Diary of Guarding Monster Girls

Chapter 831 - 426: Master! Please Just Accept Me!!!

As she felt the changes within her body, Flora’s heart was filled with wonder.

How could she be gifted with so much power!!?

Flora was originally a powerful Demon at the Legendary Peak, having been stalled in front of an Epic breakthrough for a long time.

But after being transformed into the "Holy Light Enchanting Demon" with a Holy Light attribute, part of her strength had actually diminished.

Flora’s strength fell to the late Legendary stage, almost to the mid-Legendary level.

Yet it was nothing, just a very worthwhile cost.

As long as there was enough time, spending about a hundred years, Flora believed she could easily return to her former peak.

But now... within just a few breaths, Flora’s internal power had already come close to her past level.

With just one sentence from Herbert, she was spared a hundred years of arduous cultivation!

Moreover, the momentum of this power hasn’t stopped!!!

Under Flora’s excited gaze, her power continued to rise, significantly surpassing the past before abruptly halting right before the Epic threshold.

"...Gulp." Flora couldn’t help but swallow, utterly shocked in her heart.

If in the past she merely stood at the doorstep of Epic, now she had extended more than half her body past it, leaving just half a foot outside.

Just a little bit more!

Furthermore, Flora had a feeling that the reason this power eventually dissipated wasn’t because she couldn’t reach Epic.

It was because she was still lacking that final bit that she couldn’t advance to Epic.

Although Flora didn’t know yet what she was actually missing, she believed she would find out soon.

After her internal aura gradually calmed down, Flora (Holy Light enhanced version) finally managed to adjust her mindset.

She didn’t express her gratitude verbally but instead lowered her head deeper before her master, gently kissing his toes to convey her gratitude and respect.

However, what Flora the Holy Light Enchanting Demon didn’t know was that the expression on Herbert, the great being who "bestowed" her with all these miracles, was rather subtle.

"..."

Herbert blinked, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

No, brother.

What is this situation?

Was it I who granted this blessing?

Eh...

Me, was it me?

If I could do it, why not bless myself and let me charge to Epic?

At this moment, Herbert, who believed he did nothing, very much wanted to shout loudly: It’s not me! I didn’t do it! Don’t say such things!

But reason told him—no, you don’t want to.

Herbert couldn’t do that.

Flora’s gratitude had reached near fanaticism; he had no chance to explain himself.

Moreover, by this point, there was no way to explain.

This miracle... it’s something he did.

Even if it wasn’t him, it had to be him!

In any case, I, uh, am truly great!

Besides, Herbert felt, this matter wasn’t completely unrelated to himself.

Although the connection might not be strong, there was still a connection!

All these changes happened after Herbert made Flora an Enchanting Demon Paladin.

Did his word become Law?

Or was Flora always a good candidate for being a Paladin, but her race held her back?

But Herbert quickly dismissed this idea.

No, things are probably not that simple.

Because just now, when Flora’s aura surged, Herbert keenly sensed something peculiar—an unfamiliar Law aura spontaneously appeared on her body.

Vast but extremely small, almost unnoticeable.

It seemed that her advancement touched some unknown world order, bestowing blessings upon her, allowing the world’s first "Enchanting Demon Paladin" to enjoy the Law’s reward.

Whenever an Enchanting Demon Paladin is born, the world drops a special Law to offer some aid?

Or... does only the first one get to enjoy this?

Herbert thought about this, suppressing the suspicion and turning to consider other possibilities.

If not the world’s unconsciousness, could it be a gift from the source of order?

As the saying goes, corruption triples strength, cleansing weakens by thirty percent.

In many stories, the villain who can kick the protagonist around becomes weaker after joining the protagonist’s side.

But actually, in this world, this saying isn’t just a joke.

Just like when Angels become Fallen Angels, they gain a boost from negative powers; indeed, the Fallen receive help on the Law level!

They trade away precious things for powerful strength.

In contrast, the good side is not so fortunate; they generally don’t receive direct power blessings.

Examples of getting stronger after "Fallen to Good" exist, but none have shown Demons becoming more powerful after reforming...

Finally, Herbert considered a third possibility.

Could it be the handiwork of a Divine Spirit?

Almost instinctively, Herbert habitually thought of a Harmonious God who claimed to be evil.

Nenasha! Is this your doing!

Herbert instinctively felt Nenasha was causing trouble; on himself, only He had connections with Divine Spirits.

But now that he was in the Sun Sanctuary, under the Sun Goddess’s watchful eyes, he had no way to contact Nenasha.

"Forget it, don’t dwell on it, I’ll ask Him about it later."

Herbert had to suppress this thought, waiting to bring it up with Him later.
