I'm Not Some Kind of Devil

Roger's doubts.

Vera didn't respond directly, but calmly looked at him. "How much do you know about ' Martial Artist '?"

Roger pondered for a moment and said, "I know a little bit."

Upon hearing this reply...

A hint of surprise flashed in Vera's eyes—

In Quenan, Martial Artist are not a common profession.

An ordinary Adventurers might never see a Martial Artist in their entire life.

But this Husky actually said he knew! Vera silently raised her opinion of 'Mr. Husky ' in her mind.

Considering that we still need his help with this matter.

Vera's tone was very gentle.

She explained earnestly, "Then you should know that Martial Artist rely entirely on their profession and rarely use external props."

"As far as I know, Master Roger of the Clear Spring Sect traveled from Mystra to Quenan alone without any external assistance..."

"This is hard to imagine. According to our deputy sect leader's judgment, his level must be above Immortal, and he most likely possesses some power above the level of Immortal—for example, authority..."

In order to gain Roger's trust.

Vera said a lot.

Roger was speechless, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

on the one hand.

He was quite happy to learn about the Clear Spring Sect from Vera.

On the other hand...

He felt a little embarrassed.

Although he has quite a few XPs.

But it's still a bit far from immortal.

Not to mention those outrageous gods!

"Just who is the Clear Spring Sect now, in the hands of a bunch of delusional people?"

"I didn't activate the 'Deception' passive ability either..."

"No, it's really unreliable to let these people be in power!"

This thought came to mind.

Roger secretly made up his mind.

He had finally accomplished the great feat of establishing his own sect, and he absolutely could not stand by and watch his sect go astray! However, he was not in a hurry.

Until Vera had said almost everything.

He then tentatively asked:

"If I find the Master Roger you mentioned, how can I prove that I was commissioned by the Clear Spring Sect?"

"Also, what exactly is the trouble you've encountered?"

Vera pondered for a moment and said, "The Vice Sect Master told me that the Sect Master has two major nemesis."

"One is a tortoise, and the other is a pig."

"Tell him this news; it shouldn't be wrong."

Roger wanted to rub his temples again...

He really wanted to ask, "Who is your deputy sect leader? Don't get me wrong, I just want to get to know him!"

But he restrained himself.

How could a pig and a turtle be his nemesis? These people's deductions are really unreliable! However, it's not hard to tell from Vera's words that Qin and A Qi have probably already returned to the sect.

This put Roger at ease.

He then asked some other questions.

Vera is generally very responsive to all questions.

The only time she was asked what difficulties Clear Spring Sect was facing was that she said it was a confidential matter and could not be known to outsiders.

This made Roger extremely eager.

Revealing my identity now could cause a lot of inconvenience.

Roger even wanted to tell her directly, "I am Roger, Roger is me!"

"I would be very grateful if you could pass on this message to me."

"In return, you may make any request of me, and I or the Clear Spring Sect behind me will do our best to fulfill it."

Speaking of which...

Vera's voice was a little softer.

She seemed a little embarrassed.

After all, this has the suspicion of making a bad promise.

"I understand, I'll keep that in mind."

"But don't have too high expectations. If he's really as amazing as you say, I might not be able to get in touch with him."

Roger regained his calm tone:

"As for the reward, let's talk about that after I find someone for you."

Vera looked at him gratefully.

Previously, she only thought that this Husky was both incompetent and pretentious, and that it had no attitude that a newcomer should have, despite being a newbie.

And now.

She turned out to be a pretty good person.

At least he didn't take the opportunity to blackmail me—

Although it's rare for anything strange to happen in the virtual world.

After all, everyone's race is different.

"Thank you."

She said it from the bottom of her heart.

After we finished discussing business...

The two then withdrew from behind the screen, and Hediwala smiled broadly, "It seems your deal went very smoothly."

Roger nodded noncommittally.

What's today's topic?

He asked.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to announce some good news—good news for me, but not necessarily for you."

Hediwala said in a light tone, "I have found a way to break through the 99th floor."

"I'm afraid it won't be long before I'm able to join the Celestial Palace."

Roger casually offered a "Congratulations".

But Vera's reaction was not quite right.

Her voice was filled with surprise and disappointment:

"Are you leaving?"

Hediwala nodded:

"That's true."

"I didn't expect things to go so smoothly lately."

"I'm only one step away from realizing my dream, which is of course a great joy for me, but it also means that you need to find a third partner."

Roger couldn't help but look at Vera.

The latter shook his head. "The minimum requirement to open a room in the Void Realm under the ' Beneath the Immortal Palace ' is three people."

"We don't have the authority to invite other people, so we can only wait for new people to join, but new people..."

Speaking of which...

Her eyes became somewhat dejected, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

The Gentleman Cat smiled gently, "It's not easy to find new talent, which is why we waited so long last time, but there's nothing we can do about it, is there?"

"Alright."

Instead of worrying about these things here, why don't you take advantage of my good mood and ask me a few more questions that interest you?

"I can answer your questions for free."

Both of them remained silent.

After a while.

Roger then asked a few questions about the Nine Great Planets.

Hediwala did not speak carelessly.

This time.

He answered very carefully.

Much of the knowledge was beyond Roger's comprehension.

He could only force himself to memorize these things.

After the party lasted less than an hour.

Roger's knowledge about the Nine Great Planets has become much richer.

Jade Phoenix Nest.

Upon returning to the Prime Material Plane, the first thing Roger did was to tear open a new "Servant Re-Summoning Scroll".

A moment later.

A list of summonable servants appeared before him.

Roger did not hesitate.

I selected "Devil Lord Sonsonia" directly.

Suddenly.

Inside the Teleportation Gate formed by Purgatory Black Fire.

A petite figure slowly emerged.

She hesitated behind the door for a while.

In the end, I bravely stepped out.

The next moment.

Roger carefully examined Sonsonia after her promotion.

Although he is still very short.

But the Devil Lord's aura was already quite different—the veil and cloak formed from the Fear Authority Rank fluttered slowly in the wind, and the evil power from the source of purgatory rippled outwards like dark waves.

If it were an ordinary person...

Just one glance at her would make one's whole body go weak and kneel down.

Roger merely assessed her current fighting strength and then said with slight disappointment, "That's it?"

Sonsonia bit her lip tightly.

His previously anxious expression suddenly turned fierce:

"What do you mean?"

"I am now an Ascended One!"

"You don't think that contract can perfectly bind me, do you? I can destroy it..."

However, she hadn't finished speaking.

A pair of strong, powerful hands pressed down on her waist without warning!

She was just about to use her strength to break free from Roger's grasp.

But it was too late.

Neither "Seize the Initiative" nor "Brute Force Grab" allowed her any chance to resist.

Amidst Sonsonia's panicked screams.

Her vision began to spin.

Then came a loud 'boom'.

Her petite body was slammed to the ground! Dust billowed up.

A huge crater was smashed into the solid ground! Intense pain emanated from her back, waist, and the back of her head.

Fresh blood.

saliva.

Various other bodily fluids also oozed from her various organs.

That moment.

Sonsonia was left lying on the ground like a dead fish!

The limbs and torso were convulsing uncontrollably.

"Hint: You used 'Slam' on ' Sonsonia '"

"Sonsonia has entered a state of incontinence, disability, and dizziness..."

"Sonsonia has entered Near-Death State... (Click to view battle instructions)"

"That damage is way too high!"

"This girl is just too inexperienced..."

Roger dusted himself off and climbed off the Devil Lord.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but feel a little amazed.

After a while.

Roger pried open Sonsonia's mouth and poured in some potion to replenish her health.

The latter's incessant convulsions were then relieved.

Under the protection of the Authority Rank power.

Sonsonia's body is gradually recovering.

But her eyes were filled with fear!

"Don't look at me like that, I'm not some kind of devil..."

It's just that I've just learned a new skill.

I'll use your body to practice; after all, you devils all have very strong bodies.

You probably won't mind, will you?

The edge of the deep pit.

Roger smiled nonchalantly.

Sonsonia opened her mouth blankly. "I... don't... mind..."

"Master can do... anything... I'll do it..."

Roger's eyes lit up. "Then I'll reluctantly do it one more time?"

"That wasn't enough!"

Sonsonia's eyes widened suddenly.

Then he closed his eyes again, his face ashen.

A long time passed.

Feeling my body gradually recovering.

Her trembling eyelashes finally parted again.

She nervously looked around at her surroundings, but there was no sign of Roger near the deep pit.

Wipe away the blood and tears little by little.

Sonsonia struggled to her feet, supporting her back.

She stood on the edge of the deep pit for a long time.

Suddenly, I slapped myself hard!

She rested there for a while.

Until all injuries have healed to the point that they are no longer visible.

She followed Roger's scent with a beaming smile.

Outside the central bamboo building in Phoenix Forest.

Sonsonia had just approached.

Roger's voice came from above. "I need you to go to Mystra."

"Is everything alright?"

Nightshade Town.

In the wilderness of the northern suburbs.

A woman riding a tall wolf-like beast leisurely made her way up a hillside along a small path.

The mountain road was littered with piles of white bones.

But she seemed not to see them; her eyes were only on the towns scattered across the northern wilderness.

"My master did not summon me."

"But he summoned that bitch named Sonsonia twice."

Do you know what this means?

The woman said softly.

These words were spoken.

The Azure Wolf Emperor beneath her immediately went limp and howled, "Does that mean I'm going to get beaten up again?"

Sake cried out, "Mistress, why bother with that bitch? Although she has a higher position now, in terms of figure and potential, how can she compare to you?"

"Perhaps the master just summoned her to practice her combat skills..."

Diana snorted coldly.

He landed a backhand punch on Sake's neck:

"Is this how you practice?"

Sake was in so much pain that tears welled up in his eyes, but he dared not talk back to Diana and could only beg for mercy.

Not far behind him.

A pack of wolves stared at Diana's retreating figure with awe, not daring to take another step closer.

After a while.

Diana's anger subsided somewhat.

She gazed into the distance and murmured to herself:

"When we parted ways, our master said he would come looking for us when we had conquered enough land..."

"Although we have already captured Nightshade Town in the ' Chaotic Lands '."

"But his failure to show up means he is not satisfied!"

"I will take all the towns south of that mountain range and present them to my master as a gift!"

What do you think?

Sake said in a trembling voice, "I think we should proceed cautiously, step by step..."

But in that instant, he sensed the chilling force of the punch and hurriedly changed his words, saying, "Charge! Charge! Charge!"

"If you ask me, taking over all the towns south of the Green Dragon Mountain Range might not be enough, since what our master values most is the ability of his subordinates!"

Why not set your goals higher?

"In my opinion, the so-called Gem Country, Jungle Country, Country of Lyres are all just empty names!"

"Why don't we just take over all the cities in the south..."

Sake was delirious and spouted nonsense.

Towards the end.

He himself felt guilty, and his voice unconsciously became much softer.

But Diana's eyes grew brighter and brighter. "You're right."

"It's because my perspective is too narrow."

"Tomorrow... no, we'll leave tonight!"

"First unify the Free Territory, then attack the neighboring countries!"

As he spoke.

A man and a horse charged down the hillside and sped off into the distant wilderness.

"Hint: Your servant ' Diana ' has entered the growth spurt phase."

Inside the Mountain Protection Array.

Roger glanced at the data panel, a look of confusion on his face:

"Development? Outbreak? How does it break out?"

"Are those guys alright?"

He carefully checked the servants' condition and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that all the characters were safe and sound.

He briefly recalled—

Diana and her forces had previously captured Nightshade Town.

The task at hand should be maintaining order.

Considering the unique nature of the Hero Template, she must have gained some insights during previous battles, thus entering a period of rapid power enhancement ahead of schedule.

This can be seen from the level.

Diana's level has reached LV84.

She started at level 69, and in just over six months, she leveled up by 15.

Even someone as overpowered as Roger would have to exclaim, "Such a fast leveling speed!"

Thinking about this...

He decided to give Diana a little encouragement.

As for the specific methods...

Roger is about to try out his newly learned martial art, "Sound Transmission into the Secret"—because the distance is too far, what he says must be concise yet effective in praising and encouraging the other person.

After a moment of contemplation.

He used his breath to compress his voice into a thin line, which then carried far away!

To ensure that the sound would reach Diana's ears.

Roger repeated the operation 10 times.

After doing all this.

His internal energy had been completely depleted.

"I wonder if Diana will receive my encouragement."

"Never mind."

"Let's wait until things are settled here before we go and meet up with them."

Thinking about this...

Roger shifted his attention back to the underground battlefield.

at the same time.

On the open fields north of Nightshade Town.

As Diana was riding Sake speed, a very mesmerizing and lingering sound suddenly reached her ears!

Just as that sound rang out.

Tears welled up in her eyes, for it was her master's voice!

"You did the right thing!"

"You did the right thing!"

"You did the right thing!"

"As expected, this is what Master meant!"

On the wolf's back.

Diana silently wiped away her tears, then leaped to her feet.

The Purgatory Black Fire bloomed like a lotus flower.

The next second.

A 6-meter-tall female demon king flew out of the flames.

With a whoosh, she single-handedly stormed into the tower built by the "Ear-Cutting Clan" orcs! A brutal massacre was about to begin.

What those orcs who fled in panic didn't know was...

Tonight's black fire is just the beginning.

Very soon.

This black fire is about to engulf every corner of the Chaotic Lands.

No force can escape unscathed!

Two months later.

Underground City next to the Jade Phoenix Nest.

Inside the pitch-black cave.

A humanoid creature covered in mud and ash was frantically digging at the silvery stone wall with its bare hands.

He is very fast.

With swift, deft movements of his hands.

Stones of different colors appeared in his hand.

He tossed the stones behind him without even glancing at them.

Someone will naturally be responsible for taking it into the Demiplane.

As the excavation work continues to deepen.

He was like a pangolin, deeply embedded in the stone wall.

On the data panel.

"Barehanded Digging: You have obtained a piece of quality 3 Mithril"

"Barehanded Digging: You have obtained a piece of copper ore of quality 7"

"Barehanded Digging: You have obtained a quality 3 green gemstone"

"Hint: Your servant Diana has conquered 'Northern Sentinel Town,' unified the ' Chaotic Lands,' and swore an oath of queen in your name."

"You have become the King of the Chaotic Lands, achieving a new milestone: Ruler of a Nation (Click to view details)"

"Ah???"

See here.

The filthy humanoid creature stopped digging, blinked, and tried to look carefully at the data record—

He's been so engrossed in mining lately that he's neglected a lot of information.

However, he has always been very familiar with the situation of Red Leaf, Turing, and the underground battlefield.

There was indeed some oversight on the part of the servants.

Roger mainly felt that they shouldn't be able to cause too much trouble.

Who would have thought?

He was digging and suddenly he became king! That was so sudden!

Was Diana really that brave?

Roger had some doubts.

He was just about to search for more information.

But at this very moment...

A rumbling sound of footsteps came from near the cave! Roger frowned.

He pulled out a pair of bright green bows and arrows, and then slowly disappeared from sight.

Not long after.

A group of "sentinels" passed through this area.

Look at them.

They must be searching for something.

One of the sentries discovered traces of a pangolin.

But before it could continue tracking,...

From the darkness came a flurry of cold arrows! The "purple ore armor-piercing arrows" borrowed from the Jackalmen armory were quite effective.

After 13 arrows in a row.

The core program of 12 Sentinels was then destroyed.

On the data panel.

"You have killed 1 sentry, bringing your total number of killed sentries to 998."

"You have obtained 2 Metal Grid Fragments, bringing your total to 1003. Would you like to redeem them?"

"Notification: Your metal slot has reached 0.1. You have gained the random slot perks 'Metal Skin' and ' Ore Vein Perception '."

"Metallic Skin: You can add a layer of metal to your skin, increasing your Skin Base Defense Value by 18."

"Ore Vein Perception: You can sense the vein patterns within a 100-kilometer radius."

"These two specialties..."

"It's alright, I guess!"

I quickly glanced at the attributes.

Before Roger could even reread his record of becoming king, he sensed another large contingent of sentinels approaching! A look of helplessness crossed his face.

This is the sixth wave today! Ever since Drovas suspended the fighting with the Jackalmen Kingdom.

Turing, that old bastard, started a large-scale patrol operation.

This has made it impossible for Roger to mine in peace!

In comparison.

On the contrary, the red leaves were too well-behaved.

Since the last attack on the Mountain Protection Array, he has been hiding in the shadows, occasionally using the invisible fire of the Mountain Protection Array to scorch his tail scales.

besides.

He didn't make a sound at all.

Roger couldn't find any openings in his defenses, so he could only stay online and find something to do for himself.

It has to be said.

Barehanded Digging is still very efficient.

The area is rich in mineral resources, mainly consisting of Mithril and Primal Stone.

Ten days later.

Roger dug up a small vein of ore.

This feeling of frantically hoarding goods is quite nice.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have almost become addicted.

But Turing's unusual behavior alerted Roger—

Lord Drovas may have already guessed the existence of Third Party!

Although he can retain most of the rewards even if he ends the campaign now.

But I didn't farm enough Agility Shard.

Roger never wanted to give up.

"I cannot let Turing confirm my existence!"

Thinking about this...

Roger decided to let the sentries go.

At present.

His body sank rapidly into the ground.

With the support of Earth Escape Technique.

He swam deeper into the earth's core.

After calmly evading the onslaught of the sentries.

Roger activated "Ore Vein Perception".

I wanted to see if there was a suitable place deeper inside for me to loosen the soil and dig a hole.

But very quickly.

His expression underwent a complete transformation!...

"Ore Vein Perception: You have discovered the Primal Stone mother stone ore."

"Ore Vein Perception: You have discovered a fully-maintained ' Heaven-Tier ' starship at the source of the Primal Stone Mother Mine."

"Sixth Sense: You realize that you seem to have touched upon Drovas's core secret."

"So there's something else beneath the Jade Phoenix Nest! This sensory shielding is amazing..."

"I knew Turing's movements looked so strange..."

All anyone knows is that Drovas was built on the ruins of a starship.

"But I doubt anyone knows there are starships beneath starships!"

This thought came to mind.

Roger excitedly swam downwards.

Playing Earth Escape(a type of magic or escaping technique) in the ore area feels like swimming in oil.

It took him a great deal of effort to finally get close to that dark underground area.

After repeatedly confirming that there were no Red Leaf or Turing's spies nearby, Roger finally found a corner and crawled out of the ground.

We walked along a natural underground tunnel for about 10 minutes.

He had not yet seen the starship he had sensed earlier.

Then, canine creatures appeared in their field of vision, drooling pale green saliva!

Not far away.

There was also a body.

Within the field of vision of the Qi Divination Technique.

The corpse glowed with a faint purple light.

"Hint: You have encountered an ' Acidic Hound ' (LV51/Mother Nest Creature Template)"

"You've discovered the ' Ammunition Expert's Supply Crate'"
