Chapter 37 The Little Mouse That Bites
"Roland, Roland, remember this. No matter what the matter is, once it's related to the devil, it will become very complicated. We have to be very careful about this matter."

Wallace said, "Originally, we might not have been able to defeat it, but once this thing has a body, it has weaknesses. Claire isn't a good host. Furthermore, Claire just used up most of her magic power while collecting rare items. So, after the demon possessed Claire, it was at most the strength of a mid-level apprentice. And it could only rely on Claire to move."

After thinking for a moment, Wallace continued, "The two of us together should be able to deal with that guy. It's just that the magical artifacts in his hands are a bit tricky. Although most of them are damaged, a few are still usable. Especially the 'Gray Wand', which is the famous work of a certain alchemist. I have seen other gray wands before. The 'black light' it emits kills people invisibly. Not only is it difficult to detect, but it can also turn mid-sentence! If you are not careful, you will be... Be careful!"

Before he could finish his words, Wallace suddenly pushed Roland, and then his head exploded like a watermelon.

Roland's pupils changed drastically, and he dodged and hid behind a stone pillar.

Brush la la la...

A strange black light passed over the spot where Roland had just stood, struck the distant wall, and shattered the rubble on it.

Roland wiped the red and white substance that splashed on his face, his expression looking very ugly.

Wallace died just after mentioning the Gray Wand—and gave Roland a demonstration before dying.

A burst of wild laughter came from the distance.

"Hahahahahahahahaha... Not bad, not bad, these rare items are really good! Old man, tell me quickly, where did you hide that Crucible of Bitter Sleep?!"

The speaker was the blond freshman. He saw Roland move away, but he didn't care at all. Instead, he kept talking to himself, and it was unclear who he was talking to.

A deep voice rang out from his abdomen: "My respected master, you can look for it in the west hall... (Crunching sound)"

Roland looked over there from behind the stone pillar.

The entire hall was very dim, and neither Roland nor the blond freshman had lit a torch. However, the high-level swordsman had excellent eyesight, so he could clearly see the blond freshman's appearance at that moment.

The blond freshman was floating in the air. His clothes had been torn into rags. There were many tumors on his body, and there was a big cracked mouth on his abdomen.

The chewing sound just now came from this big mouth, and it looked like it was chewing a broken leg - upon closer inspection, the broken leg was the broken leg of the blond freshman!

Crunchy...

The blond freshman was sawing at his other calf with his sword, as if he was planning to cut off this leg as well and feed it to the devil.

The bones of his legs were exposed, but his face was filled with an ecstatic smile.

The blond newborn jokingly smiled at the demon in his stomach and said, "You old immortal, you're honest. Hehe, don't worry, as long as I get all the treasures, I will spare your life."

The devil said, "My merciful and blessed Lord, I will certainly satisfy all your needs. If you find something useless later, don't forget to feed me some like you are doing now... I am really hungry... hehehe..."

"Okay, okay, since you've been so obedient, I'll give you this piece of trash to eat."

The blond freshman seemed to have problems with his cognition. He treated his legs as garbage, cut them off, and stuffed them into the devil's mouth.

There was no bleeding from the blond freshman's broken leg, and he didn't feel any pain, which showed that the demon's parasitism on him was already very high.

After stuffing the broken leg into his stomach, the blond freshman stuffed some broken strange objects into his big mouth. After the big mouth swallowed these things, the blond freshman's strength gradually became stronger, and at this time he was close to the peak of a low-level apprentice.

Roland thought to himself, "Wallace is right. The demon is very weak. Its magic power is probably at the peak of a low-level apprentice... But we can't let it continue to eat."

At that moment, a figure appeared in the distance, running toward the blond freshman. As it ran, it shouted, "Claire (blonde freshman), is that you? Did you and Lord Wallace find the artifact?!" It sounded like it was the red-haired freshman. He must have overheard the conversation between the demon and the blond freshman, but he didn't catch it clearly. He thought the blond freshman was talking to Wallace.

The blond freshman looked at his companion running towards him from a distance and said with a smile, "Of course I found him... Don't worry, Carl, you've been my best friend since we were little. You even lent me my tuition, how could I forget you? Hehehe."

The tuition for the blond freshman and the magic stones he had previously bribed Wallace all came from the red-haired freshman.

The red-haired freshman had already approached. When he saw his companion clearly three meters away, he froze in his tracks: "Claire, you, what are you doing..."

The blond freshman turned to look at the red-haired freshman and asked darkly, "What's wrong with me?"

Just as the blond freshman was distracted and talking, a blue lightning bolt flew straight towards his abdomen.

The blond freshman didn't know what was happening. He only felt the dim hall suddenly become as bright as day, and a static electricity reaction occurred on his body.

At this moment, a magic hand stretched out from his abdomen - this magic hand stretched out at the moment before Roland cast the spell.

It was as if the demon knew where Roland was going to hit the moment he mobilized his magic power. It stretched out its hand in advance and flicked it into the air, hitting the lightning.

This shot actually deflected the lightning and hit the red-haired freshman three meters away.

The red-haired freshman instantly turned into a shining human light!
The human light flickered, and another bolt of lightning flew out from his body, flying towards the blond freshman again!

This chain lightning is extremely insidious. If someone thinks that it will stop after missing the target, they may not be able to prevent its secondary chain.

In a flash, a strange magical fluctuation suddenly appeared in the blond newborn's abdomen, and then a transparent barrier lit up around him.

After the lightning struck the barrier, it was like a power switch was turned off. It flashed twice and then disappeared.

"Interesting, interesting. What an interesting little mouse." The devil's voice echoed in the hall.

In this brief moment, Roland had already fought with the demon twice. When the blond freshman reacted, he only saw a figure in the distance running away into the darkness.

The figure was extremely fast, and it seemed that after missing the attack, it fled without hesitation. By the time the blond freshman reacted and looked at Roland, he had already disappeared.

"Chain lightning?!" The blond freshman looked at the red-haired freshman's corpse, which had turned to charcoal and knelt on the ground, with a look of fear and suspense in his eyes. If it had been him who was hit just now, he would probably have been turned to charcoal.

Chirping...

A withered arm and a scalpless head emerged from the belly of the blond newborn.

This is the demon that is parasitic on the blond freshman. After devouring various flesh and blood, magic stones and broken strange objects, it has grown arms and a head.

In its arm, it held a small lantern, which was a rare object. The barrier that had just protected the blond newborn was created by the lantern.

The demon glanced in the direction Roland was walking away and said, "Little thing, you are really cruel. You killed your own companions without mercy right at the start."

"Old man, my best friend is dead!" The blond freshman cried as he looked at the charred corpse not far away. "My best friend... He killed my best friend... Wuuuuu, I could have... I could have fed my best friend to you!"

The devil comforted him, "Don't be sad, my master. That little mouse that escaped is much more interesting than you and your friends. My original form really sent me a little mouse that can bite people... I like mice that can struggle. Hehehehe."
