Regarding Luhier's attempt to draw others in, it's actually not surprising, as this was entirely within Herbert's initial plan.

Rebelling against the Monastery, especially defying the Archbishop, is a long-term task and an extremely difficult one.

Herbert needs help from all sides.

Because he has to unite all possible forces.

No matter what attitude this Fallen Angel has, Herbert's thoughts remain unchanged, and his set of response policies also remains unchanged.

First, communicate, probe with words, find the weaknesses, then wait for the opportunity to strategize.

This time, however, his actions were swift because the other party exposed their weaknesses.

The Fallen Angel's power is strong, possibly the strongest of all the Monster Girls he's ever seen.

For Herbert, such an enemy skilled in spiritual abilities is also the most dangerous.

But Luhier is somewhat too extreme, with extremely prominent strengths, her weaknesses are also very apparent.

She is powerful and arrogant.

But at the same time... she is weak and cowardly.

She has a personality flaw, and it's a very fatal one.

And this gives Herbert an opportunity to exploit.

Using that flaw as a breakthrough point, ruthlessly tearing apart her mental support, leaving her to face the harsh reality.

Throughout this process, Herbert seemed relaxed and casual, but in fact, he was somewhat nervous inside.

He had long been prepared to teleport away at any time.

Herbert opened a Teleportation Gate under his feet, ready to plunge into it at the first sign of trouble.

The saying goes — explore boldly but don't mess around with your life.

And judging by the final result, Herbert made the right gamble.

He indeed succeeded.

He significantly improved his relationship with Luhier.

He also successfully piqued Luhier's interest, revealing to her some of his plans to establish a stronghold in the Misty Mountains.

Although Luhier did not give a definite answer, achieving such a result was enough to satisfy him.

No rush.

No matter how long it takes, as long as he can deceive her to come to his side, it's a victory.

With an epic-level helper, the future situation will become easier, and perhaps he can explore the depths of the Misty Mountains.

"By the way, in your opinion, how long will it take for Luhier to regain her past strength?"

["I don't know."]

The Harmonious God didn't even think, answering straightforwardly:

["As a creation that has forsaken the Divine Spirit, she is inherently flawed, and recovering her strength is extremely difficult."]

["Only when she finds what she's truly lacking, or when she understands what she truly desires, will she have a chance to rely on her own strength to become a Saint again."]

Although Nenasha believes that Luhier may pave her path in the future, she doesn't hold great expectations for her.

It's just a possibility.

"Only she can rely on herself? Is there no other way?"

["That's not all, there are two other methods."]

Nenasha spoke with a faint smile, leisurely saying:

["One way is she can continue to use her instincts as a War Angel to plunder from others as she did in the past."]

["Keep slaughtering, keep plundering."]

The strength of War Angels is not constant.

They take part of the strength from the enemies they kill to strengthen themselves, then continue to fight, continue to plunder, continue to absorb...

According to Herbert's understanding, they're like a group of players who can continuously upgrade and enhance.

Fighting monsters, leveling up, fighting high-level monsters, leveling up a lot...

["But in doing so, nothing would be different from the past, and she's likely unwilling to revisit that path."]

After gaining her own will, Luhier definitely doesn't want to return to the confused state where she only knew slaughter and conquest.

"What about the other way?"

["The other way~ hehe."]

Nenasha's smile became more meaningful, leisurely saying:

["That's when she finds another master to serve, and once again receives a certain amount of power."]

Angels are creations meant to serve the Divine Spirit, having a divine being to serve is an instinct engraved in their soul.

"I understand. You mean..."

["That's right!"]

"Make me her master!"

Herbert nodded forcefully, agreeing, "Yes, it's long overdue!"

["When I recover, I'll grant her..."]

Nenasha fell silent, then softly whispered in his ear: ["...Are you done yet? If you keep this up, I'll really get angry!"]

The shadow tentacles beneath his feet kept prodding the soles of Herbert's boots, expressing their discontent.

Knock, knock, knock!

How many times?

I ask you, how many times has it been!

Endlessly, huh!

Is this teasing so amusing!!?

"Alright, I was wrong, don't be mad."

Herbert obediently raised his hand to surrender, apologizing to his ally.

Wrong, wrong!

But you have to admit, teasing is indeed quite fun... cough!

Herbert may have conceded on the surface, but he wasn't truly afraid!

Acknowledging his mistake, but daring to do it again next time.

"But it'll be too late when you come out, let's shelve this plan for now and discuss it later."

By the time Nenasha breaks free from her seal, the matter will have grown cold, what significance would Luhier's restored Saint power hold then?

["Well, that's true~"]

The Harmonious God wasn't genuinely angry, and after a bit of complaining, he put the matter behind him.

Don't criticize when you do the same.

The joy of teasing isn't unique to Herbert.

Nenasha has done it too!

["Oh beautiful young man, strive hard~ Sister really wants to regain her freedom soon——"]

Herbert listened to the lament and couldn't help but laugh, shaking his head as he said:

"At least you should say 'handsome young man', 'beautiful' doesn't quite fit a man."

["Then... a young man with quite well-toned pecs, you must press on! You still need more training!"]

Herbert: ?

"Wait! Why did pecs come into this discussion?"

Is there any connection between this conversation and pecs?

["Yes, why indeed? Hehe, now~ you can't ask me that."]

???

...

At the same time, Fremay, adjusting her alchemy legs over the water surface, instinctively shrank her neck.

"What's happening?"

Why do I suddenly feel a chill?

At this moment, she looked quite different from before.

With the Transformation Magic of Water Elements, she successfully concealed her fish tail, using a long skirt to hide the junction of her legs and body.

At first glance, she was hardly different from ordinary human women...

Looking at her reflection in the water, Fremay nodded in satisfaction and confidently stepped forward with her right leg.

"Ah, ah, ah, ouch!"

Splash.

Glug glug—

Hmm.

The appearance passed, but some practice is still needed.
