Verifying whether the blonde Demon King had taken over the Milu Rabbit’s body was a relatively easy task. As mentioned previously, Consciousness Transformation was a taboo with various uses. Although the taboo didn’t stand out in any particular field like other spirit taboos, it was superior because it was an all-rounder.
For example, the taboo could be used to inspect an individual’s memories.
Of course, when it came to reading memories, one might recall that Alice didn’t know how to read memory codes. Even if she managed to retrieve the Milu Rabbit’s memory code with Consciousness Transformation, she wouldn’t be able to understand any of it. In that case, how could she determine whether the memory code she was reading belonged to the Milu Rabbit or the blonde Demon King?
Fortunately, this wasn’t a huge problem. Alice might not understand memory codes, but…she could simply look at the memory code’s length.
Meanwhile, the length of the memory code Alice retrieved from the Milu Rabbit’s brain was only one-twentieth of the memory code she had retrieved from Kamia’s brain previously. Going by Kamia’s age, the Milu Rabbit should only have around one year’s worth of memories in its brain.
After considering that the Milu Rabbit’s small brain was incapable of storing memories and processing thoughts as complex as humans, this memory code should only represent one or two years’ worth of memories. This more or less matched the Milu Rabbit’s age. So, the Milu Rabbit’s soul was evidently residing in its body. Its body was not taken over by that blonde Demon King.
Alice breathed a sigh of relief when she verified this point. Though, there was one point that confused her a little, and that was the fact that the memories the Milu Rabbit had generated in the last few minutes were evidently much more complex than its earlier memories. It felt like she was reading a human’s memories when she looked at this latest segment of code. This meant that the Milu Rabbit’s thoughts were just as complex as that of a human now.
Alice couldn’t tell if this was a misconception or if something had really changed in the Milu Rabbit’s brain. Logically, the Milu Rabbit’s small brain should have difficulty supporting such complex thoughts. However, Alice didn’t put too much thought into this matter as she retracted Consciousness Transformation’s effects.
Originally, Alice had wanted to give the Milu Rabbit a knockout punch and tie it to her waist again. However, considering that the Milu Rabbit’s spirit might have suffered some negative effects from the experience just now, Alice dared not forcibly knock it unconscious. So, she decided to simply let it sit on the experiment table and take it to a veterinarian for an inspection afterward.
Meanwhile, after setting the Milu Rabbit aside, Alice bent down and picked up the taboo book she dropped. Then, she gripped it with her right hand.
…
[Weapon: Magic Book – Spiritual Realm]
[Quality: Garbage]
[Effect: Spirit +1]
[Additional Effect: None]
…
It was the same information Alice saw when she previously held the book. By now, Alice’s brain could already automatically filter out the information panels of items rated as “Garbage.” Hence, when she picked up the book previously, she didn’t notice anything special about it.
However, Alice felt that her right hand’s evaluation of the book didn’t make sense. Any item capable of housing a soul shouldn’t be ordinary. If this book’s weapon quality really was “Garbage,” it shouldn’t be capable of housing a soul. Not to mention, it didn’t have skills like “Soul Attachment” found on the Soul Gathering Tablet and Radioactive Soul Stone.
“Could it be…”
Alice frowned as an idea came to her mind. Immediately, she put the book on the table and started inspecting every individual page with her right hand. Since she wasn’t trying to learn “Spiritual Realm” right away, she turned the pages swiftly. Then, finally, when she reached the 19th page, a different information panel appeared in her mind.

…
Sure enough, she concealed the scroll housing her soul and the Spiritual Realm spell as one of the pages in this taboo book.
Alice chuckled when she verified her hypothesis. This situation was similar to when she held her pouch of panties with her right hand. Even if the pouch carried a bunch of “Artifact” rated panties, her right hand would only consider the pouch as “Garbage.” So, even if the “Epic” rated Soul Mark Scroll was clamped inside the Spiritual Realm taboo book, her right hand’s evaluation of the book would not change. She would need to hold the Soul Mark Scroll directly to see its information.
Afterward, Alice pulled the page out of the book and pinched it with her right hand. Because she was now holding an Epic-grade weapon, she could feel power coursing within her body.
“Hey, Demon King inside, are you still not coming out?”
It might sound like Alice was prepared to talk to the blonde Demon King, but she didn’t actually have any intentions of sparing the other party.
The reason Alice had spared Andusia previously was because she was in urgent need of information on Demon Kings and the Demon King’s Power. There was also the fact that she could control Andusia easily due to Andusia’s body being made of Living Wood. Afterward, she learned about why Andusia hated humans and felt she could rectify this problem. Hence, Alice had kept Andusia around.
However, it was a different story for this blonde Demon King. Alice didn’t need a second source of information on Demon Kings. She also didn’t wish to risk keeping a Demon King whose soul she had no confidence in suppressing.
Hence, Alice decided that she would first try to squeeze any useful information from the other party. Then, she would get rid of the other party.

After Alice finished speaking, she could feel the sheet of paper in her hand shivering slightly. There was no wind blowing in this secret room, so this was obviously the blonde Demon King’s reaction after hearing Alice’s words.
“It seems you are prepared to die without saying a word?”
Alice narrowed her eyes and gripped the Soul Mark Scroll’s other edge with her left hand. Then, she tugged on both edges gently.
The Soul Mark Scroll might be capable of housing a soul, but it didn’t change the fact that it was made of paper. While it might be much sturdier than ordinary paper, its toughness was only on par with parchment made from tanned animal skin.
With only such a degree of toughness, Alice could rip this paper apart easily. She refused to believe that this paper could continue housing souls once it was torn in half.
