Alice felt a sense of foreboding without any clear reason, and she immediately produced an item in the shape of candy that allowed her to instantly cast tier S+ magic without waiting.

The candy was the [Origin Cash Item] that could make the activation time of tier S+ magic instant.

"Alice-sama, are you sure you want to use such a precious item to defeat low-level monsters like these?"

"Arina... I honestly don't want to do it, but I have to do this to prevent something bad from happening."

"All right, I understand, Alice-sama."

Arina sensed that Alice was willing to sacrifice her precious item because she had a much larger goal ahead. So, she wanted to end this battle quickly and avoid drawing the attention of the enemy.

Alice immediately consumed the candy and raised both of her hands.

[MAXIMA PURIFY MAGIC: ATOMIC EXPLOSION!]

A massive explosion erupted, destroying the Golden Maneki Neko statue that had previously imprisoned the True Abyssal Dragon Lord. However, the explosion didn't have a significant impact as most of it was absorbed by the Maneki Neko, especially since the epicenter was inside the Maneki Neko.

Fragments of the Golden Maneki Neko were scattered in all directions, and the explosion still created shockwaves and earthquakes that could be felt quite far away.

The current explosion was about 8 times smaller than the previous hydrogen explosion, which had been truly massive and destructive. Alice didn't add much meta-magic because it would deplete her mana.

"Ugh!"

Alice spat out blood from her mouth, staining her helmet. Her body felt weak and sick as her mana had been drained rapidly.

"Damn..."

Although Alice could use [Cash Item] to instantly restore her mana, it wasn't the best solution because it wasn't an emergency. She would only use [Cash Item] if her condition became urgent.

In her previous world, Alice had even sacrificed part of her daily food intake to buy [Cash Items], and she remembered those times as a period of struggle. Before reincarnation, Alice was just an ordinary person, not wealthy or holding a high position, so she had to sacrifice her savings and salary to buy items in the Monsterland game.

The previous explosion left behind a thick and large cloud of smoke, but Alice felt that the True Abyssal Dragon Lord was still alive despite being severely injured.

"Alice-sama, allow me to check-"

Before Arina could finish speaking, three spears shot at high speed, each aimed at Alice, Arina, and White Fox. Arina immediately wielded her fencing weapon to deflect the spear attacks, and White Fox used a crystal wall to block the spears.

One of the spears heading toward Alice was quite different from the other two, as it emitted a very intense aura.

Alice wanted to use a skill to defend herself, but suddenly, the spear transformed into a humanoid dragon, startling Alice. The humanoid dragon was the transformed True Abyssal Dragon Lord.

"What-"

TADL immediately struck Alice with tremendous force, but Alice quickly used both of her arms to fend off TADL's attack. However, TADL's strike was so powerful that it sent Alice flying and crashing hard into the ground.

"Akkkhhhh!!!!!"

Alice felt considerable pain as she hit the ground and even coughed. The impact on Alice was truly severe.

Arina remembered that there was a 1% chance that when the True Abyssal Dragon Lord ran out of HP, it could transform into a humanoid form and regain 3% of its HP. However, this HP would decrease by 0.1% per second.

This was a secret skill of the True Abyssal Dragon Lord known only to the developers, as the developers had added this skill on a whim due to its extremely low probability. There had never been any reports of TADL transforming into a humanoid form in the Monsterland game.

The name of this skill was,

[Hidden Origin Skill: True Abyssal Dragon Lord Humanoid Form]

Since Arina was an NPC or non-player character, she knew that TADL had a 1% chance of transforming into a humanoid form, but she truly did not expect it to happen.

Arina looked down, specifically at Alice who had just crashed into the ground, and also at TADL, who followed Alice to launch a further attack. Arina was genuinely angry now and wanted to defeat TADL.

"This creature dares to harm Alice-sama,"

Arina intended to use her most potent skill to seal TADL instantly but remembered Alice's words that there might be enemies waiting for them. So, Arina canceled the use of her skill.

[Ultimate Skill: Ultimate Teleportation]

Instantly, Arina disappeared in a flash.

Alice was currently lying down after taking a powerful blow from TADL. She checked her status using a skill.

[Special Skill: Stats Check]

Alice found that her HP was still at 90%, but because her mana had been rapidly depleted, she suffered a penalty. The penalty was that Alice felt nauseous, and her body felt weak for a few moments. Alice was very frustrated by the penalty.

After 1 second, TADL swiftly shot towards Alice at high speed, holding a spear tightly and aiming to impale Alice directly.

Alice just smiled broadly and tried to suppress her nausea.

(I feel like someone experiencing relentless motion sickness while riding in transport)

Alice felt that TADL's current attack seemed weaker and not as strong as his previous punch.

With ease, Alice immediately stopped the spear with her hand without dodging it, and she kicked TADL with her right leg, sending TADL flying to the left.

"Is that monster using a buff or skill when it struck me?"

On the other hand, Alice continued to try to recall whether TADL had ever transformed into a humanoid form in the Monsterland game, but Alice couldn't remember any reports of Mythical Monsters changing into humanoid forms.

"This is truly an event filled with mystery; perhaps I'll investigate it later,"

"It seems like because this is another world and not the Monsterland game,"

TADL, who had been sent flying, crashed into a large rock, shattering it. Arina suddenly appeared above TADL, transformed her rapier into an axe, and struck it towards TADL, creating a crater.

Arina then leaped backward, and White Fox immediately summoned thousands of ice pillars aimed at TADL. This caused TADL's body to be severely wounded and covered in endlessly dripping purple blood.

In less than a second, Alice soared toward the True Abyssal Dragon Lord and slashed at TADL's body with both of her swords, splitting TADL into several pieces.

The True Abyssal Dragon Lord was now truly dead.

Alice smiled with great satisfaction because she had managed to defeat the True Abyssal Dragon Lord in a relatively short time.

"Finally... this cursed monster, I can kill it more quickly,"

Even a party consisting of 15 players at level 150 took about 3 hours to defeat the True Abyssal Dragon Lord, including their Servants. However, Alice defeated the True Abyssal Dragon Lord in 94 minutes, and she was very pleased with that.

"If only this cursed monster hadn't transformed into a humanoid form, maybe I would have defeated it in 93 minutes,"

Both of Alice's swords were also stained with the purple blood that came from TADL. Alice lay on the barren ground, exhausted from the intense battle.

Alice truly needed rest to gradually recover her mana, and she breathed a sigh of relief, feeling very content. Several items also emerged from the divided body of TADL, including one that emitted a golden light.

"What is that item?"

Alice turned to the side to inspect the item.

"SINCE WHEN DID TRUE ABYSSAL LORD DROP SUCH VALUABLE ITEMS!?"

Alice exclaimed and wore an expression of utter disbelief at what had just happened. On the other hand, Alice was very happy because she would be able to summon her second Servant with the item dropped by the True Abyssal Dragon Lord.

"Hahaha, this is a good ending, even though it's quite amusing,"

"If this were in the Monsterland game, maybe I wouldn't have used hydrogen or atomic explosion magic,"

"I hope this battle didn't attract too much attention, hahaha,"

Alice chuckled softly while lying on the ground.
