The Tale of Hero Alice’s Social Death

Chapter 264: You've Changed, Milu Rabbit

It went without saying that Alice would save the Milu Rabbit.

Alice might typically use the Milu Rabbit to smash things, but it was the first companion she had made after transmigrating to this world. It had also stayed with her this entire time, so she had already grown quite attached to it. Honestly, she might even feel a little unaccustomed without the Milu Rabbit tied to her waist.

Moreover, while this blonde Demon King might not be able to unleash any strength after occupying the Milu Rabbit's body, the woman was someone who harbored malicious intent toward Alice. She was Alice's enemy.

On one side, there was the Milu Rabbit that had accompanied Alice for a long time. On the other side, there was a stranger Alice had never met. It was obvious which side Alice's scale would lean toward. Not to mention, Alice already had Andusia to provide her with information on the Demon Kings. So, this blonde Demon King didn't even have the value of being an information provider.

However, even though Alice had already decided to save the Milu Rabbit, it still wasn't the right time for her to make a move.

While learning Consciousness Transformation from Luna, Alice had also learned some basic knowledge regarding spirit magic. For example, the best time to interrupt a spirit magician from casting a spell was when they had thoroughly spread out their spirit and reached the peak of their mana channeling. If she struck at that time, not only would she interrupt the spellcasting, but she could also maximize the damage she caused to the other party's spirit.

After Alice floated her spirit up to the blonde Demon King's back, she suppressed her presence and observed the situation. Meanwhile, the other party was so focused on casting her spirit magic on the Milu Rabbit that she had failed to notice that there was another presence behind her.

Meanwhile, under the influence of the blonde Demon King's magic, the Milu Rabbit's spirit also began to weaken. Seeing this situation caused Alice to feel a little guilty.

Personally, Alice wanted nothing more than to take action right now. However, if she were to act now, she might fail to interrupt the blonde Demon King's spellcasting completely. If that happened, her actions would only do the Milu Rabbit more harm than good. Hence, she had no choice but to continue resisting her desire to act and wait for the best time to act.

Fortunately, Alice didn't have to wait very long as she soon felt the blonde Demon King's spiritual fluctuations had peaked and started showing signs of contracting. The other party appeared to be in an even greater hurry than she was.

It made sense when Alice thought about it. The other party had waited for at least a thousand years to come across a body that met her requirements. It'd be strange if she wasn't in a hurry.

After letting out a silent chuckle, Alice promptly cast the only spirit spell she had learned from LunaConsciousness Transformation.

It was fortunate that Luna had realized that Alice didn't have the patience to learn about spirit magic thoroughly. Hence, she had taught Alice the Consciousness Transformation taboo, a spell that could be used for a variety of purposes. Aside from modifying someone's memories, the taboo could also be used to launch a spiritual blast.

Although Alice didn't have enough mana to cast a perfect Consciousness Transformation, it didn't really matter since the blonde Demon King was only a soul right now. The other party didn't have any mana flowing within her soul, and the mana she used to steal the Milu Rabbit's body was the little bit of mana sealed within her Spiritual Realm.

Without knowing that Alice was behind her, the blonde Demon King invested practically all of the mana remaining in her Spiritual Realm to steal the Milu Rabbit's body. She did not reserve any mana to protect herself from an ambush from behind. Hence, Alice's spiritual blast had landed squarely on the blonde Demon King's unprotected soul.

"What?!"

The blonde Demon King let out an astonished cry when she sensed the spiritual blast hitting her soul. Unfortunately, her soul had no means of defense right now, so it quickly destabilized under Alice's gaze. In addition, her spread-out spirit shuddered and deflated like a punctured balloon, the mana she gathered flowing outwards frantically and sending Alice's and the Milu Rabbit's spirits flying.

A moment later, the blonde Demon King's Spiritual Realm also destabilized. Then, Alice only heard a shrill cry from the Demon King's soul before her vision darkened, and she found her spirit back in her body in the outside world.

At this time, the Spiritual Realm taboo book Alice previously held was already lying on the floor. By the looks of it, her hands had let go of the book after her spirit was dragged into the blonde Demon King's Spiritual Realm.

Right, the Milu Rabbit.

After sensing that the Spiritual Realm hidden in the book was on the brink of collapse, Alice quickly turned her attention to the Milu Rabbit. Immediately, she untied the Milu Rabbit from her waist and put it on the experiment table. Then, she gave it a few hard taps on the head to try and wake it up.

The toughness of the Milu Rabbit's cranium had already been developed to a significant extent. Alice could also perfectly control her strength after all the training she had done. So, even though she possessed physical strength much greater than the average person, she could ensure that she woke up the Milu Rabbit without hurting it.

Meanwhile, Alice's decision to use physical force was the right move as the Milu Rabbit quickly regained consciousness after only a few taps. Only, to Alice's surprise, the Milu Rabbit didn't try to knock itself unconscious after opening its eyes and seeing her. On the contrary, it had approached her and rubbed its head against her hand.

Alice was stunned by this situation. She grew a little worried, thinking that the blonde Demon King's actions had damaged the Milu Rabbit's brain. After all, unlike Living Wood, the Milu Rabbit's body could not adapt its characteristics to match the soul that inhabited it. There was no way the Milu Rabbit's simple mind could endure the complex thinking ability of a human. Hence, Alice worried that the Milu Rabbit's brain might be damaged.

Fortunately, while it might seem like the Milu Rabbit had suffered some brain damage, it wasn't to the point where it became a vegetable. Moreover, aside from the Milu Rabbit's looking a little unstable, Alice failed to find any obvious injuries to its spirit.

"But it feels a little strange to see you not try to ram yourself unconscious," Alice muttered as she lifted the Milu Rabbit and looked it in the eye. "Or has that Demon King possessed your body already?"
