Girl Hero: Revenge on Goblins!-Chapter 305: D108. Ode to the Wind of Freedom

"So it’s truly a curse of the mind," the Sergeant thought, holding his forehead with concern as he watched the dazed Hero after the departure of the Ancient Hero.

Compared to the solemnity during battle, this Ghost Warrior now appeared much more animated, contrasting amusingly with his robust and towering figure, exuding an inexplicable charisma.

However, the Hero was now completely ignoring the Sergeant whom she had once revered. Standing in the shadow of his towering frame, her expression was blank, like a mindless puppet.

As one of the strongest warriors at the border, the Sergeant held a position second only to the Border Count in the military. Yet, it was his irreplaceable charisma, more than his rank and power, that inspired soldiers to unhesitatingly offer their magic power for his support.

After discussing with the Military Mage and the Cruising Bishop accompanying him, they had roughly assessed the curse afflicting the Hero.

Standing at the center of the army formation that had gone on high alert, they gazed at the Hero with complex expressions.

A slightly sweet, fragrant aura lingered in the air. Dressed in a somewhat oversized military uniform that covered her back, making her appear particularly petite, the girl with brilliant emerald eyes stared blankly at the distant night sky.

Since the soul of the Ancient Hero had left, she had stood there, seemingly deep in thought, yet appearing as though she pondered nothing at all.

"Will she be alright?" Nearby, the White Snake lowered its massive head, a hint of worry in its eyes.

In the recent battle, the White Snake had fully supported the Hero and had been seriously injured.

However, with the Forbidden Curse power unleashed by the Hero, her injuries had healed; the charred scales had all shed, replaced by a new layer of scale armor. Yet, the new scales had a slight color difference from the old ones, encapsulating the tale of a fierce battle.

The Cruising Bishop nodded and spoke gravely, "No need to worry, the curse on Lady Saintess is not overly destructive. She possesses a certain degree of resistance herself, and with the swift and decisive defeat of the Corrupted Phoenix, it didn’t have much chance to retaliate, so the curse will not threaten her life."

Familiar with the White Snake’s presence, for the Snow Woman had been tasked by the Church Court to track this Phantom Beast.

"But..."

With no hesitation in addressing the Hero, the Cruising Bishop showed some reluctance as he looked at the Military Mage, who excelled in mind-related spells.

The Military Mage’s demeanor was equally solemn as he contemplated how best to explain to the White Snake.

For the army, morale and spiritual will were crucial factors affecting combat strength.

Mind-related spells not only bolstered the will of soldiers but also shielded against mental pollution and even temporarily blocked pain, thus significantly enhancing the army’s combat efficiency. As such, they were highly valued in the forces under the Border Count.

Within this unit that had participated in the Great Demon extermination campaign, figures like the Sergeant, the Cruising Bishop, and the Military Mage were all exceptional talents selected from among hundreds. The consolidation of soldiers’ magic power into a Heroic Soul relied not only on the Sergeant’s strength but also on the Military Mage’s invaluable support.

Thus, though a powerful Fantasy Species like the White Snake was nearby, they showed no sign of alert or fear, for in the course of fighting side by side, the White Snake had earned their trust.

Moreover, the Border Count’s family naturally possessed strong Contracted Demons, making it seem justified that Miss Hero would have such a Fantasy Species as her familiar.

After all, only such a powerful magical creature was worthy of such an outstanding girl.

[Hero acquired the border title: Our Holy Maiden]

More than the glory of felling the Phoenix, what lingered in the soldiers’ hearts was the girl’s beautiful and holy dance, the tenderness and Universal Love that seeped to the core when the light descended.

It wasn’t an aloof charity or an untouchable sanctity, but rather the most genuine giving and sharing, like a familiar girl warmly handing you half of her dessert.

At the same time, this title expressed their deep safeguard for the girl with a heart as pure as a newborn’s.

Ending his brief contemplation, the Military Mage slowly spoke, "Although lacking direct destructiveness, the effect of this curse isn’t minor."

He scratched his head, struggling with how to explain.

"Simply put, she doesn’t think about the consequences of her actions now, and there’s an aura emanating from her that can become an obsession for magical creatures, especially Evil Demons."

He paused slightly, casting a glance at the White Snake, adding, "...To put it into words, you should be able to smell it."

"...Indeed."

Unable to resist, the White Snake shifted its gaze slightly, flicking its tongue twice.

Silence settled over the scene.

"I understand the issue with the aura," the White Snake controlled its tone, remaining calm as it proceeded to inquire:
