Diary of the Improper Monster Girl Transformation.

Chapter 16 The whole life!
"Strange, why has this place become like this?"

"I remember it wasn't this dark the last time I came here with the Archbishop."

Herbert held the ancient lantern and looked at the darkness less than a meter ahead, and raised his eyebrows in confusion.

At this moment, after trying to capture Freme, he passed through the Deep Water Prison in the second area and came to the third area of ​​the alien prison.

Prison without light.

In this completely dark space, two dangerous monsters are imprisoned - a dark elf wizard and a vampire prince.

By the way, Herbert didn’t see these two monster girls last time.

For some unknown reason, the archbishop took him straight through here and entered the lava hell in the fourth area without saying hello to the prisoners here.

He didn't dare ask.

This was the first time Herbert explored this place seriously, but he found that the situation might not be as simple as he thought.

He raised the lantern above his head, and the faint light could only dispel the darkness within a one-meter radius. Beyond this range, the thick darkness blocked out everything.

No sight, no hearing, no smell - no perception of anything.

"Who turned off the lights? Hurry up and ask a Paladin to turn them on... Oh, no, I'm the Paladin."

Where is the damn holy light?

Herbert tried all kinds of methods, and finally found that only the light emitted by the holy marks could dispel the darkness, but it only expanded a circle.

The visible distance reaches an astonishing two meters.

It's totally useless!

If it was just dark here, Herbert wouldn't feel so confused.

But the problem he faced now was that he was lost.

Not only did Herbert fail to find any trace of the two monster girls, he couldn't even find the way to the fourth area!
He had been walking quietly with the lamp in hand for more than ten minutes, but he still hadn't reached the end of the road.

That’s fine. At worst, I can just keep persevering. There will always be a day when I will reach the end.

But the problem is that he might never reach the end.

Because as long as he looks back, he can see the way he came.

He...has been standing still!
Tsk, after meeting the Pen Fairy, you encounter a ghost wall again, right?

When he was sent back to the same place for the third time, Herbert finally gave up walking and thought seriously about the situation.

"The rules here...seem to have been changed?"

A place without light, where the eyes cannot see.

You can only retreat, not advance.

Each prison in the Misty Monastery is actually a special half-plane that has been cut out. Although it seems to meet the living needs of the prisoners, there are actually unique restrictive rules behind it.

For example, the Deep Water Prison places extremely strict restrictions on Freme. Under normal circumstances, almost all water elements in the cage are extracted. Even the legendary Siren can only maintain a water ball that can only accommodate itself.

But now it seems that the restrictions here have been changed to target him.

Is this right?
On the contrary, it belongs to Tiangang.

Herbert narrowed his eyes, several thoughts flashing through his mind.

If I'm not mistaken, something might have happened here.

But at least the situation is not the worst.

Because if the other party could really control the rules, he would have reopened it by now.

The other party did not show up on his own initiative, nor did he have any communication with me, as if nothing had happened.

"You don't want to alert the enemy and want me to back down?"

As long as you don't show up, you will feel that it is your own problem?

That’s... reasonable.

If Herbert was really just a nobleman who had just become a paladin, he would not force his way in after encountering such a situation. He would definitely think that he was not strong enough and retreat.

Herbert pondered for a moment, nodded, and turned away without hesitation.

When you are undecided, just moisten it first!

There's no rush anyway, so let's just conquer the dragon and the mermaid first.

The area ahead will be explored in the future!

But just as Herbert was about to pass through the barrier and return to Waterdeep, his steps gradually slowed down and finally stopped completely. "...Tsk."

He was a little unhappy.

Although the main target now is a weak and helpless but capable person, although he really can't beat the opponent now.

But!
"I'm the warden, and you're the prisoner."

Herbert turned around, looked at the impenetrable darkness, and curled his lips in dissatisfaction.

"How can I let you ride on my head?"

No.

Although his protest might not be useful, he felt that his thoughts were not rational if he really just left like that.

The little hooligans all knew to make a few harsh threats before leaving.

After all, I am a prison boss, so I have to do some work before leaving.

But what kind of work should be done?
"You can't bite a lighter, right? There's nothing like this either... huh?"

Herbert turned his head and continued to look at the darkness in front of him, and suddenly he felt something.

He placed the lantern on the ground and slowly walked to the edge where darkness and light met, squinting at the overly smooth border.

Herbert thought for a moment, then tentatively stretched out a finger and gently touched the edge of light.

Nothing happened.

The fingers had no feeling and did not turn into a piece of bone after being pulled back.

"..."

After a moment's silence, he turned around and extinguished the lantern, and after hesitating for a moment, he even closed the stigmata.

For a moment, he felt himself passively merged into the darkness.

Drowned in nothingness.

Swallowed by loneliness.

But the strange thing is that apart from these feelings, Herbert did not feel any discomfort.

This place is actually no different from the outside world.

In the darkness, Herbert's eyes were bright, and faintly covered with a layer of light golden light.

Although he still couldn't see anything, he could vaguely "sense" the way forward.

Not only that, he also had a vague feeling that someone was watching him.

In the darkness, someone was watching his every move.

hum-

The holy marks glowed instantly, and the feeling of being watched disappeared without a trace, as if the scene just now was just an illusion.

But Herbert was not so naive.

So, when you stare into the abyss, the abyss is also staring into you, right?

"I understand."

The corners of his mouth curled up, and he smiled brightly at the darkness, waved his hand, and said loudly:
“I will come back again.”

Having said that, without waiting for the other party to respond, he picked up the lantern and strode away.

By the time he left, the darkness returned to calm again.

After a long time, a faint low laugh came from the darkness.

"You left so decisively."

"Haha... interesting guy."

Understand what?
To be honest, Herbert didn't understand anything.

As for the changes in the third area, he couldn't understand the details at all now, but that didn't matter.

He didn't need to figure out the reason, it was enough to be sure that there was indeed a problem.

So, what to do next is already very clear...

"Report, must report!"
