Your notoriety is known to everyone.

The scene fell silent again, and Rogers' heart was beating fast.

The abnormality of this shadow demon is beyond our intelligence, so we must try to gain resistance first!

Anyway, there are three chances to go back. If you find that the resistance cannot be inherited the second time, or if you cannot obtain the resistance at all, you still have a third chance to go back.

If you can gain resistance, you must take advantage of the opponent's failure to usurp his spirit and fall into weakness, and do your best to control him.

Such unstable factors must be under one's control. If they are truly out of control, one must find ways to eliminate them as quickly as possible.

Just as Rogers's mind was in a state of confusion, the Shadow Demon's voice sounded again:

"Have you really made up your mind? Do you really want to be free? Once you are replaced by me, you will completely disappear, leaving only an empty shell."

Rogers nodded solemnly, as if he was asking a friend for something very important.

He poured all his magic power into the magic book, indicating that he would give up all possibility of resistance.

“Professor Idrul and Professor Alanna know your instincts, and they will not take the initiative to explore the situation in the house to avoid disturbing you.

“I have also given all my magic power to the magic book, and I am unable to use any magic at this moment.

"So you don't need to worry about anything! Release your instincts! Take on my fate!"

Rogers closed his eyes, lay on his back, and looked as if he was ready to die bravely.

Chapter 41 This is the magic power accumulated over many days

A wonderful feeling slowly lingered in Rogers' mind, bringing him an illusion of incomparable peace and intoxication.

It's like the breeze blowing across the blue water, or like the warm light from the sun.

All his worries and troubles were quietly brushed aside at this moment, and only carefree happiness filled his heart.

The Shadow Demon's usurpation has begun.

Rogers opened his mind and cooperated with the ritual of transformation into a shadow demon.

"it is good."

A soft and firm answer came into Rogers' ears. It was Alice's voice.

The scene that suddenly emerged in front of his eyes was as if he had returned to the time when he took Elena to the market and proposed to Alice to take her back to the Earl's Mansion to get engaged.

"It's a bit weird, not sure, let me take another look..." Rogers was observing the inexplicable illusion with a subtle mood.

In this illusion, Alice agreed to his proposal, and his parents also agreed to cancel his engagement with Elena.

Afterwards, he and Alice entered the temple together and held their wedding with the blessings of Count and Countess Breed, Kevin, Elena, and many citizens of the Skarlo Market.

Then the two of them entered Saint Herta together, and worked together to defeat various evil forces and protect world peace.

During this time, Rogers successfully grew into a respected sage, and his love with the saint was envied and blessed by the whole world.

Eventually they had many wonderful children and returned to Breed Country to live a long and happy life together.

This illusion is a world line filled with happiness from beginning to end.

If it weren't for the extremely strong passive ability of [Ignorance Bonus], Rogers might really think that he had lived a perfect life...

Why Alice? According to my current mentality, I don't really have much desire to have a happy ending with Alice.

The best ending should be that one ascends to the supreme existence and gains complete freedom and security.

Based on this, Rogers had some guesses in his mind as to why the Shadow Demon was so abnormal.

[The time-travel bonus is activated, and time and space will be traced back to the second before you suffered a fatal attack. 】

As the prompt box popped up, he opened his eyes instantly.

“Have you ever been replaced?”

A clear and weak girl's voice echoed from the void, her tone full of doubt.

It worked! No matter how abnormal the opponent was, he couldn't escape the basic setting of the Shadow Demon!

Rogers immediately used the [Enlightenment Special] to strengthen the [Contract Special], and instantly found the direction of the emotional fluctuations in the space in front of him.

He untied the knot that bound the magic book, pointed a finger in front of him, and shouted, "Shoot!"

The magic power that had been accumulated for many days in order to deal with the Saint suddenly spurted out at this moment, all pouring into the Shadow Demon.

Because of the Shadow Demon's ability to "imitate", Rogers did not dare to cast any spells or use the skills of manipulating basic elements at will, but simply chose to "overwhelm the demon with force".

However, he still made some transformations to his magic power through the magic book, giving it a corrupted attribute.

The magical creatures born from the Sleepless Town are all extremely sensitive to emotions, and the magic books related to the Abyss are best at outputting "negative" things, which naturally include emotions.

However, this is different from the negative emotions of ordinary magicians, and is "toxic".

The thick magical flow containing the breath of corruption directly pushed the Shadow Demon to the wall of the wooden house, and a vague human silhouette also appeared and disappeared.

"You damn liar! I shouldn't have chosen to believe you in the first place!"

A roar filled with resentment emanated from the human silhouette.

Rogers scratched his cheek twice with his little finger and sneered with disdain.

He is an honest and trustworthy man, and never lies to anyone, but that is only to people, not magical creatures.

Moreover, this Shadow Demon was clearly a cursed creature coming for him, and even the dumbest person would not treat it sincerely.

"Little sister Shadow Demon, you are too naive. You should know that my character is considered to be of high moral character among all human beings.

"No human being will ever be truly honest with a magical creature. This is common sense that needs no further explanation."

Rogers sincerely assimilated the Shadow Demon's popular science knowledge, and at the same time he kept secretly urging the magic book to increase its strength and try to pour out all the inventory of many days.

According to estimates, the Shadow Demon would only need to endure his magic power spray for a few seconds before quickly falling into a state of powerlessness and exhaustion.

However, the patience shown by the opponent was far beyond his expectations. If this continued, within a few seconds, let alone considering whether the Shadow Demon could be controlled or destroyed, he would soon be exhausted.

[The "Shadow Rogers Brid" born from the Sleepless Town imitates and activates the "Pseudo-Death Demon Special". With it as the center, the magic power within five meters will be forcibly reduced. 】

[Death Magic Special] is one of Alice's signature specials in "Evening Bell Quartet". Its function is to drastically reduce or directly erase all magic power in the specified space, which is the so-called special attack on the blue bar.

Judging from the time, Alice should have just awakened this special feature not long ago.

Rogers narrowed his eyes slightly, and did not push the magic book out of the influence range of [Dead Demon Special], because it was simply too late.

"A liar is a liar! No matter how much he says, he's still a liar! Not only me! She shouldn't believe you either!"

After the magic flow was dispersed, a little girl in a blue magic robe appeared by the wall, and she angrily accused Rogers of fraud.

The other person had the same silver hair as Rogers, but his eyebrows and eyes were very similar to Alice's.

"Is that so? By absorbing the Saint's emotions, it gains a strong resistance to corruption and can also imitate the Saint's special abilities.

"It is precisely because of the strong influence of the Saint that your character has also become so 'pure', to the extent that I easily led you into a trap.

"But how twisted and heavy are the feelings Alice has for me to cultivate your strength to this extent..."

Rogers pinched his chin and looked at the other party, evaluating the shadow demon in front of him with emotion and complexity.

Although he had just made some guesses, his mood was still extremely subtle when the truth was revealed, and it was difficult to describe his current emotions in words.

squeak-

The door of the tree house was slowly pushed open, and Idrul and Alana stepped into the house curiously. They looked back and forth between Loges and Shadow Demon, frowned, and said in unison: "How can there be two Loges?"

Chapter 42 Why are you in Rogers' room?

Upon hearing this, Rogers turned around and looked at the Shadow Demon, only to see that the other party had changed into the same appearance as himself, and was staring at him with the same scrutinizing eyes.

At this moment, the magic book lay quietly at Roger's feet, without any reaction.

I don't know if it was injured by the Saint's special attack against the fallen, or if the impact of the pseudo [Death Demon Special] was too strong and knocked it unconscious.

"He is the Shadow Demon."

Rogers and Shadow Demon answered the two professors' questions in unison.

"This is a bit difficult. The Shadow Demon's talent for transfiguration is something even I may not be able to match." Idrual walked to Roger's side with a distressed look on his face and said in a serious voice.

"Yes, things are getting complicated." Alana also walked to Roger's side, looking up and down with her beautiful eyes, as if she was distinguishing the truth.

Rogers looked at the two of them speechlessly, waiting indifferently for what would happen next.

As he expected, Idrul continued the next moment: "In order to distinguish the authenticity of the two of you, why not recite another chapter of proverbs similar to the one we spoke during the trial in front of the gate."

"Yes, the Shadow Demon can imitate appearance and personality, but it certainly cannot imitate talent." Alana nodded in agreement, and then added:

"However, this child may not have understood so many maxims. It is normal that he cannot create new maxims. It would be better to elaborate on the maxim 'As above, below, and above, below. Thus, Taiyi's miracles are accomplished.'

"Of course, it would be best if you could explain all the related sentences in detail, so that we can immediately identify which one is the Shadow Demon."

After hearing this, Idrul stroked his beard and nodded to indicate that this was the way it should be. He then urged Rogers to start explaining quickly to avoid him making a mistake.

The Emerald Record is not only the main principle of alchemy in the previous life, but the profound symbolic descriptions in it can even point directly to the supreme divinity and even the original wisdom of creation.

Since hearing about the Emerald Record, Idrul and Alana have carefully thought about the spiritual teachings behind it, and have both gained a lot from it.

When Rogers decided to join Hilmi College, Idrul immediately found the vice-president and proposed to him that he wanted to engrave these proverbs on a stone tablet and then place it at the gate of Hilmi College.

This plan was approved without any surprise, and currently a well-known alchemist is working overtime to carve it using magic stone as material.

They had wanted to consult Rogers about the spiritual wisdom of this proverb for a long time, but they had not brought themselves to do so out of consideration for their mentor. They also thought that since school had only just started a few days ago, there would always be a chance.

But they didn't expect that this opportunity would come so early, and with such a good reason, which made them all think of the same thing.

Rogers ignored the Shadow Demon, but just looked at the two of them quietly with a very calm look, as if he wanted to see through the two professors in front of him completely.

If they were ordinary students, they might have already begun to nervously tell everything they knew. However, Rogers knew clearly that since these two people could sit in the position of the president of St. Hert Academy, it would be ridiculous if they could not even recognize a revealed shadow demon.

The two professors met Rogers's gaze, and gradually changed from urging him to pretending to be calm. Finally, Idrul, who could no longer bear it, coughed and cleared his throat, and said admiringly:

"Faced with such a dangerous situation, you can still maintain a calm expression. You must be the real Rogers."

He patted Rogers' shoulder, his brows relaxed slightly, revealing a gentle and satisfied smile, his eyes expressing joy and relief.

"Well, only the real Logos would have such a mentality, and I agree with it." Alana echoed Idrul's words with great appreciation.

The face of the Shadow Demon a few steps away gradually became unbelievable. It was just as calm as Rogers, how could it be suddenly seen through by these two great magicians? !

"This is a human being. You still have a lot to learn. Let me teach you well later." Rogers looked at the helpless Shadow Demon with pity.

He picked up the magic book from the ground, transferred the little magic power that had just recovered in his body into it, and then opened the pages of the book towards the Shadow Demon.

"We can make a deal. As long as you promise me that you will no longer harm innocent people and obey my control when necessary, I will ask the two professors to temporarily hand you over to me.

"You can choose not to agree, but you should know the consequences of refusing. Professor Idrul no longer cares about Caspar's safety. He can easily make you disappear in an instant and won't even give you a chance to return to the Sleepless Land."

After saying this, Rogers gave Idrull a look, and the other party cooperated by summoning his oak staff and staring at the Shadow Demon with cold eyes.

"I promise you..." The Shadow Demon gritted his teeth and squeezed out these characters. However, in the next second, a burning sensation suddenly emerged in his lower abdomen, as if it was moving and carving some kind of pattern.

"Then come in."

As soon as Rogers gave the order, the Shadow Demon could no longer control himself and quickly drilled into the magic book. As the book closed, there was no sound anymore.

Idrull and Alana looked at the Shadow Demon subtly, and then looked at Rogers, and couldn't help but recall the scene when many deans found Rogers and asked him to transfer to another hospital.

At that time, Rogers said earnestly: Integrity is a person's lifeline, the foundation of all values, and the noblest thing I can maintain.

Since the Shadow Demon reflected Rogers's image, it could not help but learn Rogers's integrity, but this integrity actually harmed itself, which is really sad.

"I know the school is definitely not willing to hand over the Shadow Demon to me, but based on my contribution to this incident, as well as the credits and achievements I will receive in the future, I believe the two professors should be happy to facilitate this, right?"

After Rogers put away the magic book, he spoke to the two people beside him in a questioning tone.

Idrull stroked his beard, looked at Alana, and smiled to indicate that there was of course no problem. They could easily hear what kind of benefits Rogers promised in his words, and a harmless shadow demon could indeed be barely suppressed by the two of them working together.

As for future research and experiments related to the Shadow Demon, I believe that an upright student like Rogers will not be stingy in hiding them.

"It's getting late. Let me take you home. I'll pick you up tomorrow after class to discuss linguistics-related knowledge." Alana took the initiative to hold Rogers' hand and teleported out of the tree house without giving Idrul any more reaction.

The stars are twinkling hard in the boundless night sky, but unfortunately they are ruthlessly obscured by the silver light of the crescent moon, and appear very dim.

Rogers said goodbye to Professor Alana with the magic book in his hand, turned around and opened the door of his lighted dormitory. He knew that Elena and Lufia were waiting for him inside.

"You're back so early." Elina was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, reading "Succubus Research". After hearing the sound, she looked up at Rogers and said.

Lufia curled up on the sofa like a cat, seemingly taking a nap.

"There was an accident." Rogers waved his hand and responded tiredly.
