Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Chapter 95: Celestial Race

"So what should we do with these undead?" Alicia asked. She did not know if these things were dangerous or not.

"For now, we can only fall back. Undead are somewhat problematic. Although these skeletons do not have any kind of intelligence to them. Once they feel something warm they will rush to that warmth. Luckily we moved before they detected us. Now, this might not seem to be such a big deal but when they detect something warm they try to get as close as they can to it. Unfortunately, if the object is not hard they will try to dig in as much as they can. Meaning if they detect us they will try to rip us to shreds to get inside our bodies. The worst part about the undead is their resilience. They are not easy to take down. This goes especially for skeletons. Unless you smash their cores they will just reform their bodies. But those cores are harder than many metals" Alicia couldn't help but shiver at Blakes words. After listening to what he had to say she never wanted to have to fight with the undead. Even if she could fight with them it would seem to be a daunting task to survive while fighting multiples at a time.

"So what should we do from here?" Alicia did not know if Blake wanted to continue or not.

"Well with everything I said and with how many undead are here it is likely we will run into more. So I will show you how to use holy magic. It is the only thing that is useful in destroying undead with ease." Blake had been meaning to show Alicia how to use holy magic since they had fought the Devil since holy magic was useful against devils as well. "This magic is not only useful for warding off and killing Undead but it can also be used to fight devils. Watch closely." 

Alicia nodded as she watched Blake wave his hand and a golden ball of light appeared. He then tossed it in the air and waved his hand again. The ball of light expanded and covered the two of them in a golden dome shaped shield. "So pretty..." Alicia said with a smile on her face. She could feel a warmth to this magic.

The corner of Blake's lips curved upwards seeing the happy expression on Alicia's face. "This magic can only be used by the Gods race." Blake suddenly dropped a bomb that caused Alicia's face to sink. She opened her mouth and was about to ask why he was showing her this but was cut off by Blake who continued, saying: "The reason why I am showing this magic to you is because, I have faith that you will be able to use it."

Alicia pursed her lips, not sure if she would be able to use it not. "What makes you say that I will be able to use it?" Alicia asked.

"Hmm Let's just say its a feeling." Blake did not want to explain too much. If he did he feared it would divert Alicia off the path she had chosen for herself.

"Well if you think I can do it then tell me what I should feel and image." Alicia still was a bit skeptic but she knew it would never hurt to try. If she could actually cast holy magic then it would be a good thing.

"Alright with holy magic it's best to try to imagine a warmth something that could cause one to feel a sense of relaxation and purity.  As if your whole body is being purified after being wrapped in a light of warmth." Blake did his best to explain.

Alicia closed her eyes and tried her best to imagine such a thing. The only thing that came to mind was the gods from Earth's religions. Mainly god from Christianity. She remembered that in all the anime and manga she had read that when dealing with holy magic that religion was the most used. After a while, Alicia had cupped her hands together and knelt on to the floor trying to give herself a bit more of an image that she would see in a church when a nun prayed to Jesus on the cross that hung up on the wall of the church.

Blake stood to the side and waited to see if there would be any kind of reaction. His wait was not long when the air in the room seemed to begin to swirl around Alicia. His eyes opened wide when Alicia's body began to glow with a golden light. As if in a trance, Alicia stood up with her eyes closed. Her mouth was moving at an incredible speed. The words coming from her mouth caused Blake to be shocked! "Ancient Gods language No... Celestial race language!"

The two languages were similar since the Gods language was derived from the Celestial race. No one else knew about the Celestial race except the Gods race. It was a history that was passed down from generation to generation of the Gods race. The actual origin of the Celestial race was still unknown to the Gods race. They only knew that the Celestial race was much stronger than any other race. for example, one Celestial could fight a hundred Gods.

Blake watched as Alicia's eyes suddenly opened. Her normally blue eyes and became like an image of a stary night sky. fully black with many stars twinkling within. Her body exuded a mass of pressure that even Blake was having a hard to resisting. His eyes kept getting wider and wider as he watched the scene in front of him. The words she was saying suddenly stopped. She raised her hand into the air and parted her lips once more.  "Sanctuary! "
