankind. Nothing can stop him no matter how many times they bombard him with nuclear bombs)" Lucifer explained. "(But you, you can stop him. All you have to do is to beg power from me)" Lucifer continued.

"We are doomed..." A man said in a trembling voice.

"No. I made a mistake once, and I won't make another," Sasha answered as she pulled the daggers. "You can destroy me from inside, but I'll never bring myself down furthermore," Sasha continued as she walked toward the demon that slowly walked to the land.

"Miss Sasha! It's dangerous over there! The radiation will kill you!" Anzel shouted as he tried to stop Sasha from going further.

"I'll be fine," Sasha said with a weak and gentle smile.
