“… … You must be familiar with the manifestation.”
“exactly.”
Often, the manifestation of spirits is treated as the extreme meaning of spirits, but strictly speaking, this was incorrect.
It is because the ark is different from transcendental magic, speculation, and decisive battle.
Nevertheless, the reason for putting it in this category is that the caster had to be 7 stars to use it.
The manifestation of King Spirit was more than that.
“Normally, that would be impossible. The manifestation of the King of Spirits is generally possible after 8 stars.”
“Even if you look at past precedents, the lowest stage that has achieved the manifestation of the King of Spirits is a 7-star level.”
“Yes, historically, there are very few Elementalists who have reached 8 stars, but… … .”
“It still is. Even in the kingdom, there is no Elementalist who has passed 8 stars.”
Even in the kingdom, there are 7-star high-ranking elementalists who can use manifestation.
However, since he signed a contract with a higher spirit, he was asking Shardan.
“I heard that the manifestation of the spirit is not difficult if the level is high.”
“you’re right. To be precise, it is generally easily possible as long as two things are met: the strength of the body and the quality of the soul.”
“Is it really possible with just that?”
“yes. However, from that point of view, I think it’s a bad condition for Your Highness.”
So it was in the past, and so it is now.
My greatest strength was my mental talent.
As soon as he reached 7 stars with an exceptional level of understanding and application of the technique, he learned transcendental magic… … .
In a way, the manifestation of the spirit was close to the opposite.
“I thought so too, but sooner or later I will reach the 7-star Intermediate level, so Mama suggested that I give it a try.”
“okay. If you have enough soul, you might try. If you can do it, you have a chance to be better than me.”
“Hmm? What does that mean?”
“Because the skill of the manifested spirit depends on the soul of the summoner.”
“… … is it?”
“Yes, you can think of the body as duration, and the spirit as skill.”
In other words, Shardan was talking about the possibility that my soul’s strength would be higher than his own.
When he was taken to the spirit world, considering how he overpowered Sylvetted, it wasn’t so absurd.
“In my case, I can draw out about 80 to 90% of the spirit’s power.”
“It means that even an 8-star intermediate can’t pull out 100%.”
I nodded and took out the materials I brought.
It was about the demonic powers I received from Derek today.
‘… … You don’t have to show them all.’
I secretly separated some of them and gave them to Shardan.
“Actually, seeing this I received today, I thought it might be possible.”
After receiving and reading this, Shardan pondered for a while before opening his mouth.
“… … According to what is written here, the memorial camp used by the Resurrection Church was meant to embody the power of Hubris.”
“I’ll have to see that.”
Gray-white magic.
This emanating from the heavenly spirit was the power and authority of Hubris.
In ancient times, information was written that the body and soul of the person and those around them were strengthened with this.
“This is information I didn’t mention on the spot, but here’s what I found out.”
“What is?”
“There was a mural showing Hubris fighting Hastur’s subordinates and winning, and stealing their power.”
What he was dealing with was a spirit reminiscent of fire, water, wind, and earth.
I thought they were the ancient spirit kings.
“… … In other words, Hubris killed those spirit kings to increase the strength of himself and his allies.”
“exactly. Attribute magic is what ancient humans created by formulating their remaining power.”
Meanwhile, Shardan suddenly smiled bitterly.
“What’s up?”
“Ah, yes. Actually, it was because I was listening to Khajad’s screams.”
“It seems that the Ice Spirit King has spoken in one voice.”
“Yes, it’s a different era, but it seems hard to believe that the Spirit King was submissive to an invader.”
[I understand Khajad’s feelings, I did too.]
“Anyway, to put it another way, it might be possible if we use this power well.”
There is a way to temporarily increase the level of the body by consuming a huge amount of mana in the vessel of power.
But this is too inefficient.
Although he had to use a huge amount of mana, it was because the level of the body that he had reached was very insignificant.
… … That was what I said after seeing the information.
“okay. It seems worth a try.”
“Okay, then ask for help.”
* * *
As Yorgil told me, it was possible to raise the level of the body with a heavenly spirit.
But that much was really lacking.
Even if you use a huge amount of magical power, you can’t have the status of an intermediate level… … .
Considering that my current status is at the level of leaving the lower 7-star level sooner or later, it was really inefficient.
‘It would be much better to increase the output of magic in practice.’
However, if you can summon Skadi in this way, the story will be different.
According to Shardan, manifesting the spirit makes it difficult for the contractor to move directly… … .
Still, the Spirit King’s power was so enormous that it would be beneficial to manifest it.
“From my point of view, it will be possible enough for Your Highness to reach the 7-star Intermediate level.”
“is it?”
“Yeah, maybe it’s on the edge, but… … I think this is also amazing.”
It was a natural reaction since the lowest stage in history that manifested the King of Spirits was 7 stars.
“It’s not even possible to guess how high the level of the soul must be to be able to do this at a 7-star intermediate level.”
After finishing the conversation with Shardan, I met Sai Yorgil.
Perhaps because she heard the news of her family through Derek, her face was a little looser than usual.
“Did you say good-bye?”
“… … Yes, I was relieved in many ways.”
“relief? Is there a reason?”
I thought I had caused a lot of trouble to the family by stepping out and killing myself.
After hearing the story, Yorgil was relieved because it wasn’t such a bad deal.
“Mayfield was taken away, but I didn’t think it was bad because it gave me time to react.”
“What do you think of what you heard today?”
“… … It’s hard to believe, but I’m trying to understand.”
“Good thing. So I want you to hang out with my question for a moment.”
“When it comes to family, I have absolutely no intention of answering.”
“Don’t worry, it’s about you.”
Sai’s eyes softened slightly at my words.
However, there was still a little bit of wariness.
I didn’t care and continued.
“How was the kingdom you saw?”
“… … What does that mean?”
“It is literally. He wants to hear what he felt while living in the kingdom.”
It was obvious that he was shaking his head as if trying to gauge the intent of my question.
But in the end, perhaps not understanding the intention of my question, she opened her mouth after moving her lips once.
“… … I felt rich. It is very peaceful compared to the Feyer continent.”
“Well, yes. It is a place where there is little conflict.”
“I was particularly impressed with the smiles of the people. I can sense that everyone is satisfied with the Queen’s rule.”
“Aren’t you greedy? If we get this land, if we get them… … the things you do.”
“… … .”
Sai’s eyes narrowed.
He understood the intent of my question.
“That’s rude, 2nd Prince.”
“is it? I think that’s a good enough question for the next head of the house that invaded the kingdom.”
“Are you asking me to apologize?”
“no. I’m just curious about your thoughts.”
Her sharp eyes shot at me.
It was to be wary of what I meant to say now.
“I will tell you, I will not give up the idea of attacking the kingdom. Once Ronberg’s affairs are settled, he will still be targeting you.”
“Why?”
“I was convinced while being held here as a hostage. The potential of the kingdom is threatening.”
one hundred years… … No, I said it because I personally felt that the difference in national power would be reversed within a few decades.
“If we don’t hit when we have the upper hand, we’ll be the ones to lose in the end.”
“Can’t we join hands in pursuit of peace?”
“I never thought those words would come out of your mouth, 2nd Prince.”
As a member of a huge family, it was an answer that came because I knew my past life.
“Without power, you die, you are dominated. You know very well that we are the ones who have lived through such history, right?”
“Sure, I know.”
“From my point of view, I don’t understand Rien. What do you believe in in the kingdom and cooperate to that extent?”
“It’s probably because you can’t protect the family if you don’t.”
Sai closed his mouth at my answer, and muttered softly.
“… … It was my right door.”
“Never mind, it could be. Then I will go.”

A crest of a sword in red.
It was Solstad’s pattern that reminded me of the extremes of unmanned fighting.
jerk, jerk.
There were people walking, escorted by people wearing red uniforms and sword patterns.
Unlike the warriors of Solstad around them, they were wearing black robes.
I could feel that I was not a member of the family.
They proudly walked into the heart of the family.
Eventually, arriving at their destination, they calmly moved inside.
“Meet Schwein Solstad, the family head.”
At their greeting, Schwein averted his gaze.
Although he was clearly dressed differently from those present, he spoke in a familiar voice.
“Welcome, members of the Rehabilitation Church. Everyone please have a seat.”
“Yes, my lord.”
After greeting, they found their seats in the middle and sat down, as if they were familiar with this place.
The only people who sat in the higher table than them were those with higher ranks in Solstad, including Staten.
“To get to the point, I decided to accept Ronberg’s proposal.”
Schwein’s words calmed the atmosphere slightly.
It was a natural reaction to say that he would agree to the proposal to defeat Yorgil.
“Are you okay? According to the family head’s opinion, it’s a situation where it’s clear that Ronberg is hiding his power… … .”
The person who asked the question was Romwell Solstad, the former family head and father of Schwein.
“Yes, that is the conclusion I came to after considering that.”
“What is the basis?”
“Because if Ronberg’s proposal is not followed, the current fixation will follow.”
Solstad was in a difficult situation to break through the current situation unless he could unite with Yorgil and attack the kingdom.
Of course, it was possible if you were prepared to consume a lot of power, but… … .
As long as he cared about Ronberg, he had to avoid it.
“Well, if the war is prolonged, the kingdom will greatly benefit.”
“Yes, this is a situation that could soon lead to Ronberg’s advantage. and… … .”
In an instant, Schwein’s eyes grew cold.
Most of the people inside were holding their breath.
Schwein continued in a low-pitched voice.
“I didn’t feel worth holding hands with Yorgil anymore.”
it was contempt
It was not just a practical calculation, but a judgment that included Schwein’s personal feelings.
“To not see the great country, to be swept away by personal affections… … Yorgil is no longer our equal.”
“I understand the meaning of the housekeeper. But is this possible? Still, Yorgil is not an easy opponent.”
In response, Schwein put the method in his mouth.
It was Ronberg’s suggestion, and the people of the Solstad family let out a silence when they heard it.
“… … Is that possible?”
“It’s hard to believe, if that was possible in the first place, why didn’t you do it sooner?”
“Whether or not Ronberg does what he says, one thing remains the same.”
“What is it?”
“The kingdom’s naval force boasted that they would block it.”
With this, Solstad could only focus on hitting Rien.
“Western warriors, Yorgil, and the kingdom’s coastal troops were told by Ronberg that they would block them, so we just have to start an all-out war.”
Solstad does not take any part in the invasion of Yorgil, which Ronberg will carry out, and persists in ignorance.
… … Since he also accepted the condition, Schwein decided to move.
“Follow the will of the head of state. We have nothing to lose.”
“Yes, because this opportunity may reveal the power Ronberg is hiding.”
Schwein’s eyes moved after he finished talking.
What he was looking at was none other than the members of the Rehabilitation Church.
One of them came forward.
“This is Marcellity, the Archbishop of the Church of Resurrection. I would like to convey my opinion to you according to the head of the household.”
“Oh, what is that?”
“It is estimated that the 2nd prince has many artifacts of evil spirits.”
