Diary of Guarding Monster Girls-Chapter 646 - 364 That’s Herbert!!? (8.2K, extra Chapters 204, 205!)_3

Sofia's expression turned serious as she nodded slowly.

This was not an unexpected outcome.

After Joanna unleashed that Ice Crystal Fireworks, it was difficult for the Chimera not to notice.

If the Chimera could be directly driven away, that would be best.

But what unnerved Sofia was the response it exhibited.

Its actions appeared different from before, seemingly more rational.

"The ram's head isn't in charge? Is it the wolf's head? Or... that vulture's head?"

The three heads of the Chimera had distinct personalities and attributes.

The ram's head was fire-attributed, impetuous in nature, and acted arrogantly, often leading previous conflicts.

The wolf's head was ice-attributed, cold in personality, and its actions were quite covert.

The third vulture head exuded an aura of death, always silent without any special reactions but never insignificant.

"..."

The scene fell into a stalemate.

Within Elda's group, they only knew the Chimera had not shown itself again, yet it definitely hadn't departed.

An inexplicable pressure lingered in everyone's heart.

In the crowd, two girls stood side by side.

At this moment, Yunier's gaze subtly shifted from innocent and naive to mature and profound.

The Cold Winter Goddess had descended.

Her eyebrows furrowed slightly as she observed, her eyes lit up, scanning briefly, then glanced toward a distant corner.

Just as she was about to give these youngsters a small hint, Teresa's tongue moved beside her.

Teresa's expression suddenly changed, pointing to the same direction the Cold Winter Goddess had looked, she urgently said, "Over there... uh!"

In her haste, she bit her tongue.

The tearful girl pointed there, shouting with a thick tongue, "There! Over there—"

Though Teresa's words were slightly skewed, the highly focused Sofia still noticed and understood what she meant.

Even though there appeared to be nothing there from her perspective, she unhesitatingly adjusted her longbow, releasing the tightly held string.

Whoosh—

The sharp arrow tore through the sky, striking towards the pitch-black mist from Elda's high vantage point.

The arrow transformed by magic split in mid-air, scattering into dozens, then into hundreds, shooting at that empty space like torrential rain.

These arrows traversed the thousand-meter distance, finally reacting just as they were about to hit the ground.

The arrows instantly turned pitch black, then rapidly ignited in black flames, exploding swiftly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Behind the massive dust cloud, a hideous behemoth emerged from the shadows of the mist.

It possessed a lizard-like massive body, with three eerie, terrifying heads.

Upon exposure, it appeared exceptionally enraged, the ram's head spewed a ball of fire into the sky, emitting a piercing cry.

"Roar!!!"

The vulture's head glared malevolently at the centaur Heroic Spirit, then slowly lowered its gaze to the girl pointing at it.

The Chimera discovered who had pointed it out.

It had originally intended to leave, but now that it was discovered, it had to do something.

Kill her!

Next time, it won't be discovered!

Teresa: !!?

In the instant she was targeted by the vulture's head, an intense fear gripped her, as if she'd plunged into a frigid abyss!

The malevolence of death approached her!

At that moment of being targeted, Teresa couldn't help but tremble, letting out a near-wail of whimper.

Compelled to flee, she wanted to hide from this malicious intent.

However, just as she was about to step to turn, she abruptly stomped her foot!

Thump!

"No!"

Teresa clenched her fist, forcibly staying in her spot, glaring defiantly.

She couldn't run away.

She had fled countless times already but couldn't keep fleeing.

To be worthy of standing by his side, she couldn't keep running away.

She would face it.

Overcome the fear within her heart!

Though she couldn't keep her body from trembling, she had at least taken the most crucial first step.

Yunier gently placed a palm on Teresa's back, softly saying, "It's okay, don't be afraid, everything will be alright."

Teresa felt the warmth emanating from behind her, took a deep breath, and nodded slowly, "...Yes, Lord Herbert will surely come to save us."

Cold Winter Goddess: ?

Eh, wasn't I the one comforting you?

Why are you mentioning his name again?

You must secretly have a crush on him!

...

"Everyone, prepare!"

The priests, under Joanna's command, raised their weapons, forming a circle, in the center of which a massive ice spike slowly took shape.

Everyone stood ready for the giant beast, hoping it would retreat on its own.

But evidently... that was impossible.

"Roar—"

Sensing the tense atmosphere of the town, the three-headed Chimera grew even more excited.

Arrogantly, it took a step forward.

Thump!

Closer now.

And as it sensed the atmosphere in the town becoming more oppressive, it roared, all three heads simultaneously emitting excited screams.

"Roar!!!"

It roared, its probing steps growing increasingly brazen.

Thump!

One step, two steps, three steps... it began to run!

The giant beast charged forward, rushing towards the light within the darkness.

"Get lost! Leave now!"

Sofia shot more arrows while issuing a stern warning.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Arrows fell like rain, but the Chimera paid them no mind, letting them land, leaving gashes that rapidly healed.
