PHA - Chapter 378 - It's a Blessing to Suffer

Alice didn't just suffer a shallow cut to her waist. The cut had reached her internal organs, and blood was profusely pouring out of the wound. In fact, had the sword wave gone any deeper, it might have even bisected Alice.

In such a situation, it was only natural for Gunst to think that Alice no longer had any strength to resist. After all, any normal person would suffer problems with their mana flow when their body was severely injured. The chances of Alice being able to continue casting taboos in her current state was minuscule. Even if she could cast a taboo, it would be a simplified version that wouldn't be strong enough to stop any of Gunst's attacks.

"Tsk, don't get so full of yourself. I was just a little careless," Alice said, clicking her tongue. A large part of why she got injured was because of her carelessness.

It was true that Gunst's Rainbow and Aurora were powerful taboos. However, the power of these two taboos wasn't focused on "destruction" but "sharpness" instead. Rather than say that they were taboos focused on mass destruction, they were taboos focused on cutting things.

Take Rainbow's large-scale attack, for example. If it were swapped with Alice's Burning Star, this entire neighborhood would have been reduced to ashes. However, Gunst's Rainbow had only left numerous large cuts in the surrounding streets and buildings. A few of the closer buildings might have collapsed because of these cuts, but the level of destruction caused by Gunst's Rainbow was nowhere near the destruction Alice's Burning Star could have caused.

Meanwhile, it was hard for any defenses to be effective when going up against such a "sharp" taboo. What Alice should have done against Gunst's Aurora was to evade the sword wave rather than rely on her defenses.

—Simply put, Alice was still too lacking in combat experience. This weakness was highlighted once when she previously fought with the Eighth Demon King Miriya Hampar, and it was highlighted again in her current fight with Gunst.

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.
