The two incumbent Kingdom Seers, along with the current Supreme Six and Twilight Triad, were making their way from the Chosen Headquarters to the Hall of History. It didn't take long for them to reach the Hall right in front of the second edition of Light, particularly the volume about magical powers.

"Summon? Summon the Ten Crests?" Seungwoo could not believe what he just heard.

"Is that even possible?" Eunbi was doubtful as well.

Their doubts were more or less justified. The Ten Crests of Hallyu were the ten strongest magical squads in the kingdom's history who led the kingdom into and during the Golden Age. It also made sense why even Origin, the leader of the Novus Red Force, would be intimidated to attack during the Golden Age just like what he claimed. After all, Hallyu's reputation as one of the top magical kingdoms in the Arcanus Alliance was due to the Ten Crests. In retrospect, the Ten Crests would be highly reliable and capable reinforcements, especially in the situation that they were in.

"Well, according to the Summoning entry here in Light, summoning could be done using an active power or a spell," Seunggi read out

"Well, according to the Summoning entry here in Light, summoning could be done using an active power or a spell," Seunggi read out.

"Wait. If we have the means to actually summon them from the past, why haven't we done it before over and over again?" Yujin pointed out. "Having the Ten Crests can be a huge asset for our kingdom at any period."

"That is because summoning them from the past comes with a great risk," Dongwook answered.

"Risks? What risks?" Liz wondered.

"Summoning them to our time poses the risk of altering the timeline and changing the present if we are not careful," Seunggi explained. "For example, if we summoned them from a crucial point in our history such as the Fandom War, then the War would have not happened, changing the course of our kingdom's history."

"Another risk of summoning them towards our time is the information leak," Dongwook added.

"Information leak? What kind?" Niki was confused.

"Technically, based on the flow of time, we are their future, correct?" Seunggi received nods of approval. "Now, any information revealed to them here that still does not exist or is not yet known in their time could potentially alter the course of history. These two risks could cause inconspicuous changes throughout the whole timeline; only Chronokinetics and Premonition wielders could sense these changes, if any."

"But seeing our situation, they're the risks we are willing to take," Wonyoung stated, which the two Kingdom Seers nodded in confirmation.

"So, how are we going to summon them, daepyonim?" Yohan inquired.

"Since none of you possesses Summoning or Projection as an active power, we'll resort to spell casting," Dongwook finished the thought.

"Is there even any particular spell for summoning the Ten Crests?" Liz questioned.
