Diary of Guarding Monster Girls-Chapter 648 - 364 That is Herbert!!? (8.2K, additional Chapters 204, 205!)_5

Just as Miser said this, Herbert reacted on the other side.

Just as a thick layer of frost formed on him and he was about to fall from the sky—a strong light suddenly burst out from him!

The mirror arrays in the Mirror Space acted like a magnifying glass, amplifying the Holy Power emitted by Herbert several times, all of it accumulating in his battle armor.

The oppressive light and heat exploded instantly, directly illuminating the darkness of this area!

"Roar!!?"

The suddenly exploding bright light, like the most terrifying flashbang, made the nearby three-headed beast emit a shrill howl, painfully closing its four eyes.

And in the next moment of closing its eyes, it again felt excruciating pain.

Herbert, who was prepared, charged down from a height, trying to reproduce his previous success by taking off the opponent's vulture head once more.

A longsword made of Holy Light condensed in his hand, stabbing fiercely into the center of the opponent's forehead.

But this time, Herbert unfortunately failed.

The Holy Light Longsword indeed pierced into the forehead as he expected, but it did not penetrate completely, breaking in half after going halfway in.

Crack!

However, Herbert did not give up directly but retreated to dodge and then charged again.

One more time!

Swoosh—shatter!

"Roar!!?"

After the second attempt, leaving a symmetrical mark on the wolf's head, Herbert quickly darted away, evading its frenzied counterattack.

Floating in mid-air with lowered eyes, Herbert looked coldly at the giant beast attacking wildly on the ground, nodding silently, having already formed a conclusion in his mind.

"Hmm...still lacking a bit."

Can't win.

A Paladin like him, who just entered the Legendary level, still has no way to take down the opponent.

Without the element of surprise from the first encounter, and without the compounded power, his newly gained Legendary strength was not enough to slay the beast that had been at the Legendary Peak for years.

He indeed inflicted effective damage on the Chimaera but only managed to leave a bloody hole by embedding the Holy Light Longsword into the vulture head's forehead.

Broke its defense, but not lethal.

He had real strength in speed and defense that far surpassed his level, but lacked an effective means of attack.

Though it's not entirely impossible, as long as Herbert returns to the Mirror Space to recharge, he can still unleash that thunderous attack.

But that requires too much preparation time and carries certain risks.

Delays could result in changes!

The giant beast guarding the Heroic Spirit Pool fragment has always been his target.

Opportunities like this when the three-headed Chimaera presents itself are rare, especially now that its strength has already diminished significantly without the Heroic Spirit Pool's enhancement.

If he lets it go this time, waits for it to hide in its lair and never come out, there might never be such a perfect chance again.

This opportunity must be seized!

As he pondered, Herbert's gaze swept over the people of Elda Territory.

"As for them...hmm, barely sufficient, but probably still lacking a bit."

Sofia and her group's strength is not weak, but likely not enough to completely overwhelm, with a certain risk of casualties.

Since they won't suffice either...

There's no choice but to take emergency measures!

A heavy blow must be struck!

Since you, three-headed creature, don't know how to obediently fall down, don't blame this old man for being ruthless.

"Just you wait!"

Herbert looked at the three-headed Chimaera barking frantically underground, curled his lips into a sneer.

"I'll go recruit people!"

Having said that, he fixed his gaze on the ice that was like a mirror—sure enough, he saw Miss Mirror Demon within it.

After receiving confirmation from Lukalia, Herbert took a deep breath and dived straight down, crashing into the ice.

"Lord Herbert!!?"

"My master!?"

Luckily, Herbert didn't crash headfirst, but smoothly returned to Elda from the "ice mirror surface"!

"Haha! Success!"

Herbert laughed heartily. Without time to converse with Miss Mirror Demon, he didn't pause for a moment, promptly pushing open the Teleportation Gate and dashing into the Endless Maze.

While calling, he summoned the gate leading to Deep Water Prison.

This time, Herbert planned to gather an all-star lineup, summoning every Monster Girl he could find to teach the three-headed Chimaera a good lesson.

"Fremay, help out! Come on—huh!?" Herbert was just about to push the gate again when he suddenly felt a weight on his back.

"Hey! Where exactly do you plan to go?" An unhappy voice came from behind, causing Herbert's expression to freeze.

Hmm?

A person behind bit Herbert's earlobe viciously, grunting angrily: "Why are you looking for her and not me? Is Fremay more charming than I am!? Speak!"

!!!

"Valentina! You're awake!"

Herbert turned around and hugged the grumpy Miss Hungry Dragon behind him, gleefully saying, "You'll do, I'll choose you!"

Valentina was about to be happy, but then felt there was something odd about what he said.

...Hmm?

"No, no, that's not it! It's just perfect timing that you're here!"

Ignoring explanations, Herbert kissed Valentina hard and quickly said, "Quick! Come with me!"

"Someone is bullying me!"

Valentina was instantly delighted after being kissed, but she was not satisfied and wanted more.

However, before she could speak, she suddenly opened her eyes wide after hearing those words.

A dangerously bright light flashed in her crimson slit pupils.

"Hmm!!?"
