Chapter 229 - A Fierce Battle (2/2)

At first Dimitri was scared of such a strong power that can devour anything in its path. But fortunately, Regaleon's mother was the former head of the mages in Atlantia and was a great magic user. She helped him control this ability. And even after her death, Dimtri honed this ability but seldom uses it because of the fear of being out of control.

'I guess this is the best time to use this magic.' Dimitri thought and concentrated while defending from Jeremy's attacks.

Jeremy was relentlessly attacking Dimitri when he felt something chilling. All of the hair on his body stood up in alarm and he can feel fear but doesn't know why.

By that time, Dimitri's shadow under him started to widen. Little by little, it spreads around him and was swallowing anything it touches.

”W-What…” Jeremy saw this and was alarmed. ”T-That is… darkness…”

Jeremy knew of this attribute in his studies under an Atlantian mage. He knew it but this was the first time he came across someone that wields such strong magic attribute.

”Clara! Get back, get back to a safer distance. NOW!” Jeremy shouted.

But it was too late for him. The darkness has reached his footing and he was sinking slowly.

”B-Brother!” Clara shouted in fright.

Regaleon was running fast to catch the escaping queen. The queen's group was able to get to shore while he was looking for a way to cross the water.

”Your majesty, let me.” Some of Dimitri's men accompanied him on the chase.

The man put his hand on the wooden ledge of the ship, not long the wood grew into branches and made a wooden bridge towards the river shore.

”Thank you. Let's get going.” Regaleon ordered.

Regaleon and his men continued their pursuit with the queen's group. All Regaleon was thinking now is not letting the queen get away. If he was able to get the queen, he can use her as a wager against Jennovia and his son Prince Gladiolus.

'Having her as a hostage can stop this war sooner than expected.' Regaleon thought.

Regaleon and his men reach the river shore when they were attacked by magic user. His men defended him from the attack and fortunately no one was hurt.

”You are so persistent, young king of Grandcrest.” The queen came out from the shadows. ”Do you think you can catch me? I am afraid you will be the one that will fall here, King Regaleon.”

Queen Patricia was able to get to the safety of her men. Her guards consist of Atlantians that can use magic.

'Good thing Dimitri let me take some of his men.' Regaleon thought.

Both of the group are Atlantian magic users, making the fight equal.

”you are so confident on your words Queen Patricia. Let's just see who will fall tonight.” Regaleon gave out a smirk. ”Charge!” He yelled.

The fight started between the two groups. The sounds of swords clashing are heard and different magic attributes are used in the fight. Regaleon advanced step by step, swinging his sword and using his magic.

Queen Patricia was standing behind her guards that were defending her carefully. She had an irritated face seeing that Regaleon's men can stand their ground against her men.

”My queen, it is best if you flee from here.” One of her guards said to her.

”Hmm.” The queen nodded. ”Make sure to kill him.” She ordered.

”Yes your majesty.” The guard bowed his head.

When the queen was about to flee, a bright light from behind her flashed. It blinded the people around for a few seconds. When the light disappeared, the queen opened her eyes and looked behind her. She saw many of her men lying on the ground, some still standing but was visibly distorted.

”W-What just happened?” The queen was wide eye in surprise. ”Y-You… it can't be.”

The queen looked at Regaleon with surprise and fear.

”Do you know that power?” Regaleon asked. ”I also just found out I have such magic attribute and I am still new in using it. But judging by your fallen guards, I was able to use it quite well.”

”Light magic?!” The queen said with uncertainty.

Light magic is an attribute more on the defensive side rather than offense. It can be used to heal wounds and injuries. It can also boost stamina and cure ailments such as poisons and the like. What Regaleon did now was to drain the stamina of the queen's guards. Those that are lying on the ground were unconscious after their stamina ran out. The ones that are still standing have stronger stamina and could withstand Regaleon's attack.

'I expected this.' Regaleon thought.

Regaleon's light magic surfaced just after Alicia was abducted. He was not yet used to using this kind of magic and no one was there to teach him how to. He self studied and this was the result.

”You… I will kill you here and now before you become an even more threat!” The queen yelled in anger. She raised her hand and the earth beneath them trembled.

There was an earthquake and the ground started to split in two.

”You will die here King Regaleon of Grandcrest!” Queen Patricia used her magic to tear the earth under them open.

Regaleon and his men were in a critical location. The ground underneath them was splitting apart. The queen's unconscious men fell on the cracks.

”Stop! Your men are falling.” Regaleon shouted but the queen acted as if she didn't hear anything and continued.

”Damit!” Regaleon cursed. ”Disperse out. Don't let yourself fall.” He ordered.

Regaleon looked at the queen that was looking at him with a piercing gaze.

'I need to stop this lunatic and fast.' Regaleon thought as he was thinking of a way out of this predicament.
