Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Chapter 164: Frost Flower Part Seven

"My only issue is that I will need full concentration on this so I won't be able to move once I start working this spell." Alicia bit her lip trying to figure out a way to get around this issue. But before she could come up with a good idea she found herself benign lifted off the ground. "Ahh! Blake, what are you doing!?" 

"Making it so you can concentrate on the spell. I will do the dodging for you. Just worry about taking that thing down and leave the rest to me." Blake answered Alicia's flustered question as he placed her right onto his shoulders. 

Blushing red from their closeness Alicia did her best to compose herself as she looked up into the sky. 'Don't think unnecessary thoughts, Alicia!' She raised her hand towards the sky. Very quickly a ball of wind formed within the clouds. It slowly got bigger and bigger as the clouds around it started to part, showing the blue sky above. Sweat dripped from Alicia's brow as she raised her other hand to the sky. A black disk shaped object covered the freshly revealed blue sky sucking in all the light in the area and focusing it into a point. The ball of light that was gathering began to grow brighter and brighter until it was even brighter than the sun itself. 

The ground below began to grow hot as steam rose from the ground as the ice and snow quickly melted away. Blake quickly casted a shield around the two of them to ward off any of the effects of the magic spell Alicia was unleashing. Wind and lightning began to swirl around the now flaming white ball of light in the sky. It was like a mini sun had formed above the Frozen Forest. 

Alicia looked at her creation and how it was basically burning and melting everything near it. A name came to mind as she watched its destruction before even falling to the ground. "Armageddon..." Alicia muttered as she lowered her hand causing the mini sun to fall towards the catastrophe ranked turtle demonic beast. 

Sensing danger the turtle demonic beast hurriedly retreated into its shell. At the same time, Alicia hopped off Blake's shoulders, grabbed his hand, and teleported them out of the forest back to the village of Eternal Snow which was almost a week away. Right as they reappeared the ground shook and an explosion that sounded like an atomic bomb going off rocked all of Phantasia, A mushroom cloud rose into the sky. It was only then that Alicia remembered the other teams. She had not thought that her attack would be this powerful, her worried expression was not missed by Blake as he gripped her little hand and said: "Do not worry, I had already sent word for them to all evacuate with their escape talisman."

"But what if some of them were split..." Alicia was still worried someone might have died due to her use of this spell.

Blake smiled and placed a hand on top of Alicia's head. "The Talismans they had are special each individual is registered into it. if the leader trainer uses it every person there will be teleported no matter where they are located."

Only after hearing Blake did Alicia breathe a sigh of relief. But she still felt bad since escape talismans were very expensive. They allowed the user to bring a group of people with them to a certain location inscribed in the magic circle on the talisman. It was a form of teleportation but it only went to set location.

Turning time back a bit when the mini sun named Armageddon hit the ground it vaporized everything it touched instantly. This included the catastrophe ranked turtle demonic beast that was trying to defend itself from within its shell. On this day the frozen Forest had disappeared all the way to the great Glacier Mountains. The Armageddon blew a massive crater in the ground that went down 100 hundred kilometers as its deepest spot and spanned the entire five hundred kilometer Frozen Forest. Erasing a few mountains as well. 

When the energy produced passed by the now abandoned village of Eternal Snow, the houses shook slightly but most of the energy had already dispersed after going such a long distance. Alicia looked at Blake who nodded his head and Alicia grabbed his hand and teleported back to the entrance of the Frozen Forest. What lay before them stunned them. The crater that was dug deep into the ground revealed a large metal plate with many magic runes carved into it. 

Blake held on to Alicia and flew down into the crater and hovered just above the surface. He expected it to be hot but to his surprise, the metal below him was giving off a frosty cold aura. He looked at the runes and his brow furrowed as he said: "Even I can't read these. I have no idea what language it is."

Looking at the runes Alicia's eyes seemed to widen a bit as she thought 'Why does this look like Japanese!? No, it doesn't look like it, it is Japanese!'

Noticing Alicia's shocked expression Blake asked: "What's wrong?" 

"I-I can read this..." Alicia replied, still feeling a bit shocked to see Japanese characters in this world.

"You can read it!?" Blake asked, astonished. Since even he had never seen such a language before.

"Yeah I-I think I am the only one on Phantasia who can read this..." As Alicia read the Japanese carved into the metal plate, tears began to well up into her eyes. The words that were written not in the magic runes but etched into the metal surface were a letter to her!
