From the fourth floor onwards, traps have been laid in the winding eerie staircase, just like the original corridors, and the ghosts are no longer just smoke demons, but many other species have been added.

"Are you walking so fast to chase Alice?"

Alina took the candy from a crimson goblin, followed Rogus who was speeding up, and asked in an inexplicable tone.

Rogers didn't reply, first, he knew that unless this kind of question was explained clearly, no matter how he replied, it would not be beneficial, and second, there were so many requests that there was no longer a need to answer such a question.

And it is impossible to explain it clearly, and it is related to his most important secret.

The ghosts on the sides of the three of them gathered more and more as they walked, and the traps under their feet would be skillfully dodged by the two of them with Rufia in their hands, and the various mechanisms issued by the walls would be handled by these diligent ghosts.

"What if it were me? Would you do the same? Alina pondered for a moment as she ascended the stairs, as if she had guessed something, and then asked again.

"Yes." Rogers replied without hesitation this time.

Even if Alina wasn't the saint who saved the world, he would definitely do it.

Although the first thing that came to his mind was that the [Prophetic Bonus] was extremely important and could be of great help to him.

But when he thought about the relationship between the two of them in the future, he also didn't understand whether he could subconsciously answer so firmly for pure interests.

Alina watched Rogers' reaction carefully, and then the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and a bright arc rippled out, outlining a charming smile.

"You should smile a lot like this, it's so much more pleasing to the eye than the usual cold face." Rogers looked at it and commented very seriously.

However, with his words, Alina's face became much calmer, and her posture became a little more impatient.

"Well, that's the expression......" Rogers shook his head slightly and sighed.

"What about me? Will Rutgers do the same? Lufia noticed that the two seemed to be about to start arguing again, and quickly interrupted Rogus, who wanted to continue speaking, and asked.

She didn't understand what Rogers and Alinor were talking about, but it sounded important, and she would continue to write them down in her notebook later.

She had begun to feel that the conversation between the two friends might be better than the novels circulating at school.

"Yes." Rogers rubbed the white tiger hood that Rufia was wearing, after all, he was able to be so leisurely now, only occasionally encountering some small tricks, rather than actual targeted conspiracies, but it was all the credit of Prince Reyred.

Even if it is only based on past promises and in order to reduce the pressure of the future, he will take good care of Rufia.

The three of them walked for a while, and then they saw a large group of students in different costumes in front of them.

From time to time, several goblins would appear and harass the crowd, and occasionally the magical glow of their response would light up.

People were cautiously scouting their feet and walls for an unannounced attack.

"Luo ...... The chief of the Demon King Academy is here! ”

Some students turned back to investigate, and saw Rogers walking up quickly with a group of ghosts, shouting warning in horror.

As more people looked back, the crowd immediately became chaotic and noisy, and many people began to run forward regardless of it, triggering many traps due to mistakes.

Wooden stakes, stone hammers, and various elemental magic streams collided back and forth, making them even more panicked.

As the panic intensified, the students pushed and squeezed each other, their steps hurried and chaotic, and they kept rushing upward, as if they were one step slower and they would be swallowed up by the torrent of ghosts carried by Rutgers.

[The Joker laughs at this, expecting you to walk a little faster.] 】

Seeing the scene ahead, Rogers asked in a complicated tone:

"How far has my image evolved in school? Why do they think I'm going to attack them? ”

When he first came to school, his enthusiastic classmates still wanted to mingle with him when they saw him, but now they are completely reversed.

"Calm down! Rogers Breed is our classmate! It's not a confrontational race either! You don't need to panic! ”

The Third Prince's reprimand made everyone slowly regain their composure, but they all couldn't help but move closer in the direction of the Third Prince, people were obviously not believing the Third Prince's words, but trusting his identity.

"Let's go." Rogers didn't want to delay here and continued to climb the stairs.

When they walked to the students who were gathered together, they consciously made way for them, and many of them kept leaning towards the wall with tense expressions.

"Rogers-san's envoy is very proficient in spells."

The Third Prince looked at Rutgers, who was surrounded by several shadows, and praised him sincerely, as if he had never sent Edith to stop Rutgers.

"Thank you for the compliment." Rutgers also sincerely thanked him as he passed the steps where the Third Prince was.

Then he walked forward without looking back, and the goblins who had attacked the crowd were unusually quiet, all following or watching Rogus disappear quickly to the end of the stairs.

Ascending to the fifth floor, and about to step up the steps to the sixth floor, Alina looked at Rogers with a solemn expression, "I ...... when I wanted to go home."

Rogers didn't stop when he heard this, but there was a little thought on his face.

When St. Herte's students return home, the school doesn't provide teleportation magic to help, not that the school is stingy, but simply doesn't have so many detailed orientation coordinates.

Therefore, they will inevitably experience bumps in the carriage and horses, and it is normal to occasionally encounter some bandits or cultists on the way.

Coupled with the strength that Rogus had just shown, the strength of these bandits or cultists might also increase accordingly.

"Don't worry, the family will definitely send someone to escort us." Rogers replied unconcernedly.

【The gods of the bottomless pit expect you to hold more living sacrifices.】 】

He silently erased the pop-up window, as a law-abiding nobleman, he never wanted to deliberately engage in any messy sacrificial rituals.

And these gods don't even give a promise, and if there is no benefit, it is impossible to do it.

When the three of them came to the turning platform between the sixth and seventh floors, they felt that it was much wider than before.

The platform was covered with a thick layer of mist that reached the ankles, and this fog was strangely compact, cruising and wandering close to the ground, like a lost ghost, exuding a heavy smell of decay.

At the end of the countertop, in front of the staircase leading to the seventh floor, stands a huge old tree with hideous branches.

Its dead branches extend in different directions, some rising high, others hanging low, intricately intertwined, like a giant spider's web, giving people a sense of twisting and tangling.

The trees were covered with a twisted layer of living vines, twisted and coiled like tentacles, sometimes wriggling, sometimes fangs and claws.

The most eye-catching thing is the two horizontal cracks in the center of the trunk that shine with a strange green light, like the eyes of this treacherous old tree.

"Hello Chief!"

The moment Derrick saw Rogers, he immediately greeted him and quickly stepped forward.

The college uniform on his body looked very messy, and there was a bruise on his face that looked like he had been whipped by a whip, and the whole person looked extremely embarrassed.

In addition to him, there were Alice, Eunice, and the other two students of the Holy Lady House on the turning stage.

One of the students was lying on the ground gasping for breath, as if he had been injured, and beside him, Alice was spreading her hands outstretched, and her palms were glowing warmly, presumably healing her with a bonus.

"You're lucky to be able to follow the saint every time." Rogers looked at Delick, who wasn't dressed up like the rest of his classmates, and quipped.

When Delik heard the words, he immediately clenched his fists and pounded his chest solemnly: "You are my chief!" ”

After Rogers indicated that he was joking, Derick relaxed, and then he took the initiative to tell the current situation:

"That old tree is probably a type of dryad, as long as you get close to it, you will be knocked back by multiple vines, and if we don't defeat it, we won't be able to climb the seventh floor at all."

The seventh floor of the spiral tower is the top floor, which is also the end of the race.

In fact, according to the rules, they didn't need to defeat the dryad at all, they just needed to pass through its attack and step on the steps to the seventh floor.

But according to Alice's temperament, she can't leave her companions to reach the top alone, but wants everyone to clear the level together.

Rogers knows this, so he will always be unhurried, if Alice can ignore everyone and go first, there will be no danger next.

"Rutgers, Alice is a saint after all, there are other students here, I hope you don't show too close to maintain the dignity of the saint."

Eunice, dressed as a black witch, also walked over for some reason and whispered a warning.

"No problem." Rogers smiled and happily agreed, holding the book in his hand, feeling the hint from the book's trembling light.

The real Younis, though a little vain, has her own perseverance, and she would never say such words after apologizing to Rutgers.

The one in front of him is already Younis, who has been invaded by evil spirits unconsciously.

Originally, according to the normal plot, it should have been the third prince's team after catching up with the saint, Edith, who was possessed by evil spirits, would attack the saint, and then when the angry third prince wanted to attack Edith, he was stopped by Alice.

It's just that at the moment of Edith's move, the saint noticed the breath of the evil spirit.

However, the consequence of this is that the evil spirit took advantage of the situation to invade the spirit of the Holy Maiden at the moment when the Holy Maiden was exposed due to her resistance to the attack of the Third Prince.

In the end, under the confrontation of the [Protector Bonus], the evil spirit will be gradually worn out, and Alice will also fall into a coma, and she will not wake up until many days later.

Although there will be no dead line in this plot, it will also hang a long-term debuff, which will seriously delay Alice's strength growth.

As for how the evil spirit escaped the school, and when Alice was attacked, the school did not intervene in time, the game did not explicitly state, but there was a lot of speculation and interpretation in the forum.

First of all, the race of this evil spirit is a succubus, and it is a mist succubus with a complex composition.

Succubus is a general term for a demon race with parasitic attributes, she was first thought to be a kind of devil, and later people gradually discovered that the Discorded Abyss also has their figures, and some of the "succubi" of the Discorded Abyss can also switch between human form and fog.

One of the biggest speculations about the succubus' presence in St. Helte is that the succubus first parasitized a demon, and then the devil was summoned and brought it with him.

Then the biggest possibility that the school did not intervene in time, that is, this accident was directly regarded as a test for the saint.

After all, low-level succubi can manipulate spirits or squeeze energy at most, and they can always recuperate after that.

It's just that the Holy Maiden's [Protector Bonus] and the immortal trait of the Fallen will forcibly burst out the potential to wipe out the succubus, which will unpredictably cause a period of weakness and hang a debuff.

"No, I understand Miss Eunice's distress." Rogers stopped Delik, who was trying to speak for him, and nodded kindly at Eunice.

He didn't want to directly prevent the next crisis against Alice, but thought about how to make Alice still understand that some "kindness" and "hesitation" are not good things according to the plot, and then gain mental growth.

But before Rogers could think about it, perhaps the succubus sensed the dangerous aura emanating from him, and a hidden magic power brewed in his hand, and quickly walked behind Alice, who was performing healing privileges on the students.

"I'll have to do that." Rogers softly brushed away the palm that Alina had just grabbed at his arm, and didn't have time to pay attention to the other party's expression at the moment.

[Enlightenment Bonus] accelerated his thinking, quickly sorted out the next plan, and at the same time, he also took out a blood storage fruit from Idrul and pinched it in his sleeve pocket.

"Stop!"

After Rogers' shout, Eunice, who was close to Alice, instantly showed a panic on her face, and the hot magic in her palm could no longer be hidden, and she used her hand as a knife to slash towards Alice's neck fiercely.

Thorn -

With the sound of the fabric tearing, hot blood splattered on Alice's face, and she watched in disbelief as her friend Eunice attacked her, only to be blocked by Rogers, who arrived quickly.

"Quick! Use your perks to imprison and seal Eunice first! Rogers anxiously grabbed Eunice's wrists and shouted at Alice.

"No, she's just controlled, and the cage bonus will hurt ......"

When Alice explained in a panic and quickly summoned her magic to cast a spell to help, Eunice directly pinned Rogus to the ground, and her palm sank deep into the blood-stained cumbersome dress, and an even more majestic blood sprayed out of Rogus's abdomen.

Eunice's eyes were full of doubt, as if it hadn't yet realized what was going on.

[The laughing artist spits on your acting skills, and he thinks that this excessive amount of bleeding is a big failure.] 】
