The Tale of Hero Alice's Social Death - Chapter 380

Chapter 380 – Nobody Understands My Panties

Densely packed sword waves burst forth from Gunst’s body like the fragments of a fragmentation grenade, instantly worsening the cracks that covered the street. Even the rubbles of the collapsed buildings nearby were further reduced in size.

Compared to the fragments of a fragmentation grenade, Gunst’s sword waves were naturally much more frightening. They were infused with Gunst’s mana, which maximized their sharpness property, so they could cut through steel like a hot knife through butter. They could even cut through the defenses of a defensive taboo. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration at all to regard them as unstoppable.

At such a close distance, Gunst felt that even if Alice used Enochian Prism again, some of his sword waves would still hit her. However, just when he thought he had successfully killed the bastard pressing his head into the ground, he suddenly realized that reality had seemingly turned out different from his imagination. This was because the furry paw on his head remained firmly latched, and the force it applied on his head did not weaken in the slightest.

This… How is this possible?

An expression of disbelief appeared on Gunst’s head. Logically, even a dragon would have suffered bone-deep wounds if they received Rainbow at point-blank range. Yet, he found that not only did Alice not suffer any damage from Rainbow, but her body didn’t even budge in the slightest! She had thoroughly ignored his sword waves that could theoretically cut even taboos!

“I already know how troublesome your sword waves can be, so do you honestly think I would get close to you without any preparations?”

Alice’s voice came from above Gunst. Immediately afterward, Gunst could feel additional force being applied to the claws digging into his scalp. Then, he felt Alice pulling him up before throwing him aside.

Following this action, Gunst could feel a stream of mana flowing into his body. Then, this mana formed a green hexahedron around the source of his mana, isolating him from what little mana he had left in his body.

Forest Crystal. This taboo wasn’t limited to just creating barriers to restrict physical objects. It could also be used to restrict mana. Hence, like what she did to Andusia on their first encounter, Alice used Forest Crystal to seal Gunst’s access to mana as well.

If it was at the start of their battle, it would have been a challenge for Alice to use Forest Crystal to imprison Gunst’s mana source. However, now that Gunst had hardly any mana remaining, combined with the injuries weakening his mental state, Alice could seal his mana with little resistance.

When Gunst sensed his mana becoming no different than a pool of stagnant water, he knew he had lost. Although he didn’t know why Alice chose to seal his mana instead of ending his life with an offensive taboo to the head, it didn’t change the fact that he had lost—thoroughly, at that.

After letting his defeat sink into his mind, Gunst lifted his head to look at Alice. Because of the point-blank Rainbow, even though Alice’s body remained intact, her clothes were cut at numerous locations. This included her hat. Hence, Gunst could now see what Alice actually looked like.

“You are…the Gryffin Kingdom’s Princess Alice?”

However, Gunst never thought that the girl who had beaten him black and blue was actually one of the Gryffin Kingdom’s princesses. This revelation utterly dumbfounded him.

Moreover, what confused Gunst, even more, was that Alice was currently hugging a Milu Rabbit and a box in her left arm, seemingly trying to protect them. Meanwhile, held in her right hand was a pair of white panties that radiated a dazzling sacred radiance.

Alice, who was bathed in the holy light, looked like a holy being at first glance. However, Gunst’s mind came to a pause when he saw that the source of this holy light was a pair of white panties.

…

Indeed. The reason Alice could ignore Gunst’s Rainbow even though she had received it at point-blank range was because of the “Absolute Defense” skill that came attached with the white panties. As Gunst’s Rainbow was predominantly a sword wave, it was regarded as a physical attack, and Absolute Defense countered it perfectly. In the end, all Gunst’s attack did was leave a few red marks on Alice’s body.

Fortunately, even though Alice’s clothes suffered numerous cuts from Gunst’s sword waves, they did not fall apart. Although the tattered clothes made Alice look like a beggar, they continued serving their purpose, preventing the exposure of Alice’s privates.

Of course, as Absolute Defense only took effect on Alice’s physical body, Alice had quickly retrieved the Milu Rabbit from under her skirt before Gunst had finished executing his Rainbow. Then, she shielded the Milu Rabbit and the box holding the Hikari figurine in her embrace. Otherwise, the Milu Rabbit and the figurine would have definitely been shredded by the sword waves.

When Alice saw the look of confusion on Gunst’s face, she could more or less guess his current mood. After all, the large amount of light mana pouring out of her right hand was a clear tell of her identity. Apart from the Hero, no other existence in this world could have so much light mana.

In reality, though, what shocked Gunst the most was actually the panties in Alice’s right hand. No matter how he racked his mind, he simply couldn’t figure out the relation between “a panty-wielding girl” and “the Hero.”
