Chapter 247: 247

Andusia’s suggestion was indeed viable. With Alice’s current abilities that surpassed the Four Heavenly Kings and humans like Catherine, she could knock the people in the hall unconscious with ease. Unless there was a full-fledged Hero or Demon King among these people, there was no way Alice could lose to any of the people here.

“But…it’s going to be difficult to knock the people here unconscious without alerting other people,” Alice muttered as she turned to look at her surroundings. Currently, the castle’s main hall, second floor, third floor, and outside were filled with people, many among them taking photos and video recordings with their phones. Some of them were even live streaming. So, it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that every inch of Demon King Castle was under surveillance.

At this point, Alice was no longer the greenhorn that she was when she first transmigrated to this world. Back then, she did not understand anything about this world and simply assumed it to be the same as the medieval worlds commonly described in fantasy novels. As a result, she had suffered the education of surveillance cameras twice.

Now that Alice thoroughly understood the capabilities of cameras, she naturally wouldn’t forget to include the tourists’ phones in her consideration. While it might be easy for her to knock these tourists unconscious, in doing so, she would also be exposing herself to these tourists’ phones.

“Is there a taboo that can destroy all nearby phones?”

After pondering for some time and coming up with nothing, Alice turned to Andusia for help.

“Do you think phones existed in my era? Didn’t this contraption get invented only a few decades ago?” Andusia rolled her eyes at Alice. She felt that Alice was clutching at straws. The concept of phones didn’t even exist during her era, so naturally, a taboo meant to target phones wouldn’t exist. “Do these phones run on mana?”

“That’s right. They rely on mana for power and to connect to the internet,” Alice answered. Although she didn’t know why Andusia would suddenly ask such a question, she still answered her obediently. Fortunately, while she might still be learning about this world, she knew a lot more about this world’s modern era than an old antique like Andusia.

Alice had also studied the phone’s principles on the internet before. Although electricity was also used as a power source in this world, most devices, such as mobile phones, used natural and unpolluted mana as their power source. This was because the usage of mana could reduce the number of components a device would need to function.

In addition, mana could be used for many other purposes than just powering devices. For example, it could be used as a medium to connect to the internet.

“That makes things simple. Although I don’t really understand the structure of phones, they’ll stop functioning so long as they lose all of their mana, right?” Andusia said as she clapped her hands. However, because of how close she was to Alice’s face, the sudden clap had given Alice a small fright. “If that’s the case, I have a solution. One of the taboos I know can wipe out all of the mana in the area when used. If you use that taboo, it’ll basically solve your phone problem, right?”

If a mobile phone lost all of its mana, it would indeed lose the ability to continue functioning. However, the problem was that every demon here had a certain degree of strength. They definitely had mana in their bodies. So, they were more than capable of recharging their phones on the spot.

This was also one of the conveniences mobile phones in this world had that mobile phones on Earth did not. So long as mobile phone users had mana in their bodies, they were essentially a walking power bank for their phones. Even if their phones lost access to the ambient mana, users could simply recharge their phones with their mana.

However, when Alice voiced this problem to Andusia, Andusia rolled her eyes and said, “Are you dumb? When I say that the taboo will wipe out all mana in the area, that includes the mana inside everyone’s bodies. Those with average strength would even lose consciousness on the spot. As for those with tougher constitutions, they might be able to resist fainting, but they’ll be powerless without any mana. All you need to do is knock them unconscious with a punch.”

“Is that so?” Alice scratched her head in embarrassment. It was fortunate that she had her hood on, so nobody had managed to notice the blush on her face. “Alright, then. I’ll leave it to you.”

Andusia let out a soft snort at Alice’s words. Then, she narrowed her eyes as she worked the mana in her body. Originally, the mana inside Andusia was like water inside a storage tank, calm and unnoticeable by the people around her. Now, though, her mana had turned into raging waves.

Immediately, everyone close to Alice had turned their attention to her. Evidently, all of them could sense the frightening mana fluctuations coming from Alice’s location.

However, it didn’t matter even if these people noticed the mana fluctuations. When Andusia opened her eyes again, an invisible ripple spread across the entire castle and its surroundings. Then, the demons casting confused gazes at Alice suddenly felt as if they had been deprived of all of their energy, their bodies going limp and collapsing one after another.

In addition, all of the phones within the coverage of Andusia’s taboo went dark instantly, becoming nothing more than glorified metal bricks.

Of course, Andusia’s taboo didn’t actually break everyone’s phones. So long as these phones were charged with mana, they would resume normal functionality again. Though, it was a different story for phones that were dropped on the floor without any cushioning. Such phones might end up with some issues even after they were charged.

“W-What…is going on?”

“My mana suddenly dried up…”

Chaos ensued both inside and outside Demon King Castle. Most of the people affected by Andusia’s taboo instantly lost consciousness after having all of the mana in their bodies removed. As for those who managed to hang on due to their stronger constitutions, they cried out in panic as they lay on the floor.

Unlike the people outside the castle and those on the castle’s second and third floors, those in the main hall knew who exactly was the cause of this situation. While lying on the floor, they struggled to look up at Alice, the only person still standing in the hall, and the origin of the powerful mana fluctuations from just now.

“Sorry. I have some business to do here, so I’ll need you all to take a short nap,” Alice said apologetically. However, as she had used mana to put pressure on her throat, her voice sounded quite strange to the people in the hall.
