The Tale of Hero Alice's Social Death - Chapter 292
Chapter 292 – Little White Mice Andusia
When wielding It’s So Short, Alice received a bonus of 5000 Spirit and 7000 Control. This drastically increased her mana sensitivity, so she could clearly tell that mana of four different people were sealed within the dagger.
In other words, Alice could summon four different Dark Guards using Chaos General. Meanwhile, the abilities of these Dark Guards would come from the people from whom the four mana sources originated. Alice guessed that these mana sources came from people thousands of years ago. Moreover, they should be quite powerful individuals since a Demon King had deemed it necessary to store a trace of their mana.
“Let’s see who’s mana is sealed in this thing,” Alice said as she pointed the dagger at an open area and activated the Chaos General skill. Immediately afterward, black mist began to seep out of the dagger’s “blade,” the sight adding a touch of evilness to the weapon. If one could ignore the dagger’s questionable shape, the weapon would indeed look quite domineering.
Under Alice’s control, the black mist that had seeped out of the dagger slowly condensed into four figures in the center of the room. Alice could sense that she had absolute control over these four figures. She could have them do whatever she wanted and retract them whenever she wanted.
“Are these the Demon Guards you mentioned? They look similar to the doll created with Luluna’s Magical Doll,” Andusia commented as she hopped from Alice’s shoulder to one of the black figure’s shoulders. Then, she looked at the black figure and saw that it was in the form of a woman with a tall and lean body. The woman had a relatively inconspicuous facial appearance. If not for her blessed proportions, one would quickly lose sight of her once she mixed into a crowd.
When Andusia saw the woman’s well-endowed chest, she couldn’t help but pat her own flat chest angrily. Magical Girl Hikari was a show mainly targeted toward kids, so Hikari’s character design was made to be childlike and safe for work. Since Andusia’s current body was made to imitate Hikari, it went without saying that her chest was as flat as a board, just like Hikari’s. This situation upset her greatly. After all, although her body before she died wasn’t particularly well-endowed, at least her breasts weren’t non-existent.
“They might look roughly the same, but these Dark Guards are capable of simple cognitive thinking. They can also operate independently if I give them enough mana. They’re much better than the doll created using Luluna’s Magical Doll,” Alice explained as she sensed the connection between her and the four Dark Guards. “Also, Luluna’s Magical Doll can only create a copy of the user. The doll’s strength is also completely dependent on how much mana the user supplies it. In comparison, Chaos General only requires a trace of mana to create a perfect copy of the mana’s owner. The Dark Guards summoned also won’t automatically disappear so long as the dagger has a mana supply to work with.”
“In other words, you just got yourself four more gofers, right?” Andusia nodded. Then, she jumped off the infuriating female body, flew back to Alice’s shoulder, sat down, and said, “Two males and two females. The mana the weapon’s creator stored is evenly split.”
Of the four Dark Guards, two were males, one tall and one short.
In the case of the tall male, he was a tauren warrior with a burly stature and horns on his head. It was obvious that he was a beastkin, and he should be a member of the tauren tribe. As far as Alice knew, some beastkin tribes lived in the demon realm, and the tauren tribe was one of them. Meanwhile, this male tauren should be the strongest tauren of his time.
As for the short male, he had a delicate face and a thin and flimsy body. He wore a white mage’s hat and robe, and a demon tail was growing out of his back, a sign that he was of the demon race. Alice could also feel a vast amount of mana in the short man’s body. Although the man’s mana pool wasn’t at the level of the Four Heavenly Kings, he wasn’t that much worse, either.
As for the two females, similar to the males, one was tall while the other was short. Among them, the short one was a loli with short lavender hair and a pair of demon horns growing out of her head. However, despite her short stature, the loli demon carried a massive hammer on her back.
In the case of the tall female, who was also the female figure whose shoulder Andusia had previously jumped onto, she had an inconspicuous face but an exaggerated figure. She had a pair of demon wings growing out of her back. Alice knew this blessed woman was a magician according to the information she received through her connection with the other party. However, the busty demoness didn’t have outstanding mana. Instead, she wielded a relatively special kind of magic.
Divination. The busty demoness could calculate the fate of her targets through various predictions and apply a random buff or debuff to her targets according to the direction of their fates. Although there was a factor of uncertainty in this magic, if luck was on the woman’s side, she could achieve terrifying effects with her magic.
If it was when Alice had just transmigrated to this world, she might have believed in the authenticity and reliability of this so-called divination magic. However, Alice had already learned about this world’s creation and talked with this world’s God. She knew that fate was something that even Loli Goddess could not control. So, the so-called divination magic was most likely a cover, and the busty demoness’s real ability was most likely to give random buffs and debuffs to people.
Alice guessed that the busty demoness must have been worried that others wouldn’t take her seriously after learning about the randomness of her magic. So, the demoness must have lied and added a “diviner” title for herself, chalking the randomness of her buffs and debuffs up to fate. Moreover, the busty demoness’s bluff must have worked as she not only received the attention of the Demon King at that time, but said Demon King had even stored a portion of her mana into this dagger.
Alice couldn’t help but feel that these past Demon Kings could sometimes be very shrewd. For example, the short-sighted woman who Alice had fought previously had really given her a fright. However, some of them could also be very unreliable, such as Andusia.
“Why are you looking at me?”
Unaware that Alice was inwardly slandering her, Andusia looked down at herself when she noticed the strange look Alice was giving her. However, she couldn’t help but grow confused when she failed to notice anything wrong with herself.
“It’s nothing. Come here.”
After thinking it over, Alice decided not to tell Andusia what she was thinking just now. Instead, she waved for Andusia to come to her.
Although Andusia was still puzzled, she still obediently responded to Alice’s beckoning, jumping off of Alice’s shoulder and landing in Alice’s palm. Of course, even though Andusia had already become very obedient, her obedience still wasn’t at the Milu Rabbit’s level. So, even when she landed in Alice’s right hand, Alice would not receive her weapon information.
However, this wasn’t important. Alice didn’t have Andusia jump into her hand so that she could check the other party’s information.
The next moment, under Alice’s control, the busty demoness pointed her hand at Andusia. Then, the demoness launched a small blast of mana at Andusia, the mana blast hitting Andusia before she could even react.
