Alice quickly realized that her threat this time was effective as she could feel a wave of mana fluctuations coming from the sheet of paper in her hands. She could also see a faint illusory figure appearing above the paper. By the looks of this situation, it would seem that the blonde Demon King was about to show herself and talk to her.

However, the instant Alice subconsciously loosened her grip over the paper's edges, the blonde Demon King immediately grew disobedient, the Soul Mark Scroll seemingly tugged out of Alice's hands by an invisible hand. Then, the paper rapidly folded itself into the shape of a paper crane and hovered outside of Alice's reach.

Subsequently, a miniature rotating star made of flames appeared in Alice's right hand. This was the product of "Burning Star," a taboo she had learned from the March Academy's library.

Battles between Heroes and Demon Kings were mainly about using taboos that best countered each other. Now that the blonde Demon King's soul was attached to a paper crane, it went without saying that the best way to counter the other party was by using a fire-type taboo.

Novel Notes

PHA is going on a hiatus until January 1st, 2023. It's becoming increasingly stressful to translate PHA due to all the unneccessarily elaborate yet unimportant contexts, so I've decided to take a break from PHA and have a go at it again next year.
