343 The Forbidden Area Part One (1/2)

Inside the throne room of Felinenia's castle. Alicia stood next to Queen Angelina with a black rock in her hand. ”You are saying that the people are gathering these rocks from outside the forbidden area?”

”Yes, it seems so. I also heard that the forbidden area has been expanding since before the barrier was put up. I would like your permission to go and investigate the area. I may be able to get rid of whatever is there that is causing the evil aura.” Alicia wanted to help the people of Felinenia since they have been so nice and accommodating to her and her friends.

”This...” Queen Mittens looked a little reluctant. ”It's not that you can't, it is just that… The thing that is down there is very powerful. It is said to be an ancient true god that was imprisoned on this world for its crimes. This evil aura is what is leaking out of the true god's body. I have no idea how strong you actually are but these true gods are forces that very few on Phantasia can fight against. I presume there are only a hand full or less that could.”

”I see… But for this to be happening even if I do not fight against this true god I can at least try to seal off the evil aura that is corrupting the lands of Felinenia.” Alicia just wanted to help in some way. She knew at some point and time the people of Felinenia would need to move from these lands due to the expansion of the evil aura.

”If you are able to seal the area off so that it can not expand any more that would be for the best. Try not to fight what is down there if you do not have to. I will have Meowskins lead you there.” Queen Mittens gave the go ahead. She did not want to have to move her people once the expansion of the forbidden area got too big.

”I will see what I can do.” Alicia replied, her eyes full of determination.

”Princess Alicia I wish to go with you.” Queen Angelina spoke up suddenly.

”You can if you wish. If anything happens I can always send you into my space along with everyone else.” Alicia knew if anything she could keep those around her safe. Since she could easily escape in an instant if she needed to. This was one of the advantages of having the ability to use the law of time and space.

”If you all are ready I will lead you to the forbidden area now.” Meowskins came forward and said.

At this time Alicia stood in front of the only gate leading into the forbidden area and frowned. ”Loeri, take Frey and the rest and enter my space. I am afraid as we go in deeper they will not be able to handle this dense devil qi. To think I would meet a devil cultivator here...” Alicia was quite surprised. She had an assumption when she first picked up the rock that the evil aura coming off it resembled devil qi. But now she knew for sure.

”That sounds. Good although Frey and I already have high cultivations the devil qi here is even oppressive to me...” Loeri felt sick just being near the forbidden area.

”Okay, then I will send you all in.” Alicia smiled and waved her hand sending her friends back into her space. The only ones who did not go into her space were Blake and Queen Angelina. ”If either of you feel sick please let me know, I will send you into my space right away.”

”I will make sure I do. Although I feel the oppression of the evil aura due to my race it will not affect me much. Vampires were once evil after all.” Queen Angelina let out a laugh.

”Blake what about you?” Alicia looked over at Blake, her eyes full of concern.

Blake only smiled and took her hand into his as he said: ”Do not worry if I feel sick at all I will tell you right away. But just remember, one day I will be stronger than you. I have just started cultivating but I also have the blood of both the gods race and the celestial race running through my veins. When that day comes I will be there to protect you from whatever comes our way.”

Alicia blushed and nodded her head before resting her forehead on Blake's chest. ”Ahem… Meow can not stand the area anymore so if meow is okay with it I will take my leave.”

Mewoskins seemed to be stuttering causing him to talk more like a cat than he normally would. His face was scrunched up, one look and you could tell he did not feel well. Alicia smiled and nodded her head. ”I thank you for showing us here. I will do whatever I can to stop the spread of the forbidden area.”
