Shocking Objective

Emperor Rael smiled. "It's simple. It means one thing, really."

He narrowed his eyes. 

"The destruction of the Kandrian Underworld."

Not a single person could maintain their composure at those words.

"What?!"

"Your Majesty, are you truly serious?"

"That is absurd!

Their reactions were justified.

The Kandrian Underworld had long entrenched itself in the Kandrian Empire. It had infiltrated itself so deep that exorcizing it was almost impossible. Even if they tried, the consequences would be devastating, triggering a mini civil war that would harm the nation.

The fact that the Underworld had a Martial Sage, Sage Aggragor, meant that a war against the Underworld would mean a battle between Martial Sages.

That was a disaster that would destroy all life in Kandria.

Thus, the Underworld was left alone and allowed to fester in darkness.

It held the entire nation hostage in order to ensure that it was left alone.
