I’m Going to Destroy this Country

Something amazing happened.

The moment Isaac placed his hand, the black magical power slunk back in.

The Skeleton King’s magical power that had been raging like a rabid dog shrank as if it had done something wrong. It even looked like it was hiding its teeth with a whimper, as if asking when it had ever bared its fangs.

Those watching couldn’t help but have their pupils shake.

…What’s going on?

‘Why is that?!’

‘The only thing that’s changed is Isaac emitting holy power?’

At the same time, Shuri, Leia, and the palace people were startled.

‘C-Could it be that it’s submitting to Isaac?’

‘That Skeleton King’s magical power?’

‘Is that possible?!’

Originally, the moment someone tried to touch the magic stone, the Skeleton King’s magical power would have gone berserk and turned the Princess into a lump of meat!

‘He’s suppressing it!’

As if pinning down an ill-mannered young beast!

With overwhelming power!

That wasn’t all.

Isaac’s fingertips glowed. Along with that, the magic stone separated from the Princess’s body and…

What?! It separated?!

‘Wait, what is that!’

‘He’s not forcibly tearing it out!’

As if naturally finding its owner, the magic stone was being drawn out, led by Isaac’s hand.

That wasn’t all.

‘It’s coming out without even touching the Princess’s flesh…!’

Everyone was speechless at that shocking sight.

Ordinary people might not understand how amazing this is, but priests and magicians are different.

Even the royal priest who came running at the call seemed shocked.

‘C-Could he be pulling it out with just the power of holy energy?’

Of course, it was theoretically possible.

Magic power and holy power dislike each other, so you could use that fleeing nature. Like separating oil and water, you could push in holy power to draw out magic power.

But for that to be actually possible?

‘It requires tremendous control?’

‘Wasn’t he a 3rd-class priest?’

On the other hand, Isaac chuckled.

Though he was disguising it as holy power, in reality he was just pulling it out at will. As if gently lifting and removing it with telekinesis.

Of course, the magic stone was near the spine.

To avoid touching the nervous system, it needs to be pulled out delicately, so he needs to concentrate a bit, but for a demon king, it’s a piece of cake.

The body seemed to have been waiting for its owner.

But the Black Angel, who was flustered at that sight, burst into laughter.

‘Huh, as expected of the Five Great Faiths. Befitting a prestigious family, it seems they have skill.’

But what will you do after pulling it out?

‘If you pull that out, the Princess dies. It’s already connected to my magic formula.’

You’ve dug your own grave, Esh…

“Oh, brother! The Skeleton King’s body came out!”

“Selene, are you alright?!”

“Yes! Brother, I’m totally fine!”

…She’s fine?!!

The Black Angel’s pupils, which had been relaxed, shook.

‘Wait, this shouldn’t be possible?!’

At that bewildered expression, Isaac smiled contemptuously.

‘I wondered why that bastard was having a fit. He had already done something to the Princess’s body.’

He could tell just from briefly touching the Princess. There was a magic formula on the Princess’s body. And it was clearly a summoning and contract formula.

Sure enough, Whisper, who was supporting Isaac, was enraged.

[That arrogant bastard! Using Master’s body to try and contract with a higher being?!]

At Whisper’s cry, Shabnak’s fierce aura seemed to be felt from somewhere.

[I’ll grind that bastard’s body and process it as food for magical beasts! How dare he!]

Be quiet. Even magical beasts dislike such guys.

But Whisper was right.

‘Something like the Skeleton King’s body is an item even higher beings would covet.’

It could summon not only dragons, but also creatures from places other than the human world. Even if the summoner’s ability was a bit lacking, they would personally appear, taking the bait.

It was that kind of item.

Of course, if that had happened, the Princess would have been consumed as a sacrifice for the contract. It was a petty scheme that used others without incurring any loss himself.

Anyway, that plan failed.

Because the Skeleton King’s body went into Isaac’s hands.

And.

Squeeze!

Isaac lightly pressed the Princess’s back.

Then the magic formula on the Princess’s body was completely destroyed. Isaac had removed the formula with magic power.

Clang!

In the end, when Isaac took the Skeleton King’s body, the Black Angel went berserk.

“Hand that over right now!”

Along with the knife-like shout, a magic circle appeared behind the Black Angel’s back. From there, spears of dark matter revealed their tips.

As the sharp dark matter flew towards Isaac, Shuri was startled.

‘Without even a magic incantation?’

As expected, he wasn’t famous for nothing.

“Isaac! Danger…!”

However, Shuri couldn’t continue speaking.

Bang!

The spear flying towards Isaac was deflected by a shield of light. It was so fast that even Leia, who was about to strike it down with her sword, was surprised.

Shuri had a look as if asking what he had just seen.

“It, it deflected it? That?”

He looked at Isaac as if asking if this made sense.

The blue wing-shaped shield spread out in front of Isaac was undoubtedly a defensive divine technique!

“Didn’t you get 0 points in defensive divine techniques?! Even in the 2nd-class priest exam, surely…”

Isaac rubbed his ear as if asking what he was talking about.

“Don’t worry. I’m really good at protecting my own body.”

“You picky eater!”

“Haah, what can I do. Defensive divine techniques are premised on altruism, wanting to protect others. I can’t do that?”

Shuri grabbed the back of his neck. So that’s why he got 0 points, what a selfish bastard…?!

Shuri beat his chest.

“You crazy bastard, invest just half of your desire to protect your own body in others!”

“Impossible. I want to protect my body because it’s precious. For other guys, it’s completely impossible.”

…Family head. Is it really okay for such a guy to become the next head??

“Ah, it might be possible if they’re not priests.”

Don’t ever say you’re a priest anywhere! You bastard!

Shuri covered his face.

Of course, it’s not bad.

‘Well… Defense is the Gold’s specialty, and the Blue’s specialty is attack. According to the Blue doctrine, it’s enough to know how to protect just your own body for defense… Wait, in that sense, is he too much like the Blue family head??’

Shuri seemed to have a mental breakdown in a different sense.

‘No, even if that’s the Blue doctrine, still!’

But Isaac chuckled.

“Well, the best offense is the best defense, so it doesn’t matter, right?”

“What?”

“I’ll just take care of everything before you get hurt.”

“!”

It was as if Isaac’s values were revealed. At the same time, along with Isaac’s gesture, the Blue vision burst forth.

Flash!

A hemisphere-shaped light spread out centered on Isaac. Along with the mesmerizing power of light, the Black Angel groaned.

Although the Blue vision is specialized in exorcising demons, it’s a different story if the opponent is a magician using black magic.

Magic is largely divided into two branches: magic originating from dragons, and magic originating from demons.

Of course, recently they’ve become so mixed that in most cases the origin is unknown.

But a ‘black magician’ who openly borrows the power of demons?

This is, well, not even worth mentioning. It was enough to check him with the Blue vision that repels evil.

Bang!

“Kuaak!!”

The dazzling and splendid blue light disrupted the Black Angel’s magical power.

At that sight, the palace people couldn’t close their mouths. It was the moment they realized how ignorant their remarks had been.

That wasn’t all.

“Shuri!”

Along with Isaac’s shout, Shuri recited a binding divine technique. Blue chains sprouted from the ground and bound the Black Angel.

Befitting the Pope’s bloodline, he was more talented in defensive or restraining divine techniques rather than attack. And Shuri was talented in delicate control.

Shuri, who caught the Black Angel in an instant, frowned.

“…I caught him, but. You’re not planning to get a bounty for this, are you?”

“Puheh!”

“You’re not, right?”

“Puhihiheheh!!!”

“…I was wrong to ask this bastard.”

At this, the captured Black Angel popped a vein.

“You insolent brats!”

Bang!

“!”

In an instant, magical power burst out of the Black Angel’s body as if going berserk.

Whisper was surprised.

[This power is of the Fourteen Demons…! Could he be a contractor?]

Isaac’s eyes grew cold.

Along with the explosion of magical power, cracks appeared in the royal palace and walls and ceilings collapsed.

“It’s dangerous!”

“Prince! Princess! Evacuate outside!”

“Priests too, hurry!”

The palace knights, turned pale white, guided people out. Leia tried to take Isaac out, but the Black Angel grinned.

With the Black Angel’s gesture, cracks appeared in the ceiling. At the same time, as if blocking Leia, the ceiling and ground collapsed, separating her from Isaac.

“Isaac!”

The entire palace was being shaken, caught in the Black Angel’s power. Everyone was going out of the palace.

On the other hand, Isaac, left alone with the passage blocked, sighed.

“You deliberately blocked the way, huh?”

“Did you think I’d let you go easily with the Skeleton King’s body? I’ve separated you from the Saintess, so don’t expect anyone to help you.”

“Haa. This will be disadvantageous for you.”

“You must have misspoken about who’s at a disadvantage?”

Then Isaac smiled strangely.

“You know, the Blue vision is incompatible with you?”

The Black Angel chuckled.

“Something like vision, you won’t even have a chance to use it!”

Soon, along with vicious magical power, the Black Angel shouted.

“I’ll dry you to death first, and then make the palace people follow soon after!”

As soon as the words fell, a dark red magic circle appeared on the floor.

.

At the familiar magic, Isaac frowned and let out a chuckle.

“Ha. You didn’t use it when I told you to, but you’re using it now?”

A dark red power in the shape of iron filings wrapped around Isaac’s body. Surrounded by that power like a sandstorm, one would instantly have their vitality drained and collapse as a mummy.

“I’m dealing with you with the Skeleton King’s magic. Know that it’s an honor for Eshua!”

Isaac let out a chuckle.

“How petty.”

Along with the low voice, the iron filings surrounding Isaac burst out with a sound.

Bang!!

“Huh?”

The dark red iron filings disappeared like wind in an instant, without regathering. At that phenomenon, the Black Angel doubted his eyes.

Huh?

That phenomenon was undoubtedly ‘magic nullification’.

But… Huh? What’s going on?

‘Did that guy use a magic nullification divine technique?’

No, it seems he didn’t use any technique just now?

Huh? What?

No, wait a minute.

He didn’t use any technique, but magic was nullified?

‘Is that possible?’

Soon Isaac approached the Black Angel.

Meanwhile, the Black Angel tried to use the magic again, but it didn’t even activate.

“What’s going on. Why can’t I use it!”

“Whyy?”

Isaac, who had come right in front, raised the corners of his mouth as if it was detestable.

“ magic is magic governed by demons.”

“!”

“But those demons are ‘my subordinates’, so how could it work on a higher object?”

…W-What did you say? Wait, what?

The Black Angel froze.

Soon Isaac’s hand grasped the Black Angel’s neck.

“Did you say was the Skeleton King’s magic?”

“…!!”

“I’ll show you what the real thing is.”

Isaac’s red eyes glowed like demon eyes.
