Chapter 279

Aside from Little Death’s inability to exert precise control over her mana, Alice also noticed a little detail that might justify Flaman’s evaluation of the undead girl to be as strong as he was.

Whenever Alice got close to Little Death, she noticed that the undead girl’s mana output would see a clear increase. Conversely, when she distanced herself from Little Death, the undead girl would reduce her attack frequency, go on the defensive, and try to get close to her. This behavior might make sense if Little Death was a close-quarters magic warrior, but the undead girl was obviously a magician capable of using long-range attacks.

So, Alice quickly realized that Little Death’s behavior might have something to do with the Torres Royal Coin she carried on her. Perhaps Little Death’s strength would only see an increase when she was within a certain range of the coin. Meanwhile, once she was outside this range, her strength would fall to a certain extent.

This would explain why Flaman felt as if Little Death’s strength was being restricted when he fought her. This was because that was indeed the case. If Little Death was outside a certain range of the Torres Royal Coin, her mana pool would fall to the level of the Four Heavenly Kings.

Little Death must know about this restriction as well. She must also know that with her restricted mana, none of the weakened taboos she cast could actually do any harm to Alice, a “Demon King” capable of casting taboos freely. Hence, when she was far from Alice, she decided to stop attacking and defend herself while trying to get closer to Alice, only attacking when her mana had recovered.

Meanwhile, Little Death’s inability to manipulate mana at a precise level was probably her only weakness.

It made sense, though. If Little Death could skillfully control mana on top of having such a frightening mana pool, she’d essentially be a second Demon King. If that were the case, the demons would have had a strength advantage over the humans, and there was no way the demons’ past attempts at invading the human realm would have failed so miserably.

In addition, Alice also noticed that Little Death was quite a cautious person. After all, even though she had already proven her ability to cast taboos, the undead girl still did not stop attacking her. This showed that Little Death still held her identity as the Demon King in suspect.

In that case…

Alice narrowed her eyes and made a decision. After using an Enochian Prism to block the oncoming tide of dark mana, she promptly dashed forward in Little Death’s direction.

“Hm?”

Little Death was stunned. She didn’t think Alice would take the initiative to get close to her—but this was exactly what she wanted. She had used up too much of her mana with that previous attack. Now that Alice was taking the initiative to approach her, it meant that she’d gain more access to the mana in her body.

If Little Death’s body was described as a mana reservoir, then the Torres Royal Coin was a valve switch that controlled this reservoir. Meanwhile, the closer Little Death was to the Torres Royal Coin, the bigger the reservoir’s opening would become. Hence, Alice’s decision to approach Little Death had given Little Death a chance to achieve victory.

A Demon King should have realized this problem already.

Little Death softly chuckled to herself. When she saw Alice approaching her, she couldn’t help but feel disappointed. When Demon Kings fought, they would add all the factors that could be considered in their battle. In Little Death’s opinion, a qualified Demon King should have already noticed the connection between her and the Torres Royal Coin by now and used this feature to defeat her at a distance. This was also the method many Demon Kings had used to defeat her.

However, judging by Alice’s actions, it didn’t seem that she had noticed this point. This situation caused Little Death to sigh inwardly. Although she still hadn’t recognized Alice to be a Demon King, Alice had left a good impression on her during their short interaction just now. Unfortunately…

Seeing that Alice was close to reaching her, Little Death raised her right hand and readied herself to unleash a powerful mana shockwave to defeat Alice. If she released all of the huge amounts of mana stored within her body, even a Demon King would get seriously injured at such a close distance.

However, Little Death’s expression quickly changed as soon as she raised her right hand. This was because she suddenly noticed that even though Alice was already close to reaching her, she still couldn’t access most of the mana in her body. Her mana was like a pool of stagnant water that refused to respond to her will.

Could it be…

Little Death quickly looked behind Alice. Sure enough, her sharp vision spotted the Torres Royal Coin sitting on the ground in the distance.

Little Death realized that she had been tricked. Alice had long since realized the connection between her and the Torres Royal Coin, so the little girl had secretly dropped the coin on the ground while she wasn’t paying attention. Then, Alice had taken the initiative to approach her, causing her to mistakenly assume that she could make use of more of her mana. However, in reality, the Torres Royal Coin did not move any closer to her, so the mana she could access remained in an exhausted state.

Meanwhile, when Alice saw Little Death raising her hand without releasing any mana, she knew that her conjecture was correct. The undead girl indeed possessed a unique connection to the Torres Royal Coin. Although the Torres Royal Coin looked no different than an ordinary coin, it must have some hidden mechanism that allowed it to serve as a limiter for Little Death.

Since normal taboos aren’t enough to convince you, I’ll use something more befitting of a Demon King.

Alice softly chuckled and reached for her right ponytail with her right hand. Then, she retrieved the black hair tie used to tie her hair—at least, that was what Little Death saw. However, what Little Death didn’t know was that this black “hair tie” wasn’t some ordinary hair tie.

If Enochian Prism and Baptism of Lightning weren’t enough to prove that she was the Demon King, a dark-type taboo should be enough to do the trick.

In addition, Alice found that the taboos her panties carried were incredibly rare. At the very least, she still hadn’t seen any of the taboos attached to her panties recorded in any magic book. So, a dark-type panty taboo should be enough to convince Little Death of her identity.

Frenzied Screech!

As soon as Alice activated the Skill attached to the black panties, a terrifying sound wave spread from her right hand, the sound wave spreading across the entire forest in the blink of an eye.

Subsequently, countless leaves still attached to tree branches shattered and fell to the ground. The trees in the forest also looked like they had just been subjected to a thousand cuts. Even the dirt ground was split apart as if it had just been plowed, though the fragments of the falling leaves quickly covered up this plowed surface.

As for Little Death, who had received the sound attack directly, she met an even more miserable fate. In only an instant, Little Death’s body was torn into bloodless pieces of flesh that flew everywhere.

Alice couldn’t help but be stunned when she saw this outcome. She didn’t think Little Death would receive her attack without putting up even the slightest form of defense. After all, Little Death had previously blocked her Baptism of Lightning with that strange glow, which was clearly the product of a defensive spell. So, Alice had expected Little Death to use a similar method to block her taboo this time.
