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

Chapter 748 Exchange
The growth of the [Wailing Ice Tree] is rampant.

It was visible almost to the naked eye, in the air where there was nothing to hold onto, on the top of towers, in the ruins on the ground, and by the eaves of collapsed buildings.

It grows everywhere.

With the effect of [Ability Sublimation], when [Illidan's Ice Blade Domain], which has reached +23, forcibly summons [Wailing Ice Tree], which amplifies frost power, it no longer needs to sacrifice 50% of its spirituality.

Rhodes's almost limitless spiritual capacity reached its peak at this moment.

Hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands of [Wailing Ice Trees] densely covered almost the entire Ghost City.

Austin's pupils dilated as he sensed a terrifying power gathering from the man beside him.

He twitched the corners of his mouth.

He immediately decided to turn around and frantically escape from the area that might be affected.

The scorching desert air suddenly froze.

The temperature around us plummeted, the sand underfoot froze into tiny ice crystals, and the moisture in the air condensed into suspended frost flowers.

Rhodes opened his eyes, which were now a bright, pale blue.

Along with its throat, it also burst forth with dazzling brilliance.

An ancient dragon roar, not belonging to humankind, burst forth from his chest.

Dragon's Breath! Ice Blade Domain Edition!

Add [Blessing of the Ancient Tree of the Sky +10]!!

next moment.

A jet of icy blue dragon breath, over ten meters in diameter, erupted forth.

The breath struck the colossus's chest, instantly causing spiderweb-like ice cracks to spread across the thick granite armor, and the tentacles parasitizing the evil god stiffened and shattered in the extreme cold.

It turned into black ice shards and peeled off in a rustling sound.

The colossus roared in resistance.

But intense frost spread along the colossus's limbs, making its movements increasingly sluggish.

The raised giant hammer froze in mid-air into a twisted ice sculpture, and the eyeballs at the ends of its tentacles burst due to the freezing, splashing out pitch-black ice slurry.

Five seconds later.

The dragon's breath completely engulfed the colossus, rendering its movements almost nonexistent.

The roar faded away, leaving only a faint, crackling sound, like shattering glass.

The colossus was also transformed into a towering ice sculpture monument.

Rodha emitted a large cloud of white mist and stood proudly.

He glanced at the prompts on the panel that kept indicating the area he had encountered.

This frost-based attack did not have a corresponding area, so no collision was triggered.

And that colossus possesses the [Rock Domain].

Currently, it is under spiritual support due to the penetration of ice, and under the force of gravity, it is making a cracking sound as if it is about to collapse.

"It's not necessarily true that only a domain can fight against another domain."

[Callista: Damn it!! We almost got caught in the crossfire!!]

[Terry: Aaaaaah! My feet are frozen by my owner! I can't get up without a kiss!]

[Chris: North! Master! There's a treasure vault to the north! Freeze it quickly! The people of Shadow City are scattering!!]

[Vivian: Ice tree, Rhodes, cool, comfortable.]

[Penny: Ah! Master! Waaaaah! My undead army has been frozen to death by you. Waaaaah!]

Listening to the girl's private messages on the Chain of Distant Words.

Rod looked down.

Only then did they discover that, centered on the colossus, a vast expanse of desert and castle buildings had been transformed into a mirror-like ice field, with all the rising dust frozen into ice crystal sculptures.

Even enemies who managed to escape the area suffered from bleeding from their mouths and noses due to rapid freezing, and their skin was covered with frost-covered cracks.

"gentlemen."

Austin's awe-inspiring shouts rang out from not far away.

"What? You want to come again?"

Rhodes shrugged. "Seeing this scene, I, an old man, was already terrified. How could I dare to lay a hand on him? If I'm not mistaken, you are Mr. Rhodes, the forester of Twilight Hills, aren't you?"

"."

"I can't think of anyone else with such strength at the peak of the eighth rank. I still vividly remember the news that you recently refined the Dharma and defeated three ninth-rank cultivators on your own."

Ok.

It seems that concealing one's identity was rather clumsy.

Rhodes has an outstanding record and receives a lot of attention, and his classic moves are well-known.

Using it is like introducing yourself, which is too difficult.

But Rod is a respectable man.

They cannot bring themselves to openly reveal their identity.

"Oh? There's another man as outstanding as me? That's really something. I imagine the forest ranger must be quite handsome as well."

Austin smiled and said, "It seems the old man was wrong. That Mr. Rhodes is not only handsome and dashing, but also a polite, refined, and elegant young nobleman."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha--"

These words hit someone's sweet spot, and they burst into laughter.

Slowed down for a moment.

"Enough with the idle talk, what are you doing here if you're not going to get out?"

This old man has no spiritual creations; you can tell at a glance he's a seasoned sly old fox.

Moreover, those who are willing to take care of their old soldiers and comrades usually have some bottom line.

After all, the ninth rank represents the highest combat power in the real dimension. With the threat from the other dimension still present, it's best to kill as few as possible.

Austin glanced at the frozen colossus.

"Jonas is a good person. He was forced to be controlled by the Ego Cult. I still want to save his life."

"The elven swordsmanship you speak of?"

"【No Thought】I learned it from the sword dance of the elves when they suppressed their inner desires. Unfortunately, my talent is limited, and I estimate that I only have a 10% chance of successfully cutting it down."

Austin's expression remained unchanged as he looked at Rhodes.

“But you are different. I have never seen someone as young as you master the Flash of Aetheron to such an extent. Therefore, this sword [No Thought] may be able to exert even greater power in your hands.”

Rhodes's eyes looked strange.

Is that old man trying to take advantage of me?

He taught me a sword technique out of nowhere, and then claimed that he had taught it to Ranger Rod?
"Let's exchange ideas. How about I teach you the practice methods and techniques for breaking through from [Twelve Flashes] to [Twenty-Four Flashes]?"

"So good!"

Communication between soldiers is not uncommon.

Exchanging various weapons and spiritual spells is even more common.

Spirit warriors are much more rugged than mages, and very few of them compile their spells into books like mages do.

Rhodes was blessed with a large number of spirit seeds.

He learned the [Sword of No Thought] in less than five minutes.

Austin didn't even understand the key point of [Twenty-Four Flashes], and looked at Rhodes with astonishment and confusion in his eyes.

"If it were you, you might really be able to save the building from collapse."

The old man suddenly knelt down from mid-air.

"Sir... no, Sir Gorgon of the Knights of Light! We beg you to save the Kingdom of Aetheron! The Ego Cult is wreaking havoc on the kingdom and driving people to their deaths! We have suffered under the Ego Cult for far too long! If you do not abandon us, old man Austin, all the veterans of the Ashblade, and a host of old friends will follow you to the very end! Let Aetheron be great again!"

really
Once one's identity is exposed, they will inevitably be the subject of speculation.

And so, the scene with the dragon robe begins.

The old man isn't exactly a peaceful person either.

Rod had no relevant experience or understanding, and considered his political thinking to be naive and immature, so he naturally had no intention of getting involved in this chaotic mess.

He looked down indifferently.

"The sword in my hand only kills, it doesn't save. Whoever provokes me will be killed. This time it's the Ego Cult, the next one is yet to be determined. If you have any ideas, you can give it a try."
