I’m Going to Destroy this Country

Isn’t this too harsh?

Shuri was at a loss for words as he looked at priest Elden, who couldn’t even get up.

Shuri was outstanding enough to become the academy’s best graduate. And looking at it through his eyes, at least 20 weeks had passed when he saw that.

Well, if he received treatment from the Papacy, it would probably be reduced to about 5 weeks… And, in fact, it was fortunate that the explosion had ended like that.

If Isaac hadn’t stopped the Holy Spirit’s rampage, the damage would have been even greater.

‘Professor Elden seems to have brought this upon himself…’

It made sense. Shuri clearly saw it. While everyone else was trying to block the Skeleton King’s magic power, only priest Elden approached the Holy Spirit.

And using the sacred technique against the Holy Spirit, he ended up being counterattacked and in that state.

But the real problem was that the counterattack wasn’t the Holy Spirit’s doing!

As Shuri moaned, his eyes turned to Isaac.

‘It’s certain. That brat used the Reflective sacred technique!’

Right! It may seem like the Holy Spirit’s doing, but Shuri couldn’t have missed Isaac’s actions!

Why?

Why, you ask! From the beginning, Isaac brought him here under the pretext of a rescue operation in this reception room… damn it, whatever, he expected him to do something!

‘…Wasn’t the original plan to break the mansion?’

And so he would have rescued them by evacuating them safely.

But as he kept watching, what the hell happened?

He attacked professor Elden with the reflective sacred technique?

‘No, well… it’s suspicious that the Professor tried to use the painful sacred technique on the Holy Spirit.’

He was a professor who was interested enough in the Holy Spirit to teach about it. Thinking that he would just stand by quietly in front of a king-level Holy Spirit… honestly, he didn’t care.

But by now, he started to think.

‘This bastard, did he plan to eliminate the approver after all?!’

Wasn’t it a lie from the beginning that they were going to rescue them?!

But Isaac couldn’t help it.

‘How dare you try to steal my Holy Spirit?’

Did he know how hard Isaac had been holding onto it for ten years?

Indeed, the Holy Spirit was the one who tried to escape.

Ten years ago, when Lilai, shocked by the words that the Skeleton King’s magic power couldn’t be purified, pleaded with dirty knees, he ignored it.

-The child is only one year old. Please, even if it’s just a few more years, let him live a little longer!

-The connection with the five major families has already been severed. If I just stay still, this suckling will die on its own, and I will be free. Why should I?

But how did he catch such a guy?

Boom!

-Master! Due to the power of the Holy Spirit, the roofs of the eastern castle and the temple have flown away!

-Yeah. It came off very cool.

-Oh, no! Elai?

-Seek compensation for damages.

-No, wait! Wait! The one who destroyed it is this brat! The Skeleton King’s magic power stimulated my power!

-What’s done is done. The temple is the house of God, and if we give a word to God, that’s enough for us. You dared to destroy God’s temple. Lightning of punishment will soon fall on the Holy Spirit Realm.

-What?!

-Oh, the innocent Holy Spirits will be hurt. It hurts my heart terribly.

-Hey!

-If you don’t like it, we can settle it by purifying my grandson.

-You son of a bitch!

Well, even Isaac applauded the personality of the family head who spoke with an expression that wasn’t sorry at all.

Anyway, each time he tried to escape, he destroyed important facilities of Eshua!

He didn’t even let him sleep and made him work for 72 hours straight!

Anyway, he held him for ten years to the point where he would do anything to escape, but how dare this old man try to steal his purificator for the transcendent level?!

Isaac toddled casually towards the Holy Spirit.

His legs were short, so the form wasn’t that great, but well, it was fine.

Now, goodbye to this annoying suckling’s body. Tomorrow, he’ll instantly grow this annoying thing into a mature body, so it doesn’t matter.

He looked at the Holy Spirit.

“Do you have a conscience?”

-Why am I…

“A strange thing entered your body. I pushed it out with my power.”

At those words, the Holy Spirit immediately understood the situation. His flashing eyes could only turn towards someone trying to escape.

-That son of a bitch from the Papacy!

“Heuk!”

The Holy Spirit with murderous intent appeared in front of Elden, who was trying to escape.

-You, the damn bastard, played a trick on me.

“W-What are you talking about?”

-Don’t play tricks. What are those things you’re carrying? Aren’t they fire resistant materials? I can smell the scent of the Gold Faith. Whose order did you receive?

-T-This is a misunderstanding. We heard rumors of a Holy Spirit of fire near the Eshua Duchy, so for the safety of our priests, we prepared countermeasures…”

The Holy Spirit raised its mouth as if it were disgusted.

-Sure. Let it be that way.

“Thank y-…”

-I’ll say it too. Command all the Holy Spirits of fire to cut off all ties with the priests of the Papacy from now on.

What?!

Not only Elden, but also the elders were astonished.

No, he’s the king of the Holy Spirits.

Sure, he has the power to command the spirits below. But how often are fire spirits used by priests?

There might be a riot in the Gold Faith.

Perplexed, Elden let out a forced laugh.

“Priests are beings who have made a contract with the gods. Especially if it’s the Papacy! The Holy Spirits bound by a contract with a god shouldn’t violate that rule…”

-It doesn’t matter, does it? It’s been a long time since I broke up with the gods. I’m not affected by those rules.

“…?!”

-Well, don’t misunderstand. I’m only doing this as a precaution for the safety of our Holy Spirits. I understand how much you distrust us, going around with fire resistant materials, afraid of fire spirits.

Elden’s face turned pale. He realized that the situation was going in the wrong direction.

Looking at Elden’s arms, the Holy Spirit smiled mysteriously. Probably, he felt the aura of the Dead Weed.

-Well, if it was really a misunderstanding, I’ll cancel it, but it doesn’t seem likely. I’ll thoroughly investigate. Tell me what you were planning to do with me and this child.

The corners of Isaac’s mouth twitched as he heard those words.

Yes, you’re good at it.

You’re doing well, but that’s not what you need to do now, is it? Are you forgetting something?

Soon the Holy Spirit looked at Isaac.

-I never thought you would save me. You saved me with your holy power and even controlled the Skeleton King’s magic power. Normally, the contract would have ended at that point, but since you saved me, I will be by your side for some time and pay off the debt.

Isaac’s mouth curled up hearing the Holy Spirit’s words of gratitude.

Phew!

Yeah, that’s right! That’s it!

Everything as planned!

These stupid holy faction bastards should be like this!

‘Those stubborn idiots can’t stand any debt!’

Isaac had planned everything from the moment he felt the aura of the Dead Weed from Elden until this situation.

Get rid of the thorn in his eyes who dares to delay the recommendation letter, and make the Holy Spirit owe to him!

And he could try to be a little more greedy…

Isaac glanced at other scholars. They held onto whimpering Elden.

“Priest Elden, for now, I’ll take care of you. You go to the Papacy.”

“Yes. I need to inform the Papacy about this.”

Isaac’s lips twitched.

Did he have no conscience, delaying the recommendation letter even after everything?

It couldn’t be helped. The next target for the rescue are these guys…

“Let’s include young master Isaac’s recommendation letter. If he has such power, must be ordained a priest this year and receive a title from the Pope!”

“That’s right. I’ll ask someone above.”

Isaac’s eyes turned into a crescent moon.
