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

Chapter 755 An Encounter 2
"It's you!"

Rosalia gasped in surprise, suddenly remembering that she had used a magical disguise.

I was about to tear off the magical face mask.

Rhodes waved his hand, stepped over the unconscious dwarves, and came to her side, reaching out to remove the short skirt armor with its slit.

He then grasped a palm-sized brass object in his hand.

The oval-shaped object, glowing red, was restless even when Rhodes held it in his hand, hissing and spewing out steam.

click-

With a burst of force from the five fingers, the brass immediately deformed and struggled, finally being crushed into a pile of scrap metal with a snap.

"We don't need to introduce ourselves; I can recognize you at a glance."

Rod smiled.

As usual, he told a little lie, not explicitly stating that he had used the [Insightful Eye].

She's a girl.

You should always make it clear that she is special to you.

Rosalia paused for a moment, then chuckled, "Your little tricks for charming girls won't work on me."

"What are you doing here? You're just a noob who hasn't even reached level eight."

"I heard there was a meeting here to deal with someone, so I came here specifically to see if I could dig out some information. Sigh, I should have known better than to come. It's such a big risk for a noob like me who isn't even at the eighth rank. If the other party doesn't appreciate it, that's one thing, but if they make sarcastic remarks, that would be even worse."

Rhodes couldn't help but smile.

He shifted his gaze from the things the dwarves were surrounding to the girl, and instinctively reached out to touch her face—it was just a habit.

But naturally.

Rosalia skillfully played hard to get, deftly dodging the offer and giggling, "I have nothing to do with you. Don't treat me like you would your girl. If anyone sees this, they'll be jealous."

"So what if you saw it? Our relationship goes far beyond just a fleeting encounter. In Campbell's maze, you..."

"Shut up!"

When Campbell's Maze is mentioned...

Rosalia immediately panicked.

When the butcher mage encountered the little fairy tragedy, he lost his usual composure and was actually tricked by this lecherous dog into helping him with his hand cannon!

"At that time, how were you any different from a scumbag who took advantage of a vulnerable situation?"

Rod laughed heartily, which made Miss Tooth Fairy even more embarrassed and indignant.

At that moment, half of Terry's head peeked out from the shadows.

Puffing out her cheeks and feigning cuteness, the succubus's old trick: "When are you two going to stop flirting? Get to work!"

Rhodes was somewhat relieved that he had come in and taken a quick look.

Once the powerful ritual set up outside is activated, it's uncertain whether the ninth-tier beings inside will survive, but the seventh-tier weakling Rosalia will likely be instantly melted.

Let's continue looking at the dwarves on the ground.

Let's tie them up and sweep them into the shadows first.

Let's look again at that "Heart of God" that they just said was "just one step away"—a square metal slab.

Even from the side where it is not yet fully fitted, you can see the intricate gears and various incomprehensible parts inside, all fitting together perfectly.

On the metal front with numerous welding lines, there is an obsidian fluorescent screen.

It's similar to the display screen of the dwarven spirit meter in Rhodes's spell bag.

It's rather unremarkable.

Speaking of which.

I clearly heard that cool female voice from [Rock Heart] just now, so why can't I see the corresponding device now?

Rhodes saw the prototype at the Magic Control Alliance; it was as big as a room.
I glanced at the metal brick in my hand. Could it be you?

Rhodes shook his head, deciding not to worry about it anymore.

The task at hand is urgent.

The two of them became a trio, and they once again disappeared into the shadows.

Continue swimming towards the next laboratory.

It can only be said that Rhodes was far too lenient with these academic guys who were conducting experiments on the front lines. After swimming half a lap, only a few lunatics whose experiments were too inhumane and who were laughing hysterically were cut off by him with a single stab.

The vast majority were knocked unconscious and thrown into the shadows.

As for the experimental content...
One forest ranger didn't care; he simply called it garbage.

The only thing worth noting is the mage in front of us who is performing a [large-scale dimensional collapse].

After watching for a while, I realized that they planned to use this spell to create a dimensional rift, try to suck Rhodes into it, and then use dimensional stitching technology to repair the rift.

So that it could achieve the goal of either trapping or permanently expelling Rhodes?

That mage guy is really something, his ideas are pretty good.

Seeing that Terry was watching very intently, Rhodes found it strange: "You study magic?"

Terry's little face was serious: "My dimensional rift technique, the one I used to stitch things up, should be slightly modified so that when you come in, Master, you can use my dimensional rift to bite you hard~~"

"."

Rosalia, also finding the language too crude, frowned and said, "Why are you, a succubus, always so unserious?"

"You'll get used to it. If you weren't there, she'd probably be searching for people with me while simultaneously using a hand cannon."

"Did I get in your way?"

"No, that's not it. I'm getting a little tired of her hands. They're too soft. I miss the combination of softness and firmness now, like the kind with an insect exoskeleton."

"."

Miss Tooth Fairy glared at him fiercely, and was immediately silenced.

Rhodes smiled and was about to kidnap the person. He wasn't too concerned about the [Large-scale Dimensional Collapse], but the stitching technique was quite interesting.

Suddenly, the researcher mage with three deputies froze, turning sharply to look at the location of their shadow.

"Who?!"

"."

Rhodes pursed his lips speechlessly, knowing without even using his senses that it definitely wasn't referring to them.

as predicted.

Not far away, a green shadow suddenly appeared behind them, instantly severing the heads of three henchmen, while the silver figure crashed directly into the magical shield of the research institute mage, who was filled with shock and uncertainty.

It's seeped through like a sieve!

Anyone can come in.

Rhodes slightly relaxed his senses and took a closer look, and was speechless again.

A spirited woman wielding a silver spear and clad in silver armor, the spear wreathed in crimson energy from the [Heroic Amplification] spell. Not far away, a half-deer-man, concealed by the [Beast Camouflage] spell, huddled into a ball.

An old acquaintance.

The heroine Grey and the half-deer girl Kira.

I encountered them once each in Kawa Kingdom and near Olive Town outside of [Cat Fairy Paradise].

He is the only hero candidate and hero recipient that Rhodes has a slight liking for.

Rod didn't waste any words.

Grey is quite capable, but her actions are too bold and prone to causing a commotion.

He leaped out of the shadows, and as usual, suddenly appeared with a [Moon Shadow Step], knocking the researcher mage unconscious with a single chop.

Grey was startled and immediately swung her huge silver spear. With a bang, a tongue of fire shot out, and she felt an extremely sticky force coming from her palm.

She looked on in horror and saw two fingers gripping the gun barrel.

"How is this possible?! It's you!"

"Your lines are really too standard. That's me."

Grey was heartbroken: "You're also a lackey of Igor's cult? I thought you were just a bit lecherous, but at least you had some principles. I never expected you to be like this."

"I already sneakily knocked this guy unconscious, and he's still calling me a lackey? Hey little Kira, your new hairstyle looks great!"

Kira, the half-deer, removed her [Beast Camouflage] and walked over, happily running her fingers through her slightly wavy, permed hair: "Really? Hehehe—"

Silly.
