The entire floor was sealed. No one would be able to enter and leave this floor without her permission.
The whole area turned dark as a large amount of mana gushed out of Alice's body. It enveloped the entire room to the point that it offset Cluster's mana in the atmosphere of this room.
"What the-" Kan's eyes constricted as he saw this scene. He and Lim were stunned as they didn't expect this outburst of energy.
Although it wasn't liquefied, the amount of mana was simply unbelievable. It couldn't compare to Cluster but the mana she possessed surpassed those A-rank powerhouses. It was so dense that Kan and Lim imagined that it was liquefied, they only found that it was gaseous after taking a clear look at it.
After a few seconds, Alice stepped forward and revealed her appearance.
Kan and Lim subconsciously took a step back as their instinct was telling them to run away. They felt that they were in front of an apex predator.
Alice's hair color changed into silver and its end turned into light blue. Her skin tone was so pale that everyone who looked at her would think that she didn't have blood in her body, with the exception of her upper arms and legs which gradually turned into black. There were black fur-like things around her wrist that were fluttering like a dancing flame. Her nails grew longer and it resembled claws, and its color became black. Her irises turned into a slit with a red crimson ring around it. There was a pair of black horns on the side of her head and blue flames on the center of her forehead. A pair of black wings was sticking out of her back and a black tail that has a sharp tip that could pierce any metals.
"What the hell are you...?!"
Kan muttered in shock while looking at her appearance.
Lim stepped in front of Kan and looked at Alice with a wary expression. Even he felt danger leaking out of Alice.
"Be prepared as I'm going to use everything I could to defeat you..." Alice took a step forward and she added, "Rejoice, you're the first person to see this form of mine in this land."
Her demeanor changed greatly as they could feel confidence in her words. Black aura was oozing out of her body like a mist.
"Lim... Be careful." Kan said to Lim who was standing in front of him. He took a deep breath to calm his tense nerves. He was actually feeling nervous as it was his first time seeing someone like Alice.
Human? She's not clearly a human.
Demi? Her characteristics were not included in the archive of demis.
So what is she?
Suddenly, Alice vanished from her position.
"What?!" Kan's eyes constricted as he looked around.
Lim suddenly turned around and threw a punch behind him. At the same time, Alice appeared in that position and slashed her spear.
Boom!
Both of their attacks collided causing a powerful shockwave in the surrounding area.
Then, both of their figures flashed and collided in the mid-air repeatedly.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
They were so fast that Kan could hardly follow them with his eyes. "The hell is this fight...?" He muttered in shock. He realized that Alice didn't get that strong but her current strength was enough to fight a powerful A-rank like Lim.
Lim wasn't an ordinary A-rank. Among A-rank powerhouses, he could be considered as one of the top powerhouses. He was extremely fast and strong and he had a record of defeating three A-rank at the same time. Even their leader, Curdova, admitted that Lim was stronger than him.
'I need to support Lim as this is all I could do.' He thought to himself.
A figure flashed in front of him and it was Alice. Alice opened her palm and was about to grab Kan's head when Lim grabbed her wrist and punched her abdomen.
Bang!
Alice endured Lim's punch as her sharp tail flew towards Kan.
Swoosh!
Kan tried to move away but he realized that his left arm was rolling in the mid-air. Blood was spurting out of it and it dyed the ground in red.
"AHHH!!"
Lim roared angrily when he saw Kan's hand was gone. He grabbed Alice's shoulder and punched her in the face.
Alice wrestled with Lim. Their figures crashed in every direction causing the whole room to trembled.
[Dark Sweeper]!!
Ten black slashes flew and Lim jumped away to avoid it but it chased after him. It was a homing attack that will follow its target.
"I said I'm going to use everything!!"
[Heavenly Demon's Aura]!!
Black aura gushed out of her body and it circled around her. It strengthened her overall abilities to a higher level greatly maximizing her potential.
A large concentration of energy formed around her claw-like nails.
[Secret Technique: Heavenly Demon's Dark Claw]!!
She swung her claws downward and a large black energy blade followed it.
"Shit!!"
Kan cursed when he saw this technique that covered the entire room. Lim appeared in front of him and crossed his arm to block the skill.
"Lim!!"
BOOOOOM!!!
A large explosion occurred and the whole room trembled as if it was about to collapse.
[Secret Technique: Heavenly Demon's Dark Spiral]!!
A huge black ball formed in front of Alice and she threw it towards the direction of the two.
The giant black ball spun as it flew towards the two. The moment it hit a large explosion occurred greater than the one before.
BOOOOM!!
The part of the tower was shattered because of the sheer power of her skill. Even though Cluster's mana was strengthening it, her skill shattered the wall of the tower creating a large hole in it.
Smoke and dust covered the entire room. The wind blew from the hole and it dispersed the smoke and dust.
Swoosh!
Two figures were lying down on the center of a large crater. They were covered in blood and full of injuries.
Alice's wings flapped and she arrived in front of the two. She could see that Lim was already dead. There's no sign of life in his body anymore while Kan was barely alive.
"Ugh!!"
Blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth. Kan struggled as he approached the Lim.
"L-Lim... It happened... One of my comrades died in front of me again..."
He said with great effort. His voice was coarse and trembling. He raised his hand and closed Lim's eyes.
"I'm sorry... You had to protect me..."
Kan then turned his eyes and looked at Alice. "What are you?" He asked without care. He didn't expect that Alice would answer his question.
"A member of the noble heavenly demon race. The daughter of Great Demon Emperor Lucifer, one of the Three Demon Emperors of the Demon's Land. I am Alicia Remeri Lucifer, the third princess of the Heavenly Demon Palace." Alice paused for a moment. "And now, you will die at my hands."
"Hahaha, damn! A demon from legends is real... That's why I couldn't recognize your characteristics..."
Kan laughed lightly.
"Fuck! Everything that happened to me is so fucked up! Hahaha! Still, I'm glad that I joined this group!"
He looked at Alice and said seriously, "Since I'm going to die anyway I won't mind answering your question."
"Why did you kidnapped Cluster? What do you want from her?" Alice didn't hold back and asked.
"Oh? That girl... So you're here for her. That girl possessed power that you couldn't imagine. She's a weapon of war, the Grimoire of Spell, the Thousand Spell." Kan paused for a moment before he added, "I'm going to warn you. That girl is a possession of the True God's Holy Kingdom. They won't let her go after this incident. So if you want to stay with her be prepared to confront that giant kingdom."
"I see... Thank you for answering my question even though I'm your enemy." Alice said.
"Hahaha! It's nothing! You're here for your friends and I'm here for my friends too. We're the same but with different circumstances. Cluster, that girl, is the leader's daughter so if you managed to take her back I just hope that you will not treat her badly. She already experienced a lot of hardship at that age." Kan paused for a moment and said, "Okay, now kill me. I don't have anything just swiftly kill me."
Alice raised her hand and her energy gathered on her claws. She then swung it downwards.
"Dying at the hands of legends from folklore isn't bad compare to dying at the hands of those spiteful bastards."
It's his last words before he lost his life at Alice's hands.
Alice placed the bracelet on her wrist and her appearance turned back to normal. She sighed and muttered, "Life is really unfair..."
Once again she recalled the words of her butler, Sebas. She should find trustworthy people here that she could call a friend.
People who wouldn't mind about her race.
People who would support her.
People who trusted her.
"Sebas, I think I've found those people..."
