The Tale of Hero Alice's Social Death Chapter 299

“I've brought the item you asked us to find, Lady Alice.”

One early morning, Alice received a visit from Catherine in her dormitory, the latter holding a box protected by several magic locks.

It had been several days since Alice had returned from the demon realm, and only a week was left until the comic convention in the Rhine Kingdom began. Aside from preparing for her trip, Alice had nothing better to do during this period. So, to not waste time, she decided to use her authority as the Hero.

Specifically, Alice had Catherine, the Royal Guard Captain, visit one of the locations she marked previously and retrieve the object that carried a trace of the Demon King's Power's aura. As this object was situated within the Gryffin Kingdom's borders, Catherine should be able to retrieve it without causing a commotion as Alice did in Bang Bang City.

Of course, Catherine and the people she decided to enlist for the task naturally couldn't locate the object as efficiently as Alice could since they lacked the ability to sense the Demon King's Power's aura. As a result, even with numerous people searching for the item, it still took them several days to find it. Moreover, judging by the Demon King's Power's aura radiating from the box Catherine carried, it was evident that they had found the object Alice was looking for.

“You found it already? That's a lot quicker than I expected.”

Alice hurriedly got out of bed. She initially thought it would take over a month for Catherine and her people, who couldn't sense the Demon King's Power, to locate the target object. She wouldn't even be surprised if they failed to find it. What she didn't expect was for them to find it in only a few days.

“It is our duty to assist the Hero. You are our only hope against the Demon King, after all,” Catherine said, strict as always. She dared not overstep her boundaries when it came to dealing with Alice. “But this item… How should I say it… I'm not exactly sure if it's the item you are looking for. After all, it looks just like…”

Speaking up to this point, a rare blush appeared on Catherine's face. Evidently, whatever was inside the box was enough to cause even someone as strict as Catherine to feel embarrassed.

Alice's heart thumped when she saw Catherine's expression. As soon as she saw this reaction, she became 80% certain that the item inside the box was another sex toy-shaped weapon made by a Demon King…

“Cough, cough. The thing inside might have a strange appearance, but it has a significant origin,” Alice said. To avoid giving Catherine a strange impression of herself, she decided that it was necessary to give Catherine an explanation. So, while undoing the magic locks placed on the box in Catherine's hands, she said, “You should know that Demon Kings gain their strength from the Demon King's Power, right?”

“Yes, I know.”

Catherine's eyes glowed with excitement when she heard Alice's words, realizing that the Hero was seemingly about to reveal some important information on Demon Kings. Heroes of past generations were all capable of conversing with God. So, Heroes would often receive information related to the Demon King and Demon King's Power, which would then be shared with and passed down by people of the past.

Hence, upon realizing that Alice was seemingly about to share some secrets related to the Demon Kings with her, Catherine promptly raised her spirits and focused her mind, intending to memorize every word Alice said. After all, this information might allow humans to learn more about Demon Kings.

“The Demon King's Power might have created the Demon Kings, but none of these Demon Kings are actually willing to become the Demon King's Power's puppet. So, after they achieved their peak strength, they would start to target the Demon King's Power within their bodies,” Alice said as she opened the box, revealing an item tightly wrapped in a piece of magic cloth. “Moreover, almost every Demon King has successfully stolen a part of the Demon King's Power's essence.”

“I see. That is true. According to historical records, every past Demon King is known to have extreme pride. Even the overly-cautious Seventh Demon King will never tolerate insults directed to him,” Catherine said, nodding in agreement. Alice's description of the past Demon Kings matched the description mentioned in historical records. Meanwhile, with how prideful these Demon Kings were, there was no way they'd be willing to become someone's pawn. “Then, what happens after they steal a portion of the Demon King's Power's essence?”

“They might have stolen some of the Demon King's Power's essence, but the Demon King's Power will only be effective toward individuals it has acknowledged. So, even if the stolen essence is implanted into another person's body, nothing will happen,” Alice continued her explanation as she struggled to take apart the thick magic cloth. “Hence, these Demon Kings decided to turn this stolen essence into tools that could boost their combat capabilities.”

“I see. So you're saying that these Demon Kings will use the tools they created with the Demon King's Power's essence and wear them?” Catherine's expression suddenly turned strange when she heard Alice's explanation. “Then…could the item stored in this box be one of these tools?”

“That's right. That is indeed the case,” Alice said, nodding as she finally managed to untangle the chaotically tangled cloth and take out the weapon stored inside.

Sure enough, her guess was on the mark. This time, the weapon was probably meant to be akin to a barbed whip. However, the Demon King responsible for making it had obviously failed to gauge the amount of essence they were supposed to use for each section of the whip. As a result, the whip came out much shorter than intended. In addition, the Demon King must have also messed up big time during the shaping process, so much so that the supposedly barbed sections of the whip had turned into spheres of irregular sizes…

In the sex toy industry, this item would be called anal beads.
