Magic!

"Do you think this rope can bind me?"

The Demon King, who was tightly bound by a rope with runes, smiled crookedly, snorted twice, and his muscular muscles suddenly expanded.

The next second, the Demon King's body turned into a black cloud and dispersed.

The rope filled with spells fell to the ground with a plop.

"What's going on?" As soon as Russell asked, he felt his heart contract suddenly.

"The Demon King you just saw is just a projection incarnation. It's just that this projection has real combat power and can interact with the outside world." Duncan automatically knew the answer by using his supersensory perception that was far superior to other extraordinary beings, and said, " The Demon King's true body is still in your heart."

At this time, Russell also heard the majestic and solemn voice of the Demon King coming from the heart of his left chest:

"Young man, I am in your heart now. Because I have lived in your heart for too long, my body has been partially fused with your heart, and I can't be separated for a while.

"Before I find a way to really leave your heart, if I figure it out, I will use the method just now to summon a projection incarnation and project it to the outside world."

Just like the Balrog I encountered before was also a demonic projection from the abyss? Russell thought of the flame demon that had been chasing him before, and immediately understood this situation.

Russell asked a series of questions at once:

"That's right, Demon King.

“Why on earth are you in my heart?

"Does my abnormal physique have anything to do with you?

"Now that you have slept for so long, how much strength do you still have?

"What's your relationship with the Thorn Bird? There seems to be a conflict between you.

"Is your name really Wang Xiaoming? Did you write the book "Luo Qianqiu and the Elixir of Life"?"

At present, the legendary demon king does not show any imperial demeanor, but he still behaves in good faith, and he is somewhat similar to Duncan. This led Russell to believe that he might be patient enough to answer his questions.

"These things are a long story."

A majestic and solemn sigh sounded from Russell's left chest.

Duncan waved to Russell:

"There are many questions. Let's go back to the academy first. When we get back to the academy, you can slowly ask the Demon King questions under my supervision."

Some of the teachers accompanying them also learned from the conversation between Duncan and Russell——

The legendary Demon King is actually sealed in Russell's heart?

That legendary existence from a distant mythical age?

The King of the Abyss who has countless high-level demons and demon lords competing to surrender?

In various novels and dramas, such scenes are very common——

The most terrifying devil is sealed within the body of a hero or brave man. This sealed demon king is not only the enemy that the hero will face in the future, but also a helper on the journey.

However, this Demon King seems to behave differently from the legend...

The fourth-year professor of the Department of Creation and Summoning flew into the middle of the crowd and whispered the incantation transmitted by many people. A gorgeous magic circle spread out from the soles of the professor's feet, covering everyone within the range.

In the brilliant flash, everyone disappeared, leaving only the steaming burnt wasteland. A gust of evening wind blew in, dispersing the hot air.

…

After returning to the academy, Russell received magical treatment and regrown his broken nails. Then he briefly told the principal and other teachers what happened to him tonight.

Everyone also met Professor Opal who had returned to the college safely. Professor Opal is normal, but because he fell into the real name trap set by the Thorn Bird before, he was implanted with a spiritual seed, suffered from mind control, and his spiritual body and spirit were slightly weak.

After inspection by the principal, the spiritual seed implanted by the Thorn Bird in Professor Opal's subconscious ocean has disappeared and everything is fine.

Combining the information provided by Russell and Professor Opal, the school was able to determine——

The Thorn Bird is the culprit of this occult disease. It is suspected of murdering the wind chime of a suspected college student, exerting psychic control over a college professor, and trying to kidnap Russell, a genius student trained by the college.

For the above reasons, the college has temporarily removed all sculptures and portraits of thorn birds on campus, and has internally listed them as enemies of the college that must be vigilant.

After a brief discussion, Duncan urgently used the authority of the principal, held an emergency meeting, and declared that the college was on alert.

The academy's protective barrier is fully activated.

The College of Higher Education and the College of Junior High School each held up a shimmering translucent hemispherical protective shield to protect the college inside and at the same time block transmission, detection, remote sensing, mind control, dreaming, curses and other occult sciences from the outside world. form of invasion.

All students need to go through special inspection procedures before entering or exiting the college.

The large-scale enchanted detection instruments were also moved out and used to search the dense forest environment around the academy.

At least for some time in the future, Thorn Birds should not dare to set foot near the academy.

Russell knew clearly that this was the real world, not some overwhelming fairy tale world. Even a fifth-year legendary being is still not invincible.

Their abilities may be weird enough and far beyond common sense, but in a head-on battle, they may not be able to win easily if they face a large group of teachers with the strength of third and fourth grade students and the geniuses of higher education institutions.

In particular, if those strong third and fourth graders could cooperate with each other, match each other, make up for each other's weaknesses, and form a team with tacit understanding and complementary advantages, their strength would be even more terrifying. For the fifth-grade legendary existence, it must be a thorny and big threat, which can only be fought through point-and-click attacks and guerrilla tactics.

Russell watched the entire decision-making process.

From the conversations between the teachers, he learned that the academy was on alert not entirely because of Sister Thorn Bird.

Divinations and other intelligence indicate that cultists who believe in the Old Ones may have infiltrated the academy.

As for the motives of these cultists and whether they are related to the Thorn Birds' plan, it is unknown.

"Wait a minute, are you sure a cultist has infiltrated the academy?"

After the emergency meeting, Russell asked in a low voice: "It feels like it's really impossible for the same routine to be repeated for two consecutive years."

"Intelligence and predictions may also go wrong." Professor Black Amber waggled his tail at the conference table, "But we also have to be vigilant."

"But there is an Old Dominator classmate in our college. Well, there may be more than one. Do we need to ask Clara to come forward and negotiate with those cultists?" Russell gave full play to his brain circuits and came up with an idea. Interesting solution idea.

Professor Black Amber shook his head, and the bell on his neck jingled:

“No need for now.

"We have no concrete evidence that cultists have actually infiltrated the college, and we have not identified any suspects."
