I’m Going to Destroy this Country

Soon, the family head, who witnessed Isaac’s frenzied state, looked intently.

“Except for family members, it’s an extreme secret, but judging by the red eyes, he must have received the Skeleton King’s curse.”

Is that so? Did red eyes mean that?

That crazy guy left such a mark?

No wonder, even when looking at direct family members, most of them had blue eyes, not red.

But Whisper found it strange.

[If someone with the level of my master’s soul came, wouldn’t the mark of such a curse automatically disappear? It’s quite strange.]

Well, wasn’t his eyes red from the beginning?

However, Goel still seemed displeased with the situation.

Understandably so, because even if you were cursed by the Skeleton King, as long as you had strong holy power, there would be no immediate hindrance to survival.

Isn’t the third child of the family such a case?

Ultimately, when he became the Pope and used the Divine Ascension Art that only the Pope could use, such a curse would disappear.

The moment you accepted the divine, you became half-immortal, or a demi-god. Diseases, curses, and mortal wounds all vanished.

In other words, if Isaac persevered and became a Saint and the next Pope, the meaning of the Skeleton King’s curse would be nullified.

That’s why Goel was cautious about this situation.

‘Because of that bastard who ate the Skeleton King’s flesh, I might die.’

But if father could help extend my life…!

‘Is father going to give wings to Isaac?’

But, well, water and fire were within the expected range.

Though his stomach hurt, it was something you could handle when you grew older.

Fundamentally, Goel didn’t have a good feeling about the boy, born in Eshua.

He didn’t intend to give more than water and fire, to put it another way…

“Water and fire seem weak. I will give you the Holy Spirit.”

In response to the head’s words, Goel nodded.

“Yes, that’s right! Water and fire seem… Huh?”

At the same time, Goel’s eyes widened as if to say, as if wondering what he had heard, and an incomparable voice erupted.

“The Holy Spirit!”

“That’s right. At least, I should give it to someone who can purify the Skeleton King’s magic.”

“Father!”

This time, Isaac understood.

‘You pretty family head!’

Isaac cheered as if he had succeeded.

Holy Spirit?

Isaac had planned to get it by tearing it off, but he had thought he would only be able to receive it when he grew up.

This was because it was something that could be requested in exchange for bringing the Skeleton King’s body.

But to get it like this?

‘Since the Holy Spirit is from another realm, it’s better to receive it as a child. If you accept it now, it’ll be even better, no, the best.’

It was worth driving out the messenger of the Papacy. Isaac never thought the Papacy would be so helpful.

Of course, Goel actually gritted his teeth.

‘Only a few people can use the Holy Spirit.’

Normally, you could only receive it as a favor item.

But just because it was a favor item didn’t mean anyone could receive it.

‘! It’s an item that only the Pillars of Eshua can receive!’

And who are you giving it to?

“Thank you! It will be a great help to Isaac.”

“No! It’s too much! It’s incomparable to water and fire!”

Lilai was pleased, and Goel couldn’t bear it anymore as his stomach was twisted.

From the start, Goel had been preparing to sell Isaac as an adopted child to another family.

Because Eshua boys have good genes, they were popular for arranged marriages or adoption. Moreover, with this incident, there were even more places that wanted Isaac.

So, he had to deal with this before it reached the family head.

“Yes, Isaac has as much talent as Shuri. In Eshua, and from a local family at that. I understand that you want to reward this adorable grandson. But!”

“!?”

“The Holy Spirit is something that was meant for those who have shed blood and elevated their honor for Eshua. Did that boy genuinely do something for the family?”

“Brother, Isaac…”

Goel interrupted Lilai’s diplomatic response.

“Even if that kid actually ignited a medal, it’s an action that challenges the Papacy. Do you think the Papacy will just stand by? Ultimately, it’s an action that endangers Eshua.”

“!”

“Is that all? They say that boy brought back the Skeleton King’s body from the Treasure Vault, but in the end, he ate it. To remove it, a lot of medicine and labor was expended. Isn’t that causing trouble for the family?”

A lot of medicine and labor?

The medicine was all gifts that came for Isaac, and as for labor, Goel only remembered that Lilai and the grandfathers were grumbling about the trip.

Isaac smirked while Goel was fuming.

“For such a boy, giving him the Holy Spirit. If you did that because he’s your elder brother’s child, you seem to have folded your arms too easily into your sleeves. Please think about the other heirs who consider Eshua’s honor.”

The head of the family agreed.

“Really? It’s a mistake.”

With the Master’s words, Goel sighed in relief. It seemed that his point was finally getting across.

“As expected, I knew father would understand! Lilai and the council members, why are they so stubborn and won’t listen…”

“You made a mistake. Goel Eshua.”

Eck.

Goel looked at the family head in confusion.

But when their eyes met, Goel froze.

In those sharp blue eyes, there was a hint of anger.

“What were you doing when the Pope sent such a gift?”

“…!”

“How dare you just send back those who dared to fight on Eshua’s land?”

Something was wrong. Realizing the Master’s anger, Goel started panicking.

“That…! If there’s an unnecessary conflict with the Papacy , it could put Eshua in danger…”

The family head’s gaze became even fiercer.

“You, who try to put down your nephew, may not even have done anything for the family. Or did Eshua seem insignificant enough to stumble over something like that?”

“…!!”

Goel broke into a cold sweat.

“Are you thinking of breaking someone else’s food bowl just because you can’t eat it yourself? If you don’t have the ability, keep your mouth shut. You, who arbitrarily judged Eshua’s danger, are actually putting Eshua in danger, and you are creating trouble for the boy who deserves a rightful reward.”

“…”

Goel couldn’t lift his head.

“Even animals protect their young from their flock. But what are you? Moreover, Eshua is the family that protects the smallest beings. But the weakest being we were supposed to protect actually protected our pride. If this isn’t an elevated act that brings honor to Eshua, what is?”

Goel could only break into a cold sweat, and Isaac grinned.

Wow, the baby is going to cry.

So what if you hear a little more?
