But as Rogers got closer, a tremendous pressure came upon it like a huge mountain, causing it to forget what it was doing for a moment.

That was the suppression from rank, and the breath from the gods of the bottomless pit.

"You... you were also summoned by Saint Herte?" The little demon's eyes widened, and his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.

"No! You don't need to answer my question! I'm so sorry! I dared to ask you without your permission!"

After asking subconsciously, the little demon immediately realized how rude he was. He actually dared to ask a chosen one of the gods to answer his questions!

This is so rude!

It immediately thrust the steel fork into its own chest and clenched its teeth to prevent itself from uttering a cry of pain that would be annoying to the Chosen One.

Rogers looked at the little demon's monologue and bizarre actions with a puzzled look on his face. He had originally thought that he could defeat the other party first and then force a contract with him to lead the way.

Then he thought of the fact that there was a group of gods from the Bottomless Pit watching him from behind. As a creature of the Bottomless Pit, the little demon must have noticed this.

"Well, first of all, I am a kind human being, unlike evil guys like you." Rogers warned seriously.

"Yes! Kind human sir!" The little demon immediately bowed his head and agreed repeatedly. In his heart, he admired this chosen sir even more.

Since its birth, no devil has ever been seen who can lie to such an extent.

"Very good. Then, can you take me to the Spiral Tower?" Rogers waved his hand to indicate that the other party did not need to go through so many formalities. He wanted to ask if the other party could find the way in the fog.

"This will be my supreme honor!" The little demon said nothing more and immediately took Rogers towards the spiral tower.

Along the way to the Spiral Tower, the number of evil creatures leading Rogers continued to increase.

Some of them had steel forks stuck in their chests like little demons, some were translucent evil spirits that kept slapping themselves, and some were little devils that had their horns broken and their wings pierced.

The other part, who had not behaved rudely, kept praising Rogers with all kinds of flattering words, loudly praising his kindness and goodness, while wiping the dust off the road in front of Rogers.

Rogers had initially advised them not to do so, but they seemed to feel that if they did not show their courtesy they would be wiped out by the bottomless pit.

Especially with the magic book beside them setting an example, they work much more diligently.

"I don't know if the instructors have noticed this. I'll just attribute it all to the magic book when the time comes."

Rogers rubbed his forehead helplessly and thought so in his heart.

Elina arrived long before Rogers approached the Spiral Tower.

When she and Rufia, who was wearing a white tiger doll costume, saw a bunch of evil creatures emerge from the fog, they both thought that the rules of the competition had changed.

Then the two of them quickly saw Rogers, who was guarded by the evil creatures, and the evil creatures' respectful nodding and bowing faces.

Chapter 67: Go stop Rogers

At the bottom of the spiral tower, waiting for their companions to arrive were not only Erina and Lufia, but also a few people wearing uniforms from other academies.

They only saw a large group of strange evil creatures pouring out from the mist, and Logos surrounded by the evil creatures.

Somehow, they didn't feel anything was wrong with this strange sight.

"If I remember correctly, Summoning and Servant Magic is a course for next semester, right?" A student dressed as a vampire asked around him in confusion.

"Hehe, maybe even the devil admires Rogers's bad character and chooses to follow him." The student, who was covered from head to toe with white cloth, leaving only his eyes exposed, replied jokingly in a low voice.

“The teachers give Rogers extra lessons every day, so it’s no surprise that he can master the service spell.

"But he can easily control so many low-level evil creatures. I'm afraid that even His Royal Highness the Third Prince may not be able to achieve such high magic power and mental strength." After the student covered in black robes made some comments, he began to urge the student in white robes: "Use the communication props now to inform the prince of the situation in front of him..."

The evil creatures continued to sing respectful praises. They used human language, with sharp tones, and spoke words such as "kindness" and "benevolence".

Since meeting Rogers, Elena has seen many things from him that broke her values, but the current scene still made her unsure of how to evaluate it.

She pushed the demon mask on her face up to her forehead, looked directly at Rogers who was walking forward, and said, "No need to explain why. I don't want to listen to your nonsense."

Rogers shrugged slightly, glanced at the other people under the tower, and then asked, "Who has entered the tower?"

The moment he spoke, the evil creatures immediately fell silent, and either knelt or crawled behind him obediently.

They could clearly sense the rich aura of Rogers's mark from Elina.

Without giving it much thought, they understood that this was a noble person who had given his body and soul to the Chosen One.

"The Saint entered the tower first with several students from the Saint's Academy, followed by a large group of students led by the Third Prince." After Elina answered, she frowned and stared at the evil creatures kneeling on the ground, wondering what they were concentrating on thinking about.

Rogers nodded when he heard this. The Saint had a special attack against the fallen, so it was normal for her to make rapid progress. The Third Prince also had a strong appeal, so he could easily put together the divination plate for guiding the way.

Although he had a little inferior demon to lead the way at first, he kept encountering evil creatures that came to "surrender" as he moved forward. These guys, perhaps in order to leave a deep impression on him, actually slowed down his pace to some extent.

But this just happened to cater to his idea. If he came too fast, he would have to wait for Alice to enter the tower first.

"Let's go." Rogers gently pushed his monocle with his middle finger, and stepped into the gate of the "Devil's Castle" with Erina and Lufia.

The evil creatures that originally followed Rogers were also blocked outside the door because the range of activities stipulated in their summoning contracts did not include the Spiral Tower.

After they crawled quietly for a while, they all dispersed and continued to perform their original duties.

The corridors in the tower were no longer bright as before, and had become extremely narrow, long and gloomy. The stone walls on both sides were tall, and there were no beautifully framed paintings, but torches inserted diagonally.

The faint firelight illuminated the interweaving shadows on the wall, creating a quiet and heavy feeling.

The further you go inside, the more you feel the chill coming, causing your body temperature to drop.

Rogers and Elina held Lufia between them and led her forward steadily. Occasionally, when Lufia was about to take a step astray, she would be pulled back by one of them.

The tests in the corridor not only require students to constantly use magic to resist the cold, but also contain various trigger traps.

But for Logos and Elina, this can be regarded as a non-existent trouble. The only one who needs to pay attention is Rufia.

It was not until they safely climbed the wide stairs leading to the second floor that the originally thin smoke around them quickly condensed and turned into a floating human figure.

Then the smoke-like ghost suddenly opened its eyes, with a faint green light flashing in its eyes.

When it wanted to scream as before and tried to snatch a candy from a passerby, Rogers slowly turned his head and looked at it with a smile.

At this moment, its originally light and ethereal smoke form solidified, as if time had come to a certain standstill.

The ghost's eyes quickly opened, and its empty, dark mouth slowly closed, and its blurry face slowly revealed an obvious fear and uneasiness.

"It seems that as the books say, the bottomless pit has an extremely strict class system." Elina looked at the ghost's reaction curiously and said in a calm tone.

"This ghost is so stupid~" Lufia touched the ears of her white tiger headgear. She felt that the other party must have been deceived by Roger's costume.

The goblin ignored their comments and quickly knelt on the stairs beside Rogers. It took out a handful of candy from its smoky body with both hands and held it up respectfully.

In addition to the candies, there are also two transparent crystals.

[This is the Smoke Demon offering you everything it has at the moment, in the hope that you will forgive its mistakes.]

After reading the explanation on the pages of the magic book, Rogers skillfully put the candies into his full pockets, and then began to carefully observe the quality of the two spiritual power crystals through the faint firelight.

"Yes, thank you for your generosity."

Seeing that its quality was indeed good, he patted the smoke demon on the shoulder, causing it to change.

After that, the three of them had an extremely smooth journey up the stairs, until Roger's pockets could no longer hold any more spoils, and he gave the excess to Elena and Lufia to help carry.

……

Fourth floor.

The third prince Richard wore a lava-shaped crown and had wings shaped like a dragon.

He arrived at the safe area with a slightly tired look on his face, then looked down at the communication tag in his hand, his expression gradually becoming serious: "A classmate told me that Rogers has already reached the third floor."

"Hasn't he just entered the tower not long ago? How come it's so fast?" Edith, with green paint on his face and fangs in his mouth, asked in amazement.

"I have to catch up with the Saint as soon as possible, so you take the two of them and go stop Rogers together." Richard hesitated for a moment, pointed at two students who were dressed similarly to Edith, and gave the order.

"what?"

Edith opened his mouth slightly and looked at Richard in confusion, wondering if he had heard the instructions wrongly.

Can two ordinary students stop something like Rogers? Does the prince know what he is talking about?

However, under the calm gaze of the prince, he could only grit his teeth and agree, and watched from where he stood as the prince led the others up the stairs leading to the fifth floor.

"For the third prince! We must fight! The longer we can delay, the better!"

Edith clenched his fists and responded in a deep voice. His chest rose and fell, and a fearless light gradually appeared in his pupils, as if he was willing to give everything to fulfill his loyalty.

"But...but what happened to Kaspar...and that student from Morost Institute..."

The student next to him choked, turned his head and stared at the stairs he had just stepped on, his legs began to tremble slightly, and he whispered softly.

When Edith heard this, the expression he had just prepared instantly collapsed, and his face was filled with confusion again.

Chapter 68 A Little Help

On the ancient winding staircase, the sound of footsteps became clearer and clearer, and the smoke and fog in the stairwell became thicker along with the sound.

Edith looked down at the stairs he had just climbed, swallowed hard, and his heartbeat seemed to begin to match the rhythm of his footsteps.

Pairs of dark green eyes emerged densely, and thick smoke kept surging and spreading.

A young man with fluffy silver hair, horns on his head and decent clothes emerged from the green light and smoke.

Seeing this, Edith's muscles tensed and his teeth clenched, and the few words that he had just prepared in his mind disappeared completely.

His face gradually turned pale, his breathing became rapid and irregular, and the little sweat oozing from his forehead reflected his inner uneasiness.

His hands also tightly grasped the hem of his clothes, as if it was the only thing that made him feel safe.

The magic power that was originally used to resist the invasion of cold was also disturbed by his mood, making him feel a chill running through his body and traveling back and forth in his bones. There were also countless cold hands caressing his skin, constantly taking away the little warmth.

At this moment, he probably understood why Caspar would do anything to get close to the third prince, and why Rivers seemed dazed and confused the whole day after being forced to report Rogers.

He was able to climb the stairs so calmly and casually without showing any signs of fatigue. The smoke demons surrounding him did not seem like a test at all, but rather a support for him.

Edith was certain that this situation was definitely not normal!

That’s right, how could a being that could rival the Saint and was often summoned by the Professor be normal…

Rogers went up to the fourth floor and walked in front of Edith. His brows were slightly frowned and his expression became a little strange.

According to the plot, Edith should stay with the third prince and try his best to catch up with the saint.

After all, the other party is responsible for triggering the key plot.

Facing Rogers's gaze, Edith's expression was stiff and his body was tense. He did not dare to use his magic power at all, for fear that Rogers would regard it as a provocation. The same was true for the two people beside him.

The current situation clearly shows that the moment they take action they will probably be suppressed by Rogers in an instant and become clowns in a farce.

The Third Prince certainly did not intend for them to be able to truly stop Rogers, he only wanted to delay Rogers' progress.

But Rogers's strength has far exceeded everyone's expectations, including the third prince's expectations!

Anyone who can use the Servant Spell to this extent is already on a different level than them.

Rogers paused for a moment, glanced sideways at the magic book hanging beside him, and seeing that there was no extra reaction, he said no more and simply walked past them and prepared to move on.

Elina's eyes were calm, and she ignored them. Only Lufia looked at them curiously, but when she saw that her two companions were silent, she no longer had the intention of greeting them.

Silence is the greatest contempt.

However, Edith was extremely grateful for the other party's contempt, and he even felt a sense of relief and joy for escaping a great disaster.

But in the next second, a hand gently rested on his shoulder, causing his scalp to instantly go numb and his teeth to chatter uncontrollably.

"Are you afraid of me? Don't worry, I'm not a devil summoned by the school. As a classmate, there's no need to be so nervous." Rogers spoke in a friendly tone, trying to ease Edith's negative emotions, and then continued:

"You must have been sent by the Third Prince to stop me, right? Otherwise, why are you just standing here quietly?

"I understand your complicated feelings. If you have a choice, who would want to be forced to duel with classmates on this carnival night?

“If I remember correctly, your family should be from the imperial court aristocracy, and generations have served as ministers in the court.

"You have such an important identity, but the Third Prince makes you do such a terrible thing. It's really lamentable."

He stopped beside Edith, his words were gentle and considerate, as if he felt very sorry for the unfair situation he was facing.

Then, he seemed to be completely in Edith's shoes and continued:

"But what will happen if you just ignore the order and let me go? You also know the character of the Third Prince. Although he will not punish you on the surface, and may even pretend to reward you, he will eventually alienate and exclude you.

"How about this, I'll help you put on a show so that you can have a good reason to escape this trouble, as long as you agree to a small request of mine.

"Just as I'm helping you now, how about you give me a little help to escape from troubles later?"

When Edith heard this, his breathing seemed to stagnate. He could sense a soundproofing barrier rising up around him, and he also understood what was hidden in Rogers' words.
