Chapter 354

"Hm? You've found a host already? " Negri could sense Negary to a certain degree. This maggot was a product of a magical ritual, so it carried a bit of mana and unique abilities.

Furthermore, Negary was also a powerful mage with a powerful soul and spirit, so after taking over a host's body, he could choose to disturb others.

"After a bit of investigation, aside from myself, there are four other people alive underground, so Negary must have taken over one of them" Negri didn't mind this at all. If that person could resist Negary's bewitchment and instead absorb Negary's maggot, it would actually be a good thing for him.

Negri walked into the prison without paying any attention to the two people who had fainted, instead walked through the prison passage and arrived at Negary's laboratory. After carefully observing everything inside, he returned to the passage and woke Quirl up.

This woman was a spy sent by a certain mage from the House of Mages, her mana came entirely from a certain type of mana food, and she only knew two spells, one was to conceal her presence, and the other was the blade of light in her hand.

Having just woken up from unconsciousness, Quirl's gaze was a bit blank, but then she focused her gaze and saw Negri not too far away.

"You are …" Quirl half-sat up, silently placing her hand on her shoe, where she hid a thin needle coated with poison, which could be used to suppress enemies or commit suicide when necessary.

"I have to thank you, if you hadn't interrupted my ritual, I wouldn't have succeeded so quickly" at this moment, Negri's temperament was exactly the same as Negary's, after all, he had taken over Negary's skin.

Vitality mana was still flowing through the skin, modifying it. At some point, this body would also fuse with the skin to form a cocoon, which would then nurture Negri's true body.

This method was a spell that Negri had created based on his knowledge of Mysticism, Mequik's origin of life, as well as the abnormal biological formation that Negary had set up, called [Divine Fetus Reincarnation].

"Surpass the past and welcome a better self, this is the true meaning of Negri" Negri clearly understood this: "I used my past body as the mother cocoon to nurture my new self, making myself more perfect step by step."

With the help of the outer shell, the pregnancy this time should be very fast. Negri's first Divine Fetus was about to be born. Thinking about it, it was a little strange to conceive himself.

"You are Negary!" Quirl's eyes widened. According to the information she had gathered, Negary's magic ritual still needed some time, and it could only be completed with the help of the magic tide brought by the Magic Banquet. How could it be completed now?

But now that the younger version of Negary was standing before her, she had no choice but to believe it.

"Sure enough, it feels good to be young." Negri reached out and caressed Quirl's pretty face. This caused goosebumps to appear on Quirl's skin. In order to investigate Negary's information, she knew that Negary was hiding his true colors.

Under that perfect, good-natured appearance, Negary was a complete pervert, especially when he was old. He liked to skin handsome people, regardless of whether they were men or women, and collect their skin.

Naturally, this kind of hobby was only average among the upper echelons of the Academic City. After all, Negary only looked for people without any influence.

Obviously, when Negri caressed Quirl's face, she had the feeling that he liked her skin.

"As expected, through these hints, she has confirmed that I am Negary without a doubt." Although he behaved like a pervert, Negri's mind remained calm as he continued to think.

Negri had observed Negary, as well as Negary's workshop, which was filled with skin. Through some traces, Negri roughly understood some of Negary's habits, so it wasn't too hard to imitate Negary.

After implanting the first impression that he was the young Negary into Quirl's head, she would know and imagine everything else, such as the side effects of the magical ritual, which would make it easier for Negri to disguise himself as Negary.

The disguise is only temporary, which also lowers the chances of me being exposed. Negri recalled Negary, who was currently possessing a human body. In order to revive, he would definitely hunt down the five sacrificial offerings, which would cut off that connection by claiming that his previous identity was killed by a monster.

"Of course, I still need someone to take the blame for the academy's strange happenings" The corner of Negri's eyes slightly moved down, noticing the still unconscious Roger. At this point, Negri could clearly sense Roger's abnormality.

He had specially mixed corpse oil to allow Roger to fuse with the abilities of the four spirits, but there were still five markings on Roger's body, which meant that there was another powerful spirit hiding in this academy.

"The temple is small, but the wind is strong, while the pond is shallow." Negri shook his head. This time, there would naturally be someone to take the blame, so he would have Roger and the spirit behind him take the blame.

After confirming his plan, Negri grabbed Quirl's face and slowly said: "However, now that I've regained my youth, I don't need your skin anymore, but I still need to pay you back for almost causing my ritual to fail"

A surge of mana was manifested under Negri's control into a spell and applied to Quirl's body.

"Go and announce my return" Negri let go of Quirl and pushed her into the sewers. Negri had already planted a hex on her body, which would constantly drain her vitality, making one day of it equal to one year of someone else.

From this hex, others would be able to infer Negri's immense control over vitality mana, which would further confirm that Negary had already completed the reincarnation ritual. After all, no one would have such a high level of understanding towards vitality mana without going through the reincarnation ritual.

Negri then found the security guard in another sewer. After obtaining mana, Negri had a better method of controlling people, so he implanted a new set of memories into the security guard.

Roger was the mastermind behind all of this. He had lured everyone into the sewers in order to perform an evil ritual and sacrifice to the demon. Everything that had happened in the academy recently, including the terrorist attacks, had all been caused by Roger. In short, he had pushed all the blame onto Roger.

Furthermore, Roger's previous meeting place for the Anomaly Elimination Squad's meeting was a classroom rumored to contain demons, which was also evidence that Roger had been bewitched by the demon there.

Because of this, when Roger finally woke up from the backlash of his failed ritual, he found himself tied up on a wooden cart. Around him was the academy's main square, with several pieces of wood being placed next to the cart. The students around him were looking at him with disgust, some of them even shouting for him to be burned to death.

The school guard who joined their party before was standing next to him with a proud expression, telling the students the story of how he defeated the Demon Apostle Roger.
