Diary of Guarding Monster Girls-Chapter 538 - 322 Hungry Dragon’s Foraging Adventure (5.2K, First Update)_3
It was pure violence born from absolute strength.
It deeply shocked Miss Devil.
To be fair, even though Kreti idles around provoking others all day, Flora is absolutely not weak.
And in her chaotic state, controlling the volcanic giant, she is even more extremely dangerous!
Not to mention anything else, just the massive size alone is enough to make many creatures dread and avoid it.
However, that giant dragon with scarlet wings could actually drag the magma giant out of the lava pool!
Then, it flew high into the sky with it and smashed it down hard!
What a terrifying power that is...
Although Kreti likes to stir up trouble, it’s always within her controlled range.
The cautious Demon would never easily provoke those beyond her control, those she absolutely cannot afford to offend.
But just as Kreti was about to stay silent and completely vanish from notice, she suddenly widened her eyes.
"Huh!!?"
Wait, something seems off!
Kreti carefully observed the seemingly harmless red-haired woman and suddenly sucked in her upper lip.
No, this giant dragon, how has she gotten stronger than the last time?
Legendary?
No, this is definitely stronger than Legendary Peak.
Is it Epic?
How did she advance!!?
And it feels like her draconic aura is more terrifying, her bloodline more pure... bloodline!!?
Wait!
Could it be that what Herbert told me before wasn’t boasting?
At that moment, Kreti suddenly remembered something Herbert mentioned casually in a previous chat about some of his "special abilities."
Though the exact methods weren’t clear, as that guy deliberately left it vague when discussing details.
But Herbert claimed to have a magical way "to purify the bloodline of Demons" ...
Kreti didn’t believe it back then, even scoffing at his bragging, never believing a word of it.
Both are centennial Demons, who are you fooling?
You want to trick me? Keep practicing!
That method of purifying bloodlines, the Mages have researched for years without much success.
And a Paladin like you understands all that?
Who are you bluffing? Hmph!
... That was what Kreti thought at the time.
But when a living example appeared right in front of her, Miss Devil began to doubt.
Could it be, I was wrong then?
That it was actually true!!?
Not only can it purify, but it can purify a Legendary Peak level Demon’s bloodline and further enhance its power.
"If this is true... then I must find an opportunity to let him purify mine as well!"
After entering this prison, Miss Devil has been very hungry for power.
She wishes to gain strength capable of turning the tables when facing the oppression of Demons!!!
She wants revenge!
If she can boost her strength, surpassing Flora, she would definitely accept it without hesitation.
"However, this ability must be complicated, and the cost must be significant! Herbert won’t agree easily."
"Tsk, I’m afraid I’ll end up being heavily tricked by him afterward, and who knows what price I’ll have to pay... tsk!" Kreti mused silently, holding a suspicious attitude towards Herbert’s character.
Although that guy outwardly acts as a Paladin and shows no anomalies in his aura, he always gave her the feeling of encountering a kindred spirit.
Like a fellow Legendary Demon, sometimes even like an Epic level Great Demon!
And when facing such a kindred spirit, don’t think of getting anything for free—it’s definitely not happening.
The cost is something I’ll definitely have to bear a part of.
There’s no such thing as a free meal; every gift has its price.
"But, there must be a way to make the price smaller, for example... letting him propose a deal."
Kreti squinted her eyes, pondering over how she could maneuver Herbert into making the proposal.
"Hmm, I’ve decided, afterward I’ll find a chance to deliberately guide the conversation there, and then let him come and ask me!"
Miss Devil had planned well, and her approach to the problem wasn’t wrong either.
Normally, it’s the optimal solution, to occupy the proactive position as the invited party.
But, Kreti was still wrong.
Her mistake was not asking about the precise method of the "purification ritual" in advance...
Once she actually proposes the "purification ritual" request, the cost would not be something she could control.
And just when both the Demon and Devil had fallen into silent contemplation, someone couldn’t hold it in any longer.
Grumble—
Miss Hungry Dragon, whose stomach rumbled once more, couldn’t wait any longer and called out to the two: "Hey? Hey—"
"You two, respond to me!"
"Why aren’t you saying anything?"
Flora and Kreti’s stunned reaction was taken by Valentina as a silent refusal, prompting her to pout unhappily.
"Really not even a little bit?"
"Alright, if it really can’t be eaten, then I’ll just leave..."

I’ll just eat a little, and you won’t even allow that.
So stingy!
No one is decent on this level!
Compared to Herbert and Svanni, you’re so far behind!
"Wait a minute!"
Before Miss Hungry Dragon could leave in hunger, Kreti hurriedly called out to her: "Lady, if you want to drink, there’s absolutely no problem!"
"Really!"
Valentina whipped around excitedly and burrowed in, ready to feast: "Then I won’t hold back!"
Yet, just before she could dig in, a voice interrupted her.
"Wait!"
?
"Now what?"
Valentina was stopped again and puckered her lips in dissatisfaction, glaring at Flora, who had halted her.
What do you mean by this, Demon?
Is it that you disagree?
"This..."
Flora hesitated, her face twitched, and her lips pressed together.
How should I explain it?
Should I really say this is my bathing place? That this is all my bathwater?
"The magma here isn’t good enough, let me pick out a better-quality spot for you."
Flora turned her head to glance at the gleeful Demon and silently strengthened the effect of the mark of indulgence.
Kreti’s expression immediately changed, her whole body squirming as she tightly sealed her lips, yet still managed to emit some sibilant inhalations.
"Hiss— Ah!"
After punishing the trouble-making Demon, Flora took a deep breath and forced a smile at the expectant Valentina:
"Follow me, and I’ll take you there to eat."
