Chapter 38.1
In reality, Isaac not only possessed the ‘Body of the Skeleton King’ but also discreetly obtained the three treasures.
That’s right, the 3rd vault?
There was a collection of mythical treasures.
‘It roughly means that you are at a level where you can challenge God.’
Well, that’s the level where even famous swordsmen and magicians in the continent can’t handle it easily…
[If it’s the master, can you use it?]
Where do you think I stand?
From the start, the existence of the Demon King, no, the Skeleton King, was already of mythical caliber.
No matter how much they might dominate an era, to the church, it was a mere matter. That’s why there were hundreds of books in the Holy Scripture just about the Skeleton King.
Even if you’re a mythical being facing a mythical weapon, can you not wield it? Of course, not right now.
His limbs are too short to handle.
But the ‘vision’ is different!
The ‘vision book of techniques’ was something you could use immediately as long as you had eyes and a head.
So Isaac was the first to gather the ‘visions’ from the 3rd vault!
And he didn’t just follow the formula; he learned the technique himself for the first time!
“Ah, Isaac! You expelled the Pope’s messenger! Well done! Well done!”
“Madam should have seen the face of that messenger!”
The adults of Eshua danced the tap dance while hugging Isaac.
The way they almost kicked the Papal messenger out, they were almost in a festive mood.
“Aren’t you angry because of those people lately who were trying to drop Eshua just to stick to the Papacy?”
“Right! The Papacy shouldn’t even win in rock-paper-scissors!”
“Wasn’t the Vatican rejecting our request for support last time for some ridiculous reason? Only for Eshua!”
“Even that much was okay! They even invited us from afar, and they didn’t even tell us that the event was canceled and made us go there on purpose! Are they making fun of Eshua? Dirty scoundrels!”
“Our master even told us not to become the same as them.”
However, as if the hidden resentment had been released this time, the elders held Isaac high.
“In the Treasure Vault and with that Papal messenger, it seems this kid is no ordinary fellow!”
But the adults of Eshua knew.
Whether it was in the Treasure Vault or with the Papal messenger, who the real contributor was!
Isaac did well, but the real contributor wasn’t Isaac.
That’s why they poked Lilai in the ribs.
“Hey, Lilai, you genius! How did you ever come up with the idea of dispelling the wretched Pope’s son?”
“Me?”
“Yes, you! Don’t act all clueless. It was you who cast the sacred fire spell on Isaac. Man, you really amazed me. Especially the timing when Isaac managed to ignite the medal!”
Lilai blinked his eyes.
“Um… yes? Weren’t it the elders? I had no idea either; I was just in awe of the spell you cast.”
“…Huh?”
“…Yes?”
“…What?”
…Eh?
Their expressions were strange.
Ehh?!
Only then did they realize the absurd truth.
“Wait a minute. You’re saying this kid used the sacred fire spell?!”
“Did you secretly cast the sacred technique in the Treasure Vault, Lilai?!”
“So he brought the Skeleton King’s body thanks to you…”
“…No, so I’ve been trying to explain this part, but the only spell I cast is a regular transparency technique. We couldn’t cheat on the organizer’s side.”
When it got to that point, Elder Bain, who had entered as a supervisor, dropped the glasses he was cleaning.
“…And what about that high-speed walk?”
“…Isaac… you can cast a high-speed walk spell, right?”
“…?”
“…???”
?????????????
The council members, the elders, and Lilai stared at Isaac with dilated pupils.
“Wait, so that means Isaac was the one who lit the Pope’s medal?!”
Yeah, I did it, you bastards.
Isaac’s eyes turned crescent-shaped.
Well, it wasn’t that tough to learn, not because it was challenging.
He was the best 10th-rank expert, so learning wasn’t difficult. However, it was the scripture that praised the gods, and just reading it was irritating.
Even though his size and firepower were far from what he had as a Demon King, it was enough.
“Sacred Fire is the sacred technique of souls that can only be used by making a contract with the gods! How could a child who hasn’t made a contract with the gods use it!”
I didn’t make a contract with the gods, so I’m not using it, damn it!
Otherwise, would I use such a filthy sacred technique!
“The probability of Isaac’s mother casting it…?”
No, it’s not that.
“That idiot’s mother can’t use sacred fire! She’s an ordinary person down to her bones!”
“!”
Eventually, when the pupils of Eshua’s people shook, the nanny had to speak.
Especially with the sight of Lilai, who brought Isaac.
“I heard that young master Isaac made the Shadow Lich into a totem. Then he can use the sacred technique, right?”
However, they shook their heads as if they were pale.
“Having talent and actually using sacred techniques are different issues!”
“That’s right! You can talk! But that kid, we didn’t even teach him the letters, but he wrote!”
Even Melissa, who was called a genius, at least learned to read and write.
No, that’s not the problem.
In other words, the kid canceled the Pope’s blessing!
Once they realized the seriousness of the situation, they hurriedly called Goel.
This is not a regular case.
“Goel! Bring back the burned medal from earlier! We need to check it with our own eyes!”
Goel pretended not to hear them.
“Our lord told us to throw it away.”
“This fool! Why did you throw it away! It’s evidence that Isaac used it!”
“You told me to throw it away because you said it was annoying, right? And above all, I wanted to keep evidence.”
“No, we thought it was Lilai who cast the spell!”
However, Goel, who had brought the medal, kept silent.
‘Could it be that what Shuri said was true?’
He said that he had actually received help from Isaac.
It was not because of his mother, who didn’t use the power of the sacred techniques. That means that all of her actions so far have been his own power.
But the bigger problem wasn’t that.
‘The medal.’
While Goel was handling the medal, he happened to see it.
A ‘metal’ that was partially melted by the sacred fire.
‘Damn. Even if it’s a box or cloth, it’s okay, but the metal part melted.’
It’s not an easy task to bless boxes or cloth, but in any case, those parts could be handled by a senior priest.
It’s not a myth-level legacy; it’s a finished product.
But metal?
‘But Pope’s metal that can withstand any fire in the world?’
The head of the family, much less the ‘Demon King’, can’t melt the metal of the Pope’s family.
As expected, the metal of the Pope’s family symbolized the ‘faith of gold’ and also signified the Pope himself.
But with a blue fire?
And what would happen if this fact reached the ears of the head of the Eshua family?
‘If it affects the successor position, it’s going to be a problem.’
So Goel got rid of the only piece of evidence. He didn’t want the master or madam to see it.
“Miss! Is anyone there? Go to the trash can and find it again!”
“Yes, yes!”
The servants moved busily at the elder’s words, but Goel laughed.
‘There’s no way they can find it, right?’
He hung a stone on it so that no one could find it and threw it into the deepest part of the lake.
Would he give the highest position of a Saint to a child like him?
