Chapter 31.1
There’s something known as the Five Great Lights.
It signifies the five faiths representing the continent.
And among those five lights, the leader who guides the blue faith is Eshua.
Just what kind of lineage does Eshua come from!
The ‘sword’ which is the most noble among the five lights!
A faith that protects the weak by annihilating demons!
Those who fight demons on the front lines must be stronger and more resilient to temptation than anyone else.
Thus, the Blue Sword Eshua is purer, braver, more honest, and less covetous than anyone else… No, damn it. Anyway, it’s the lineage that’s said to be the most noble!
It should definitely be the case.
“Dyadyadyadyadya (hahaha, this is honey)!”
[Kyakyakya! Damn priest kids! Hurry up and dedicate your strength to your master!]
“Dya (Become nutrients)!”
Watching a baby shaking the
Every time Isaac shook the ring, powerful holy energy was seen being absorbed into it.
He’s stealing the strength of the other Saint candidates without leaving anything behind.
Honestly, it’s hard to tell whether that’s a demonic brat or from a priest lineage.
Of course, the actual persons losing their power didn’t seem to understand what was going wrong.
“Eh? Why has the holy magic stopped?”
“Is this also an oderal?”
“Heuk, E, Eshua has been facing such extreme trials since infancy on Doljabi!”
“Respectable guys…!”
No, that’s not it, stop!
Probably, only Shuri knew about this situation.
It was because of Eshua’s pure bloodline. Eshua’s lineage had sturdy bodies capable of withstanding demons and special abilities mixed in their blood.
But even if they witnessed such an event, they couldn’t speak of it anywhere!
Damn it, how could they say it!
That the little host is ripping off the holy power of the Saint candidates, laughing like a devil!
No, to be more honest, even if they said it, nobody would believe them, right?
That ring was originally meant to support a bit of the surrounding holy power.
In other words, it meant it could only take a handful at a time.
If it could rip off holy power at such a ridiculous level of greed, it wouldn’t have been called the Saintess’s ring but a thief’s ring… No, it wouldn’t have even been treated as a low-grade item!
Even uncle Lilai knew that, so he must have set a low-grade holy spell according to the charging amount.
But how could it have such power?
It seems like the ring’s power has been upgraded.
‘How the heck?’
Is that the kid’s power?
However, to Shuri’s gaze, Isaac seemed to find it amusing as he clicked his tongue.
‘It’s not an upgrade, but drawing out its original power.’
Isaac knew.
How much the Saints had to sacrifice, even their lives, hundreds of years ago.
This ring was originally a divine gift that even sucked in surrounding life forces to gather holy power.
The Saints themselves must have been more desperate knowing the weight of that sacrifice, but…
‘Sorry, but living is better than dying.’
The Saints were just executioners dragged in by the lazy god’s orders.
Why should they have to die?
What sin did the people around the Saints commit to shed blood?
So, the Skeleton King sealed the powers of the items while fighting the Saintess.
That way, under the name of divine punishment, neither the innocent escort knights would be sacrificed nor would the Saintess think of self-destructing.
In fact, after that, meaningless bloodshed and sacrifices disappeared.
It’s just that the Saintess became a road idiot, or there were many incidents of jumping over someone else’s bedroom wall.
Whether it’s because they are ignorant nobles or because they only learned how to turn demons into meat. They carry a stupid amount of money and get pickpocketed… No, that’s not it.
Anyway, it might be because it’s old, but actually, it’s because the functionality was reduced.
And the one who did that is here?
Then just undoing the seal and restoring the functionality would be enough, right?
If it’s not used to kill oneself, just sucking honey with it is enough, right?!
“Dyadyaydayaya (Give me more holy power, you guys)!”
“Eung, I’m sleepy now.”
“Hee, my power…!”
Thump! Thump!
However, he didn’t rip out their life forces, at least out of conscience.
He just needed to replenish the holy power spent dealing with the golem earlier.
Of course, he didn’t really want to refill the damned holy power.
‘If I starve for holy power, it will convert magic power into holy power on its own again.’
Damn body.
Most importantly, it was better to gather as much power as possible for the 3rd vault.
‘Since the 2nd vault had a demon, the dragon must be in the 3rd, for sure.’
The dragon might know him.
Unlike the golem, if he uses magic, it might notice it’s him, so he has to fight with holy magic as much as possible.
And more than anything, he has to skin it with holy magic so he can overcharge for the hide. Puhuhehe.
Well, the ones who had their strength stolen would feel unjustly wronged to death, but they should be thankful, head bowed.
‘You guys wouldn’t be able to withstand the demonic energy of the Skeleton King’s physical body anyway. Considering the addiction…’
But then, it happened.
Whoosh!
“!”
With golden flames, the murderous puppet inside the 2nd vault burned down in an instant.
Bang!
It was closer to annihilation than burning down.
It was a pure light of pure gold color, as if not allowing even a trace of impurity. Thus, the flame symbolizing the gold faith swiftly eliminated the marionettes of the demon race, which were impurities.
“I’ve finally found it.”
“Kina Berit!”
Kina Berit, who had been the worst off, appeared.
He was descending from the bird of light, gasping for breath.
There was no doubt he had hastily summoned the Holy Spirit upon seeing Isaac open the gate.
Upon seeing him, Shuri seemed to despair.
‘Can he already summon a Holy Spirit?’
No, it wasn’t just Shuri.
The other children felt the same.
It was a precious holy spirit, used only in invasions by higher demons.
Of course, it’s a non-combat spirit and still small, but this isn’t merely a matter of talent.
An overwhelming genius!
However, Kina Berit was glaring at Isaac.
“You must be surprised. I didn’t expect anyone else here could defeat the demons.”
Kina Berit’s eyes were trembling.
Understandably so, hadn’t his grandfather, the Pope, told him? There would be no child better than you.
All the Saint candidates will become servants of the Saint. Everyone will kneel before you…
Isaac picked his nose at the rare trembling look in his eyes.
He must be recalling his grandfather’s bullshit.
Typical of the Pope’s family to say.
Probably said something like the Saint candidates will all become his servants?
‘But you’re the one who will become one.’
