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

Chapter 452 Changes and Shocks

Cambion Boden groaned.

I saw large black veins spreading out from the gap in Virgil's knee.

It was jumping towards him madly along the bone spurs that pierced his body, like a living thing.

Boden even saw that the tips of several large tendons and blood vessels had distinct oral fangs, looking like terrifying cosmic evil insects.

"What the hell is this!? This isn't [Biological Weaving]!"

His face, which always had a frivolous and evil smile, was filled with horror, and he quickly spread his huge bat wings and tried to escape.

But it is impossible to get the duck to fly away.

Virgil suddenly reached forward, and his strong hands squeezed out pus and blood desperately. His strength did not weaken at all, and he clamped the base of the bat's wings firmly.

Crack, tear.

It was torn off suddenly.

Boden screamed, and the smell of sulfur was strong. He was about to use the orange flame that looked like the [Spiritual Overload] technique again.

But at this time, the worms in the blood vessels on the bone spur had already drilled into the body.

Suddenly, his spiritual energy stagnated and could no longer function.

His face changed drastically, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Psionic energy? Aether? What is this! You lunatic absorbed cosmic life??!"

Hear the words.

Virgil raised his face stiffly.

With a sizzling sound, a line of blood ran from the forehead across the bridge of the nose and slid directly to the chin in the middle of the face.

The skin on the left side of his face was immediately torn off.

The flesh, blood, eyeballs, and meridians were completely gone, and the empty half of the face was occupied by fat and swollen worms as thick as wrists.

The fat, swollen worm was covered in yellow spurs and its surface was covered in disgusting, smelly slime.

Although it had no face or eyes, it locked onto Boden in an instant and sprayed a large ball of smelly water onto his face.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah------"

Boden screamed again.

He shouted at the top of his lungs, the despair and fear in his voice reaching their peak.

But the stinky water clearly had no power at all and didn't even corrode the skin.

Virgil also took advantage of him screaming.

He grabbed the sutured part of his swollen belly with his right hand and suddenly lifted it up, causing the suture to widen again.

The black broken sutures began to wriggle, and turned into sharp, ferocious teeth. With a click, they chewed up Boden completely, grinding him like an old cow eating grass.

"Forehead"

Rhodes was disgusted.

This job is a bit cruel.

It is not difficult to see from the few words of Cambion Boden that the half-elf Virgil absorbed a cosmic creature during these five days.

The recent news in the alien space is not good. Almost every day, the news newspapers warn all mages to enter with caution.

The battle for the Blood Drop in Purgatory is still going on. It is estimated that all the ninth-level masters on the continent have gone to join in the fun. Axe Beach is not like Waterdeep City, so there are no powerful wizards there.

This cosmic creature didn't know how he got it.

【Biological weaving】
Rhodes didn't encounter many half-elves, only four at most.

One was a researcher in biological weaving at the Bahadur School of Magic, one was the illegitimate daughter of the great elf elder Manla of the Magic Control Alliance, one was a half-elf grandmother who had established a survivor camp during the lycanthropy epidemic on the Koshi Plains, and the last one was this thing in front of him. Of the four, three of them had troubled him.

It seems that the quality of half-elves is worrying.

The movement in the air naturally alarmed the crowd of onlookers on Axe Beach below.

Just now, some people speculated that the private army and the devil were in cahoots, but now that this scene has emerged, it has become a little unclear.

The puppet lord named Bugo Torres spoke first, choosing to firmly defend his master's face:
"Mr. Virgil is so righteous that he chose to sacrifice himself to seal the demon in order to destroy it!"

The Zhentarim members who were part of the private army nearby were stunned for a moment, and then chose to second the motion.

They were far away, and the sun was at its brightest, so they couldn't actually see clearly what was happening to Virgil.

The Zhentarim mixed in with the militia and adventurers also began to stir up public opinion.

"It must be a three-way fight. The giant sword man, the devil, and Mr. Virgil are each on their own side. Lord Bugo is working hard to govern the country, so why would he collude with Purgatory?"

"Where's the other one? He seems to be Old Ed from the militia. When did he become so strong?"

"Didn't you see Old Ed and Sir Virgil teaming up to take on that man with the giant sword? Sir Virgil, you're not familiar with him. Old Ed has been captain of Axe Beach for over thirty years, so you know his personality."

"Yeah, I heard Old Ed was even chosen by the Half-Deer People as a [Hero Candidate]. I don't need to tell you how valuable that is."

"Tsk, just because you're chosen as a [Hero Candidate] doesn't mean you're necessarily a good person. I've heard that some half-deer with ulterior motives, when they encounter a potential talent and already have a candidate, will choose to kill that person to prevent other half-deer from discovering him."

"You're talking about an isolated case, understand? Don't use that as a proxy for the general public."

"Aside from the Deer Man, the same is true. Old Ed has been a loyal man his entire life. He and Lord Virgil must be working together to protect Axe Beach. The devil and the man with the giant sword are both enemies of Axe Beach."

This person spoke loudly, obviously using [Illusion Sound Technique] to increase the volume.

In addition to the preconceived notions, one is a private army group and the other is a militia group, they will naturally tend to side with their own people.

They all began to cheer for Lord Virgil.

Rhodes didn't care.

Just do it as it comes, and forget it if it doesn't work.

It has been a while since Winna's patricide case began, and with the Zhentarim in power, a lot of evidence has been eliminated.

Even if he killed all the Zhentarim this time, it would be useless because everyone would still be convinced of her guilt.

Forcefully push her to the top?

Not to mention, I'm afraid that once Rhodes leaves, Winna will be melted by a group of people with ulterior motives.

The best case scenario is that Wen Na can obtain evidence of collusion between the private army and Purgatory, and through communication and promises, regain the trust and support of her father's old party and militia that have been suppressed, so that she will have a chance to regain her position.

While thinking.

Virgil undergoes a more drastic change.

It originally had an exaggerated muscular shape, but after devouring Boden, the subcutaneous fat grew rapidly, and after a short while it grew into a giant fat man.

The exaggeratedly drooping, huge, round belly and the three or four layers of chin flesh had completely disappeared from his eyes when he first met her. His eyes were even visible because of the thick flesh on his forehead.

The only thing left was the swollen purple-black skin.

Wow!

The huge mouth in the abdomen opened with sticky and smelly saliva, and a pink tongue covered with blisters and cysts stretched out from it. At the top of it was a fleshy head similar to the dragon's head, which opened its mouth and roared at Rhodes again.

The cheers of the private troops, militia, and adventurers on Axe Beach came to an abrupt end.

Looking at the terrifying monster in the sky, I felt panic, despair, and fear being drawn out one by one in my mind.

Rhodes was also stunned.

It was not because of Virgil's change, but because the dragon-slaying sword in his hand had a slight vibration.
