Child from the Dungeon

Chapter 28: Area Alter

Area Alter Magic is dimensional space-type magic that requires a lot of Mana for this magic alters the very concept of Space.

This very magic is commonly known among the Royal Descendants of the Royal Houses, for generations they passed this very magic to their descendants, perfecting it and glorifying its name for this is the magic that made the Royal Houses 'the' Royal Houses.

As we all know, the base concept of this Magic is to alter an area to the User's Domain, the Domain which reflects the user's own very characteristics, attributes, and desires as they manifested, imprisoning both the user and the target inside, ensuring total victory to the User for this magic is meant to overwhelm any enemies.

Because of that, the Royal House's very descendants kept this magic ability a secret from the public or rather, forbid any commoner outside their circle from learning it for this magic technique is meant exclusively for them.

( Back to the Present. )

" This is !!!!! " Rodrigo says as he now is trapped in Irina's Area Alter Magic.

As it happened, the world around turns black, as it then slowly shows the Altered Area where Rodrigo can see his surroundings are bronze crystal ores, sharp crystal golds, and a golden mountain that looks like a dragon.

" Welcome ... "

< Area Alter Magic: >

" ... To my World ... "

< Mountain of Ground Riches >

When Irina welcomes Rodrigo, Rodrigo then doesn't waste time as he begins to attack Irina with his attack, but in his effort, Irina already anticipated it as she summons many things made from her earthly altered area which made Rodrigo have a hard time dealing with it.

As she does that, Irina puts her still fainting husband on a nearby bedrock that she crafted for him, making it so soft as the bedrock is somehow a bid elastic thanks to her unique ground magic trait that can increase or decrease the hardness of any kind of rock.

" There there my dear ... " she puts Duncan there as she pats him for being so tired.

She then wipes his hair, knowing how hardworking he is to condition her during her very disastrous Dragonic Possession.

" Take some rest, you've done many things today," she says as she knows what Duncan just do to turn her back to normal during that time while she looks at Rodrigo as it can be seen that the guy is now being stabbed by the sharp rock that her area crafter to attack any opponents nearby.

Seeing him, Irina then decides to bring the larger rocks to attack Rodrigo as she then crafts many large rocks to stomp that Warblade Guild member down as she is now tending her husband for she can sense that he is now waking up from his recent slumber.

" I ... rina ... "

" Hey .. darling ...!!! "

" Being so lately drained, are you fufufu? " she asks him, for she teases him for being so tired after practicing one of the Royal Houses' magic.

" Yeah I am ..., guess you royals really love to exert your mountain amount of Mana so much, aren't you love ..? " he replies as he looks at his hand, sensing his Mana returning for his body currently on the charging mode.

" You might say that .... "

" After all, most of our magic is meant to show the commoners like you our very might and glory back then. "

" But now, since there are many commoners that have the amount of Mana which can rival us and since there are many more effective magical techniques to use so ... "

" You can say that this old Royal magic is considered to be a waste of energy despite its many advantages. " Irina tells Duncan while she kisses his cheek.

" Yeah, I can see why it's a waste of energy. " Duncan replies while remembering his Sealing Magic performance earlier. The performance of ancient royal magic that is used to seal many beings, especially dragons back then.

" By the way, speaking of old royal magic.... "

" Hmmm... "

" Can I learn the Area Alter Magic too, since I am now on Tier V? " Duncan asks Irina which made her silent as she then responds by pinching his nose, telling him.

" NO, YOU CAN'T !!!! "

" You already learned one Royal Magic that can possibly make me into a normal common human yet you still want to master another powerful Royal Magic? " Irina asks as she refuses to tell him about it, for she tells that a person like Duncan is already too lucky to even learn one of the Royals' Magic.

While the two debated about that, suddenly Rodrigo shouts as he bursts out, destroying the rocks that bind him as he now shows himself more ripped and muscular than before.

Seeing that, the two then prepares themselves, even Duncan though his Mana still had more time to recharge.

"( My physical movements have been recovered and it seems I now had the energy to perform some of my usual speed moves. )"

"( But the problem is my magic that is still recharging which I believe is still on its 25%. )"

During his thoughts, Duncan then wonders how Rodrigo survives Irina's altered area as he was sure that this area used to kill many powerful opponents during the first minutes.

" Wow, how did you survive, Rodrigo? "

" Did you use another artifact or something? " Duncan asked the Warblade member as he then smirks.

" What do you say? Artifact? "

" Hahahahaha .... "

" I don't need those ... " Rodrigo tells him that for he now prepares his stance as he charges his energy to perform something which Duncan initiatively tries to disrupt with his still-recovering body, leaving Irina behind as she calls him back.

But it is too late to stop Duncan for he already knows that if a mage is charging something in midst of battle, then it is common to quickly disrupt it since charge attacks are usually high damaging which is a risk that Duncan currently doesn't want to have as he quickly attacks the man.

< Wind Striker >

After doing that, Duncan sees that Rodrigo's body is still alright as his attack doesn't work but the attack gave him an insight into the reason why Rodrigo is unfazed.

"( Shield Magic dammit !!! )"

" Honey, can you give Rodri a little stomp here? " Duncan immediately asked Irina to give him heavy damage which Irina does so by summoning a large gold mountain rock above Rodrigo as she falls it off to him but sadly.

Rodrigo's shield enables him to crush the rock as it touches the very magical shield which made Rodrigo smirks again as he tells them that it is useless for his charge magic is almost ready.

" First of all, I must thank the Knight-Lady for having me in this very realm ... "

" For with this magic, I will give her the most powerful gratitude a guest can ever give. " Rodrigo says as his magical charge is currently on 87.98%.
