Rio humd, deeply in thought. So the items he would bring out in reality had a ti limit on them. In a certain perspective — that made sense.
As far as reality would go, the items he brings out to the world had already been erased to nothingness.
"What about the curse then? For example, If I use it and curse sobody will the ti-limit delete the curse and uncurse the person...?" Rio muttered. That could be possible. Or perhaps it would be like a one off item that can only be used once. Either way, he didn't know.
If he had soone or sothing to experint on, he would probably have a much easier ti, but unfortunately, who in their right mind would volunteer to get inflicted by a curse so potent?
"Then again, the world is full of crazy people..." Rio muttered, shaking his head. Since he had ended up with a dead end, he would return to his original goal — he would focus on exploring the possible uses of his dinsion first.
In that regard, he was terribly lacking.
The only use he knew of his dinsion was [Essence of Nothingness], the ability to erase sothing in reality... While it was good, it wasn't really helpful offensive wise. Granted, erasing items, weapons and injuries in battle was extrely helpful — but that was not yet counting the restrictions that ca with it.
First, he could only erase two things from reality. And for a second, he couldn't erase sothing that had existed in reality for months and years. There was a ti requirent for it to be erasable from reality.
Those two restrictions made it almost close to useless — in a battle, he could only erase at most two wounds or items, thereby limiting his advantages.
And if by any chance he would fight soone with a weapon that existed for half a year in the world, then he wouldn't be able to erase the weapon. By that, it was almost useless.
'However, where should I start?'
Rio thought as he pondered deeply. He did wanted to explore the possible uses of his dinsion, but he didn't know where to start. If only there was soone that could help him...
Suddenly, he felt a faint presence hover around him. Rio half distractedly asked:
"Oh, you're already finished, Faust?"
[Right. I managed to understand the basics of the formation, but not the whole thing...that would need a far longer ti,] Faust comnted, his body turned upside down.
"Perfect. I wanted to ask you for help," Rio said, shifting his gaze to Faust. "With your experiences, you should be able to help ."
[Alright, praising your master, ain't you?] Faust chuckled, nonchalantly hovering beside Rio. [Tell then, what do you need help with?]
"Well, I'm having a hard ti with my dinsion..." Rio explained. "I don't know where to start. Think you can help with that?"
[Sorcerer's Dinsions, huh?] Faust lightly said, his face frowning. [The thing about Sorcerer's is their creative use of their power... In most cases, they are a far more complicated and harder opponent than any other... Well, you're in for luck. I know a thing or two about their power. I had a friend who was a Sorcerer with a fairly powerful dinsion.]
"Alright, so what should I do?" Rio asked. That was great. He had a headstart on where to progress things.
[Hm, let see the disposition of your dinsion first. Apply it to reality and I'll asure its potential and prowess.] Faust replied.
Rio nodded, complying. He closed his eyes as he raised his hand. He removed all unnecessary thoughts from his mind, concentrating on his dinsion.
...Analyzing the ley lines. Understanding the void. Transforming magical energy to void energy. Intercepting the laws of reality. Texture—replacent.
"...[Dinsional Expansion]."
He muttered as he clenched his hands. Suddenly, a crack echoed in the air — he opened his eyes, noticing the sudden change in the surroundings.
Faint and illusionary darkness overlapped with the texture of the world. Reality seed to have been replaced by the image of void. One second, it was the white training room — the next second; it was the infinite void. It was a mystical scene.
"So how is it?" Rio asked, his hand controlling the darkness. "My dinsion is that of the void. The dinsion allows to control nothingness, manipulate void and turn my magical energy to void energy. Void energy nullifies...almost everything."
Faust stared at the room for a while, pondering deeply. He caressed his chin as he spoke. [A dinsion related to that of the void... This is my first ti seeing one. It's rely spiritual and yet it can already affect reality to a degree it can erase things? Its power is nothing to scoff at. With its potential, I would rank it as a S Tier Dinsion.]
"S Tier Dinsion?" Rio asked, confused. There was a tier on dinsions?
[It's not that important... but even among Sorcerers there are difference in dinsions — so dinsions are just inherently weaker and less useful than others, while there are few special ones like yours that have massive power and potential… However, rankings like that are just useless...when one further ascends, nothing is impossible anyway.]
Faust explained, his eyes shifting to Rio. He picked his ear as he asked:
[So, what is it that you need help with?]
"The massive power you so of speak; I don't see it," Rio said dryly. "The only use I can see is the ability to erase things, and that cos with heavy restrictions. So... I don't really see any future prospects with that. Teach how to use the power and potential properly."
[....You know I'm not a Sorcerer right? I'm a Martial Artist.] Faust sighed, staring at Rio. His hand facepalming. [I don't cast skills, I use techniques. My path isn't mastering the universe, but mastering the self.]
"So...? You can't?" Rio frowned. Well, that was a sha.
[... Nevermind.], Faust said, his head shaking. He continued. [But this isn't what exact what I had in mind when I said I was accepting you as a disciple... But alright, I still have so knowledge about it anyway.]
[First of, what I ant by massive power is its limitless potential for developnt,] Faust explained. [It isn't restricted by the Three Dinsional Paths.]
"Now, what is this Three Dinsional Paths?" Rio asked, further confused. There were so much terms he didn't know of. This was getting a bit tireso to rember.
[Ah! seriously!] Faust tiredly shouted. [You know what, I'll just transmit you the information!]
Rio tilted his head, confused.
Faust closed in to Rio, his hand raising as he tapped Rio's forehead. [...The Three Dinsional Paths are the paths chosen by Sorcerers on the developnt of their dinsion. They are naly — Attacker, Support, and finally Auxiliary.]
In that instant, Rio felt imnse information assault his mind. However — he was already Rank B and with so ability on ntal magic — he was able to easily overco it.
[Most dinsions would choose one of those paths to develop their power...]
Rio stared vacantly on the air, srized by the information he had received. He has saw so dinsions used with creativity and complexity — all them showed imnse power and uses.
[For example, a normal Fire Dinsion would go for the Attacker path for their ferocious burning power.]
Rio saw a thin man apply a dinsion to reality — the dinsion was filled with flas. Incineration. Everything that was near the man burned and turned to ashes of cinder.
[A normal Water Dinsion would go for the Support path for their healing, and soft capabilities.]
Then, Rio saw another thin man apply a dinsion to reality — this ti, instead of flas, it was the beautiful pure form of water. As soon as the dinsion was applied, everything near softened and healed. So people that were wounded felt energy revitalized them once again.
[And a normal Earth Dinsions would go for an Auxiliary path for their ability to strengthen and create infrastructures.]
At last, Rio saw a burly man apply a dinsion to reality — unlike the previous two, this one was not used in a way related to fights. The burly man used the dinsion to create buildings, strengthen footholds, manipulate earth to create art. It was in a way creativity flourished in the burly man's actions.
[But, don't take all of that as strict rules — as I said once and now, anything is possible. Those three are just so standard examples. Sowhere in the world, they may be flas that could heal. Water that could destroy. Earth that could soften.] Faust continued.
Rio snapped out of his daze, listening to the tanned, muscular man obediently.... So that was Faust ant by the creative powers of Sorcerers. Among the examples, the one he found most interesting was the Earth Dinsion.
From the Earth Dinsion, the user's creativity showed itself. To create buildings, strengthen infrastructures, and finally control the earth itself.
Though, from the mories, he had finally understood what the man was explaining to him.
"...How unnecessarily complicated," Rio dryly complained. He continued as he asked. "So what you an by my Void Dinsion not being compounded by Three Dinsional Paths — is that I can do any of the three paths to develop my power?"
[Exactly! This is why I don't like Sorcerers...too complicated and complex for their own good,] Faust clicked his tongue, annoyed. [Your Void Dinsion — could go in any of those paths. It could be used for Attacker. It could be used for Support. And it could be used for Auxiliary. Basically, it's that unique and powerful.]
"Hm, hm... If that's the case then the ability to erase things from reality, [Essence of Nothingness], should be categorized as a Support ability," Rio muttered, nodding in understanding.
[That depends on how you use it. If you use it to erase enemies' limbs and heart, then it isn't so supporting anymore,] Faust comnted.
"Well, that's impossible. I can only remove things that only existed in a month. I can't erase living beings either." Rio said, his head shaking. Suddenly, he flinched as he felt a thick finger flick his forehead.
He frowned, staring at Faust as he groaned: "...What was that for?"
[Don't be dumb,] Faust scolded with a frown. [There's no such thing as impossible. Aren't you a Miracle Invoker? Act like one. The path of Miracle Invoker's is self mastery and mastery of the universe. As long as you continue to progress your powers, everything would slowly be possible... In this universe, there is no such thing as impossible.]
Rio went silent, sighing... Perhaps his words might have ca off as an insult to the man. After all, the man did try to chase the impossible in his whole life — the realm of Sovereigns.
...In any case, now that he had a broader and clearer view of how to develop dinsions, he had an idea of what ability on the dinsion he should progress next. He would try to create an offensive ability.
