The Tale of Hero Alice's Social Death (Pantsu Hero Alice) Chapter 420 - How to Quickly End a Battle

Without any resistance, Fugallo ate a punch from Andusia's Dark Hand with his face, the impact instantly shattering Fugallo's nose. Fugallo's nose breaking was also clearly audible, the sound reaching Alice's and Andusia's ears without fail.

Fugallo was fortunate that he was only struck by Andusia's Dark Hand. Because of how weak Dark Hand was as a taboo, it failed to cause any significant damage to Fugallo. All it managed to accomplish was break Fugallo's nose, corrode a portion of Fugallo's face, and send Fugallo flying. Had Fugallo been struck in the face with a stronger taboo, such as Dark Sunburst, he would probably be ready for his funeral right about now.

Unfortunately, with the situation just now, Andusia didn't have any time to gather more mana for a stronger taboo. Had she tried to go for a stronger attack, she definitely wouldn't have achieved as good of a result as she just did. Regardless, the fact that Fugallo got hit squarely in the face by her Dark Hand must mean that Alice's plan worked.

After crashing into the distant ground, Fugallo quickly stood back up. At this time, his face was completely disfigured. Haydn's face originally had a gloomy appearance already. Now that the bridge of his nose was caved in and a large part of his face became corroded and wrinkled by dark mana, his face looked somewhat comical.

"What did you do?!"

Fugallo shouted in a panic. This development was beyond his expectations. He never expected Alice to directly create a Forest Crystal in his body and seal off a portion of his mana. Because of the Forest Crystal, he had lost access to all of the extra mana he gained from possessing the second Demon King's Shadow.

This situation didn't make sense. If Alice wanted to condense a Forest Crystal into his body, she would first have to inject a sufficient amount of mana into his body. However, he was sure he didn't have any physical contact with Alice previously. In that case, since when did Alice inject her mana into his body?

There was also no way Alice had injected her mana into him across a distance. His senses weren't dead. Had Alice pulled such a stunt, he would have noticed it immediately.

"You still haven't noticed it? And to think you are a Demon King."

Alice breathed a sigh of relief. It would seem that the senses of a veteran Demon King weren't flawless. This realization allowed Alice to gain a little confidence. She might not be a match for veteran Demon Kings when it came to combat experience, but when it came to trickery, it turned out that she wasn't completely outclassed. At the very least, the tricks she pulled wouldn't necessarily be noticed by a veteran Demon King.

Unfortunately, Alice failed to sneak enough mana into Fugallo's body. Hence, the Forest Crystal she created could only seal around half of Fugallo's mana.

Even so, this was already enough. Now that Fugallo's strength had reverted to when he had only absorbed one Demon King's Shadow, Alice and Andusia had a chance to defeat him.

Of course,
