I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 1669: 22.55 Third Red Star - Hidden Paths

Without any means to stop people from destroying the houses in the residential area, the residents can only come to the Lordʼs mansion and plead for their homes to be saved. However, the general didnʼt come out to meet them and can only blame the person who had caused such a situation.

The ones who came out were the former human king and his former royal knight. Noktoʼs appearance made the faces of these people glow, and they thought the Lord had sent them to save their houses.

The former king, Nokto, said, ”The Lords said that there will be no changes to the plans in the residential area. Everyone must be destroyed before it can be rebuilt again.”

”In the first place, this was done so the residential area could be rebuilt and accommodate more people. The young lieutenant wishes to save as many as he can. He is the reason why this plan is implemented,” said former royal knight Xion.

The former Royal Knight, Wolfred, said, ”This is to save more people. The king of mermaids had prophesied that the sea would no longer remain calm as before. To prepare for future calamity, this plan had to be implemented.”

While they are talking, the one mentioned as the person who started this situation had taken a step forward.

The young lieutenant, Sirius von Shaka, said, ”Lords, I would like to meet Lord Ye and Lord Hei. There is something I must do for them.”

”Well, go ahead inside. There in the mansion, you may find them yourself,” Nokto said.

The young Lieutenant Sirius bows his head before passing them and heading to the mansion. Nokto and the other two were staring at him with a fake smile, which looked fake. The young lieutenant didnʼt know why these three were looking at him like this. Even so, he had no choice but to ignore their eyes and heads inside.

He wanted to get closer to his target as soon as possible. The former general and the mermaid king are the targets he had in mind.

Meanwhile, in the residential area...

The soldiers were led by Warden Yun Ming and Colonel Lou Wuye. They didnʼt destroy any houses after kicking everyone out. Theyʼve checked all the buildings, especially the underground area. Their task with the two systems was to find the location where the killing of the human child was done.

Colonel Lou looked around the building he was in. He and his lover had split into two groups, trying to find the location for human sacrifice. System Yue left with Warden Yun Ming to check the other buildings while he was stuck with the Chief Warden.

”Zhi Yang, check if this building has an underground area,” whispered the chief warden to System Yang.

Zhi Yang responded, [No. This building didnʼt have an underground facility.]

The Chief Warden prepares to leave for the next building and sends a few soldiers to check this place.

”Three will stay to check the area for an underground facility. If you find something strange, report it immediately. If none, follow after us right away,” said Colonel Lou Wuye.

It was easy for them to decide which three to state before moving into another building. This had happened many times in the other buildings, but they still couldnʼt find the place they were looking for.

On the other hand, from the perspective of Yun Ming and System Yue, they had also checked a few residential buildings but still didnʼt find the location for the human sacrifice. They passed into a ruined and dilapidated old church, which caught the eyes of Yun Ming.

Zhi Yue noticed that the warden with him had suddenly stopped moving and asked, [Whatʼs wrong, Warden Yun? Have you found out something? ]

Yun Ming thought for a moment. If there is a place for killing people secretly, then it must be done in a place where people will not venture or stay at all. After all, draining blood will allow the scent of blood to linger in place.

”Follow me. Iʼve thought of something. Yue sends a message to the Chief Warden to watch out for abandoned buildings instead of underground facilities. I have an inkling that this abandoned temple is what we might be looking for,” said Warden Yun Ming.

They went inside the abandoned temple, but as soon as they entered, the strong scent of blood made the soldiers with Yun Ming frown.

Yun Ming said, ”It seems we found the right place. Immediately find a secret mechanism of this place. Find something that leads us underground!”

”Yes, sir!” The soldiers saluted before splitting around the ruined building looking for a secret hideout.

Yun Ming was checking the broken altar before him, touching lightly everything where the strongest scent of blood led him. He touched around and heard something click. Suddenly, the whole building started moving, and a secret path that led to the underground appeared before them.

Zhi Yue said, [Jackpot! We found the right place!]

Yun Ming said, ”We are going down. Be vigilant!”

Meanwhile, Yun Ming takes the lead to the underground stone stairs. Colonel Lou Wuye and System Yang, who received the message from System Yue, found an old run-down clinic. Like the first group, they also found a secret path that leads to the underground.

”Follow after me. Prepare to fight and be careful!”

Zhi Yang said, [This path is connected to other paths, but the end seems to lead to one location. I can feel the presence of Yueʼer getting closer.]

”That means they also found another path. We can meet them in the underground,” said Colonel Lou Wuye.

They suddenly heard Zhi Yueʼs excited voice, [AH! Itʼs AʼYang and the Chief Warden! ]

The two wardens approached one another, and their groups merged and finally had the time to look around. When the two groups reached the end of their respective paths. But what welcomed them at the end was a gruesome scene of dead children with drying bodies hanging on the rocks like clothes. Their blood and flesh were drained, leaving only the skin they had on the surfaces. At the center of everything is a pool of crimson blood. The strong scent of blood and death lingers in place.

BLERGH~

Some soldiers, regardless of how experienced they are in war, couldnʼt help but puke at this scene. They ran over to some corner and vomited. The only ones that are calm are the two wardens and the two systems.

Zhi Yue said, [Even the flesh is gone. I thought he only needed the blood to remove the scent.]

”Fierce ghosts yearn for the blood and flesh of the living. Itʼs their source of strength as well as their food,” said Colonel Lou Wuye.

Zhi Yang said, [It seems that not only children are eaten. He even ate the originalʼs mother. This is Madam Sheenaʼs skin.]

Warden Yun Ming frowned in disgust. ”I canʼt believe we are just noticing this now. How many lives had he taken while keeping a peaceful demeanor at the surface?”

Colonel Lou Wuye pats his loverʼs back in comfort and says, ”Find evidence and destroy this area. Now that we have found this place, he can no longer escape!”

Grumbles~

All of a sudden, the whole land started trembling and shaking. Feeling the danger of the situation, Colonel Lou Wuye issued an order to leave.

”Retreat! Everyone retreated to the surface!”

Before they returned to the surface, Colonel Lou Wuye found an old terminal lying around on the ground, and it seemed to be something owned by Madam Sheena when she was still alive. He grabbed this and pulled his lover out of the place before the area crumbled and headed to the surface.

At the Generalʼs Mansion

After Sirius von Shaka entered the mansion, he was looking around to ask someone where the former general and the Mermaid King were. However, there are no servants for him to ask for and he can only look for them on his own.

He suddenly heard splashes coming from the outside and realized that there must be a pool in this place. Since there is a sound of water, that means there are people. He heads to where the sound of water is coming from and finally finds the path that leads to the pool area.

Splash! SPLASHED!

Upon reaching the pool area, Sirius von Shaka was stunned to see a gorgeous silver mermaid. It was a little mermaid this federation is used to seeing. But a real human-sized mermaid, under the sunlight, looks like a fairy that controls the water.

Beautiful and elegant. As if watching the most perfect being of the sea appear before his eyes. Even for an Ancient God of the oldest times, this kind of ethereal beauty is rare, and the only being he had seen possessing the same type of beauty was only one person.

The Ancient God of Chaos, Hunluan.

The ancient soul in Siriusʼs body whispered, ”Lord Hunluan?”

The mermaid with a silver fishtail turns his head to look at him with a cold gaze, rendering the latter stunned and speechless. He saw the resemblance of this mermaid to the Ancient God of Chaos he used to revere.

A cold and fierce deep voice was heard asking, ”Who the hell is there? Come out!” This is the God of Void, who was annoyed seeing his private time with his beloved destroyed.
