NOVEL NEXT Chapter 85.2
But then it happened. A team member who was in charge of organizing things rushed over with something in a hurry.
“Big trouble! There’s a cursed item in Isaac’s bag!”
Of course, Isaac and the team were surprised when they saw the object.
“A bird?”
“It seems like there’s blood on it. Is it dead?”
But Isaac’s gaze changed when he saw the bird.
‘This bastard.’
On the other hand, Shuri bit people as if telling them not to approach.
“I don’t know who put a dead bird in there to curse. We need to investigate it thoroughly…”
“It’s fine, just give it to me. Kim Shuri, listen to what I say.”
“What? Wait a minute…!”
Isaac drove all the team members away and lifted the bird menacingly.
“Get up. Before I pick off your head and roast it.”
[Eek!!]
The bird, which was thought to be dead, was startled and got up.
Yeah, it was pretending to be dozing off.
“Why did a low-level demon like you come into my bag so recklessly?”
When Isaac tried to strike the bird down with his rattle, the bird screamed.
[Damn! Even the Blood Spider is going too far. Sending me to such a vicious priest!]
The unexpected name made Isaac’s eyes widen.
Blood Spider, huh.
“Hey, could it be that you were sent by Fourteen Demons?”
* * *
Isaac couldn’t not know the guy named Blood Spider.
Why?
Because he was now trapped in the prison of the Papacy, and the guy that Isaac was trying to save!
And the guy brought unexpected information.
[Geugha! You damn Saint! Why don’t you put away your weapon?! Damn it, who do you think you are! Did he send me even though he’s in prison!]
It seemed that the subordinate, who was thought to be trapped, somehow managed to contact Isaac after hearing the news.
This shivering lower demon had probably gotten in touch through his connections.
And just in case, he seemed to have hidden the information that he was the Skeleton King.
“What information did you bring?”
[Oh, oh! What kind of information can I give to a damn priest…!]
As Isaac choked the bird, the sparrow wailed and spoke:
[Sorry. I’m sorry! Do you know what kind of person the guy who you’re going to catch is? What he has done, and what…]
“I don’t care about that.”
After all, they were all under the demon’s command.
[Oh! The opponent is that terrifying Ash! You know about the ordination ceremony you guys suffered this time, right? She’s the mastermind who messed it up!]
“Mastermind? The one who sent a fake Skeleton King?”
[That’s right! Smuggling magical tools, creating a clone of the Skeleton King, messing up the ordination ceremony, and ordering the killing of the Saint!]
Isaac burst into laughter.
Aha.
Oh, so it was her?
The guy who boldly displayed the fake Skeleton King at the ordination ceremony, sent in demons, and nearly got Isaac killed by his grandfather?
The sparrow conveyed even more intriguing information.
[Anyway, she is said to be capable of consuming the Skeleton King’s power and breaking through the barrier of the Holy Empire. Even if she dies at the execution ceremony, Ash, the demon who ate the power of the Skeleton King, should never be underestimated…! Hey! Why would this guy send valuable demon information to such a priest…!]
“Ho. She ate the power of the Skeleton King? Did the Skeleton King really gave her his power?”
At Isaac’s words, the sparrow immediately widened its eyes.
[Incredible! How dare you not call her the Skeleton King! And that fake Skeleton King… Grr. No, she’s fake!]
“Oh? Why?”
[Because she doesn’t have the aura of our great Skeleton King!]
“Oh?”
[But that’s just a guess from the imprisoned Blood Spider.]
Well, it’s not a guess, but a certainty.
The real one is right here.
[Ugh, he opposed the system by calling her fake and got caught by humans. Anyway, I don’t know who you are, but even if the Skeleton King is fake, be careful. Even though the Skeleton King is fake, the power Ash gained is real.]
Hmm, understood.
So maybe Isaac didn’t know that his power was still lingering in the demon faction. After self-destructing in the divine realm, there might be remnants left.
And who knows if it’s all or not.
[Anyway, you. You’re the kid who ate the body of our great Skeleton King, right? Now that Ash has had a taste of the Skeleton King’s power, she’s going to be targeting you like crazy, right? Even now, Ash is lying low and waiting for you to come to Krasandia! So if you value your life, don’t go there!]
“Got it, understood.”
[If you understand… Ugh! What are you doing! Puhuak!]
Isaac, who stuffed the sparrow in his pocket, laughed.
It seemed that the subordinate was worried about him and sent the message.
Well, it’s understandable if the loyalty is high. Besides, the guy made a lot of noise, like raiding the Holy Empire 14 years ago.
But…
‘Do you really think I will lose to a high-level demon?’
After not seeing you for 150 years, have you forgotten the power of your master? Isaac couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
And then it happened.
“Isaac! I brought something!”
The Blue team, who had gone to buy the herbs Isaac ordered, came back panting.
“The herbs you mentioned… huh? What’s this? Where did the bird go?”
“Oh, I skinned it and put it in the refrigerator.”
“What?!”
“Anyway, I’m leaving tomorrow morning, so let’s eat. I’ve already ordered it.”
The Blue team sat down, complaining about whether Isaac trained them like dogs.
At that moment, drinks and food arrived. However, even at a glance, the dishes were so luxurious that the Blue team members’ eyes sparkled.
“Isaac, you…! Ordering something like this for us…!”
Not really. I don’t have money to treat you.
Isaac frowned as he looked at the waitress who brought the food.
“I didn’t order anything like this.”
The waitress smiled brightly.
“Oh, I can see that you’re priests on a mission. We are giving it to the priests for free.”
“Wow, Isaac, I envy you. Such a beautiful older sister…!”
They all looked at the waitress, coughing and avoiding eye contact, but only Isaac smirked.
It couldn’t be helped.
What is this? No matter where you look, they are demons.
And with the smell of the western demons oozing from their body, probably the same guy that the sparrow mentioned.
So Isaac could only make a disgusted smile.
‘What is this? Pretending to wait while holding your breath.’
They say something different, right?
