I’m Going to Destroy this Country

Chapter 128 - You've Fallen (3)



.

The mansion in the capital was the place where Eshua’s direct descendants stayed the most, along with the main residence.

And for Isaac, who had run away from home to become a priest and had been stuck at the Papacy until now, it was a place of great expectations.

Why, you ask?

-You’ve probably never been there, but there’s a secret room in the basement of the capital mansion.

My goodness, a hidden room!

-Hooray! A room of treasure! A room of gold!

-…No, you crazy bastard. It’s the Eshua of all people, it won’t be a simple vault. Anyway, it’s a room that even successive Eshua couldn’t open. There’s a rumor that if you open it, you can become the head of the family, so every Eshua is trying their best… Hey, are you listening?!

Shuri said it was a place of great significance to Eshua, but who cares!

‘Money!’

Yes! The Pentagon is over too. Now that the boarding is over, Isaac needed a house to commute!

So, to contribute to Eshua’s destiny, he crawled into the capital mansion instead of the dirty main residence!

“This guy already learned bad things? Is this what the Blue taught you to do?”

This bastard is making people stand without even giving them food!!

Isaac raised his voice at the family head’s anger. Isaac, who knew well where that arrow of anger was going, opened his eyes wide.

“She’s a guardian, Grandpa.”

More importantly, why is this person here and not going to the main residence when the Offering Ritual is over?

In fact, the ended gloriously due to Isaac’s unparalleled god contract. In particular, it seemed to be a big issue that the God of Criminal Justice, who could only make a contract with the Red heir, made a contract with Isaac.

-For a god of another faith to choose him over his own follower.

-Come to think of it, isn’t the Pope originally said to embrace the gods of the Five Faiths?

-Really? The current Pope’s family seems to only embrace the Gold God…

-It’s not that they can only embrace the Gold God…?

-Oh my, what if someone hears you!

-But there was a rumor that he summoned the Supreme God, is it true?

-Hah, is it true? What kind of being is that?

-No, although it wasn’t officially announced, it might be true considering the Black Pentagon rankings changed.

-Ooh!

-If it’s true, the story is different.

Even now, that rumor is slowly spreading little by little through the spectators.

And as the nobles were scattering to their territories to prepare for winter, the head of the Blue House also had to go to the main residence.

“Since you unpacked in the capital, I unpacked too.”

No, why!

“You need to learn how to wield the power of the Supreme God, don’t you?”

I don’t need it! I’m going to break the contract and make a contract with the God of Wealth!

[I doubt that’s possible.]

Shut up!

“When this old man said he wasn’t going to the main residence, everyone was disappointed and tried to stop me… But I still stayed here.”

Then you should have just gone down!

The family head emphasized that he deliberately stayed in the capital for some reason, but Isaac actually narrowed his brows.

‘Tsk, I was trying to sneak Shabnak through when Grandpa wasn’t here.’

If it’s like this, there’s no choice.

No, rather, if Grandfather approves, there will be no one to say anything?

“Anyway, when you pass the apprenticeship, you can receive a 3rd-grade personal servant, right? So if possible, I want someone I like.”

But the family head stared at Shabnak. And his eyes narrowed as if examining her identity.

Even Isaac couldn’t help but be tense for a moment at the gaze that seemed to examine even the soul.

That was because the Cardinals were originally the leaders of the priests who caught demon kings.

‘Could he have noticed that she’s one of the Fourteen Demons?’

Of course, it was unlikely for a human to easily notice the humanization using the God of Criminal Justice.

But the head of the Blue House was someone even Isaac acknowledged as extremely powerful. So he thought he might have sensed her presence, but-

“What is a young kid like you talking about marriage?”

“Yeah?”

“If she’s a guardian, she needs to have good skills.”

Then Shabnak’s eyes flashed.

“Don’t worry. I’m confident in my skills. I won’t lose to anyone here.”

At those words, Lilai clicked his tongue, unable to stand it anymore.

“I like your confidence, but Isaac decided to go catch the Skeleton King with this uncle. Isaac will prefer this uncle’s guard more…”

“No. I don’t need it anymore. I like Shabra more.”

“?!”

As Lilai made a face as if the world had collapsed, Asili stepped up.

“Young Master. No matter what, she can’t beat a trained Blue Knight. If you want, I’ll…”

“No. I like this sister more than an Eshua person.”

This time, even Asili seemed to be shocked. Only Shuri was glaring, saying, ‘See, I told you she’s his girlfriend.’

In the end, Lilai and Asili’s eyes flickered and sparkled.

“Master. I will check her skills.”

“No, I’ll do it.”

Soon, as Lilai approached with an angry look and drew his sword, Shabnak cracked her knuckles and sent a message.

[Master. Can I kill them?]

‘…You can’t.’

Although Shabnak wasn’t a True Demon and had weaknesses compared to True Demons, she was the strongest 9th-rank demon.

‘If we’re not careful, they might all die…’

No, come to think of it, this was a priest’s mansion. Shabnak will also fight without using demonic power and only with pure martial arts, so would it be okay?

‘Hmm, no.’

Rather, if people of that level spar with her, Shabnak’s skills can be proven at once.

As expected.

“Yes, if he says he likes that person more than an Eshua person, it means her skills are useful. If she wins the skill test, I’ll immediately accept her as our family member. I’ll give her the qualification of a 1st-grade knight.”

At those words, Benjamin, who had been quiet, coughed.

“Father! A 1st-grade… Even so, that’s! Isn’t it a senior knight’s title that requires at least 10 years of accumulating achievements!”

“Well, it’s a reward for elevating Eshua’s name at the Offering Ritual and dealing a big blow to Sephet.”

“It’s too much for a 10-year-old’s reward!”

“Well, we can just take away Lilai’s title.”

“Father?!”

Isaac also lifted the corners of his mouth at the family head’s words.

Heh, as expected of Grandpa, we can communicate!

Good! It’s going smoothly!

Moreover, a 1st-grade knight!

Compared to the 3rd-grade lowlife, it’s at the general level, so it was an absurd promotion in status. It meant becoming equal to Lilai and Asili. Then, it would be easier to move in the Empire, making it more convenient to fool the gods.

‘Good. Fight, Shabnak! Win gloriously! Stick a straw in the backs of those Eshua bastards!’

[Yes.]

“You think I’ll let you take my nephew away?”

It was when Lilai rolled up his sleeves with flashing eyes as if it was a good thing.

“Who told you to do it?”

“…Pardon?”

The family head cracked his neck.

“I’ll do it.”

“…”

At those words, everyone screamed as if doubting their own ears.

“Pardon?!”

“Father, you will?!”

Isaac was just as startled by this.

‘No, Grandpa!’

It’s a bit unfair for Grandpa to step up directly!

Shabnak also seemed a bit nervous.

Lilai or Asili might be one thing, but the Cardinal was definitely not an easy opponent. Wasn’t Shabnak the one who was already being pursued by the Cardinals?

Of course, she had regained her strength now, and it was the White and Red Cardinals who directly clashed with her, but anyway, the Blue Cardinal was ridiculously strong. It wasn’t for nothing that there were rumors that he would have become the Pope if it weren’t for the Gold family.

If such a grandfather was the opponent, Shabnak might have to use all her strength. There was a risk of noticing Shabnak’s identity.

‘Can she go against Grandpa while excluding demonic power?’

It’s better to stop this after all.

“Grandpa, even a 3rd-grade knight is fine, so I think Uncle would be a good opponent for the test!”

“Hah, if she can’t even face a mere Cardinal, how can she be a guardian for my grandson?”

No, usually there’s no need to face a Cardinal?!

But at that moment, the head of the Blue House disappeared.

The family head instantly caught Shabnak from behind.

‘!’

Bang!

The Eshua people sighed at the merciless hand blade. No matter how good Isaac said her skills were when he brought her, she was still within the realm of humans.

But the head of the Blue House was the only one who could fight on par with a half-god Saintess or the Pope!

Her luck with opponents was too bad.

‘It’s over with this…’

But soon they had no choice but to doubt their eyes.

Shabnak, who they thought was caught from behind by the family head, avoided his attack.

“!”

No, it wasn’t just avoiding.

‘She blocked it?’

Shabnak, who blocked the family head’s attack, launched a counterattack.

Bang!

The family head’s hand blade turned into a fist. That meant he was serious. Finally, a splendid magic circle appeared on the family head’s fist.

Boom!

Along with the magic circle, the strike became more and more rough, shaking the mansion and shattering the pillars.

At that sight, Isaac grabbed his forehead as if his head hurt.

‘Grandpa! At this point, don’t you just have no intention of accepting Shabnak!’

This is no longer at the level of a skill test!

But the family head, who was actually facing Shabnak, was unexpectedly surprised.

‘Why is someone like this with that colt?’

He’s not using 100% of his strength, but the same goes for the opponent. They had only exchanged a few punches, but that was enough to gauge the opponent’s skill level.

So it made even less sense.

‘Rather, she’s too good for my grandson, isn’t she?’

Originally, he intended to chase away the bug attached to his grandson. Isaac, who had made a contract with the Supreme God, was already being targeted in many ways.

Those who want to look good, those who are jealous, those who want to use him, those who want to get rid of him. There was a high possibility that this woman was also their spy.

Is that all?

She’s been strangely hiding her strength from the beginning, deliberately aiming only at vital points… Something is suspicious.

‘A demon…?’

Although he didn’t feel demonic power, as the family head who had fought demons for a long time, he had a ghost-like sense. He could instantly notice a demon.

So the family head’s eyes flashed for a moment.

“!”

At the same time, the nature of the holy power emitted by the family head changed in an instant.

Crackkkk!

At that murderous divine technique that suddenly changed, Isaac flinched for a moment. Others may not know, but that was definitely an exorcism technique to exterminate demons!

Shabnak also flinched.

An exorcism technique, moreover, if it’s used by the Blue’s highest priest who has reached the pinnacle of exorcism, even a slight touch would leave no trace of the soul.

This was a technique that made even high-ranking demons cry like babies from the pain. Of course, if it was Shabnak’s level, she could reduce the damage as much as she wanted with demonic power.

But-

‘I can’t.’

She must never do anything that would bring suspicion to her Master.

Even if she reaches the point of mental collapse from the pain and feels it’s better to die, she will definitely protect her Master’s safety!

Soon, Shabnak relaxed her body. To avoid accidentally using demonic power, she completely cut off her strength.

At this, Whisper screamed as if he was in pain himself.

[Master! She’s really going to die! Is it really okay!]

‘Yeah, it’s fine.’

As the exorcism technique finally poured down, the Eshua family turned pale.

“Father!”

“Why are you suddenly using an exorcism technique!”

“That’s a demon. Drive it out.”

“Pardon?!”

Everyone’s faces froze.

What Isaac brought was a demon, what the!

“I couldn’t even feel the energy at all!”

“You immature guys. Well, if we investigate that part slowly… Hmm?”

But Shabnak’s appearance after being hit by the exorcism technique was strange. Far from suffering from the exorcism technique that a demon should suffer from…

Flash!

Rather, as if receiving strength from the holy power of the exorcism technique, veins popped on Shabnak’s forearms.

And like that, she attacked the family head…

What? Attack?!

At that moment. The mansion shook with a loud boom.
