"Even if you really encounter a crisis, you can let her cover the rear, and then take the opportunity to escape."
Fremay said this very bluntly, without any concern that the person involved was listening right beside her.
"Hmm?"
But Sofia, upon hearing this, was not at all angry. She didn't feel she was being used as a scapegoat; instead, her eyes lit up!
"Swear to defend my master to the death!!!"
Sofia became more spirited, filled with high morale.
If she were still human, her heartbeat would be inaudible after becoming a Heroic Spirit. Otherwise, Herbert would surely sense the frantic beating of her heart at that moment.
Herbert: ?
You blockheaded fool, what are you excited about?
People are using you as cannon fodder, but you take it as a heroic sacrifice.
You... have a future!
A bright future!
Not only are you the chosen construction worker, but also the chosen scapegoat... Understand now.
You're like the intern who signs off after an accident.
How could such a progressive talent like you not be favored by the leadership?
After pondering for a while, Herbert nodded and accepted Fremay's suggestion.
"...Hmm, okay."
Although Fremay's suggestion was somewhat different from Herbert's original plan to stealthily infiltrate with spiritualization, it clearly couldn't be done quietly.
But undeniably, it was still a good method.
Moreover, since Fremay insisted so much, he was willing to accept it.
Seeing Herbert comply, Fremay's attitude softened a bit, and she gently asked, "There's one more thing, I'm not sure what your Spirit Body ability is?"
"As for abilities, let me try..."
Herbert hadn't tested it before and closed his eyes to start attempting it.
Herbert focused, sensing the surge of mysterious power within himself.
Buzz...
With his transformation, the surrounding air seemed to change instantly.
Driven by Herbert's mind, his body gradually turned transparent. First his hands and feet, as if enveloped by a faint halo, which continued to spread until his entire body was covered.
When Herbert opened his eyes, his whole body had become transparent.
Including his clothes, everything turned transparent, avoiding any awkwardness of nudity.
"It's really spiritualization..."
In Fremay's eyes, Herbert now appeared much like Sofia, but his appearance was slightly blurred, as if shrouded in a layer of mist.
That appearance was just like the Mist Ghost Wolf in its Half-Spirit Form.
Wait, Mist Ghost Wolf...
"..."
Fremay seemed to have thought of something, squinting her eyes at Herbert, contemplating quietly.
Meanwhile, Herbert didn't notice her change and was completely immersed in his own transformation.
"This is the vision of the Spirit Body."
In his spiritualized state, everything felt different.
Beyond the five senses, it seemed as if a sixth sense emerged... He appeared to see another side of the world.
Fremay, unchanged, remained as beautiful as before.
But when he turned his gaze to Sofia, his eyes suddenly widened.
"Oh ho!"
In the boy's eyes, filled with wonder, the Centaur Heroic Spirit, which was previously seen as an ethereal soul, underwent a surprising transformation, morphing into another form.
What was once a faint shadow now had a tangible outline.
The Centaur Heroic Spirit was no longer an ephemeral, ethereal presence but showcased her living, valiant elegance with clarity.
Her upper body appeared human, with a slender and graceful posture, fluid muscle lines, revealing a set of scarred abs.
Her face was exquisite and resolute, eyes bright and deep, carrying a seasoned calmness and determination from years of battle, a mane of flaxen hair fluttering in the wind.
Her lower body was a robust horse's body, with a mane like white flames dancing freely in the wind. Her equine muscle was taut, each muscle like a meticulously carved artwork, full of explosive power.
Those four sturdy and powerful legs stood firmly like stone pillars, hooves seemingly forged from steel, making the ground tremble with each step.
The long spear she held flickered with a cold glimmer under the light, seemingly narrating past glory and achievements.
The battle armor she wore bore traces of age, yet its exquisite and durable nature couldn't be hidden. The patterns on the armor resembled ancient totems, mysterious and full of power.
"My Lord?"
Sofia, caught by Herbert's amazed gaze, felt a bit unnatural, looking at herself in bewilderment.
"Is there something wrong with me?"
"No, nothing."
Herbert withdrew his surprised gaze, shaking his head with a smile, "Just felt your physique is great, very powerful."
After speaking, he ignored the excited centaur lady and turned his gaze towards the surrounding mist.
"Is this the perspective of the Spirit Realm?"
He seemed to see the real appearance of the originally misty mountain range.
At this moment, in Herbert's eyes, the once desolate mist was no longer simply indistinct.
The mist seemed to be gently parted by an invisible hand, revealing an astonishing sight before him—a ruined Divine Kingdom.
The once magnificent and resplendent Divine Kingdom, emitting endless brilliance, now left only broken walls and ruins.
Trees had transformed into massive stone pillars, leaning in disarray, the exquisite carvings on their shafts worn down by time to become indistinct.
Those images that once vividly narrated the glory and legends of the gods now only hinted at their outlines.
