I’m Going to Destroy this Country

“Your younger brother also came to see you. Now you can’t say you can’t return the organs, right?”

At Isaac’s chilling smile, Koural, the older of the True Demon Blood Brothers, trembled his eyes.

What kind of situation is this? Why is his younger brother there? Why is he bleeding and unable to move!

Of course, his face was so bloody that it was unrecognizable, but there’s something called the energy of power. There was no way he couldn’t recognize his own brother.

So Koural’s mind had no choice but to go blank seeing Shabnak.

‘That woman, what is she?’

Not human?

[How can a human make my brother like that…!]

“Koural. Are you deaf?”

At Isaac’s voice, Koural completely froze. Did this little kid just call my name?

‘How does a human know my name…!’

But that was short-lived, as Shabnak’s icy voice slapped him in succession.

“Didn’t he tell you? Should I personally open that dirty mouth for you to speak?”

[…!]

Cold eyes looking at him like a bug.

At the same time, Koural, overwhelmed by Shabnak’s majesty, froze. There was no way she could be human in the first place!

‘The only ones who can make a True Demon like that are other True Demons.’

Moreover, for such a power difference, it can’t be a half, but a real True Demon!

‘No no, that can’t be.’

No matter how you look at it, she’s a human woman!

Seeing Koural’s face mixed with confusion and fear that he might end up the same, Isaac chuckled.

“Don’t be scared. If you don’t want to end up like your brother, it would be good to return the organs quickly.”

At the mocking laughter, Koural’s face popped a vein.

He could endure it if it was another True Demon, but being ridiculed by a young priest punk was physiologically unbearable.

[How dare a measly human to a True Demon!]

Koural tried to lay a hand on Isaac, but at that very moment.

Thud!

Murderous intent soared to the sky. As if locked up magic power exploded, Koural almost lost consciousness along with the ominous magic power.

Shabnak’s eyes were flashing as if the person standing behind until just now was a different person.

“You ignored his words twice.”

[Kuhk…!]

‘What power…!’

Scary. An overwhelming power struck down on Koural’s head as if it would shatter it. The power that struck down mercilessly felt like it would grind his facial bones to powder. He couldn’t even move his mouth. This was probably even with controlled power.

Just standing next to her was enough to feel fear, but Isaac was calm as if he was used to it.

And it was even scarier that this little one was holding back this brutality.

“If you don’t want to become a pancake, you know well what you have to do, right?”

Koural gritted his teeth as if he had no choice and moved his foot. As he wiggled his foot, something was felt moving along with magic power.

It was the movement of the organs.

Isaac, who felt that, finally smiled with satisfaction. Then, as if saying well done, he patted Koural’s head.

“Good. Since you’re useful, I’ll specially give you a few more chances to answer.”

What did he say?

“Tell me what the True Demons are doing now.”

‘Ha, I wondered what he was asking.’

[The True Demons are currently in territorial disputes in their respective territories…]

As if those words were trivial, a blue flash fell on Koural’s leg.

Bang!

[Aaaah!]

As one leg was burned by the vision, Koural screamed.

“Don’t spout nonsense and answer properly. Territorial disputes? Do you think I don’t know that such guys brought a fake Skeleton King to the Ordination Ceremony?

[!]

Koural, hit in the vital point, looked at Isaac in surprise. But Koural kept his mouth shut.

Of course, what Isaac said was correct. The declaration of war using the fake Skeleton King was just a bonus, and the real purpose was to destroy the Empire’s barrier.

But up to that point, it was within the scope that any smart priest could infer.

The real purpose, he wouldn’t know…

“You’re thinking of shattering the barrier and summoning the sacred dragons, right? You’re after the dragon’s magic core.”

[…!]

No, he figured it out that far?!

Isaac smiled brightly.

“Well, good. Even if you lick the sacred dragon’s magic core, you’ll barely reach the toes of the Skeleton King.”

[…!]

“But it doesn’t seem like the purpose is simply the magic core. If that was the case, you would have just shattered the dragon’s nest.”

As Isaac tried to destroy the remaining leg with the vision, Koural screamed.

This damn Blue’s vision!

It was inevitable for him to feel wronged while chanting curses.

[The Pope definitely said he got rid of the Blue’s vision, so why the hell is this!]

But Isaac, who mercilessly wielded the vision, smiled chillingly.

‘The Pope got rid of the vision?’

It was an interesting story. Of course, something else took priority now.

“Your answer?”

[The leader of the sacred dragons! We’re trying to lure out that guy who’s hiding! The barrier of the Holy Empire is that guy’s job, and that guy has the Skeleton King’s body!]

Isaac’s eyes widened as if unexpected.

What? My body was still in the human world?

[This is information even humans don’t know, right?]

Yes, that’s probably true. If they knew this fact, the Papacy and Eshua Duchy would have been the first to go crazy and rush over, right?

[I hope it’s the torso or the head. The magic power would increase incomparably more than finger bones with that.]

Isaac lifted the corners of his mouth.

“Good. Since you’re somewhat useful, I’ll give you another chance to answer.”

‘This little brat…!’

As if getting more arrogant, Koural gritted his teeth, but Isaac destroyed Koural’s remaining leg with the vision.

“Where is the sacred relic said to be in Delos?”

What Isaac was referring to was the sacred relic the Pope told him to bring.

Well, rather than trying to complete the order, it was to take it and shove it in the Pope’s face because it was something he coveted.

“Answer.”

[In the Delos Temple… Kuhk!]

“Don’t use your measly brain to think of lies. I can tell everything just by looking at your expression.”

[Damn it, in the underground of the tower in the Delos forest! Buried together with Eshua’s eldest son and his wife! We shoved it in there out of bad luck!]

Oh, they placed it in my parents’ grave. They tidied up the work nicely. I was going to ask about the parents’ remains anyway, so they saved me the trouble.

“Good. Now that I know that, I’m done with you.”

As Isaac got up, Koural still glared at Isaac as if he didn’t understand.

‘Who the hell is this little brat?’

Even if he was simply of Eshua’s blood, he knew too much about them. Moreover, he was fine even with the Skeleton King’s malice, and he didn’t cower as a human facing True Demons?

Could he be a dragon pretending to be human? Is that why he easily inferred that they were after the dragon’s magic core?

…Elves or spirits are afraid of the Skeleton King. No matter how much he wracked his brain, the guy that came to mind…

“Grandpa is getting closer. I have to deal with it before then.”

“Yes. As the Lord commands.”

Koural felt a strange sense of déjà vu.

…Wait. Come to think of it, wasn’t there a guy among the Fourteen Demons who spoke in that stiff manner?

The moment that thought went crazy, Koural got goosebumps. Because someone flashed through his mind.

The pressure that struck him down, the skills, the way of speaking.

Ah, I remember.

[You! Could it be, you’re the Shabnak of Rejection!]

“!”

Koural, who shouted, laughed like crazy.

[Ha! Yes! It’s you, damn it! Yes, since it’s Shabnak, my brother and I ended up like this…! Damn it! How did the guy who was captured by the Empire…!]

But he froze even after saying it himself. Because he realized a fact even more chilling than the fact that this woman was Shabnak.

‘Wait.’

If that’s Shabnak, then this little kid is?

There is only one person Shabnak would loyally follow like that. In this world, there is only one person.

Soon, the blood drained from Koural’s face as he looked at Isaac. It was a face more terrified than any other moment.

[D-Don’t tell me… you!]

Isaac grinned with a chilling smile. Along with that spine-chilling smile, Koural’s vision floated up to the sky.

Crack!

The True Demon’s head was sliced off.

* * *

The forest near the river where Isaac disappeared.

Elai, the head of the Blue family, was surveilling the surroundings.

In fact, he had chased after Koural, but on the way, he noticed Isaac’s energy heading in a different direction.

Moreover, that speed wasn’t normal. Yes, as if he was kidnapped by someone.

Koural, the enemy, was important, but what if Isaac was kidnapped?

Elai’s footsteps had no choice but to head towards Isaac, who seemed to have been kidnapped.

Of course, all of that was a tactic. The one luring Elai was none other than Ash. Ash was luring the Blue Cardinal almost in tears. It was none other than Isaac’s order.

-Hey. Lure Grandpa away so he can’t chase after me.

-…Y-You want me to lure the Cardinal alone?! That’s…

-You don’t want to? Then become my magic core.

-I have committed a sin worthy of death.

-Well, I’m not that bad of a person. I’ll specially give you the rattle too.

-??

Not a bad person, my foot! What the hell is that rattle that the Cardinal is chasing after me with crazy eyes like that?!

In fact, Ash created Isaac’s avatar and was moving with the rattle and a diaper on it.

Well, the problem was that it worked strangely well, too well, that the Cardinal was chasing after him as if to kill him.

‘Hoeng, if I get caught, he’ll really exorcise me.’

Even for a high-ranking demon, the Cardinal was scary. She had no idea what would happen to her if she got caught by that grandson-crazy guy. Moreover, he might interrogate the relationship between herself and the Skeleton King.

Just like that, right before Ash was almost caught.

“Grandpa!”

“!”

Isaac popped out from the opposite side of the forest.

“Grandpa, what are you doing here?”

The Cardinal, who confirmed that Isaac was safe, widened his eyes.

“Isaac. Why are you coming out from there?”

“What are you doing there, Grandpa? Are you lost? You shouldn’t be like that already.”

…That guy?

“Perhaps you lost your rattle?”

“I left it at the lodging. Why?”

Then the Cardinal sighed as if realizing something.

“It seems the demon bastard was trying to lure me by imitating your energy.”

Since it’s the land of True Demons, it’s something that can sufficiently happen.

But what’s important is not that side. Even to avenge the knights who will retire and the eldest son and his wife, he has to go to Delos.

If possible, he wants to put Isaac in the head’s position and go to Delos, but now there is no opportunity to make Isaac the family head.

“I will go to Delos, so return to Eshua with the knights. Don’t do anything stupid.”

At those words, Isaac smiled brightly.

“Grandpa. A present.”

A present?

Isaac held out something.

The head’s eyes widened unusually at the sight.
