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

Chapter 666 Immortality and Cleanliness

Are gods truly immortal?
Actually, I asked Mystra this question when Rhodes was promoted to the eighth rank last time.

Our goddess of magic had her skirt lifted up to her waist, and she stood on tiptoe to match the height of a certain forest ranger; her snow-white and plump legs are still imprinted in my mind.

Several halos of divine light swayed behind his head with the rise and fall of his head.

The mysterious and noble goddess's panting sounds were more like those of an innocent girl, hurried yet clumsy.

He answered Rhodes' questions, leaning against the magic wall, one pause after another.

Her train of thought was probably severely disrupted at that time, and she talked a lot but didn't get to the point.

To put it simply...

The most important divine power among the gods is the fusion with a certain law or domain.

For example, Mystra, as the first goddess, possesses a divine spark that allows her to merge with multiple fields such as the realm of magic and the realm of spells.

Magic exists, spells exist, which means she exists.

Even if she is physically destroyed one day, she will not die completely as long as there are people on the continent who use magic.

The fusion of multiple fields was used to create a magical sky screen that covered the earth.

Her strength increased as the number of people connected to the magic network grew.

If Mystra hadn't devoted almost all her attention to fighting the invasion from another dimension, Rhodes, as her father, would probably have been able to roam freely across this continent.

The same applies to Luna, the moon goddess.

As long as the races that worship the moon still exist, He who controls the moon's domain will also get a share.

It is impossible to kill Him completely unless His divinity is stripped away.

But that's something even the evil gods of the First Age couldn't do, let alone Rhodes.

A hint of disdain flashed in Luca's damaged eyes.

"Sealing? Enslavement spell? Human Rhodes, putting aside your magical skills, do you think there's any enslavement spell that can control a god? That's truly laughable."

Rod did not speak to Him.

He fiddled with the [Chain of Distant Words] and found the elf Kalista.

He did memorize the seal runes, but that doesn't mean he knows how to use them.

This is when we need to turn to our magic encyclopedia.

[Rhodes: Ms. Carly, are you there?]

【Calliste: Speak.】

back in seconds.

Miss Elf has been hiding in the lab investigating the beast-mutation disease in Shepherd Village's blood lately, so she should have time to reply quickly.

Rhodes briefly explained the current situation.

[Callista: An ancient deity?! Where is he?!]

Her voice was surprised, with a hint of excitement.

Rhodes knew she was definitely interested.

[Rhodes: This is a labyrinth controlled by the Protoss Star Society; they probably won't let you in.]

[Callista: Protoss Hayley? Hmph, the forest isn't that big. Human, don't bring any more women back.]

With that cold snort, Rhodes could already picture her sour face.

He glanced at the doll and four organs on the ground.

This shouldn't be considered a woman, right?

[Callista: You mean the runes of the First Age? Share vision, open it so I can see.]

The Chain of Distant Words also gains a more comprehensive effect after the second dragon body material of the Cursed Dragon Naulin is digested.

Sharing a view is somewhat different from playing video games.

The former can only see the view of the sharer, but not their appearance.

Both Rhodes and Calliste shared their vision of each other on their first attempt.

slam-la-

After a blur, Rhodes saw the familiar interior of the magic treehouse.

The table was covered with experimental materials, magical experimental apparatus, and boiling distillation bubbles.

There was also a unicorn stone sculpture lying quietly on the empty space on the table in front of me, and a whole bunch of magical jewelry, all of which were gifts from Rhodes.

In addition, there are cotton cloths, water, and various cleaning and maintenance tools on the table.

in the screen.

A pair of perfectly white, delicate hands were polishing a magic bracelet. Rhodes remembered it as the first magical item he had ever given to Calliste. She had stubbornly insisted that elves didn't need anything external.

【Ugh.】

At this moment, the owner of those hands suddenly froze, probably realizing that he was also sharing vision, and hurriedly pushed the jewelry box and unicorn stone sculpture away.

Then, realizing what was happening, I closed my eyes and adjusted the [Chain of Distant Words] to allow one-sided vision sharing.

[Callista: Cough. There's been too much dust lately, and the dust might affect the magic's effectiveness. This is the first time I've cleaned it. What are you laughing at!]

Rod stopped teasing her.

After a brief reassurance, let's get back to the main topic.

[Calliste: The Teterok script, one of the few recorded scripts found in the ruins of the First Age, belonging to an ancient lizardman tribe called Bank.]

[Rhodes: A script belonging to one tribe? Are the scripts of each tribe different?]

[Callista: That's right. The ancient lizardmen believed that writing represented different powers and beliefs, and tribes with different gods naturally had their own writing systems. Fortunately, the structures and sealing barriers they used were relatively primitive, and even an ignorant fellow like you could imitate them, but...]

[Rhodes: But?]

[Callista: But simply imitating it probably doesn't have any power. It must contain a power different from magic and spirituality. Let me think about how to modify it.]

[Rhodes: How long will it take?]

[Calliste: One month.]

Rhodes smiled bitterly.

"I can't wait that long."

[Callista: You think the transformation ritual can be completed in the blink of an eye? I bet you don't even understand the basics of magic! Come to class tomorrow!]

The elf lady's voice was displeased.

Luca, still dismissive, said, "Humans, you're out of options, aren't you? This is the ancient lizardmen using the power of those bastards through faith. You really think you can do it?"

Rhodes was taken aback: "Faith? The lizard people's faith?"

He scrolled down the panel and saw that he had recently obtained a new arcane technique from the natural phase tracing state.

[Superstition and Paranoia: Excessive vigilance towards mystical symbols or magical items outside of ancient lizard worship reduces the effectiveness by 10%; for those within one's faith, the effectiveness increases by 20%.]

"This Teterok script should also be considered a mysterious symbol, right?"

Say so.

Rhodes took the silver knife and tried to carve a few simple strokes on the doll.

Immediately, a silver light appeared.

[Callista: It worked? And even better?! What did you do?]

Rhodes was quite pleased with the surprise in the elf lady's tone.

The silver knife swung triumphantly in mid-air.

It's just a little trick.

[What's so smug about?]

"Impossible! You're not an ancient lizardman, so how can you use such a secret technique?"

Luca was shocked. "Are you a descendant of the ancient lizardmen?"

"You're the damn lizardman descendant."

Since it was effective, Rhodes stopped indulging his eyes.

Under Calliste's guidance, the headless man began to create a puppet-like cage to seal the four organs.

Less than half an hour.

Under a dazzling silver light, the four organs were integrated into the doll.

The doll's left eye also changed from a crystal polyhedron to a pale, complete eyeball.

"So what?"

After the initial shock, Luca continued to mock, "Do you think the materials used for this doll are comparable to the previous ones?"

Rhodes chuckled and hurled a enslavement curse at him.

Both the doll and Luca were already in a weakened state with low health, so the effect was successfully activated almost instantly.

Luca's smile froze on the doll's face.

Then, gradually, he revealed his terror and panicked screams.

"Who the hell are you?!"
