I’m Going to Destroy this Country

“Oh, this hair color! Indeed, young master Isaac is someone who has received the blessing of the gods.”

Priest Elden grinned widely.

Lilai also smiled warmly.

“Yes, all of this is thanks to His Holiness, who works for the faith of the Five Great Faiths and the people of the Empire.”

“Hahaha, it seems Sir is very humble. Thanks to Eshua, who always handles the demons at the forefront, the Empire is peaceful. We are always grateful.”

Grateful for what? Those guys who always call them the meat shield?

Lilai, smiling amicably, was boiling inside.

He had rushed to the Eastern Castle in a panic when he heard that Isaac had gone to meet the envoy.

There was no other choice.

An officer, not even a scholar, and an officer from the Pope’s faction. Why would someone from the Papacy bother coming here?

‘What do they want by taking Isaac with them?’

Are they planning to take a child who can’t grow up to the Pope’s house and make fun of him?

On the other hand, Elden was also boiling inside.

‘While I have to steal the Holy Spirit, why are there thorns in my side?’

He had deliberately summoned only Shuri to meet the children. Moreover, this kid had been suspiciously staring at him since earlier.

And Lilai Eshua. The genius 8th rank paladin, known as the silver killer whale of the Empire, was staring at him so persistently?

Naturally, it was burdensome.

Well, no matter what, he didn’t know about his plans, but he had to drive Lilai away.

“Many priests regret that Sir Lilai, who was the chief priest, unexpectedly chose the path of a paladin instead of a priest. Even my nephew always asked this!'”

“Haha, ‘even if it’s your nephew’ sounds strange. It’s not pleasant to hear, as if treating a nephew like an object. Please apologize to Isaac.”

Snap.

Elden raised his eyebrows, indicating that this guy was catching onto the conversation’s tail. This opposition was more severe than he thought.

It became annoying.

Well, he might have sensed something?

“Oh, if it was unpleasant, I sincerely apologize. I guess I got carried away due to the rumors about young master Isaac. My expressions may have become a bit rude.”

“That’s right. Our child is outstanding. Memorizing over a thousand volumes of the Skeleton King’s knowledge at that age. How intelligent.”

…No, isn’t he just a brat?

Well, no matter how you look at it, he was a helpless child.

‘Now. Skeleton King’s magic power! You hate the stench of the Holy Spirit, don’t you?’

Go berserk! Then he could kidnap the Holy Spirit!

“Because of the Skeleton King’s magic power, you might be worried if he can become a priest, but it’s okay. If it’s the child of the Saintess, how exceptional would his abilities be? Many priests want to raise him in the Papacy.”

Lilai smiled.

Seeing this guy desperately pleading was even more suspicious!

Of course, under normal circumstances, he would have believed in human goodwill! But just looking at the gifts the Pope’s factions had sent to Isaac made him shiver.

However, he couldn’t kick out an envoy who came from the Papacy without justification.

So he stuck close to Isaac.

Why?

Because the Skeleton King’s magic power hated priests, and it would violently drive away anyone who wasn’t from Eshua.

But the priest from the Papacy, the central headquarters of the clergy?

Damn Skeleton King’s magic power won’t respond well!

Well, these guys wouldn’t be able to say anything even if their heads were shaved off by the Skeleton King’s magic power, as long as they had their pride.

‘Now, Isaac! Cause a ruckus and drive out that annoying guy!’

And Elden was no different, his eyes gleaming as well.

‘Come on, go berserk! That way, I can take the Holy Spirit!’

The eyes of the two adults looking at Isaac gleamed simultaneously.

‘Come on!’

‘If he goes berserk…!’

‘This brat…!’

‘The Holy Spirit…!’

But 10 seconds, 20 seconds… and 60 seconds passed.

No response.

“…”

“…”

They tilted their heads as if puzzled.

‘Did the drug not work properly?’

‘Did he get nervous because of a stranger?’

But then, at that moment, Isaac reached out. Finally, the faces of the two adults brightened.

Yes, he’s going berserk!

Finally going berserk…

…

“Dayayaya.”

…Oh man, why isn’t he doing it?

They looked at Isaac in confusion, but Isaac just grinned.

“Dadya (I don’t know anything)?”

He even pretended to be good. Faced with the unfamiliar sight of Isaac’s angelic demeanor, Lilai couldn’t help but feel flustered as a guardian.

“Isaac?”

“Daya (What’s up)?”

“Don’t be nervous. Just do as always.”

“Daya (What’s ‘as always,’ you damn punk)?”

Isaac’s eyes momentarily returned to normal, but soon he smiled like an angel, as if to say, ‘When was I ever normal?’

“Didyaya (I like Priest Elden)!”

He even embraced Elden. Lilai and the attendants who followed him were noticeably shocked at the sight.

What’s going on?

Why isn’t he going berserk?

Skeleton King’s magic power! What’s happening?

‘You hate priests the most. What are you waiting for? Cause a ruckus!’

Even the Holy Spirit inside Isaac, overwhelmed by betrayal, couldn’t contain itself.

-Hey, kid! What are you doing? Kill that guy like you usually do! Get rid of that priest guy!

Isaac looked at the Holy Spirit disapprovingly. This spirit sometimes seemed to forget that it belonged to the holy faction.

And somehow, it seemed to equate Skeleton King’s magic power with Isaac.

‘No, of course, it’s because the power’s owner is the same.’

Isaac glanced at the Holy Spirit for a moment, but the spirit was in an uproar.

-Hey, kid! He’s not purifying, so deal with him quickly! Get rid of him!

Yeah, get rid of him.

Not me, but you.

At that moment, Isaac chuckled. As he moved away from Elden, who looked puzzled, Isaac skipped happily out of the room.

“Hey, Isaac! Where are you going?”

Lilai quickly chased after Isaac. Elden, watching Isaac’s direction, smiled brightly.

“Daya!”

“Huh? Young Master Isaac?”

In the direction Isaac ran towards, nanny Asili was there. But Elden smiled because of the item Asili was holding.

A handkerchief.

It was filled with the purification herb he had brought and left at the entrance of the Eastern Castle.

And Elden already knew that the only servant wandering around this mansion was Asili. If she saw something like that lying at the entrance of her master, she would naturally pick it up.

Of course, whether she threw it away or went to find her master, Elden didn’t care.

“There was something like this lying around. Is it not your guest’s?”

What mattered was that the herb had been picked up by that servant, and—

“Daya!!”

“Huh? Why is the young master trying to snatch it like this? Shall I hold you?”

Touching the child directly meant influencing the Holy Spirit directly connected to Isaac.

As Asili approached with her hand, the moment Isaac was hugged by her.

Flash!

-…Cough!

The Holy Spirit that had been chasing them suddenly fell to the ground, as if it had fainted.

“Froggy!”

Both Asili and Lilai were greatly surprised. And feeling the weakened power of the Holy Spirit, Isaac released the magic power of the Skeleton King.

Thump!

“Isaac!”

The black magic power emanating from Isaac’s body covered the entire room.

It was surprising that they didn’t lose consciousness. The power was so toxic. Even their vision was blocked, and they couldn’t see anything.

Whisper wailed with delight.

[Haha! As expected of the Master! I thought you weakened your temper and strength by being among the priests! Quickly kill him, that priest guy!]

Don’t kill him. I’m going to do something better.

And since this will be my home, I shouldn’t destroy everything, so I just brought out a bit.

[Huh? Master looked at that priest as if he was going to kill him, so I thought you would use him as fertilizer!]

No? The reason I looked at that guy so provocatively was because of the smell he’s emitting.

[Smell?]

‘He has the .’

[Huh? Isn’t that weed the one that neutralizes the power of the Holy Spirits?!]

Yes. I specially developed it when I was a skeleton.
