Destroying My Own World-Chapter 45 - : Different from them.

"Aurea!" Jeanne shouted as she offered her hand.

Aurea ran toward Jeanne and grabbed Jeanne’s hand as she held her new sword in her right hand. Jeanne then threw her into the air which confused the mages and healers from Sinhwa Clan who stayed behind them since they were taking turns with the Shinshi Clan. When Aurea was in the air, suddenly a Sandworm came to the surface with its mouth wide open to swallow her.

Aurea swung her sword and created a projectile attack down to the Sandworm’s mouth. The Sandworm wiggled when her attack was enough to make the Sandworm bleed. As she was free-falling toward the Sandworm’s mouth, she stabbed her sword right under the Sandworm’s mouth and cut it open all the way down.

She landed as the Sandworm’s blood gushed out right behind her and made a blood rain. She swung her sword to get rid of the blood and when she sheathed her sword, the Sandworm collapsed and died from blood loss.

"Nice, I leveled up," Aurea said as she walked toward Jeanne.

Everyone was impressed no matter how many times they had seen those two work together to kill a Sandworm like it was nothing. Although the Chosen Ones could kill the Sandworms just like Aurea did, Aurea and Jeanne didn’t have any artifacts on them which was impressive.

"Looks like things are going smoothly on the other sides as well," Jeanne said as she looked at the distance where bolts of lightning struck the sand that was enough to kill the sandworms underground. The Olympian’s Guild was having a feast there and nobody could stop them.

"Well. As long as we don’t have to babysit them, I don’t have any complaints," Aurea replied and looked at the other side where the sandstorm was happening where the Sun Guild was. "Anyway, I need a better material for my sword. This one sucks," Aurea continued as she pointed her sword at the other side where hundreds of swords were flying around and mutilating the Sandworm. The Golden Lotus Clan was also having their moment and had been on a killing spree.

"You can ask them to give you one of their swords. I bet they would give it to you without hesitation," Jeanne asked jokingly as she chuckled.

"Good idea, but I don’t like the style of their swords. It’s too flashy," Aurea answered as she looked southwest where the Shinshi Clan was and they were dealing with four Sandworms at the same time. "I might ask Ren to give one of his swords. His sword looks kind of elegant," Aurea continued.

"Remember, Mykel didn’t want us to make a scene here," Jeanne said with her eyebrows raised since she knew that Aurea would make a scene the moment she opened her mouth.

Aurea raised her hands as she walked away and walked up to the top of the dune. She then watched James and the others struggle to fight a single Sandworm, but thankfully, Gunnar and the others were babysitting them. Without them, James and the others would die immediately the moment they were facing the Sandworm.

Jeanne walked back to where the Sinhwa Clan was resting, and then she glanced at a woman with long bright blonde hair like her. She was amazed by that woman’s skill since it had been a while since she could see an ability to fully heal a wound.

"You’re really amazing," Jeanne said as she approached the woman.

The woman turned her head and when she saw Jeanne’s face, she was frozen still as if she was staring at a ghost. Jeanne raised her eyebrows as she tilted her head because she was confused about why the woman reacted like that.

"Th-Thank you..." The woman answered and couldn’t stop staring at Jeanne. "You’re Miss Jeanne, right?" she asked.

"Yes. Am I bothering you?" Jeanne asked and she looked a bit guilty.

"No! You’re not! I’m a huge fan!" The woman answered as she shook her head repeatedly. "My name is Eun Soo!" she said as she offered her hand for a handshake.

Jeanne shook Eun’s hand, and she was surprised at how happy Eun’s face was when she touched Jeanne’s hand. Eun’s eyes were watering as she kept shaking Jeanne’s hand, and then she snapped back to reality and removed her hand from Jeanne’s hand.

"I’m sorry..." Eun bowed her head repeatedly at Jeanne.

"It’s alright," Jeanne smiled gently as she put her hand on Eun’s shoulder to comfort her. "Do you want to take a picture with me? You looked so happy to see me, so I guess there’s something that you can bring back home later," Jeanne said.

"I would love that," Eun smiled happily as she nodded her head in excitement.

Eun took a few selfies and she was so happy about it, and she couldn’t wait to show it to Anzel and the others. She then thanked Jeanne for that, and Jeanne was happy that she could make Eun happy.

"Miss Jeanne, you’re hurt? Do you want me to heal you?" Eun asked as she looked at Jeanne’s bruised palm covered in cuts. She didn’t realize that earlier because she was too happy to be able to see Jeanne in person.

"Yes, please," Jeanne smiled as she nodded her head.

Eun held Jeanne’s hand and used her skill to heal Jeanne’s palm, but to her surprise, she couldn’t heal Jeanne’s hand. She was so confused and tried it again, but the result was still the same. She then decided to cut her own palm because she was scared that her skill had limitations, but suddenly her palm was fully healed as if nothing had happened.

"That’s weird," Jeanne said as she looked at her own palm. "It’s alright. This is just a minor injury. It will heal in no time," Jeanne said. "Anyway, I’ll let you be since there are more people that will need your help. I’ll see you later," Jeanne continued.

"Wow, she’s really sweet and kind as I imagine..." Eun said as she looked at Jeanne walked toward Aurea who was on top of the dune and eating her snack. "But what’s happening to my power? Is it because she’s not from here?" Eun asked as she looked at her own palms.

"Eun Soo..." Jeanne said as she sat next to Aurea.

"Hmm? Who’s that," Aurea looked at Jeanne with her eyebrows raised.

"That woman with amazing healing power," Jeanne answered as she looked at her bruised palm. "There’s something I want to test, Aurea. Can you do it for me?" Jeanne asked as she looked at Aurea’s palm which was in the same condition as her from training and using excessive strength to fight the Sandworm.

Jeanne explained to Aurea what had happened, and then Aurea looked at Eun who was still confused. She then nodded her head with understanding and walked down the dune to meet with Eun.

Jeanne didn’t want to look at Eun because she didn’t want to show any suspicion. Not long after Aurea came down to speak with Eun, Aurea came back and sat back next to Jeanne. She showed her palm and it was exactly the same as before she left.

"Nothing happened," Aurea said. "So? What’s this all about?" Aurea asked.

"I think it has something to do with us. Don’t you think that we are different from them?" Jeanne asked back.

"We have always been different from them from the beginning. We aren’t humans, we aren’t Gods, we are just characters from Mykel’s novel. We aren’t living being unlike them," Aurea answered. "No matter how hard you tried to be like them, we can’t. We are just a being that was made through a pen and paper," Aurea continued.

Jeanne hummed with understanding, and she sounded like she wasn’t satisfied with the answer. She started to think about how it would feel if she could become a human like the people who lived on Earth. She then realized that she wasn’t accepted there and that she was just a character with emotions and personalities that were made by Mykel.

"Jeanne, don’t. I know what you’re thinking, and I want you to get that shit out of your head," Aurea stared Jeanne in the eye. "We are all doing this because we want to see Mykel again, remember that," Aurea pointed out.

"I know," Jeanne answered and stared blankly at the vast sand with no end.
