Girl Hero: Revenge on Goblins!
Chapter 92: Siren D32_3

Chapter 92: Siren D32_3

This is the source of the town’s prosperity, the history of this lakeside town.

→☆→☆→☆→✧←★←★←★←

[Lake Holy Sword: Faith Reef LV72]

Originally a sword-shaped reef at the bottom of the lake, which after many years of receiving people’s faith has, under the tide and longing, become a holy sword.

In reality, it’s impossible to unseat, not just because it’s a reef, but more so because the holy sword’s magic power is tightly linked with the lake. To truly pull out the holy sword would mean to drain the entire lake of its magic element.

Although the Ceremony of Unsheathing the Sword is destined to fail, for those with enough strength, potential, and will, it doesn’t mind giving its recognition and blessing.

Perhaps in the future, you too will become a part of this town, become a force that protects this town.

Or perhaps, you will take on the entire town’s destiny.

When the time comes, come use me, and I will become your strength.

As the illusion realm ends, the hero’s physical strength also reaches its limit.

An irresistible repulsive force emanated from the holy sword’s handle, causing her to let go of her grasp involuntarily.

The hero only felt darkness before her eyes, her knees weakening, about to kneel on the ground like many challengers before her.

"—!"

But in the next moment, the hero braced her knees with her hands, squeezed out the last bit of her energy, clenched her teeth tightly, and steadfastly stood her ground.

Her calves trembled like that of a newborn foal, her body drenched in sweat like a waterfall, which dripped from her forehead onto the cobblestone path.

The hero felt completely drained inside, weariness came crashing over her like a tsunami, and it was only by a sheer act of willpower that she kept her spine from bending.

Behind her, the church’s monk had already stepped onto the stone path, ready to catch her if she fell.

But not far away, the Cruising Bishop shook his head slightly at him, the monk hesitated for a moment, then withdrew his step, quietly watching the girl’s silhouette along with the others.

The stopwatch had already stopped; nobody knew how much time had passed, but the hero finally caught her breath, feeling slightly recovered.

She slowly straightened up and looked at the holy sword before her.

As if nothing had happened, the Lake Holy Sword stood firmly in the rock, the previous trembling seeming like an illusion.

Yet, the scene that just transpired remains vivid in the audience’s eyes.

"Sister!" The little girl was the first to jump from the stands, and amid the flustered guards, she ran toward the hero.

"—Well done!" The Warrior Guild Leader stood up immediately, voicing his substantial appreciation.

"Did you all see that? Such a small girl, yet she displayed her will before the Holy Sword! This is exactly what we wish and ought to witness in this ceremony!"

As the words of the Warrior Guild Leader faded, the venue erupted with enthusiastic cheers and applause.

Many who also persisted till the end, yet couldn’t stand firmly, proudly puffed up their chests.

[Warrior Guild Leader’s Recognition (Strength not up to par, Extraordinary Physique +20, Sword Unsheathing +50)]

D100+70=d100(94)+70=164

Beside them, the Cruising Bishop too clapped vigorously, his face reflecting an ’as I expected’ expression.

Though the hero heard the applause and cheers behind her, she was temporarily unable to respond.

She didn’t even have the strength to walk, feeling her legs still trembling, simply concentrating on keeping her breathing steady.

And before the little girl could reach the hero, the dim blade of the Lake Holy Sword lit up with radiance.

"Heh, I wonder what it will be?"

Watching this unfold, the White-robed Mage chuckled, caressing his long beard.

In the next moment, in echo to the holy sword’s brilliance, the tide that had retreated, and would take a fair bit of time to return, surged back powerfully and then, like a twister, whirled up around the hero standing in front of the sword.

The hero’s emerald eyes contracted in shock, but her weary body no longer sufficient to let her take action, could only watch as the tide swallowed and engulfed her.

The tidal swirl lifts sparkling and transparent droplets, free of any mud, striking the Hero’s face, neck, and lips like clear and azure gemstones.

The water gem droplets scatter upon the soft skin, shatter into pieces and then transform into invisible mist, gradually permeating into the Hero’s body.

The Dark-light Glimmering Scale Snake at her feet tries to continue staying by the Hero’s side but is gently, yet irresistibly, flung away by the current, landing beside an anxious Little Girl.

"This is—"

Feeling the Magic Power being filled and overwritten with new information inside her, the Hero can’t help but exclaim in surprise.

She has experienced this feeling twice before.

The first time was in her childhood, when she killed a Green Snake with a shovel.

The second time was not long ago, when she touched the Phoenix that fell from the sky.

And now, this is the third time—

But unlike before, the strange Magic Power not only left information of Magic Creatures in her body but went deeper into her very being.

Even the Magic Power of the Phoenix had not allowed her to become proficient in Flame Magic—

Realizing something, the Hero’s expression becomes frantic.

The taboo of a Beast Spirit Mage is that they must not absorb the souls of humanoid Magic Creatures.

Despite her parents’ disdain for her Talent, they still made her remember at least the basic taboos.

Forcing the absorption of humanoid Magic Creatures’ souls will contaminate the Beast Spirit Mage’s own Soul, turning them into non-human, non-magic monster.

But her weary body does not allow her to send out a Refusal signal to the sudden gift from the Holy Sword.

When the tide recedes and the raindrops come to a stop, the Hero blinks somewhat blankly, sensing the end of the blessing.

’It seems, there is no problem?’

[The Hero has obtained Transformation: Bubbles Princess R2]

Form: Humanoid.

Pupils submerged in the vast blue of the sea, voice lost.

After Transformation, one cannot enter into water. (they will turn into bubbles)

[Bubbles Princess R2]

The end of a girl who fell in love.

Her Soul has already dissipated into bubbles, only her former Magic Power remains, blending into the sea and tide.

How did the Lake Holy Sword obtain such an ephemeral Magic Power and preserve it until now?

No one knows the answer.

Perhaps, in the distant past, this lake was once a part of the vast sea.

The blue of the fantasy night has awakened from the dream of love.
