Diary of the Improper Monster Girl Transformation.

Chapter 98 The Favored One (Thanks to Qiuqiu for being the leader! +3 for the extra chapter!)
"Holy Slash!"

"Hiss, what a strong power!"

Accompanied by the exclamations of the people around, the dazzling golden sword energy streaked across the sky and fiercely rushed towards the middle-aged paladin opposite.

Before, when Herbert was making his moves over there, the middle-aged paladin Garen had not attacked.

"Such pure divine power..."

It is not surprising that Herbert can use the Holy Slash. This is the most basic ability of a paladin and the core of their damage.

Holy Slash is the core skill of the Paladin class. It is a powerful combat skill with very low prerequisites but can burst out great power.

It can add holy damage to all the attacks of the Paladin, and the effect of the Holy Slash will vary depending on the oath the Paladin has taken.

For example, if Garen takes the "Poverty Vow", his Holy Slash will have a significant bonus against enemies such as evil nobles and greedy businessmen who make profits through evil means.

For someone like Herbert, the "Purity Vow" he made should be a special attack against enemies with full charm attributes such as succubus and succubus, which can cause quite astonishing real damage to them.

In addition, there are the Ancient Oath, the Crown Oath, the Oath of Vengeance, the Oath of Salvation... The oaths sworn by the Paladins are different, and the enemies they restrain are also very different.

It seems that special paladins are used to deal with special enemies, but in fact this is not always the case.

Unless the power gap is too great, most paladins will not think too much after seeing something evil and will just draw their swords and charge forward on the spot.

Is there any difference in the results between "destroying the enemy with ten swords with great effort" and "destroying the enemy with three swords with ease"?

No.

As long as evil is finally destroyed, that is enough.

Garen narrowed his eyes and stared at the boy's movements, lowered his center of gravity slightly, and tightened his grip on the sword in his hand.

Since the beginning of this "battle", Garen put aside his contemptuous thoughts.

Although the boy opposite seemed very green in fighting skills and was a complete novice, his precise control over his muscles shocked even a veteran like him.

"Alas, is this a genius? This world is really unfair."

There was not a single unnecessary detail in Herbert's movements when he performed the Supreme Slash. It was exactly as he had demonstrated it to him before. He replicated the movements perfectly, without a single detail missing.

There is no need for thousands of rehearsals, nor is there any need for repeated guidance and correction; one can replicate it perfectly after just one glance.

Even Garen, a veteran warrior who has trained for decades, cannot fully match this level of control over the body.

Garen looked at Herbert with envy in his eyes and couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

"What an enviable talent... A genius is a genius. Even if you waste some time, it's not too late."

When Garen thought of the wasted years of Herbert, he became angry and couldn't help wanting to accuse those stupid nobles.

"What on earth are those idiots in Albert's family thinking? Such a talent is wasted..."

Who would have believed that such a talented young man in combat was just a nobleman who only knew how to talk about art all day long a month ago?
What a waste!
You actually let such a genius engage in art! ! ?

With such steady hands, just let him paint?
If Herbert had picked up the sword earlier, even if he didn't become a paladin, he would have become an excellent warrior!
Garen complained in his heart for a while, and Herbert's Holy Slash also rushed in front of him.

"But it's okay. Fortunately, Herbert wasted all this time, so he finally became a paladin."

"Because, compared to his talent in Paladin heritage, his talent in body control is not worth mentioning at all!"

Garen raised his sword, and with a serious expression, he swung it as well, shouting:

"Supreme Slash!!!"

Clang—a sword energy that was whiter in color and larger in scale was swung out and rushed towards the golden sword energy!

The next second, the two sword energies collided in mid-air, the two forces canceled each other out, and a huge roar erupted, creating a large amount of air waves.

The surging air waves rushed into the faces of everyone present, blowing their clothes and hair into the air. They couldn't help but raise their hands to block it.

Only Blake forgot to resist. He stared at the scene blankly, and did not come to his senses even when the dust and sand hit his face hard.

"That was done by... Your Highness?"

Am I not awake yet?

Garen looked at the scene in front of him, recalled the dazzling golden sword energy, and sighed with emotion.

"This is really an exaggerated favor..."

Before being told by Bishop Rusty Nail himself, Garen would never have believed what was happening before his eyes.

The last time I saw him, he was only at the beginner level, but now he can actually emit a powerful force close to that of the advanced level...

In fact, if he was not still unskilled in controlling his own strength, he would have officially reached a high-level level.

The power of a Paladin mainly comes from two sources: the gods and himself.

The gods' preference for the paladins will affect their strength. After taking the oath, the greater the blessing bestowed by the gods, the greater the power they can exert.

Another point depends on how strictly the Paladins abide by their oaths. The more strictly they abide by their oaths and the more determined they are in their hearts, the greater the power they can exert.

Although it is not ruled out that Herbert is extremely pious about the purity vow, he strictly adheres to spiritual and physical purity in his daily life.

But he had been a paladin for too short a time, and even fulfilling his oath would take time.

Otherwise, if a person says he abstains from sex today, breaks his vow tomorrow and then abstains from sex again, as long as he can guarantee abstention from sex at a certain moment, then can't he also become a paladin?

Therefore, the main factor that can truly affect Herbert's strength can only be the blessing of God.

Herbert was undisguisedly favoured by the spirit that blessed him.

It can be said to be the ultimate favor and honor!

With this favor, Herbert was able to display high-level strength even though his own strength was only at the beginner level.

Garen didn’t even dare to think about it. If Herbert reached a high level or even a legendary level one day...what kind of strength would he be able to display?
Epic? More than epic?
"To be favored to this extent, one can almost be called a person favored by God... How enviable!"

To be honest, Garen felt a little jealous and began to waver in his heart.

"Or, I will..."

If he could gain such powerful strength simply by remaining pure, he would even want to take another vow of purity.

He can remain pure too!

Anyway, my little brother hasn’t used it for many years...it’s better not to use it at all.

Isn’t it just about abstaining from sex?

I can do it too!!!
