Chapter 35: Late Night with the Witch

By the time Rod had collected all the green liquid that had melted the magic, four hours had already passed.

The proud elves naturally would not help.

They could only make the horse-girls serve as child labor.

When leaving the Pristine Crystal Land, the three of them hesitated for quite a while.

Because neither the elves nor Rod possessed spells to conceal their forms, and outside the Demonized Cave there were vast numbers of Winged Crystal Clan members and other races.

Her tight-fitting clothes before had all been made by plant spells, but the Pristine Crystal Land was entirely crystal stones; there were absolutely no plants available to use.

Lady Kali's face was so sour that she insisted on waiting until no one was outside before she would leave.

But the races outside worked day and night; when would there ever be a time when no one was around?

In the end, Rod lent her the 【Guardian Veil】, and taking advantage of the moment when no one was watching, they slipped away secretly.

By the time they returned to the forest, it was already deep night.

Little Little Bangde had already fallen asleep on Rod's back.

Lady Kali recreated clothing.

"Give my clothes back."

He had to take Little Little Bangde to Miss Xiao Ke's place; he couldn't possibly go without a shirt on his upper body.

Lady Kali held the short shirt, looking coldly at the other party.

"No." After a moment of silence, she flatly refused and stated that she would burn it herself tonight.

Rod, of course, guessed what she meant.

Wasn't it just that she thought he would do something to this shirt she had worn?

"Who cares about you."

Fortunately, Lady Kali personally returned the horse-girl to Miss Xiao Ke's residence, which saved some trouble.

As soon as Rod returned to the Ranger's Cabin.

The succubus, starved for a day, flew over and hugged his neck, unwilling to let go.

After a frantic oral examination, both of them, under the effect of the 【Charming Fluid】, got carried away.

At this moment, Rod suddenly realized.

His short shirt was stained with sweat, and Lady Kali had been in direct skin contact with it; would it be that...

But after recalling the situation, he found that the elf had shown absolutely no reaction.

"Perhaps elves have very strong resistance."

Before he could think further, Tally was deeply aroused, her eyes blood-red, her arms hugging him tightly, as if she wanted to stick every inch of her skin to his chest.

In the forest, the rhythm of life sounded once again.

"Damn succubus."

Inside the treehouse.

Lady Kali changed into a more relaxed outfit and sat cross-legged on the bed.

Her expression was very cold.

Then, she was forced to withdraw from the pre-sleep natural communion.

The strange cries and clattering sounds that had not ceased for a long time not far from the forest kept echoing in her ears.

Compared to the previous few days.

Today's impact was especially great.

Lady Kali looked at the short shirt discarded on the ground.

Suddenly, she felt her heartbeat accelerate.

Her lower abdomen felt itchy.

It felt as if countless ants were crawling in her blood.

An image appeared in her mind: inside the Ranger's Cabin, on the bed, the human's face, and the forgetful succubus.

Suddenly, the succubus's face turned into her own.

Lady Kali's breathing grew heavier; she couldn't help but pick up the short shirt.

She held it to her chest, gently sniffing the scent within.

"Stinky."

As if to match the cries in the forest.

She also exhaled rapid, innocent, and suppressed breaths from her mouth.

After taking a day off, Lady Kali once again participated in Little Little Bangde's combat training.

The two of them tacitly agreed to remain silent about the events in the mine cave yesterday.

The training in the following days proceeded as usual.

Until the people from Shi Ying Town arrived, it stopped.

"Good afternoon, Ranger Mr. Rod."

This was a lady with elegant manners and impeccable etiquette.

She was about one meter sixty in height, wearing a tall magic hat, and a dark formal gown on her body, with a slit so high it was incredible.

The upper part of the gown, which had no straps, was held up entirely by the huge Shanfeng that exposed nearly half of them.

On her neck and arms were golden metal rings, engraved with complex spell runes.

Rod could perceive that she was a mage.

But the magic within her body differed greatly from that of ordinary mages.

If mages like Falister were like a ball of rubber with a fixed shape, then this lady before him was an unstable cloud.

"Wow, a witch."

Tally on the side exclaimed.

"A witch?"

"A new race transformed from humans. When they awaken, they lose all their internal organs and become a state composed entirely of magical power."

The witch smiled at Tally.

"That's right, but we are still human."

Tally returned a fake smile, then secretly whispered into Rod's ear: "Whether witches can be called an entirely new race is still debated, but as far as they themselves are concerned, they still believe they are human."

Rod nodded and invited the witch inside.

After some brief small talk.

Rod learned the witch's name was Dimia, a sixth-tier Chu Duan Fa mage, reinforcements Shi Ying Town had invited from Gale City.

Dimia sat down on the sofa.

Her high-slit formal gown immediately revealed snow-white thighs.

She had a head of very thick, light-golden hair, the ends dyed a playful pink, tied into a huge braid that hung down to her perky buttocks.

Unlike her unusually mature, sexy body, Dimia's face was actually the cute type with baby fat.

"First, I must thank you on behalf of Daphne. I studied together with that child at the Bahadur Academy of Magic. Until the night I awakened at eleven years old, if it hadn't been for you, I can't imagine how heartbroken I would have been."

Rod recalled that Daphne was probably fifteen or sixteen.

She still looked like a young girl, yet Dimia, the same age, had already grown so mature.

It really was the dry dying of drought, the drowned drowning of flood.

Dimia handed over a magic book.

"A small gift, please do accept it."

Rod glanced at it.

"Research and Application of Spiritual Arts — Greater Body Enhancement"

He recalled this was the upgraded version of 【Lesser Body Enhancement】.

It was just right, as his Spiritual Arts had already started to fall behind a bit.

Rod didn't stand on ceremony and accepted it graciously.

Dimia also stated her true purpose in coming here.

It turned out the Ruins Brotherhood had organized multiple assaults. After Shi Ying Town repelled them in recent attacks, the enemy's strength had not only failed to weaken but showed signs of growing.

Shi Ying Town's garrison, worn out by it, had overnight invited Dimia from Gale City, deciding to launch a bandit-suppression operation.

"So you want me to assist and round up all the Brotherhood members in one net?"

"Yes." Dimia nodded.

"The frontal assault will be handled by Shi Ying Town's soldiers and myself. Mr. Rod, you only need to coordinate with another unit, responsible for intercepting them along the Brotherhood's escape route."

In Gale City's intelligence, Wind Wall Forest's Warden Rod was a fifth-tier Chu Duan Fa warrior with a record of slaying a halfling of the same tier, so handling this part was more than enough.

In truth, Dimia had no intention of entrusting any truly important work to this warden.

In her calculations, that escape route was the backup among backups for the Brotherhood, so the probability of them passing through it was very small.

Dimia had only brought him in for Daphne's sake, to pad his record of merits, nothing more.

Perhaps on the frontal battlefield, she could wipe out the enemy forces in one fell swoop.
