Chapter 147: Means of Realization

“W-why? Isn’t it a magic that no one has ever succeeded in?”

Confused, Aria asked, and Elford nodded before responding.

“For the summoning magic through materialization, you need a gate to summon, a key, a catalyst… and a body for materialization.

First is the gate, which is represented by the runes inscribed on the tower.”

Lines on the tower’s statue intersected and connected in a complex manner, forming a single magic circle.

“Next is the key, and this crystal seems to be it. By making the summoned entity more specific with this, conceptual beings can be materialized.”

“A key… What exactly is that crystal?”

“I’ll explain in detail later, as it involves the story of dungeons and creatures. Next is the catalyst… and it’s likely that the Rare Drops stolen by them will be used.”

“What!?”

“As a principle of summoning magic, the catalyst used must be proportionate to the strength of the summoned being. However, the exchange rate for this magic is steep… For example, if you want to summon one dragon, you’ll need a catalyst equivalent to three dragons.”

“What’s that? It would be better to use those three as a direct summoning instead.”

“Yes. But the magical power contained in Rare Drops is at least equivalent to one dungeon, and they can create things similar to Rare Drops, right?… If there are multiple, it’s more than enough as a catalyst to summon powerful beings.”

“…I see.”

Previously, Victoria mentioned something like a counterfeit when she fought Fifth… Was it trying to create a catalyst equivalent to Rare Drops?

But since it couldn’t create something equivalent to Rare Drops, it switched to collecting them, and the spear Baglas used was likely a byproduct.

“Lastly, for the body for materialization… Judging from the runes, they intend to use the ‘Tower to Heaven’ itself.”

“…Huh?”

At the words spoken, a surprised voice involuntarily escaped. Aria and the others also tilted their heads in confusion.

“…Instead of creatures in the dungeon, they’re going to use the dungeon itself as a body? Is that even possible?”

“To be honest, I find it hard to believe… But there’s another magic incorporated into the runes that activates after the summoning magic. This is a guess based on the fact that there were runes used for making golems.”

“A dungeon into a golem? That’s absurd…”

“Absolutely… But if it’s possible, the manifested being will be extremely powerful. After all, it’s a body created using one of the largest dungeons in the magic continent… It wouldn’t be strange even if a god manifested.”

…If an ordinary magician heard this story, they would dismiss it as absurd. However, Fifth is attempting it, and Elford is backing it up.

With that crystal, magical tools, and considering its repeated resurrections, it wouldn’t be strange if it succeeded.

“Perhaps Fifth has existed long before me.”

“Why would you say that?”

When I asked, Elford pointed to the crystal and answered.

“This crystal… Let’s call it ether for now. It’s a crystallization of magical power before magic stones turn into creatures.”
