I’m Going to Destroy this Country

Chapter 220 - Saintess's Awakening (5)



A few minutes earlier.

Isaac knocked down the ceremonial priests and entered the ceremonial room. In the center of the room was a summoning circle connected to the god’s summoning room.

Passing through that summoning circle, a long tunnel-like cave opened up before Isaac’s group, but it was a narrow passage that only one person could pass through at a time, which must have been frustrating for Isaac.

Sure enough, Isaac, who came out of the tunnel after mercilessly stepping on his grandfather who blocked his way, widened his eyes.

After stepping on his grandfather and coming out, a huge lake reminiscent of the sea spread out before his eyes. On top of that, powerful light was pouring down from the cloudy sky into the lake!

Isaac’s mouth corners couldn’t help but rise, euheuheuhe.

‘As expected of a god! My lovely prey has arrived!’

And that’s not all.

‘This energy, what a windfall! Puhehehuhe!’

He knew it at a glance. This energy was the power of the god he had contracted with. Not the Supreme God, but the current power in the divine realm.

[You mean that dog bastard who offered the contract to Master?]

Well, yes. In the end, you could say that bastard possessed me into a bug?

Of course, it was the son of the God of Criminal Justice and other high-ranking gods who brought the bug, but it must have been that bastard who placed the sealing technique.

But there’s no way such a powerful bastard would come to the human realm directly, it’s obviously one of his underlings.

This unlucky energy is definitely…

‘Puhehehehe, yes. It is his subordinate.’

His heart was pounding so much he could barely contain himself.

Meanwhile. Unlike Isaac who was jumping around excitedly, Elai, who had been stepped on, was rubbing his forehead as if he was about to die.

‘…What should I do with this unfilial grandson…?’

Where did it go wrong?

Is it because he lacks faith that he’s like this?

Is that it?

Yes, would it be solved if we fill him with faith???

Of course, that grandson was thinking of killing gods rather than having faith, but that wasn’t what was important.

‘We must hurry.’

Elai widened his eyes and looked towards the lake. A holy summoning circle was being drawn in real-time along with fierce light from the sky.

Probably when that summoning circle is completed, the god will descend. To devour the living sacrifice and awaken the Saintess.

‘Joseph and Leia still seem safe.’

Though their faces looked as small as matchsticks, Joseph and Leia were in the temple that continued around the lake.

Soon after confirming the safety of his bloodline, he hurriedly headed towards the lake.

“Benjamin is over there.”

“!”

At Elai’s words, Isaac looked at the lake. In the middle of the lake as big as a sea, a small boat was floating.

On that boat was Benjamin, wearing white clothes signifying an offering. Moreover, he was tightly bound with ropes to the mast… What? Bound??!

Isaac couldn’t help but curse, he was so exasperated.

“Damn it, this isn’t the Indang waters, what the hell is this??”

Is my precious source of money saying ‘Please take me’ to some god like this? Huh?!

‘How dare they!’

Sparks flew from Isaac’s eyes.

“Grandpa! Hurry!”

He shouted as if pissed off and hurriedly used divine technique.

.

When he used the high-level divine technique, blue holy power wrapped around their bodies.

Swish!

Isaac used Swift Step in that state and instantly leaped onto the lake.

Thud!

A large spray of water rose, and two straight beams of light bisected the lake.

Elai, who was following the unfilial grandson, was inwardly relieved. Though he seems unfilial, seeing how he cares so much for his uncle, maybe he’s not unfilial after all.

Soon as the two headed towards the middle of the lake, Joseph, who was watching, jumped for joy.

“Great, it’s done now! Grandfather and Isaac have come!”

He made an expression that was hard to tell if he was smiling or crying as he looked at Leia who had collapsed.

“It’s okay now, Leia. They’ll save Father!”

Tears could be seen forming in Leia’s eyes, whose body’s will had been taken away. Surely tears of joy and hope that she wouldn’t have to kill her father.

On the other hand, the Gold Cardinal was very perplexed.

‘Why are those two here?’

Didn’t they go to Berit?

Could it be that His Holiness failed to stop them?

No, at least Kina headed that way. But even Isaac is here?

The Gold Cardinal became anxious. First of all, the combination of those two was very unfavorable. The Blue Cardinal is no pushover either, but at least his actions are predictable.

‘That bastard is someone who might do anything.’

Honestly, he’s the most disliked target for the conservative Gold.

However, the Gold Cardinal soon pulled himself together and hurriedly summoned the priests.

“Intruders trying to stop the Saintess’s awakening! Catch them until the god descends!”

“Yes sir!”

The priests who were in the temple hurriedly headed towards the lake.

The Gold Cardinal frowned as he looked at Isaac’s group.

‘Even if they came, it won’t be a big variable.’

The god has already been called. As planned, the god will descend and eat the living sacrifice.

But why?

Why is the Skeleton King’s item emitting light?

The Gold Cardinal looked down anxiously at the item he had taken from Joseph. The subordinates called due to the commotion also looked surprised.

“Your Eminence. That item…”

“Yes. It’s the Skeleton King’s talisman.”

“!”

Indeed, it wasn’t a mistake. What he was holding was a brooch with a string attached, which was recovered as spoils of war when the Pope fought the Skeleton King hundreds of years ago.

“Wasn’t that in the forbidden area of the Papacy?”

“Why is it…!”

The Gold Cardinal furrowed his brow.

Of course, even though it’s called a ‘forbidden area’, 1st class priests could enter. Eshua’s direct line members have connections with 1st class priests, so while it wouldn’t be easy, they could bring it if they were determined.

Yes, so bringing it could be overlooked. But why is an item that hasn’t emitted light for hundreds of years suddenly reacting?

This has never happened before…!

‘Is it emitting light because it’s incompatible with the god?’

“Anyway, hurry and stop them! We can’t let the living sacrifice be taken!”

In line with the order, the Gold priests tried to stop Elai and Isaac, but-

“Worms.”

Along with the Blue family head’s savage gaze, powerful holy power struck down the Gold priests.

Bang!!!

“Gaaah!!”

“Aaargh! Oohup!”

The Gold priests fell helplessly, splashing mercilessly into the lake.

“Ughk!”

As expected, they couldn’t approach at all against the Blue family head.

Even monsters that could face Cardinals are rare in this world, let alone the Blue family head said to be the most powerful among them!

“We’re sorry! We can’t…!”

The Gold Cardinal clicked his tongue, tsk. When summoning a god, it’s better not to mix powers as much as possible to prevent variables.

He used divine technique as if he had no choice.

.

At the same time, he stamped the ground.

Then powerful Gold power flew as if to blow away the intruders.

Thud!!!

It was clearly an attack aimed at Isaac, but Elai stretched out his hand as if it was nothing.

Bang!!!

Blue light and golden light clashed violently above the lake.

Rumble!

“Aaargh!”

“Kughk!”

A tremendous earthquake occurred along with an enormous flash. An immense storm that seemed to overturn all the water in the lake swept through the ceremonial room.

Along with that, Elai swung his hand as if pissed off.

“You bastard, daring to charge at someone where there’s water.”

As Elai clenched his fist, a huge waterspout exploded and shot up over the lake. A massive tsunami that could sweep away the temple attacked the Gold priests.

“Wa-Water!”

“This way! Kuhek!”

Elai, who had blocked the pests, quickly turned his head.

“I’ll deal with this, so hurry!”

He checked on his grandson whom he had sent to the center of the lake first. If it’s Isaac, he should surely be able to bring Benjamin back.

Yes, that should have been the case, but…

Flash!

Elai’s face rarely hardened at the flash of light behind his back. An incredible light that could never be seen in the human realm poured down from behind.

Elai couldn’t help but know what that meant.

Rumble!!

“…!”

The descent of a god.

Elai turned his head and bit his lip as if in despair. Inside the beam of light falling from the sky, a god wrapped in golden light was revealing itself.

Its writhing form was beast-like, resembling a dragon.

That was no divine beast or magical beast.

‘God.’

A being incomparably larger than humans was there.

Elai instinctively realized it was too late.

‘We were one step late.’

He urgently called out to Isaac who was going towards Benjamin.

“Isaac! Come back! It’s too dangerous to go any further!”

At this rate, Isaac will be devoured by the god too.

He hurriedly called for Isaac, but Isaac didn’t listen and moved away towards the center of the lake.

“Isaac!”

By the time Elai’s voice faded away, Isaac had arrived at the center of the lake.

[He’s over there!]

Though visible only as a small dot, it was undoubtedly Benjamin bound to the anchored boat! Isaac immediately approached the boat and climbed aboard.

Thump!

As the familiar face climbed onto the boat, Benjamin was startled.

“Isaac?!”

He, who had prepared to be offered as a sacrifice with his glasses off, turned pale.

“Why are you here… No! Do you know where this is!”

But Isaac undid Benjamin’s ropes as if there was no time for long talk.

“Forget it, just get ready to leave quickly!”

“Are you crazy? Get out of here right now!”

“Ah forget it, just obediently…”

“I said stop! You’ll be eaten too if you stay here!”

Isaac looked at Benjamin as if pissed off.

Aoh. Should I just knock him out and take him?

But Benjamin’s face, which was about to say something, hardened. It was because of the huge golden presence looming behind Isaac.

[Two sacrifices.]

“!”

It was an overwhelming power that made humans look like insects. It’s on a completely different dimension from the angels, tutelary stone gods, and divine beasts that could be seen in the human realm until now.

It meant the class was different.

[One low-grade and one top-grade. This sacrifice will be very useful.]

Isaac cracked his neck as if annoyed.

[Which one should I eat first?]

At those words, Isaac clenched his fist with a savage smile.

“The one who should be eaten is you.”
