I’m Going to Destroy this Country

The demon seemed utterly shocked.

The audacious situation where a mere human would try to establish hierarchy was surprising, but what surprised him even more was the power.

It was not a human’s power.

Nor was it the power of an ordinary demon.

‘Upper-rank demon.’

Not an ordinary upper-rank demon.

Top-tier! Or even above!

The demon, who tried to shatter the tiny head of the Skeleton King, quickly retreated in confusion.

He seemed to be afraid, but it was only for a moment.

-How dare a human!

As the demon seemed even more angry, the Skeleton King raised an eyebrow.

Normally, that should have ended there.

The strength was somewhat lacking as it was different from the usual state without eyeballs.

‘Hmm, there is a risk of being caught if I draw more magic power here.’

Even though that was the case, it was in front of the priests. That’s why he was using magic power in power-saving mode.

But now, when the temple is covered with the magic of a high-ranking demon.

The corner of the Skeleton King’s mouth curled up. Then he drew just a little more magic power than before.

If the size was smaller than a grain of rice before, it is now about the size of a bean.

Then something surprising happened.

Flash!

A strong holy light burst from the Skeleton King’s body. It was the brightest light manifested so far.

The knights and priests who came to save the Skeleton King doubted their eyes.

“Ex-exorcism…?”

Confused, the demon tried to deal with him before he did something, but the Skeleton King didn’t allow it.

Rather, he seemed to laugh as if it was funny.

How dare you.

At that moment, the Skeleton King’s eyes sparkled towards the demon, who revealed his intentions.

‘Won’t you go away after I release the magic core?’

-!!

Whoosh!

At the moment when the Skeleton King revealed a slight true color, the demon froze.

It was a horror that would tear his soul apart.

Finally, the demon, who was frightened by the Skeleton King, ran away frantically. He turned into a black wind and escaped out of the temple.

The paladins were greatly surprised.

“The demon! He’s running away!”

“Don’t chase it too deep! Now the Saint candidate comes first.”

“Order!”

With the Emperor’s command, the paladins bowed their heads, and only one or two chased after the demon. The priests approached the Skeleton King as if they were suspicious, and as if they couldn’t believe it.

“Why did such a demon just run away?”

“There’s no way the Shadow Lich didn’t kill anything and just ran away…!”

Then the imperial paladins who claimed the Skeleton King as a Saint almost cried out.

“Why do you think he ran away? Of course, the Saint drove him away! Didn’t you see that light just now?”

“It was definitely an exorcism!”

“Wait! Such an exorcism should be at least the 5th level!”

“How can he use such a high-level holy skill at that age…!”

When the priests told them not to talk nonsense, the paladins were even more angry.

“Then why would the demon run away!”

“Because he is the Saint, of course, God has given him power!”

No, God didn’t give it, but stole it.

And it wasn’t the dirty exorcism, but just scaring him away?

But the reason why the Skeleton King, who drove away the demon, frowned was different.

‘This kid, just ran away after I released the magic power.’

The Skeleton King, who proudly tells the other party to commit suicide, soon tilted his head.

That’s because of the light that exploded while dealing with the demon just before.

‘That light was definitely a holy power, right?’

But this time it wasn’t stolen from someone else’s holy power.

In the first place, it was incomparable to the power that burst when he dealt with pretending servants or a Bishop.

Then, the arm of the Skeleton King who was about to move his body fell loosely.

‘!’

Almost all the power was drained.

‘The magic power is almost gone…!’

No, I didn’t even use magic, so why is the magic core completely empty!

The Skeleton King immediately knew the reason.

‘You son of a bitch, did you convert magic power into holy power?!’

The Skeleton King grabbed the back of his neck as if he was bored.

He was going to investigate in detail about this body later, but it seemed that it was not the body of a Saint for nothing.

‘Well, it should be the body most beneficial to the demons than anyone else.’

The Saint was a symbol of anti-demon.

In other words, it means that it has the characteristic of turning even the power of the enemy, which is a weak point, into its own power.

‘Well, whatever it is, it’s an advantage, but…’

Even if you don’t cling to the gods, you can use the holy power if you have the magic power.

The only problem is…

‘No, it’s already hard enough to fill the magic power to hundreds of times that of others. If you even pour out the magic power as a holy power…’

When the hell is he supposed to use magic!

He has to quickly raise the level of magic and crush those damn guys!

The Skeleton King was grinding his teeth.

“What is this kid doing now!”

“!”

In the chaotic temple, the Bishop’s shout echoed.

The Bishop, with his eyes wide open, approached and grabbed the frail Skeleton King by the collar.

The pushed priests and paladins doubted their own eyes.

“Bishop!”

“What is this!”

“What are you doing?”

The Bishop said with a look of surprise.

“I checked it! This kid just summoned that Shadow Lich!”

“Really?”

Everyone in the temple was greatly shocked.

The imperial paladins were extremely displeased.

“You’re saying the kid summoned a demon! The kid is supposed to drive out that demon!”

The Emperor also looked at the Bishop as if he was ridiculous, but the Bishop desperately shouted.

“Your Majesty! Please believe me! This kid is definitely a demon! The light when he hit me earlier was magic, and it was this kid who summoned the demon from the totem! He’s definitely using the power of a demon!”

The Skeleton King raised an eyebrow at this.

Of course, it was natural for the Bishop to be suspicious of him. He was the only one who had been hit with a magic-infused rattle.

He must have felt the same magic when he hit the unsealed totem with the rattle.

It was only natural to suspect the Skeleton King, unless he was a fool.

In the end, the Bishop caught the Skeleton King.

“How dare a demon sneak into the Holy Empire! And pretending to be a Saint candidate!”

“Bishop.”

“I will reveal your true form and put you on the gallows!”

He was saying he would rip the infant’s arms and legs and kill him.

Just when the excited Bishop roughly pulled the back of the Skeleton King’s neck.

Thud! Roll!

“!”

At that moment of struggle, something fell to the floor.

The sensitive paladins wouldn’t miss that sound.

“That’s…!”

It was a medicine.

As soon as the round red object fell, the imperial paladins immediately checked it.

Their gaze became fierce as they skillfully smelled it and confirmed the taste.

“Isn’t this divine poison!”

“!”

Divine poison is a poison that destroys holy power and the priests’ bodies. In other words, it is a poison that kills priests.

What does it mean to have that in the Holy Empire?

The imperial paladins’ gaze towards the Bishop changed.

“Bishop Berit. Why does the person who came to meet the Saint candidate have something like this?”
