Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Chapter 77: Decisive Action

Alicia's face turned pale when the young man said, devil. She knew her barrier would not last forever. It would only be a matter of time before the young man broke through it. As she was thinking her thoughts were interrupted by yet another scream. Alicia looked up and saw that the guards who usually followed Starla and her were all suspended in the air. 

"Haha, you ants actually thought you could sneak attack me?" The young man's face revealed a sinister smile. This smile alone sent shivers down everyone's back. It contained a large amount of blood lust. 

"Wait! Don't!" Alicia yelled out but her voice fell on deaf ears as the guards' bodies exploded sending down a rain of blood from the sky. All she could hear was the hideous laugh of the young man as he bathed in the blood. Alicia couldn't take the sight of those around her dying for no reason. As someone who aspired to be a knight how could she stand the sight of innocent people losing their lives? 

Alicia looked up at the devil and gripped her sword. She took a step forward but before she could take another, a hand had grabbed her shoulder. She looked back and saw Blake holding on to her. "Blake let me go! As someone who wants to be a knight I can not just stand here and watch!" Her voice was full of rage. She brushed Blake's hand off of her shoulder and walked towards the edge of the barrier but just before she was about to step out of the barrier Alicia tossed Blake her space and said: "Blake, protect them..." 

Alicia stepped out of the barrier and waved her hand, thousands of fireballs formed around her in an instant before shooting towards the young man in the sky. She spent no time talking as she repositioned herself further away from the barrier. This young man had already killed so many people in front of her and she knew he had also probably slaughtered many more. She did not just stop at the fireballs, she only used them for cover as streaks of lightning arched down her arms. She held them out in front of her as a ball of lightning charged up in her hands!

In the sky, the young man was surprised at the sudden attack as he waved his hand and a shield formed around him. 

*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*

Fireball after fireball hit the young man's shield. He let out a laugh as he shouted: "Little girl you will need to do better than." 

*BOOOM!* 

A ray of lightning smashed into his barrier causing cracks to emerge in the young man's shield. "Haha, Interesting! It has been so long since I have received such  a strong attack!" The young man started to get excited and was about to retaliate but he felt an immense danger as he quickly looked up into the sky. He saw thousands of black disks form up in the sky. From these black disk, many meteors descended down towards him causing the young man to not only create an even bigger barrier around himself but also the need to dodge the meteors coming down. 

"Humph! Little girl, you are trying my patience!" The young man yelled out as he continued to dodge.

On the ground, Blake, Starla, and Rose were all casting barrier magic to the best of their abilities to help extend the barrier that Alicia had made. They were also somewhat shocked by the fact that Alicia was able to put the young man in a defensive position.

But this young man was also not to be underestimated. He had declared that he was a devil so it was sure that he was strong and the next moment he waved his hand and showed just how strong he was. Large black spikes formed around him totaling more than a thousand. He sent them flying not only into the sky but also towards Alicia.  The ones aimed at the sky easily dispelled the meteor rain. while the other sped towards Alicia.

Alicia back-peddled using wind magic and started to move away from the rest now that she caught the attention of the young man. The young man was also not stupid he knew Alicia was trying to lure him away but he did not care as he shouted out. "It doesn't matter if I finish you off first, those friends of your will soon die anyway!" He then followed after Alicia. 

Magic spell after magic spell could be seen lighting up the night's sky as Alicia and the young man clashed. One in the sky, one on the ground. Alicia was firing everything she could at the young man. Although she could not fire off any strong magics that took time to charge she could still fire off magic spells that were a combination of this world's magic and ideas she got from earth. Like right now she was using fire magic to turn the molecules in the air into plasma and firing it at the young man. At first, the young man thought he could block the magic with his barrier only to find his barrier was easily penetrated by this new magic. Due to his negligence, he was actually injured by one of the plasma rays!

"Haha! Good!  I was going to keep you alive and torture the translocation magic out of you, But I changed my mind! You are too dangerous to be left alive for even a second longer! Anything that poses a threat to the greater plan needs to die!" As his words fell a large black hole appeared next to the young man and a large skeletal hand shot out from inside and speeding towards Alicia.

Alicia quickly created a barrier and wrapped her body with it but to her surprise, the skeletal hand was not an attack but was meant to capture her! Before she could react she was already in the skeletal hands grasp. She looked over at the Young man and her face paled as she saw a large black ball forming in the young man's hand. The young man had a bloodthirsty smile form on his face as he sent the black ball racing towards Alicia. Alicia did her best to struggle but she could not free herself from the grasp of the skeletal hand that held her. Her face paled as she thought: 'I'm going to die again!' 

Alicia closed her eyes as she saw that the black ball was about to hit her. But the pain that came with death never came instead she felt herself in a warm embrace...
