I'm a forest ranger, why would I enslave a succubus?

Chapter 40 Ghoul

In the open space on the edge of Shuangzhi Mountain.

There were several huge pits on the ground with fresh soil, and unstable spirituality and magic remained.

Broken sword and corpse.

Overturned flags and a stench rising to the sky.

Demia closed his eyes tightly and concentrated, while the magic power released from his hands spread throughout the magic prison.

She tried to break the spell through magical deconstruction.

But this has never been an easy thing.

The witch's face was very pale, and even the golden color of her hair had dimmed a bit.

There was a bloody hole in the abdomen.

Although the witch didn't die from internal organ damage, it did cause her great harm.

She had the upper hand against the half-werewolf in the first round of attacks.

As a witch, she learns spells much faster, and she has a good command of control spells that can restrain melee fighters.

At first, she even thought it was another quick and perfect victory.

Unexpectedly, a sixth-level wizard of shadow magic and a stronger sixth-level orc suddenly appeared.

Caught off guard, Demia was seriously injured.

And was quickly trapped by the opponent's mage using Shadow Prison.

Those soldiers who lost her magical support were quickly defeated by the attack of the enemy's sixth-level orcs.

What surprised Demia was that.

They had no intention of chasing after the fleeing soldiers.

When encountering a slight advantage, the commander would lead his troops in a desperate pursuit, which was almost a characteristic of the Brotherhood of Ruins in the past.

A year ago, Demia had learned the tactic of pretending to be weak and luring them into an ambush.

This trick is always effective against the Brotherhood of Ruin.

Today, the Brotherhood of the Ruin is far more powerful than usual.

What was even more unusual was that they were not as reckless as before.

"Hey, Mage, is she trying to break your spell?"

asked the half-werewolf Cassidy.

The Shadow Mage took a look at it calmly, and then couldn't help but admire

"As expected of a witch, your understanding of magic is so profound."

"So she's going to get out of this?"

Cassidy was a little nervous.

It took some time to catch this witch.

Moreover, the spell was extremely powerful and difficult to deal with. Although it was only at the initial stage of the sixth level, it almost blasted her into mud.

Amy chopped at the rocks on the hillside with a fighting spirit.

"Let her out, Amy will beat her up!"

She said she hadn't fought enough.

The Shadow Mage and Cassidy glanced at the orc, then simultaneously decided to ignore her.

"Don't worry, Miss Half-Werewolf, my spell is not that easy to break."

He took a step back toward the shadows beneath the tree.

A mature shadow mage should be in the shadows all the time.

Cassidy gave him a look of disdain.

"You know what, Master? There's nothing wrong with getting some sun. Look at your face, it's as white as a vampire who's been dead for three years."

"Don't vampires turn to ash when they die?"

The Shadow Mage was confused for a moment and didn't understand.

Cassidy rolled his eyes.

"That's the latest meme trending in the Snow Hill Evening News, you idiot," Amy scoffed.

"Look, even the orcs know about it."

The Shadow Mage avoided his gaze and laughed awkwardly: "I don't like reading newspapers."

Then, suddenly, he grew serious.

Look at the mountain path in the distance.

"That's some movement."

Cassidy looked over there, and the spiritual fluctuations passed through the air, becoming fainter and fainter.

The strongest witch at this stage has been trapped.

There is no one in Quartz Town who can threaten them anymore.

But for some reason, the [Beast Heart] possessed by the half-werewolf has always been tense.

"That's Penny's area," she said.

"Who is Penny? Is she powerful? Amy wants to fight her." said orc Amy.

"Oh! That's a ghoul mage, you won't like her, Amy." The shadow mage advised.

Cassidy hesitated for a moment and said:
"I have to go check it out."

"Don't go, you have to help transport this witch!"

"Aren't there orcs here?" "She's not a capable worker at all. Her brain is all muscle!"

"Yes, Amy also has muscles in her head." The female orc nodded in agreement. Muscles are the highest compliment for orcs.

When we are about to reach the central battlefield.

Rhodes felt a tingling sensation from the spiritual breeze.

He was instantly alert and moved forward quickly.

The next moment, a figure emerged from the ground where he was originally located.

Immediately afterwards, the soil on the ground arched up into mounds and crawled forward from not far away.

He drew out his [Sacrificial Sword] and chopped an oncoming [Erosion Sphere] in half.

Who is coming?
The smell of decay in the air was already unmistakable.

Ghoul.

Not far away, a slender woman in white clothes holding a lantern landed gracefully.

The hood on his head was covered in mud, and his dull, dirty black hair flowed forward like a waterfall, completely obscuring his face.

The worn belt without the jewels was wrapped around her slender waist, highlighting her towering chest.

Unfortunately, the decay on the exposed arms and feet proved that this was a hideous female ghoul.

"Intelligent ghouls are rare."

The fact that the other party can cast spells is enough to prove that he possesses wisdom.

Rhodes pressed forward, but had not yet arrived.

Four ragged male ghouls broke out of the ground and attacked.

"Only the fourth level."

Rhodes and his group's buffs were applied instantly.

At this time, we are some distance away from the woods, so [Tree Armor] has no special bonus.

呲!
A sword swung by.

The three ghouls had their heads cut open at the same time.

The other one was slower and thus happened to dodge the sword.

Immediately afterwards, zombies began to crawl out from the ground one after another.

These zombies are not of high rank, the highest being only the initial stage of level five, but they have the advantage of being numerous.

They rushed forward and surrounded Rhodes.

This method might be effective against ordinary human warriors.

After all, their endurance is limited. Besieged by a group of zombies infected with corpse poison, even a sixth-level warrior will be defeated again.

But it's a pity.

The endless recovery power of [Blessing of Trees] and the extraordinary physical strength brought by [Second Heart].

Make falling impossible.

The only pity is that Rhodes does not have a large-scale killing spiritual technique, so the killing speed is a bit slow.

During this period, he even planned to attack from inside the [Lightless Chang'en Seal] to trigger a greater impact.

It’s a pity that it didn’t happen.

Gradually, Penny realized something was wrong.

Because the low-level zombies were unable to stop the opponent at all.

As a ghoul wizard who majored in summoning spells, he finally realized that the other party was not someone to be trifled with.

She secretly clicked her tongue.

If the only sixth-level ghoul servant had not been killed in the previous battle with the witch, she would not have been in such a miserable state.

In this case, she is the one being restrained.

Seeing Rhodes flying up and down, the number of servants was decreasing rapidly.

She hesitated no more.

From the mouth hidden behind the hair, a few difficult-to-pronounce spells came out.

The blue flame of the lantern in his hand suddenly burst into flames.

then.

A group of zombie servants, their eyes glowing red, gathered together and formed a small hill.

As Penny chanted the spell in a more passionate tone.

Magic flowed across the surface of the ghoul servant's flesh, gradually stitching his skin together.

The lifeless flesh began to wriggle.

After a while, they combined into a giant zombie over three meters tall.

Judging from its spiritual aura, it has reached the sixth level.

at the same time.

Rhodes suddenly found that the corpses under his feet merged together, gradually trapping his feet like a pool of slime.

The synthetic zombie had already come to him and raised a giant hand with a face on its palm.

A violent palm wind came towards him.

"Die, human!"
