" Destroyer alert! Destroyer alert! " the counter lady who was the broadcaster said throughout the town as the whole townsfolk panicked.

" Destroyer... I feel a weird energy just from it. " Y/n said as he sensed a faint energy from it. " Kazuma! Y/n! We're running away! We're running far away with Dante and Wiz! " Aqua said as she was pulling a carriage.

" The mobile fortress Destroyer, it would be a foolish decision to fight it even with Y/n's power. " Megumin said calmly. " I keep asking, what is a Destroyer!? " Kazuma asked angrily as Darkness then entered.

" An ancient weapon that went on a rampage. They say wherever it passes through, not even grass remains. " Darkness said as Y/n started walking towards the guild. " Hey! Y/n! We should go away now! " Aqua called out.

" I need to see this through. There's something bugging me with this Destroyer. I must act as I desire something, or it'll breed pestilence. "

" So it is written. " Griffon, Kazuma, and Y/n said as Aqua wailed more. " Now is not the time to quote William Blake! " she called out as Kazuma covered her mouth.

" Shut it! Other than Y/n said so, we can't let this house we worked so hard to earn go to waste! " he said as he pumped his fist high.

Kazuma: Ko

Griffon: No

Y/n: Su

Dante: Ba!

Adventurer's Guild

" Everyone, thank you for responding to our emergency announcement! We'll now start the request on repelling the Destroyer! There are no job restrictions on this one so I hope all of you will take part. If the guild judges this quest as a failure, we'll escape and abandon the town. All of you are our town's last line of defense, so we're counting on you! " the counter lady said.

The council for the emergency war had started and as a staff member rambled on and on about the Destroyer to clarify the whole thing, only to have their hopes being broken. All their suggestions in how to subdue or repel the Destroyer were just in vain and useless.

" I guess we all commit die then... Or run. " Griffon said as they all lost hope. " At present, the Destroyer is heading towards northeast of the town. Only one hour remains before its arrival. " the staff member said as the observatory hawk gave vision and scouting of the Destroyer.

Y/n's eyes widened as he saw the Destroyer. It was as if someone had modified it with Qliphoth roots and was functioning to regain Urizen's strength and give him more power. ' So that's why I'm feeling strange when I sensed the Destroyer... ' Y/n said to himself as he secretly summoned Shadow.

Y/n left the guild after sneaking out and Dante caught the sight of him leaving and then used Trickster to catch up with him. " Something the matter? You seem a bit serious. " Dante asked worryingly as he observed Y/n.

" The Destroyer has been modified by Qliphoth-like roots. Even if there's no one controlling it, it will try to pilfer out those who will run away to get human blood. We need to stop the Destroyer. " Y/n said as
Griffon almost coughed when he gasped. " Are you serious?! Your magic won't do shit for a barrier that is capable of high magic resistance! Are you out of your mind?!  " the avian demon shouted as they were near the entrance.

Y/n only smirked and said:

" Who says we're gonna bombard it with magic? I still have a secret weapon in me, both figuratively, and VERY LITERALLY. "
