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

Chapter 498: Dog-Man and Peeping

Northwest of Dusk Hills.

There is an inconspicuous slope with a gentle meadow and several ancient trees, which the locals call Old Oak Slope.

Looking from afar, Rhodes saw two parties standing in confrontation on the old oak slope.

One side is naturally our force headed by the witch Demia. The ghoul Penny and the female orc Amy have disappeared. Only the banshee Chris is left by her side, and there are several Wendigos.

On the other side were six warriors dressed in light leather.

What’s interesting is that each of the six of them carries more than three steel swords, and it seems that they were taught by the same teacher.

At the front of them was a young man, quite handsome, the strongest one, probably at the middle of the seventh level.

The number of steel swords on his body was also the most exaggerated, with a total of six.

Even Rhodes felt it was too heavy for him.

But if it were just these people, Demia wouldn't have asked him to come in person.

Even though the zombie Penny and the female orc Amy are currently destroying a large bandit den, they can just go back to defend it.

Of course, the reason why Demia asked for help was not just because of these people.

As a witch, her magical perception ability is already strong, and coupled with the magic circuits reconstructed in her body by the spirit seed, she is far superior to her peers.

In addition, she has always been cautious in doing things, and every time she moves on the Dusk Hills, she will set up a dragon-avoiding spell on herself in advance.

Therefore, she sensed a secret that no one else present knew:

——There is a dragon watching.

Be frank with these swordsmen in front of you and tell them the news about the dragon?

Demea didn't dare.

The five-colored dragons often have the habit of selecting agents in urban society. When they happened to discover the giant dragon spying, this group of people became entangled. God knows whether they are in cahoots with the giant dragon.

So she could only seek help from a forest ranger who had once fought off a dragon.

Rhodes had already learned these details during the communication in the Chain of Far Words.

He also knew that what he had to do next was to fire the first shot with great momentum and determination to clear the Dusk Hills and reduce the Black Dragon's looting space.

Since all the members of the Argyle family have moved to the front line and Windward City has nothing to do, then Quartz Town and the Forest must take control of the initiative in this place in their own hands.

Boom! ! !

As February approached, the sandstorms gradually became less powerful and the sky became clearer.

Then suddenly there was a deafening explosion!

Rhodes used his hands and feet to simultaneously unleash the enhanced power of [Repulse] in the light blue sky as a propulsion force.

A ball of white mist exploded directly in the air, and it suddenly accelerated, dragging a long white tail as it sped away.

Both parties on the ground looked up at the same time.

Demia and Chris naturally felt relieved.

As for the one who had several swords on him, he was frightened and frowned.

Seeing the figure in the sky coming straight towards them, they felt even more uneasy.

Another loud bang!
Rhodes forcefully landed on the land not far away. The soil was crushed and splashed by the high-pressure impact, rolling like a giant wave and smashing out a crater.

As the smoke dissipated, he walked over slowly with a cold face.

His body was still spotless.
Well, how is that possible.

In fact, Rhodes secretly used the [Lightless Grace Seal] and detonated it the moment he landed.

The explosive force of the force field not only allowed him to blast the dirt away in a very handsome and powerful manner, but also directly pushed away the mud and dust.

After all, I am a decent person and I am quite capable.

It's time to make a cool entrance.

The man with six steel swords took a step forward without any fear.

Rhodes ignored him.

He walked straight to Demea and asked in a low voice:
"Can you tell me where the dragon is?"

The witch shook her head. "My [Dragon Sense] is derived from the Dragon Avoidance Technique and is a spell specifically designed to target giant dragons. However, the opponent's position is beyond my sensing range, so I can only vaguely sense that it has been triggered."

This is the benefit of magic.

Very targeted.

Even if it exceeds its own sensing range, it can still be triggered.

Although Rhodes's [Spider Sense] is strong, it is purely physical perception, and he can't sense anything outside the range.

I heard that in order to deal with the legendary spells of the Kingdom of Eselon that can be launched over ultra-long distances, the Heavenly Flower Kingdom has specially developed a spell called [Legendary Induction].

"Well, never mind. I'm here. If you can find anything, tell me."

Rhodes nodded comfortingly.

Tylee's shared skill [Whiplash of Pain] can enhance the effect of spells. Maybe you can give Demia a try.

But that's it.
Let’s resolve the current situation first.

He looked at the banshee Chris who was quietly approaching and sighed.

Today's Banshee travels in the form of an undead.

The translucent bluish-gray skin glowed with a faint silver light, and the long black hair floated in the air like smoke.

She was wearing a high-necked, slim-fitting long skirt that had turned bluish-gray due to the influence of the undead power. It seemed that she cherished this skirt so much that even when it was floating in the air, she had to bend her knees to prevent it from touching the ground.

Because of this, the slim-fitting long skirt clearly outlines her hips and waistline.

"Why don't you go help Penny and Amy? You're slacking off again, aren't you?"

"No way, it was Demia who asked me to follow her!"

Demia also excused her: "The people of the Brotherhood of the Ruins are always hiding underground, and it will be a lot easier with Chris's help." When fighting, Chris usually subconsciously hides behind the strongest person.

But after hearing his master's rebuke, he quietly floated back behind Demia, only half of his head showing behind her shoulder, and looked at Rhode with his red and swollen eyes, as if he was bullying others.

Rhode was amused by her appearance and turned to ask Demia.

"She didn't ask for too much in terms of compensation, did she?"

"As soon as I said it was your order, she gave me a 90% discount, which happened to be within the budget limit of the city hall."

Demia said with a smile.

Is the 90% discount just the limit of City Hall's budget?
I can only say that I guessed it.

After all, it was Chris who loved money.

But Rhode didn't bother to care. With some income, this guy would calm down a bit.

Terry suddenly poked her head out from the shadow of Rhodes' clothes and nodded at Chris.

"Master, this undead spirit hasn't attended the party for a while, and she can't be found every day. You have to teach her a lesson."

Chris's face changed. "I have something important to do. I'm not like you guys who just hang out in the farm villa and do nothing."

Rhodes looked strange: "Business?"

This guy's so-called 'business' usually leads to trouble.

Demia was confused and asked curiously, "Playing around?"

"Him."

The Banshee resolutely ignored her master, even pointing her finger at him out of treason. "He always has six girls, including me, partying together. We strip naked and have a very lewd party. Not only that, but he also insists on playing some ridiculous games. After a night of tossing and turning, my back is weak and my legs are sore that I can't even float the next day!"

"You Yugi?"

Demia's face flushed red, and she looked curious.

As the main reference for the hero Orphiel, the protagonist of the pornographic novel, she has always been very interested in Rhodes' emotional life.

Chris glanced at her.

Previously, the old gentleman's stepdaughter Tobecca had a brief exchange with this witch lady at the engagement party, and the main content was all about Rhodes and her sex life.

Our Banshee is a country ghost who steals, defrauds, and escapes from prison, but she still considers herself a good girl.

I can't tell others about my sex life.

Unless you bribe me like last time~
Thinking of this, Chris carefully checked her fingers and shook them back and forth.

"Oh, I always feel like my hands are empty when I wear this long skirt~~"

Demia didn't understand.

We are all old customers. Last time, she used a necklace to buy a game called "Undead stuck in the wall and attacked from the front and back". That chapter was well received after it was published in the newspaper!
She also laughed, took off a decorative emerald ring from her finger and handed it over.

"My brain, I just found this ring behind you and wanted to return it to you, but I didn't expect that I got used to it and put it on my hand!"

Even though she was under threat from the giant dragon and six swordsmen, she was completely relaxed at this moment and even had the mind to joke with Chris.

why?

Even Demia himself didn't realize that the sense of security brought by a certain forest ranger who came to support him was stronger than he had imagined.

Rhodes' face darkened.

After giving Chris, who took the ring with a smile, a slap on the head, the guy screamed in pain and almost cried.

By the way, he took the ring from her hand and put it back into Demia's hand.

Just wanted to say something.

"gentlemen!"

The six swordsmen over there took another step forward, their eyes cold and resentful, and they were actually slowly drawing their swords.

Rhodes only noticed it now.

It turned out that he was a dog-man, and because one of his ears was missing, it was hidden in his gray hair and could not be seen clearly.

Not only that, he also had obvious scars on his wrists and neck.

Obviously, these were scars caused by being restrained for a long time.

"If I'm not mistaken, both the Lady of the Dead and the Lady of the Shadows are in your thrall."

He gritted his teeth with hatred.

Behind him, several dog-men who also had the same scars were grinning and slowly drawing their steel swords.

Rhodes understood something in his mind.

It's not difficult to guess.

This is a group of dog-men who have been tortured and once enslaved.

"Slavers! They all deserve to die!!!"

Facing the six-dog team rushing towards them.

Rhodes slowly raised his hand to stop the witch's spell and Terry's shadow manipulation.

"I can do it. Pay attention to the position of the sensing dragon. It will hurt a little."

He raised his hand and used [Whiplash of Pain], whipping Demia's butt through his clothes.

"Hey! Rhode, you're...? Your magic power has increased, and the efficiency has increased."

Demia's body was shining with aura, she felt something and looked surprised.

But then he covered his buttocks and looked at Rhodes complainingly, "But why hit here?"

"Sorry, I'm used to it."

Rhodes smiled, raised the [Dragon Scale Technique] and rushed forward with bare hands.
