Ultraman: The Dark Shadow Mage, Creating a Magic Empire

Chapter 71 New Magic, Emanating Magic

During the three thousand years of wars waged against the Land of Light, the Shadow Empire's development also reached a critical juncture...

……

The year 3000 of the Shadow Empire calendar, 2000 years after the great war between the Land of Light and Alien Empera.

Inside the Everlasting Star Base of the Azure Galaxy.

Alice distributed the design drawings, along with copies of the magical runes, spells, and principles she had attempted to write, to everyone present.

Among those present were Erica, Dieter, Kate, Mance Nordow, Mandy Nordow, Lanster, Osborne, Peter, and others.

There are also nineteen other magical geniuses of the same era as Lanster!

They are now the 20th-ranked members of the Magic Academy, and they are the best force in researching new magic.

Although Alice is also a magical genius, her main profession is still physicist. Although she is a genius, she is not magical.

Unlike that genius physicist next door, who can develop new equipment just by touching his head.

Closer to home.

The reason Alice has gathered everyone here is that she has finally figured out how to create a new kind of magic, so she has called everyone together to discuss it.

"The reason I've gathered everyone here today is to address this issue. I reiterate my point: we must solve this problem ourselves! We will not trouble Your Majesty unless we are completely out of options."

Alice said, "In order to complete the energy transfer to the fourth level, we need a completely new kind of magic to replace the normal energy transfer and conversion."

Everyone looked at the copy sent by Alice and carefully verified it.

"A completely new kind of magic? Are you sure you want to invite us to research it together? You should know what that means."

The first to look up was Lanster, who, as the creator of a new type of magic, was most sensitive to new magic.

Over the course of a thousand years, this group of magical geniuses developed many unique types of magic based on existing elemental magic.

There are water magic, metal magic, earth magic, curse magic, lightning magic, etc.

Norman also revealed some basic time magic and created wind magic and mental magic.

Now, Alice wants to create a more efficient, or rather, simpler, magic that is more suitable for energy.

Most importantly, she actually made her research public and invited them to discuss it together!

Keep in mind that this was created by magic!

Even the people of the Shadow Empire, who are all working hard for the empire, can't help but have selfish desires. Before they succeed, they will hide their special achievements and want to keep them for themselves!

But Alice took it out directly and gathered everyone together to discuss it!

"Of course I know."

Alice nodded and said, "Technology can't be improved in a short time, and it can't reach the level of energy consumption we need, but magic can!"

"His Majesty said that magic is a miracle, a manifestation of our imagination. As long as we work together, we can definitely create a completely new form of magic!"

"And all of this is for the Shadow Empire. As for how many names will be involved after the development of magic, that's not important. What's important is that we can fulfill the promise we made to His Majesty a thousand years ago!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Alice with a hint of respect in their eyes.

That dedication alone is enough to defeat most of them!

As expected of a princess of the royal family, her awareness is truly admirable!

Everyone began to think seriously and offered their opinions one after another.

"Indeed, the transfer of functions to the fourth layer is difficult to achieve with current technology. If we wait for technological advancements, it will take at least three thousand years."

"Using magic to bridge the technological gap is one solution."

"To treat magic as pure energy, and to mold it into any shape using one's own mental strength and imagination... Brilliant!"

"It's a very unique idea. If it really works, it won't just be about creating magic; it will be a completely new school of thought!"

"But some changes are still needed. I suggest abandoning runes altogether and relying on incantations and your own markings to cast spells."

"Yes, this should avoid various problems caused by insufficient number of runes and inadequate carrying capacity."

The group began to discuss and then tried it out.

……

Geniuses are terrifying.

It's even more terrifying when a bunch of geniuses work together on one thing without any disagreement!

In just one year, they achieved a major breakthrough.

Alice stood in the experimental field, her hands raised, communicating with the magic in the surrounding environment directly through her own magic, without using runes.

As she communicated, the surrounding magic began to surge, converging into a bolt of lightning according to her will!

"Boom!"

The lightning struck the ground, but in the instant of the explosion, it burst into flames. As the flames splashed, they transformed into pure magic, which then turned into water and fell to the ground. The moment it hit the ground, it turned into ice and spread throughout the entire area.

Three seconds, five changes!

All of this was created by Alice through the shaping and transformation of magic!

And most importantly, after magic is converted into magic of different attributes, the magic consumption is almost zero!

They succeeded!

"It's a success!"

"May His Majesty protect us!"

"Long live!"

The crowd cheered, and then tried again. Each person's spellcasting ability was different, but according to the magic equation they calculated, they were able to achieve the same effect.

This means that the low energy consumption during magic conversion is an inherent ability they created!

"It can be released now, but if we want to use it on a super-large magic tower, it will need some modifications."

"Yes, if we're using it on a magic tower, we'll need to inscribe runes on it."

"This aspect needs further research."

"Then add the process!"

The group of geniuses were extremely excited, and their apprentices were equally thrilled.

Because they were involved, they were among the creators of a whole new kind of magic, and the driving force behind a new era!

Why?

Of course, it's because of the fact that after completing the crucial fourth floor of this nine-story super-large magic tower, the subsequent construction is just a long and drawn-out process!

Once the colossal magic tower is successfully built, the Shadow Empire will enter a new era.

Their names will be engraved on the magic monument and remembered by all!

……

"Your Majesty, they succeeded," Caitlin reported back.

"Yes, I have seen it."

Norman nodded with satisfaction and said, "They are able to create their own future, and that's how a civilization can progress."

"Indeed, they have grown a lot."

Caitlin nodded, then hesitated before speaking.

"Ask me anything."

"Yes... that former eldest princess of Landon, she's still alive."

"Oh? Katarina?"

"Yes, and she also created a kind of magic."
