Chapter 204: A Troublesome Foe… For The Enemy

Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Outside Alastine capital in the joint command tent for the Blackstone Empire and Mytheth Lenora, General Woodrow and Amier were trying to come up with plans to take out the shield that was blocking them from progressing any further. "What should we do at this rate, we will run out of supplies before we can even leave a scratch on the barrier!"

General Woodrow was starting to get impatient. No matter what they did or tried they failed each time. He wanted to finish this up and return home so he could be with his wife and kids! "Amier, is there no way?"

As he asked this question a figure appeared in front of them. It was an old elf with a distorted look on his face. "You two fools! Why is it taking you so long to conquer this backwater kingdom!?"

"Sir, they have someone assisting them! The barrier around the capital is impenetrable!" Amier's normal lofty attitude disappeared as he bowed deeply to the old elf explaining the problem.

"Prosperous! Everyone knows that Alastine has no connections to any powerful people! Fine, since you can't handle it then this old elf will!" Red in the face with anger the old elf teleported out of the command tent and appeared at the edge of the freshly formed canyon.

The old elf looked up at the floating landmass above him and frowned. He did not realize it was so high in the sky. "Humph! Do you think that just being high in the sky will stop me!?"

The old elf saw a spot he would land firmly on just beyond the barrier and disappeared from where he stood. But unfortunately where he reappeared was not the spot he intended as his face slammed right into the barrier. He let out a painful grunt as he stared menacingly at the barrier as he slowly fell towards the ground. With a snort, he disappeared and reappeared back at the edge of the canyon.

Not wanting to give up the old elf waved his hand causing a mass of mixed ice and fireballs to rain from the sky on to the barrier. But even after a half hour, the barrier did not even shake, never mind show signs of cracking. "Who the hell made this barrier!" The old elf shouted out in rage.

Alicia was standing at the edge of the capital looking down towards the ground at the old elf stomping and raising his fist up towards the sky. Dudley was standing next to her and smirked seeing the old elf raging.

"Princess, that is the man who is called the old monster of the elves. He has twenty Magi Points. He is the one who forced his majesty to seal himself." Dudley explained.

"Oh?" One word is all Alicia said before her body disappeared. This man was the one who took her Royal Father away! Although King Augustus was not her real father. She still loved him as so. He was her father, her family of this new life and she would avenge anyone who harmed her family.

While the old elf was raging and trying to figure out a way to destroy the barrier, Alicia suddenly appeared behind him with a sword in her hand. She was so quiet the old elf did not even notice her until it was too late. He only felt a sword being thrust into his back piercing through his heart. Alicia pulled her sword out and flicked the blood off, causing the old elf to teeter in place before falling backward. He looked up in shock and unwillingness when he saw the beautiful young girl enter his eyes.

"You! That hair color! Your of the Gods race!" The old elf stared in shock at the golden blonde hair in front of him as he grasped his chest trying to heal his wounds with magic.

"You're wrong. I am not of the Gods race, I am from a race that does not belong to this world. But now I live in this world and you have harmed my father. So now you will pay with your life. You thought you were special because you have twenty Magi Points? I am sorry to tell you but those twenty are like nothing in my eyes.

" I am what my father calls an Infinity Star Magician, by the time you are at the end of your life cycle I will still be as young as ever. I have not the time to look at the object you so wish to covet and do not know how you even know of such an object but I will say this, your little parade is over. Your country will be forced to submit to me and my father will be unsealed. This means all your hard work was for nothing. You should have stayed in your home country instead of trying to wage war against another that you did not know anything about. This kingdom may be full of humans but there are many powerful entities in this kingdom who can wipe one mesially elven country off the map! "

After finishing her words and not letting the old elf reply Alicia once again thrust her sword out stabbing the old elf between the brow killing him instantly. To not risk the old elf turning into an undead and coming to seek revenge she lit him on fire burning his body into nothing but grey ash.

Chapter 205: Dishing Out Punishments

Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Alicia knew it was now time to begin. This time she would not bring an army with her, there was no need. This time it would only be Blake and her. The army would stay in the capital and protect it just in case.

It was unknown when Blake appeared but he stood next to Alicia and grasped her hand into his. Alicia adjusted her fingers to interlock her's with his and looked up at him with a smile. "Blake, thank you for being with me this entire time. Your support has allowed me to make it through all this."

"Akari, I am and will always be by your side, until the day we turn to dust." Blake said warmly, pulling Alicia into a hug.

"I know. But I still felt I should say thank you. Now let's end this, so Alastine can once again prosper as it did before."

Blake nodded his head and held Alicia's waist as he floated up into the air and flew towards the Blackstone Empire and Mytheth Lenora encampment. It only took five minutes to reach their destination, they hovered in the air above the encampment looking down at it. "Humans and elves of the Blackstone empire and Mytheth Lenora! You have caused much damage to my kingdom! You have killed and enslaved the people of my kingdom and have committed other atrocities. "

Alicia's eyes turned cold when she saw women with lifeless eyes being led around naked in chains. With a wave of her hand these women disappeared from their chains and reappeared in the air around them. She then quickly sent them all into her space where she had already notified Starla and the rest of the incoming visitors. Alicia knew these women would be traumatized most likely for the rest of their life after enduring such things being done to them.

After scanning and making sure no other Alastine citizen was in the encampment. Her cold gaze landed on a man who came out of the biggest tent with a fierce look in his eyes. "Who are you!?"

"Then one who will bring down judgment on those who invade my lands. And my decision is that you will all suffer a fate worse than death!" Alicia waved her yet again creating a barrier around the entire encampment. She then created a magic circle that made the air gradually grow hotter and hotter and also amplified the sun's rays as time went one. The barrier she had created was just as strong as the one around the capital so there was no chance of them breaking through it. And since it was a half-sphere shaped barrier that even blocked the escape from digging under it only allowing the not dig a few centimeters before hitting the barrier. The soldiers inside were not going to have a good death.

This was Alicia's punishment for the atrocities they had committed during their invasion of Alastine. A fitting end for these men who deserved worse than death. Alicia had effectively made a living purgatory.

"You are getting better at your magic." Blake praised. Her barriers were stronger than ever now.

"I seem to have tapped into some of my Celestial powers when we raised the capital. It's only a sliver but it strengthened my magic by almost a hundredfold. My eyes have also become darker as a result." Alicia explained. Blake, of course, noticed these changes in Alicia since he always had his eyes on her but did not say anything. He felt it was best to wait until she said something herself.

"We will head to Mytheth Lenora first. I want to save Royal Father first and then deal with both the elves and the empire."

"I am not sure the elves will submit." Blake let out a sigh as he said this. The elves were a highly prideful race and thought that they stood above all those that were below them due to their magic proficiency.

"Then if they don't I will annex the entire country. They invaded Alastine they should be prepared for the repercussions that follow and if they are not too bad. That just means their pride was too high and thought lowly of the enemy. Such an underestimation will cause their downfall. We will not hurt the innocent but we will take out anyone who dares to attack us." Alicia wrapped her arms around Blake's waist signaling it was time to leave. Although secretly she knew she could fly on her own now she still liked being carried by Blake like this. His body warmth gave her a sense of security and kept her mind clear.

Because they were only two people they were able to fly right into Mytheth Lenora and head towards its capital undetected. Alicia was amazed at the landscape of this country because it was filled with sporadic trees, some so large their tops could not be seen through the clouds. Each tree was a city of its own with many elves living in them. The land around them was highly fertile so many farms could be seen around each tree. In the middle of this country rest the biggest tree of them all, this tree was where the capital of Mytheth Lenora resided.

The elves' pride in their ability in magic made them very unguarded. They felt that no one would try to attack them due to their magic abilities. But on this day their pride will cause the downfall of the Kingdom of elves. Alicia and Blake hovered over the castle. She searched each floor with her detection magic until she found what looked to be the ruler of Mytheth Lenora. "I think I found him bringing us there now!"

Inside the castle, the elven king was in his study going over a bunch of documents when he felt the Magicules in the air fluctuate in front of him. "Who's there!?"

"No one much, just a person who came to dish out some much needed punishments on a fool king!"
