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

Chapter 705 Refining
Rhodes had also witnessed this kind of fear on the face of Luna, the moon goddess.

At first, he thought it was just the delusion of Luca, the moon goddess, a madwoman with disordered memories, and didn't pay much attention to it.

But when we met again now...

Rhodes was almost certain that their fears were of the same kind.

Is it the fear of the "Great Cultivator's Pruning Shears" and the fear of becoming a War Spirit?
The former, despite Rhodes' increased investment, has not become associated with the title of 'semi-divine artifact'.

However, during this period of time, this Rose Goddess has been one of the few opponents who could make him activate this weapon, and [Black Gold Attachment] is naturally the first time for her.

The skill enhancement above increased [Impurity Removal] from +13 to +20, which did make Rhodes realize something from the Great Scissors.

As for the latter.

The battle spirit advancement path he created might have a significant role to play in the future timeline of the evil god.

It is worth mentioning that.

Following in the footsteps of Naga Eve, Tieflin Sehir, a high-level sixth-tier cultivator, is also preparing to pursue the Battle Spirit path.

After all, she had just undergone surgery to remove the smell of demonic sulfur, and the seventh-tier path of Tifflin usually continues to revolve around the demonic bloodline. It would be strange if Cecily was willing to do that.

However, the Battle Spirit system is not weak either.

"Are you alright, Vivian?"

Rhodes remained stiff and motionless, with veins bulging on his forehead.

The immense spirituality emanating from him was almost tangible, moving without wind, causing his linen vest to rustle.

After using the "symbiotic relationship" of the Child of Nature to connect one's own spiritual veins with the rose tree, one is almost constantly fighting against the consciousness of the Rose Goddess within.

With the operation of the [Battle Soul Workshop], the current forest ranger is in a rare state of full strength.

Vivian was once struck by the Rose Goddess's domain, though nothing serious happened to her.

Miss Tree Spirit's fair and calm face remained expressionless. She neither hugged nor held hands, but simply rested her shoulder against Rhodes' arm.

"Daphne, release, Vivian."

"Oh?"

Did Daphne help her get rid of it?
Rod looked curiously at the woman whose chest was adorned with pruning shears taller than a person.

On the desolate ground, the weakened Daphne was horribly cleaved in two by the terrifying slashes that nearly split her in two from shoulder to chest. The crimson petals falling from her body slowly obscured Vivian's barrage of attacks.

Perhaps she intentionally relaxed her defenses, otherwise it would have been quite difficult for Vivian, who was at the early stage of the eighth rank, to break through.

As for why she only helped Vivian.

Perhaps it's because they are also of the same tree spirit race, and only have a small amount of spare power left.

"The problem now is..."

Rhodes glanced sideways at Calliste, who was glaring at him.

At this moment, she was unable to move under the binding effect of the [Moon's Curse], and was tied up and hung on the tree by the smug Terry.

But the resentment and regret in their eyes are very distressing.

"Never mind, let's refine this guy first!"

After two brief moments of shock and fear, the Rose Goddess fell completely silent, preparing to face the situation with all her might as if facing a formidable enemy.

This is not a good situation.

【Battle Soul Workshop】can indeed be linked to 【Green Grass Domain】, but the other party has a 【Chastity Domain】 of up to 112, and is particularly good at the 'resistance' aspect, which almost completely blocks the speed and progress of the spirit devouring process.

However, it is not entirely impossible.

The "symbiotic relationship" continues to connect the spiritual veins, and the "Child of Nature" also makes the Rose Tree itself feel infinitely close to Rhodes.

Two against one.

We're currently in a stalemate, a protracted battle.

Rhodes was about to devote all his attention to it.
Before it even started, a shadow appeared in front of us.

Terry's cute and delicate face slowly rose, a mischievous grin on her face.

"Master, it seems I can't move anymore~~"

"What do you want to do?" "Nothing much~ Mommy Terry just wants to punish that naughty little rascal~~ About the little rascal secretly hooking up with that grumpy elf behind Mommy Terry's back~~"

Her appearance changed, from a lean, dark elf in battle attire to a mature and alluring elven wife.

Her snow-white cheeks were flushed with an intoxicating blush, and Terri knelt down, panting heavily.

A pair of phoenix eyes, glowing with pink light, looked up and met her gaze captivatingly, her pearly teeth biting her belt.

"You should know I'm on important business, right?"

"Mom is also helping that little rascal Rod with some important business. The little rascal said that certain insights gained during a period of passion can rapidly enhance one's abilities. Isn't now the perfect time?"

"Then why did you secretly carve succubus runes on my body?"

"Ugh~~ I hate it~~"

Terri stared intently at the projectile, her face beaming with a mixture of eagerness and intoxication.

"She smells sweaty after the battle. But Mommy Terry doesn't mind~~ Awoo—"

"."

Rhodes thought about it and realized it wasn't such a bad thing after all.

The "Final Tide" of [Enchanting Fluid] can corrode and devour authority and domain. Pouring it on the rose tree might further weaken the Rose Goddess's domain.

He glanced at Vivian, who was leaning against his shoulder.

The temperature on her shoulder rose slightly, and her large, bright eyes glanced blankly at Terry, who was busily working.

"Wow~ Oh? Is Vivian's mom going to join in the fight against the little rascal too?"

When Terry met her gaze, she immediately smiled broadly and made way for her.

Compared to the other girls, she didn't seem to dislike Vivian as much, perhaps because Vivian was naturally uncompetitive and could add flavor to the atmosphere.

"Leave her alone."

Rhodes smelled the scent of Vivian's hair and didn't want her to leave.

However, Miss Tree Spirit did not seem to hear Rhodes' words. She nodded to Terry and became obedient.

“Mom, Vivian, bad guy, Rod.”

"."

Oh no, he's gone astray.

The beautiful face of the Rose Goddess reappears on the surface of the tree trunk.

Enraged, she roared, "Damn impure one!! What are you doing to that pure tree spirit?! Let her go!! Take your succubus and get out of here!!!"

Please, who let go of whom? I didn't move.

Rod grinned crookedly: "Hehe, not only will I do that, I'll also pour it all over you."

"you dare?!!"

"Wait a minute, my spiritual veins are connected to the rose tree's. You can't possibly understand how I feel, can you?"

Her beautiful and pure face froze instantly.

Even though she didn't have that thing when she still had a body, she shouldn't have this kind of empathy, but it just so happens that the man's emotions and pleasure do indeed spread to her spiritual body along the spiritual veins of the rose tree.

Rhodes laughed heartily, and immediately the "symbiotic relationship" spread into Vivian's body, allowing her, as a tree spirit, to be connected as well.

"Hahahaha—Vivian, come on! Use every trick in the book!"

Vivian vomited it out.

Her innocent, large eyes evoked pity: "Rhodes called her Vivian, 'Mom.'"

"."

"Hahahahaha-"

Now it was Terry's turn to laugh.

I bit you, you bastard!
