NOVEL NEXT Chapter 68.2
-Leia, this old lady… only once. There was a chance to kill the Skeleton King. It was a really great opportunity. I could have annihilated the Skeleton King. But I couldn’t kill him.
-Why?
-…Well, I guess. But God probably won’t forgive that.
Although the Madam swallowed the details, it must have been there. The reason why she couldn’t kill the Skeleton King.
In the end, Melissa gestured instead of answering.
Leia took out a box.
[Well, the reason I wanted to see Isaac today was because of this.]
Shuri could only open his mouth wide at the gift from Madam.
“Is this…!”
Even Isaac was surprised. Whisper shouted in shock.
[Isn’t this the Rosario of the Saintess!]
Yes, it was a symbol of the Saintess. An unparalleled item with an immeasurable value.
How did this kid…
However, the Madam seemed to have a lot on her mind.
It was inevitable because she read the movements of the demons using the Gold Pentagon.
‘Surely it was that demon.’
Fourteen years ago, when Lilai was an apprentice priest.
The demons that caused the worst casualties in the history of the Gold Pentagon. That demon, who had come as an exam site for apprentices, was moving.
Although there was a wanted poster even in the Holy Empire, they couldn’t catch the
Only apprentices who had just become priests were cornered and eaten by this villain. He was a vicious one..
It was clear that something would happen this year.
So, it was insurance.
[I heard that Isaac’s attack skills are weak. With the item containing my power, he should be able to use
No, you’re not needed, so go back.
[The remaining Pentagons cannot survive with purification magic alone. So use attack techniques instead.]
You little punk. Well, she did give him the most important thing when it mattered. Even though he had magic, it was one more hidden card.
‘Anyway, cancel what I said about the saint being useless…’
[I will visit Hella soon. If you go, I will definitely give you one-on-one the Skeleton King exorcism training.]
Still not needed!! Don’t ever come!!!
With that, the hologram of Melissa disappeared.
Shuri seemed to have received quite a useful spell book and stood up joyfully.
“Hey, it’s time for the visit to end. We should start heading back.”
Just as Isaac was about to stand up, unexpectedly, Leia called out to him.
“Isaac.”
“Huh?”
Leia looked towards Isaac’s chest with a somewhat sly expression.
The sharp gaze that day seemed unusual, and Isaac flinched. After all, Leia’s eyes were those of a Saint.
The eyes of a Saint were inherently sacred, piercing through and discerning. They were even examining Isaac’s heart.
Unexpectedly Leia asked.
“Do you have a magic core?”
At her words, Isaac’s face strangely stiffened.
Thump.
His heart thumped loudly.
A magic core? Could it be that he was exposed for creating his own magic core?
Even Whisper seemed bewildered.
[W-wait, did we get caught? Using magic?]
Until now, he hadn’t been caught by anyone, but Saints were different. Saints were more sensitive than anyone else when it came to the Skeleton King.
Maybe she even discerned his magic core. Since their souls were the same person, the scent of magic wouldn’t change.
And perhaps she discerned it because making a magic core in one’s body was an absolute taboo for priests. Anyone caught doing so would be sentenced to death.
Given these circumstances, Isaac’s gaze turned stern. Regardless of how Leia would react, it wasn’t a pleasant situation.
‘This fox, if I don’t deal with her now…’
“Why? Isn’t that the magic core that was in the annex?”
Isaac’s eyes widened.
…A-an annex?
However, Leia gestured playfully and pointed at Isaac’s chest pocket.
“You still have it in your pocket. The magic core.”
Isaac unconsciously groped his chest.
Ah, now that he thought about it, there was still one magic core that he hadn’t consumed.
‘What kind of magic core is it? I couldn’t eat it because it was sealed…’
No, damn it. He was so surprised!
It was the magic core that he kept holding onto because it was too precious. Among the magic cores in the annex, it was the most powerful item. At least a rank 9 or higher.
And he thought he could unlock once I received priestly ordination.
‘What is its identity that no one, not even Whisper, could analyze?’
But unexpectedly, Leia seemed to know a lot about this magic core. She looked at him as if she knew everything. She took off her necklace.
“The seal can probably be solved by this.”
“?!”
Isaac, bewildered, looked at Leia as if questioning her sanity.
Did she know about this thing? Even more, she was going to unseal it for him?
“Whether you can use it or not, I don’t know, but I see that you are also making an effort to revive the family vision.”
…The vision? What the hell?
‘Vision? This?’
However, Leia stood up from her seat.
“When your apprenticeship is over, come to me. I’ll give you an education.”
Shuri rushed over with an open mouth, as if he couldn’t believe Isaac was going to receive direct education from Leia.
“Wait, you’re going to get direct education from Lady Leia?! Damn, I envy you!”
At the same time Leia came out of the Blue dormitory, a knight greeted her. The knight was surprised when he saw that the necklace had disappeared from Leia’s neck.
“What did you do with the family heirloom?”
“I left it with my youngest.”
The knight’s expression became even more surprised.
“Are you okay with that? That’s the heirloom that can find the vision of Eshua. So, didn’t the head of the family pass it to Lady Leia?”
There’s no way he wouldn’t know the meaning of that object.
“That’s an item that others in the direct line are coveting!”
“If it is taken away, then it is his skill.”
“If that person succeeds, he becomes the family head!”
Leia laughed softly.
“But we can’t let him go to the Pope’s house.”
“Lady Leia!”
She recalled Isaac’s words.
-I’ll get rid of the Saints.
She continued to savor her younger brother’s answer, which she found quite pleasing.
