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

Chapter 551 Jump and Spiritual Creation
Cliff watched the black slime transform into a stream of water and return to Rhodes' hand, a look of fear on his face.

At the same time, I started to worry:

"Is this [Jumping in Fire]? No, there's no magical fluctuation here. Mr. Rhodes, let's give chase! We can't let these traitors escape!"

Rhodes still ignored him and looked at Terry.

The succubus put her hands on her hips and made a "V" sign, putting on a cute and complacent expression.

"15 people, all using [Secret Shadow Tracking]. Isn't Ty Lee amazing?"

"Chris, you go too. If you can spare the lives, spare them. If not, kill them."

"I understand~~~" "Oh"

Ty Lee leaped into the shadows, dragging along Chris, the banshee who clearly didn't want to work.

After a subtle spiritual fluctuation, it quickly disappeared.

The witch Demia looked at the remaining fire on the ground and couldn't help but praise:

"It's similar to the spell [Jump in Fire]. There's no casting action, no magical fluctuations, and no incantation required. It suddenly appears and disappears. It's really hard to detect."

Rhodes nodded.

Fortunately, Terry was a smart girl. When the words were not right, she started to set up shadow spells for tracking.

"Mr. Rhodes, Miss Demia, I must reiterate that we are completely unaware of this matter."

Cliff expressed his opinion again for who knows how many times.

Rhodes laughed dumbly:

"I understand. However, please explain the situation to Mr. Cliff and Baron Ram. Please stay a few more days and let us treat you well so you can experience the local customs and culture."

"Of course, of course! I won't leave until this matter is thoroughly investigated!"

Cliff spoke righteously.

But I felt extremely bitter in my heart. It was called a hospitality, but it was just a disguised form of house arrest.

It is impossible to resist.

The record of a certain forest ranger who slew two dragons and repelled the Grand Duke of Purgatory was too terrifying.

Cliff said that if he had to die, he wanted to die with dignity, at least not like Bishop Arturo, who had his head bitten off.

Ugh.
I will report this to Baron Ram later.

This temporary city lord is a timid woman, so it will probably take some effort to comfort her afterwards.

Tired.

Not long after.

Argyle Manor, in a reception bedroom.

The middle-aged Baron Ram held his head with a weak and distressed look.

Opposite him was Cliff, who was pretending to be relaxed.

"You're saying that the Holy Fire Cult suddenly launched an attack, intending to attack Mr. Rhodes? And then, just as they were about to escape, Mr. Rhodes used some kind of magic to conjure up a ferocious jackal jaws and bite off Bishop Arturo's head?"

"That's right, I didn't expect the Holy Fire Sect to be like this."

"This is impossible!"

"Don't worry, I've already negotiated. Just stay here for a few days until the investigation is complete."

"Impossible! How could such a respectable and handsome man like Mr. Rhodes transform into such an ugly jackal's mouth? You must have seen it wrong!"

"."

Baron Ram looked out the window.

Like remembering or watching someone.

Suddenly her face flushed and her eyes became blurred.

"Will you stay for a few days? I was just thinking of taking a closer look at Mr. Rhodes' handsome face. Okay, okay. It turns out that only you, Cliff, can understand my thoughts and know how to make special arrangements for the Holy Fire Sect."

"No, no, no! I didn't do that!!! Madam, please don't talk nonsense!!"

Cliff waved his hands in panic and quickly denied it.

Damn it! This stupid woman Xia Ji is talking nonsense!
He looked around the room with a look of fear, fearing that there might be some eavesdropping spell.

"I must remind you, Mrs. Ram, that Mr. Rhodes has quite a few women, and they are all beauties of other races. He may not be very interested in human women."

He originally wanted to say that they were all young and beautiful girls, and you, a woman in your forties, should not join in the fun.

But life was tough, and Baron Ram was a good golden ticket, so Cliff didn't want to make things difficult for himself.

However, the baroness did not listen to him.

"Come here, pick out all my most expensive clothes~~"

talking.

She held her face with her slender hands and looked up at a 45-degree angle with resentment and anticipation.

Her eyes were filled with the fantasies of a young girl that were thirty years late.

"In the next few days, I will appear like a god, and then disappear forever, becoming a goddess in his life that he can never touch."

"."

Fengbi Forest Baiyu District.

In the medical treehouse, the elf Callister, the witch Demia, and the dog-man Sharon gathered together to observe the Holy Fire Sect energy that Rhode had intercepted using [Retention Field].

After a round of research.

Callister casts an energy visualization spell.

To the naked eye, it looks like a ball of golden light.

"interesting."

There was a glint in the elf lady's beautiful eyes, showing considerable interest.

"It has a special effect on dissipating negative energy such as plague fields and necromancy spells. It is a positive and vital energy."

Sharon, the dog-man, wagged her tail and guessed.

I don't know if it was intentional, but it kept sweeping and fiddling with Rhodes' thigh.

Today she was wearing a pair of masculine animal skin shorts, with a layer of delicate black tights underneath, and folded-down heroic short boots on her feet.

To the girls in Rhodes' previous life, this was a deadly outfit.

But this guy has good proportions and long legs.

Moreover, the slightly loose shorts can't hide the round peach buttocks that are still raised and show a full curve.

Rhodes couldn't help but touched the hair of the tail.

The result was that Sharon turned around and glared at him.

A slap in the face.

".I initially thought it was some kind of contract magic, like the warlocks in Coral Bay, but the warlocks' spells require magic and spirituality as a foundation, which is obviously different."

Demia seemed to have caught a glimpse of this scene.

The cute baby face turned a little pink and she quickly turned her eyes away in embarrassment.

"It doesn't match the spectrum of either magical spirituality or etheric spiritual energy. It is indeed a new type of energy."

Callister didn't notice.

She looked intently at the golden energy body.

I can clearly feel her desire for new knowledge.

"The most interesting thing is that it's mixed with connected spiritual frequencies. This means that this energy wasn't generated by him personally, and it has the characteristic of 'the more people who use this energy, the stronger the effect.'"

"So powerful? Wait a minute."

Rhodes was stunned for a moment.

An idea flashed in my mind.

Use by religious sects
The more people use it, the stronger it becomes.
Isn’t this the power of faith of a priest who worships God!
But there is no such thing as a priest in this world!

Moreover, as Mystra is about to become a god, she is currently in the process of digesting the spark of divinity. He doesn't think that anyone else can become a god before her.

Say what's on your mind.

Hear the words.

Callister was silent for a moment:
"Gods have never appeared before, and their reappearance is not necessarily dependent on the 'divine power' you mentioned.
One hundred and twenty years ago, scholars discovered the "group mental amplification effect" from dissecting the remains of the Ego tribe. This means that by learning a spell together and creating a resonance in the minds of many people, the spell's effectiveness can be enhanced.

Sharon touched her chin:
"I know that, but this kind of magical effect has very significant limitations, such as the casters must be within five meters of each other, the frequency and speed of chanting must be consistent, and the amplified power is not worth the cost, etc."

"Yes."

Callister nodded. "However, this group of people has a spiritual level of no more than level three, and there is not a single mage. How can this be..."

Gulu gulu——

Sudden.

Rhodes' stomach made a strange noise.

The women looked over.

"not me"

He raised his right hand.

Then the slime Xiao Hei climbed up slowly and unnaturally, with his palms dyed into black gloves of liquid metal.

It swallowed Bishop Arturo's head, and Rhodes asked it to carefully activate the effect of [Devouring Memory] and try to swallow it completely.

[Mind Link] in progress.

Xiao Hei felt pain and discomfort.

It indicated that there was something else in Bishop Arturo's head and asked Rod to allow it to come out.

"Spit it out now."

"vomit--"

Xiao Hei immediately made a vomiting sound.

A ball of black slime was suddenly secreted and fell to the ground with a plop.

But that was just a group of slimes.

There's nothing in it.

Demia's expression changed. "This is a spiritual creation, the same spiritual creation as that on Miss Daphne."
