Chapter 220 – Alice the Queen of Thorns 2 (2/2)
So, she said that she could buy enough time before he arrived, but in the end, it became like this.
As the unknown epidemic infection spread throughout her people, many people succumbed to death, and some became demonic beings that were controlled through mass hypnotic means.
‘But, it’s too late now…’
Once the infections started, an individual who didn’t die would inevitably transform into the Kazak race.
Of course, she would die at the same time Alice did because of the poison Alice had injected into her body.
So even if someone were to come and defeat these two now, nothing would change.
As Ophelia reached this conclusion and started giving up…
Beep!
The bronze door opened violently, revealing a group of people.
Woohyuk’s party had infiltrated the royal palace to stop Aleister.
Reina, who was tied to a torture device, happily called out his name,
“Woohyuk! You came!”
However, the Elf Queen was already dying.
As Reina’s complexion started getting dark once again,
“It’s been a while, Aleister,” stated Woohyuk.
He summoned Verserios and rushed at Aleister.
Ka-Rang!
A black curtain barrier unfolded, blocking Verserios’ forward movement.
Aleister smiled with a relaxed expression and calmly stated,
“You’ve really become confident after preventing the first catastrophe.”
“Give me the King’s Book!”
“Ah, that’s difficult. It’s something that was hard-earned.”
Aleister was holding the King’s Book in his arms.
As Aleister continued to confront Woohyuk, Alice summoned her minions,
“Kill them all! Everything will be resolved without these obstructors!”
Large Kazak warriors strode toward Woohyuk.
Seeing this, Sieg and Bailey ran and confronted them with their swords.
Slice!
Slice!
Dark, decaying blood sprinkled onto the white marble floor.
When things didn’t go as she expected, Alice stepped forward herself to deal with Woohyuk’s vassals.
“You guys get out of the way!”
Alice’s thorny wings spread out to her sides, creating a fierce crimson swirl around her.
At the same time, a bloody lightning strike struck down from the air!
Sieg and Bailey stepped back for a moment and put up their barrier shields.
“You are Alice the Queen of Thorns? I don’t know what you ate wrong to make you such an uptight bitch, but you’ll die here!”
“I agree. Too many innocent people have died because of you!”
Helena and Maria condemned Alice and chanted divine magic together.
After that, a new white magic circle spread across the messy, blood-filled marble floor, creating a closed isolation barrier.
“Oho… you think you can trap me with a barrier like this?”
Alice laughed out loud and pulled out dozens of scarlet mana spheres from her body.
Afterwards, as the scarlet spheres elongated and spread out in all directions. A strong current flowed through them and shattered the isolation barrier.
“H-How strong are you?”
“Wasn’t it written in your prophetic book?!”
Helena and Maria were thrown into confusion and chanted the holy spell once again.
However, Alice wasn’t planning to leave them alone to do what they wanted.
“There’s no second time, you idiots!”
A crimson sphere quickly stretched towards the two Saintesses!
Seeing this, Ibn Rusud and Roan went forward to protect Helena and Maria.
“She’s much stronger than we thought, no?” Ibn Rusud asked Helena.
“This disgusting girl must have a weakness!” Helena responded angrily.
They had to, in one way or another, deal with Alice themselves.
While they were fighting, Woohyuk faced Aleister.
“Don’t you think that today will be your last?” Woohyuk casually asked.
“I don’t know. There are still various stages that are awaiting my presence,” Aleister responded just as leisurely.
As Aleister lifted up his staff, black blade-like wind blew from all over and rushed toward Woohyuk.
Sa-Ah~!
To prevent the attack, Woohyuk put Verserios on the floor and created a black vortex around him.
Go-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
The black blade-like wind lost its shape and was extinguished by the black vortex.
When a brief gap emerged, Woohyuk brought out Lemegeton and summoned all the Demon Kings he had sealed inside.
Afterwards, an intense bombardment was aimed at Aleister…
Kwa-Kwa-Kwa-Kwa-Kwang!
Aleister spread a defensive barrier around him with an amused expression.
“Do you really think you can kill me here? It’s still impossible for you.”
“Well, I won’t know until I try.”
Woohyuk pulled out the Absorber Trigger and started Black Demolition.
Chi-Ji-Ji-Ji!
A black current swirled violently within the sphere-shaped barrier.
However, Aleister reached out with his hand as if he had to deal with something trifling.
“Have you forgotten the fact that I created that artifact?”
“Everyone knows,” Woohyuk replied as he pulled out Lilith’s Unholy Grail.
Aleister, seeing the grail, took a few steps back.
“That’s?”
“It’s an artifact Lilith created to crack the system. I can use this to neutralize your fancy abilities.”
Aleister was part of Lilith’s Cult.
When Woohyuk finished speaking,
Swah~!
