I’m Going to Destroy this Country

“…The Skeleton King has appeared again in the world!”

“Didn’t he disappear after casting a curse in Eshua 70 years ago…?”

No, he didn’t cast a curse.

“After losing to the gods 150 years ago, he escaped like a rat with only his soul intact.”

No, he didn’t lose!

“It’s said that he fought the gods to devour the divine realm.”

He won’t eat such a stinking divine realm!

“Has he finally accumulated power and come back!”

No, he’s not! That guy is just a fake!!!

Isaac, trapped under the building, wiggled his fingers.

[Master, are you okay? You were hit, but you’re miraculously alive.]

“…”

[Considering Eshua lineage, your body seems to be at the level of a monster. Just some scratches even after taking that hit. I’ll keep it in mind for future battles.]

…Those Eshua guys. I’ll definitely kill them all.

At that moment, Lilai hurriedly approached Isaac.

“Isaac, are you okay?”

Does it look okay to your eyes, you brat?

Shuri, looking surprised, approached with his classmates.

“Really, even though you’re from Eshua, how can you be fine after taking that hit?”

Not fine, you know? I feel like my consciousness is about to snap from the holy power.

“I heard you’re a Saint candidate! Your body is strong.”

“At this level, we might not need to hire the paladin guards employed by the priests.”

“Indeed, a Saint…! Should we get your autograph in advance?”

“Do we even need to call a doctor…?”

“That’s right. He’s a Saint, after all.”

Damn it! I’ll just kill all the priests!

“Yes, Isaac! The training from your uncle has paid off. It’s assistance for advanced training. Let’s break the Skeleton King’s head together!”

First, let’s break your head!

However, at Lilai’s words, other students looked at Isaac with surprised eyes.

“Didn’t the Skeleton King die from an attack by the Blue Cardinal?”

“He disappeared…!”

“There’s no way he died from that. That wasn’t the real Skeleton King.”

What?!

Everyone looked at Isaac in surprise, but Isaac, in return, laughed angrily.

Yeah. The Skeleton that just appeared was a clone. An illusion created with magical power. Isaac was trying to figure out where it came from.

‘Of course, it’s not entirely an illusion.’

Somewhere, the Skeleton King’s main body exists, and it was replicated like a shadow and sent here.

Not to mention the magical power that was being used.

‘My magical power.’

There was no doubt.

‘I wonder if my magical core also fell somewhere?’

Well, considering that even the physical body was stored in the Saintess’s Treasury, it wasn’t impossible for the magical core to be missing. Of course, it may have some flaws compared to its original state, as it self-destructed.

Anyway, it became certain that there was an imposter of the Skeleton King somewhere.

And most importantly, an imposter of the great king?

Even in the demon world, would they tolerate an imposter who committed such a major crime? Moreover, just looking at him, it seemed like that guy cursed Isaac.

‘But if he has my magical core, it’s a two-birds-one-stone situation.’

Isaac’s eyes flashed fiercely.

Lilai’s eyes also gleamed.

“In that sense, it was too much. Even though you knew from the beginning that it was an illusion, why use such aggressive sacred techniques? What were you trying to accomplish by risking Isaac getting hurt?”

Lilai said a word, but the head of the Blue family coughed.

“I warned you. To dare to aim for the ordination ceremony.”

Elai frowned and looked at the head of the table. He seemed to have thrown a big holy spell in anger, but the reality was different.

The head of the Blue family saw it clearly.

The Pope gestured towards the Skeleton King holding Isaac.

‘It’s certain. He even tried to kill Isaac along with the illusion.’

The head of the Blue family hit them not because he just accepted Isaac as a ‘Saint’ believing the words of the Skeleton King. It was all to concentrate everyone’s attention so that the Pope couldn’t make a futile move.

So, it was even stranger.

‘It can’t possibly be just because the Skeleton King called Isaac a Saint.’

What on earth came out of the bowl?

Anyway, unable to let his grandson die, he took the initiative, and that was a significant move.

Other Cardinals, knowing that the opponent was an illusion, moved aggressively, partly for the sake of showing off, but also because the existence of the Skeleton King was threatening.

And the candidates for Saints, although they expected something big to happen this year when they became priests.

‘I never thought he’d show up on Isaac’s turn.’

It was surprising enough that his grandson suddenly grew and appeared, and it was almost shocking.

Anyway, that wasn’t the important part.

‘I probably found the grandson too. Anyway, I’ll take that guy first.’

For some reason, the Pope tried to deal with Isaac.

‘Perhaps, did he glimpse at his faith?’

So, maybe he suspected that Isaac summoned the Skeleton King?

Well, even if that’s the case, it wouldn’t be enough reason for the Pope to kill the child. The important thing was that Isaac’s existence disturbed the eyes of the Pope’s family.

So, even if it was beyond the reach of the power of the Pope’s family, it was best to confine Isaac to Eshua’s territory, not a place where the power of the Papacy could reach.

Anyway, confine him and start moral education based on Saint education!

“Isaac, come here. Your grandfather will give you a reward.”

As the family head gestured, Isaac slipped behind.

Damn, what’s with that face that looks like he’s going to treat him to pork cutlets and take him to the dentist?

But the head of the Blue family wouldn’t just step aside quietly.

“Our grandson has overcome the Skeleton King’s curse and grown up so beautifully. Your grandfather will treat you to delicious sweets.”

This brat, is he really going to pull out his teeth!

But a voice of salvation reached Isaac.

“I don’t think he should go back.”

“!”

The savior was none other than Kina Berit.

The head of the Blue family looked at Kina as if to ask why he was interfering, but Kina Berit pointed outside the banquet hall.

Outside the banquet hall, there was the magical power of the Skeleton King, which was thought to have disappeared. And magical beasts began to emerge from the magical power.

“If those guys are aiming for the Saint, the Saint candidates should handle it properly.”

The head of the Blue family narrowed his eyes.

This guy…?

But Kina looked at Isaac. The reason he was coming out like this was not for any other reason.

-He said that to Blue’s youngest, right?

-Oh, he said he was waiting for this Saint.

-Just because he kidnapped Blue’s youngest son and said that. He is a guy on the level of the Skeleton King, did he say such things without any basis?

-Even if there is no basis, he caught the most outstanding one among them, right?

-Hey, why bother with the nonsense that the unidentified demon is babbling about! Put up the barrier properly!

As a Pope’s grandson, the words of the priests were inevitably annoying. So, there was no choice but to confirm who the real Saint was.

Whisper, who had sensed the plans of the head and Kina Berit, also spoke.

[Master, what should we do? Shall I kill them both?!]

‘No.’

There’s a better way.

Isaac smiled and pulled out something.
