Information[]
Detect Crystal is a magical item that permanently maintains the Detect Mana Force that thoroughly searches the entire tower while covering the Tower of Razel in the form of a six-pointed star. If caught by the crystal, the presence of an intruder will be detected immediately, and then an alarm spell will be activated quite loudly, and the next order is obvious. Soldiers and mages will rush in, and then theft is off the table. [1]
The floor of the alchemist is located underground inside the Tower of Razel, the hallway connected to that... ...has this, a magical item that sensed intruders, it's fine to move around inside, but if someone tries to infiltrate from the outside, it immediately triggers an alarm, the only way to stop the crystal is for someone inside to deactivate it, that's why the intruders have to wait for Dispel Magic user on the crystal. [2]
Even the most ordinary human beings possess the minimum amount of mana necessary to maintain their physical body and carry out life activities. It detects even such a small flow of mana and sounds an alarm. It has no killing power in itself, but its detection ability is far superior to any magical item. It has no weaknesses in itself. The system of the tower that handles it has weaknesses. It can clearly detect all the flow of mana. In simple terms, it can detect all living things. [1] Just because it's a dragon doesn't mean it can avoid mana detection, and it would have been even easier to get caught. But strangely enough, Arin has no effect. [3]
Of course, people have to move around in the Tower of Razel. If its alarm went off every time, the tower would suffer from noise pollution 24 hours a day. That's why the tower's personnel carry certain magical tools to avoid its detection. Those with the mark can move around the tower without any problems, and those without are caught in the alert system. At first, there were no problems, but as time passed, a disadvantage arose. The disadvantages were nothing special. There were too many people coming and going from the tower. The people who live in the tower are like that, and outsiders also have to carry this magic tool whenever they have business. However, it was by no means cheap. It was simply a budget issue. So the search conditions were changed. It was to detect the mana of humans trying to infiltrate from the outside. It was better than making hundreds of magical items. In addition, existing magic tools can be discarded and used for other purposes. Thanks to this, the budget was greatly saved. [1]
If you temporarily stop the crystal inside the tower, you can infiltrate from the outside. There are two ways to stop the crystal function. The first is to destroy the crystal itself, but if the crystal is broken, you will not be magically detected. However, humans will be detected. The patrolling guards will find it and sound the alarm. The second is to sneak inside in advance and use Dispel Magic to temporarily nullify it. The guards who are not destroying it will not notice that you are patrolling. And if you nullify it and sneak inside the tower, you will not be detected even if the crystal function returns. This is because it only detects cases of people coming in from the outside. Those already inside the tower are not in trouble. If you drag someone using Dispel Magic into the crystal's area, they will be recognized as an insider from then on, so they can move around safely.

History[]
The Tower of Razel underground hall. In a small cave they saw an iron bars blocking the vent and Yuna said Pete is late. Arin asked a question to Yuna that why they don't go in first. Yuna frowned and shouted absolutely not, she already explained to Arin earlier about the traps, the floor of the alchemist is located underground inside the Tower of Razel, the hallway connected to that... ...has this, a magical item that sensed intruders, it's fine to move around inside, but if someone tries to infiltrate from the outside, it immediately triggers an alarm, the only way to stop the crystal is for someone inside to deactivate it, that's why they have to wait for Pete to use Dispel Magic on the crystal. Arin said hmm... At this time, Arin's body, which was sitting on the iron bars blocking the ventilation shaft, began to sway and fall downwards. Yuna asked huh. With a loud sound effect, Arin shouted gah and managed to land noisily in the middle of the hallway, along with the iron bars blocking the vent. At that moment, Yuna said owie... Yuna shouted A-Arin, what he has done. Yuna fell into despair, unable to say anything and thought it's all over for them, damn it, soldiers and mages will come rushing in, this is the end... Fortunately, it wasn't too high, so Arin only ended up falling on his butt, and he made a sad face. Yuna thought huh... nothing happened. Yuna asked Charlene did tell them the wrong information, no, it can't be... maybe the magical item is broken. Aria answered she doesn't know much about magic... ...but it could be because... Arin is a dragon, a creature different from them. [2]
Arin smiled brightly and shouted the intruder-detecting crystal must be broken, Yuna, Aria, they may come down. Yuna said they can't go down and risk triggering the alarm, please Arin should go use the Dispel Magic on the crystal. Arin said what, he doesn't know how to use that magic. [2]
Aria threw a huge sword through the vent and said Arin should use this, the Dispel Magic should be engraved on it. Arin thought how he's supposed to... lift that thing. Aria said Arin will be able to use it if he has the Dazzling Dragon Sword with him. [2]
A guard was struck fell to the ground. Yuna muttered quietly that the security isn't tight here, they must be really reliant on this. Tower of Razel, fifth floor, the floor of the flame hallway. Yuna said they have a pretty high chance of success... ...thank goodness they have their guard down. At this time, someone said agreed. The two women's voices echoed off the walls. The tension in Arin's group that had been relaxed became tense again. Sez said damn, these useless guards... ...she better instill someone discipline in them, how dare they let intruders get so far.
