Diary of Guarding Monster Girls-Chapter 649 - 365 Epic Giant Dragon!!! (8.2K, additional Chapters 206, 207)
"Herbert!!?"
Joanna's expression changed slightly, her mouth twitching as she quietly asked Sophia beside her, "Was he just... doing that on purpose? It shouldn't have been an accident, right?"
Was it on purpose? Or accidental?
"It should... be on purpose?"
Sophia hesitated for a moment, also somewhat uncertain about what Herbert had just done.
Just now, the blood-colored figure that was effortlessly suppressing the three-headed Chimera suddenly had an accident and plummeted straight into the ground.
Herbert considered himself gracefully descending from the sky, landing without a splash, and even the strictest diving judge would give a perfect score.
He returned to the Disciplinary Hall by relying on the mirror formed on the ice surface, but in the eyes of outsiders, it was a different scene.
In Sophia and the others' eyes, Herbert abruptly fell from the sky, "head first" into the ground.
Swoosh—thud!
Had they heard any loud noise, they might really believe Herbert was stuck head-first in the ground, unable to get out.
"Didn't you see? It's just a method to hide from the Chimera's sight." Miser was somewhat speechless at the pair's shock.
What's the big deal? Is this so uncommon?
Miser still held his view—Herbert was either seriously fighting or playing. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
He was basically toying with the opponent, not using any real skills.
Look at what he just did?
Not calling the Sun Holy Flame, nor using anything else, refusing even to wield a proper weapon, and only maintaining his power at just entering the Legendary level, not willing to add any more.
What does this mean?
It means Herbert believes that even with such power, he can easily block or even eliminate the giant beast.
And fighting with such power shows complete disdain for the Chimera, treating it as a helpless prey to toy with.
This is sheer arrogance!
While outwardly calm, Miser was also inwardly terrified.
Phew!
Luckily, he honestly chose to follow him, making the right decision.
Otherwise, the one being toyed with and beaten by Herbert might have been him.
Made the right choice!
"Just wait and see."
Miser snorted confidently:
"When Herbert appears, he will surely display even more terrifying power; he will definitely obliterate the Chimera!"
Sophia and Joanna looked at each other, quickly pondered, and nodded silently.
"Hmm."
The two didn't ask further, since Miser's previous predictions were correct, their respect for her grew.
Although they still harbored some doubt about "that blood-colored figure being Herbert," they chose to believe.
Add to that, if it truly was Herbert, had he recently broken through, or was the power he displayed earlier always hidden?
This made the two quietly recall details from past interactions.
Though the three-headed Chimera still lived, Sophia and the others no longer worried about the current crisis.
With Herbert there, everything would naturally be resolved.
Apart from them, the other residents of Elda were also immersed in profound shock.
They heard Miser's words, knowing that figure was the Lord they served.
The grey Dwarves also witnessed that figure, now thoroughly in a frenzy!
Prostrating themselves on the ground, relentlessly bowing to the direction Herbert disappeared, showing utmost reverence.
The priestesses clenched their weapons, letting out a long breath, feeling a bit like survivors after a disaster.
Though the presence of Legends meant they likely weren't in too much danger, injuries were inevitable.
If luck were worse, they might even meet with unexpected accidents—that would be truly terrifying.
Even if saved, no one likes walking so close to the edge of death.
"Oh..."
The Cold Winter Goddess, embodied in Yunier, nodded at this moment, understanding somewhat why Teresa was so enamored with Herbert.
Indeed, he was charming.
Such demeanor and grace indeed hold a deadly allure for immature girls.
No, even those with mature minds might also be captivated by this overwhelming charisma.
This piqued the Goddess's further interest in Herbert.
The original Herbert seemed like a fairly intriguing young man, daring to coax the Goddess's kitten, making one want to hug him and ruffle his hair—a maternal instinct.
But now, upon witnessing Herbert's exhibited strength, the Ice Goddess's attitude shifted slightly.
That strength, that arrogance, silently proved—he's not merely a child to be recklessly teased, definitely not.
Herbert refuses to settle beneath others.
He is gradually growing from a pawn to be manipulated by gods, advancing toward becoming the player.
Though this is destined to be far off, with a long path ahead, the Cold Winter Goddess surprisingly felt a certain certainty—this will happen.
