I’m Going to Destroy this Country

Skeletons.

So to put it briefly…

In one word, they are pitiful creatures that make you cry.

Are they so weak that they make you cry?

No, they’re extremely weak.

Of course, it would be scary if a horde of them that never dies or gets tired came at you.

But do you think the world is full of only idiots? If strength alone determined rank, humans would have gone extinct long ago.

But what? Bone heads?

Since they’re bones who can’t even talk, they probably don’t have any complaints, and their intelligence is also low so they don’t rebel. But they never die, never sleep, and don’t need food, making them an infinite energy source, yet they’re so weak that they’re completely harmless?

Hah! They’re extremely useful! The best to exploit in the labor market! No wonder they’re the untouchable underclass in the demonic world!

That’s why demons summon skeletons to use as minions and laborers.

As for the priests… Yeah, these bastards are honestly the worst!!!!

These beggarly priests use skeletons as training dummies!

There’s nowhere Isaac hasn’t been summoned, from priest exams to noble kids’ private lessons to children’s festivals, dammit!

You know what they do when they summon skeletons?!!

‘They kill us!’

It’s miserable enough being suddenly summoned, but these chick punks treat skeletons like complete pushovers and beat them to death!

The scumbag knights even dismember skeletons and play with their bones like balls, huh?

It’s miserable enough dying, but you know what happens when they die?!

‘We resurrect at Level 1!’

Well, it’s closer to their bodies being completely destroyed and reconstituted, but anyway! They become Level 1!!!!

No matter what level they reached, if they die, they start all over again from the beginning!

Isaac was really painstakingly raising his level and about to evolve when he got summoned again! And when summoned, he gets blasted by the divine technique and falls into ‘hell’!

-…You again? This is the 43,721,376th time.

-A new record…

-Clack clack clack. (Dammit!!! I’m really going to smash all those clergy bastards’ heads in!!!)

After evolving, instead of dying he came out knocking them down, so the times he fell into hell decreased, but so what?

These bastards don’t even clean up after summoning them!!!

-Ack! It’s a crazy skeleton! Run away!

Do you know how far it is from the Holy Empire to the demonic lands?

Now that Isaac was a priest, he can laugh hahaha while riding a holy beast. But back then he had to walk that distance that takes months by steps every single time.

Just when he finally made it home, he’d get summoned again!

‘This shit…!’

Anyway… It means they’re pitiful creatures.

Moreover, skeletons are dumb creatures who don’t even know why they came here before dying. Since they reset every time they die, they can’t grow stronger either.

In a word, it means an eternal… summon cycle.

But those pitiful creatures…

These damned priestly bastards…

“Clack clack clack. (Whoa, where is this? Where are we?)”

“Clack clack clack clack. (Don’t know! Don’t know! But our King is here!)”

“Clack-ack. (Whoa! It’s the King!)”

You dare summon skeletons before my eyes?!!

But whether they knew Isaac’s heart or not-

“Isaac! The divine technique! You can pulverize them in one shot with that!”

“Yeah! Undead are nothing against that spell!”

Turn… what?!

These bastards are telling me to Turn, Turn, Turn what?!!!

Isaac grabbed the back of his neck, foaming at the mouth.

These filthy clergy bastards are telling me to use!

The !

On them!

Are they?!

Huh?!

Just hearing the name brought back such traumatic memories that Isaac felt like collapsing.

[Hiya, but is just a beginner holy spell, right? Just use it?]

You bastard, do you not get it?!

“Isaac! This is at the academy level! You know skeletons are the easiest to deal with, right?”

“Yeah! Super easy!”

Smashing your skulls seems even easier though, huh?!

Soon, sparks flew from Isaac’s eyes.

“This bastard Lilai… Fuhah!”

The skeletons came rushing towards Isaac. No, dozens of skeletons that were truly summoned swarmed him all at once.

“Clack clack clack. (Whoa, it’s the king!)”

“Clack clack. (You came to see us! You came to see us!)”

“Clack clack. (Whoa, happy! Happy!)”

“Fuh…! Fuhah!!!”

“Isaac!!”

“Young master!!”

Thump!

Buried under the skeletons, Isaac wanted to die.

No matter how lowly the demons were, they were still his kinsmen. Having been together for so long, he could sense their soul energies.

“Clack clack. (Why haven’t we seen you, haven’t seen you for so long?)”

“Clack clack clack clack. (You finally called us.)”

You guys, I know you’re glad to see me, but you’re heavy!

The sight left the apprentices preparing and the Blue Knights quite perplexed.

“What’s going on?! Skeleton targeting just one person?”

This was absolutely unheard of.

“More than targeting, it looks like they’re happily running to him…”

“What? Skeletons?!”

“…As much as I look, doesn’t it seem like being hugged?”

“No… It seems more like he’s being crushed to death.”

As more and more people found the scene strange, Isaac sensed danger. No matter how stupid the priests were, this was definitely an abnormal phenomenon.

If he didn’t act normally, he would arouse suspicion, and if suspicion dragged on, the inquisitors would move.

‘If I mess up, my true identity will be exposed!’

Snapping to his senses, Isaac decided to fulfill his role first.

Of course, he wouldn’t use .

He knew how to use it, but he absolutely wouldn’t use that undead-killing spell!

‘I’ll just extract their magic cores. That should render them unable to fight.’

The lower-ranked the demon, the more exposed their magic core is on the outside. For skeletons, the sphere that glowed inside their ribs was their magic core.

‘If I take out the cores and put them back in later, they’ll move again…’

“But let me remind you, extracting magic cores is not allowed! You must pulverize them with !”

“?!”

You damned, wretched bastards!!!

While Isaac cursed inwardly, Shuri and the Blue team seemed to find it reasonable instead.

“As expected of sir Lilai… Going through with just is an extremely easy difficulty.”

“Right. Usually they make you extract the magic cores since is too overpowered against undead…”

“Even a newborn baby could pass…”!

“As expected…! A person who cares deeply about his nephews…!”

You bastard! He’s not thinking of us, you fool!

Isaac, who had asked for the easiest task, rolled around.

But whether they knew his heart or not, the other faith groups got angry instead.

“Hey, isn’t this too much? The anti-demon divine technique is Blue’s specialty as an anti-demon faith!”

“You’re openly favoring the Blue too much!”

“I heard the young master asked for an easy one!”

Uwaah! No, I didn’t ask for this!

This madman Lilai!

Isaac glared at the Blue knights, but the subordinates who received his gaze seemed to catch on and shouted loudly.

“We’ll award a King to whoever defeats the most with !”

Then they gave a bright thumbs up as if to ask, didn’t I do a good job?

‘Is this what you wanted?’

‘Alright! Hurry up and pass the Blue Pentagon with a perfect score!’

‘If it’s our youngest master, it’s nothing, right?’

At the laughter asking for praise, Isaac felt like he was going to faint.

…I’ll definitely use paladins as a meat shield!

[You’ve dug your own grave.]

Shut up!

In the end, Isaac raised his hand to use the divine technique.

[Oh! Is it finally a fratricide!]

Won’t you shut up?!

. A divine technique that exorcises the undead.

While other faiths find it quite difficult, it’s one of the easiest exorcism techniques in the Blue’s spell book for eradicating demons, appearing in the first chapter.

In other words, Lilai greatly reduced the difficulty for Isaac, but something like ! Do you think I’ll use it!

This was a matter of pride!

Just say you can’t use it and attack with offensive spells!

‘I’m sorry, you guys. Since you’re undead, even minimal holy power will be fatal, but it’s better than going to hell.’

So, just as Isaac was about to attack the skeletons-

“Clack clack clack. (Wow, the King has noticed us! Noticed us!)”

“Clack clack clack clack. (Master! What should we do now? Just tell us!)”

“Clack clack clack. (Wow, I’m so happy to see the Master again! Happy!)”

Isaac’s hand that was about to channel holy power trembled uncontrollably.

For some reason, the young skeletons seemed to be expectantly shining their eye sockets.

Of course they don’t have eyes… don’t have them!!

Damn it!!!!!!!

‘I, I was going to destroy my own kind with… my own kind with the dirty techniques of those dirty priests…!!!’

In the end, Isaac slumped down powerlessly.

Shuri and the Blue team were startled to see Isaac crouched down on the ground.

“Isaac?!”

“…I can’t. I can’t do it.”

“What?!!”

No way, he can’t even handle mere skeletons?

Now even the Blue knights turned pale. They had heard that Isaac wouldn’t sit still if he couldn’t pass through Blue Pentagon.

“But, young master…! Why would you hesitate against skeletons that even babies of the Blue can handle!”

“…Don’t want to. I’m allergic.”

Seeing him not even lifting his head, the Blue knights realized.

“Don’t… don’t tell me. Are you scared?!”

Come to think of it, Isaac had never faced an undead since he was born, had he?

At those words, the Blue team’s pupils shook.

‘…Could it be true? Is he scared?’

‘Yet he behaves so boldly?!’

‘Well… moving skeletons would be scary for kids.’

Everyone’s eyes wavered.

Who would have thought Isaac had such a childlike side.

As Isaac remained motionless, the skeletons seemed worried and rattled around him.

“Clack clack. (Master, why aren’t you moving?)”

“Clack clack clack. (Master, no magic power? No magic power? Put you in dragon fire?)”

Isaac flinched in surprise.

Hey, you guys! No way! If you do that now, you’re screwed!

“I said I’m human, not a skeleton, so it hurts!”

At those words, Chung’s people flinched in surprise.

…He said he’s human, so it hurts?

Particularly the knights who sensed something from those words looked at Isaac in dismay.

‘Could he be saying he sees the undead as human?!’

‘Well, they may have become monstrous, but even skeletons were once human.’

‘So he doesn’t want to attack fellow human beings…!’

And the Blue Faith is about to protect everything, no matter how small, from evil.

“Do you wish to save humans who have become monstrous…!”

Truly, it is a saintly attitude.

The eyes of the Blue knights, who had only been summoned by order, changed.

Frankly, even though he was the youngest young master, they had thought he only received favor for his hair color.

They have to let the Master and other knights know. This must be told.

‘Our thoughts were shallow.’

‘Indeed, the son of the Saintess. His heart reaches that far…’

It was a statement that made them reflect on themselves, who usually thought only of beating down demons at the mere sight of them. He was truly someone who upheld Blue’s teachings.

However, while the Blue team looked at Isaac with trembling eyes, Shuri was negative.

‘…There’s no way that brat is having such sweet thoughts.’

Soon, Shuri sighed and raised his finger.

“Move aside. If you can’t do it, I’ll do it. ”

“Aahh!!”

Isaac, who had been lying down, jumped up in a panic.

No way! If others use , annihilation is guaranteed!

Of course, it was used by apprentices. It was nothing compared to the of Popes or Cardinals that would outright obliterate even superior undead like liches.

But still, even so, these guys were just ordinary low-level skeletons. Weak ones could go beyond just a trip to hell and get outright annihilated on the spot by holy power!

“…I’ll! I’ll do it!”

As Isaac sniffled, the Blue team patted him.

“No, Isaac. Don’t force yourself if it’s too hard.”

“Right. We’ve gotten help from you until now, so this much is nothing. ”

“Aaahh!!!”

You damn bastards! That’s not what I mean!

In the end, Isaac jumped up and clenched his fist first.

“.”

Along with Isaac’s holy power, a blinding light shot up from the floor. Everyone marveled at the brilliant pillar of light.

“Oh…! What is that light! It’s hard to keep my eyes open!”

“I’ve never seen one that big!”

“As expected of Isaac!”

“Clack clack clack. (What’s that sparkling thing?)”

“Crack clack clack. (I don’t know, don’t know, but it’s pretty! Pretty!)”

Isaac begrudgingly used the divine technique he hated using the most, putting in deliberate effort.

Of course, the spell wasn’t used to hit the skeletons.

‘I’ll pretend to use and send a Shadow Lich!’

While everyone was marveling at the flash of the faked , a Shadow Lich emerged from Isaac’s shadow. It quickly moved and hid in the skeletons’ shadows.

At the same time, the Shadow Lich absorbed the skeletons into the shadow realm.

Slurp!

It had trapped them in a kind of sub-space.

But at a glance, it looked like they had been exorcised by the spell’s light.

As the light disappeared, the knights and apprentices all gaped.

“What, they all disappeared!”

“Don’t tell me you got rid of that many in one shot?!”

“Amazing…! That’s not apprentice level, but bishop level or higher!”

“That brat…! He truly has the makings of a Saint!”

Isaac held back unseen tears.

These damn bastards.

I’m really going to destroy them all.
