I’m Going to Destroy this Country

Bang bang!

Explosions that seemed to tear eardrums kept going off. Benjamin didn’t know what was happening.

All he could tell was that along with the acrid smell of gunpowder, there was a delicious smell of meat cooking… No, no no! The smell of a god cooking… No! That’s not it, he could hear the sound of something exploding.

He didn’t know exactly what Isaac was doing, but it was certain this brat was causing trouble right now.

“Benjamin! You bastard! Keep your eyes closed!”

Moreover, he knew very well that this kid was an unfilial bastard with no hope!

In the end, Benjamin could only rub his forehead.

“…Isaac. What on earth are you doing?”

“Oh, don’t open your eyes yet. You shouldn’t see this!”

“You’re not even calling me uncle anymore…”

“Your eyeballs will burn from the heat!”

“I’m your uncle, you brat…”

Then Isaac patted him as if he was upset about that.

“You look young enough to be my brother anyway! Who would see you as a parent figure, you look young!”

“Isaac… That’s not how you use those words…”

“So don’t think about dying, let’s live. Okay?”

“I can’t die even if I want to because of your education!! You damned kid!!”

Finally unable to bear it anymore, Benjamin popped a vein in his neck.

“Don’t be unfilial to your father!”

“Don’t worry! You know how well I treat Grandpa!”

Benjamin clutched his head as if in pain.

‘How was such a bastard born from that brother and sister-in-law??’

Well, it didn’t matter now.

As things quieted down around them, Benjamin said as if in pain:

“Can I open my eyes now?”

“Yeah, it should be fine now.”

Isaac dusted off his hands. Originally he made Benjamin close his eyes because his eyeballs could burn from the high-level fire magic, but there was another real reason.

‘I can’t let him see me using magic.’

Well, it’s fine since Benjamin is 0th rank and can’t sense magic power, but wouldn’t even an incompetent person find it strange if flames burst right in front of their nose?

[I don’t know… It seems like even an idiot would know that was caused by fire.]

Sure enough, Benjamin screamed when he opened his eyes. An eel, no, a god was floating charred black in front of his eyes… What?! What’s going on?!

A lion’s roar burst from Benjamin’s mouth as he foamed:

“Isaac! What have you done!!”

“Ah, it just burst into flames on its own.”

“How is that possible! Tell me the truth!”

“Well, actually I slightly grilled it to make grilled eel.”

What, you brat?!!

Benjamin gaped, asking what kind of divine punishment-worthy act this was, but Isaac just laughed.

‘The magic I can use with this current body is about 8th rank at best.’

And 8th rank fire magic? For humans, it would vaporize all the body’s moisture and melt even bones on contact. Of course, it’s not enough to burn a god.

So he condensed the dragon’s magic power in the rattle to add power.

-I’ll marry you, so please fill this with lots of power.

He seduced Sapien like that to obtain magic power, and deliberately scorched from inside the body to ensure the effect.

‘Well, compared to the Skeleton King’s hellfire, it’s just bonfire level, but…’

Since he scorched the god’s internal organs with magic that’s the god’s nemesis, it must hurt like hell.

[Oh my, how pitiful… I wonder if any flesh is left after being so burned.]

‘You don’t need to pity it.’

Rather, it’s vexing. It should have just quietly performed the awakening. What’s with the sacrifices?

Isaac frowned and placed his hand on the god’s tail.

‘As I thought.’

Sensing directly, he could know for sure.

‘Living sacrifices have no relation to awakening.’

[What? Really?!]

‘Yes. From the start, the awakening principle itself just involves spitting out an awakening stone. Living sacrifices aren’t needed.’

[!]

Simply put, it means it demanded living sacrifices as a preferred food even though it could use its power without eating.

‘It’s already not a god anymore.’

Anyway, if I just rip out the internal organs, I can do the awakening as I please…

As Isaac cracked his knuckles like that, Benjamin was startled.

“A priest can’t kill a god! You’ll be punished!”

“I won’t be punished. And I don’t intend to kill it. I’ll just rip out its innards.”

…No, that seems even worse?!

But it was then.

Rumble!

“!”

The god they thought had fallen rose up.

[How dare you…!]

[Master!]

As the god raised its body with a rumble, Isaac raised his eyebrows as if very surprised and became wary.

“Look at this bastard. It’s gotten stronger from eating living sacrifices all this time, huh?”

[Unforgivable.]

“!”

[Seeing Eshua favorably, I was going to magnificently awaken this generation’s Saintesses in return for eating you guys.]

“What, man?”

[I was honestly surprised you had the Supreme God’s mark, but that’s enough.]

The god sneered at Isaac.

[You may have been claimed by that one, but you’re not connected to the Supreme God yet.]

“!”

At the god’s words, Isaac rolled his eyes as if to say it’s come to this after all.

Well, okay.

The weakness of this mark is actually that.

Though he contracted with the Supreme God, this was the Supreme God arbitrarily marking his territory. So while it has a clear warning effect on its own, he still can’t use the Supreme God’s power or anything yet.

In other words, it’s meaningless to an idiot whose eyes have rolled back so much that even warnings don’t work.

Therefore, Isaac scratched his head and sighed.

‘Ahhh, I was hoping it wouldn’t come to this. But I have no choice.’

[Woah, don’t tell me you’re going to use your power, Master?!]

Whisper looked around worriedly.

[Even so, there are two Cardinals here! The one you used just now was ordinary fire magic, so you could say you imbued it with the sacred dragon’s power, but even dragons wouldn’t dare imitate Master’s magic! The power is on a different dimension…]

‘Mm. I know. But magic isn’t just for smashing things. Puhehe.’

[What?]

It was then.

[Die! I’ll finish you off at least!]

The God of Awakening rushed in fiercely. At this, Isaac also sprang forward as if he had been waiting.

Thud!

Light that couldn’t be looked at and waves swept the surroundings with the god’s rough movements. Those nearby screamed and covered their faces.

“Kaah! The barrier!”

The god seemed to have put up a barrier to isolate Isaac, but Isaac, who was infusing magic power into one hand, laughed gleefully.

“This kid is providing a smoke screen on its own!”

“Isaac!”

“Benjamin, close your eyes!”

Finally, Isaac’s gaze changed as he leaped at the god. His pupils changed as if turning into magic eyes, and his magic core reacted violently.

It was pure magic power drawn directly from the Skeleton King’s magic core, not gathered externally.

Woong woong!

And as that magic power rushed from the world of unconsciousness to consciousness through the magic veins, it gathered in Isaac’s hand.

As if the truth of the universe was gathering at one point, the creation of a magic formula occurred in Isaac’s hand.

[Die, you insolent bastard!]

“The one dying is you.”

Isaac stepped on the waves and leaped towards the god’s body. The moment his hand got close to that body-

.

Thud!

Isaac’s hand struck down on the god’s flesh.

Then an astonishing thing happened.

From where his hand touched, the god’s flesh started rotting rapidly.

The living became the dead.

Holiness became filth.

The glorious light for the god became ashes of destruction for the lord of death.

The god’s attributes started changing to undead.

[Uh, uuh?]

The god trembled as if bewildered.

It seemed not to understand this situation.

For good reason, this power of death…!

[This bastard… wa… no, this power…! It can’t be!]

The God of Awakening froze.

Finally, Isaac, who was sitting on the God of Awakening’s face, smiled eerily.

“You’re just a low-ranking god.”

[…!!]

“How dare you bare your fangs at me.”

[What have you done to my body…! No, this power, no it can’t be… Aaargh!!!]

As Isaac jumped down into the sea, the god writhed as if in agony.

Its holy power disappeared, and its reason was disappearing too.

It changed to the undead attribute led by the Immortal King.

This power was the power of the Lord of the Dead that turns the opponent into an undead. It was the Skeleton King’s unique magic that reversely utilized the curse placed on the Skeleton King.

The effect is certain, but the backlash is also certain.

Sure enough.

“Uweeeek!”

“Isaac!!”

As Isaac vomited blood, Benjamin approached in surprise.

“Isaac, are you alright!”

‘Damn… This is why I tried to end it without using my power.’

It was too burdensome to use with this body that’s only about 8th rank in magic.

But well, this is enough to 100% cut off the breath of a low-ranking god of that level. I deliberately made it undead from inside the body so it wouldn’t be noticeable.

However, the god was still a god, and it struggled even as it was becoming the Skeleton King’s ghost.

[You bastard…! I must check you closely before I die!]

The god exerted its final strength and rushed at Isaac. This time, it looked like it would tear Isaac’s body apart rather than simply devouring him.

Isaac gasped for breath.

Damn, this bastard got unnecessarily tough from eating living sacrifices.

‘The magic has been activated so I just need to hold out, but will the timing work?’

At that moment, Benjamin quickly blocked in front of his nephew as if to protect Isaac.

At that sight, there was also a commotion where Elai was.

“What’s happening now? What did Isaac Eshua do to make the god…!”

It’s not clearly visible from far away. If even a Cardinal can’t sense the energy, ordinary priests probably can’t even guess what’s happening.

But Elai, the leader of the Blue, sensed it.

‘This feeling is black magic.’

He couldn’t escape his eyes. But even so, he seemed to roughly understand.

‘Since magic is the god’s ultimate nemesis, he must have used his head in that direction.’

But if he’s not careful, Isaac could be punished for attacking the god.

Well, the god also tried to eat Isaac who wasn’t the designated sacrifice, so they can’t say anything about rule violation either.

As such, that side would rather hope for Isaac to die by the god’s hand.

And from a priest’s standpoint too, it’s right to let a priest who attacked a god receive divine punishment. Normally, Elai should also leave it to the god’s judgment as a Cardinal.

At that time, the god drew close as if to bite off Isaac and Benjamin’s necks.

It was at that moment that Elai moved. Just as Benjamin was embracing Isaac protectively-

Bang!!!

“!!”

Blue lightning poured down from the sky.

A powerful anti-demon divine technique cut off the god’s breath.

[Khuuuuk!]

Finally, the dragon whose breath was cut off staggered and fell into the lake.

Bang!

As water sprayed, Benjamin looked at Elai who had taken down the god, as if surprised.

“Father…!”

“Are you alright.”

“…Father, this is…”

Elai was silent, knowing what his son was about to say.

In fact, Elai was about to give up everything the moment the god descended. As a follower of gods, it was unthinkable to defy a god.

But is this truly a god?

Which side is worse?

“Father, this is a god.”

Soon Elai spoke while looking at the fallen god.

“No, this one is not a god.”

“What?”

“This bastard is just an eel.”

Benjamin looked at his father in surprise, and Isaac said one thing while retching.

“Ugh, you stole my final blow.”
