I’m Going to Destroy this Country

Chapter 22.2



 

Crash!

“Ah! What’s happening now?”

The mansion shook as if there were an earthquake when the portrait fell.

Of course, it wasn’t an earthquake. The seal that had locked all the rooms was simply released.

Grumble!

‘It seems like they deliberately used the Holy Dragon’s magic to prevent family members from entering.’

Whether it’s the magic of a dragon or a demon, as long as it’s magic, it’s the specialty of the Skeleton King.

Deciphering it wasn’t a challenge.

Simply removing the portrait with the seal would automatically unlock the room like solving a puzzle.

He didn’t really need to remove all the portraits, but they were annoying.

But Shuri, unaware of this fact, screamed as if he had seen a ghost.

Isaac grabbed Shuri by the hair and dragged him to a nearby room.

“Daya, daya (Come on, open it up, kid)!”

“Uh! This door’s locked… Huh?!”

Pushed by Isaac, Shuri grabbed the doorknob and was stunned.

The door, which should have been locked, was open.

And the moment the door opened, it seemed Shuri’s role was done.

Isaac crawled into the room as fast as a cockroach.

“Hey! You shouldn’t go in!”

Isaac’s eyes sparkled like diamonds once inside.

One, two, three, four, roughly 500!

And their quality was quite good!

With these, there wouldn’t be any problem retrieving his body from the treasure vault.

Considering he had just looted one room, this was impressive!

However, unlike Isaac, Shuri, who quickly followed him in, looked displeased.

“Hey, we need to leave quickly. This is a big problem! And don’t touch the magic cores! Just look!”

At that, Isaac stretched out his finger toward Shuri.

“Daya!”

“Huh?”

Without realizing it, Shuri looked in the direction Isaac was pointing.

During that time, Isaac released his Whisper.

[Mwahaha! I’ll enjoy this!]

Whisper, emanating from Isaac, swiftly devoured the magic cores.

It was like watching slime engulf an object.

However, turning back to see, Shuri became furious.

“What the… There’s nothing… Ahh!!”

Seeing the empty floor, Shuri had no choice but to scream.

“Where did all the magic cores go?”

Responding to Shuri’s outcry, Isaac reached out his small hand.

“Daya! Daya!”

As if he was scared of something, he pointed behind Shuri, and Shuri’s head turned around.

“What? Over there?”

[Mwahaha! This is honey!]

Whisper again gobbled up all the magic cores.

Turning back around, Shuri glared at Isaac.

“Hey! There’s nothing here! What on earth are you talking about… Damn! Why did the thing that was here disappear again!”

As all the magical cores in the room vanished, Shuri seemed to lose his mind.

But he wasn’t stupid.

Why did he come to this forbidden annex in the first place, and the mansion’s door that should’ve been locked was open!

“Hey, it’s you! You took the magical core!”

Shuri roughly grabbed Isaac’s collar.

It must be because he was dragged here in a frenzy due to the Shadow Lich.

Thinking about it, this kid was suspicious. Since this guy was the eldest son’s son, he was an enemy anyway, what does it mean for a demon to follow a human?

Especially from a family of the Saintess?

“I’ll tell all the adults! Once they hear you’re dealing with demons, you’ll be kicked out immediately…!”

Just then-

“Shuri!”

A familiar voice came from outside the mansion. Then the footsteps of adults echoed loudly.

“Shuri!”

It was Lilai and the servants, along with some elders.

Did they rush here sensing some magical energy?

They looked shocked in the lobby.

Of course, they were.

All the portraits were shattered, the mansion’s seal was broken, and the magical cores were gone.

Meanwhile, Shuri laughed as if it was a good opportunity with the elders present.

I’ll tell them everything.

Above all, the elders were on his side.

With this, he could finally get rid of the nuisance known as the candidate for the Saint.

He immediately pointed at Isaac.

“Elder! Listen! It’s all because of him…!”

“Shuri! Why did you do such a thing!”

Huh.

Shuri looked at the adults as if he had been slapped.

The elders were staring at Shuri with disdain.

It seems the servants saw Shuri and Isaac heading towards the annex.

Specifically, it seemed like they noticed Shuri holding a totem and disappearing, which alarmed Lilai.

“Everyone heard it. You brought Isaac here, didn’t you?”

“Ah, no…”

The elders were taken aback by Shuri’s reaction.

“They said the servants saw you carrying the kid here, didn’t they?”

Well, he did bring him, but…

“There are traces of an attack spell in the hallway!”

“How can you think of hitting a child! Can you still call yourself a descendant of the honorable Saintess’s family?”

No, Isaac attacked!

I was the one who got hit!

“And you even stole the totem to meet Isaac. Do you still deny it?”

Yes, he went after the kid to torment him, but!

As Shuri beat his chest in frustration:

“Young master! It’s a disaster! The magical cores in the room!”

“!”

Shuri snapped back to reality at the mention of the magical cores.

“Yes! It’s this kid’s doing! This kid… Where did he go?”

Then there was a knocking sound from another room.

“Daya! Daya!”

The servants ran in shock to the desperate voice.

Lilai quickly picked up Isaac, who seemed to have been locked in the room.

“Shuri! This is too much! How could you lock up and torment a child like this!”

“???”

Locked up? When did he?

Meanwhile, Isaac, who had absorbed the magical cores in another room, smirked.

Realizing the situation, Shuri gritted her teeth.

“It’s, it’s not me! I came here because he wanted! The portraits, the attack spells, it was him!”

“Who taught a priest to lie?”

“I’m not lying!”

“So, you’re saying Isaac, who can’t even use spells yet, did this?”

“That kid can even control demons! We need to kick him out of the house right now!”

“Shuri! How could you conspire against your own brother!”

In the end, Shuri beat his chest in frustration and tried to grab Isaac’s collar, demanding him to bring out the Shadow Lich.

“You keep lying?! Bring it out now!”

“Daya…!”

As Isaac made a pleading face, Lilai’s eyes narrowed.

“Shuri!”

In the end, the one who burst into tears was Shuri. Isaac sneakily grinned in Lilai’s arms.

Don’t be too upset.

If you listen well, I might let you eat some snacks.

He was already pondering how to deal with the treasurer’s gatekeeper.

Especially if the guardian is an 8th rank demon and a dragon, he needed a strategy to find his physical body.

But with this much magical core consumed, he could use that strategy.

The milestone was just around the corner.
