The Tale of Hero Alice's Social Death - Chapter 422

Chapter 422 – At the End of the Day, Panties Will Save the Day

“???”

Andusia was utterly dumbfounded, her mind failing to understand Alice’s motives. It should be known that they were in the middle of a tense fight with Fugallo. Yet, in this stressful moment, Alice had suddenly lifted her skirt…

“What are you doing?!” Andusia shouted in disbelief.

“Don’t ask! This is our only way out! Just keep him busy for me for a moment!” Alice responded.

Alice was similarly frustrated by this situation. She wouldn’t have wanted to strip her panties in the middle of an intense battle if they weren’t out of options.

“Tsk. I hope you’re not joking with me.”

Andusia was aware that Alice had some kind of special ability. For example, she could achieve an astounding invisibility effect using seemingly ordinary magic robes. However, Andusia did not know that Alice could turn panties into Artifacts, so she was naturally confused by Alice’s actions.

But even if Andusia was confused, she had no choice but to put her faith in Alice. After all, she knew that with her and Alice’s current strength, there was no way they could defeat Fugallo. Although the reverse was also true, Fugallo could afford to wait. So long as he could drag the battle out until the next Demon King’s Shadow formed, it would be the end of the line for her and Alice.

Hence, they urgently needed a way to break the stalemate.

However, despite Andusia’s decision to trust Alice, it was still a big ask for Andusia to fend against Fugallo’s attacks all by herself. As soon as Andusia finished speaking, a powerful gust of wind struck the Chaos Barrier protecting her and Alice. Meanwhile, in only an instant, visible cracks had already formed on the colorful barrier.

Originally, if Alice had combined her Enochian Prism with Andusia’s Chaos Barrier, the two defensive taboos could have stopped Fugallo’s wind attack perfectly. However, now that Alice was busy stripping her panties, Andusia was left without support, and her Chaos Barrier shattered after putting up resistance for only a moment.

To make matters worse, Andusia couldn’t evade the remainder of Fugallo’s wind attack in consideration of Alice. So, she had no choice but to clench her teeth and receive the attack on her body.

Immediately, Andusia could feel the cracks on her body worsening. If she were to receive two more such attacks, her body would most likely shatter on the spot. And should that happen, her soul would also lose its container.

This fight was a good example of how Heroes and Demon Kings usually fought. They would trade taboos one after another and search for opportunities to achieve victory during these exchanges. It might seem like a crude way of fighting, but it was the most suitable way to fight for individuals with extraordinary strength. In front of absolute power, there was little meaning in relying on complex techniques.

Fortunately, Andusia didn’t need to take another hit as Alice was already done with her preparations. After all, she didn’t need much time to take off the panties she wore. Had Alice chosen to reach for the panties in the pouch instead, she would have most likely needed more time to get a pair of panties.

“Andusia! Move out of the way!”

Immediately, a blinding white light exploded from Alice’s right hand. Even with her back facing Alice, Andusia could still see the bright light illuminating the surroundings. As for Fugallo, who was facing Alice directly, he had a much more miserable time. Because he wasn’t prepared for the sudden burst of light, his eyes were momentarily dazzled by it, and he had to narrow his eyes to alleviate his suffering.

…

It was a standard pair of white panties. Although it was simple in design, it was very useful. After seeing Andusia flying into the air and out of her way, Alice promptly raised her right hand toward Fugallo. Immediately afterward, a blazing fireball wrapped in holy light flew toward Fugallo.

By now, Fugallo had already recovered some of his vision, so he could see the fireball flying toward him. He also recognized the fireball right away. It was none other than the Burning Star that Alice had used multiple times previously.

However, because Fugallo had all of his attention on Andusia just now, he didn’t see Alice’s action of stripping her panties before casting Burning Star. So, when he saw this familiar taboo, he simply snorted and said:

“And here I thought you were preparing a special move. In the end, you’re still using the same taboo. Haven’t you learned that this move is useless against me?”

In terms of individual strength, Fugallo was stronger than Alice and Andusia. Hence, Fugallo was confident he could perfectly stop any taboos cast by Alice. Immediately, he used the gathered mana next to him to create a multi-colored barrier in the approaching Burning Star’s path.

Like Andusia, Fugallo had chosen to use Chaos Barrier to defend himself. However, because Fugallo’s mana was stronger than Andusia’s, the size and defensive power of his Chaos Barrier were stronger than Andusia’s. With his Chaos Barrier’s defensive power, it should be more than enough to stop Alice’s Burning Star.

Meanwhile, what happened next went according to Fugallo’s thoughts. The instant Alice’s Burning Star smashed into his Chaos Barrier, it had indeed created an explosion that overturned the surrounding land. However, even after Alice’s Burning Star dissipated, Fugallo’s Chaos Barrier remained standing. Although the barrier had gained a few visible cracks, it was under no threat of breaking.

However, before Fugallo could celebrate his victory, his expression suddenly turned serious. This was because he noticed that after Alice’s Burning Star dissipated, something else had appeared in its place.

This “something” was a ball of incandescent light. Because it was hidden within the Burning Star, Fugallo had failed to notice its presence right away. However, after the Burning Star dissipated, the ball of incandescent light quickly made its presence known.

“Fuck…!”
