Diary of Guarding Monster Girls-Chapter 464 - 295 Monster? Curse? (5K)

Teresa had a feeling that she seemed to have turned into some kind of monster.

A monster with great power.

Strength, speed, physique... everything was different from before.

The world through her eyes also looked different.

Even with her eyes closed, she could sense the airflow, smell, and temperature around her.

The only thing she needed to do was to stick out her tongue, which somehow became slender, and wiggle it casually.

Then, think back to when the transformation occurred.

It seemed to have happened not long ago, the first time she was hunted.

After successfully escaping from the slave merchant’s caravan, Quinna didn’t take her and flee directly.

The woman who claimed to be a knight had Teresa hide carefully in a corner and wait for her return.

She wanted to go back and do something else, not only to save herself but to free other slaves as well.

Teresa obediently listened and quietly hid in that dark corner.

However, Quinna disappeared for a very long time, showing no signs of returning.

As time passed, Teresa’s heart grew more uneasy, and fear gradually overtook excitement, occupying her entire mind.

Finally, clinging to a sliver of hope, Teresa cautiously peeked out, wanting to check the situation outside.

She thought just a peek, a quick glance, wouldn’t lead to any accident.

Then, an accident happened, just as expected.

She met eyes with the Dark Elf guard who happened to pass by, colliding face-to-face.

At that moment, intense fear from her brain almost made Teresa collapse.

The memories that followed became somewhat blurry, leaving only scattered fragments.

Teresa only remembered running for her life, trying to escape from the guard’s grasp.

And she, a village girl without any training, who had been hungry for a long time, actually managed to escape from an armed warrior!

When Teresa finally stopped after running for an unknown amount of time, she noticed the changes in herself.

She seemed to have become a monster with a human torso and snake tail.

What exactly had happened?

Teresa couldn’t figure it out, her heart filled with fear... but that wasn’t entirely true.

When she truly realized what had happened, she was not as frightened as she imagined.

Deep down Teresa had an inkling about it.

Being a smart and sensitive child, she knew from an early age that there was something different about her.

She could see clearer at night than others, never feared bloody scenes, was more susceptible to cold, had a slower heartbeat, and her body temperature was much lower...

There must be a secret in herself, otherwise, her father wouldn’t have left her in that remote village with only elderly people, rather than keeping her by his side.

And although the villagers never deliberately targeted her, never hit or scolded her, their indifference was never concealed.

But like all village girls, no, like all naive children, Teresa also fantasized that there was a special secret associated with her peculiarities. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Teresa fantasized about being unique, being the lucky one "chosen" in the stories.

She waited for her own knight, hoping someone could rescue her from that village.

Later, when she read her father’s letters, Teresa felt thrilled.

She was of noble descent, maybe even one of those princesses in stories who were forced to live outside.

She embarked on a journey, eager to fully uncover the truth.

And now... the truth had emerged.

Indeed, a shocking secret resided within her, but it wasn’t as beautiful as she imagined.

She wasn’t the Princess to be rescued by a knight, nor even the village girl as a side character.

She had become the monster that needed to be eradicated in the stories.

A half-human, half-snake monster!

After realizing this, Teresa couldn’t help but want to cry.

What was all of this for?

Gathering courage to leave the village, being captured by slave merchants midway, enduring hunger, enduring pain... she persisted, not wanting to die, enduring all of this, what was it for?

Was it just to become an ugly monster?

Teresa wanted to die.

She was fed up with this nightmare-like existence, wanting to wake up from the nightmare.

She... didn’t want to live as a monster.

However, Teresa didn’t know how to die.

A village girl, lacking such knowledge.

Her fingers had turned into sharp claws but couldn’t pierce the scales on her throat.

She tried to strangle herself, but her fingers lacked strength, and when she weakly released her grip, probably not even a blood mark would be left.

She attempted to slam into the wall to commit suicide, but only managed to leave a dent in the wall, without a single scratch on her forehead.

Teresa couldn’t kill herself.

After multiple failed attempts, Teresa thought of a solution.

If she couldn’t do it herself, then let someone else do it.

She wanted to die at the hands of others.

Those pursuing guards, they must have a way to kill her!

But Teresa waited for a long time, yet the pursuing soldiers didn’t come, as if they had forgotten her.

After hesitating for a while, Teresa decided to go back the way she came and find those soldiers herself.

Yet her act of seeking death didn’t go as smoothly as she wished.

Teresa first encountered a pile of stone statues.
