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

Chapter 767 Afterwards
Bloodstained streets, severed flags of the Igor Cult.

Those who held positions of authority, including those in the clergy, priests, deacons, and all those above the rank of deacon, were burned at the stake.

The moment dawn tears through the curtain of night.

The silver armor of the fallen soldiers was stained with the first rays of dawn, the crimson and faint light reflected on the faces of the kneeling high-ranking mages and warriors.

The reflection showed a trembling jaw, sweat-soaked clothes, and fingers spasming into claw shapes.

It was boundless despair and awe.

Regardless of his real name.

The Knight of Light, named Gorgon, stood amidst swirling mist, his figure growing ever darker and more indistinct.

The moment the sun breaks through the sky, it becomes the backdrop for him, allowing him to share the sky with the rising sun.

Under strong backlighting.

It was an increasingly dark appearance and figure.

Light and shadow intertwined around him, as if a divine oracle had descended.

"Boom—!"

The stake below was lit, and the exploding sparks mingled with screams.

All of this was witnessed by the residents who dared not go out, their wide-eyed stares filled with nothing but chill and fear.

"From today onwards, the Ego religion and its beliefs are banned throughout the entire continent, and violators will be executed."

The Sky Knight of Light made a merciless declaration.

"Isn't this going too far?"

Calliste sat on the hospital bed, looking at the man leaning against the door.

Next to her, Xiao Ke, a half-deer, was bandaging and treating her bloodied arm.

The man smiled broadly as he pinched the ear of Penny, the ghoul dressed as a nurse, and whispered some slightly suggestive words of love.

The ghoul, with its beautiful, innocent, deathly pale face, took a moment to react and burst into laughter.

He's just naturally unserious.

She immediately frowned, her beautiful brows furrowing.

I couldn't help but cough twice.

Before the man could react, Penny noticed the disgruntled elf lady.

He shrank back and walked away.

The ghoul lady was quite self-aware and held girls who had a good relationship with her master in the highest esteem.

As Rod watched the gloomy face walk away, he felt a pang of loss once more.

He said with a smile, "This is not as simple as a difference of ideas or disagreement. It's more like a clash between two different ways of life. It's not a dinner party, so there's no room for compromise."

"The accountability level is too low. Deacons are even lower than priests, and a large portion of them come from the congregation. Isn't this going too far?"

Miss Elf has a cold exterior but a warm heart.

She never refused any girl in the forest who asked her for help.

Even Terry, with whom she had never had a good relationship, had been checked up by Calliste quite a bit after she accidentally ingested the aphrodisiac.

"What I want is to overcorrect."

Rod shrugged.

He had just reached out and picked up a small piece of apple from the fruit plate next to the hospital bed when Xiao Ke, quick as a flash, slapped it off his hand.

"Don't use your hands! Aren't there skewers over there?"

".Okay, okay."

Rod poked a piece of apple at her and held it to her lips. "The first piece is for Xiao Ke's mom. Here, ah~"

The half-deer girl blushed and glared at him, seemingly indicating that Calliste was still there and that he shouldn't make any noise.

But she couldn't resist the sweet feeling in her heart when he offered to feed her.

Take a gentle bite, and the juice splashes onto the corner of your mouth, making it look even more vibrant.

Rod smiled and forked a piece for himself.

"So, when are we going back to the forest?"

Calliste glanced at the fruit platter, her expression inexplicably turning sour again.

"Today, I've taken over this medical facility. No one is allowed to come or go, but there are quite a few wounded outside. It's best to leave as soon as possible."

"Are you leaving today?"

Xiao Ke immediately became happy.

She didn't like staying here.

"Of course, I'll be leaving in a bit."

"Then I'll hurry up and heal the others too! Oh, Calliste, yours is all healed!"

talking.

The half-deer, nimble on its four legs, hurriedly summoned the spirit of light to the next wounded soldier's room. "So, that's it?"

The two watched the girl's departing figure.

Calliste asked again.

"I did make an appearance, but only to those few ninth-rank warriors who personally fought with me. They will publicly reveal our identity as the [Knights of Light]. Leaving early can be considered as purging the court of corrupt officials, but if I stay any longer, I might be forced to wear the imperial robes."

Rod plopped down on the edge of the bed and tucked her hair behind her ears.

But the elf lady didn't appreciate it.

He turned his head away with a sour, stiff expression.

"Moreover, our main targets are still the Ego Cult and the Ego Clan. Even if the Ego Clan is wiped out, there might be some survivors, but they are not a big deal. Once our [Light Knights] issue the order to exterminate the cult, those ninth-ranked individuals will be so scared that they will probably scramble to carry it out. They might even take credit for it and kill innocent people. Hehehe, such messy things are basically unavoidable. It's better to leave early and not provoke them."

"Again? They kill but don't bury?"

"Of course, that's always been my style. Isn't the forest nice? With mountains and water, it's the perfect choice for us to spend our retirement years."

"Who wants to spend their old age with a despicable human like you? I think your brain has been drained by that succubus, making you so lazy."

"Oh? You're interested in ruling a country? I can help you become empress."

"Hmph! Boring!"

Rhodes watched as the guy began to hurl insults.

He couldn't help but smile, forked a piece of fruit from the fruit plate, and held it to her lips.

This guy has been peeking at the fruit plate since earlier, probably because he's unhappy that Rod fed Xiao Ke but not her.

"Come on, ah~"

"These little tricks might work on Xiao Ke, but do you think they'll work on me? Hmm (chewing) —"

"Is it sweet?"

“Not sweet.”

"One more, please!"

"I don't like fruit, and I especially don't like the fruit you offer me, ugh (chewing) —"

Is this sweet?

"Not sweet."

"Never mind then, we won't eat this."

Rod grinned wickedly.

Calliste brushed her hair aside, a hint of panic and reluctance in her expression, her snow-white ear tips tinged with pink: "Actually, it's alright, quite sweet."

"Shall we have another piece?"

"If you insist on feeding me, there's nothing I can do about it—"

Rhodes emerged from Calliste's room, wiping his cheeks with fruity lipstick marks.

The medical facility in Radiant City has a very good environment.

Just a few steps along the corridor from the private ward is a small courtyard filled with greenery.

An elegant figure stood by the courtyard, her dress accentuating her graceful curves.

The insect's striking thin-winged ears stand upright, exuding a dignified and heroic air.

In a trance.

Rhodes' thoughts returned to the magic network space.

Rosalia came of her own volition.

Like an insect's exoskeleton that cinches the waist, it directly supports the thick, soft flesh, stretching the waist to a natural extreme of slenderness, combined with the hips and buttocks that are perfect for a natural birth.

It's a perfect combination of inhuman and human characteristics.

"Rod."

The Tooth Fairy Rosalia gently awakens her.

"Rosalia, how are your injuries?"

"Thank you for your concern, it's nothing. Miss Yuna was protecting me the whole time."

"Really? Just in case, let me check. You might not know, but Xiao Ke's medical skills are actually passed down from me."

Rosalia chuckled lightly: "Alright, I haven't yet experienced your medical skills. However, before that..."

Her smile faded, and her eyes held a complex expression.

"If—and I mean if—your enemies were all easily killed by someone in one night, and all your plans and schemes were no longer needed, leaving you in a state of emptiness, how would you get out of that situation?"

"That must be the benefactor who offered himself to you."

"That's a good idea~~ Stop kidding, I'm serious."

Rhodes suppressed his smile and pondered seriously for a moment.

"How about becoming an empress?"
