NOVEL NEXT Chapter 47.2
Since he made it when he was a skeleton, this was the first time he smelled it, but all objects emit waves of power.
Humans can only see it after training, but Isaac was a demon. He could see the wave of power like breathing, a power wave that could be seen at a glance.
During his time as a skeleton, he didn’t have the five senses, so he used that to grasp things.
[But isn’t that weed supposed to be a new variety that Master specifically planted in the Demon King’s farm? It looks like a vintage weed just like Master’s.]
This guy talks too much.
Well, it was created long ago to catch the Holy Spirits. Anyway, it’s a new variety that only Isaac would know about.
But why would a priest bring that? By chance?
No, that’s impossible.
‘The equipment that guy is carrying.’
When he purposely touched it, it became even more certain.
Necklaces, bracelets, wherever you look, aren’t these fire-resistant items? And on top of the Dead Weed that neutralizes the Holy Spirits?
This, even if the intention is to bluff, isn’t it too much of a bluff?
‘You bastard, are you here to kidnap my Holy Spirit?’
So Isaac became even more enraged. He was curious about where he got the herb that couldn’t be easily obtained, but it wasn’t important now.
‘Dare to target someone else’s Holy Spirit?’
The guy who obtained it to reach the Transcendent Realm! Originally, he had planned to destroy the mansion and turn it into rubble, making the priest a target for rescue.
But handling it this way would be neater.
Sure enough, the Holy Spirit, seemingly unconscious, started going berserk.
Bang!
A powerful flame, losing its will, spread in all directions.
Elden’s eyes flashed as if he had been waiting.
‘The Holy Spirit’s power has run wild!’
The spirit, losing consciousness, was easy to catch.
And the troublemakers? No problem.
The Holy Spirit that appeared in Eshua was already known to be holding onto the Skeleton King’s magic power.
And the fact that the Holy Spirit’s power was going berserk meant that the controlled Skeleton King’s magic power was also coming out!
Thump!
People were breathless in the rising black magic power.
The power that had been emitting for ten years seemed like a joke; the emanating power enveloped the entire castle mercilessly.
Lilai frowned at the intensity of the power.
“Ugh…!”
Having been by Isaac’s side longer than anyone for ten years, Lilai had lived through and seen the Skeleton King’s aura. He thought he could suppress the actual Skeleton King to some extent, given his growth.
‘Is it impossible?’
But the bigger problem wasn’t that.
Bang!
“Shha!”
The problem was that the Holy Spirit, losing consciousness and going berserk, was on the rampage.
Normally, because of reason, he was able to control his great power. But the moment it lost consciousness, the king-level power it was controlling burst outward.
The uncontrolled Holy Spirit’s eyes were glowing, and its small human-like body itself was transforming into flames.
Crack!
It was like a demon.
Lilai quickly activated the Sealing sacred technique.
‘If it continues like this, it won’t end with just the Duke’s castle flying!’
As if oil was poured into the fire when the opposing forces of the Anti-Magic fire and the Skeleton King’s magic power clashed, it was beyond chaos.
At that moment, feeling a powerful force, the door of the Eastern Castle opened.
“Lilai! What’s going on, this!”
“Elden!”
“Why is the Skeleton King’s magic power… Cough! What is this again!”
“Holy Spirit!”
The elders and scholars who rushed in were terrified at the sight of the raging Holy Spirit. The heat that felt like flesh was being torn apart was the least of their worries.
“Darn it, why is the Holy Spirit…!”
“First, we have to restore the spirit to its original state! Then we can suppress the Skeleton King’s magic power!”
The only one who could suppress the Skeleton King’s magic power, reacting to the anti-magic fire, was the Holy Spirit.
So the spirit had to be subdued…
Bang!
“Cough!”
“Elder!”
It was difficult to subdue the raging king-level Holy Spirit. Not only was it already strong, but in its current state, mixed with the power of the Skeleton King, it became even stronger.
The elders who were coughing up blood urgently shouted.
“Bring the Master! We need him urgently!”
“Sorry, priests, please stay quiet!”
As the confusion of Eshua’s people continued, Elden smiled.
‘Good, it’s time.’
Elden immediately chanted the sacred technique to neutralize the Holy Spirit.
Slash!
A vivid red holy power burst into the spirit. And in this gap, Elden intended to summon a counter-summoning spell to steal away the Holy Spirit…
“Cough!”
The flames of the Holy Spirit, that deflected the Painful spell, attacked Elden.
“Kwaaak!”
“Is this scream from Priest Elden?”
“No, you crazy guy, I told you to stay still! Why don’t you listen to me!”
Could it be that he was hit by the Skeleton King’s magic or the Holy Spirit’s power?
“Bring the Master! We still have a long way to go!”
“Daya.”
“If it’s not the Master or the Holy Spirit, nothing can suppress the Skeleton King’s magic power… Huh?”
The expressions of the elders and scholars who could see magic power became strange.
It wasn’t something else. The magic power was gradually decreasing. Moreover, it was being absorbed into Isaac’s body.
‘What is this? Is it an illusion?’
Whoosh!
Wait, no. It’s not an illusion?
Whoosh-whoosh!
It’s really going back into Isaac’s body?!
“That’s not a sealing sacred technique!”
“No way, is Isaac controlling the Skeleton King’s magic power with his own holy power?!”
Not only that.
“Now, stop spreading it.”
Isaac clenched his small hand. At that moment, something amazing happened.
-Heuk!
The Holy Spirit, which had lost consciousness and was destroying everything, regained consciousness. When Isaac injected powerful holy power into the connected Holy Spirit, it regained its senses.
The scholars and elders could only open their mouths. Unbelievably, Isaac, using his holy power, suppressed the Skeleton King’s magic power and even restored the Holy Spirit!
“Is it possible that Isaac…!”
“Lilai!”
“Yes! That’s correct!”
“That’s right, did you see that? Isaac!”
“Isaac spoke!”
Huh?
The elder squinted his eyes. However, Lilai looked at Isaac as if crying.
“Our child is finally speaking! He, who could only babble for ten years!”
Wait a minute, you punk.
Is that so important right now?
A 10-year-old kid now, on his own, sealed the Skeleton King’s magic power and even controlled a king-level Holy Spirit?
Isn’t this abnormal?
“Lilai, it’s…”
“Oh, yes. I’m sorry, elder. I misspoke.”
“Is that so? What’s important is not language development but…”
“Isaac! Our child is walking now! He’s walking!”
“…?”
“???”
What the hell, man?!
The elders looked at him as if bewildered, but Lilai, looking at Isaac walking on two legs, not four, blocked his mouth. He was on his knees, ready to burst into tears.
“Isaac, finally! Finally, after ten years, he’s walking on two legs! Elders, I’m so shocked right now that my heart might stop.”
The elders broke into a cold sweat.
No, you crazy idiot!
Is that what will make your heart stop?!
“Ah. Scholars! Anyway, Isaac saved a Holy Spirit… and a person. Can we get a priest’s recommendation for our nephew?”
Hey, wait a minute. Is the recommendation letter the problem now?
This crazy guy changed the succession position that the Duke had given up, and who knows if it will change the future of the Empire?!
