Chapter 23 - Lost Gem

*BOOOM* the spell missed and made its way toward the opened street. And defining sound of sonic screech,

*AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH* the people who suddenly heard the incoming sonic spell screamed at the deafening sound that made them held their ears, one by one, market to market they fell unconscious or died like flies being sprayed.

Alden reappeared at the edge of the roof, he clung one arm to hold his fall, like a monkey. Alden shifted his gaze at the aftermath of the spell, watched as chaos fell inside the market, taking innocent bystanders.

Killing intent showed in his eyes. He again shifted his gaze back at the Princess whose already seems exhausted after using the spell.

~YOU. WILL. PAY. ~ he uttered slowly

Letting go of the roof edge. Alden sent his body falling like an arrow toward Princess Mable.

*SHAWWWWWWWWW*

Heavy breathing, the princess watch as her spell made this cruel result. Guilt held her chest. The princess worried face looked at the scene. But in that moment, she shifted her heavy burdened eye to Alden and decided to think about the matter later. Closing her eyes, she began to radiate a light blue aura that suddenly engulfed her body, then she disappeared.

*SHAWWWWWWWWW*

*BOOOM* And in that moment, Alden landed with a punch that created a web at where he hit. A residue of aura could be felt after a spell has been used is what's left, with a quick thought. Alden commanded

[system track her]

{affirmed command}

{tracking, Found. Inside the tavern.}

[oh no]

~MOX, ATTACK HER~ he shouted.

Inside the tavern, A blinding light appeared right in the middle of the tavern. A hoarse shout belongs to the humanoid shadow reach those within the tavern. As a command. Shadow Mox bolted its body at the person who just appeared. Sending its jaws straight at Princess Mable's head.

Princess Mable who predicted it, backed away at that attack, giving herself enough time to reach inside her waist and pull a small grape like gem. She threw it at Shadow Mox directions and shouted.

*SHIMMER*

*HMMMMMMMMMMMMM* A radiate red shine came from the gem, dullness as it was before now alive. The gem launched itself to the upcoming target. With an opened mouth the gem sent itself inside shadow mox.

While this was happening, Alden quickly appeared inside the tavern, within five metres away from the princess who's back is facing him, seeing that, he backflipped, his feats to the walls of the tavern, crouched down, suddenly launching himself towards the princess with all his might.

His speed far surpasses shadow Mox, close and close to the backing Princess, Alden arms suddenly transformed from normal to claws, five of his fingers turned long sharp like a blade attached to them. Alden is ready to take her head.

*PHAAAWWWWWWWWWWW*

Princess Mable who already anticipated the humanoid shadow appearance, fasten her pace, prying that her artefact speeds up the process as soon as possible. She knew if there is even a small miscalculates. Her head would be gone.

Determination filled her eyes, with this, she activated her next secrete item that was ready from the start, a short distance teleport stone. If her plan did not work, she was willing to abandon her prize the Grand Calcite Cage Gem, which she received as a rewards when she graduated from the magic Academy.

As the seconds passes by, her doom seems to be also the same, then suddenly she notices her prize gem is finally began to compress the creature. Shadow Mox who seem to not even care for itself quickly began to compress smaller and smaller as it almost reaches Princess Mable. Inches away from taking her head shadow Mox lost control from its body.

[SUCCESS] she thought excitedly, little regard to the next approaching doom. The Princess then shouted.

"SHIMMER COMPRESS"

"PEWWWWWWWWWW" from a creature suddenly to a gem shimmering light that's slowly dying. The Princess lost herself with excitement. Then her hair stood, her senses scream danger.

~Dare to take away from me? ~
