163 Frost Flower Part Six (1/2)

Alicia did not know what to make of this demonic beast in front of her. It looked like a giant turtle with an ice covered shell and dark blue skin. Its face screamed friendly with the huge smile it had on and… the flower growing off the top of its head added on to this friendliness. The first impression of this demonic beast that Alicia got was ”Cute...”

”Alicia what are you standing around for! Move now!” Blake's voice broke Alicia out of her cuteness trance. It was only then that she saw the turtle demonic beast open its mouth and within it was a bright ball of light at the back of its throat.

”It can shoot beams!?” Alicia yelled out as she quickly used teleport magic to get out of the way.

No more than a few seconds later a beam of light left the turtle demonic beast's mouth destroying anything it touched. It was like Alicia's earlier attack only on a much smaller scale and the destructive power was only a little weaker. ”What the hell is this thing!? I never knew of any demonic beasts that can shoot beams.”

”It's a catastrophe ranked demonic beast. A recently evolved one as well. Seems your father did not realize it was in the process of evolving.” Blake's face fell looking at the demonic beast in front of him. A catastrophe ranked demonic beast was not an easy thing to handle. Especially a turtle one since the beam it just shot can be shot from within its shell at a much wider scale. ”This is troublesome…”

”I am going to teleport to its head and pluck the flower. It's pretty slow. So if we pluck the flower then escape we can just leave it here in the north.” Alicia said her thoughts out loud.

”If only it was that simple. Once it's woken up, it will now migrate away from the north. So we can not just leave this thing alone. ” Blake let out a sigh. Now that they have seen it they have to do something about it.

”No other choice then, I will get the flower and then fire the spell I used on the Ice Gorilla, get ready to heal my hands again.” Alicia frowned. She didn't think she would be using that spell again so early. But as she went to go teleport to the turtle demonic beast's head a hand grabbed her shoulder.

”No, you won't! That spell is a last case scenario! It has properties to it that slows the healing process and might even make it so you can not even wield a sword again. Are you trying to destroy your dream before it has even started? We have to think of another way.” Blake's expression was serious but his voice was filled with concern.

Alicia's shoulders sunk. She knew Blake was right. She looked over her head at the looming dark clouds, wishing she could see the blue sky and the sun. As her thoughts wandered a bit an idea suddenly came to her. ”I got it! Not sure if it will work because I will need to part the clouds but if it does we can probably take care of this turtle. But I will need to grab that flower first while I am preparing, Blake, can you try to keep its head from entering its shell?”

”I can try to use some earth magic to wrap around its head. I can only hold it for about a minute with how strong this demonic beast is. Earth magic is not one of my strong points.” Blake answered. Although he said earth magic was not one of his strong points just being able to create a large amount of earth to wrap around the demonic beast of this size's head, he could be considered one of the top earth magic users in the kingdom.
