Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Demon Forest

Alicia looked at the seven stars on the forehead of the water bear and wondered what god foot she had stepped on to suffer bad luck once she returned to the outside world. Berlin, who was quickly chasing Alicia, drowned his face when he saw the water bear. He was now happy that he had followed her! But he refrained from helping her because this should be a training mission for her. He won't help unless he's dead.

The water bear wasted no time opening its mouth and fired several water needles that pierced through the air at an incredible speed. Alicia reacted quickly and dodged to the side and watched the water needle shatter the tree in half as they passed through it almost unhindered. Alicia did not let this bother her as she quickly threw protection magic at herself and readied her sword.

"I don't know why you're so angry, Mr. Water Bear, but I don't mean to make you angry. So why don't we call it a ceasefire and I'll be gone soon?" Five-star demonic beasts and above were able to comprehend human speech. So Alicia asking the water bear for a truce even though it is abnormal is not something entirely wrong. If the water bear is only protecting its territory, it might allow you to pass through it. Unfortunately, Alicia's question didn't seem to be heard.

*Shew!*

The water bear once again roared and fired the water needle again. Alicia nimbly dodged them before firing five fire spears at the water bear. The action not only dodged his attack but also attacked him at the same time, causing the water bear to become even more furious. Seeing how the water needle did not hit its target, the water bear dodged the fire spear and then attacked Alicia.

Alicia remained calm. He was not as scared as he thought. He shouted to himself, "Kill him before killing me! Kill him before he kills me!" Alicia got into her calm state and readied her sword and charged forward.

Berlin, who watched everything from the side was nervous but astonished at the same time. Although Alicia can be considered an Infinity Star Witch because of all her Magi Points. He was young and inexperienced in real combat. The puppet he made for him to fight had no real intelligence. Seven-star water bears have the intelligence of a fifteen-year-old. So it's actually very clever! But from what he saw was a little girl who was now eight years old, going face to face with a seven star water bear like it was the easiest thing in the world to do!

Alicia did not know why, but she found the fight to be a lot of fun! He was able to move his body so freely thanks to the training he received from Berlin that he easily dodged the water bear's quick attack. Therefore, he decided to use this water bear to train a bit for the battle ahead! So each slice of his sword in the skin of the water bear was extremely shallow and would only spit out a small amount of blood.

The water bear's eyes exploded in anger. He knew that the little human in front of him was just playing around with him and using it as a training tool! Finally after being slashed once again by the little human, the water bear jumped away from him no longer wanting to attack him.

Seeing this Alicia felt a little disappointed because she was having fun. But he learned a lot from the exchange he had just made. He used wind magic to adjust his position in the air to avoid the barrage of attacks from the water. This made it seem like it was floating on the wind with every paw of the water bear passing by. But now seeing the water bear retreat, he knew the water bear was no longer interested in fighting. He simply lowered his head to the water bear and said: "Thank you for

exchange now. I've learned a lot."

The water bear snorted and gestured with his head for him to leave. There was no killing intent from the little girl all along. Although it was crazy not to make the little man want to go all out in the fight to the death. The water bear did not know whether he could kill him or not. It only wanted the little human to leave so as to erase his embarrassment of not being able to win against the little human.

Alicia lowered her head once more before waving at the water bear, sheathing her sword, and continuing on her way. Berlin, who witnessed the entire scene was shocked. He had never seen such a scene before! Man and for the sake of man were considered to be at war with demonic beasts. The demonic beast which was a twelve star demonic beast upwards which was one step away from becoming a saint beast was capable of taking on human form and hating humans to death. They fight against all men and for the sake of men all the time. But here there was some kind of mutual exchange between demonic beasts and humans! There was no battle to the death, just a simple sparring match!

Berlin looked at the water bear licking his wound and smiled. His body flashed and reappeared next to the water bear which surprised him. "I don't know why you stopped fighting with my little disciple, but I thank you for being lenient with him. In return, as a token of gratitude, I will heal your wounds." After finishing his words, a green light surrounded the water bear which initially frightened him but soon saw that the wound was slowly closing. The water bear gave a nod to Berlin before leaving.

"Dear Alicia, my daughter, you have shown so many amazing things since you first met. I wonder what you're going to show me next ..." Sighing and forming a smile on his face Berlin stared towards the sky. She wonders what the future holds for her new daughter and how she will react when she learns that she has adopted her without her knowledge. Not to mention she was now the Third Princess of Alastine Kingdom. Putting aside his thoughts, he chased after Alicia once again…
