I’m Going to Destroy this Country

“Then take care of that guy. I have business in the past Popes’ room.”

Isaac instantly passed by them and went outside.

At that sight, Kina was simply dumbfounded. For good reason, he had doubted his ears when he heard the Blue attacked the Gold. Moreover, it was a shock like being hit on the back of the head to hear that the ringleader seemed to be Isaac.

Of course, Gold and Blue can’t be on good terms, but given the goodwill he had shown Isaac so far.

Not content with quickly joining hands with the Crown Prince to strike down the Pope’s family, to target a small monastery where the Pope is staying alone!

Is this really something the upright Blue would do?

Moreover, the past Popes’ room!

‘Don’t tell me that bastard is aiming for…!’

Why did the Pope come to this monastery of all places? The relics of past Popes are scattered among the monasteries in Berit territory.

Those relics were essentially the cores of the barrier protecting Berit territory.

And here was an item belonging to Pope Sylvester, who had the longest reign among past Popes and accordingly had deep ties with the Skeleton King.

In other words, it means it’s an important place.

‘It can even open the past Popes’ secret vault in the main office.’

It means the Pope family’s secret techniques would be exposed as they are. Kina, who was flustered, tried to quickly chase after Isaac, but-

“No! I can’t let you go!”

Bang!

Shuri blocked Kina like that.

“Didn’t you hear? I said I’d block you.”

The exit was completely blocked by Shuri’s divine technique. A blue barrier wrapped around the wall.

At that sight, Kina looked at his cousin exasperatedly. Unlike how he looked at Isaac, it was an extremely cold and arrogant gaze.

“Block? You dare? Me?”

At the same time, golden lightning that couldn’t be described in words gushed out.

Shuri groaned, ugh.

‘Damn, as expected of the noble among nobles, the Gold family.’

A look saying how dare you think you can be my opponent.

Yes, it’s that uniquely arrogant face like a lion looking at a mouse, but honestly he’s so powerful that you could say it’s okay for him to be like that… Damn it!!

His eyes have rolled back!

I’m going to die, damn it!

But it was ‘that Isaac’ who entrusted Kina to him. There must be a reason for that… like hell there is!

Kina immediately spread both arms and poured out lightning.

“I didn’t know you were interested in fighting me?”

No?! I’m not interested at all!

That Isaac bastard abandoned me and left!

“Since you want it so much, I’ll deal with you directly and then chase after Isaac.”

No! I don’t want it! You bastard!

Boooom!

As the chilling light fell mercilessly, Shuri, who was avoiding the light, cursed.

‘Crazy! I heard he already earned the Cardinal qualification, just not formally appointed. He’s ridiculously strong!’

As expected of 9th rank power!

Shuri also fired long-range killing techniques while hiding his body, but Kina easily blocked them as if swatting away insects.

‘As expected, 6th rank divine technique is not enough.’

Any ordinary priest would have been overwhelmed by Shuri, but the problem is that this guy is not ordinary.

How can you beat the Empire’s number one genius priest? Honestly, it’s strange that Isaac is always mentioned alongside such a guy.

That Isaac bastard must know this too.

‘Tsk, is there no choice?’

In fact, Kina was also letting out a sneer.

‘Well, he’s displaying considerable skill as someone from the Saintess’s family.’

But it’s just at the level of a high-ranking priest. Only Isaac is capable of going toe-to-toe with me.

‘I thought there must be something amazing since that Isaac left him as a substitute, but…’

Kina raised his hand.

“I’ll end this with this…”

At that moment, Shuri held up a box.

“Stop! If you don’t stop, I’ll open this!”

“!”

Kina looked exasperated at the box Shuri held out.

Isn’t that the item Isaac gave to Shuri before leaving? He smiled as if slightly disappointed.

“In the end, since you can’t do it with your own power, you’re using what Isaac gave you? No, Isaac too. Does he think you and I can be reversed just by giving that to someone like you?”

“Shut up, our junior family head entrusted this to me!”

Shuri recalled the words he heard when receiving the box from Isaac.

-It’s our family’s secret technique that I developed. Even the Pope’s grandson won’t be able to move with this. I only trust you. Shuri.

That’s right! Our family’s secret technique that can neutralize even Kina!

“Don’t underestimate our Blue’s secret technique!”

“!”

Finally, Shuri opened the item Isaac gave him. When he infused holy power into the small wooden box, the lid opened and blue light gushed out.

Kina frowned at that powerful blue light.

‘Ah right. The Blue’s secret technique. That is a bit troublesome.’

Especially since it would be stronger if Isaac imbued it with divine technique.

But even so.

“Do you think I haven’t researched how to break the Blue’s secret techniques? I’ll completely destroy that secret technique…”

…de…

stroy…?

At the power that came out of the box, Kina blinked his eyes. It was a face asking why that was coming out of there.

But Shuri, who opened the box, was equally flustered.

‘No, you said it was our family’s secret technique, you crazy bastard!!’

For good reason, what came out of the box was ‘Gold God of Wealth’.

It’s clearly that tutelary stone god that he snatched away when the Gold Cardinal gave it in exchange for the Supreme God before. Right… That thing the Gold Cardinal and Gold priests had been persistently chasing after to get back.

Shuri’s eyebrows couldn’t help but twitch.

‘This is definitely… the one I buried in the Crown Prince’s garden!’

Should I say it’s the size of a fairy as big as a forearm? Gold God of Wealth, in the form of a small old man, stuck to Shuri’s head with a slap.

And to the flustered Kina, it lost its temper…

[You ill-mannered Gold bastard!]

…It’s losing its temper?

[How dare a Gold descendant try to attack the Gold god! I won’t forgive you!]

Even to this side?

Kina fell into mental breakdown.

Shuri became dazed too.

‘Isaac you crazy bastard! What have you done!!’

Well, I mean, yeah. I understood.

When the god of their own faith appears, priests must immediately disarm and show proper respect.

Moreover, a tutelary stone god is a lesser god that stays in a specific place like a family’s guardian deity and keeps that place peaceful. It’s not a very powerful god, but it’s still a long-standing god that descendants should properly revere.

As such, it’s true that even a Cardinal can’t treat it carelessly, but…

‘It doesn’t take sides with other faiths like this…’

Moreover, it’s even more impossible for the Gold god to take the side of the Blue descendant. Unless Isaac did something…

‘Yeah this bastard! What on earth did you do to the god to be like this!!’

Sure enough, Kina, who was rarely flustered, said:

“No, this is, I mean. No. Come out of there for a moment. No, please come out. You can’t stay there like that!”

Then the God of Wealth stuck even more tightly to Shuri’s head and scolded.

[How can the Gold descendant not show proper respect even upon seeing the Gold god!]

Kina was very flustered.

“Ah, no. Um, God. This isn’t the time to say such things…!”

[Hey! You insolent thing! Hurry up and undo your divine technique and kneel! I won’t forgive you if you lay even a finger on this child!]

…This is driving me crazy!!

Why is the Gold’s tutelary stone god blatantly protecting the Blue?!

“That’s the Blue! Please come here! Why are you in such a place…”

[Why, your father sent me to the Blue so I’m here.]

Father!!!

Kina, who didn’t expect to be tripped up like this, wanted to tear his hair out.

Of course, at the time, since they were dealing with the Supreme God, it seems the Gold also prepared someone fairly precious to match… Who knew it would turn out like this!

But he soon said while enduring:

“Tutelary Stone God, that order has been rescinded so please come this way…”

[Hey!!! The young pup’s eyes are too high!]

“Ugh…!”

This is driving me crazy!

In the end, Kina disarmed and knelt on one knee while lowering his head.

Actually, there was no time to be doing this now.

Of course, he didn’t think grandfather would be easily dealt with, but if Isaac’s goal was really the past Popes’ room, it would be a big problem.

He had to quickly escape from here and stop Isaac.

“Tutelary Stone God. The Gold is in an urgent situation right now. Do you know who that guy you’re sitting on is? He’s an enemy who invaded our Gold, an enemy we need to deal with…”

However, the tutelary stone god turned its head away pretending not to hear while sweating profusely.

Kina popped a vein.

“Tutelary Stone God!”

[Huh? What? I’m old so I can’t hear well…!]

This is driving me crazy…!

Isaac, what on earth did you do!

Kina held his forehead in this absurd situation.

He’d like to crush it with a higher god, but tutelary stone gods are gods revered by gods. If someone who will become Pope crushes a god with another god, it won’t spread good rumors. There was nothing good about it.

In the end, he seemed to make a decision and turned around.

“Ha, forget it.”

“!”

If it’s come to this, I’ll just destroy the building and leave.

Originally he didn’t want to destroy the monastery so he was trying to deal with Shuri and undo the barrier, but now there’s no choice.

Just as Kina was turning around like that-

Bang!

“!”

This time too, Shuri blocked him. Shuri, who threatened Kina’s face, smiled fiercely.

“Where are you going? You think you can ignore me and leave?”

‘That bastard…!’

Moreover, unlike before, his momentum had become haughty.

In fact, Shuri was smiling.

‘Right, I was a bit flustered that what he left me was the Gold God of Wealth, but as expected of Isaac.’

This smart bastard!

With this I can deal with Kina who can’t attack!

‘That’s what you meant, right Isaac? That you’re entrusting him to my hands?’

Shuri was inwardly pleased, feeling like he had received recognition from Isaac.

Even if Kina is disarmed, dealing with Kina is not an easy task.

‘He must be saying he trusts me.’

With that thought, just as the excited Shuri was confidently about to use divine technique!

“Kuhek?!”

A strange object popped out of the box the tutelary stone god came from.

It was a black whip-like stem. That stem suddenly tightly bound Kina and Shuri at the same time.

“Kughk?!”

“Ugh!”

The two who were completely tangled up screamed.

They wondered what this was, but soon Shuri who saw something screamed even louder.

“You are…!”

What appeared was a small fairy, Isaac’s king-level Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit spoke to Shuri, who was tightly bound all over his body along with Kina.

[That’s a substance from the spirit world that gets more tangled and tighter the more you move.]

“!”

[Isaac said to hold them well with that. You know what that means, right?]

Shuri, who noticed Isaac’s plan, popped a vein.

Isaac you bastard, was this your plan from the start!

‘Right… There’s no way that bastard would trust me!’

Kina gritted his teeth as if pissed off too. So this was my purpose! Isaac, you’re not going to deal with me till the end…!

“Isaac!”

Kina soon tried to undo the substance binding his body, but Shuri, who was looking at the ceiling as if enlightened, struggled like crazy. The stem reacting to that movement bound them even tighter.

Kina, who felt like his ribs would break, glared at Shuri.

“Hey, don’t move! I’ll undo this so cooperate…!”

“I don’t care! Let’s die together, you bastard!!”

“Aaargh!”

Is this what you wanted, Isaac!

* * *

Meanwhile, around that time.

While Shuri was tying up Kina.

“Someone must be talking about me.”

Isaac entered the past Popes’ room while picking his ear. Then he grinned while looking at a stone statue.

“Found it.”
