Well, it's about time I start cranking out these last two fantasy AU chapters.

Chapter cover- Cortney practicing using her cursed sword power.

Sc4- Magiaka

After spending a few days in town, we decide to leave for wherever the road takes us. I haven't told the others what happened in the dungeon yet, but there's shouldn't be anything to worry about. Before we get too far, Sis catches us.

"Cortney, I may have an idea for where you should go next," Sis says before pointing down the road, "You should get yourself registered as actually adventurers. You can do that at the next town." I remember Dad telling me about that, being an actually registered adventurer means we can take on some serious quest and make some real money.

"Sure, thanks for the tip, Sis. See you later." I wave Sis goodbye as she returns to her tower, and we make way to the town she mentioned.

"Hey, since we're going to be traveling together, it would probably be a good idea to learn some things about each other." Pony brings a good point, we really don't know a lot about each other or our combat abilities.

"Good Idea Pony, I should go first I guess. I'm anti-magic Demihuman," To show everyone what I mean, I transform my arm revealing my true self, "This thing around my eye is a seal, to keep my power in check, I can stay in my demon form for a few minutes without it, but eventually I'll start suffering a lot of pain."

Himiko opens up her cloak to reveal how much space it has, "I'm your thief, I can lockpick, steal, or whatever you need me for." Himiko then shows us how she fights, throwing a few daggers at the spot into a tree and her close combat skills.

"I'll go next," Pony floats a few feet of the ground, "I'm a pegasus, so I can fly but other than that I don't really have anything special about me. But, I'm crack shot with a bow, and I can even brew novice potions." Pony show Axel and Himiko the health and poison potions she made earlier.

"As you can see, I'm a dragonkin, so I can take a hit and breath fire." Out from Peace's smile are some sprouts of fire, after Peace the last one up is Axel.

Axel stops at a tree, we wait to see what he's going to do, after a second Axel jabs the tree and leave a very noticeable fist-shaped mark on the tree, "I've been training as a monk, and you can see what my training has done for me, I can also heal minor wounds through my chi."

It takes us a minute to get our thoughts out due to that sudden display of strength, after that we continue to learn more about each other until night falls, where we break for camp and I take the first lookout.

While everyone is asleep, I take out my sword to see how it allows me to use magic and get used to it.

"All right Rick," I give my sword a name, so I won't need to call it cursed sword every time I want to talk to it, "Tell me how you're able to cast magic."

"Like I said, I'm converting your anti-magic into useable magic for spells, but we can't go any further until I'm bound to you." It tells me.

"Bound? What you mean bound?"

"I'm still linked to my old owner, and not calibrated to your magic, I need your blood so I can bind myself to you." It explains I know it can't take over me so I don't need to worry about that.

"Fine...this better not need a lot of blood." I cut open the tips of my finger on my right hand before grabbing my sword again. My finger soon starts to heal, so I hope Rick got enough.

"Alright, my power is now yours, let's get to work." I spend the rest of my shift learning how to add Rick to my fighting style and magic as well before switching out with Axel.

The next morning, we pack up and make way for the town but it seems that we're doomed to be attacked by bandits. This time it's not just a simple ambush, as we're walking along the road we all step in magic mines holding us still.

"Holy moly!" One man exclaims upon seeing us, right now I only see two bandits. Both are wearing the standard bandit garb, so there must be someone else who did this.

"Minxs just bagged us the jackpot." Minxs, that must be the person responsible for this spell.

"Remember our bargain," A female voice retorts, and now I see the mage who put up this spell. It looks like a girl my age with purple hair, she's wearing a purple dress, under it is a leather vest. In her left hand is a wooden staff holding a gray crystal.

"Amazing, a pegasus and dragonkin," Minxs goes to take a closer look at Pony, "I heard that Pegasus and unicorn horns have incredible healing properties." That's my chance to open my right eye and free myself,

I draw my weapon and drop the two bandits before they can do anything, and turn my sight to the mage beating should dispel her traps.

"Ah, I see now...you're an anti-magic demon, I have ways of dealing with your kind." Minxs points her staff at the ground and deep fog suddenly rolls in. I try to dispel this as well but nothing.

I keep my guard up and try to pick up Minxs' mana, however it looks like Minxs is surrounding me on all sides, that what she meant. I can't disable all this without exhausting myself, I can only disable so much magic in a short amount of time, so I just have to rely on my instincts.

"I'll give something...this is some impressive use of magic, but you still have to fight me." I point out how she hasn't really attacked me yet.

Out from nowhere, a tendril trips me to my butt. I roll out the way of another about crush me and get back to my feet. As long as I'm in this fog, Minxs has complete control over this fight, I need to try something in order to win.

"Get ready Rick," I raise my sword to the sky and it's covered in blood-red magic, I created a fireball above myself before jumping out the way Minxs attack.

"How is that possible?! You shouldn't be able to cast magic!" Minxs is shocked at my own magic skills.

"I've always been a bit unique." Is all I tell her, "You better brace yourself-" My fireball begins to fall and I use my sword knock it into the sky making it bigger.

I jump and chase after it, once I get high enough, I bat down with my sword, "Nova Crash!" When it lands a bit of the area is scorched but I got rid Minxs' fog, I find her hiding behind a shield spell. I dash in front of her and slice her spell in half, leaving her defenseless.

"Let my friends and I might let you go off unharmed." Before Minxs can say anything, a portal appears beneath her, it looks just like the one, the woman made when she saved the bandit leader at the Dragonkin home. I try to catch Minxs before it's too late but just barely miss her.

"Are they all working together?" I question what that woman's goals are.

"Cortney, are you alright?" Pony runs out from a bush to my right and checks on me, but I thought they were captured next to me as well, so what are they doing there?

"Once that fog rolled in, we couldn't see a thing, and next thing we know we're free somewhere else." Peace explains what to them before taking in the area.

"What happened here?" I sheath my sword and decide to blame it on Minxs, I still don't think I'm ready to tell them about Rick yet.

"That Mage girl, Minxs tried to roast me with a fireball, I threw it right back at her. But, she got saved by that woman we met at the Dragonkin's' home." I see Peace and Pony get a bit worry, while Axel and Himiko look on in some confusion.

"I think we should ask about the bandit problem, once we reach the town because something is going on," I suggest our next move, and everyone is on board.

"We better get going before, we're forced to camp."

Writer: That's all I have, for now, leave a review for my fic so far. In other news, I'm writing a small crossover arc for my other fic, Team DEMI Takeover and I'm writing a spinoff called Tales from U.A. High, think of it like My Hero Smash. Keep for a lookout of that some time in the future. That's all I have, for now, remember to Go Beyond: PLUS ULTRA!
