Chapter 34.2
“Isaac! Why are you carrying that?”
“Is that what’s important? Can he suck on that?”
“It can’t possibly be the Skeleton King’s body! It must be the loot from a thief who entered and died!”
Amidst the commotion, the nobles turned and looked at the Cardinal.
Cardinal Berit gave Kina Berit a cold look, his voice as cold as metal.
“Kina. Did you give the Skeleton King’s body to this child? And brought back that trash?”
His voice was icy.
“Well, that…”
“Are you mindful of the young master? It’s not bad to act with the organizer’s honor in mind, but it doesn’t seem like a very clever plan.”
It was when the Cardinal opened his mouth as if to reveal the truth.
[Act? What kind of nonsense were you talking about?]
“!”
The voice came from the dragon holding Isaac.
The young dragon, now transformed into a silvery wolf, spoke as if he couldn’t believe what was happening.
[This child is the one who brought out the Skeleton King’s body.]
“…Yes?”
[In other words, he defeated the demon, obtained the Skeleton King’s body, and gave the treasure to the other children. It was all this child’s doing. You bastard!]
What?
“What did you say!”
Others were the ones who were surprised.
“Eshua’s suckling did this?”
It was hard to believe, but the other party was a dragon. A young dragon brought into the treasury by Eshua’s Saintess, who had a deep connection with sacred dragons.
They couldn’t be sure why such a precious hatchling was in the treasure chamber, but still, it was a dragon. Even though it was young, it was undoubtedly better at magic than humans and couldn’t have misread the situation.
However, even in the midst of everyone’s shock, Lilai was the only one to criticize the dragon.
“Isn’t it too much to break the seal of the Fourteen Demons? You should know that the kids can’t handle the demons…!”
[Why are you saying that to me? The child of the Berit family asked me to unlock the seal.]
“!”
The nobles turned their terrified eyes toward Kina.
Cardinal Berit let out a little chuckle.
“Young dragon, don’t lie. Do you think we wouldn’t know your deep connection to the Saintess’s Family?”
But just then, the voices erupted.
“No! Kina activated all the traps in the 3rd vault!”
“Yeah! We didn’t want to go, but we were dragged into the 3rd vault!”
“Because of him, we almost got torn apart by the demons!”
The parents of the children who had come out of the 3rd vault gazed at Cardinal Berit in shock.
“Is the Papal family even sane right now?”
“He asked for the demon seal to be broken?”
Angry nobles turned their attention to the Cardinal.
At the same time, other observing nobles were astonished in a different way. If the dragon’s words were true, it meant that Eshua’s child dealt with the demons that Kina had released.
“Could Eshua’s brat beat the Pope family’s child…?!”
“If this fact gets to those who didn’t attend today, it will be a disaster.”
The trembling gazes of the nobles focused on Eshua, but the Eshua family couldn’t care less.
It was all because of Isaac.
“Come on, Isaac! Be a good boy! Hand it over! That’s a finger! Give it up! Let go of it!!”
No, I won’t, you brats!
Nom, nom, nom, nom, nom!
Isaac sucked on the Skeleton King’s thumb as if it were candy.
It was sweet.
The high-quality magic he had tasted after a long time was amazing!
‘Yeah, probably because of my Survival. It absorbs immediately when I suck on it.’
Usually, absorbing this much magic would require at least a hundred years of closed-door training. But eating it allowed for immediate absorption.
Isaac happily sucked on the diminishing bones of the Skeleton King.
Nom, nom, nom, nom, nom!
And as the tug of war continued to try to take it from him.
“Oh, oh! As expected, Isaac did it!”
“Elder!”
Elders and knights who had gone missing from the Treasure Vault appeared.
“Where have you been all this time?”
“We got caught in the strange traps of the demons and were trying to tear them apart, but then we suddenly disappeared. Damn! Where did we go?”
Well, I ordered the Shadow Lich to grab you and release you, of course.
Isaac continued to suck on the bone.
Nom, nom, nom, nom, nom!
They watched Isaac sucking on the bones as if it were their own business, celebrating like it was a festival.
“Of all things, this kid brought it, not Berit!”
“Yeah, yeah! The Saintess will be very happy with this. Or rather, Eshua’s family will be happy about this!”
Yeah, that’s right. Keep celebrating.
While you’re celebrating, I’ll use this to strengthen myself and take over this family and the country.
But Lilai didn’t just stand there watching. He tugged at the bones, indicating to the dragon.
“Yes, Madam will be delighted when her wish is fulfilled! With this, we can finally track him down! So please, help us!”
Instantly, Isaac’s eyebrows twitched.
Hmm, tracking?
What?
He with the ‘survival’ suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
Hold on. Why did Melissa ask for someone else’s body?
And why offer such an incredible reward?
What’s going on here?
Is that guy a pervert? Necrophilia?
“If you have only the physical body of the Skeleton King, you can use a tracking spell to trace the soul of the Skeleton King.”
Ah-ha, I see.
If you have just the physical body, you can trace the soul of the Skeleton King… Damn, what did you say?!
[Huh, doesn’t it mean it will reveal the location of its owner? Or not. Honestly, as a Saint, and due to our different species, there might be a chance it won’t activate.]
But Isaac’s ears seemed to have stopped working.
“In 150 years, no one could find out where he was hiding, but with a soul trace, you can locate the Skeleton King.”
What kind of chase is this, desecration of a corpse!
“When Madam Melissa arrives, it will be immediate. So, Isaac! Hurry up and bring that! Let’s use it for this. Finally! It’s a chance to find the Skeleton King and kill him!”
No, damn it!! If you couldn’t find him in 150 years, give up!
“Come on, Isaac! Let’s find the Skeleton King’s location! The Skeleton King’s body is the only one in the world now! We’ll trace his location!”
No! You don’t need to trace it!
The Skeleton King is right in front of you!
Damn it, these perverts have lost their minds!
“Baby, there’s only one left, and it’s really precious! Give it to me before you break it!”
Lilai also heaved a sigh and lifted Isaac high.
“Come on, Isaac! This item is too powerful and dangerous, even holding it might…!”
But at that moment…
Gulp!
“…Huh?”
In an instant, the faces of the Eshua people turned pale.
That’s because Isaac just put the bones of the Skeleton King in his mouth and…
…Gulped?!
Huh? Huh huh?
“Ahem.”
“Aaah!”
That’s not for eating!!
