《Collision of Myths》Counterattack pt 1
Advertisement
Not far from the east kingdom.
“ Alright listen up you all, since the first strike didn’t go so well( don't say anything) we'll have to go while their guard's down. Don't forget that it's paramount that we overthrow the east kingdom before they recover and regroup with the other kingdoms. We can't afford to have any setbacks. You all begin the summoning process. The rest of you come with me. We're going to search for that Drake brat and most importantly, Alicia Rand Philistine.”- Torque
Within the east kingdom
Felix was walking through the hallways after going through a heated debate between Alicia. He temporarily ended the debate with a need to get some water
“ That woman, that lunatic. I swear, the demons of either world have nothing on her. And she's supposed to be the reincarnation of some goddess, if that's the case in the world truly is coming to an end. There is no way that I'm staying in the same room as that woman. Soon as I get some water I'm going back to my brother's room. Now where is the kitchen?”- Felix
As Felix was moving around grumbling to himself, he came across an open square and happened to find the four princesses training. They had yet to notice that he was there watching their every move .
“ Come on girls, you're not putting in any effort. Laura, you're still not sharpening your swordsmanship. Even if you have a multiple amount of weapons, it won't help if you don't have strong fundamentals. Launa, you're still a little too slow when it comes to handling that heavy sword.You already have Incredible strength, now focus on increasing your speed. Luna, those rings are only limited to your imagination. You have to become more loose with your thinking. The more thought you put into your rings, the greater the power you'll be able to unleash. Lucy, you have to increase the amount of time you can maintain your armor. It has great power, but it can only last for a certain period of time. If you want to become more adept at using it, then I suggest you tried putting more physical fitness in your regiment.”-Felix
“What the- Felix. Is that really you?”- Laura
“ Well, well, well if it isn't the youngest hero in the history of the east kingdom.”- Luna
“ Luna, your don't be so rude. We haven't seen him in so long and your making us look petty.”- Lucy
“ Relax Lucy, he isn't the type of person to crack after a little teasing. How else would he have stolen our hearts.”- Launa
“I’m surprised your hearts are still set on me. Especially after so many years and in addition to the recent development.”- Felix
“Yeah, we’ve noticed you seem to have a tendency to find trouble. “- Laura
“ And your even a bigger ladies man than when you were younger.”- Launa
“ Hey, it's not like I can help it. Females just flock to me like mosquitoes.”- Felix
“ Not even the the grave can hold them back.”- Lucy
“Apparently, so why don't you tell me your story and I'll tell you mine.”- Felix
Felix spent most of his time communing with the princesses and learning more of their adventures. While this was going on Alicia moving around the hallways searching for Felix.

“Seriously, that Felix. He dares refuse to stay within range of my sight, and now he sneaks away under the pretense of getting water? He is so lucky that I can’t harness my magic without him.
As she was sulking and complaining, she walked by some guards that were on patrol. She was still in here nightwear so they couldn’t help but stare. They grew jealous of the fact that Felix had such amazing luck with women. Alicia made her way to an open balcony. As she was standing there, she couldn’t help but reminisce about the old times when she ruled her own nation. Unfortunately, she was shaken out of her thought by the sound of several loud roars. It didn’t take long for her to figure out the source of the sounds.
Meanwhile, in another part of the castle.
“Felix, did you hear the sound of those roars.”- Launa
“Yes I did. And I’m pretty sure I recognize those sounds. They match the sound of the demon beasts that I had the pleasure of coming to blows with when I just got here. I guess our foes didn’t take to kindly of being chased out of this kingdom.”- Felix.
“This is serious. From what I heard, those sounds came from all over the kingdom. Why would they risk so much just for this?”- Laura
“From what I can gather, they probably wanted to take out the kingdom while our guard is down. For them to go this far means they didn’t want us to have time to regroup with the other kingdoms. And considering that they’re army consists mostly of demons, I guess they can afford to spare some time for us.”- Felix
“Then I suppose the question for us is, what are we going to do about this? From what I gathered, just one demon beast is more powerful than most of our knights. It took all the strength of your father just to fight on par with one.”- Lucy
“Then we don’t have much of a choice. We’re going to have to divide and conquer. "- Felix
Right after Felix said that, he was interrupted by an explosion and what came out of it were more demon beasts.
“ Right after we deal with these guys right here.”- Felix
“ So this is the demon beast that laid waste to our home? Hmph, it doesn't look like much.”- Launa
“ Jeez, just the sight of this thing makes me sick to my stomach.”- Laura
“ Then the best option is to eliminate them quickly.”- Lucy
“ Geez, to go through all this right after we come back from our mission, how annoying.”- Luna
“ Yeah well, that's how life works. At least my life.”- Felix
With all that said, Felix summoned Hercules strength and the nemean armament and got ready in a fighting position as the demon beasts closed in.
“Nemean impact”
“ Explosion”
“ Limitless blades”
“ Meteo cannon”
“ Force blast”
Felix and Launa both take the head-on approach against the first two, Felix with a deadly strike and Launa with powerful sword strike. Laura takes on the other two by piercing them with blades, leaving them immobilized. Lucy and Luna finish them off with a blast from her weapon armor and power ring.

“ Well that wasn't really worth a warm-up”- Launa
“ Good coordination everyone. You're all definitely stronger than when we last met.”- Felix
“ Of course. It wouldn't do for us to be weaker than our future husband.”- Luna
“ Still going with that huh?”- Felix
“ As if we're going to let you get away that easily.”- Laura
This momentary relief was interrupted by the sound of more demon beasts.
“ Looks like break time is over. Time to go back on the offensive.”- Felix
As Felix summoned his club he was thinking of where Alicia was and how he was supposed to reach her.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the castle.
Alicia was growing frantic. As soon as the explosions occurred, she knew that it to be a massive summoning. She figured it had to be the work of those sylvanians. With that,she began to speed through the hallways searching for Felix so she could use her magic.
“ Darn that Felix! This is exactly why I told to stay close! He may be able to take care of himself, but unless he unseals my magic, I'm sitting ducs. I swear when I find him!
As Alicia continued to demean Felix while she searched, she caught sight of some shadows moving over the walls.
“ Alright everyone, our mission is simple while all the demon beasts are attacking, we enter the castle to capture the queen and most importantly, take out Alicia Rand Philistine.”- Torque
“ Ohh, so I've gained that much animosity in a couple of days?”- Alicia
“ Whaaa? A-A-A-ALICIA!”- Torque
“ Long time no see.”- Alicia
Dang it! We erased our presence! How did you know?”- Torque
How? I'm the queen of all mana remember? My eyesight can practically see the flow of mana in the air.”- Alicia
“ Dang it! Fine, whatever. This just means that we'll have to accelerate our plans. To begin with our main target was you. Now we can begin our main attack. Men, begin formation!”- Torque
““““Right”””””- cohorts
“Zakio Summon”
A massive summoning circle appeared above them. Out of them came 5 demon beasts. They were similar to the other demon beasts but slightly bigger and sharper.
“ Behold the zakio. These demon beasts have been well trained and have a lot of experience. They may not have been of much consequence to you before, but after a millennium, we've perfected the art and can now summon more deadlier ones than this. I might not be able to myself, but my masters easily can. This is the power that we've acquired in your absence. This is the power of Sylvania.”- Torque
“ Hey genius, while you busy monologuing I already finished gathering my mana.”- Alicia
“ Eh.”- Torque
“ Try to gain some common sense in your next life.”- Alicia
“ Gigas Lightning”
Alicia gathers a ball of lightning and sends it at the nearest demon beast. It looked like it would do some damage. Unfortunately, when the spell ended, they're was little to no damage.
“ Um, he looks pretty fine to me.”- Torque
“ Well ehhh( Crap, I completely forgot that without Felix and that kiss, I'm completely helpless)l-looks like that thing is more resilient than I thought.”- Alicia
“ No, I'm pretty sure that the magic was just weak. Well, not like I'm gonna try and wrap my head around it. ZAKIOS, KILL HER.”- Torque
“ Eeeek, hold on! Time out, time out!”- Alicia
With her weakness exposed, Alicia had to keep her distance stay on guard as she avoided the demon beasts that were chasing her relentlessly. As this was going on Felix had already finished his fight and was searching for her.
“ Figures she's not in her room. With all that's going on, I'd be surprised if she ignored it. Looks like I'm going to have to that. May as well see what everyone else is doing.”
( Perception)
Using the Chinese myths, it granted Felix the third eye, which allowed him to see and everything that was going on in the castle. He saw all the princesses he left had found other battles to fight. He glimpsed his father leading the guards and pushing the demon beasts back. He saw Reyna using the blades of chaos with such grace and skill alongside his siblings who were using the weapons he gave them to good use. Then he saw the queen and his grandfather with her remaining children also taking part in the madness. All in all, the battle was pretty much at a stalemate. With that information out of the way. Felix focused on finding his former target.
“ Now where is that woman. Surely she shouldn't be this hard to--- ah jeez. She really is more trouble than she's worth.”
Meanwhile, Alicia was being pushed to a corner. She was giving her all to dodge and having little to no magic wasn't helping. One of the zakio beasts was closing in as it readied a punch, a massive arrow came from above and pierced its body. Alicia couldn't believe her luck.
“ Wha-what happened? Where did that arrow come from?”- Torque
“ Once again problem girl, you seemed to have dragged me into your problems, again.”- Felix
“ Felix! What kept you? Here I am fighting for my life while you’ve been fooling around! Didn’t I tell you not to leave my side? You know what, forget it, just hurry up and get down here. We need to kiss, so quit wasting time.”- Alicia
“ Excuse me, just who do you think you’re talking to? I am not some servant boy you can just order around and spit on at your leisure. Whether I kiss you or not is something I decide for myself and quite honestly, I don’t think if I want to.”- Felix
“ARE YOU KIDDING ME! THIS IS NOT THE TIME FOR THIS! HURRY UP AND JUMP DOWN SO WE CAN KISS!”- Alicia
“I don’t think I’m desperate enough to bring in an unknown variable. Especially one whose only amazing power is her bratty mouth.”
“HEY”
This back-and-forth banter continued for over 5 minutes while the Torque and his group their completely ignored.
