Chapter Forty-Three: The Shadow Demon of the Nest
On the long table in front of the sofa in the living room stands an intricately carved brass candlestick with three candles as smooth as jade.
Perhaps it was because of Rogers' action of entering the door that the three flames that emitted bright light kept shaking from side to side.
Alina's face was originally illuminated by a warm yellow light, but then the swaying of light and shadow added a slight blur to her expression.
She didn't respond to the Shadow Demon's question, but just kept her face calm, frowning at the Shadow Demon's appearance that resembled a saint, but had the same hair color as Rogers.
"Are you weak?! Why not talk back! ”
The Shadow Demon was stared at by Alina, and his voice had a slight charm of lust and guilt, as if he was forcibly emboldening himself.
"You can't wait to bring a halfling ghost into your home before you find the succubus, and if Earl Braider knows about this, he must be extremely worried about the continuation of the family's bloodline."
Still ignoring the shadow demon's noise, Alina glanced at Rogus faintly, and said in a cold tone.
At this time, the height of the Shadow Demon was only about a meter long, and it had been suspended in the air since it jumped out of the magic guide book, and it did feel like a halfling ghost.
Rogers sighed when he heard this, and he patted the cover of the magic guide book vigorously, but unfortunately there was still no response, and he didn't know when it would come to its senses so that it could seriously complete the task of imprisoning the Shadow Demon.
Then he didn't want to explain anything to Alina, after all, he didn't feel that obligation, and there was no need to report carefully to the other party what he had done, so he just said casually: "This guy is a shadow demon, not a halfling ghost." ”
Hearing this, Alina put the "Succubus Study" aside, and she deliberately did not want to disturb Rufia in the middle of the heart, and slowly got up from the sofa, and then walked towards the Shadow Demon.
The Shadow Demon wanted to continue to question Alina's shameless behavior at night, which was rude and undignified, and was still in the boy's house at night.
Seeing the increasingly cold eyes of the other party and the approaching distance, it felt like it was a prey locked by a natural enemy, and it couldn't help but feel a lot of timidity in its heart, and subconsciously hid behind Rogers.
Rogers watched with interest the Shadow Demon's reaction, thinking to himself that this guy didn't have the courage to learn the Holy Maiden at all, and he didn't know how this timid appearance that he hid when he met Alina had evolved.
Then, when he saw Alina's unkind gaze gradually shift from the shadow demon behind him to himself, he immediately activated the contract and forcibly moved the shadow demon in front of him.
The Shadow Demon glared fiercely at Rogers, and as it got closer, its tone took on a trill, and it yelled at Alina, "I warn you! Don't come any closer!
"What do you want to do? You can't do it, do you?! I'm the Great Shadow Demon! When I break free, I'm sure I'll kick your ass hard! ”
Rogers pinched his chin when he saw this, his face subtle.
I was ashamed that I was still very jealous of this shadow demon, and I didn't expect that one Alina could make it panic so much.
It not only captured the emotions of the saint, but also chose to reflect her brave, upright and intelligent self, but she behaved so badly, it was really a good start for nothing.
Alina was stunned for a moment, and kept sweeping between the Shadow Demon and Rogers, a sneering sneer on the corner of her mouth.
"So it's not the saint who reflects it, it's you.
"Yes, in the whole of St. Herte, I'm afraid you are the only one who can summon the negativity of a large group of magicians.
"Then in the process of preying on emotions, this shadow demon should have instinctively devoured the emotions of many saints, and it was forcibly affected by the saint's spiritual power to become the current nondescript appearance.
"Since it's all evolved into a cursed creature pointed at you, why don't you uproot it quickly, or do you want to wait to be usurped?"
In a few words, Alina sorted out the causes and consequences of the birth of the Shadow Demon, and her tone revealed undisguised killing intent at the end.
She stared at the Shadow Demon's appearance, and the more she looked at it, the more uncomfortable it became, and she felt like she wanted to remove the spell for Rogers.
"Don't! I've usurped Rogus and failed! No more threats can be made to him! The Shadow Demon hurriedly pleaded, and then turned to Rogus pitifully:
"If she hates me, I can try to hide a little, but if I can't, you can send me to Alice to please her, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely come back to see you, please......"
The Shadow Demon's eyes were filled with mist, and it bit its lower lip lightly, and its expression was full of mist and pleading, as if it contained endless pleading and longing.
When it first agreed to Rutgers's control, its first thought was to learn from Rogus to deceive first, and then run away when it had the opportunity.
However, by mistake, Rogers successfully launched the [Riches Bonus], and really controlled it firmly in Rutgers's hands.
It struggled to convince itself to accept this dark reality, and before it turned around, it met Alina, a malicious intervener.
"Think Alice! You loved her so much! Alice wouldn't want Alina to do this to me!
"After all, I was born from your mingling! Alice is more or less aware of my existence, too! If there's no room for me here, you can give me to Alice!
"She's so happy to see me! And as long as I match you! You might even be able to get back to your old relationship! Isn't that exactly what you've been longing for?!
"And ......"
Seeing that Rogus didn't show the slightest desire to protect it, the Shadow Demon's expression became more anxious and helpless, and words begging for mercy poured out like a cannon.
"Shut up!"
A suppressed cold cry instantly extinguished the Shadow Demon's gushing, and frightened her with a large string of tears coming out of her eyes.
"That said, isn't the atmosphere a little weird now?" Rogers scratched his head, feeling as if he was in the middle of some third-rate family ethics drama.
"Also, I must warn you that I have no desire to return to my old relationship with Alice, so don't misunderstand that."
Although the illusion that the Shadow Demon gave him was indeed quite beautiful, it was unfortunately not destined to be the path he was looking for.
After hearing this explanation, the Shadow Demon's eyes gradually opened to the limit, and his expression changed from frightened to dazed, and then from dazed to angry, as if in the blink of an eye, he forgot that he was still in a life-and-death crisis.
