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

Chapter 621 The Race of Lightning

In the end, Vanessa accepted the blood.

He also promised Rhodes that he would make three machines for creating ring blanks.

Of course, this is on the condition that he pays the money.

It was only then that Rhodes realized that the machine in question was built by the zombie Selena using her own salary.

It cost quite a bit.

It seems like it would cost forty or fifty thousand gold coins, Aron.

But it's not a big problem. Judging from its output, it will make back its profits in no time.

Selena is very aware of her situation.

Even after Rhodes paid her the extra money and asked her what she wanted, she only said she wanted a few more employees to help her so she could have more free time to do research.

Rhodes smiled.

They decided to send Penny the ghoul, Chris the banshee, and Bond the pony to work illegally here.

With the addition of the vampire Vanessa, it would probably lighten her burden considerably.

All I can say is that zombies are incredibly resilient; they worked day and night without breaking down.

This made Rhodes wonder if he should enslave a few more zombie girls to work illegally.

After leaving the underground research lab.

As usual, Rod took a stroll over the planting area.

From afar, one could see the tree spirit Vivian digging holes and planting trees.

Bond the pony and Tracy the squirrel rolled around on the ground, seemingly seeing who could roll the farthest, their clothes filthy and disgusting.

Rod planted five or six trees, then asked Terry to help him while he sat down to rest.

Being lazy is one aspect.

Another aspect is the "budding" phase of the [Child of Nature], which naturally allows trees to grow rapidly.

He can benefit the newly planted saplings just by taking a stroll around; let others do the actual work.
I sat under a tree, sheltering from the rain.

Rhodes' thoughts drifted to the new spiritual spell, [Lightning Strike].

This spiritual technique is said to be inspired by the storm giant's ability to control lightning.

After all, the focus is on activating the resonance of blood vessels within the body.

Its main training method involves training in thunderstorms while enduring small lightning strikes, using physical immunity to feel the flow of lightning within the body.

Thunderstorms are not necessarily something you have to look for.

Rhodes's spell bag contains a bunch of energy stones that store lightning, seized from the Battle of Coral Bay, which can replace the damage from minor lightning strikes.

However, the accompanying potion requires two materials: Storm Eagle Feather and Blue Copper Ore.

Neither of these items are available in Twilight Hills; you'll need to purchase them from the Magic Control Alliance.

Thinking.

Rhodes took out a lightning energy stone, activated the lightning, and let it flow over his body.

On the other hand, he comprehended the method of [Thunderstrike Tendon].

Bright white lightning bolts covered his entire body, making him appear to glow.

Terry, who always kept a close eye on her owner, immediately noticed the person carrying a sapling and asked curiously:

"Is this a new way to play, Master? Terry doesn't really like lightning. If she's paralyzed, she won't be able to feel Master's friction and outline."

"No, it's just practicing some new things."

Vivian also came over and poked Rhodes' arm.

A crackling arc of electricity flashed, and she shuddered slightly, shrinking back.

She blinked her big, white eyes and said, "Rhodes, Lightning, Vivian, I like them too."

Terri looked at her with displeasure: "I'm usually the one who says things like that. You're starting to sound like a slut, Vivian."

Vivian clearly didn't understand what "bitch" meant, and tilted her head cutely.

She slowly rested her face against Rod's chest.

Her slightly wavy, blue hair stood up straight in no time from the electric shock.

Miss Tree Spirit's lightning resistance is clearly not very good.

"I want it too~"

Terry leaned her head in as well, taking over the other side of Rhodes' chest.

Two girls face each other.

The succubus looked jealous and envious, while the tree spirit seemed innocent and pure. "Rhodes, are you guys playing around?! I want to join too!"

Bond, the little horse girl, also laughed and skipped over, hugging Rhodes from behind.

Then he shuddered and burst into laughter, his voice trembling.

"It feels so tingly and numbing, so comfortable~~"

Her lightning resistance was significantly higher, so it seemed like it had no effect on her at all.

After all, centaurs already have considerable resistance to all attributes.

Little Bond, who shares this lineage, is naturally no exception.

Rhodes looked strange and somewhat embarrassed.

The little one is a big girl now.

behind.

It has a soft texture and an impressive amount of weight.

The elderly father was a little embarrassed again.

He could only try to relax and stop overthinking.

Focus on practicing spiritual arts.

As for the warrior's spiritual magic...

To be fair, most of it is just the painstaking work of honing one's physical skills.

It's different from magic, which requires mastering techniques and methods of use.

But Rhodes had a different idea.

He currently has expertise in seven fields.

This excludes the [Green Grass Domain] gifted by Daphne Argyle, as well as the [Maintain Domain] illegally obtained after using Eva the Ancient Tree of the Sky.

Three of them, Plague, Obsession, and Fire, were obtained during Rhodes's seductive process.

The most exaggerated is the fire domain.

Before this, Rhode hadn't learned many fire-type skills, but after a great battle with 23 fire spirit girls, he mastered them immediately!

In contrast, there are the areas of defense and disguise.

One is the Dragon Scale Technique, which is used extensively in almost every battle; the other is the domain obtained through [Dark Plunder].

These two things had nothing to do with "se" (涩, a Chinese word meaning "sexy" or "absent"), yet it took me three or four months to finally understand them.

"So, during the middle of my learning journey, my comprehension and learning abilities were at their peak."

Rhodes nodded, thinking it was highly likely.

He immediately pinched the soft flesh of Terry's waist in his arms, making her giggle.

Are there any intelligent races associated with lightning?

The succubus is an expert in this area, so asking her is the best option.

Terry gave him a strange look: "Do you want one that can do that?"

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have asked you."

"Blue Dragonborn half-dragons, storm giants, storm-born warlocks, air elementals, lightning gnomes, lightning golems, lightning-forged liches, and lightning-forged spirits."

As expected of Terri.

Without even thinking, they immediately knew it like the back of their hand.

Rhodes stroked his chin: "It seems like only the blue dragon descendants of half-dragons are somewhat reliable."

Giants, golems, dwarfs?
Hmm... I think I'll pass.

Terry's legs went weak from his tickling, sweat beaded on her skin, and her eyes sparkled with desire as she lazily clung to Rod.

"Speaking of the Twilight Hills area... hmm... the only thing that might be associated with lightning is the harpy in Eagle Claw Canyon..."

"Hobbits?"

"The latent bloodline of high-ranking harpies will eventually be activated, granting them the ability to manipulate storms and summon lightning—usually the clan leader. Don't stop, Master!"

"Aren't you being a little too sensitive? I was just tickling your waist."

“Disgusting~~”

Bond, standing behind them, overheard their conversation.

He rested his chin on the top of Rod's head, pressed his chest firmly against the back of his head, and said with a smile:
"Rhodes, do you want to play with lightning? I can too! Just come play with me!"
