The Tale of Hero Alice's Social Death (Pantsu Hero Alice) Chapter 266 - The Bane of Myopia

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.
