Diary of Guarding Monster Girls

"Let me join you!"

The embodiment of the Magic Mirror stood delightfully above its body, looking down at the Paladin with a joyful smile at the corner of its mouth, loudly saying:

"I want to become your closest companion, to witness firsthand your magnificent life experiences."

"Believe me, it will certainly be a very wonderful experience!"

For thousands of years, Lukalia has seen too many stories and recorded too much history.

Among those myriad stories, some were dull, and others were quite remarkable.

But she has never been satisfied.

Because she suddenly realized she was still missing a story with enough weight.

She yearned to witness a true legend!

And in that story, there would certainly not be a lack of Divine Spirit factors, but they must not dominate and arrange everything.

That’s not a legend, but merely a tedious tragedy life arranged by the Divine Spirits.

Therefore, Lukalia needed to find a protagonist who was different from the rest.

Someone who could escape the control of the Divine Spirits, who could stand on equal footing with them, or even surpass them.

She had started searching millennia ago.

From the time the Ancient Gods walked the Earth, to the era when Gods battled like beasts, and then to the era when the Divine concealed themselves.

Lukalia had been searching, but never found anyone.

She had secretly watched some seemingly promising candidates, hoping they were special.

But she failed.

Even though they seemed to possess extraordinary abilities and talents, and shone for an entire era, in the end, they still couldn’t escape the fate of being pawns in the hands of the Gods.

This is a world ruled by the Gods, and no one can rise above them.

For those truly brilliant talents, they either become Servants of the Gods or become enemies of the Gods.

And standing against the Gods, the ultimate fate over these many years has been Destruction.

And not only will the individual face Destruction, but everything they love, care for, and try so hard to protect will also be mercilessly destroyed by them.

In securing their status, Gods have always been ruthless.

Even the benevolent Divine Spirits are like this. Although they won’t take the initiative to participate in the Destruction, they also won’t interfere to stop it.

Especially this current belief in the Gods, who were once the victors that overthrew the Ancient Gods, they are more concerned about some Mortals wanting to "Overthrow the Upper."

Does a Dragon Slayer become the evil dragon eventually?

No.

They themselves are the evil dragons; this is their nature.

In every Church’s scriptures, they invariably proclaim their own noble "Divinity," being creators loftier than any Mortal being.

But essentially, the Divine Spirits of this world still maintain the most primitive "humanness," or even "beastliness."

The lofty Divine Spirits override all souls, enslaving their powers, thoughts, even everything.

And to find the "protagonist" she hopes for, he must become an anomaly incompatible with others in this world.

Yet, with the increasingly firm status of the Divine Spirits, their control over the Mortal Realm grows larger, the Church governs Mortal minds, royal authority bows beneath theocratic power, making the birth of such an "anomaly" increasingly difficult.

Facing such difficulties, Lukalia actually thought about giving up, considering stepping back to find a passable substitute, or even cultivating an individual untainted by the Divine Spirits herself.

But before the plan was implemented, Lukalia was found by a certain invincible-looking Deng and sent into this particularly strange prison.

Over the years, even she had developed an idea of giving up, but unexpectedly, just when she thought everything was over, the person she had been seeking actively came to her.

She found him.

This handsome young man with distinctive white hair was exactly the "protagonist" she had hoped for all along.

Though outwardly appearing to be a seemingly friendly and polite Holy Professional, he was actually an arrogant scoundrel who scorned the Divine Spirits.

Yes, yes, this is exactly who I’m looking for!

The moment Lukalia recognized Herbert’s essence, the excitement she felt was something only she understood.

Even Herbert, skilled at discerning human intentions, found it hard to fully grasp Lukalia’s thoughts at that moment.

Thus, Herbert hesitated at Miss Mirror Demon’s sudden goodwill gesture, suspecting there might be some ulterior motives, like harboring a desire for his body or something...

But he indeed had no way to refuse the convenient abilities Miss Mirror Demon offered, the ability for instant communication was just too important, not to mention her appearance being quite acceptable.

Thus, after an intense inner conflict, Herbert ultimately decided to adhere to the philosophy of the steel wool — patience and prosperity.

Done.

I can endure some hardship as long as others can be happy!

"A very wonderful experience? A happy life? Hehe."

Herbert echoed Lukalia’s words, shaking his head in reflection, lightly chuckling.

To achieve a beautiful life?

Friend, do you even know how challenging that truly is?

Even in an ordinary world, achieving such standards is extremely difficult.

Let alone in a dangerous world with Divine Spirits, gaining happiness, what an immense price must be paid?
