Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Chapter 452: Fate Has Many Obstacles Part Two

After her talk with Charles Alicia let out a sigh as she looked down at her world. A cold smile formed on her face. "Someone dared to attack my planet, my homeland? I guess those people want to be wiped from this universe." 

Alicia's body flashed as she disappeared only to reappear above a decimated city. This was no ordinary city, this was her kingdom, a place she had been painstakingly trying to defend no matter what. Rage began to fill Alicia's heart as she saw the craters that had wiped out whole sections of the capital. Even the royal palace had been destroyed. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she looked at the scene in front of her. Her family, her friends, even her people. She saw no signs of any life. "Fine! Fine! You fucking people wish to do such things to me and my people then once I figure out who is behind all this and who was the one who ordered this, I will destroy your homes, your planets and wipe out your entire race!"

Alicia did not notice that her halo at this time dimmed slightly and specks of black began to form within it. Her heart had fallen into despair and her thoughts of revenge were taking over. But even if she knew she would not care. She had made an oath to protect her people and while she was out doing just that someone decided to take this chance to destroy everything she held dear. 

Alicia slowly landed on a deserted street. The buildings around her now laid in rubble. Paper fluttered about across the ground as a gentle breeze blew by. Smoke raised up into the sky. The view was no different from an apocalyptic scene she had seen in a movie in her past life on Earth. She quickly spread her divine sense out to see if she could spot any survivors but no matter how far she reached out, even beyond the boundaries of the city, even after engulfing the entirety of Alastine, she found no living soul. What she was able to detect was more destruction. 

"Charles said Wendy was still fighting but he did not say where " With this in mind, Alicia spread her divine sense out further and further until she finally found a large battlefield. Waving her hand a void opened in front of her and she quickly stepped through it. 

She arrived in the skies above a large battle. Magicules, spiritual qi, holy qi, and even laser weapons could be seen flying back and forth. The power of these people ranged from low cultivation levels up past the true god realm. The ground was already bathed in deep red from all the blood being spilled. She scanned the area until she a found familiar aura. Now knowing which side was which Alicia finally waved her hand creating a large barrier around those from her side. Before teleporting right in front of a young girl. "Wendy..."

Wendy looked at the familiar figure and her eyes started to water up. "You're finally here."

"Mmm I'm late, I'm sorry." Alicia said as she pulled the young girl into a hug. "Where is everyone?"

"Your birth mother and father are off fighting some powerful people. Your other father and your brothers and sisters were sent to another world. The attack was so sudden that we had no time to prepare. Even against the King's will, your mother sent him off with his family. I am not sure which world it was. Many people died during the initial attack. They did not just attack Alastine either but all countries suffered the same fate. When asked why they were attacking, they said it was to purge a world that raised a threat to this universe." Wendy briefly explained. 

Alicia looked at all the people around her staring at her in confusion. The battle was abruptly stopped by her creating a barrier around them. Letting out a sigh, Alicia wrapped her arm around Wendy's waist and said: "Hold on."

Wendy quickly held on to Alicia as she felt her body leave the ground. Alicia flew up into the air and stood above the massive army that was fighting against the invaders. "Citizens of Phantasia! I, Alicia Gabriel Alastine, Crown Princess of Alastine, have returned! On my title as a Princess and my honor as a knight, I promise to end these dark days! I will return Phanatias back to its peaceful times. If you have felt despair, I will bring you hope. I will not allow these people who destroyed your lands, your kingdoms, and your homes to get away with such evil deeds. Once I purge this world of these invaders, I will then destroy every planet involved in this attack!"

Everything was quiet after Alicia finished talking. Not because they were doubtful of Alicia's words but because she had returned. A figure of worship for many had finally returned after five long years of fighting. She had returned to free them from their plight. Slowly a loud cheer could be heard coming from the millions of people below. This cheer was chanting Alicia's name. The Hero of Phantasia had finally returned! Many of these people only heard of Alicia's deeds through word of mouth while others had witnessed it with their own eyes. Her achievements were many which made her kingdom Alastine the most powerful kingdom in the world. Their faith in her words was enough to believe a new sun will rise soon and will disperse the darkness.

But this cheering was interrupted when a voice sounded out from the other side of the barrier. "Those are big words coming from a little girl."

"Whether they are big or not, only time will tell. But I can promise one thing. A mere peak realmed true god is not one to talk."
