Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist?

Chapter 353: Ceremony Preparations 3

The nonsensically large (by my old life’s standards) Spirit Tree was in view from across the Spirit Spring.

If I were to transmute a structure at the level of a cathedral as is, it would create the same amount of space underground, so, because I don’t need that big of a basement, I would have to pile up wood, stone, steel, copper, silver ingots, as well as stone and sand to take out silica, sodium carbonate, limestone for the glass, and lead in advance.

In addition to these, I prepared the complete blueprint of the inner structure, a complete layout of the outer structure, and a diagram of the interior appearance. I also arranged the perfected illustration of the stained glass on the ground.

This was so I could drill the complete image into my brain. Considering the building’s strength, the position, thickness, and number of pillars that were also drawn in.

Honestly, it took a long time to get this far.

The pews, the statue of Goddess Norn, and anything related to lighting equipment and magic devices from the previous church were all stored in my Item Box. Of course, so they could be reused.

「Fuu~, focus, focus……」

The exterior will have a gothic style, the interior would use lavish amounts of stained glass. This had gotten so absurd……

「Transmute!」

Gogogogogogooooo!!

The light of magic power enveloped the piles of materials, and a gigantic structure rose.

A large amount of magic power suddenly left me. I hurriedly drank mana potions, and continued to concentrate.

The magic power I regained immediately with the instant-acting high efficacy mana potions was being consumed with staggering force. When my magic power was verging on exhaustion for the second time, I drank another mana potion.

I went back and forth between exhausting my magic power and replenishing it using mana potions. Then, before my unsteady self’s eyes, a complex design emerged, and the characteristic steeples were complete.

As for the inside of the structure, a fairytale-like interior covered in stained glass was perfected.

The light of magic power that covered the structure had vanished, and once I was done inspecting the successful transmutation of the church, I sank to the floor at that very spot.

「Oh man…… that was close.」

The amount of magic power I had left was nearing empty. Had I not drank mana potions several times, I would have probably fainted from magic power exhaustion. No, a structure of this magnitude wasn’t something that I could have built without drinking mana potions many times over in the first place.

Sweating all over, my back felt disgusting, but it was hard to even use purification magic.

Then purifying magic enveloped my body, and I felt refreshed.

Akane brought Lulu-chan with her and they gazed at the completed church.

「Thanks, Akane.」

「You’re welcome. If your magic power was cutting it that close, wouldn’t it have been better to transmute it section by section?」

「……it would have.」

Honestly, I didn’t need to build it all at once. Even the Airship Ouranos and the Combat Ship Oceanus were transmuted by parts.

There was no need for an escort inside the Sanctuary, so I was alone today. My fiancées were busy with other preparations.

Akane who just so happened to watch the transmutation of the gigantic church cast the purification magic.

When I sat in place to meditate and my magic power recovered, the sluggishness of my body went away.

「Yoisho. Oh, I’m going to check inside, Akane, you want to join?」

「Of course! I came to see the church, after all. Right, Lulu?」

「…………ah! I-it’s amazing nya! So big nya!」

Lulu-chan was jumping up and down in excitement at the cathedral that, by no exaggeration, suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

「Lulu! you’re too excited!」

「Ha! I’m sorry nya! I have shown an unsightly appearance nya.」

Since Lulu-chan seemed to have calmed down, I brought Akane and Lulu-chan with me and we stepped inside the church.

「「……………………」」

「Oooh! It came out just like I imagined.」

Leaving behind the dumbfounded Akane and Lulu-chan, I checked every inch of the structure.

The stained glass that seemed to cover the interior of the building produced a mystical space that the word “magical” wasn’t enough.

A church’s stained glass would normally have a religious motif, but having a religious things from my old life would be strange. That’s why I presented the Great Spirits and Goddess Norn’s images together with a plant pattern.

The structure of the church was also designed in a way that light that shined through the stained glass would cover the interior.

After that, I had to install Light magic devices at various areas of the building.
