I’m Going to Destroy this Country

What? A response?

They give me something like this and ask for a response?

Is this guy insane?

The adults were agitated.

However, the messenger continued to smile.

“There’s a bit of a deviation from the norm, but how should I respond to a child so young that he can’t even accept the medal directly? Surely you won’t refuse to provide a word of thanks? The Pope specially sent his blessings with the medal.”

Lilai glanced at the messenger.

Even if he appeared to be just a messenger, he was, in fact, a higher-ranking priest, the 5th rank or higher, and a noble of the Papal faction.

‘Is he a son of Viscount Jovel?’

Well, as one of the Pope’s confidants, he was likely to be here for some kind of retaliation.

For Isaac embarrassing Kina in front of the nobles.

And he probably wants to witness the shame of Eshua.

He wouldn’t dare to touch the Pope’s messenger, but he’s probably coming out with this kind of attitude just short of crossing the line.

Then Goel urged Lilai, who was gnashing his lips.

“What are you doing? Just accept it and express your gratitude. Take it and deal with it.”

“!”

“At most, it’s just a problem with a young child. Don’t make trouble over nothing.”

Right, that’s the proper way to do it.

Lilai knew it too.

But as an uncle, he couldn’t bear to bring disgrace upon his nephew. Accepting it would mean acknowledging submission.

‘Even if that’s the case, there’s no other choice…’

But then-

Whoosh!

“Uh, huh?”

The messenger, who had been smirking, was taken aback.

“Huh? Uh, uh, oh no!”

What happened was that the medal he was holding caught fire.

And it wasn’t just any fire.

The flames leaping from the medal were blue flames!

The people of Eshua were surprised.

‘Holy fire!’

A fire not naturally occurring, but created by holy power, is called holy fire.

In other words, it was fire made by sacred technique.

If your level was low, it wasn’t even hot to the touch, but with higher levels, you could produce a merciless fire that burned the soul itself.

More than anything, an item blessed by the Papal faction couldn’t be burned without this holy fire.

Moreover, the ‘blue’ sacred fire was a color that only Eshua could produce!

And that clear blue blaze swallowed the gold medal.

“Ahh!”

The heat was at a level that not even a 5th rank priest could withstand. The messenger had no choice but to let go of the medal.

As a result, in an instant, the box, including the medal ribbon and embroidery, turned into ashes, and the metal turned into charcoal.

“Ah! The medal from the Pope!”

“Daya.”

Isaac shook his hand as if he were delighted.

The adults were surprised.

“Did Isaac use that?”

“Isaac!”

However, the messenger immediately got angry.

“What is this behavior? How dare you destroy the medal bestowed by His Holiness in this manner?! Is this your way of plotting rebellion against the Pope?”

The elders then spat as if they had been waiting for this moment.

“Did we do it on purpose?”

“It was the kid, the kid!”

It’s hard to tell if it’s a priest or a gangster who’s making a fuss.

Lilai also smiled.

“What can you do? First, accept it gratefully and express your gratitude. Accept it and deal with it.”

“!”

“At most, it’s just a problem with a child who can’t even accept the medal ‘directly.'”

“?!”

“Ah, since an accident occurred before receiving the medal, let’s say I didn’t receive the delivery.”

“…What? You’re saying that now?”

“Or maybe.”

Lilai, with his luck torn off, smiled coldly.

“You’re not suggesting that the Papal belongings melted in the fire created by a mere child, are you?”

“…?!”

The messenger’s face turned pale.

The elders, interpreting his expression, cried out in a commotion.

“Oh my, unbelievable! The gold of the Papacy is melting from the blue flames made by a child who couldn’t even accept the medal! Has there ever been such a disgraceful thing?”

“Oh, yes, it’s disgraceful, disgraceful! Now that it’s come to this, we should officially go to the Papacy and apologize.”

“Oh my, should we take that step? Let’s inform the entire Empire! Only then will the Pope be appeased!”

As the cries of the elders echoed like a scream, the people around them began to stir.

Even the servants from other noble families who came to deliver their gifts began to show interest.

Eventually, the messenger looked at Isaac in distress.

Could it really be the holy fire created by that little kid?

‘What is this? The power of the Saint?’

I didn’t even feel him using it!

In the end, the messenger seemed to think the situation was escalating, so he quickly tried to retrieve the medal.

“All right, it seems we brought the wrong item, so we’ll go back and get it. Ah!!”

A burst of blue flames shot up from the messenger’s buttocks.

“Uh, the fire! Please put it out!”

Usually, sacred fire can only be extinguished by people of the same faith, or by someone of significantly higher rank, but it doesn’t usually extinguish itself.

The messenger screamed in agony as if his buttocks were on fire, but those around him were nonchalant.

“Oh, our Isaac really has a strong sense of humor.”

“Just wait a moment. The fire Isaac, a child who can’t even accept the medal, made will go out quickly.”

“Surely, a child who can’t even accept the medal can’t make a fire that can’t be extinguished, can he?”

“Ugh, he’s just a child who can’t even accept the medal.”

Damn it, damn Eshua!

The messenger quickly sought out Goel.

Among the crazy people in Eshua, there was only one sane person, Goel, who was a relative of the Pope and also an ally!

“G-Goel, please!”

Seeing the messenger pointing at himself and rushing over, Goel was annoyed.

That idiot.

But when Goel ignored him, the messenger looked at Isaac.

With holy fire, if you block the eyes of the caster, it should go out!

Soon, the messenger tried to move. But then Lilai kicked the opponent into Eshua’s pond.

Splash!

“Sir Goel, please put it out for me. Even though he’s a messenger, he’s from the Papacy.”

“Oh, I didn’t know that the Pope’s people couldn’t even extinguish the fire a child made.”

“The Pope’s level must be too low!”

The elders laughed heartily.

Isaac laughed as if he was delighted by the messenger’s struggle. However, his gaze towards the man was very cold.

‘Attach a Shadow Lich. Since he’s the Papal messenger, he might ask for some information on their side.’

[Shall I proceed as you say? But is it okay? When a Shadow Lich attaches to a human, they may suffer from delusions and auditory hallucinations…?]

What do you mean, when he sees the name of the Pope in front of him for so long?

[Did you secretly read the vision from the 3rd Vault?]

Right, this fire is weaker than his magic fire, but it’s still useful!

[Do you want to keep hiding the vision? The members of this family will be shocked, and they will turn it over.]

Shut up! It’s my secret fund!

Well, since Lilai is doing something pretty, maybe he could be raised a bit…

“Alright, Isaac! Let’s eat this fruit and make a deal! You only need to eat 200 of them!”

“Dayakk (What the hell?! Why did the number increase)?!!!”

As expected, this family… I should sell it quickly and get out of here!
