Diary of Guarding Monster Girls-Chapter 539 - 323 I am! (5.2K, added updates 112, 113)

"Is this the place?"

Herbert followed Svanni into the deepest level of the City Lord’s Mansion ruins, blinking at the intact chamber in front of him.

"The place you want to bring me to... is this the interrogation room?"

"Yes, this is it."

Svanni walked in, nodded slightly, and said softly:

"This is the room that only the current Great Mother of the Moore Clan can enter, also where they train their most loyal slaves."

"As for your interpretation, well, in the eyes of other races it might be seen as an interrogation room...though I don’t see much resemblance."

Upon hearing this, Herbert smirked and couldn’t help but quip: "I think your Dark Elves have a questionable sense of aesthetics."

Is this really different?

Herbert glanced around; there was simply nothing proper worth describing!

You tell me, is this right?

Svanni heard Herbert’s quip, smiled faintly, and shook her head: "Haha, perhaps."

She wasn’t so clueless as to not notice the issue; she was just joking with Herbert.

Yes, Svanni now could joke normally.

After personally ending Stella’s life and watching her sister pass away, it seemed she regained the part of her personality that was missing.

Though still cool, she was no longer so outwardly and inwardly consistent.

Behind her cold exterior, her icy heart also gradually began to warm.

Herbert too realized, seeing her faint smile at the corner of her mouth, he smiled as well: "Smile more from now on, you look good like this."

Though the iceberg-like demeanor is fine, the scenery after the snow melts is even more alluring.

"Yes, I understand."

Svanni responded with a smile, turning to look around, she said to Herbert: "This is indeed what you’re looking for, the darkest, dirtiest corner of this city."

Hearing this, Herbert nodded silently.

Just looking at the props here, and the ground soaked with blood and various liquids, one could imagine the brutal scenes that had once transpired here...

Ssss, exhilarating!

Feeling deeply, Herbert nodded slowly and said: "It feels like I’m gonna get sick just by looking."

He was grateful for the Purity Oath for the first time, glad it could automatically purify the foul atmosphere of such a place.

No illness, truly wonderful!

Closing his eyes, he sensed the atmosphere here, Herbert silently nodded: "Indeed, you’ve done well, this is the place I’ve been looking for."

Herbert seeking such a place wasn’t due to some strange fetish—he certainly disliked such filthy locations.

He was here to do what a Paladin ought to do.

Especially what someone pledged with the Purity Oath should have done long ago.

With the help of Nenasha, Herbert had fleeced quite a bit from various Monster Girls, greatly boosting his power.

However, his primary duty, the Power of the Paladin had not improved notably since last advancing, stuck at High Tier, still a distance from Legendary.

Solely relying on himself to slowly accumulate and cultivate Holy Power, finally reaching Legendary’s barrier, then gradually breaking through—this was simply too slow.

Herbert wanted to cut this process even shorter!

And for a Paladin, enhancing one’s power requires more than upholding the oath, most importantly through actions that tangibly fulfill one’s oath.

Maintaining one’s purity...this Herbert probably cannot achieve.

But he has another thing he can do.

Purification.

Making the contaminated beings and objects pure again.

Herbert wants to—purify! The! Filth!

As convention dictates, the stronger the filth purified, the stronger the feedback he receives.

Before him, lies the accumulated filth of this wicked city over a millennium, all here.

In fact, Herbert and Svanni could joke and laugh here entirely due to their strength.

If it were someone else, just approaching here would make their soul feel intensely twisted, ultimately wholly converted into the Great Mother’s slave.

Over long years, countless powerful individuals were twisted by the filthy atmosphere here, turned into loyal puppets only knowing adoration for the Great Mother.

To thoroughly purify here, Herbert chose to use his core skill as a Paladin bound by the Purity Oath.

First, he prayed silently for a while, then suddenly raised his right fist, clenched it tightly, and activated all the Holy Power within him!

"Eradicate toxins!"

"Disperse disease!"

"Illuminate purity!"

...

Herbert used twelve different purification holy words in one go, nearly exhausting his Holy Power.

The effects were quite significant.

A large amount of filth, encountering the Holy Light radiating from Herbert, instantly turned into thick smoke, then fully dissipated under the light’s exposure.

Ssss—

Under Svanni’s amazed gaze, the original appearance of the place truly unveiled.

The once-black and dirty floor turned out to be white marble!

The years of grime peeled away, revealing the true colors.

Removing those varied torture devices, this place looked like a luxurious private chamber, adorning quite lavishly!

The effects were notable, but Herbert’s expression didn’t relax.

Clearly, relying on these alone cannot entirely purify, with a large portion of stubborn residues still lingering.

Especially that bed large enough for seven or eight people, being the epicenter of filth.

Facing this terrifying filth accumulated over years, regular purification methods weren’t enough...he needed to strike hard!
