Diary of the Improper Monster Girl Transformation.

Chapter 519 Epic Mermaid! (Bonus Chapter 279 for 6.2K Views!)
A deep-water prison.

Herbert, who had been dismissed by Ophidia, strolled leisurely to the center of the pool and looked up at the water sphere floating in mid-air.

"Speaking of which, your advancement was quite sudden."

Just the day before yesterday, Fremei unexpectedly fell asleep during a break between workout sessions.

Herbert's first thought was that the training intensity of the previous group was too high, and he planned to adjust the training rhythm and frequency after she woke up.

As a result, Freyme slept for a full day and night, and not only that, her whole body emanated a powerful magical energy.

The surging water elemental magic swirled around her, transforming into a giant water sphere that enveloped her curled-up body.

From the outside, it looks like a giant egg, or a huge embryo that is nurturing life.

Herbert then realized something was wrong, understanding that she had entered a crucial stage of advancement.

Furthermore, compared to Valentina's lengthy breakthrough during her bloodline advancement, Fremee's early accumulation was already sufficient, and she was only one step away from breaking through, which wouldn't take long.

Upon learning that Freyme's advancement would be completed in the next few days, Herbert decisively changed his plan to quickly expose the devastation of the Sand God in the North and instead stayed at the Discipline Center to oversee it.

Showing off and prowess in front of the world is important, but the safety of those around you is even more important.

And the most important reason is that Freyme would be very happy if she woke up to find him by her side.

If possible, Herbert wouldn't want to miss the moment each of the monster girls advances, and to be able to share in that joy.

In addition, he is also at this delicate juncture, and experiencing this change firsthand will provide him with more reference for his own advancement.

To be honest, Miss Mermaid's early advancement was somewhat unexpected by Herbert.

He originally thought that Eliza, who was always sneaking off and hitching rides everywhere, would be the one to advance the fastest.

After the new feature of multiplayer team dungeon runs was launched, Miss Vampire kept saying that such things were too embarrassing, but she was always present in every team.

She participated very actively, even more so than Svannie, who was a dark elf, and could rival Valentina in gluttony.

As for the reserve one should have as a vampire prince... what's the use of that? Is it tasty?

Through repeated interactions, the vampire lady, who has completely unleashed her true nature, has long since discarded these useless things and tirelessly pursues delicious food.

During this process, Eliza's aura of advancement grew stronger and stronger, as if she might enter a critical state at any moment.

To everyone's surprise, Fremy, who seemed to be unassuming and unambitious, was the one who ultimately won.

If I had to pinpoint any difference between the two of them, it would probably be their styles of doing things.

One is more passive, the other is more proactive.

Although Eliza volunteered, she mostly acted as if she was being forced to participate.

Fremey, on the other hand, represents the other extreme.

Compared to others, I'm not particularly enthusiastic about signing up, but I always show a lot of dedication.

They actively cooperated during the process and were responsible for thoughtful and meticulous follow-up afterward.

Small, frequent attempts ultimately lose out to a one-step solution.

In addition, a small experiment also yielded pleasing results.

After returning from the Misty Mountains, Herbert took the opportunity to trim Valentina's hair while resting with her—and secretly pocketed some epic materials while cleaning up.

After a little processing, it was tasted. It was smooth and creamy on the palate with a burning sensation, but it was a little harsh on the throat... cough cough.

Although the process was somewhat delicate, the outcome was ultimately positive.

It works!
Epic monster girls that have advanced can be considered new materials, and can truly give him a new ability.

That's right, the ability Herbert gained this time has left him somewhat perplexed.

Relying on his "knowledge snake eye" thinking ability from Ophidia, he quickly analyzed the newly acquired blessing without needing Nenasha's explanation.

"Dragon King's Crown!"
This ability differs from other epic abilities; it is neither a self-enhancement nor a special power, but rather more like a form of proof.

A... special qualification.

After fully activating this ability, a pale crown made of thorns and dragon bones will appear above Herbert's head.

If we consider the [Dragon King's Legacy] which he obtained when he was at the Legendary level in Valentina, it gave him the ability to inherit the Dragon King's power.

This time, possessing this crown meant that he had truly earned the title of "Dragon King".

?

I, a human, have become the Dragon King?

Moreover, his strength is not even at the epic level?

Is this right?
When Herbert first figured out what the crown meant, he was completely dumbfounded.

"What do you mean? With this crown, you're just waiting for me to tell the dragons that I am actually a descendant of the dragon? That we are all one family?"

"Or is it that once I obtain this ability, I will become the true Dragon King God of War?"

Despite his complaints, now that he had gained the ability, he naturally wanted to figure out how to maximize its effectiveness.

As the Dragon King, he can understand the languages ​​of all dragons, establish contact with any dragon, and even command them to fight for him.

"Dragon Speaker," "One who rules over dragons"—this ability sounds pretty useful, but is it really?

Herbert tried Valentina, and the results were only so-so.

The crown's domineering effect is indeed real; dragons will naturally regard Herbert as a superior and may even be willing to submit to him.

However, this effect is not significant for epic-level dragons; at most, it gives them a natural filter of goodwill towards Herbert.

Whether or not they should obey orders depends on their own hearts.

Unlike some hypnotic props in adult anime, they won't make the characters roll their eyes and make a peace sign.

As for the effect on legendary dragons, and how all monsters with dragon blood will react, only personal testing can provide a conclusion.

The ability is good, but for Herbert, it is not very useful at present.

I have no connection with the Dragon King's Court, so what would I do with this ability?
I do have a dragon, but only one.

The ability to command dragons is completely unnecessary.

Even without that ability, I can make her roll over or bend her head down; I've unlocked all sorts of positions.

Tasteless!

Herbert circled the water sphere a few times, observing it carefully.

"Tsk! You've asked her so many times, she's really fine!"

Finally, after Nenasha's impatient assurances, it was confirmed that Fremeg's advancement was no longer in danger, and all that remained was to wait for it to happen naturally.

"It's time to go. If you keep dawdling like this, you'll never get to leave."

"Okay, since you've said so, then it should be fine."

He finally felt relieved and prepared to explore other floors to see if he could empower other monster girls and unlock a few more epic combat powers.

Master He may be average in other aspects, but in the art of initiation, he is absolutely top-notch!
A true craftsman, a legendary master of initiation!

"Speaking of which, if we were to give a title, 'The One Who Controls Dragons' seems a bit too long. Perhaps we could simplify it?"

"For example, fuck... um?"

Herbert turned around, just about to push open the portal to another place, when before his whimsical idea was over, a pair of lotus-root arms suddenly emerged from the water sphere behind him.

Wow.

Then, he felt everything go black.

The mermaid behind him covered his eyes with one hand and wrapped her arms around his neck with the other, pressing her entire body against his back in an intimate manner.

"Eh?"

Fremy succeeded!!?
So fast!
Herbert was overjoyed and was about to congratulate Fremei on her advancement to Epic rank when a sweet voice, gentle yet laced with a hint of threat, softly sounded in his ear.

"My faithless hero, I never asked you to stay by my side forever. A hero like you will surely be admired by others."

“I understand all of this, and I don’t think it’s your fault.”

Accompanied by a gentle complaint, the arm resting on her neck slowly tightened, a gentle movement that sent a shiver down one's spine for no apparent reason.

"But I've only slept for a little while, and you're already planning to leave me alone somewhere?"

The mermaid opened her mouth and resentfully bit the unfaithful man's ear.

I've only slept for a little while, and you're already sneaking away?
You really don't want to be with me!

Herbert was completely baffled by the question.

How did I become a heartless man?
I have no one else to help me, I've been by your side every day!

I... Oh!

"Freme, wait a minute. Before you continue your accusations against me, I suggest you answer a question first—are you still dreaming?"

Fremei hasn't discovered any problems yet.

It seems that Fremee's advancement this time was completely natural, and she didn't even realize the changes that had occurred in her.

She was simply exhausted and took a nap, and when she woke up, she naturally broke through to the next level.

Valentina's previous breakthroughs took a considerable amount of time for two reasons.

On the one hand, this is because the breakthrough of a dragon is like this: it requires accumulating a lot of energy and then spending a lot of time digesting it, often taking months, years, or even hundreds of years.

On the other hand, it's because she spends most of her time unconsciously perfecting her bloodline, making it closer to the so-called ancestor "Dragon King".

As a born member of the siren royal family, Freyme was born at the finish line of the siren race's evolutionary path, skipping the step of perfecting her bloodline.

Tsk.

All I can say is that she truly lives up to her lineage as a member of the Siren royal family; such astonishing talent is something to be envied!

Herbert reminded Freyme to wake up, intending to make her notice the changes in herself; it was a purely kind gesture.

But he didn't realize that the meaning of this sentence is completely different in different contexts.

When these words reached Freyme's ears without any prior context, they naturally took on a different meaning.

—It went from “Honey, you’re still half asleep, wake up!” to “You’re actually complaining about me? Are you trying to teach me how to do things?”

Fremei was just being coquettish and muttering something casually; she wasn't really angry.

But upon hearing this, a surge of anger and discontent suddenly rose within him, and he narrowed his eyes.

"……What did you say?"

You're saying I'm not awake?

Do you think I'm out of my mind?
I've only said a couple of things to you, and you're already getting impatient?
Creak, creak...

Herbert felt the pressure on his neck increasing and realized that she might have misunderstood, so he quickly raised his hand and gently patted the slender arm that was locking his throat.

Oh no, the naked choke is about to take shape!
I surrender, I surrender, meow!

"Hey, wait, wait a minute, it's a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding! That's not what I meant!"

Taking advantage of Freyme's pause, Herbert quickly said, "Don't you feel any difference in yourself? Don't you feel any changes in your body?"

"Ok?"

Freyme blinked, and asked instinctively, "Did you... uh, do something to me while I was asleep?"

Perhaps it was because she had spent too much time with Herbert, but the once pure mermaid had become tainted by too much filth. Upon hearing this, the image of what the two of them had done next to the sleeping Valentina flashed through her mind.

The mermaid blushed slightly, wagged her tail shyly, and mumbled coyly, "Oh dear, you don't have to do that kind of thing secretly. You can do it while I'm awake..."

?

Miss, I'm warning you, you can't drive without a license!

Moreover, what is all this about?
Your thought process is starting to become just as strange as mine!
Herbert, unusually exhausted, sighed helplessly and gave up the fight.

Tired, destroy it.

That's it, just strangle me to death!
It has to be said, fate is a really strange thing.

When you don't want to die, the whole world is full of malice and desperately wants to kill you.

But when you give up resistance and prepare to face death, the world suddenly changes its tune and shows you kindness in every way.

Herbert gave up resisting, and at that moment, Freyme finally noticed the changes in her body.

"...Eh, what, what is this?!"

Her shy, bashful expression froze on her face, her gentle eyes gradually widened, and she felt the surging magic within her body in disbelief.

Is this my body?

No, who put this magic into my body?

She had some absurd and wild thoughts for a while, but finally calmed down.

"I've advanced to Epic rank?"

"Eh!"

"Why don't I feel anything at all?!"

With a blink of an eye, you've progressed from legendary to epic.

how to say?

It doesn't feel like the advanced version at all!
This doesn't mean she wasn't happy about her advancement.

I'm still happy; who wouldn't like to feel powerful? But I really lack a sense of participation in this matter.

While excited, Freyme pursed her lips somewhat embarrassed, realizing that she had misunderstood Herbert.

Advancing to Epic rank certainly wouldn't take only half a day. He didn't know how long he had been guarding here, waiting for him to wake up.

As a result, after finally waking up, I was subjected to unwarranted complaints.

“Ah, wow…”

The mermaid let out an embarrassed sob, pondering how to salvage the situation and find a way to heal his wounded heart.

In addition, there was something else that Fremei had always been concerned about.

"Now that I've advanced to the Epic level, this feeling isn't just my imagination..."

She looked around blankly, and in this water dungeon, she had a strange feeling that she was everywhere.

It seems that as long as there is water, I can...

"Miss Freyme—if you don't intend to strangle me, would you consider letting me go?"

Herbert, now fully recovered, guessed that the mermaid must be feeling very awkward, so he jokingly said, "Now you either have to kill me to silence me, or you'll have to think of ways to satisfy me."

"But I think you wouldn't have the heart to hurt such a good partner as me, right? You definitely wouldn't... ugh!?"

He was making a joke when he suddenly felt his lips being sealed with someone's lips.

Herbert was ambushed and forcibly kissed!

Herbert was stunned for a moment when he was kissed, and then he shuddered in shock.

“Hmm!!?”

Being kissed is not a problem; as long as he refreshes the page the next day, he'll have a new first kiss.

But the question now is—who is kissing me?

As the highest-ranking authority holder in the Third Discipline Office, Herbert was absolutely certain that he and Freyme were the only two people in the recent Deepwater Prison.

And now, Fremy is still hugging me from behind?

Who?
Who forcibly kissed me?!?

But strangely, he had a peculiar feeling—he recognized the shape of those lips; he had kissed them countless times.

It's absolutely Freyme's lips.

???

Herbert stood there bewildered for a while, then finally gave up resisting and let Freyme kiss him.

After a moment, his vision finally cleared, and he silently nodded at the person in front of him.

"..."

That's right.

The woman in front of him was indeed a mermaid looking embarrassed; he hadn't mistaken her for someone else.

then……

He turned his head with a little trepidation and nodded with a sigh.

"Ah, as expected."

Behind her was another familiar face—Freume.

Herbert looked at it from both sides and confirmed that there was not the slightest difference.

Everything about them—their eyes, aura, soul, strength, and even the feeling they give off—is exactly the same.

No outsider could possibly do this; only a single soul could accomplish it.

"So, this is your epic ability? A clone? It feels no different from the original."

After calming down, Herbert became somewhat interested in the epic abilities Freyme had shown him, and reached out to tug at the cheek of the clone in front of him.

However, when it comes to the ability to create clones, Svannie has reached the limit of mortals, and it is really difficult for others to surpass her.

Sfanie can control hundreds of pre-prepared clones in her extreme state. Although only a few of them have some of the combat power of the original body and cannot last long, it is still amazing.

As a result, the Freyme clone in front of her blinked and suddenly smiled strangely: "Is it possible that I am not a clone, but the real me?"

"Ok?"

Herbert suddenly turned around and looked at the body he was absolutely certain of.

Then, in his suddenly narrowed gaze, the "Freme herself" behind him smiled slightly, and the next second she shattered with a bang, turning into clear streams of water that fell down.

Wow.

Moreover, what Freyme truly wanted to show Herbert was far from over.

"Freme, what is this...?"

The next second, another figure appeared beside Herbert, and then "Clone Number One" in front of him shattered and disappeared.

"You... are all clones?"

Another Freyme appeared, shook her head at Herbert, and said softly, "No, it should be said that they are all the original forms."

This time, Herbert finally saw how she changed—she was transformed from a water droplet.

The two Freymes, one on each side, reached out and pulled Herbert, who was frowning in thought, into their arms, squeezing him between them like two people sandwiching him.

They lowered their eyes and said slowly, "As for this ability, it should be called... an avatar rather than a clone."

As they spoke, their bodies completely transformed into elements, turning into transparent flowing water.

Herbert finally realized what Freyme's awakened epic ability was—an elemental avatar possessing all the power of the original body and capable of switching between the primary and secondary forms at any time.

In other words, as long as a drop of water element containing Fremey's soul is left behind, she can rely on this drop of water to recover after her clone is destroyed.

In a sense, this can be considered a kind of rebirth through bloodshed.

It's somewhat like the soul box that liches prepare for themselves, but it's more like the avatar ability gained after breaking through to the level of gods.

This is a special ability that should only be attained after advancing to the level of a saint, and it is similar to the divine power incarnation of a god.

As Herbert was reflecting on this, he suddenly sensed two dangerous gazes staring intently at him.

Ok?
Herbert subconsciously looked up and saw the mermaid lick her lips, her eyes revealing a dangerous look as she eyed her prey.

Um! ! ?
Upon meeting Herbert's gaze, Freyme made no attempt to hide her sincerity and gave a light cough.

"Ahem, Herbert, I apologize for my rudeness earlier. Please don't take it to heart."

"To prove my remorse, please let me make it up to you properly!"

As she spoke, she tried to pull Herbert into the water, doing her utmost to repay him.

!!!

"Uh, not this time, I have other things to do... Yes, the Northland is still waiting for me to save it!"

Realizing something was wrong, Herbert tried to break free, but he was outnumbered and trapped in the middle by the pressure from all sides.

Stop, stop for a second, I can't breathe—

"Herbert, you seem to have misunderstood something."

Freyme said softly, but with an undeniable air of authority, "I'm not discussing this with you right now."

"……Um?"

The two Fremeis worked together, pulling Herbert up and dragging him into the water.

"You have no choice but to accept this. Alright, let me make it up to you."

Elbow, follow me into the house!

"Wait……"

thump.

“Hmm!!?”

After entering the water, Herbert regained his senses and suddenly his eyes widened as he remembered a detail he had almost overlooked.

wrong!

"Nenesha, you betrayed me?!"

You damned god of humor, didn't you just say that Freyme still had a long time before she could finish advancing?
【"Ah."】

"So what? Didn't I tell you to leave? You didn't leave on your own, so how can you blame me?"

Useless teammates, can't carry the team, really can't carry the team.

Miss Harmony chuckled coldly, muttering something under her breath, and disdainfully severed the sensory connection between the two.

"I'm leaving. Enjoy yourself!"
