Chapter 370 - The Atlantian Royal Siblings (2) (unedited) (2/2)
Dimitri was processing the words Carrick had just said and had a conclusion.
'Do you mean that my dark magic is something like a dimensional magic?' Dimitri asked.
'You are correct.' Carrick replied. 'It was only called dark magic because it is colored black, but the context of it is that the dimension is a kind of space you have built. It is a high from of magic like light magic, and only a handful of people from the royal bloodline can master. The space you can create also depend on the magic power you have. Meaning while you increase your magic aptitude in time, then the dimensional magic you can create expands. I believe with your current magic right now, you can enclose a tenth of this area in your own dimension. And everything inside will be under your will.'
'Meaning I can pinpoint where Patricia is hiding, correct?' Dimitri asked.
'Yes.' Carrick replied. 'But maintaining the dimensional magic will take a toll on your body. I suggest you do not surpass ten minutes.'
'I only need to put a small area into my dimension.' Dimitri said. 'Can I do that?'
'It is much harder to contain a small portion that to let lose. But I think you do not want to endanger the others because you are still not used to using dimensional magic.' Carrick said. 'Your time limit is five minutes at best.'
'That is plenty of time for me.' Dimitri replied. He was sure to get Patricia in that time span.
'I will be here to guide you then.' Carrick smiled.
Dimitri then concentrated. This was his first time to enclose a location with his dark magic. In the past he only made small black vortexes to suck enemies, but now he needs to do it at a much wider space and he needs to contain it within a small area.
A black ball started to appear in the air and it was getting larger by the second. Dimitri acknowledged Carrick's words, letting the black hole lose was easier than containing it at a small space. Little by little, the area was engulfed in pitch darkness.
'Just a little more.' Dimitri thought. He did not want to let his dimension stretch to where there are other people because he was still afraid of he cannot bring back the once that were sucked inside his dimension.
When he thought the size was enough, he stopped. He was astonished with what he had just done. He had the area they were in inside his dimension. His consciousness can feel three beings inside, those three were none other than Leticia, Carrick, and Patricia. All the surroundings were pitch black. The snow storm that Patricia had conjured does not exist in this dimension, even the terrain a while ago was nowhere to be found.
'You have done it. Now you have five minutes.' Carrick praised. 'Now go get her!'
”Yes.” Dimitri replied. He then linked to Leticia's mind who was in his dimension. 'Leticia…' He called out.
'Dimitri?' Leticia said in confusion. 'Is this your doing?' She asked in curiosity.
'Yes, Carrick taught me how to use my dark magic. Well, it is more of a dimensional magic.' Dimitri replied. 'Just stay where you are. I am still not used to using this magic. It will be safe to stay in your location for now. I will be getting to Patricia.'
Dimitri rushed towards the location of Patricia. Not long he saw Patricia looking around in confusion.
”You…!” Patricia yelled after seeing Dimitri.
”It is over Patricia, just surrender.” Dimitri said. ”You have no power here. Everything inside this dimension is under my control.”
Patricia grumbled and her face distorted in anger. But then her expression changed with a defeated face.
”You are right. I think this is my loss.” Patricia replied with a low voice. ”All of I done is for naught. I only did this because of the injustice I have suffered by the hands of that b*stard king of Jennovia.”
”Then surrender.” Dimitri had said. ”I do not wish to kill you, because you are my blood related sister. But if you continue, then I have no other choice but to take your life.” He said firmly.
”You are our half brother, Leticia had said. Looking at you now… you really do look like father.” Patricia looked at Dimitri straight into his eyes. ”When I heard about you I was but a young teenager. I am sorry if we siblings have done nothing to save you back then. We were powerless at the face of our father.” She said with a sad expression.
”I have no qualms at what happened in the past.” Dimitri replied in a flat tone. ”But if you surrender now, then at least his majesty might spare your life and will only imprison you. I believe Leticia would give a few words in your favor. I too can help you a little, at the expense of us being blood related.”
”Thank you.” Patricia said with tears on her face. ”Then I will surrender.”
Dimitri took a step near Patricia to detain her.
”I will only surrender if I am dead.” Patricia said with a menacing tone. She pulled a hidden dagger inside her dress and stabbed the unguarded Dimitri in the stomach.
”Ugh…” Dimitri took a step back and held his bleeding stomach and knelt on the ground. Patricia was standing beside him with a sinister grin.
”You should have died years ago.” Patricia said. ”I will just give you what you deserve. DIE!”
”No!” Leticia shouted.
When Patricia was about to stab Dimitri in the heart, Leticia pushed her hard. Because Dimitri was hurt, he was not able to hold on to his dimension. The dimension quickly disappeared and the old terrain came back. When Leticia pushed Patricia, she was at the edge of an earth pillar. Patricia fell down.
”NOOOOO!!!” Patricia screamed until a splash was heard and cut off her voice.
