I’m Going to Destroy this Country

Lilai narrowed his blue eyes.

“That…”

“Aaaargh!”

“I came to find Isaac, but…”

His eyes were moving around in confusion as he said that.

In other words, in front of Lilai, there were Red priests pulling their hair out, one, two…

“Aaaargh!”

“Please! Just find the Sixth Demon for us!”

“Who brought that bastard!”

“Damn Blue bastards!”

…No, there were dozens of them.

‘What the?’

Just what happened during those few hours he was asleep?

Lilai’s pupils trembled.

He was lying unconscious with Shuri in the Papacy’s sickroom. He, who was out of it due to the truth serum Naiser mixed into the vision potion, woke up because of the messenger sent by Goel.

-Lilai! Hurry up and take that damn kid away!

He had no choice but to wake up because the blue bird kept pecking at his head.

‘That bastard Naiser used a strong one even for the truth serum.’

Was it an advanced truth serum with high-ranking magic cores ground into it?

As an 8th rank paladin, he detoxified it in an instant, but it was so strong that he didn’t feel good, like a hangover.

In the first place, the only one who could be fine after eating something like this would be the Pope, who is closest to god.

Of course, Isaac, who ate the high-ranking magic cores, was not only fine but even prancing around saying ‘hehehehe give me more’, but anyway, Lilai laid down the staggering Shuri and came out.

Yeah… To take his nephew who must be having a hard time after eating the truth serum, he ran out of breath like that, but.

Having a hard time, my ass.

“Aaaargh! Save me!”

“Please just take that bastard home!”

“You Blue bastards, how are you educating your nephew!”

The Red priests were the ones suffering instead. They had been tormented for hours by Isaac’s antics.

‘Damn it, while we’re doing this, who knows how far the Sixth Demon has run away!’

‘If we lose the Sixth Demon like this, we’ll really take all the blame!’

The Red priests’ hearts were being crushed.

Moreover, the situation seemed to have escalated, as even Leon Sephet, the Red Cardinal, came to see what was going on.

“I asked you to find the Sixth Demon, and it’s a complete mess.”

“Your Excellency!”

The Red priests greeted the Red Cardinal as if they had been saved.

He walked over to the Blue Cardinal, who was leisurely having tea time.

For him, this situation was both disgusting and laughable. No, honestly, it was even interesting.

“You’re putting in a lot of effort. To prevent him from choosing an evil god.”

As expected, Leon, who stood in front of the Blue Cardinal, smiled brightly.

“Can I assume that the Blue is deliberately avoiding it?”

“What are you talking about?”

The Blue Cardinal waved his hand. It means get lost because it’s annoying.

At that, the Red Cardinal rather looked as if he was convinced, raising the corners of his serpentine mouth.

“The more the Blue acts like this, the more suspicion falls on young master Isaac. At this rate, we’ll have no choice but to arrest the entire Blue family.”

He already seemed thrilled at the thought of making the noble Blue scream.

The Blue knights trembled at that sadistic smile.

Hundreds of years ago, wasn’t there an incident where the Red almost brought down the Blue? There’s no doubt they’re trying to reenact what they failed to do back then in this generation.

That’s why they looked at the Blue Cardinal with unease, as if asking if it’s really okay to do this, but-

“Eesh, suspicion? Has any evidence come out that my grandson released the Sixth Demon?”

Yeah, it hasn’t.

The Red priests clicked their tongues.

‘The Pope’s power was discovered on the demon’s handcuffs.’

But you can’t point to the Pope as the culprit, can you!

The Red Cardinal said:

“We’ll give you proper treatment at the god selection, so cooperate with us, will you?”

This bastard? What? Treatment?

Are you scheming to take someone’s grandson away?

But the Red priests were all smiling with the same eyes.

‘The investigation is already over.’

‘There’s only one reason why the Berit family is desperately trying to stop Isaac’s god selection.’

‘Because he’ll end up choosing the evil god that is the Gold family’s nemesis among the evil gods.’

In other words, for the Red, it’s an opportunity given by god to send away both the Blue and Gold at the same time.

“I expect you’ll find the Sixth Demon within an hour.”

“Bullshit. If you’re the one asking for a favor, at least bow that stuck-up head of yours.”

As the head of the Blue House turned away, completely ignoring him, Lilai followed.

“He’s saying that because he’s being pressured.”

“I know.”

“Then are you deliberately not finding the Sixth Demon to corner the Red!”

Yeah, no. It’s because of Isaac’s faith that you’re doing this crap… no, that’s why.

Goel, who alone knew the truth, tapped his chest as if he was dying, but he couldn’t open his mouth.

‘Yeah. It might be better for the Sephet family to misunderstand.’

Let them be humiliated on the day of god selection.

The Blue’s high-ranking knights also nodded their heads.

“To keep the Red family in check, it’s better not to find the Sixth Demon. Master!”

“Yes! That’s righ… huh? Ah! Then could it be that young master Isaac is also deliberately…?”

The Blue knights widened their eyes as if they were very surprised. They seemed to have realized everything only then.

“There was a reason why young master Isaac had been making empty shots!”

“Oh my god, he was deliberately not finding him!”

“Even though his reputation would be a concern, solely for the Blue’s sake…!”

No, that’s not it! Goel’s eyebrows wriggled intensely. I swear he’s not a guy with such a noble purpose!

At the knights’ words, the family head was inwardly proud, but he glanced at the place where the Sixth Demon was hiding and holding his breath.

Well, he says this, but the head of the Blue House was originally displeased.

It was the previous generation that caught the Sixth Demon, but anyway, wasn’t it the Pope who made the Sixth Demon submit by taking the Skeleton King’s body hostage?

And he considered that cowardly. It would have been better to catch him and dispose of him on the spot.

“He only came to find his master’s body.”

“!”

The previous generation also lent the Saintess’s Treasure Vault on the Pope’s orders for the greater good, but neither the previous generation nor Elai liked it.

So Elai didn’t bother to catch the demon who escaped from the execution ground.

Of course, the Sixth Demons did cause a commotion in the Holy Empire to find his master’s body. Perhaps due to the Skeleton King’s order, he didn’t eat or kill humans, but there was quite a bit of property damage.

And he thought the price of that sin was more than enough by being used as a slave for decades. No, it was rather excessive.

So never show yourself again. It meant we’re even with this.

“Of course, the opportunity is only once. If I see you again next time, I’ll catch you without hesitation.”

“…”

Is this how you’re acting now?

Moreover, that bastard Isaac doesn’t even seem to have any intention of finding the Sixth Demon!

Whether he knew Goel’s gaze or not, the family head picked his ear.

‘Well, just the training to find the Sixth Demon will help with his growth.’

The family head inwardly had expectations of how far Isaac could rise.

Yeah, if it’s that guy, the family’s long-cherished wish to get rid of the damn Skeleton King…

But that was short-lived.

“Isaac?”

“Father?”

“Where did Isaac go?”

Isaac had disappeared as if he had been kidnapped.

* * *

“Hmm. So that’s how it is.”

Quiet Isaac was in an empty house in the city.

It was to check the message Shabnak had secretly left behind.

There was information he had to find out about what happened during the 150 years, but meeting in person had too much risk.

[But it’s been a while since I’ve seen this code.]

Demon language was written on the wall. If you don’t know the code system, it’s just a food recipe, but wasn’t he someone who originally conversed with his direct subordinates in code?

Of course, due to the escape situation, the amount of information contained was small, but there were very interesting contents.

[But I never thought the True Demons would take over Master’s position.]

“Well, those guys would do that and more.”

True Demons are the strongest demons with pure bloodlines. They were the ones who originally considered it a disgrace to follow the lowly skeleton.

And as expected from what Ash said, it seemed they were targeting the human side, led by the True Demons.

-Human slaughter, food.

Moreover, the absolute oath he had placed. In other words, it was difficult to break the ‘prohibition’, so they were moving the demons as they pleased by putting forward a fake Skeleton King.

If it was an order from the Skeleton King who made the prohibition, it would only mean the order changed temporarily, not that the prohibition was broken.

‘If you want to be the new king, just break my prohibition. How dare you impersonate me without even being able to break the rules?’

In other words, the fake Skeleton King is a trick.

Well, I think the king’s position should be given to the new generation, but don’t cross the line.

‘If you want to do some dog shit, do it in your own name! Fuck!’

It’s because of you guys that the Eshua bastards’ eyes have rolled back! They’re always shouting for the Skeleton King’s execution like lunatics!

[No. Master, you also have some karma there. Because you threw away the Saintess.]

Won’t you shut up?!

Do I have to keep receiving Skeleton King execution edition gifts after becoming this body?! Huh?

They even put a curse on this body, you fucking bastards!

Anyway, Isaac roughly figured out what happened to the other Fourteen Demons and what plans they were making, but he’ll have to meet them in person to hear more specifically.

‘If I stay in the Holy Empire, I’ll meet the True Demons someday.’

Rather, what’s interesting now is something else.

-Restraints. Pope, Crown Prince.

It seemed Shabnak had overheard the Red priests’ information.

What those words mean is that the Pope and Crown Prince’s power remained on Shabnak’s restraints.

‘I can understand the Pope, but the Crown Prince?’

Why is the Crown Prince coming up here? Is there any reason for the Crown Prince to be interested in the Fourteen Demons?

It was a bit strange, but it seemed he would have to check this later too.

Because some unpleasant guys had been watching him for a while. That’s why Isaac scratched his cheek.

‘Hmm. Well, okay.’

Just what kind of god has chosen him that the Gold brought up the adoption story and Goel dodged the question.

Well, Isaac was curious. So he wished there was someone who would give him a straightforward answer.

But…

“I never thought assassins would be sent.”

At Isaac’s words, the assassins who were hiding and watching flinched in surprise.

‘He noticed us?’

‘That little kid?’

‘Priests should be dull at sensing energy?’

But Isaac looked at the ceiling with indifferent eyes.

Well, there was nothing surprising.

Just as paladins are sensitive to presence, if magic reaches a high level, they can sense the presence of ants and even souls.

And roughly guessing, they would be assassins trying to eliminate rivals over god selection. The reward for the Black Pentagon was no joke.

If not, it would be the Gold family.

‘But no matter what, to attract assassins?’

Even if it’s a high-class god, it would be at most a high-ranking god?

No, of course, it would be great if it’s a high-ranking god level, but isn’t it within the expected range for a direct descendant of the five major families?

‘Rather, shouldn’t they target Shuri, who was chosen by the Blue God?’

But it seemed the assassins weren’t like that.

“If you stay still…”

“You’re not going to say bullshit like you won’t take my life. You fucking assholes.”

“…?!”

At the same time, Isaac’s eyes flashed.

Boom!!

At Isaac’s gesture, Whisper greatly expanded his body.

Then the inside of the building was instantly shattered and assassins fell from all over.

Thud!

“Ugh!”

The assassins immediately took a stance, but they trembled upon meeting Isaac’s chilling gaze.

‘What the…!’

‘I couldn’t even sense him using divine techniques!’

That wasn’t all.

“Ah. Fuck. They’re even guys who use magic.”

Moreover, their identities were exposed even though they hadn’t done anything yet!

But Isaac cracked his neck.

‘At a glance, they’re not proper magicians.’

Well, there were some. Magic Swordsmen among mercenaries who used magic in combination. They would be the kind of guys likely to be assassins in the Holy Empire crawling with priests.

Yeah, they were the kind of guys that would be here, but…

“Don’t let him escape!”

“The weakness of priests is magic.”

“Damage his lungs so he can’t participate in god selection!”

As the assassins ignited flames, veins popped on Isaac’s face.

The flames created by the bastards were so pretty… so pretty…

[It’s such pretty 3rd level  magic.]

…Damn it, was I looked down on this much?

Only a 3rd level attack magic in front of the Demon King!

Ah, my blood pressure.

Just which bastard sent them?

It doesn’t seem to be the Red family or the Gold family.

The White? The Black? If not, another noble family?

And then. As if the fire was an illusion, a needle was stuck in the back of Isaac’s neck.

Poof!

‘!’

“Done.”

“Judging by the looks of it, you seem to have acted alone to gain credit. Blame yourself for leaving your family and acting alone.”

Isaac blinked.

Uh. So the thing stuck in his neck seems to be a poisoned needle.

The problem is that it’s a holy poison.

And it’s of quite good quality.

What should I do?

Should I pretend to collapse?

“What the, why isn’t he collapsing? Isn’t it not working?”

“What? The holy poison has no effect? Even though he’s a priest?”

Then, Isaac, who had an ‘oops’ moment, tried to collapse while raising his hands.

“Oh no, my mind! But I won’t collapse with just this! I am an honorable person of the Blue!”

“As expected of the Blue. Stick one more in him!”

At those words, Isaac, whose ears perked up, pretended to barely endure while staggering.

“Oh no! You think the Blue will submit to just 2 poisoned needles!”

“He’s still talking! Stick all you have in him!”

“The head of the Blue House is nearby. Hurry up and move before we get caught!”

About twenty needles were stuck in him. Isaac, who had become a hedgehog, finally lay down pretending to faint and sucked on the magic of the poisoned needles.

“Now, with this…”

Bam!

But then, someone came in.

Isaac was startled. It was an unexpected person.
