Lacy made her way to the top of Bernheinen’s walls and cast her gaze over the city. The area just outside the walls was filled with farms, while farther out there was nothing but empty plains.

“Umm, conditions seem good. I don’t think I’ll need to adjust my illusion at all.”

The plan was to disguise the city, the outlying fields, and the nearby roads as an empty plain. Lacy had crafted the illusion in a dome shape where everyone inside would be able to go about their lives like normal, but from the outside, everything in the dome would look like grasslands.

Of course, an illusion spell of this magnitude and precision took a highly skilled mage to cast. Illusion magic was born from the caster’s imagination. Just like a master sculptor or painter, the illusion mage had to perfectly recapture the sights and sounds of real life inside their head and replicate them. In a way, it was similar to how magicians back in Veight’s world did their thing, but of course, Lacy had no way of knowing that. Lacy had already created the illusion she wanted to cover the city with ahead of time, so it didn’t take too long to get ready.

When I was younger, I remember Veight always told me to carefully observe my surroundings. Back when Lacy had wanted to make an illusory ship, Veight had made her swim underneath a ship’s hull to learn what it looked like from below the surface. That experience had taught Lacy to carefully examine even the most minute of details.

“All right!” Lacy slapped her cheeks and opened up her notebook. “Cloak this land in a new form, obfuscating its true nature. Iete Safen...”

She traced the magic circle in her notebook as she chanted. The circle was basically like a piece of program code for CGI art. Covering an entire city with the image of a plain was a massive undertaking, but a skilled mage could compress the amount of information required by simply making a small section of a plain, then copying it over and over. Lacy was basically copy-pasting the same plains section she’d created over Bernheinen. Of course, the exact same pattern copied over and over would look a bit artificial, but there was only so much a person with 1 kite’s worth of mana could do. With clever use of the unique properties of her magic, Lacy had found a way to create large illusions that didn’t require an immense amount of mana. Other illusion mages needed to work in groups to accomplish the same thing, but Lacy could manage this all on her own.

“Did it work?” Lacy muttered to herself. Since she was inside the illusion, she had no way of knowing. She’d tested it earlier from the outside, and it had worked just fine, but she still couldn’t help but worry.

A few minutes later, Melaine came over to her, followed by a squad of her vampire knights.

“Well?” she asked simply.

“Ah, it worked, I think. We should probably be okay,” Lacy replied.
