Alice released her arrow towards the True Abyssal Dragon Lord, and instantly, giant thorns emerged from underground, piercing the True Abyssal Dragon Lord. However, these thorns only penetrated its scales.
TADL now considered Alice its primary target and moved swiftly towards her. Alice switched her weapon to two swords, the Dual Destiny Sword. She also prepared to use one of her Origin Skills, fully aware that it might be necessary.
"It seems this battle needs to end quickly," Alice murmured for two seconds. "If not, it could become dangerous because it's attracting too much attention, and I'm sure it will draw the interest of other unknown powerful creatures."
Alice continued to mutter, "ARINA! WHITE FOX! WE'RE GOING FULL OFFENSIVE AND FORGETTING ABOUT DEFENSE, IT'S TIME TO DESTROY IT!!" She yelled to boost morale and give orders.
"I understand, Alice-sama," Arina and White Fox moved away from Alice, while the True Abyssal Dragon Lord approached with its mouth wide open, ready to devour her.
Alice and the True Abyssal Dragon Lord were now very close, and it would only take one second for TADL to capture Alice if she didn't evade.
[Origin Skill: True Demon Lord Berserk]
Instantly, a dense mixture of purple and black aura enveloped Alice's body. She leaped while spinning 360°, landing on top of TADL's head.
TADL, realizing that its target was now on its head, closed its previously wide-open mouth and tried to shake its head vigorously to throw Alice off.
Alice then sprinted towards TADL's right eye and stabbed it, causing the eye to shatter. TADL roared in pain, and the shockwave threw Alice and the others away from its body.
TADL immediately fired thousands of its hard scales at Alice. These scales had high damage and resembled thorns the size of human bodies.
On the other side, Arina and White Fox continued their relentless attacks near TADL's tail. However, TADL ignored them and prioritized killing Alice.
"It's a shame your passive abilities only limit teleportation and don't prevent it," Alice commented.
The thousands of scales were now rapidly approaching Alice and were only a few meters away from her. It would take 0.3 seconds for them to hit her if she didn't evade.
"Ultimate Skill: Ultimate Teleportation!"
Instantly, Alice teleported inside TADL's neck. The scales changed direction, targeting TADL's neck as they detected Alice inside.
Inside TADL's neck, Alice hit herself on the head, berating her foolishness.
"DAMN!!! WHY DIDN'T I USE HYDROGEN EXPLOSION MAGIC INSIDE ITS BODY!!!!???"
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
"I'M SO STUPID!!!! I'M REALLY, REALLY STUPID!!!"
"Sigh...." Alice took a moment to catch her breath.
Then she began randomly slashing the inside of TADL's neck, causing TADL to roar in pain. On the side, TADL's tail started to get severed due to Arina and White Fox's attacks.
The thousands of TADL scales that were previously in the air struck TADL forcefully, causing it to lose balance and slowly fall from the sky.
Since Alice was now inside TADL's body, her HP decreased by about 0.2% per second due to the absolute debuff effect. However, Alice's attacks were critical, and combined with [Origin Skill: True Demon Lord Berserk], they dealt significantly increased damage.
TADL began sacrificing its flesh to transform into a group of humanoid soldiers with a mix of dragon and undead races.
Alice simply grinned wickedly.
"Your efforts are in vain; I'll end this quickly,"
With ease, Alice proceeded to slash through each creature with the dragon and undead mix, then continued to cut into TADL's neck, causing severe injuries.
Before long, TADL's body crashed into the ground, creating a powerful shockwave and earthquake. It was as if a large meteor had struck the land.
Alice felt that she had spent enough time inside TADL and decided to exit since her remaining teleportation could only be used once more. Typically, monsters would gain absolute immunity when attacked from within when their HP fell below 10%.
"Ultimate Skill: Ultimate Teleportation!"
Alice now stood beside Arina and White Fox, who appeared slightly fatigued. They were putting in a tremendous effort to defeat the True Abyssal Dragon Lord, a Mythical Monster with the highest HP.
The body of the True Abyssal Dragon Lord was currently coiled like a serpent, covering a large egg-shaped object with its body. Alice saw an opportunity to annihilate the True Abyssal Dragon Lord in a single strike.
"Arina, it's time to finish off the True Abyssal Dragon Lord in one attack, use your [Origin Skill: Golden Maneki Neko]," Alice commanded.
Arina nodded to indicate her understanding of Alice's orders. She then put away her large axe and prepared to use the skill.
"As you command, Alice-sama,"
"Origin Skill: Golden Maneki Neko!"
Arina straightened her hand while uttering the skill's name.
A giant golden maneki neko statue instantly emerged from beneath the ground and encased the True Abyssal Dragon Lord. The Maneki Neko statue was even larger than the True Abyssal Dragon Lord.
The golden Maneki Neko statue had the form of a golden cat and appeared to be in a seated pose with one paw raised. This statue resembled the Maneki Neko figurines commonly found in East Asian stores. Another name for the Maneki Neko is the lucky cat, believed to bring good fortune when placed inside a shop.

Alice then immediately removed the two swords from her hands. She activated several magic circles intending to detonate TADL inside the Maneki Neko statue.
"Alice-sama, are you planning to use S+ tier magic again?" Arina asked with a worried tone and expression, even though her face was hidden by her helmet.
"Yes, I'll end it in one attack," Alice replied.
"But Alice-sama, what about your mana capacity?"
"It's alright; I want to finish this in one strike," Alice reassured.
TADL, inside the statue, was also bound by a golden chain, and its body was pierced by thousands of sharp golden thorns. Currently, TADL appears weak and immobilized.
TADL could only continue roaring, causing the Maneki Neko statue to tremble, but it wasn't a significant concern.
Alice was now preparing to unleash an S+ tier magic spell named [Maxima Purify Magic: Atomic Explosion].
"Hm?"
Alice sensed an anomaly.
"It can't be..."
Arina was profoundly surprised.
Cracks began to appear in the Maneki Neko statue.
"This has never happened before,"
Alice pondered the cause of the cracks in the Maneki Neko statue, continuing to think. However, she was already prepared to cast the S+ tier spell, and after using it, her mana reserves would drop to 5%.
"I have a bad feeling about this,"
"Damn it!"
Alice was quite annoyed because it seemed the battle was far from over.
