Chapter 20: Horned Wind Python

Berlin who also watched the whole scene let out a sigh of relief as well. He knew Alicia would not be able to win a fight against the earth rhino. Seeing how it was dealt with peacefully allowed him to relax. That was until a nine star horned wind python slithered its way behind Alicia. Berlin wanted to jump out but he dared not to since this was Alicia's training.

Alicia who had started running towards the middle of the Demonic Forest once again, ears twitched when she heard some rustling behind her. Even Loeri raised her head a bit and whispered: "Something is following us and it's not the dumb old man."

Alicia nodded as she whispered: "It's a snake and a big one at that. I just can't tell what kind of snake or what element it is because my magic is not strong enough yet."

"Alicia duck!" Loeri yelled out while pressing down on Alicia's head. Alicia quickly fell to the ground. A swooshing sound could be heard overhead as she watched some distorted air fly over and slice a tree in two.

Alicia felt panicked because if it was not for Loeri she would have ended up the same as the tree just now! Alicia heard a rustle behind her so she quickly turned around and formed a wall of wind as a shield. She could tell that the recent attack used wind so by creating a magic wind barrier she would be able to disperse the incoming wind attack. It was a good thing she did because the next second she was bombarded with wind magic over and over. With Loeri guiding her on which side the attacks were coming from she was able to quickly ward off each attack.

These attacks went on for almost ten minutes before they finally stopped. The one initiating the attack slithered out of the tree line and rose its head up high in the sky. The horned wind python looked very displeased to see its prey was still very much alive and kicking. It opened its mouth and shot out a ball of wind magic straight at Alicia. Alicia quickly braced herself as the impact of the ball of wind magic collided with her magic wind shield.

This ball of magic was more condensed than the wind blades so Alicia was gritting her teeth as she did her best to hold off the attack. There were fluctuations in the air at the point of contact between the magic wind shield and the ball of wind magic. The pressure the ball of wind magic was giving Alicia was getting hard to hold off so she could only bend her body back and deflect the attack up towards the sky!

Loeri did not miss the chance to sneak in a quick attack to help assist Alicia by spitting out a flame breath at the time the magic wind shield raised above them. The horned wind python did not expect the little rodent on top of the little human girl's head to spit fire so it did not react in time, taking the flames head on!

The flames spread quickly on the horned wind python's body. What shocked the horned wind python the most was that it was not able to put the flames out! The horned wind python started to panic and rolled its large body back and forth on the ground trying to put out the flames.

"Alicia, what are you waiting for? Attack it!" Loeri yelled out.

"But the flames..." Alicia did not dare go near the flames seeing how they would not go out and were spreading all over the horned wind python.

"You are contracted with me! The only flames you have to be afraid of is from an elder from my race! All other flames will never hurt you!" Loeri explained.

That was all Alicia had to hear as she shot forward with her sword. She used wind magic to boost her speed after getting the idea from the horned wind python. She now knew how it was moving so fast while it was firing off those wind blades. By boosting herself with wind magic Alicia's speed increased by ten times! With sword drawn Alicia's figure blurred as she danced in and out of the flames leaving deep wounds on the horned wind python's massive body. After many passes and leaving hundreds of sword wounds on the horned wind python. Alicia casted ice magic on her sword extending the blade two fold before rushing in once more, stabbing the horned wind python under its jaw right up through the top of its head. Blood squirted out all over Alicia and Loeri.

The horned wind python's whole body convulsed a few times before it finally stopped moving. Alicia fell back and sat on the ground. Sweat and blood dripped from her forehead. She kicked her feet out in front of her as she let out a laugh. "Ahahaha! Loeri thank you! Without you, I would have been in a dire situation!"

"Humph! If you want to thank me, give me a bath! How can you go and get me soaked in blood!?" Loeri who was on top of Alicia's head complained. Her once white scales now dyed red.

"Alright! I'm sorry! I also did not expect to get soaked in blood either but at least we are alive. I will make sure to get you back to being pearly white in a few. Let me dismantle this horned wind python first." Alicia said as she slowly got up.

Alicia walked over to the horned wind python and went to work on dismantling it. This process was tedious due to the length of the horned wind python. Alicia had to be careful not to damage the skin any more than it already had been since it can be sold at the adventurers guild for a decent amount of cors. This was especially so since this was a nine star demonic beast.

Alicia was almost done when she noticed a large shiny green object within the stomach of the horned wind python. "Huh, what is this?"

"A magic core!"
