Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Chapter 393: Gaining Strength

Alicia put the book down and let out a sigh. She was not sure what to believe anymore. She has heard so many stories now that they all seem to be mashing together. But at least she now had an idea of why Phantasia itself seemed out of place within the solar system.

Inside Alicia's space on top of a mountain where other dragons roamed, Loeri sat on top of a rock looking out over the dark space with many floating landmasses. "Loeri, you have been here for almost a week." 

A young man walked up, this young man was Darktorn of the Dragon race. "Hmm? Has it really been that long? Seems like it has only been a day at most." 

"Are you not pushing yourself too much?" Darktorn had been watching Loeri all this time and noticed she had been bothered by something. She would not stop cultivating no matter what. Her quest to grow stronger had become an obsession. He was really starting to worry about her.

"Not at all. Did you know in order to allow me and Frey free from her space in the cultivation world that Alicia worked her butt off day and night trying to gain the strength needed to free us? On top of that, she continued to push herself just so that we could return home. And then just recently she would have rather us live life inside her space and sacrifice herself to save us than to allow us to die. That dumb girl even forgot that if she dies I die too! But still! None of that matters. Alicia has always put others first and I have been lagging behind as someone who once could stand by her side. Now I am nothing more than a burden. I must grow stronger, no matter what, I must grow to be strong enough to stand and fight by her side!" Every ounce of Loeri's being was filled with determination. Darktorn could only close his mouth and watch from the side. 

Loeri was not the only one working hard. Starla, Claire, Rose, and Annelia were also working very hard. "Again!" 

"I won't hold back!" Rose yelled out as she struck out with her fist. 

Starla and Rose were in a heated battle as they were using fists only to train up their martial prowess. Starla had hit a wall in her cultivation and they had found out from Tang Guanting that a life or death battle could help with such things. So at this time, they were really going at it slugging it out. 

On the other side, Annelia and Clare were watching ready to run in at any time to heal the injured. Each time they threw a punch their fist would be covered in spiritual qi. It was like this that they were able to deplete their spiritual qi over and over allowing them to strengthen themselves and build up a better foundation. 

In another area of Alicia's space, Frey was taking lessons for the fairies in how to cast illusion magic which was a specialty of the Fairies. "Now imagine what you want them to see while they are under the influence of the illusion." 

Frey concentrated her mind and slowly a mist spread out from her little body covering a large area. The fairy who was instructing her was amazed when she realized she was suddenly in a flower field full of flowers. But what horrified her was what she saw in the sky. Large balls of molten rock were falling from the sky right at her. "Quick stop!" 

The illusion quickly disappeared letting the fairy instructing Frey to let out a breath of relief. "Did Frey do well?"

"More than just well. That was one horrifying scene. First, you get them with the beautiful flowers then you look up at the sky to see impending doom. Are you sure you are from the Fairy race?" The instructor wondered when did fairies become so violent.

As everyone was doing their own training Alicia stood high above in the sky looking down at the academy and its surrounding lands. "Everything is ready right?"

"Yes, I have purged anyone who would be a problem." Master Sei answered.

"Yes, please proceed." Claude said with a smile. 

"Then here we go!" Alicia waved her hand and enveloped the entire landscape making it instantly disappear leaving a huge crater like she did back in Alastine. 

"That was very fast." Master Sei was surprised at how easy it was.

"I did do this with planets and suns so I am quite used to it." Alicia explained.

"This is true At least now with the new defenses within your space, no one can enter it without your approval. Your mother is very strong, When she had me test the new defense I was utterly defeated... But this is a good thing. Our people will be safe from here on out. " Master Sei said as she scratched his head.

"I had never thought to set up a better defense since I was given the space from my father. It was not until you broke in that I ever had a need to." Alicia was actually grateful for Master Sei, otherwise, she would have never had thought such a thing was possible. "I guess we are off to Old Don's lands now?"

"Actually you can do all those old men's lands at the same time we all border each other. " Old Don replied.

"Okay leave it to me. Then we will be off to the Holy Land!"
