Chương 482: How Animated Spells Work

'Hmm. That transcendent-grade spell requires a live consciousness.'

Layla spoke up when the water wyvern was formed. Eren raised his eyebrows and decided to ask the obvious.

'What do you mean?'

Layla took a short pause before continuing.

'You know how animated spells work right? They use your elemental mana as a basic building block to create a mana body for the stray consciousness of a beast corresponding to that spell.

They say that the world's mana has higher consciousness. It encompasses everything and anything– the living and the dead, as well as everything between the two nodes.'

Layla's words caught Eren's attention. He had come to understand that Layla dabbled in a lot of animal experiments. Those Draconic Lizards were her creations using Eliza's blood as the base.

So it was natural that she would study everything related to animated spells, beast contract spells, and any spell or experiment that dabbled with the subject of mana beasts and demon beasts.
