I’m Going to Destroy this Country

The old city of oracles, Delos.

Elai, the head of the Blue family, was in that Delos.

Of course, it wasn’t just Elai and his squire there.

‘Are those really humans?’

There were also knights from other faiths.

Those hiding in the trees or on top of ruined buildings were all people monitoring the Blue family head. Other faiths hastily sent people due to the Blue family head’s actions.

That’s because the reason the Blue family head was going to the land of True Demons was for a deal with the Pope!

Because of this, those with various interests involved had no choice but to follow with their eyes wide open.

‘If the Blue head dies here, what about the successor?’

‘The Blue’s successor might change, right?’

‘What if he succeeds in subjugation and the Blue finds the vision?’

‘If the Blue gets the vision, it’s over.’

But aside from surveillance, no matter how much they look, it’s unbelievable.

‘Although it’s still the entrance to Delos, the level of the enemies isn’t ordinary.’

The number of demons attacking the Blue family head already exceeded hundreds.

But those enemies were all split in half, forming a mountain of corpses. One couldn’t help but feel chills at that overwhelming power.

‘Moreover, alone…? Without a weapon?’

As expected, the Blue family head’s name doesn’t go anywhere.

Of course, as they entered deeper into Delos, it was felt that the demons’ power was increasing exponentially.

Soon, a state would come where it would be too much for the Blue head alone. Perhaps he could even die from exhaustion.

However, even so, people from other faiths had no intention of helping the Blue family head.

‘We are only here to watch.’

So someone asked:

“Still, the enemies seem to be getting stronger, shouldn’t we help the Duke?”

“He will really die. As a priest, no, as a human being, it’s our duty…”

Then someone said:

“Don’t be swayed by personal feelings. If we step in, we will also get involved in His Holiness the Pope’s business.”

“!”

“And if the Blue family head dies now, if we do well, the Five Major Families might become the Four Families. Then the remaining position could become ours.”

“!”

And above all…

“If we go down there, do you think we can take these like now?”

“…!”

They swallowed their saliva, looking at the piles of baggage nearby.

In fact, they were only picking out important by-products like bones, teeth, horns, and magic cores of the magical beasts the Blue family head had defeated.

“Do you think you can get this much elsewhere?”

It’s not for nothing that it’s the land of True Demons, it was full of high-ranking demons. They were so amazingly strong that usually, one wouldn’t even think of picking up by-products.

But the corpses of those guys are piled up like mountains?

“Pick up everything. If we take them, they become evidence of defeating magical beasts!”

“We can gain honor and rewards.”

The Papacy gives corresponding amounts and items if you bring evidence of defeating demons.

“Moreover, if we say we defeated demons of this level? Our family’s honor will rise with that achievement.”

“Oh.”

Moreover, magic cores sell for a considerable amount of money if sold to the Magic Empire or related merchants.

‘He defeated that much and just goes without even taking them.’

As the Blue family head defeated demons again and nimbly walked away, the watchmen sneakily came down from the buildings and took the by-products.

The Blue family head’s squire who watched that scene popped a vein.

“Are those hyena-like bastards really in their right mind…!”

From the beginning, they were saying they would see, but they don’t even think of helping us and only take items?

Moreover, even though there was a dangerous moment earlier, they only blankly watched.

‘Using the family head.’

That’s why the squire looked at his master as if pissed off.

“Master. Should we really let those guys be? They are guys who enjoy the Blue’s misfortune, and thieves who steal others’ honor.”

But Elai tore off a demon’s neck as if it was no big deal.

“Leave them. They’re not even from the Five Major Faiths. It’s a waste of energy to care about each one.”

The squire sighed as if it was just like the family head.

“By the way, did young master Isaac and the others really come here?”

“Yeah. It seems so.”

Honestly, when he received the letter from the young masters, he was surprised. At the words that it was a letter sent by Isaac, the family head’s face seemed happy for a moment.

But seeing the face that instantly turned into a tiger after checking the letter, he thought he would die of fear.

‘To think they came all the way here.’

It seemed to be the first time seeing the family head get so angry.

Of course, rather than getting angry because they didn’t listen, it seemed he was angry that his grandsons came to such a dangerous place.

“Still, wouldn’t it be better to see the young masters for now? The place where the young masters are now is also a sufficiently dangerous zone. It would be better to go directly and send them back…”

Honestly, he wanted the family head to leave this place.

But the family head let out a hollow laugh.

“Danger? For Eshua people, a crisis is an ordeal. If they can’t escape such a crisis on their own, they should die.”

The squire sighed deeply.

‘As expected, a strict person. Raising the children to be strong.’

But it was then.

“Master!”

A new magical beast appeared. Even the squire tensed up at the energy of those magical beasts and firmly raised his sword.

“8th rank demon!”

The watchmen’s eyes also sparkled.

“It’s an even rarer one!”

They waited for the family head to quickly deal with the enemy. If it’s the by-products of that level of guy, it can change your life.

Even if the head of the Blue family dies, at least he will use his power before dying!

But it was then.

An urgent contact arrived from the squire. It was a communication device used by the Blue people as an emergency contact network.

This communication device, which is connected to all Blue knights like a walkie-talkie, doesn’t ring unless it’s an extremely urgent situation.

The surprised squire turned on the communication device.

“Lady Leia? What’s the matter?”

-Grandfather isn’t answering the contact, so I contacted you.

At the same time, the squire who heard something from Leia screamed.

“What?! Who was kidnapped? Young master Isaac was kidnapped by demons?!”

-Yeah. Only Grandfather can save him.

The squire had a troubled look.

Soon, the head of the Blue family, who rarely showed interest, asked.

“What is it?”

“…Well, it is said that young master Isaac was kidnapped by demons.”

The squire sighed even after saying it himself. If he says it, he will clearly only get angry. Didn’t he do the same earlier?

‘Even if danger approaches, it’s one’s own ordeal.’

The watchmen who heard the same content also nodded their heads while laughing. They couldn’t hear in detail because it was far, but an Eshua person was kidnapped?

“As if the Blue head would care about that.”

“It’s a matter involving a deal with the Pope.”

“Originally, Eshua are the guardians of faith, so they don’t care about their families. He’s a person who cares more about family matters.”

Even if danger approaches their family, they prioritize doctrine, saying it’s also the fate of the guardian of faith.

“Now, hurry up and deal with the demons… Huh?”

“Huh??”

The watchmen couldn’t believe their eyes. Elai disappeared. He was nowhere to be seen.

“What, where did that family head bastard go?”

Looking closely, the family head’s squire was also packing his sword.

“What, that guy? Why is he packing his bags?”

No, it would be fortunate if he only packed his bags. The child also strongly stepped on the ground and instantly ran off somewhere.

Bang!

Then, with a sound like a cannon, he disappeared far away.

“What, where is that going?!”

The head of the Blue family and the squire’s energy can’t be felt… No, that’s not what’s important now.

This is the middle of Delos.

‘If the head of the Blue family isn’t here…’

A chill ran down their spines.

As expected. The 8th rank demons, as well as the magical beasts that couldn’t even approach until now due to the Blue head’s energy, flashed their eyes. Before they knew it, the eyes of all the magical beasts were directed at the watchmen.

The watchmen, whose faces turned pale, screamed.

“Aaaah!”

* * *

Meanwhile, around that time. A village near Delos.

“Hmm. I don’t know if Grandpa will really come with this.”

Isaac, who had requested rescue, was picking his ear. Well, for now, he went with Leia’s words and said he was kidnapped by demons, but will Grandpa come with just this?

“If it doesn’t work, we’ll have to enter Delos.”

At Leia’s words, Shuri grabbed his head.

“Ugh. Are we really going to Delos? That’s the land the Skeleton King conquered.”

At those words, Whisper asked as if remembering.

[Delos is the place Master destroyed in the old days, right?]

‘Well, it was.’

[It was a curious place because it was the only place Master, who wasn’t even interested in human lands, destroyed.]

At those words, Isaac shook his head.

“Hmm. I hope we don’t go there if possible and end it.”

At those words, Shuri looked at Isaac as if asking what happened, and at the same time, as if moved.

“Even you know about it.”

Shuri spoke to Isaac without even asking.

“Hundreds of years ago, the Skeleton King cruelly eliminated the oracles and priests of Delos. Even now, the Skeleton King’s magic power remains there.”

Then Leia asked:

“The Skeleton King didn’t particularly aim for the Holy Empire’s land. Why did he touch Delos?”

“I don’t know the reason. I don’t think that extremely evil guy had any reason, but… I definitely heard an important figure of the Holy Empire was executed there…”

“Who was executed?”

“Uh… I don’t actually know that. It’s said there was a large-scale execution, but it doesn’t say who was executed. Who was it? A bishop?”

It was right then.

“Who else? It was a Saintess!”

At the familiar voice, both Shuri and Leia were startled.

“…Uncle?!”

The one who intervened in the conversation was none other than Lilai. He was rarely panting. Behind him were the Blue knights with Lilai.

Thanks to that, Shuri had no choice but to widen his eyes.

“No, why are you here, Uncle?!”

“Why am I here? I chased after you! How could you recklessly come to a place like this! Huff… Huff!”

“…But, Uncle. Why are you panting so much?”

“Huff…! I was nearby… Huff! Huff! Suddenly the Blue knights’ exclusive communication device rang!”

“Nearby? Where did you run from for you, the world’s uncle, to pant like this…?”

“Hiles!”

“No, that’s a place that takes several days to reach even at full speed!”

It hasn’t even been a few hours since they used the communication device, but he already came from there to here?

No, that’s not what’s important.

“Isaac!”

“Yes?”

“You said it through the communication device! That Isaac was kidnapped!”

‘Communication device… Could it be.’

Did he hear the content Leia communicated?

At the same time, they thought ‘oops’. If Uncle Lilai, who was that far away, heard it, doesn’t it mean it was heard by all the other Blue knights too?

…It couldn’t be that they’re gathering from all over the continent, right?

As expected. They couldn’t help but be shocked at the Blue knights who activated their communication devices.

-The young master was kidnapped! Save young master Isaac!

-True Demons, these damn bastards. I’ll kill them all!

-How dare they kidnap him?!

…It seemed all the Blue knights scattered across the continent were gathering in Delos.

‘Oh no, we caused an accident.’

But Lilai’s eyes, not knowing it was fake, were rolled back.

“So where is Isaac?!”

“What? Isn’t he here… What? Where is he?”

Shuri looked around as if surprised.

But it was right then.

“Sir Lilai! Young master Isaac is over there!”

“!”

The Blue knights pointed outside. On the roof across, there was a platinum-haired boy and a demon.

And Isaac, who was really kidnapped by the demon, broke out in a cold sweat.

‘Ah, the situation has become a bit awkward.’

He went out for a moment because he didn’t want to hear the topic about Delos, but in the meantime, he was really kidnapped. It seemed he was kidnapped right away because of his platinum hair.

As expected.

[To see a Saint in a place like this. He will be pleased!]

Moreover, it’s a real demon…

At that sight, Lilai and the knights became enraged.

“Is that the True Demon who kidnapped Isaac!”

No. It’s not…

In the end, Isaac sighed.

The kidnapper was just a small fry at Isaac’s level.

‘Still, is it rather fortunate? Since Lilai is here too, can’t we use it to test the vision?’

No, no.

‘Still, it would be better to use it when Grandpa is here…’

But it was then.

“Are you the bastard who kidnapped my grandson?”

…Huh?

Behind the demon stood a familiar face.

And with a very fierce expression at that.
