Soul Of Negary Chapter 356 - Vol5 Ch26: Berserk

Chapter 356: Vol5 Ch26: Berserk

Translator: La0o9

‘Negary’ already knew about the existence of a powerful spirit inside the inst.i.tute, coupled with the fact that Roger’s group never really concealed their movements in the past made it very easy for ‘Negary’ to generally infer the spirit’s ident.i.ty.

Not too long ago, ‘Negary’ found a book called [Theory of Spirit Summoning Rituals] from the Mobis Inst.i.tute’s library, which depicted in detail the method to draw out one’s own spirit.

Thanks to Roger, ‘Negary’ was able to find the sealed cla.s.sroom as well as the events of 10 years ago.

There used to be a student called Field who was most likely exactly the same as Roger, gifted with a naturally potent spirit sense, capable of seeing many things that others couldn’t. He seemed to have entered the Grand Library and obtained the [Theory of Spirit Summoning Rituals] from it.

Afterwards, Field began to conduct a ritual to create his own spirit, which happened to coincide with the day of the previous Mana Banquet. As the Mana Fetus released the mana tide throughout the city, the newborn spirit was allowed to bathe within the mana tide, directly skipping past its weakest period to become exceptionally powerful.

At the time, Michael was also enjoying the mana of the mana tide, so he wasn’t able to immediately put a stop to Field’s spirit as it started its ma.s.sacre, ending up with a full cla.s.sroom of 18 people being killed, including the student Field, after which his name was stolen by the spirit.

Field didn’t just kill the 18 people, but tortured them to death, which granted him his unique power, only to end up being sealed away by Michael anyways. It wasn’t that Michael didn’t want to kill Field, but Field had a unique characteristic that made it difficult to do so. His foundations existed in a different aspect of reality, the appearance he showed in the real world was nothing but the form, so without dissecting his foundations, it was essentially impossible to kill Field.

Michael wasn’t quite brain dead yet at that time, but he lacked the power to kill a spirit in a different aspect of reality, so he settled with sealing the spirit away within the cla.s.sroom through the ritual. When his lifespan was about to run out, he also considered using Field, but when he realized the hidden issues of creating a spirit, he instead went with the fly reincarnation ritual.

Originally, Michael had intended to wait until he finished his reincarnation and have some time before he slowly studied Field, but now everything had been taken over by ‘Negary’.

At this point, Field could sense that the brand he had left on Roger’s body through the ritual was being supplied with a ma.s.s of mana. By using this ma.s.s of mana, he would easily be able to bypa.s.s his seal and become a parasite on Roger’s body.

「 It doesn’t matter whether or not this is a trap. For me right now, the worst-case scenario is just being sealed again 」

Field swiftly made up his mind and used that ma.s.s of mana to escape from his seal.

This ma.s.s of mana was exactly what Field needed, originally, he intended to deceive Roger and help Roger grow quickly, up until he could help Field break the seal. However, this proved to be incredibly difficult, even if Michael was going senile from age, Roger was plainly unreliable.

Roger had always thought too highly of himself, always restrained by so-called upper-cla.s.s pride; in a pivotal moment, he was p.r.o.ne to panic, making it tough to achieve anything great. If not for Roger’s potent spirit sense offsetting his flaws, he would have never even entered Field’s consideration.

But now, the person who had inserted that ma.s.s of mana into Roger obviously understood spirits very well, to the point that Field was immediately able to utilize it without any issues to bypa.s.s the seal and enter Roger’s body.

…

While escorting Roger away, Brewer also felt something amiss. ‘Negary’s’ final warnings gave him a bad omen, but from what he could see, Roger was now essentially a living corpse. Regardless of when his restraints were taken off or new restraints were put onto him, he still didn’t react at all.

Would such a piece of garbage really pose a threat to us?

Brewer was unsure, he could only maintain his focus to ensure that Roger wouldn’t cause any problems.

However, the problem arrived even faster than he had imagined. As soon as Brewer brought Roger outside of the Mobis Inst.i.tute, he immediately sensed something ominous flying in at high speed from afar.

That ominous sensation caused all of Brewer’s hair to stand on their ends. Mobilizing the mana inside his body, he used a simple clairvoyance spell, causing an entirely different scene to appear in Brewer’s vision.

What Brewer saw was a monster with a naked human male upper half and a ma.s.s of writhing substance as his lower half. The monster lifted Roger’s face up, glanced at him, then jumped into Roger’s mouth like it was liquid.

Field’s body entered Roger’s body through his mouth as if his body wasn’t actually solid. By the time he had completely entered Roger’s body, Roger lowered his head again as his body began to emanate a black ominous presence.

“Such profound despair, this truly is…” Roger abruptly looked up again with a twisted expression and smile: “Exhilarating!!!”

The immense sense of danger caused Brewer to not even have time to think and instinctively rolled to one side.

Zii….

A spurt of blood splashed all over Brewer’s face, followed by the fall of one of his subordinate’s severed torso. A pair of wide-opened eyes looked straight at Brewer before becoming dim and lifeless.

Roger rubbed the blood on his hand on his face without any qualms, which now highlighted his twisted expression to make it seem even more severe. The metal shackles on his hands had now been broken in half, the chains soaked in blood.

In that instant earlier, when Roger broke off the chains, he also swung it forward as a weapon. His immense strength caused the chains to instantly cut the enforcer’s body in half.

“Roger really was a demon apostle!”

Quite a few people were still watching the commotion from inside the inst.i.tute, who reacted with both fright and excitement as they saw this happen. Mystics were, as their names suggested, very uncommon; these people had mostly only heard rumors about them, the contents of which made it impossible to discern truth from fabrications.

…

「 Worm, surrender your body to me. A weakling like you doesn’t deserve the right to continue living 」

Inside Roger’s body, Field turned to the completely silent Roger.

“So even you were deceiving me, Senior Field?”

Roger’s voice didn’t contain a single bit of fluctuation, only profound despair. For someone who originally thought so highly of himself, the greatest despair was for everything he had depended on to prove useless; then clearly shown that everyone he had ever come into contact with had always thought of him as a fool.

「 Do I really need to spell it out for you? Even idiocy should have its limits 」

Field mocked Roger. He was sealed away for 10 long years after he was just born for not too long, so now that he had finally escaped that seal, he naturally didn’t want to continue keeping up the nice guy act.

“You’re right, I really am an idiot”

Roger went completely silent and let Field take over his body without any retaliation. Everything Roger had was already destroyed: his family, his friends, and his pride; with nothing left to himself, Roger had lost even the will to continue living.

「 That went very smoothly. Just as I thought, you really are a piece of garbage, Roger 」

Field didn’t find it the least bit surprising. The way he saw it, even Roger at his best was a useless piece of trash if not for his spirit sense and the connections of his family.

「 Still a bit of trouble 」

Field had now essentially completely taken Roger’s body over, but while Roger was a piece of trash, he was still a piece of trash with talents. His spirit sense granted him one last bit of control over his body, which was impossible to bypa.s.s without Roger’s cooperation.

「 That can be left for later. The more important thing to do now is to get rid of these annoying worms 」

Field turned around to look at Brewer who was fleeing after rolling to dodge Field’s earlier attack.
