Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Alicia's face sank. She wondered why she needed to fight this old man. But her face sank even more when she felt the spirit pressure weighing down on her from the old man. She knew right then and there that the old man was very powerful. Alicia quickly drew her sword and watched the old man very carefully.

"Haha! Relax little lass, I will only kill you!" The old man laughed before he suddenly stepped into a rift and reappeared in front of Alicia striking down with his sword. Alicia quickly stepped back and waved her hand creating a distortion behind her, reappearing on the opposite side of the room. 

The two kept going back and forth disappearing and reappearing. The old man continued to laugh as if he had lost his mind. "I don't get it! You're not even dead, why would you set up this tower with its trials?"

"Why!? Because no one could defeat me! I as the god of time and space and have had no equal under the god realm! I have always wanted a fight to the death! To meet my end! For millions of years, I have waited here in this tower. For millions of years, I have been stuck at the peak of the god realm, not able to advance. I have never been able to even see the tiniest piece of the true god realm! I just want to die while in the height of battle!" The old man yelled out as he continued to swing his sword wildly. 

"So in other words you do not have an actual legacy but was instead looking for someone to fight that could keep up with you and finally kill you in the end." Alicia felt displeased. Was this truly what the old man wanted her to find in the wasteland of fire and ice? Was the item she was looking for truly here? 

"Haha, that is correct! There was nothing here, to begin with!" The old man let out a crazy sounding laugh as he disappeared once again. 

This time Alicia did not wait for the old man to reappear before disappearing and reappearing across the room. She waved her hand and created hundreds of distortion rifts in front of her. "One Thousand Continuum Blade!" Dancing in mid air as she waved her sword about thousands of sword rays flashed and disappeared only to converge at a single point. The old man reappeared to be greeted with the sight of thousands of sword rays. His eyes lit up as he did his best to block each strike. 

"Amazing! So young and even a realm below me, but is able to put me on the defensive like this!" The old man let out another crazy sounding laugh as the sword rays covered in the law of time and space and the law of wind sliced through his arms and legs leaving many wounds all over his body.

Alicia continued to send sword rays through the distortion rifts not letting up in the slightest. Until finally, the sword rays no longer contained any law of wind and were pure law of space and time. The law of time and space that these sword rays were made of were different from the previous ones. The previous ones were made to bypass any barrier while these sword rays were made to not only bypass the barrier but speed up anything they touched, making time pass and at an extremely fast pace. 

The old man who was suddenly hit with this new barrage of sword rays was confused as to why he stopped taking damage. "Little girl your damage has been slowing down! You can not kill me like this!"

"You say that my actions have become weak? Maybe you should check the spots where you have been getting hit!" Alicia did not stop her attacks as she yelled out.

Alicia knew if she did the old man would really gain the upper hand. But now with the fact that her sword rays were pure law of time and space, the old man's movements had begun to slow down. He was being hit with more and more sword rays. His old skin began to age further until it shrank down and stuck to his bones. It was only at this time that the old man realized something was wrong. He looked down at his old and withered skin in shock. With a faint smile, the old man stopped defending himself altogether. "It seems I am outmatched. Although you have a lower cultivation than I. It does not matter when your proficiency in time and space is higher than mine. Little girl, remember this well! The law of time and space if used correctly can overcome any adversary you may face. Also… I lied when I said there was no legacy. In the ring on my finger is everything I have acquired in my millions of years of life. This now belongs to you."

The old man stood tall and strong as multiple sword rays slashed through him down the middle. His body seemed to not be able to take any more as it collapsed to the ground before turning to dust. Only then did Alicia stop her attacks. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and floated to the ground before lightly planting her feet on the floor of the room. "Sadly it had to be this way. But this time around it was either him or me. But He hardly fought back. It was as if he wanted to die no matter what. Was he really waiting here all this time just to die?" 

Alicia couldn't help but feel disgusted by this whole thing. She did not like the fact that she was being used to commit suicide but she knew that if she did not fight back with everything she had she would have been the one to die. Alicia stepped forward and picked up the ring from the old man's ashes. She looked inside the ring and was surprised to see how much stuff was actually there. "These resources will surely be of help in the future."
