I’m Going to Destroy this Country

Well, if the way back requires more holy power than magic power, then there would need to be an unimaginable amount of holy power.

Getting that much holy power would be quite a task.

‘Guess I should say I was lucky that Melissa gave me the Rosario at the right time.’

With this level of sacred relic, it should be enough to suppress the curse.

Of course, it’s quite a waste. Even though Melissa’s power is contained in the Rosario, it’s not unlimited.

If used to suppress this, the power contained in the Rosario would eventually run out.

And above all, there was an issue of affinity.

[Aren’t the Saint’s sacred powers inherently the power to kill demons…?]

Whisper was unusually scared.

Well, it would be terrifying to force-feed the power of someone like Melissa directly into his mouth.

[…Aren’t I the one who dies first before the Master in that case?]

Then should I die first?

Of course, Isaac didn’t want that either.

Perhaps it might weaken the Skeleton King’s magic power.

In other words, it was a powerful ability and became a great power when Isaac used sacred technique, but using it directly on his own magic power meant there was a significant risk.

But in the current situation, the only way to bring in a much stronger holy power…

It was when Isaac was wrapping his hand with a bandage.

“Isaac! What are you doing!”

“!!”

Opening the door with a bang, Shuri appeared.

A startled Isaac quickly hid his hand.

“What’s wrong with you? Why are your hands like this?”

Isaac looked unusually flustered.

No matter how much of a fool Eshua’s guys were, there was no way they wouldn’t recognize this.

Once it enters the ears of the Blue family, the game is over. The voice of Isaac, retreating behind, had to stiffen.

“Ah, it’s nothing.”

“Why are you stuttering so uncharacteristically… Did you get hurt? Why are your hands wrapped like this… Ugh!!”

Shuri, who was touching Isaac’s hand lightly, recoiled in horror. He didn’t see his hand, but the feeling at the fingertips!

‘Bones?’

Shuri looked at Isaac, his face turning pale.

A young face with a sense of betrayal.

Even a betrayed expression on his young face.

“Bones, bones, you say bones. Wha, could it be you…”

“!”

Isaac paled as if it was a disaster.

Whisper also screeched and screamed.

[Memory erasure magic…!! No, since you can’t use it yet, let’s do it in the traditional demon way here!]

What’s the traditional way!

[I will smash his head!]

You damn bastard, that means my head will be smashed too!

Damn it, what should he do? Should he really beat him up? Forcefully make him lose memories?

Shuri grabbed Isaac firmly with a sharp look.

“Isaac, you!”

Damn it, look at his eyes! This bastard noticed it too!

“Don’t tell me your body has started to decay due to the Skeleton King’s curse?!”

Yeah! Look! Se noticed…

“…?”

Hey, what?

“It’s decaying, isn’t it, right?!”

Decaying?

Why did he come to that conclusion…?

But with an expression of betrayal, Shuri shook Isaac with a face full of resentment.

“You, wasn’t it a flaw in your character?!”

Character… what, man?

“Oh my God, Isaac’s flaw was not his character but his flesh!”

I was wondering what the heck this guy was babbling about, but Isaac soon sighed.

“Oh, I see.”

‘The flaws of those Eshua men.’

Eshua’s boys were either nothing or worse. They either lacked talent to a fatal extent, or if they had talent, it came with flaws.

And those flaws were either physical or moral.

Sure enough.

“Was your rotten character causing your body to ache?”

Man, what the hell?

“Eshua was a genius among adults, but I saw him die with a body so rotten. Even our third uncle is not in good health now…!”

Shuri trembled as if seeing a terminally ill patient. He seemed unable to endure the overwhelming sense of betrayal.

“Despite what anyone says, I naturally thought you were on the side of moral decay! Why does someone with moral decay like you have such an incurable disease!”

Why does this guy keep going on about moral decay?

“I thought you had a broken personality, no matter what anyone said! Why would someone with a broken personality like you have such an incurable disease?”

This guy keeps blabbering about his character?

Isaac’s face twitched at the words that were either concern or a joke, but when it reached that point, Isaac rolled his eyes.

It was strangely relieving, but is this really okay…?

Anyway, this guy, he thought Isaac had a terminally ill disease, not a trait of the Skeleton King, right? Right?

Thinking that way, Isaac lay down on the spot.

“That’s right, brother! My hand suddenly hurt a lot, so when I came into the room, my body started to decay! I’m scared!”

Actually, it’s not decaying, but turning into bones, but that’s a secret. Even if it’s turning into bones, it’s too conspicuous, as it’s the unique ability of the Skeleton King called ⸢Reversal of Life and Death⸥, famous enough to appear in the textbooks of academies on any continent.

Isaac trembled like a frightened child, wrapping the bandages more tightly.

“What should I do, brother? Am I going to die like this?”

Even though he became human, he might not have learned how to shed tears yet.

“Am I going to be dragged away by the inquisitor because I’m cursed now? Surely not, right?”

“…!”

Shuri, who was about to say something, flinched.

No. The possibility of that was high.

There was once an adult in Eshua whose body decayed, and the Red Faith treated him like a contagious disease patient and eventually took him to prison.

‘Damn it, grandfather thought Isaac was more flawed in his character, so he was relieved.’

Yeah, come to think of it, they should have known something was off.

The kid ate the bone of the Skeleton King and suddenly grew up like that, but there was no way there was nothing wrong with his body.

“F-First we need to inform grandfather and start with treatment…”

Snap!

Isaac firmly grabbed Shuri’s arm.

The words ‘If you speak, you’re dead’ almost slipped out, but Isaac pretended to be barely breathing.

It’s fortunate that this guy is a kind person from Eshua, but adults, unlike children, quickly catch on.

“Don’t tell grandfather and uncles…! Only you know. I don’t want to cause any worries!”

“…!”

Shuri seemed surprised.

He knew better than anyone that grandfather secretly cherished Isaac. The same goes for other people from Eshua.

Being a terminally ill patient, the shock they will receive won’t be insignificant.

“B-But…”

“Besides, if I’m exposed, what about the Pentagon? As a person of the Blue, I also want to execute at least the Skeleton King’s subordinates before I die.”

“Isaac…!”

This kid was really sincere about the mission of the Blue.

Yeah. No matter what anyone says, the essence of the Blue is an unwavering heart, righteous anger, and exorcism.

This kid was closer to the essence of the Blue than anyone else. To think of such a guy as having a character flaw?

“Damn, cursed Skeleton King! That filthy and disgusting bastard… Cough!”

Shuri, who was cursing the Skeleton King, received a blow from Isaac.

“Ah, Isaac?”

Isaac, who unintentionally threw a punch, realized it but awkwardly smiled.

“Uh… Well, blaming others won’t change anything. Let’s engage in more productive activities.”

“!”

“Also, don’t worry, bro. I don’t intend to die easily. There might be some ways.”

“Ways? Is there a way?”

“I’ll have to try, but probably it will work. So, bro, listen carefully to what I’m going to say from now on. I have a favor to ask. Keep it from others…”

“Yeah, damn it, if this is exposed to the inquisitors, it’s over! Isaac! I’ll help you, don’t die!”

Shuri, with tears in his eyes, grabbed Isaac’s arm tightly, Isaac raised the corner of his mouth with a smirk.

Caught you, you scoundrel.

“In that sense, gather the members of the Blue team.”

And.

“There’s something I need to convey to the Red Cardinal.”

Shuri, who was comforting his younger brother, suddenly looked at Isaac in surprise.

…Why did he become like that all of a sudden?
