Chapter 1305 - 592: Slime Girl?

Chapter 1305: Chapter 592: Slime Girl?

["Hmm?"]

Nenasha was amused and speechless by Herbert’s wild imagination, and said: ["No, I’ve told you many times, it’s not an octopus!"]

["It’s my creation from the Divine Kingdom, it has nothing to do with octopuses!"]

I already told you it’s not an octopus, and you keep saying it! Are you making a wish here with me?

"Well... hmm, okay."

Herbert didn’t actually forget this point, but the preconceived impression was too deep, making it impossible for him to forget that sturdy tentacle.

That was an octopus tentacle, with suckers too!

He pouted, deeply sighing in regret.

Eh, was it really not?

Truly disappointing...

Nenasha directly ignored Herbert’s reaction, thought for a moment, and added:

["However, even though it’s not an octopus, judging by its form just now... it might be somewhat similar to certain special Slimes?"]

"Hmm?"

Herbert, who was still a bit "depressed," immediately perked up.

"Tell me more in detail!"

["Hmm?"]

Miss Harmonious God was quite disdainful of her partner’s reaction, feeling this guy definitely had some questionable hobbies.

But she didn’t have much to complain about.

Because Herbert turning out this way, it’s very likely, um, very possibly, she bore a tiny bit of responsibility.

Hmm...

Nenasha decided to ignore these unimportant details.

Hey, this is not worth the fuss.

While it might not be quite right, many little ones will thank me for this!

["If it still retains the abilities from its creation period, then it can certainly change its state at will, along with some devouring ability."]

["Moreover, from my earlier perception, although its power is now only Legendary, its concealment and teleportation skills seem to have reached Epic Level."]

Nenasha wasn’t entirely sure what had happened to the Holy Grail, but after the evaluator retracted the authority of the dream realm, she could feel a familiar aura from it.

She could roughly guess that this guy might have, by some chance, become the spirit of her fragmented Divine Kingdom.

Furthermore, it might have unconsciously grasped some special authority.

For instance, that extraordinary concealment ability probably came from the authority of [Concealment].

As for why a creation of the Divine Kingdom could control her authority, that was probably related to the original ability of the Holy Grail.

First, as a Holy Grail, it could be regarded as a special container, and at the same time, it was part of the Divine Kingdom itself, so [authority] didn’t reject it.

Second, it itself developed intelligence under special conditions, and also came into contact with Herbert, thereby absorbing some of his aura.

Coincidence led to this lucky guy walking a path that no one had ever thought of.

Miss Harmonious God was analyzing the situation, while Herbert kept blinking.

"Not coming."

Herbert wasn’t interested in what Nenasha said afterwards, he was more concerned with the first part — Slime?

Oh ho!

Slime is great!

Slime Girl has always been an indispensable part of Otherworld themes!

For so long, he had never encountered a Slime Girl, which made Herbert a bit restless.

Finally, now the Slime Girl came to him by itself.

Indeed, some things can’t be rushed.

If I don’t go to the Monster Girls, they will naturally come to me!

Though it can’t be determined if the Holy Grail transforming into a humanoid form was female, or even had a gender, Herbert wasn’t worried about these things.

If it has a gender, fine, no need to force it.

But if it doesn’t have a gender...

Then Herbert believes it will surely make the right choice.

"But where on earth did it run to? Did I scare it just now? Why did it run... uh."

Herbert, thinking about his previous "greeting," pouted awkwardly.

Well, surely it should run away.

Just look at that scene, who wouldn’t run?

You not running?

Then you’re the best! (gives a thumbs up)

Herbert stood in place, spreading his Epic Level perception like an invisible web, carefully examining every inch of land and every wisp of mist within hundreds of meters around, trying to find a trace of the Holy Grail’s aura once more.

But, unfortunately.

None.

Other than the Holy Light aura left by his Supreme Slash earlier, that special aura belonging to the "Holy Grail" had completely disappeared without a trace.

The opponent’s concealment skill, indeed as Nenasha said, had reached quite an astonishing level.

If he hadn’t instinctively turned around just now, he probably wouldn’t have captured that initial sense of being watched.

["Don’t waste your energy; save it."]

Nenasha’s voice carried a hint of understanding as she leisurely said: ["If it sincerely wants to hide now, leveraging the Divine Kingdom’s special environment, you simply won’t find it."]

["Unless you put a lot of effort into turning this place upside down, or it exposes its flaw on its own, it’s very hard to extract it."]

["Especially now, it seems to have naively grasped a bit of the surface of the ’Concealment’ authority... though superficial, it’s certainly enough to play hide and seek."]

"Playing hide and seek? Your way of putting it is really... hmm?"

Herbert was about to retort when his mind suddenly blinked, and a thought flashed through his head.

The Holy Grail seems to have done this not for the first time.

The other party seemed to often linger near Elda before, and after being discovered, quickly slipped away along the underground waterways.

Catch me if you can, back and forth, never tiring of the chase.

He recalled that the Holy Grail often popped up and then retreated in the lakes outside Elda before, thinking its nature might not have changed much, just its abilities and form had upgraded.

It has evolved from a "tentacle monster peeking from the lake" to a "Slime Girl (suspected) peeking from the mist".

Wait, could it be?

Could it be treating this as a kind of game between the two of them?

Although this is quite an unreliable guess, but... if it really is you?

"..."

Herbert stroked his chin, his gaze once again in the direction where the Holy Grail disappeared, his eyes flickering with thoughts.

He tentatively spoke in that direction, using a tone laced with a slight spiritual fluctuation, not loud, yet clearly penetrating the mist:

"I know you can hear me."

"That little bit earlier was just to say hi, um, you don’t need to be afraid."

"Next time if you come looking for me, make a bit more noise... um, you’re hiding too well now, I almost didn’t notice."

The mist rolled as usual, with no response.

But Herbert vaguely felt that some hidden presence in an unknown corner might have "heard" it.

He waited for a moment, carefully scanning several times with his perception, confirming the Holy Grail wouldn’t show up again shortly, finally giving up the idea of immediately "bringing it to justice".

"Forget it."

He shrugged his shoulders, speaking to Nenasha in his mind, as if talking to himself as well: "Seems like there’s no chance for in-depth communication today."

"However, since it hasn’t changed its old habits, still preferring to come over and peek, we’ll run into it sooner or later."

"Maybe when we make a bit more of a commotion deeper in, its curiosity will get the better of it and it’ll come closer."

It always feels like luring a silly deer.

No, it’s voluntary.

That’s right, it must want to come home with me.

["I think so too."]

Nenasha chimed in, also believing the Holy Grail would likely show itself: ["It’s amazing, I didn’t think it could become the spirit of the Divine Kingdom, quite a pleasant surprise."]

["If we can completely control it afterward, our control over the Divine Kingdom will greatly increase too."]

["Moreover, if it can continue to devour more authority, it’ll be even more convenient."]

The authority of the Mist Mountain Range is not all held by the remnants of life within the Divine Kingdom, some scattered unclaimed authorities are scattered everywhere.

Some weak authorities, if not absorbed by Heroic Spirits or Demons, would fall into complete silence.

Originally, only after thoroughly mastering the Mist Mountain Range would it be convenient for a carpet search and collection.

But now, the Holy Grail, with its power to devour and store, is likely still unconsciously collecting those scattered powers.

This will quickly enhance the Holy Grail’s power, making capturing it increasingly difficult.

Yet, the benefits are quite clear as well.

Once captured, a large amount of authority can be recovered all at once.

"Oh? That’s good news."

Herbert’s eyes lit up slightly, but then he shook his head, not rushing to act, and softly said: "But still, it has to appear on its own."

["Well, I’m not in a hurry."]

Nenasha was originally quite eager to regain power, as both Herbert and it needed power for protection.

But now, after Herbert advanced to Epic, it became more composed.

The contractor has grown?

Time to kick back and relax~

Now in this world, beings that could threaten Herbert have greatly diminished.

And the Divine beings won’t easily step in, none would lightly provoke Herbert, the crazy Godslayer.

Even if really met with danger, at worst it could just directly possess him.

Given Herbert’s current body, even a slightly rough usage wouldn’t pose any issue.

And now, we can’t really find that slippery fellow!

If it weren’t for Herbert turning his head instinctively due to some sixth sense, even it wouldn’t have realized someone was secretly watching.

["...Hmm?"]

Nenasha pondered, suddenly aware of a discrepancy — could Herbert really notice the Holy Grail?

["That is the power of Concealment, he shouldn’t have noticed it, right?"]

["Then, the gaze Herbert sensed earlier, was it really from the Holy Grail?"]

It didn’t share this unconfirmed doubt with Herbert, but quietly shelved the idea of slacking off.

["Is anyone else observing from the shadows?"]

["Who could it be?"]

And as Nenasha remained uncharacteristically quiet, Herbert also turned his head, looking at the Legion Commander and Sofia standing respectfully behind him.

Under the burning respectful gaze of the two, about to speak, he suddenly heard the Legion Commander speak up respectfully.

"As expected of Lord Herbert!"

"You managed to directly defeat the observer with just one slash!"

Herbert: ?

What are you talking about?
