NOVEL NEXT Chapter 43.1
The Holy Spirit with his head bitten seemed to go crazy, thrashing about it.
[You crazy brat!]
Lilai and the elders were also taken aback.
Well, Isaac had a record, after all!
A record of consuming extraneous material (Skeleton King’s body)!
It was genuinely frightening, even if he swallowed a real spirit; it wouldn’t be surprising.
The adults’ expressions became desperate.
It was an emergency.
“Isaac! That’s not something to eat! No, you really shouldn’t eat it this time!”
“That kid can’t be satisfied with just bones!”
“If he eats that too, who knows what might happen! The Holy Spirit might not digest!”
[Hey, you crazy bastards, is that the problem right now? Huh?!]
Lilai also hastily grabbed Isaac.
The legs of the spirit wriggling in Isaac’s mouth looked remarkably like a frog.
“Aren’t you nice?! Later, your uncle will catch an even better frog for you than this one! So let go!”
[Damn, now they’re treating me like a frog!]
Although the adults tried to pull them apart in a hurry, for some reason, Elai blocked them.
“Let him go on his own.”
“But father!”
Lilai was perplexed.
Of course, the Holy Spirit wouldn’t want to be eaten and would try to return to the spirit realm. But how did a king-level Holy Spirit come out? Wouldn’t it be a waste to let things go like this?
This way, the opportunity to make a contract with a king-level Holy Spirit might disappear forever…
[What’s this! Why can’t I teleport!]
“!”
The Holy Spirit thrashed about as if teleportation wasn’t working.
[What’s going on? Why can’t I move?]
Of course you can’t.
Isaac smiled as he looked at the Holy Spirit.
He was infusing the Skeleton King’s magic into the Holy Spirit’s body through the mouth. And the magic power of the Demon King adhered stickily to his body.
To interfere with the use of his holy power, in other words, to bind it tightly with magic power so that he couldn’t escape.
Only now did the Holy Spirit seem to realize that something was wrong.
[You crazy! I felt some magic since earlier. Why does this kid have the Demon King’s magic!]
However, Isaac’s smirked mouth, which had captured the guy, went up into a satisfied smile.
It had to be that way.
‘This body is really useful, yeah?’
What was the first thing Isaac tried to do when he came into this body?
In other words, if it’s the body of a Saint, it should be theoretically possible to break through the defense of those holy faction guys and assassinate them.
Like an immune system.
Check a Saint with the same cells?
There’s no way they would do that.
And magic power is the best poison in the holy faction!
But it was still uncertain whether he could inject magic power.
‘Is this just going through?’
The king-level Holy Spirit wasn’t stupid. Basic protection spells surrounded this guy too.
But maybe because Isaac also had strong magical power.
It pierced through!
The protection spells!
He only touched it a little to match the wave, but it was surprisingly easy to penetrate the protection spell!
‘Or does it not recognize this fatty as a threat because it sees this body as a blessing?’
Of course, he was the Holy Spirit, and he might not be acceptable to the gods, but he was also king-level.
[If it works against lower gods, it could be effective against the majority of the holy faction.]
Yeah. The plan to assassinate with magic power could work.
Well, for now, he was only level 2 in magic, so assassination was impossible, and it would only be a temporary paralysis.
But for now, that was enough.
Why?
[Damn! Because of the magic power, my body feels weak…! Rashes… Ugh!]
‘The Holy Spirits are the noblest and purest beings.’
Isaac smirked at the spirit’s painful appearance.
‘This is it.’
Being clean means it’s easier to get dirty!
Yeah, in other words, the Holy Spirits are vulnerable to magic!
They did an excellent job of purifying others with their purity, but ironically, it was like rat poison to them!
Being too clean seemed to be a problem.
‘I guess it’s not for nothing that they didn’t want to come within a few hundred kilometers of the Skeleton King.’
[I think that was just because of the Master’s face.]
Won’t you shut up? What’s wrong with my face?
Anyway, it was a piece of cake to dirty one more Holy Spirit with the magic power of the Skeleton King.
Well, this guy probably has no intention of making a contract, but who knows?
‘If you find enough strength, I’ll do it even if he hates it.’
The Holy Spirit shivered at the unseen gaze.
[E-Elai! What are you doing! This kid is emitting magic!]
But the family head nonchalantly waved it off.
“It’s nothing. The kid ate the Skeleton King’s body.”
[Ah, so that’s… What? Ate what?!]
“The Skeleton King’s body.”
This crazy! How did he eat that… No, wait.
[Hey! You should have said that first! How polar opposites the Holy Spirit has in magical power!]
“Sorry. I forgot to mention that.”
The Holy Spirit swallowed hard.
[You! Did you deliberately not mention it because dealing with a king-level Holy Spirit is beneficial for your family?!]
“That’s not the case. I’m not happy about how things turned out either.”
Isaac, wiping his nose, let out a dry laugh.
A blatant liar.
He didn’t look sorry at all.
[Well then! Cut off whatever is binding me first! It should be possible with your anti-magic techniques!]
At that, the family head stepped back casually.
“Sorry. The Skeleton King’s aura is too powerful for us to get close to him.”
The Holy Spirit was on the verge of going insane.
No way you can’t get close; what’s with this fisherman being afraid of a fish!
[Aren’t you a family that exorcises the Skeleton King! What’s the use if you can’t get close!]
“Sorry. I’m the least skilled head of the family here.”
Damn! What are you saying!
[The most talented guy among all the heads is such a punk! Forget it! Kill him! Just kill this brat!]
“To order a priest to kill. I can’t help but feel sad.”
[Shut up! You’re really good at killing, aren’t you! Demons just rip out the internal organs! Especially if it’s related to the Skeleton King, you just crush them to death!]
“That’s demons. Killing my grandson, even just talking about it, causes too much mental anguish. We might have to start with compensation.”
The Holy Spirit grabbed Isaac by the back of his neck.
This isn’t a priest, but a scoundrel!
By this point, the elders couldn’t help but be astonished.
Of course, they also hoped that someone from Eshua’s side would make a contract with the king-level Holy Spirit.
But they never thought the family head would act like this.
“Normally, you’d just send him away, wouldn’t you.”
“I don’t like those kinds of jokes.”
He turned away from anything that deviated from the principles, even if it was something out of the ordinary for his sons.
The elders glanced at Goel, who was grinding his teeth.
