The Tale of Hero Alice's Social Death Chapter 316

The combination of blinding light and a tremendous amount of mana instantly caused Mador to think of one person. This person was naturally the enemy of the demon race—the Hero.

The proliferation of the human realm's Hero novels in the demon realm in recent times allowed many demons to learn more about the culture surrounding the Hero. Some young demons have even made reading Hero novels into a hobby.

However, most demons still couldn't bring themselves to like the Hero. After all, the Hero was the existence standing in the demons' way from acquiring a better living environment. Even though they knew that reason wasn't on their side, nobody would care about that when the problem involved their living environment.

Although Alice's appearance was completely different from the Hero's appearance shared on the internet, there was no way to fake this tremendous amount of light mana. So, Mador guessed that Alice must have used some method to falsify her appearance into that of a muscular man with a beautiful face.

Mador's body began to tremble when she guessed Alice might be the Hero. She wouldn't have been so afraid if she had merely learned that Alice was the Hero. However, the problem was that this “Hero” knew about her identity as a demon. This was a severe problem.

If a demon spy working undercover in a human kingdom got discovered by the Hero, Mador didn't even dare to imagine what would happen. Although Heroes historically had good reputations and were people with clean souls chosen by God, the problem was that this reputation was relative.

For the humans that were receiving the Hero's protection, they would naturally view the Hero as a perfect and excellent existence. However, it was a different story for the demons. Although the Hero wouldn't slaughter innocent demons, the Hero would never show mercy toward demons that would threaten the human realm's peace.

In that case, would the Hero spare her, a demon spy who had infiltrated the Rhine Kingdom's Royal Magic Tower, which was treated just as important as a military base?

Mador felt that the answer would be a definitive no. As a spy working undercover in the Royal Magic Tower, her job was to collect all information available in the tower and wait for the Hero's potential arrival. After all, the Hero needed to learn various taboos in preparation for his inevitable fight with the Demon King. Meanwhile, the human kingdoms' best magic academies would naturally be the Hero's first pick.

However, Mador never imagined that the Hero would actually appear in the Royal Magic Tower, much less expose her real identity shortly after arriving. Moreover, the Hero had even exposed her in person. This development put her in a very difficult situation.

Although Mador didn't know why the Hero didn't choose to expose her in front of others, that wasn't important. What was more important for her to do now would be to resist. If she didn't resist, it was highly likely that she wouldn't live to see tomorrow.

Mador knew that she definitely wouldn't be a match for the Hero. So, she never thought of fighting the Hero at all. Instead, only one thought came to her mind—escape! Only if she could successfully escape the Royal Magic Tower would anything else matter. Meanwhile, to accomplish this, she would first need to use an attack to draw the Hero's attention.

“A small problem came up just now. I'll show you the proof right away…”

Alice still wasn't aware of the thoughts Mador had gone through in her mind as she was busy looking into her pouch in search of a pair of black panties. However, before she could grab the panties out of the pouch, a gust of wind rushed at her, causing her hair to flutter.

“Hm?”

Alice's eyes narrowed, her senses telling her that something was amiss. Although her current body's parameters hadn't reached a level where she could rival full-fledged Heroes and Demon Kings yet, she had still reached a level where she could cast weakened versions of taboos already. Hence, she possessed senses and reactions far superior to the average person.

Meanwhile, the instant she felt the wind blowing against her hair, she swiftly tapped her feet against the ground and constructed a translucent golden prism around her.

This barrier was the product of none other than Enochian Prism, the multi-purpose defensive taboo Alice had learned.

The next moment, an invisible power struck the golden barrier, causing it to tremble for a moment. However, the invisible power didn't cause the barrier's glow to darken even in the slightest, let alone crack it. Evidently, the invisible attack didn't carry enough power to break Alice's weakened version of Enochian Prism.

“A psychic attack? What a crude way of using psychic power.”

Alice quickly realized what she had just been attacked with. She was very familiar with the invisible power that had struck her barrier. It was none other than psychic power, a product of combining mana with spirit. However, compared to the psychic power Alice cultivated using Psychokinesis Transcendence, Mador's psychic power was much cruder. Mador had done a very poor job balancing the amount of mana and spirit she used.

It wasn't surprising, though. Psychokinesis Transcendence was a taboo that had extremely precise and complex usage requirements. It wasn't something the average person could learn. So, the psychic power nurtured with it would naturally be superior to the average psychic power.

Anyway, back to Mador. It wasn't outside Mador's expectations that Alice would come out of her attack unscathed. After crudely sending a blast of psychic power at Alice, Mador promptly ran in the other direction of the corridor.

With Mador's understanding of the Royal Magic Tower's layout, Alice was certain that so long as she let Mador out of her sight for even a moment, she would have no more opportunities to find the demoness again. Hence, she naturally couldn't let Mador escape.

Mador didn't know what action Alice would take. After frantically running for a short moment, she turned her gaze to a vent at the end of the corridor. Her immediate goal was to flee into this vent. Once she got into the vent system, she could easily travel to any part of the Royal Magic Tower. Even escaping out of the Royal Magic Tower wouldn't be out of the question.

Although escaping via the vents was somewhat embarrassing, Mador couldn't care less about her image right now. The Hero had already learned of her identity as a demon. The Royal Magic Tower's authorities might also know about it already. So, she naturally couldn't swagger her way out of the Royal Magic Tower.

However, just as Mador was about to reach the vent, a strong gust of wind came down on her from above. Then, under her panicked gaze, an invisible power smashed into the floor in front of her, separating her from the vent.

Although Mador didn't see what had just smashed into the floor before her, the large claw print that had formed on the shattered floor told her everything she needed to know.

Dragon's Shadow…

Thanks to her wealth of knowledge, Mador quickly realized what spell Alice had just used to stop her advance, and she couldn't help but gulp anxiously and look up in disbelief. Although she couldn't see what was above her, her experience as a psychic magician allowed her to quickly discern that there was an invisible dragon composed of psychic power directly above her.

A Dragon's Shadow activated with psychic power… Such a thing is actually possible?
