Diary of Guarding Monster Girls

Chapter 1121: Chapter 526: Was It Unexpected?

It wasn’t just Finn who noticed the astronomical anomaly; those strong individuals who’ve been keeping an eye on the Northern Lands, or those who had not paid attention before, all sensed the disturbance in the world.

A star in the heavens above extinguished.

Another divine has fallen.

It’s been less than half a year since the last divine perished, and within this extraordinarily short time for these powerful beings, a second one has appeared.

Compared to the first time’s world tremor, this time, whether mortal or divine, all showed an eerie calm.

The whole world seemed to fall into silence, everyone entered a state of speechlessness.

"..."

And this shock was not only because the event happened so suddenly, but because of the reason for these two divines’ deaths.

These two divines died because of mortals.

Moreover, it was by the same mortal!!!

Regrettably, the world did not witness a second mortal Godslayer of this era, but rather elevated the renown and danger of the first Godslayer, Herbert, by several notches.

Though the God of Assassination was actually killed by the Sun God, from the scene at the time, it seemed clear and certain—it was through Herbert’s hand that he was delivered.

And the God of Sand and Stone was another extreme.

Although not killed directly by Herbert, he died due to Herbert’s many manipulations.

Even if Herbert now comes out to clarify that he was uninvolved, insisting he’s not the killer of the God of Sand and Stone, merely claiming the death was self-inflicted, no one would believe him.

Because they had witnessed this unfold firsthand.

The first time, the event happened too suddenly, they were unprepared, and could only watch helplessly as the Sun God effortlessly annihilated the God of Assassination.

Some strong individuals who missed that scene later knew of it and looked down upon Herbert, thinking him just an Apostle basking in the divine’s glory, and not different from other Divine Favorers.

Divine Favorers are puppets of the divines, marionettes manipulated, everything reliant on divine grace.

Without the divine, they are nothing.

But this time, they saw clearly, without any omission.

It was him, it was him, it was indeed him!

Yes, it was his doing!!!

...

Frost Crystal Kingdom.

"He, he actually did it."

"The God of Sand and Stone... has fallen... fallen!!?"

The Kingdom representatives, who had not left after their discussion, looked at the scene broadcast through magic, and the answers timidly given by the Court Astrologers accompanying each country’s entourage, all showing expressions of astonishment and confusion.

Herbert killed the God of Sand and Stone?

He did it again?

The Kingdom representatives stared at each other, bewildered, as if dreaming.

Among the three forces, they were originally the most trusting of Herbert, believing in Herbert’s title as Godslayer.

They genuinely believed in Herbert—from the bottom of their hearts—even if they didn’t believe, they were forcing themselves to believe.

And the reason for this is that apart from Herbert, they had no one else to rely on.

No divine was willing to stand up in this matter, to become the one to contend with the God of Sand and Stone.

Apart from believing, there really was no other choice.

Of course, these nobles appeared quite differently in private.

As soon as the divine disaster loomed, they were already moving their relatives and fortunes to safe places.

Should things become irreversible, they could initiate their early planned retreat.

Even if the Kingdom perished, they could establish a new Kingdom, and with their strong financial power, regain their former status, continuing to act above others.

And this obviously required a lot of time and energy; if they could avoid going through this ordeal, it would naturally be better.

But Herbert’s attitude of resolutely refusing everyone’s help back then brought them unease and worry, thinking this proud Godslayer might pay a painful price for his arrogance.

Though they didn’t think Herbert would be directly killed by the God of Sand and Stone, the expectation was he’d mostly suffer a significant defeat, lose face, and then change his mind, ultimately accepting their help, using the most prudent preparations to deal with the divine.

Now, the results are clear; he actually did as he said he would.

The members of the Northern Kingdom Alliance all breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the sunlight under the gloomy sky becoming bright.

The previously lifeless room turned joyful; they opened several bottles of treasured wine impatiently, beginning to celebrate the promising tomorrow.

Amongst the clinking glasses, they couldn’t help but sigh.

"Godslayer, truly as he said, uh, resolved the trouble from the source..."

In a way, Herbert’s approach this time was actually very straightforward.

Though he might not perfectly solve the troubles faced by the Northern Lands, he could physically resolve the troublemakers.

With the hand of the divine, he accomplished it.

"Honestly, I never would’ve expected, the God of Sand and Stone was so fragile, it’s simply like a... uh, smashed porcelain, bursting open."

"Do you mean a magic energy bomb?"

"Right, right, I’m glad you reminded me... pfft, hahaha!"

A few Kingdom representatives winked and gestured, mimicking the final state of the God of Sand and Stone, then laughed knowingly together.
