Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Chapter 26: Demons In Human Skin Part One

Berlin who was watching Alicia as she fought demonic beasts took out his mirror to contact Charles. "Your Majesty!"

"Did you set up what I asked you to set up?" Berlin asked.

"Yes, your Majesty! There are over five thousand altogether. They were locked into a paralysis barrier so that they could not move, then another barrier was erected around them in order to prevent them from being killed by demonic beasts." Charles answered.

"Did you give them the conditions?" Berlin had put a lot of thought into this training. This training was not easy to undertake. He had upscaled this training from beginner straight to elite and now the last part would be the elite of the elite type training.

"Yes, Your Majesty I told them as long as they could kill the blonde headed little girl who tries to take the scroll they could all be released. But your Majesty, what if she fails?" Charles was a bit worried since they were not easy to deal with. Each one had been imprisoned but it took many squads of knights to capture and bring them in.

"Do not worry. She will be fine. I am sure of it." Without waiting for Charles to say another word, Berlin watched as Alicia killed the last demonic beast.

Alicia wiped the sweat off her forehead as she looked around her surroundings. "I think that was the last one. Loeri, Frey, you two okay?"

"Hehehehe! Mother, that was fun, we went... Wooosh! Whaaaaam! WAZOOOO! WEEEE!" Frey was making all kinds of sound effects as she tried her best to inmate Alicia's movements.

"I am fine as well Alicia. You did a great job. Let's hope that is the last wave." Loeri said as she sighed.

"I have a feeling something much worse is about to befall us. Master Berlin likes to do things in phases. Starting with not too hard, too hard, and then ending with extreme. So I expect we will be getting something much, much, worse than this soon. So Loeri, keep an eye out not only for demonic beasts but other things as well. This means humans too." Alicia had an idea what would be happening, she just did not know to what extent just yet.

A month passed and Alicia finally made it to the outer edge of the center of the Demonic Forest. This was the area where once she stepped foot inside she had to be even more cautious and careful than ever before.

As soon as she stepped foot over the line that was considered the middle of the forest Alicia quickly leaned back causing both Loeri and Frey to have to hold on for dear life. A 'zeeee' sound could be heard as five arrows based overhead embedding themselves into the tree trunk behind them. Alicia quickly spread a protective barrier on both Loeri and Frey as well as herself and took out her sword.

"Lorei are they human?" Alicia asked.

"Yes, and there are lots of them..." Loeri replied.

Alicia figured this would be the test. In this world, there were not only demonic beasts that one had to watch out for but also humans. And humans were worse than demonic beasts. Alicia had already run into these types of humans before. "Frey from here on out you need to stay under Loeri. Loeri it's your job to protect Frey if anything happens to me, as long as I am alive take her and run away! Frey if anything happens to your mother run and do not look back do you got that!?"

"Something will happen to mother!?" Tears started to well up into Frey's little eyes. She did not want to lose her mother!

"Frey, listen to your mother if anything happens to us you need to fly into the sky and run away. But for now you will stay hidden underneath me okay?" Loeri understood why Alicia said this now. It was to prepare Frey for the worst just in case.

"Yes, be a good girl and hide under Loeri or no snacks for you later!" Hearing Alicia's threat of no snacks Frey quickly wiped her tears and climbed under Loeri to hide.

Right as she did, five huge men wearing plain clothes that were tattered beyond belief came walking out from behind the trees. "This is the little bitch we need to kill in order to be set free? Isn't this a little too easy!? Ahahahaha! Hey, little girl, how about a taste of a man before you die!? Ahahahaha!"

"Your one sick bastard! No wonder you ended up being imprisoned." Another man yelled out.

"Hehe, not as sick as you. Aren't you the corpse r*pist!?"

Every one of these men were the worst of the worst that were caught and imprisoned from the Kingdom of Alastine. "Heh! Rather a corpse with big tits than a damn puny kid!"

Alicia frowned, she found their vulgar words disgusting. "I guess there is no need to talk to these men I will just kill my way through. Master Berlin is very harsh in his training. I expect these men are the weakest of the bunch." Alicia thought to herself.

She did not hesitate as she rushed forward swinging her sword straight at the neck of the closet man. The man did not expect the little girl in front of him to suddenly attack so before he even had time to react his head was separated from his body. The four other men were startled as they watched blood spray out of the man's neck like a fountain.

"Quickly kill the bitch before she kills us!" They quickly realized that the little girl was not afraid to kill them!

Unfortunately for them, Alicia was right, they were all weak. They were nothing more than a bunch of r*pists who banned together to kill her. Alicia knew that this was just the beginning. She knew the hardest part would most likely be around the scroll.
