Currently Rebooting

Finding the book for dense areas of magic is very hard I must say. Everything is categorized so horribly that after searching for around three hours, all I could find where five books. Three of the books where just about history and the other two where just maps of the world and showed some of the supposed mana flow of the world.

Constantly going through book after book resulted in nothing so I eventually decided to just look at the t.i.tles and go off of that. You"re never supposed to judge a book of its cover but for now it"s fine.

"Bestiary of the Clover Kingdom, Magics of History, Mana Control, Elves: Fact or fiction, History of Clover Kin- wait a minute." Rushing back to the one book about elves I quickly took it out and started reading through it.

I skimmed a lot of it but eventually one segment got my attention.

-As elves are loved by magic, so to is the environment they live in. It is theorized that when elves where alive they leaked out mana and the areas around them absorbed it and evolved into dungeon like areas that are full of mana and start showing exceptionally strong and dense mana. I call these areas Grand Magic Zones and there are four existences that we know of that can be cla.s.sified as Grand Magic Zones. The first one is the Seabed Temple which is below water and surrounded by a highly mana pressurized source of water; It sits underwater off the eastern coast of the Clover Kingdom. The Witches" Forest Is full of ginormous trees and is currently occupied at the time of writing by witches; It sits in the neutral area between the Clover and Diamond Kingdoms. Next the Ultime-Volcano Mountain Trail which is constantly erupting and gives rise to magical lifeforms out of lava; It is far off to the south of the Clover Kingdom. Finally we have the Gravito Rock Zone which contains large floating rocks and has a ever-present mist; It is on the far west of the Clover Kingdom.-

I quickly ran this book over to a table and dropped it down with this page still open. Then I rushed over back to one of the maps and brought it over to the table as well. From what I remember, the Witches forest is till being used by witches, the seabed temple has no clue about anything of the outside world, and the Mountain Trail is used as a constant training area by the Clover Kingdom. All this leaves the gravito rock zone as the last and only option.

Marking where I am and where I need to go on the map I started getting ready to head out. Peaking my head out of the library I saw that the two idiots where no longer there and no one else was around. I quickly ran out to the nearest exit that I new of.

Around eleven minutes of running brought me to the front door.

"Eric."

Hearing this I slowly stopped running and slowly turned around. Rill was just staring at me with his hand on his Grimoire as if he was prepared to battle.

"Eric. I"m not allowing you to leave and search for Fragil. We need to wait and start forming teams to prepare for whatever is happening."

"Rill just let me leave. You have to trust me. I know that if I don"t go stop it within a week then we"ll never be able to get Fragil back. Please... Just trust me."

Suddenly, Rill opened his Grimoire and said, "Eric. I can"t and won"t allow this. If we have to fight I will win."

With a sigh I just made a small ball of fire with a decent amount of mana.

"You sure you want to do this Rill? I"ve gotten much stronger then you would think possible."

Without even thinking Rill attacked first

"{Painting Magic: Deux Tempêtes of Fire and Ice}" casted Rill

Fire andice whirlpools came out of his painting and started heading towards me.

I pulled two anti-magic swords and got ready for them to get closer. When they where close enough to hit my face I backed up slightly and I hit both of them in quick succession,

The fire and ice hitting the blade dissipated and after holding it for nearly a second I started moving forwards to Rill. He saw this and started casting another spell while still supplying this spell with magic.

"{Painting Magic:Spring of Restriction}"

A small pond like area appeared below me and started sucking me in.

I couldn"t move my blades or else I would be hit with either the fire or ice. Seeing as I had no other choice I decided to cast one of my own spells.

"{Magma magic: Sun"s Drop}"

This spell made the ceiling above us heat up to such high levels that it would turn into a very hot liquid and start dropping to the floor. Rill nearly got hit with the first couple of drops and started to dance around so as to not get his.

I casted another magic in quickly to get him to stop moving

"{s.p.a.ce Magic: s.p.a.ce Lock}"

This froze a small area of s.p.a.ce in a circle that would make it seem like time was stopped and unless he stopped his spells to use a lot of pure mana to get out, he would be stuck there. Perfectly like I predicted, Rill stopped his other spells and started using pure mana to break the spell.

Usually one could break a spell by overpowering the mana being supplied to that spell. However since I had so much mana I just constantly supplied more and more mana to it so that with his mana he wouldn"t be able to do anything.

Seeing this Rill stopped trying to overpower my spell and casted another spell.

"{Painting Magic: Phantom Dragon Vouivre"s Shout}"

He casted this without using his painting tools like last time so that must mean he can do so without them but with some sort of cost. Maybe less strength in it, more mana needed, or something else I can"t think of. Maybe it has something to do with how magic wo-

Abruptly a black dragon swooped by and tried to claw at me. I was able to dodge but I lost my concentration on the spell holding Rill in place. Seeing as Rill was using some creatures to help fight, I decided that I would too.

"[Obsidian Magic: Obsidian Dragon"s Rage]"

A lot of the magma that was raining down started hovering temporarily in the air and started becoming hard and cooling down rapidly. It then all rushed to one spot and formed a dragon made of Obsidian.

"Hurt and incapacitate Rill, do whatever you want to the other dragon." I told it

It then quickly used it"s obsidian wings that seemed like they would never work to quickly create a giant burst of air behind him as a way to gain some speed. He instantly got close to the other dragon and swiped at it with his claws.

Turning my attention back to Rill he started coming towards me as with a sword in his hand that he made out of paint.

"Oh? You"re copying my magic now?"

I put my sword up in front of me and pointed to Rill using it. I then launched myself forwards to meet Rill in combat.

Rill started off by trying to slash downwards with his sword and hit me in the head. I blocked this by moving the top of my sword up and dispelled the spell.

Rill using his other hand, painted another sword instantly and attacked again. Even while he was attacking he was creating swords with his other hand.

He then tried slashing across of my torso but I was able to move back enough to dodge the blade and moved forwards slashed towards both of his sides as if I was holding a pair of scissors. Rill made a even bigger sword and put it between them to stop it for a second. This second was just enough for Rill to get out and move away from me.

"{Lightning Magic: Lightning Bolt}" I casted while pointing at him

A small spark shot out from my finger and hit Rill"s Grimoire. The Grimoire shot across the room and ended his Dragon spell.

Rill ran across the room to get his Grimoire but my dragon seeing that he was no longer fighting anything went to Rill and attempted to grab him with his claws. Rill rolled underneath it and was just barely able to grab onto his Grimoire.

Immediately he casted a spell to deal with my dragon.

"{Painting Magic: G.o.d"s Play}"

A giant gray like figure of Zeus appeared and got into a stance that looked like it was about to punch the dragon. Instead my dragon ran head first into it"s fist and was absorbed by it.

Zeus then punched towards me and shot out my dragon but was no longer under my control. I ended my mana supply to it but it didn"t dissipate meaning Rill was now giving mana to it.

Seeing as I was in a pinch I decided to use a magic that I didn"t want to use as I"ve never really practiced it against a normal person.

"{Shadow Sand Magic: Sandman"s Nightmare}"

This spell is a combination of Sand and Shadow. It attacks using the personal fears and anxiety of the person I attack using this spell.

Rill stopped dancing around the room and stood still. He also ended all of his painting magic and my dragon. After doing so, Rill just stood as still as a statue. His eyes turned black and he started to cry streams of black sand down his eyes.

I waited a bit to make sure that he wouldn"t break free from this spell.

With a large sigh, I made all my magic disappear, including the Shadow Sand magic. Doing so caused Rill to drop to his knees and have is eyes turn back to normal. He however was still crying because he was still thinking about what the spell showed him.

I walked up to Rill and put my hand onto his shoulder while kneeling down to get eye level with him.

"Rill..." I said, "I don"t know what my spell showed you but you must know this. None of it was real and everything is all right"

I pulled him into a hug and let him cry into my shirt. Silently I casted another spell.

"{Sand Magic: Sandman"s Sweet Dream}"

This spell was the exact opposite of Sandman"s Nightmare, it put the target asleep and into a dream of all the things that cause them joy in life. I then slowly put Rill onto the floor laying down and made a pillow and blanket for him.

"Sweet dreams Rill. I"m sorry I had to do that to you." I said before walking through the entrance of the castle.
