The Tale of Hero Alice’s Social Death

I hope they'll make it in time, Chris inwardly prayed as he looked at the distant mansion district through his office window.

However, even though Chris had already told Catherine, the captain of the kingdom's Royal Guards, to head over there as soon as possible, he wasn't confident she could be of any use.
According to historical records, when the Hero and Demon King fought, almost nobody could intervene in their fight.

Although Catherine already possessed brilliant strength and leadership capabilities despite being only in her twenties, if the opponent she faced was the Hero…

Just when Chris was worried about Alice's situation, he suddenly had an inexplicable urge to vomit.
Specifically, he felt as if something was trying to escape his body.

“…”

Chris's complexion turned pale.
Although he didn't know why he suddenly got the urge to vomit, it was already too late for him to run to the toilet.
Leaning down, he subconsciously opened his mouth and puked.

However, to Chris's horror, what came out of his mouth wasn't disgusting digested products.
Instead, it was a black mass that had a muddy consistency.

What is this?!

After spitting this black mass out of his mouth, Chris stumbled back in shock and horror.
However, before he could figure out what had just happened, the black sludge-like mass suddenly shot into the air and smashed through the window.
Then, it flew straight toward the Gem Mansion District.

Could it be…

Chris was a little stunned when he saw where the black mass was flying toward.
Then, he looked down at his right hand and quickly checked his mind using mind magic.

—Sure enough, his originally distorted mental state was gradually recovering.

It should be known that he had previously tried many times to return his mind to a normal state.
However, all of the methods he used were ineffective.
Yet, now, after vomiting that black sludge out of his body, his mind had started returning to normal.

After thinking for a moment, Chris's expression turned ugly as he realized what was going on.

The Demon King's Power… Could it be that the Demon King's Power didn't choose me and that someone had forcibly planted it within me instead?

After figuring out this point, Chris couldn't help but look toward the distance.
He finally understood why Alice the Hero would need to release such a burst of power.
After all, if her opponent was merely a mortal, she could probably win the fight even if she simply relied on brute strength.
She would not need to use a powerful move that could light up a section of the city.

However, it was a different story if Alice's opponent was the Demon King.

Sure enough, only the Hero can solve my problem.

Chris sighed ruefully when he sensed that his mental state had made a full recovery.

“Since you said so…”

The Loli Goddess's actions indeed caught Alice by surprise.
However, since the Loli Goddess was willing to supply her with panties, Alice naturally had to try and see if she could drop the Demon King's Power.

Honestly, although the Loli Goddess was willing to supply her with a drawer of panties, Alice still felt that her chances of succeeding were slim.
After all, the Demon King's Power differed from the Demon King.
It had no reason to fight her to the death.

More precisely, the Demon King's Power had no intentions of fighting her at all.
After all, it was already in the midst of flying away right now.

“Soul Strike!”

Probably because of her anxiety, Alice had disregarded her embarrassment and shouted the name of the pink panties' skill.
Though, her reputation was a low price to pay if she could destroy the Demon King's Power.

Immediately after Alice activated Soul Strike, an invisible force spread out from her body.
Although Soul Strike was a mental attack, it was so powerful that it even possessed obvious physical properties.

Meanwhile, since the Soul Strike's priority target was the Demon King's Power, the invisible force moved straight toward the black sphere in the air.
Then, when the invisible force collided with the black sphere, Alice saw the black sphere wobble violently like a water balloon.

Unfortunately, Soul Strike's destructive power was still far from enough to destroy the Demon King's Power.
Perhaps, just like the Loli Goddess mentioned, it would take several days of consecutive bombardment using taboos to destroy the Demon King's Power.

To make matters worse, after getting hit by Soul Strike, the Demon King's Power had ramped up its flying speed, seemingly becoming even more intent on leaving this place.

Seeing this, Alice gritted her teeth and shouted at the Loli Goddess through her mind:

“White Hair, do you have any underwear with blue stripes?!”

“Stop calling me White Hair!”

The Loli Goddess's exasperated voice echoed in Alice's mind.
However, despite the Loli Goddess's angry retort, Alice quickly felt something appearing in her left hand.
Then, looking down, she found that it was indeed a pair of blue-striped panties.

“Why did you specify blue stripes? Is there any significance?” the Loli Goddess asked after handing over the panties.
Although she knew that Alice was capable of releasing taboos using panties, she wasn't aware of the exact abilities of Alice's right hand.

“Although I still think our chances are slim, I have no choice but to try this,” Alice replied helplessly as she placed the blue-striped panties into her right hand.

She chose blue-striped panties because she had previously touched blue-striped panties when she was at the Gryffin Church, so she knew what kind of effects blue-striped panties would give her.

It was also that incident that got her exposed as the “Hero.”
