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

Chapter 647 Change and Intrusion

"Oh? You fainted from fright?"

Killing cannot be real killing.

After all, it was a trial of competition among colleagues, and since Rhodes wasn't participating as the main character, he still took some consideration for Hayley's future career.

He grabbed the person and jumped down, landing steadily.

He then casually tossed it to his feet.

Then Rhodes looked provocatively at the blue dragon howling in pain.

The blue dragon narrowed its yellow amber eyes and made a threatening growling sound in its throat.

They stared at each other for two or three seconds.

The group sighed and obediently lowered their heads.

He pulled the unconscious Protoss Bovalo back to his side and lay down without moving.

Arrogance is arrogance.

The Protoss's enslavement tools are formidable, even capable of sharing life and death with their masters; it has no desire to give up its life for them.

Hailey quickly stepped forward.

"Wait a moment, I will use my magic to heal you."

Rhodes reached out and caught the black slime that flew from Haley's arms.

Xiao Hei seemed aggrieved, and then affectionately and excitedly explored his entire body.

"It's alright, the injury isn't serious."

Rhodes looked at the newly appeared [Lightning Resistance +1] and [Lightning Strike Strength +3] on the panel, his expression indifferent.

The dragon's breath is truly powerful.

Although everyone had stopped exerting their strength.

The storm from that hobbit chieftain in Eagle Claw Canyon, to be honest, has a really low lightning content.

Another half month has passed, and not only has [Lightning Sinew] only reached +1, but the lightning resistance hasn't even been farmed yet.

Forget it.

I won't go there anymore.

Anyway, that old man's already tired of it all, so it's better for him to stay home and continue interacting with other girls.

"you sure?"

Hailey remained worried.

She noticed that Rod's shirt had carbonized and was now completely falling away, revealing a beautifully sculpted, strong, and natural physique.

She longed to look at Rod's face, but her eyes involuntarily drifted downwards.

In her mind, the body lines of the male god in the shoujo manga merged with Rod's bulging flesh, making it impossible for Hayley to distinguish between them.

Rod noticed her gaze.

He cautiously took a step back and gently protected his chest.

Hailey felt guilty, a faint glow flickering across her face, but she still feigned displeasure: "What do you mean? You think I'm looking at you!?"

"Just in case, you know, I have several jealous girls in my family."

She was so angry that she laughed, and kept chuckling.

"I wouldn't even look at you! What a joke!"

Rod smiled, not caring.

He grabbed a random piece of clothing from his magic bag and put it on.

"There's something wrong with the fog here, so use your magic sparingly."

"Something's wrong?"

Hailey paused for a moment, then her expression changed as she focused her senses. "The mist is absorbing my magic."

"me too."

"That's impossible! The Pale Corridor doesn't have such environmental rules!"

Rhodes glanced at the maze environment on the panel.

[Mist: Significantly reduces spiritual effects such as perception, magic sense, magical vision, and darkvision.]

Indeed, there was no mention of absorbing magic or spirituality.

"Perhaps the rules of the maze are changing."

"That's possible. The appearance of the Magic Net Canopy has indeed changed quite a few things."

Hailey didn't interfere much, since the absorption of magic power was very slow.

She walked toward Boileau.

The blue dragon, coiled around itself, let out a threatening growl, its face revealing arrogance and disdain.

If I can't beat that guy, I can beat you, right?

"Ok?"

Rod gave a cold snort.

The blue dragon turned its head away unwillingly, angrily exhaling two breaths, and crackling arcs of electricity scorched the fallen leaves and soil on the ground.

Hailey didn't see it and thought that their victory had subdued the dragon.

With a smug smile, he excitedly approached Boileau and took a crystal pendant with a black metal chain from his waist.

With a gentle activation of magic, the crystal pendant shattered.

hum-

The spell path of the teleportation circle began to be drawn automatically on the ground of Blue Dragon and Bovalo, and quickly took shape.

A beam of light rose up from below.

As the pillar of light faded, the blue dragon and Boileau also disappeared.

Since it wasn't a life-or-death trial, the Star Association distributed items to leave the maze; once activated, the qualification would be revoked.

And at the same time.

A clear, cold female voice echoed through the sky, its volume clearly amplified by the [Illusionary Sound Technique].

[Trial participant number 12, Bovalo Vagola, has been eliminated. All trial participants, please continue—]

The announcement abruptly stopped, drowned out by a jarring noise.

Rhodes frowned: "It seems the Star Association's repairs to this maze are not complete."

Hailey was a little embarrassed: "I heard it's because there's a new position that urgently needs manpower. I'm not too sure. It's understandable that it was a bit rushed, but since it's been opened up, there shouldn't be any security issues."

As she spoke, she calmly extended her hand to Rhodes. "Come on, let's hold hands."

"I've just been through a battle, and my mark is hotter than ever. I'm afraid holding hands won't be enough."

"What do you mean?"

"Come and give me a hug."

Hailey's face stiffened, a hint of panic in her eyes: "A hug? Isn't that too fast?"

"What are you talking about? Aren't we here for a trial?" Rhodes asked seriously.

"That's true. Well then, let's go."

She opened her arms, her fingertips trembling slightly.

The feeling of my heart pounding returned.

What's wrong with Hailey?! She wasn't this flustered when she deliberately exposed herself before! What kind of feeling is this?!
Rod smiled and pulled her into his arms.

One hand reached over his waist, the other pressed against his back, and he pressed deeply inside.

At the same time, a terrifying sensation on his chest also frantically invaded Rhodes' mind.

Hayley's scent has a slight metallic note, but is more of a blend of woody aromas.

She was about 1.75 meters tall, which is considered tall for a girl, but she looked much smaller when Rhodes held her in his arms.

"Are you all better yet?"

Hailey's voice trembled, her face hidden behind her slightly wavy, shoulder-length hair.

Damn!

Why does this thing smell so good?! Why is it so hot?!

Why does it seem like I'm about to be conquered by him?

Counterattack! Counterattack!
I'm going to fight back, damn it!!

Ugh, my legs are a bit weak.
[Trial participant number 12, Bovalo Vagola, has been eliminated. All trial participants, please continue—]

Medlin looked up at the sky that had emitted the piercing, shrill announcement, and was taken aback:
"Boileau? Didn't he just acquire a new blue dragon? It's the first one to be eliminated."

Before entering the Pale Corridor, she deliberately hinted to him about Hayley's whereabouts.

Given this suitor's character, he would undoubtedly cause trouble for Hailey and that man immediately.

"Is that impossible?"

A magical doll dressed in a dark green velvet belted dress gracefully floated down from mid-air, its silken threads dancing in the air.

Medlin continued to gaze into the air, but the staff in her hand roared with magical power, unleashing a [Disintegration] spell.

The magical light instantly transferred to the giant cleaver in the hand of the charging golem.

Boom!
The machete flashed with a dazzling magical light, then shattered into countless fragments.

At the same time, the flying threads in the sky suddenly contracted, binding a rock golem tightly in the blink of an eye.

"Damn it!"

The crystal polyhedron's eyes were devoid of any emotion, and the doll's fingers, with their distinct joints, were abruptly clenched.

With a whoosh, the golem was instantly sliced ​​into pieces under extreme pressure.

The trial participant opposite him looked unwilling and dejectedly lowered his hands, which were about to cast a spell.

"Damn it, I ran into Medlin right from the start."

Medlin blinked, then quietly darted to the trial participant's side, unleashing a close-quarters "Fragrance Breeze" move.

He added with a seductive smile: "Any news about the token? I can compensate you with a two-headed ogre later."

The other person's heart definitely raced.

His eyes were darting nervously, and he dared not look at her.

Medlin clenched his fist secretly.

My personal Chanel-inspired perfume still works!
There's no doubt about it, Hailey's man is definitely a castrated bastard! It has absolutely nothing to do with my charm!
".real?"

"of course."

Two-headed ogres are larger than ordinary ogres, reaching up to 4 meters in height.

They also have higher intelligence, which means they can execute more instructions.

More importantly, there have been cases on the market of two-headed ogres learning simple spells.

A strong, perceptive, dual-wielding fighter (also due to his two heads) who may be able to learn magic!

It’s beautiful just to think about it.

Without further hesitation, the trial participant pointed to a spot: "That's the Silent Throne, the location of one of the tokens. I just passed by there."

Medlin asked curiously, "Why don't you go in yourself?"

Then she saw genuine fear on the other person's face.

"It's different now. The Silent Throne is different, unlike anything recorded before. You'll see when you get there."

"Perhaps it's due to the influence of the magic net canopy. The labyrinth was repaired by the Prophet Mortas, so there shouldn't be any major problems."

"I don't know, but just be careful."

"Thanks for the reminder. The two-headed ogre will be delivered to your home soon."

The defeated trial participant nodded and crushed the teleportation crystal.

A beam of teleportation light descended, and he vanished along with it.

The voice of the heavens rang out again, but this time the noise was even more outrageous.

[Trial participant number 8, 'beep-zzzt+-*/*' eliminated. Please continue with '.***-/beep-'.]

As the mist crawled along, the dim forest was completely bathed in the pale moonlight of the sky, turning it into a deathly bluish-gray.

A gust of wind blew through the pores of my skin, raising goosebumps.

Medlin frowned, scanning the deserted, gloomy woods, and muttered in dissatisfaction:
"What on earth are the people who repaired the maze up to?"

However, retreating is impossible.

She called the magic doll over and, somewhat frightened, took its arm.

Head towards the location of one of the tokens, the 'Silent Throne'.

As Medlin disappeared completely into the mist, a figure emerged shakily from the bushes.

The superstar cloud sprite, Lyra Starwhisper, stared in horror, her eyes wide and her face turning deathly pale.

Her slender hands, with veins bulging, gripped the pendant hanging around her neck tightly, her eyes fixed on any possible source of sound like a frightened bird.

"Where are you, Ro. Rod?!"
