Capítulo 78: Chapter 78 The Ritual is Ready

```

The sewers of Alchemy City had thoroughly changed their appearance by this time.

The once intricately complex maze now seemed as though kneaded by an invisible pair of hands, becoming even more shattered and fragmented. Magic energy constructed walls that divided the sewer into different areas, as countless illusion realms led the sewer's monsters to their predetermined locations.

They were sacrifices, the kindling for the Wishing Ritual, the monsters' flesh and soul, along with their memories and emotions, all melted into the magic array, turning into thousands of black threads.

These threads traveled through the magic array like a specter's long hair, seeking the only living being within the array, someone in the central area.

At the core of the ritual magic array, an old man with a naked body was entwined by these threads, suspended in midair.

The old man's body was hunched, his pale long hair a mess, looking as gaunt as a mummy.
