NOVEL NEXT Chapter 55.1
What Isaac pulled out was none other than a cufflink ornament. A golden button with the emblem of the Papacy.
Whisper exclaimed in surprise.
[Isn’t that the dirty priest’s item! When did you get that!]
Isaac grinned.
This was the item of priest Elden, who had come to steal the king-level Holy Spirit. And why would this be in his possession?
[Did you steal it when you searched his belongings?]
Yes, exactly.
Honestly, the priest from the Papacy had eyed his own belongings. He may have thrown the stone into the lake without even looking at it, but the information he had was necessary.
‘Where did he get the Dead Weed?’
It was something planted in the Demon King’s farm.
Of course, getting it in the first place might be possible, but.
Some crazy priests entered a demon land where even entering was difficult, crawling into a ruin-like farm, defeating farmers who didn’t even have anything, and finally bringing back that weed-like grass by chance.
In the end, he accidentally mixed that weed with a certain oil and tested it on the Holy Spirit, and, wow, it was amazing! This grass had the effect of neutralizing the Holy Spirit! This is a great discovery!
Then there was nothing more to say, right?
‘Someone knew about the efficacy of that weed and gave it to him.’
In short, someone was distributing his belongings.
Anyway, this item was a sacred technique amplifier.
And how to avoid being dragged away by his grandfather?
Simple!
Just show off his outstanding abilities and people will think, ‘How can that person, isn’t he a Saint?! How can someone as talented as me be confined to Eshua’s territory?! Isn’t Eshua going too far?’
That should make those damn Eshua guys think twice before confining him to their territory again, right?
With this determination, Isaac walked towards the Skeleton King’s magical power.
Moreover, the imposter had already told who the Saint was. And this opportunity shouldn’t be wasted.
‘With this, I can easily deal with those guys.’
Actually, Isaac could use sacred techniques up to the 6th level, but his specialization was excessively skewed.
So what was his speciality?
Well, damn it, it was the Purification spell!
Whether it was because of the attached Holy Spirit or not, it was definitely the Purification!
‘So useless! Damn it!!’
What Isaac wanted was destruction! And more destruction!
An attack spell.
Anyway, with this item, the power of even trivial attack techniques will increase!
‘Now, go! Attack spell!’
Isaac attached the cuff buttons to his sleeves and activated the sacred technique.
At the same time, an intense light of holy power exploded around Isaac.
Flash!
The magical creatures touched by the intense light screamed as if they were about to be torn apart.
Everyone in the banquet hall, including the guests and priests, admired the dazzling light.
“Oh! Excellent power!”
“Incredible, at that age…!”
“Your Excellency, have you already taught your grandson such a powerful sacred technique?”
“No, I haven’t taught him…?”
When the head of the Blue family made a disgusted expression, the priests sprayed even more saliva.
“Is it self-taught?!”
“Incredible, we haven’t seen such a clean light in a hundred years!”
Terrifyingly, as soon as the light touched a place, the magic in that place completely vanished, and the clothes of the priests became clean. The Cardinals also looked surprised at their clothes, and the priests admired it.
“Indeed, an excellent
But Isaac, who had used an attack spell, felt that his blood pressure had risen.
‘Why again is it the Purification technique!’
Isaac looked annoyed and tried to throw away his cufflink buttons. Although the graduates of this year looked at him as if he was amazing, what did they know!
“My explosion! Why!”
Then Shuri, as if he had sensed something, raised one eyebrow.
He was the only one who knew that Isaac’s sacred technique was excessively skewed.
“…If you were trying to enhance the spell with that cufflink button, you got it wrong. It’s an item that enhances the sacred technique of your main specialty.”
“What?!”
And besides, wouldn’t that thing be useless to Isaac in the first place?
‘This guy has already surpassed Professor Elden.’
Professor Elden was a 5th rank priest. And those cufflinks amplified the 5th level sacred techniques
But others wouldn’t know that fact.
“Oh, young master Isaac can use 4th or 5th level sacred techniques!”
“Incredible! A newcomer priest, and even at the age of 10, already at that level!”
“Isn’t it usually 3rd rank?”
“I never thought that Blue would produce such a talented person!”
“Indeed, a Saint candidate!”
At those words, Shuri clicked his tongue.
Only 4th rank? Everyone would be astonished if they knew that the brat could use up to the 6th.
‘Well, that Purification sacred technique usually is about that level, so it’s reasonable to think that…’
However, as Shuri turned his head, he was taken aback. The color of the eyes of the small demons hit by Isaac’s Purification light changed to blue.
It was just a moment, but Shuri couldn’t help but be bewildered.
‘Soul transformation?’
No, that power has definitely surpassed the 6th rank…!
However, amidst the praise, Isaac himself cursed. It was because of the appearance of the demons hit by the Purification light.
-You stupid priest! Is this it?! Kuek! Is this all you can do?! Kuek!
-This won’t! Kuek! Kill us! Kuek!
“…”
Purification lacked attack power, but it caused significant damage to demons. Since
In other words, by forcibly converting magic into holiness, it caused damage to demons.
The problem was that it was a concept of ‘dot’ damage that took time.
-Try more! Kuek! Stupid priest! Kuek!
-People like you! Kuek! Can’t withstand the greatness of the Skeleton King! Kuek!
‘Should I just use magic on these guys?’
Isaac’s fingers trembled.
The demons, gradually suffering from dot damage, began to gather and increase their size.
“Move. Your sacred technique can’t handle those.”
“!”
Kina Berit appeared in front of Isaac.
It seemed like he was trying to gauge Isaac’s current abilities.
And he probably reached a judgment.
“Looking at the 5th level? It seems you haven’t learned Eshua’s vision yet.”
Honestly, Kina was interested.
There were moments shown ten years ago at the Treasure Vault, not to mention suppressing the curse of the Skeleton King and growing his body?
It was naturally expected since it was something that couldn’t be done with ordinary skills.
And after observing carefully.
‘5th rank.’
If he reached the 5th rank at the age of 10, that was already impressive.
It wasn’t just any genius that came out once in a few hundred years.
‘But he’s still not my opponent.’
Kina Berit’s gaze, somewhat disappointed, coldly sank as if he was disappointed.
When Kina Berit reached the 5th rank, he was only 5 years old. Now he was already being deployed in practical situations as an advanced priest and was being treated like a future Pope, teacher, or professor by other advanced priests.
Now, his starting line, the running line, and the end were all different from those guys who had just received the priesthood.
He wasn’t just not associating with other Saint candidates for no reason. There was a difference in level!
-Still, it’s a bit pitiful. With my power, I’d become lonely instead.
Of course, he had some expectations that Isaac might become his opponent, but originally, that was the case.
The position of a Saint.
In other words, the ‘throne’ was predetermined from the beginning.
Thinking so, Kina Berit clicked his tongue while looking at the demons.
“That tough guy can’t be dealt with by Purification alone. You have to concentrate attacks on multiple places at the same time.”
Kina Berit tried to blow away the opponent with a destructive sacred technique.
However, unexpectedly, Isaac burst into laughter with a ‘Pfft!’
“Concentrate attacks on multiple places, hoo, like this?”
“…?”
“Are you an idiot? Since I’m making false attacks, it probably feels tough.”
“…??”
False attacks?
With a rather disappointed look, Kina Berit scrutinized Isaac from top to bottom.
“Don’t you know what those demons are in Eshua, or did you not learn about exorcism that dispels magic?”
It meant that he hadn’t come up with the theme of exorcising spells.
“Those are Rolly-Polly Dusters. Since they’re tenacious demons with strong regenerative abilities, you have to deal with them with a power that surpasses their regenerative abilities…”
“Pfft!”
“??”
Kina glared at Isaac as if asking why this crazy guy was acting like this.
However, Isaac couldn’t contain his laughter.
Kina, this lunatic.
Well, fine. Anyway, that thing isn’t even a living being, and it won’t be good if the damage increases, so this old man will probably tell him the answer.
Thinking that, Isaac approached Kina and whispered.
“Kid, take a good look. That’s not its main body. It’s a decoy.”
“What?”
“Yeah… So, what was it? If you attack multiple places simultaneously, it falls down? Damn, if it falls, it will have already achieved its goals and disappear.”
“What?!”
“And the real purpose of that guy is…”
Isaac subtly pointed towards the wall. Something patterned like a shadow was visible on the true wall.
