NOVEL NEXT Chapter 43.2
Goel couldn’t manage his expression when the king-level Holy Spirit appeared.
Maybe he realized that the family head’s heart might turn towards Isaac.
The elders exchanged knowing glances.
After all, Eshua was currently engaged in a succession struggle between the Pope’s bloodline and the Saintess’s bloodline.
‘A family fight for the position of the family head is more than just a domestic dispute.’
There were hardly any places on the continent where the influence of the five major faiths didn’t reach.
As much as the succession issue of the five great families was a matter of political and military importance to the continent.
The problem was that Eshua, having failed to capture the Skeleton King, was rumored to have earned the wrath of the gods.
-Silver-haired people are also not allowed.
-Oh my, even the Saintess bloodlines born in this generation are said to have received the curse of the gods?
-Still, since the Pope’s bloodline is mixed in this generation, it might get better.
-So, does that mean the Pope’s faction can now interfere with Eshua?
-Hey, he’s the best in the world. It’s not that much, but the Pope’s faction will naturally gain an advantage.
-The head of the Eshua family must be in a great dilemma. But there’s nothing they can do. If their children keep dying one after another.
And the bloodline of the Pope, who received the love of the gods, was considered the savior leading the flock.
‘But it seems that the Saintess’s bloodline, Isaac, is showing his presence.’
So, shouldn’t the family head be forced to favor Isaac?
The elders sneaked a glance at Isaac.
Maybe it’s time to change the target they should support.
“It seems like you’re not intending to acknowledge Isaac as the successor if he’s at this level.”
Lilai sweated nervously as he looked at his father, who seemed strangely delighted.
“No… Father might just think he got lucky.”
The unwavering faith of resistance against anything without bowing down.
And as much as the family head, who suits such a Blue, is trying to use anything.
If only he could.
Even the bloodline.
As evidence, the family head looked at the struggling Holy Spirit like a frog, and his eyes sparkled.
“Well, if you got caught, it might be the will of the gods.”
[What, you punk?!]
“Stay in my grandson’s body. Once you purify all of the Skeleton King’s magic, I’ll send you back home.”
[Damn it, you crazy Eshua! Who are you trying to get for free right now!]
“If that’s the case, just keep getting caught like that.”
[What’s going on?!]
“…”
It might just be that obtaining high-level labor, even for free, makes you feel good.
Lilai looked at his father as if he found him unbearable.
The Holy Spirit seemed to share similar thoughts.
[These psychos! This is why I dislike you! If your family wasn’t the one trying to find the damn Skeleton King, I would have cut ties with you a long time ago! What kind of faith is this, supposedly for the weak?]
“You’re not weak.”
[What are you talking about?!]
The Holy Spirit strongly disliked the Skeleton King’s magic.
[Darn it! Now that it’s come to this, using this breastfed brat to… Ugh!]
Isaac chewed on the Holy Spirit with his toothless mouth.
That damn Skeleton King is me, you idiot.
The family head’s eyes twinkled strangely.
“How long do you think it’ll take to purify? Probably around 100 years, right?”
[Don’t mention your wishes. Are you planning to keep this Eshua kid as a laborer until he dies?]
The Holy Spirit chuckled, warning not to underestimate the king-level spirit.
[Four days. Confine this child and me.]
“!”
[I’ll be here for about two weeks and then return home. After all, purification? It’s not even all the power of the Skeleton King, and just the finger bone will take less than four days!]
Isaac’s eyes widened at the statement.
‘Four days?’
Is the efficiency of this filter better than he thought?
The family head also clicked his tongue.
“Well, that’s how it is.”
It was regrettable, but they had to accept it.
In fact, even staying in the human world for four days was an incredible time for humans.
During that short period, if Isaac managed to gain something, it would be beneficial.
Even if Isaac’s power was slightly purified, it would still be a gain.
‘There’s a saying that purity in both holy power and magic power leads to transcendence.’
Elai’s eyes toward the Holy Spirit subtly glittered.
“Have you ever been summoned to the Pope’s house?”
[Well, they did summon me when they were researching purity, but don’t worry. Even though they annoyed me, they severed the connection. I won’t sell your information over there.]
No. It’s not that he was particularly worried about that.
This guy was a Holy Spirit who, with inherently strong power, would have tempted any faith.
The determined family head shouted.
“Open the eastern gate of the castle. Evacuate everyone inside, and until the purification is complete, let no one enter.”
Goel and the elders were shocked.
“Father! The eastern castle is…!”
“Master!”
For some reason, when they were confused, the family head coldly cut them off.
“I won’t listen to objections.”
“…!”
Upon the family head’s words, Isaac’s eyes curved like a crescent moon.
‘Honestly, I was a bit cautious that he might recognize my true identity.’
But eating the Skeleton King’s body turned out to be a big help.
[Surprising. I actually thought this guy would try to kill you. Is he just a weak and immature guy with a tender heart?]
At Whisper’s words, Isaac burst into laughter.
No? Not at all.
In his eyes, he seems like a nasty guy who would even use demons.
Well, anyway, what’s important now is not that.
The eastern castle?
‘I don’t know what kind of castle it is, but isn’t the eastern castle right next to the annex with magic cores?’
[Yes, that’s right! It’s within spitting distance if you bend over!]
Perfect.
If he does this well, he might be able to absorb all the magic cores in that annex without being noticed.
Isaac wanted to be stuck in that auxiliary building anyway.
[That’s it! You can instantly boost your magic rank with that!]
‘And if I can purify all the impurities in that magic power…’
For some reason, Isaac looked at the Holy Spirit and grinned.
“Lilai, it might take a long time, so stay here and take care of him sincerely.”
The family head’s words made the Holy Spirit burst into loud laughter.
[Oh, even if you use all the tricks to catch me, it’s useless! Do you think a king-level Holy Spirit like me can’t escape from this little brat? After four days, let’s never see each other again, you psychopathic sociopaths!]
But four days later.
The Holy Spirit couldn’t leave Eshua.
No, it couldn’t leave Isaac’s mouth in the first place.
Not even after ten years.
