Diary of the Improper Monster Girl Transformation.

Chapter 225 Danger Level and Punishment (5K plus 59 60)
A three-headed beast, an army of heroes, and a robot constructed from corrupted flesh and blood.

In Herbert's opinion, these three are all powerful and extremely difficult opponents.

There was no need to describe the dangers of the constructed robot corrupted by flesh and blood, as Herbert had just experienced them firsthand.

Weird, weird, and fucking weird.

Danger level, four stars.

The most tricky thing about the three-headed beast is that its heads can produce damage of different attributes, and each head has unique attack capabilities.

Fire, ice, death...all are abilities with incredible destructive power.

In particular, its heads can coordinate with each other to form a close coordination between attack and defense.

In terms of tacit understanding, three people with one mind will probably never be as good as one person with three minds.

In order to truly contain it, at least three legendary warriors are needed.

In addition, it has a considerable size advantage.

Given the size of that giant beast, it cannot let its guard down with any movement. Even a seemingly random swing of its tail can easily cause huge damage to the enemy.

The degree of danger...can be temporarily rated as three stars.

The tricky part about the Legion of Heroes is much more complicated.

There are four legendary fighters in the open, one of whom is a top-level fighter at the peak of the legendary level, and there are hundreds of high-level fighters left who can form a battle formation.

The Legion of Heroes is composed of the souls of former heroes and warriors, who were masters of combat in various fields during their lifetime.

They have rich combat experience and are well versed in various tactics and strategies. They are able to skillfully use both cold weapon combat techniques and combat strategies.

Each hero has his or her own unique skills, including melee and spellcasting skills... The combined challenge doubles the difficulty.

At the same time, the heroic spirit is also a special form of spirit.

They are highly concealed and elusive in combat, can move between solid objects at will, and are ineffective against normal physical attacks.

But this is actually not a big deal, because the players sent by Herbert are not weaklings. They are all legendary-level powerhouses who can easily deal with these special spirits.

In addition to this, these heroic legions have a hidden additional ability.

momentum.

Their existence itself represents a kind of legend and glory. When they appear on the battlefield, they bring with them a violent morale bonus.

The degree of danger...is tentatively rated at five stars.

After a brief analysis, Herbert came to a preliminary conclusion.

Judging from the literal meaning, the target should be placed on the three-headed beast.

However, it is impossible to draw the most perfect conclusion by only analyzing the opponent's strengths and weaknesses without considering one's own abilities.

For example, the three-headed beast has advantages that the other two wreckage occupants do not have.

It can be moved!

Although it has been guarding the ruins of the Heroic Spirit Pool, its range of movement is not restricted.

If Herbert could successfully provoke them, he might be able to lead the three beasts away from the Heroic Spirits Pond and into a trap prepared in advance.

But constructed robots also have weaknesses.

Battery life.

This sudden battle has proved one thing, its energy will not be endless.

The beam energy that starts at zero frame can only fire three times in a short period of time, and no more than that can be fired.

Once you understand this, you will have a lot of room for maneuver.

Flying a kite, fighting in a round-robin battle, and staying awake for the night... There are many ways to consume its energy.

As for the Legion of Heroes... Herbert couldn't think of a particularly reliable way to deal with it for the time being.

There are three initial ideas.

One is to find weapons that can restrain the Heroic Spirits and inflict critical damage on them.

The other is to try to use words to interfere with their thinking, intending to make full use of his speaking ability.

No matter how high the probability of success is, if you can deceive one person, then that’s it; if you can sway one person, then that’s it.

As for the last one... Herbert targeted the biggest weakness of the Legion of Heroes.

Lots of people.

In Herbert's eyes, the large number of Heroic Legion members is not an advantage, but an unavoidable disadvantage.

The opponent's posture is really suitable for defeating them one by one.

But how to separate them is another question.

And there is also a biggest hidden danger in these plans - they cannot attract more beings in the fog.

If those powerful beings in the inner circle were also lured out, I wonder what the final outcome would be.

"..."

After thinking seriously for a while, Herbert shook his head helplessly and couldn't help sighing.

"Oh, it's difficult!"

I just want to create a new Heroic Pool to draw a card, but why do I feel like I'm going to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures?
Is it necessary to make it so difficult?
[“It seems that you have come to a conclusion?”]

"...No, I just have a preliminary idea. I need to think about it more carefully as to how to do it."

Herbert is not a person who likes to act impulsively. He prefers to plan before taking action.

"No rush. Let's run it a little longer and build up Elda first. When the Ice and Snow Goddess Priests arrive, maybe they can give me some new ideas."

As Herbert was thinking this, he felt the Centaur under him slow down and finally stop.

"Ok?"

He looked up at the surrounding environment. He still remembered this place. It was very close to Elda, but there was still some distance.

Why did you stop?

Before Herbert asked, he thought of the reason why Sophia did this.

Because of guilt.

As a guard, she was successful this time.

Successfully protected Herbert and brought him back from crisis.

But as a servant, she felt she had failed in her duty.

Herbert was hurt and almost got too excited and disobeyed his orders...

What a failure.

"..."

Herbert dismounted and came to Sophia.

The Centaur Heroic Spirit stood before him with her head lowered, her eyes full of guilt. Her sturdy Centaur body trembled slightly, and her tail swayed gently with uneasiness.

Sophia knew she had made a mistake.

This mistake was like a heavy rock in her heart, making her soul restless.

Herbert did not blame him, but after waiting for a while, he asked softly: "Do you have anything to say?"

After hearing these words, the Centaur Ying Ling trembled, slowly raised his head, and looked at his master with determination and pleading eyes.

"My Lord..."

Although the teenager was still young, she had a unique dignity to her.

His deep eyes revealed wisdom and calmness. Just standing there quietly, he was like a shining lighthouse in the fog.

"My Lord, I have committed a sin."

Herbert raised his eyebrows and asked:

"Hmm? What's your crime?"

Sophia said to Herbert in a hoarse voice: "I have committed the sins of pride and anger."

Herbert:?

First of all, it is the sin of arrogance... cough!

“If it weren’t for my arrogance, you wouldn’t have come to any harm.”

Sophia looked at the back of Herbert's hand. The scar there had long since healed, but the mistake she had made would never disappear from her heart.

The Centaur Heroic Spirit became even more depressed and said hoarsely, "I almost lost my mind due to anger and did not obey your orders."

It seemed like a trivial matter to Herbert, but to this loyal hero, it was a matter of greater importance than the sky.

She bowed her head deeply and begged:

"I don't ask you to forgive me, I only ask you to punish me."

Mistakes must be treated accordingly, and she believed that Herbert would make the most fair judgment.

"..."

But in fact, Sophia's request made Herbert a little embarrassed.

Because he really didn't think it was a big deal.

Herbert was not of the overbearing character.

I don't want to treat my first follower in an overly harsh manner.

But he also understood that he must not just expose it lightly, as that would only cause Sophia to fall into internal friction.

She is loyal.

But it's also a bit foolish.

She is still unable to understand complex thoughts.

In Sophia's heart.

Right is right, wrong is wrong.

As a superior, you must be clear about rewards and punishments for such subordinates.

Yes, you should be rewarded.

If you are wrong, you should be punished.

Now a mistake has been made.

Only when Sophia is punished can she completely let go of her psychological burden.

After a brief thought, Herbert's mouth curled up slightly and he made a decision.

Herbert looked at the Centaur lady with her head down, raised his hand to hold her chin, asked her to look into his eyes, and asked with a smile:

"Sophia, have you made your decision? Do you want to accept the punishment?"

When Sophia saw Herbert's eyes, she trembled, a hint of expectation appeared in her eyes, and she nodded vigorously.

"Yes, please punish me severely, my Lord."

Please punish me and then forgive me.

She expected Herbert to punish her and forgive her sins.

Herbert nodded and announced softly:

"You hurt me and disobeyed me once, so I will punish you twice."

"Thanks you!!!"

Herbert looked at the excited Centaur, smiled and shook his head, and ordered: "Okay, now close your eyes, and don't open them without my order."

"Yes!"

Just after Miss Centaur closed her eyes, Herbert quietly went behind her.

Herbert slowly raised his hand, then suddenly exerted force and slapped the horse hard on its butt.

"This is the first punishment."

Snapped! ! !
This time, Herbert did not hold back at all and used all the strength he could exert in his current spiritual state!
Because it was a punishment, he also enlisted the help of Nenasha to cover his palms with tiny spikes.

Sophia's reaction was exactly what he expected.

"Well!!!"

The Centaur lady, who had originally intended to remain silent, could not help but groan and fell to her knees weakly.

The feeling at this moment was beyond her imagination.

Because both of them are spirits, all attacks act directly on the soul.

At the moment their souls touched, Sophia felt pain.

pain.

It hurts.

The whole soul was in a trance for a moment, and then felt the pain.

But Sophia was not angry about this.

Yes.

This is what she wanted, this is the punishment she wanted!
Sophia gritted her teeth, her voice trembling as she said gratefully, "Thank you, Lord!"

"Please give me the second punishment!"

But even after she prayed like this, Herbert behind her did not answer.

No, it's more than that.

When Sophia felt it, his breath had already disappeared.

It was as if it had disappeared from this world out of thin air.

"Um!?"

Sophia shouted in panic: "My Lord!? Are you still there?"

She wondered if Herbert had met with any misfortune!
If that's the case, then...

But just as she opened her eyes in panic, trying to find Herbert's figure -

“This is the second time.”

Snapped.

The punishment fell for the second time, and this time it still fell to the same position as before.

"Well!!!"

The Centaur Hero's body trembled violently, and his entire body swayed uncontrollably.

She raised her hand to cover her mouth to prevent her distorted voice from leaking out.

Compared to the severe pain the first time, there were some subtle changes in the feeling this time.

In addition to the pain, there was a special numbness.

Why is this happening?
Why... do I feel comfortable in punishment?
Sophia was confused.

What on earth happened...

Then she heard Herbert's unchanged, calm voice again:

"Sophia, open your eyes."

"You have disappointed me and disobeyed my orders once again, so there will be a third punishment."

"Now, close your eyes again."

Sophia wanted to explain, but in the end she said nothing and obediently closed her eyes and mouth.

“…Yes, my Lord.”

She waited respectfully.

Waiting for Herbert to punish him.

But this time, the wait seemed a little too long.

With the experience from last time, Sophia was not in a hurry to look for Herbert at the beginning.

But when she closed her eyes, she felt that time was passing extremely slowly and was extremely torturous.

"..."

She pursed her lips tightly, trying not to disappoint Herbert again.

But she didn't know how long she had been waiting, and still hadn't received the punishment she deserved.

It was unknown when a new emotion gradually arose in Sophia's heart.

She felt as if something had changed in her spirit.

She is...looking forward to it.

Looking forward to the punishment coming soon, looking forward to feeling new feelings...

What is certain is that Sophia is not a special person like Eliza who likes to feel pain.

But this kind of waiting now made her feel a strange sense of tension.

This expectation tortured her will and almost exhausted her soul.

And finally, just when her spirit was about to reach its limit, Herbert's punishment came.

Snapped!
"Well!!!"

This time, even though she was prepared, Sophia still let out a light snort.

Because this time, the punishment did not cause any pain at all, only a tingling sensation.

The last time, Herbert gave her just a light pat on the butt.

The movement was extremely gentle, more like soothing than patting.

The contact between souls constantly stimulated Sophia's will, pushing her spirit to an extreme.

"My Lord, I, I..."

"Shhh."

Herbert motioned for her to clench her teeth, then squeezed hard at the last moment.

"what--"

Sophia paused, without making a sound, and froze in place.

It took a while for the dazed Centaur lady to come back to her senses.

She felt the lightness in her body dazedly and tilted her head in confusion.

What exactly happened to my body?
Why does it feel so light and so... comfortable?
Wasn't I being punished just now?
I……

"Okay, now open your eyes."

Sophia opened her eyes as Herbert spoke and saw a pair of gentle eyes.

"My Lord, I..."

Herbert stretched out his finger and pressed it on her lips, and asked with a smile: "Do you feel better now? Do you feel better?"

Comfortable?

Sophia blinked and said uncertainly: "...My Lord, is this really a punishment?"

Is this really true?
Herbert waved his hand and insisted, "Don't ask so many questions. Just tell me whether you feel comfortable or not."

Sophia was silent, then nodded shyly: "...Well, I feel very comfortable now."

My body feels light, my soul feels comfortable, and I feel much more transparent.

"That's enough."

Herbert climbed onto his horse and said casually, "This is a serious punishment, but don't think that this is my preference for you."

This is pure technique and operation!

"……clear."

Sophia seemed to understand something and bowed her head gratefully: "Thank you for your kindness."

"I will follow you till my death."

She slowly stood up, and with the most vigorous spirit, continued to move towards Elda with Herbert.

Just after starting, Herbert suddenly added:
"By the way, let me remind you, don't think about making mistakes on your own initiative."

The horse's hooves paused for a moment before continuing on its way.

"……Understood."

Herbert:?

What are you hesitating about?
Before Herbert could ask, after the two approached Elda, a strange feeling suddenly occurred in Herbert's heart.

Ok?
He suddenly felt wet—all over.

???

Herbert was confused for a moment, then he realized that this was the feeling of his original body.

Wait, isn't this right?
You siren, what on earth have you done to me?

He thought for a moment, then told Sophia, "Walk slowly, walk slowly, I'm going to return to my body first."

"Huh? Oh, I see."

Then, Herbert ignored the confused Centaur lady and flew directly towards the physical body.

Thousands of meters away, relying on the pulling of his soul by his body, he instantly returned to his body.

whoosh-

The next moment, Herbert, who had returned to his body, opened his eyes and said, "Hey! What did you do to me?"

The mermaid was obviously not expecting Herbert to return so quickly and was shocked.

“Uh uh!!?”

Fremei was horrified and asked hurriedly: "You! How did you get here so fast!?"

"Why can't I come back so early? You...wait a minute."

Herbert blinked and suddenly found himself soaking naked in the warm spring water... huh?

Where do the hot springs come from?

"What are you doing?"

"I, I...wait, Sophia is coming back too!"

Realizing that Sophia would be back soon, Freme covered Herbert's mouth without any time to explain.

She decided to go all out and dragged Herbert deeper into the hot spring.

Herbert：???
