Chapter 1053: Chapter 433: Ritual in Progress
This is a deserted island above the boundless sea.
On the island, except for a few scattered flowers and vegetation, there are no traces of human habitation. Even the animals are mostly just some squirrels and rabbits.
The entire island’s area can be seen in a glance, making it a fairly standard deserted island.
But this deserted island, possibly for the first time in hundreds of years, has welcomed visitors from outside the island.
A large three-masted ship with a bird’s head has docked by the island, right by the beach.
It is Alka and his companions who have arrived at this island.
Alka and his companions have observed this island for a day or two and it should be the connecting island to Gemini Island. It is very close, not even a day’s journey away from Gemini Island.
From time to time, one can also see ships passing by from afar.
This not too far and not too close distance was favored by Alka and his companions.
Mainly because if it were too far from Gemini Island, coming and going would feel too troublesome.
So they chose this island, which is less than a day’s journey away, and not everyone on the ship disembarked.
Only a few Puppet Girls remained on the ship.
Among those on the ship were only Alka, Simon, Lucilia, and Jason.
Of course, if Jason was there, Ulu Liwus was there as well.
The others stayed on Gemini Island, attending to their own business.
And the five of them coming here is obviously purposeful.
"Hmm!"
Ulu Liwus shouted and jumped down from high up, diving straight into the sand.
Jason, coming down leisurely from the ship, looked at this scene with great helplessness but still dragged his body over to pull the struggling Ulu Liwus out from the sand.
"Can you be a bit more ladylike? You’re acting like a wild child right now."
Jason said helplessly, patting the sand off Ulu Liwus.
Ulu Liwus’ crystal-like dragon horns gleamed brilliantly under the sunlight. Upon hearing this, she tilted her head slightly.
"Why worry, there’s no one else here."
As for Alka and his companions coming down behind them, why worry? Do they not already know her true nature?
Jason shook his head, helplessly took her hand, and started walking quietly around the island.
Alka and Simon came over, and Lucilia sat on Alka’s shoulder.
"Lucilia, how is the location of this island?"
"It looks nice from outside the island. Let’s take a walk first." Although the island can be seen in one glance, taking a walk allows for more precise observation.
Alka nodded, and together with Simon, they followed the two around the island.
The island showed no signs of people, only tall trees scattered in the central area.
Other parts of the island were mostly stone, and some weeds growing in the cracks of the stones.
During their leisurely walk, Lucia on Alka’s shoulder was holding a mini notebook and seemed to be recording something.
Besides them, several Puppet Girls jumped down from the ship as well. Judging by their attire, it was clear they were tasked with Spell-related tasks of the team.
It didn’t take long for everyone to have effectively strolled around, and Lucilia nodded, saying, "This island will do."
"Then we need to start preparing," said Alka, taking out various materials from the Pocket Ring.
Simon did the same.
The materials taken out by the two were almost all sealed very tightly in various ways.
As these sealed devices were opened, the energies emitted made it clear they were filled with different types of elements.
Indeed, these are the materials for the ritual.
They stayed on the island for three months to gather all the materials.
Fortunately, the materials used for crafting had already been gathered in advance, allowing them to complete the creation of the vessel for the Divine Essence.
But until now they managed to successfully gather the ritual materials as well.
The elemental energies dispersed into the air started to gather and mix.
The group quickly began separating the materials.
Soon the ritual setup was completed, and it was evident that one side used red materials, and the other side used white and blue materials.
Just standing adjacent to these materials, one could feel they were of fire and ice elements.
Ulu Liwus arrived at the center of the two rituals, with a crystal for amplifying the ritual emerging from her chest.
This treasure was still in use by her, mainly because it didn’t currently conflict with other treasures.
Furthermore, it didn’t require much effort to master, as it primarily strengthened the ritual’s effects.
Temporarily, the two effectively possessed four Holy Grail Level treasures and one Scepter Level treasure.
This level of treasure doesn’t have strict requirements for mastery quantities; you can possess as many as you can fit.
However, the best approach is certainly pyramid-shaped, ideally 3:2:1, and once you’ve equipped these 6 treasures, then seek other suited treasures if they exist by then.
Each additional treasure exponentially increases the difficulty, so naturally, no one would place extra treasures at this level.
But currently, there is no Scepter Level treasure necessitating mastery, so it’s used for the moment.
