73 Sora Takes Fligh (1/2)

”Wait for me! ” Shade said, running over to join Alice outside the castle where Lord Kira, Kayl and some other demons had gathered to see Alice off.

”It would not be wise to bring your familiar with you Alice, at least not yet. He would not be of very much help to you, in fact he may very well slow you down. If you want I can have him trained here with my best knights until he is strong enough to hold his own and not be a burden. ” Lord Kira said, trying to help her out.

”He is right, Shade.. You should stay and train I am sure that father.. Will do his best in order to help you gain strength. Not to mention I still want you to help look after Yumi. Next time I go to the Realm of the Gods I can always have Nyx send me back to see you and Yumi before going back to my journey. ” Alice said running over and hugging Shade tight not wanting to leave him behind but knowing if Lord Kira was right that Shade would be in danger almost all of the time.

”If that is what you want.. ” Shade said, hugging her lightly back feeling like a burden.

”You should get going while the sun is still up. With the money alone your travel time will be much slower than normal ” Lord Kira said, handing her things to her for her to carry.

Taking the large bag Alice deposited it into her system storage. ”It shouldn't be a issue now. ” She replied with a smile and took off into the sky before anyone could ask any questions.

Flying in the air high above the Kingdom she took a brief moment to look back at the direction of Samaria before flying past Kira's Kingdom and towards the mountains that seemed to divide the land completely.

Not caring to look around very much Alice sped up and punched through the clouds above the mountains. Coming out of a cloud her eyes widened to see a vast valley below her with waterfalls on the left and numerous monsters all around on the ground below as if no one has ever hunted them.

Getting distracted by the sight Alice narrowly avoided getting hit by a large bird similar to Kayl's familiar.

Not caring to fight with anything just yet Alice started flying as fast as she could, to her surprise the Bird was not very far behind her chasing her down.

Pushing her speed to the limits she flapped her wings hard causing the air to explode with a boom behind her as she accelerated her speed using her mana to give her wings a boost.

Looking forward Alice was forced to use her wind element to prevent the air from hurting her at this speed. Finally adjusting to the speed she was flying Alice began to realize the difference between a mortal and a demigod.

”I wonder how many years it would have taken me to reach this level of speed before becoming a demigod.. ” She thought before seeing smoke coming from the ground a ways ahead of her.

Withdrawing her wings Alice used the momentum of her flight to send her rocketing through the sky towards the smoke as it got close with every passing second.

Seeing a small number of people come rushing out of the houses with their weapons drawn in her direction Alice took her wings back out and stopped just short of their village and slowly landed on the ground putting her wings back up.

”I do not want to fight, I come from the other side of the mountains and just want some directions to the nearest Kingdom. ” Alice said, putting her hands up showing she didn't want to fight with her actions.

”I am sorry for drawing our weapons on you. We only knew that a large amount of mana was headed out direction at an incredible speed. To answer your question the nearest Kingdom would be Jorgen it is about 4 days travel from here. ” One of the men said, putting his sword back in its sheath.

”For you that means a few hours at most haha. ” One of the women said, pulling her gauntlets off and walking over to Alice to get a closer look.

”I just recently learned I could travel that quick as well, My name is Alice. ”

”What race are you Alice? You look human but fly like an Angel, have the mana of a demon and I cannot see any of your information even with my Goddesses blessing. ” The woman said, walking around Alice trying to figure her out.

”I am human.. ” Alice replied nervously.

”Then who is your God? ” She asked, still not introducing herself.

”Nyx. ” Alice replied with a smile.

”What is your status as her follower? ” She asked again.

”I am her apostille.. What is with all of the questions? ” Alice replied, getting a little annoyed.

”Hara, leave the girl alone. It is natural you cannot read her if she has that high of a rank with a mid tier Goddess. I am Alan, I am sorry if my daughter has troubled you with her rude behavior. ” Alan said, walking over and shaking her hand.

”It's alright, this is my first time to cross the mountains so I still don't know what to expect. ” Alice replied.

”Nyx has a temple in Jorgen which is growing in popularity lately since there has been news of Nyx having a daughter. They are even in the process of adding a statue of her next to Nyx as we speak. If you would like we could take you to Jorgen with us, we should be heading out in a few days. ” Alan said, offering their assistance to her.
