I’m Going to Destroy this Country

In reality, Isaac didn’t know.

‘Why is my body here?’

After all, the body of the Skeleton King in Isaac’s memories-

Is the memory of self-destruction in the divine world.

Well, he did collide with the intention of becoming excrement, so there wasn’t much harm done.

In any case, he had decorated the final act of the Skeleton King with a splendid fireworks display, so there was no chance of meeting again.

Even if, by some stroke of luck, the remnants of his body remained, the passage of time would have drained it of its former power.

That’s what Isaac thought when he entered the Treasure Vault…

‘These jerks. They stored it so well!’

Isaac couldn’t help but laugh.

Alright. He was so pleased that he couldn’t stop smiling!

“Dadayahaham! (Almost no loss of magic power)!”

Such purity! Such magic!

Of course, if he was to continue growing, his current body would undoubtedly become much stronger.

But was there anything like that in front of him?

That was no longer a simple specialty or a regular magical item.

Even the lowest-tier slime could become a high-level monster with just a single step. It was a top-class treasure!

What would happen if he possessed that body?

The best!

Damn, it’s so… great!

But then…

Isaac, who couldn’t stop smiling, met the eyes of the kids.

“…”

The children’s eyes gazing at Isaac were causing tremors.

Their pale faces seemed to be looking at Isaac as if he was a monster or a demon.

Isaac wiped the corner of his mouth as he met the gaze of all the kids.

‘Damn, I showed that I like it too much.’

This was a problem after he gained a human body.

‘I can’t manage my facial expressions at all.’

Having lived as a muscleless skeleton for centuries, he often made facial mistakes.

After all, he couldn’t even feel emotions when he was a skeleton.

If he didn’t practice, he could even end up laughing in situations where he shouldn’t.

‘It might be dangerous in front of the Pope.’

But the dragon was highly pleased.

[See that! This is the expression of a truly brave warrior! Smiling in the face of such fearsome power!]

The children’s eyes were still trembling.

…A warrior?

Did he just use the wrong word to describe him?

[Even in the face of the fear of death, he can smile.]

As he tried to contain his laughter, Isaac rolled around.

[That’s right! That’s it! This is what true strength is all about!]

“Fuhedaya!”

…Isn’t he just a crazy child?

But now, the voice spoke as if to ask if they had learned their lesson.

[In any case, if you have figured it out by now, I will let you choose not just the 3rd vault treasures but also the treasure from the 2nd vault. The treasures here are also quite valuable.]

The children’s faces brightened.

Choosing treasures from the 2nd vault was more advantageous for the position of a Saint than going to the 3rd vault where they might die a painful death.

‘With so much magic overflowing, what could we possibly bring out from the 3rd vaul?’

‘Choosing the best item from the 2nd vault will likely make us a strong candidate for a Saint.’

They could excel with that treasure…

“No, we don’t need the treasure.”

“?!”

What the?!

The children looked at Kina Berit as if he had gone insane.

But Kina Berit smiled.

“We will all go to the 3rd vault. And please activate all the traps in the 3rd vault.”

“Hey?!”

Has he lost his mind?!

Is he really trying to wreak havoc in this treasure vault right now?

However, Kina seemed to have a plan, as he lifted his chin as if he could see through it.

‘I came here to prove that I am the Saint.’

Didn’t his father tell him to find out who the Saint was?

“TheSkeleton King’s body is an item that even the previous Saints couldn’t bring back. Even the prodigy Saintess Melissa couldn’t do it.”

Isaac, who had been rolling around with laughter, suddenly stopped.

Huh, why couldn’t she bring it back?

Even so, a Saint would be able to bring it, right?

Was there some other reason?

“Anyway, please unlock all the security measures in the 3rd vault.”

Has he really gone crazy?

The children’s expressions were becoming more and more contorted.

[Oh, you know about the 3rd vault?]

“If you think about it for a moment, you’ll figure it out. Even if Saintess Melissa, who was said to be a genius, couldn’t do it. You must be aware of this assurance. You also tried to send this infant here.”

Assurance? Who?

That Saintess who tried to grind the Demon King’s head into rice powder just because he stole her wallet?

“I don’t want to hear that you easily brought the treasure out because the security measures are in place. Leave it as it is in its original state. That’s the only way I can receive an evaluation that surpasses that of the Saintess.”

The voice seemed to laugh as if it found it disgusting.

[You think you’ll be the one to take it, right?]

“Because I can do it.”

Kina Berit glanced at Isaac.

He was going to demonstrate the overwhelming difference in power.

To do that, there had to be witnesses to the difference in power.

“We’re all going to the 3rd vault.”

[If you insist on going that far, fine. Well, it would certainly make it easier to determine who the Saint is.]

The children turned pale.

No! If you’re going, go by yourself! We’ll take the remaining treasures!

But just as they were about to shout this, the sight of everyone, including Isaac, changed.

Flash!

With the sensation of their bodies floating, they found themselves in a vast hall.

Priceless treasures that couldn’t be bought with money were scattered throughout the place.

The children’s eyes naturally turned to them, but they couldn’t get close to them.

“Ugh…!”

The magical power they sensed through the crevices seemed to be at an astonishing level.

“Wait, is that…?”

All eyes were fixed on one place.

[Master! Please look!! The Body! It’s your body!]

Oh my, you look good.

Isaac looked at the low column in the center of the treasure vault.

It was the only item among all the treasures here that was fully intact.

‘Is that a hand bone?’

A hand reaching up toward the sky, as if trying to grasp the essence of divinity.

At first glance, it appeared as if the wrist had been severed and impaled on the column, but Isaac knew.

‘The other parts are models, and the actual part is the thumb.’

And it’s my body, too!

It seems that it has been absorbing power from it here in the 3rd vault!

‘If I retrieve that, the power of other treasures will also enter my body, right?’

At least for a while, he won’t need to take other large treasures.

It was indeed worth trapping the elders and dignitaries who were pursuing me as a shadow lich.

The only drawback was that it was smaller than I expected. The larger the part, the more concentrated the magical power.

‘Wait, isn’t it just right for a child like me to eat it?’

Too much of a good thing might be overwhelming for a young body.

Until you grow up, you might have to endure it like a shrunken radish.

However, the children were in shock for a different reason.

“Is that small bone releasing so much magical power?”

Just with a single fingerbone?

Could it be that it wasn’t the Skeleton King, who was known as the strongest and the worst among the Demon Kings?

It was beyond comparison with the totems of upper-rank demons seen at the Papacy.

Honestly, they couldn’t even imagine someone being able to touch it.

“But even if you just take that…”

‘Saint!’

‘Pope!’

As the children gathered their courage to approach-

Thud!

“Ahh!”

Suddenly, a black aura appeared near the body.
