Chapter 249 Filling Edolas with Magic
"You can use magic too?! Wait, Chase, you mean—"
"We too can possess the power of the Eslanders, a power that doesn't rely on magic crystals, a power inherent to humankind?!"
"This...this is unlikely, isn't it?"
Upon hearing that they might have the ability to use magic at will, Edches and the others were stunned. Even Edfried, who was squatting in the corner looking emo, quickly came over, his eyes filled with excitement.
From Chase and the Dark Magician Girl, they have come to a very clear understanding of what it is like to possess magic.
This will bring unimaginable and enormous changes to the entire Edolas, and may even directly resolve the two major crises of magic shortage and external invasion!
"Although the conditions for achieving this are somewhat difficult, theoretically it is indeed possible."
Chase nodded seriously, and the light from his raised fingertips intertwined and condensed into a monster card. "Let the Dark Magician explain it to you."
When he first arrived in Edolas, he discussed related topics with the Dark Mage.
After these two days of contact with the Edolas people and in-depth research into the overall environment of Edolas, the Dark Magician has made a preliminary judgment, which is why he brought up this topic at this time.
An ancient and mysterious magic circle slowly unfolded, and dark purple light coalesced to form a solitary figure clad in a magic robe and holding a magic staff.
Despite having already witnessed Chase's card magic, Ed Chase and the others still showed surprise and envy, and couldn't help but imagine themselves using magic.
"That's how it is, Dark Magician. Tell them your findings."
Chess let out a long sigh, lifted his leg, and shifted to a more comfortable sitting position.
He wasn't a monster like Black Dragon, backed by Fez; the physical strain from the fierce battle hadn't fully healed yet.
Even summoning the Dark Magician was somewhat strenuous, requiring adjustment of breathing rhythm.
The Dark Mage nodded slightly, understanding Chess's meaning. Without further pleasantries, he got straight to the point.
"Magic is the power of the heart and will; the stronger a person's belief, the higher the potential of their magic."
"This applies not only to the people of Esland, but also to the humans of Edolas."
His words left Edchas and the others completely bewildered.
"Magic is the power of the heart and will? This is the first time I've heard such a strange idea." Eddildars rubbed his sparse, messy beard.
"Wait, if that's the case, shouldn't the Edolas guild already have someone with magical powers by now?" Edolas asked.
She actually wanted to say that there were many people with strong wills in Fairy Tail, but then she thought it sounded a bit like self-praise, so she changed her words.
Edches seemed to have thought of something and said in a deep voice, "Besides that, there must be some other restrictions, right?"
Before he inexplicably traveled to Edolas, he was a native of the divine realm and actually possessed magical power within him. However, it was much weaker than that of a regular mage, making him somewhat like an "ordinary person" similar to the residents of Magnolia.
Therefore, upon arriving in Edolas, he didn't think much about it, nor did he systematically train. Instead, he embarked on a path of developing magical devices from which there was no turning back.
"That's right, the natural magic power in Edolas is too thin. Due to this environment, even those with exceptional magical talent find it difficult to awaken magic." The Black Mage nodded, explaining the crux of the problem.
This concept of extraordinary power is somewhat similar to the cultivation world—a place with barren spiritual energy where it's impossible for cultivators to exist, let alone powerful beings who can control everything!
The red pills that Mystogan gave to everyone before the operation were designed to allow their bodies to adapt to the low-magic environment of Edolas in advance, so that they could use magic normally.
The downside is, like Chase is now, that after depleting his magic, his recovery speed is much slower than Esland's.
Edolas's transcendents, on the other hand, are more like "spirit beasts," capable of adapting to low-magic environments, but their methods are limited.
Basically, only the most basic flying magic can be used.
"Mr. Dark Magician, what do you mean?" Edfried used a respectful title.
"As long as Edolas's magic power remains abundant, it will naturally grow within a human's body even without deliberate training," the Black Mage stated matter-of-factly.
The basis for his judgment was Mystergan.
That's right, Mystergan, who has lived in Esland for many years, actually has faint signs of magical energy generation, but he himself is unaware of it!
Upon hearing this, Edchez and his companions were taken aback at first, then lowered their heads in dejection and fell silent.
The solution was found, and it was surprisingly simple, but for them, it was simply impossible.
How to imbue Edolas with magic?
If it were possible, how could the King's Army, led by Faust, have extended its reach into Asland?
"There might actually be a possibility that this could be achieved."
Chase, who was calmly sipping his tea nearby, smiled and said, "For example, drawing magic from other worlds."
He was naturally referring to Elentia, where the Moon God Dragon was hiding. That world was the complete opposite of Edolas. The excessively expanded magic power had caused countless disasters and even gave rise to the White Destroyer Magic Soil, which was specifically designed to destroy magic power!
The best solution is undoubtedly to channel Elentia’s excess magic power to Edolas, and there is a ready-made way to do so: the large-scale spacetime magic Anima!
However, although solutions and methods are available, there are still two unavoidable difficulties.
One is Elendia's world coordinates.
Chase had discussed this with the Dark Mage beforehand. They needed to go to the capital to understand how Anima worked, grasp the specific principles behind the King's Army's locking onto the "Other World," and then explore Elentia's location.
If they're lucky, the Dark Mage might even be able to master the magical laws that allow him to travel between worlds!
The second is the moon goddess dragon Selene.
Whether it's due to the dragon's hatred of humans or its desire to twist everything, this guy can't possibly sit idly by and watch the magic diversion plan, which would benefit humanity in both worlds, proceed smoothly.
Finding Elentia's world coordinates is only a matter of time, but dealing with the Moon Dragon is not such a simple matter. At least, Chase has no confidence that he can deal with such a monster right now!
Even if these two difficulties are successfully resolved, a series of problems will still follow.
For example, could other Edolas be as united as the Edchas squad in helping the Black Dragon fight against the Apostles of God?
Now that he possesses magic, will Edolas be embroiled in an even larger internal conflict?
Etc., etc.
Because of the many uncertainties involved, Chase did not specify any concrete methods, but only promised to do his best.
Seeing that his expression didn't seem like he was trying to fool them, Edches and the others finally felt a little more hopeful.
