Chapter 357
Negri had learned that a powerful spirit was hiding within the institute, and since Roger didn't hide his group's whereabouts, Negri was able to easily guess the general identity of that spirit.
Not too long ago, Negri obtained a book called [Theory of Spirit Summoning Rituals] from the Mobis Institute's library, which described how a person could draw out their own spirit.
Through Roger's traces, Negri was able to find the sealed classroom, as well as learn about what happened ten years ago.
There was a student named Ferde, who was most likely the same as Roger in that he was extremely talented in spirit sense, allowing him to see many things that others couldn't. He seemed to have entered the Grand Library and obtained [Theory of Spirit Summoning Rituals].
Ferde then began to create a ritual for his own spirit. This was also when the Mana Banquet had been held. The Mana Fetus had triggered a Mana Tide. Ferde's newborn spirit had survived its weak period and become extraordinarily powerful in the Mana Tide.
At the time, Michael was also enjoying the mana tide, so when Ferde's spirit began to steal lives, he wasn't able to stop it right away, killing an entire classroom of 18 people, including the Ferde who drew him out and took the name Ferde.
Ferde tortured and killed those 18 people and obtained power from them, but was still sealed away by Michael in the end. It wasn't that Michael didn't want to kill Ferde, but rather that Ferde possessed a strange characteristic. His foundation existed in another dimension, appearing in the real world as nothing more than a manifestation of himself. If he didn't remove his foundation, Ferde would never be able to be killed.
At the time, Michael wasn't an idiot, but he wasn't powerful enough to kill a spirit from another dimension, so he could only seal him inside the classroom through a ritual. When he was nearing the end of his lifespan, he had also thought of attacking Ferde, but because he noticed some issues with drawing out spirits, he chose to use the fly reincarnation ritual.
Originally, Michael had intended to wait until he had enough time to slowly study Ferde, but now, everything had been taken over by Negri.
At this moment, Ferde could sense that the mark he left on Roger's body through the ritual was being infused with a large amount of mana. Borrowing this mana, he could easily bypass the seal and take over Roger's body.
It doesn't matter if it's a trap or not. Anyway, to me, the worst outcome is just being sealed again. Field quickly made up his mind and used the Mana to bypass the seal.
Originally, Ferd had intended to tempt Roger to quickly mature and help him break his seal, but this was a bit difficult. Even though Michael was old and muddle-headed, Roger was truly unreliable.
Roger always thought himself to be clever and cared about the so-called dignity of a noble. He would easily get flustered at crucial moments, which made it difficult for him to achieve anything great. With all these flaws, Roger would not have been able to enter the Eye of Ferde if it weren't for the fact that his spiritual sense was really good.
And now, the person who injected the mana into the seal clearly understood spirits very well, to the point that this mana could be directly used by Ferde. Almost instantly, Ferde broke through the seal and arrived by Roger's side.
While escorting Roger, Brewer also sensed something amiss. Negri's final words gave him an ominous premonition, but Roger's current state was no different from a dead man. Regardless of whether he removed his restraints or put the chains back on him, he didn't react at all.
Would a piece of trash like him be a threat to them? Brewer wasn't sure, so he could only focus even more to ensure that Roger wouldn't cause any problems.
However, the problem came sooner than he expected. As soon as Brewer dragged Roger out of the Mobis Institute, he sensed something bad flying towards him from afar.
The terrifying presence caused Brewer's hairs to stand on end. Circulating the mana in his body, he cast a simple detection spell and saw a different scene in front of Brewer's eyes.
A monster whose upper body was naked while the lower part of his body was completely covered in a flowing black substance was coiling around Roger. The monster glanced at him briefly before entering Roger's mouth like a liquid.
Ferd's body appeared to be incorporeal as he was sucked into Roger's mouth bit by bit before finally entering Roger's body. Roger lowered his head while his body exuded a faint black aura of misfortune.
"What a deep despair, how …" Roger looked up with a twisted smile on his face: "How delightful!!!"
The intense sense of danger left Brewer with no time to think and instinctively rolled to the side.
Splatter …
Blood splattered everywhere, dripping onto Brewer's face. The lower half of the enforcer's body also collapsed, his eyes widened as he stared at Brewer, then turned dim and lifeless.
Roger casually wiped the blood off his face, causing his face to look even more twisted under the contrast of the blood. The metal chain that bound his hands had now been snapped in half and was now covered in blood.
In that split second just now, Roger had broken the middle of the chain and swung it like a weapon, the immense force of the chain had directly snapped the enforcer's body in half.
"Roger really is a Demon Apostle!" There were quite a few people in the institute who were watching the commotion. After seeing this, they were both excited and fearful. Mystics and the like weren't very common, so they had at most heard of rumors and rumors that made it hard for them to distinguish the truth from the lies.
"Puny insect, hand over your body to me. A coward like you doesn't deserve to live" inside Roger's body, Ferd spoke to the silent Roger.
"Even you are deceiving me? Senior Ferd " Roger's voice did not fluctuate in the slightest, but it contained a deep sense of despair. For a person who had always believed himself to be infallible, the greatest blow to him was to destroy everything he relied on and make him realize that those who had treated him well in the past had all treated him like a fool.
"Do I even need to explain this to you? Even an idiot should have a bottom line, "Ferd mocked Roger. He had been sealed away for ten years not long after he was born, and now that he had broken free, he naturally wasn't willing to continue pretending to be a good guy.
"That's right, I'm just such an idiot" Roger fell completely silent. He didn't resist Ferd's invasion of his body in the slightest. Everything about Roger had been completely destroyed. His family, his companions, his pride, everything had been destroyed. He no longer had the courage to continue living.
"How smooth. As expected, you really are a piece of trash, Roger" Ferd wasn't surprised. Field wasn't surprised. Back then, if Roger didn't rely on his family's connections and his own talent, he would have been nothing but a piece of trash from head to toe.
"It's still a bit troublesome" Ferd wasn't surprised. At this point, Ferde had almost completely taken over Roger's body. However, even though Roger was a piece of trash, he was still a talented piece of trash. His spirit sense allowed him to retain the last sliver of control over his body, and removing that sliver of control would require Roger's cooperation.
