I’m Going to Destroy this Country

There was an exceptionally strong light.

‘What in the world is that light…!’

The Treasure Vault, where countless Doljabi events had been held over the past centuries, including some prodigious talents, was known to the people of Eshua as a place where nothing could surprise them. But this was different.

‘A light that has never existed before!’

What on earth was happening inside there?

But what was even more astonishing was this:

“The, the power of the demons has completely disappeared!”

“What? Are you talking about the demons that guard the Skeleton King’s body?”

“Yes! Due to magical interference, we can’t see clearly, but… it seems like one of the children inside dealt with them!”

What in the world?

The adults were in a state of agitation.

The demons in the Saintess’s Treasure Vault were quite well-known to the people of the divine faction. They may not have known the exact details, but they knew they were powerful upper-ranked demons of at least the eighth rank.

Since the seal had been broken, they needed to halt the Saint candidates immediately and go save them. Who among the children had expelled the demons?

Well, no need to ask. It could only be one person.

‘Kina Berit.’

All eyes were focused on him, and with a satisfied smile, Cardinal Berit looked as if it was only natural.

To be honest, apart from that child, there was hardly anyone who could drive the demons away from there.

However…

“The child who defeated the demons seems to have obtained the Skeleton King’s body!”

“Wow! The Skeleton King’s body is something even renowned heroes have difficulty approaching, hm?”

“Someone among those children did that!”

“Is it the blessing of the Pope since he’s already been recognized as a Saint?”

“Congratulations, Your Excellency! You must be delighted.”

“Saving the children and obtaining the Skeleton King’s body! Young master Kina excels in character, ability, and honor, so what is he lacking?”

“Indeed, the Pope’s position is not meant for just anyone.”

When the nobles looked at the Cardinal with admiration, he just raised his eyebrows.

His gaze was directed to the seat across from him.

It was the place of Eshua, who became mute in this festive atmosphere. He also made eye contact with Lilai.

‘Eshua, I know what you want.’

You want the Skeleton King’s body.

That’s probably why they brought it out with conditions attached.

But in the end, it was the Pope family that got it, not the Eshua kid.

‘Now if you want to get it, you have no choice but to bend down to us.’

Blue Faith that attacks the authority of the Pope without even knowing the subject.

How long can the Saintess’s family who pretend to be noble be able to hold their chins upright?

The nobles of the Pope’s faction attached themselves to Cardinal Berit as if to mock the people of Eshua.

“Although the Doljabi was hosted by Eshua, isn’t this Treasure Vaut a gift from God?”

“The result is God’s will. It seems he has already been proven to be a Saint.”

Cardinal Berit looked at Lilai, nodded, and sneered.

“That’s right. It was truly a time for excellent proof.”

However, when Lilai’s friend Simon, who had transformed into a pouting miser, noticed this, he grabbed Lilai by the collar.

“Lilai, did you hear that? Hey, did you hear that?”

“Yeah, I heard it.”

“Talking about ‘excellent proof’ and all! What nonsense! Man, you’re really unlucky. Wow, isn’t the Papacy so passive? Honestly, isn’t this a death sentence? How can he win a kid who is being taught one-on-one by the Pope?”

“Simon, as the envoy of the gods, it doesn’t matter who brings the Skeleton King’s body. Look at that, the elders and elders are all delighted.”

“Argh! Berit!”

“Aah! Ugh!”

…Is that what you call delight?

It’s like a funeral home because everyone is thinking about receiving a body while bowing down to the Pope’s family?

“I can do that by kneeling, so other people don’t have to kneel.”

Rather, that wasn’t what Lilai cared about.

Lilai couldn’t tear his gaze away from the door of the Treasure Vault. The children who had previously been eliminated were being treated and seemed to be recovering, yet Isaac hadn’t emerged.

So, the people of Eshua were holding out some hope.

“It looks like Shuri is taking care of him since he hasn’t come out yet!”

“Yes, even though he’s the older brother, it seems like he’s protecting his cousin well! We’re not expecting the Skeleton King’s body, but if we could at least get the holy goblet of the Seventeenth Saintess or the gauntlet of the Eighteenth Saintess…!”

“Right! At the very least, the necklace of the Seventy-Ninth Saintess!”

Amidst the hopeful cries of the elders, Lilai gripped his finger tightly.

‘Isaac, you don’t need those kinds of treasures. Please come out healthy.’

During that fierce war of nerves, the vassals spoke to the Emperor.

“I guess the Pope’s family is really great.”

No one never would have ever thought that the Emperor would come all the way here and leave just to see the Pope’s family being successful.

Lilai, seeing that scene, also narrowed his eyebrows.

It was definitely a position that brought fame and wealth to the Pope’s family.

He pretended nothing was wrong before, but the truth is that he didn’t feel good.

They had originally been hostile families for hundreds of years, but recently they had been tormented by the Pope family due to the issue of Isaac’s parents.

But even so, public and private life must be distinguished…

“Oh! The last children are out!”

“Shuri!”

“!”

At that name, Lilai’s head turned like a magnet.

Suddenly, the children rushed out. Judging by the number and faces, it was undoubtedly the children who had entered the 3rd vault!

Lilai quickly looked for someone.

One, two, three, four… ten!

Even though almost all the children had come out, Isaac, his young nephew, was nowhere to be seen.

Lilai rushed towards his nephew.

“Shuri! I’m relieved you’re safe. But where’s Isaac? Where’s your little brother?”

Despite Lilai’s concerned questioning, Shuri inexplicably broke out in a cold sweat.

“W-Well, uncle…”

What’s going on here? What kind of reaction is this? Why has every child come out except Isaac? Why hasn’t Isaac come out?

“The children have come out of the 3rd vault with the treasure! He’s the only one among the children who entered!”

“Oh!”

“Let’s verify the treasure right now!”

The adults approached the children lined up in a row. Naturally, everyone’s admiring gaze was directed at Kina Berit.

He was already the hero and protagonist of the festival.

Cardinal Berit approached his son with a satisfied look on his face. However, his expression changed noticeably as he looked at his son.

“Kina, where is the Skeleton King’s body?”

“Uh…”

“What’s in your hand?”

In Kina’s hand was an old, battered brooch that looked like a piece of junk.

“Who brought something like this?”

Kina Berit couldn’t lift his head.

“Kina?”

Something was wrong. Come to think of it, where’s the most attention-grabbing kid among them?

And then, at that moment:

“Oh my, over there!”

With someone’s exclamation, light poured out from above the Treasure Vault’s door. A giant silver wolf appeared, and it was carrying a bundle of meat.

“Isaac?!”

“Young master Isaac!”

The baby was nestled comfortably, sucking on something. Isaac’s nanny Asili turned even paler.

“Is that a dragon that’s holding young master Isaac?”

“…!”

That’s right! It was a dragon guarding the Treasure Vault!

No, that’s not important right now.

“Lilai, why is Isaac… what is he sucking on? What is that?”

“What is it? A bone.”

“Right. A bone, huh.”

“Yes, a bone…”

A bone?!

The people of Eshua turned pale, and everyone present began to doubt their eyes.

The magic, and the bone in the Treasure Vault—there was only one!

‘Could it be the Skeleton King’s body?’

Everyone was in utter shock.
