Diary of Guarding Monster Girls-Chapter 466 - 295 Monster? Curse? (5K)_3

They are the sharpest blades in the hands of each Dark Elf matriarch, used to handle some secret dirty work.

Used to assassinate opposing forces, and also to intimidate their own people to maintain their rule.

But Teresa, as an ignorant village girl, didn’t know what this meant.

She instinctively felt that the figure in front of her was terrifying, her entire body’s blood seemed to turn colder.

The girl did not act recklessly, instead, she anxiously stared at the opponent, her breathing became more slow.

The Shadow Dagger assassin didn’t care about Teresa’s anxiety, he stepped out from the shadows, tossed the dagger, and smirked coldly:

"Are you the dirty Snake Demon who violated the Moore Family’s taboo? You’ve got a lot of nerve!"

He stopped five meters away from Teresa without stepping closer, scrutinizing her with a disdainful expression.

Teresa felt extremely uncomfortable under his icy gaze but didn’t want to surrender just like that.

She mustered up her courage and shouted at the assassin, "I-I’m not a Snake Demon! I’m just cursed!"

Teresa didn’t know the truth, but she chose to firmly believe in it.

Because it was her only hope to survive!

"A curse?"

Upon hearing this, the assassin’s eyebrows twitched, he took half a step back, his fingertips brushing over a pouch at his waist, and took out a bone ring.

After putting on the ring, the assassin clearly felt more at ease, and he coldly snorted again: "A Snake Demon cursed?"

"You’re talking nonsense!"

Teresa’s tail slapped the ground abruptly, shouting loudly: "I’m not a Snake Demon, I’m just cursed..."

Teresa tried hard to argue, but the assassin was already getting impatient, waving his hand dismissively.

"Enough nonsense, it doesn’t matter if you’re cursed or not, violating the taboo in Moore City means you must pay the price!"

"I’m not, I really am..."

Teresa was arguing and wanted to explain further, when she instinctively felt something wrong behind her.

"Hmm!?"

She abruptly turned her head, seeing her shadow had somehow transformed into another shape—a short shadow!

What?

"Hey, pretty quick reaction."

The shadow opened its eyes, sneering at her in disdain: "But it’s too late now."

The assassin had actually switched places with the shadow!

"You..."

Teresa frantically watched all this, trying to dodge, but found the dagger was already rushing towards her.

The dagger in his hand was incredibly sharp, gleaming with a menacing cold light, stabbing towards her throat.

!!!

Teresa had wanted to die before, that determination was genuine.

She thought she wasn’t afraid of death.

But when death really arrived, when that piercing cold climbed up her spine, nearly freezing all her blood... she panicked.

Death.

Death.

Don’t want to die.

I don’t want to die!!!

"No!!!"

She wanted to escape, but it was already too late.

The blade of that dagger with a colorful gleam sliced her neck, sparking as it grazed her scales, managing to cut through them. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Chhh—

Blood, seeping out.

Turning jet black the moment it fell, quickly transforming into a mass of black gas in mid-air.

Poison.

The dagger had been coated with lethal poison!

And the assassin’s attack was far from over.

After the successful strike, his second attack was instantly launched.

"Ahhh!!!"

In fear, Teresa instinctively let out a loud scream.

Whoosh—

The snake tail that was coiled on the ground swung violently, lashing out at the hooded assassin.

"Heh! I’ve been waiting for this."

The assassin twisted his body in mid-air, his toes actually landing on the snake tail, using the momentum to leap high.

He had already seen the guards’ miserable state, knew this Snake Demon’s tail had terrifying strength, and had to dodge it.

If he was careless, even he would fail!

But since he was already prepared, it wasn’t a problem.

"Dirty Snake Demon, die!"

The assassin twisted his body, then rushed down, ferociously stabbing the dagger towards Teresa’s eyes.

However, this outstanding assassin still overlooked one thing.

If he had taken a few more steps forward, he would’ve seen all the shattered stone statues on the ground, and wouldn’t have targeted Teresa’s eyes for his second attack.

The hair hanging down her right side swung aside, revealing the purple pupil beneath.

It was a cold, snake-like cold eye.

Crack, crack, crack...

"What is this!!?"

The assassin’s arm holding the dagger rapidly petrified, and then the petrification spread quickly along his arm towards his entire body.

"Petrification!"

He abruptly realized the change in his body, immediately altering his actions, fleeing backward desperately.

This damned Snake Demon even had petrification powers!!?

The assassin fled in a panic, while Teresa didn’t seize the chance to counterattack.

As a village girl with no combat experience, Teresa chose to flee directly.

She chose to run, desperately fleeing for her life.

And behind her, the assassin with an entirely petrified right arm did not catch up immediately; he gazed at his arm mumbling.

"Snake Demon, curse, petrification power..."

His eyes lit up, excitedly shouting to gather his companions: "Everyone, come to me! I’ve found the target!"

"I’ve found the special offering required by the matriarch!!!"

"Chase quickly! We must not let her escape!"

...

...

Malagas City, city gate.

"Hmm? Something wrong?" Eliza looked towards Herbert who stopped beside her.

"Hmm... There seems to be something strange here?"

Herbert looked at the target city they were about to enter, lips moving, he asked internally: "Nenasha, did you notice anything?"

But the Harmonious God, often bored and always ready to respond, was strangely silent this time.

It was currently focusing on digesting numerous gains.

"...Forget it, let’s go."

After waiting for a while, Herbert shook his head, telling Eliza: "There shouldn’t be any major problem."

"Nothing serious will happen."
