章節 458: Path Of Retreat

Watching all of the casters gather to form a ritual, Alice couldn't help but observe in silence.

Her understanding of rituals was basic since she never dove deep into the concept. All she knew was that it was an act of equivalent exchange. One where she would make a 'contract' with the opposition in order to bolster her abilities.

For her, it's a unique situation where she can exchange some power with Alyss since a lot of it is sealed thanks to Velouria's power. But for others, the target of exchange is usually the Abyss itself or a powerful entity with a prewritten contract.

Of course, it wasn't limited to just these. According to Cayla, all of the high ranking members of the church can form rituals in order to gain some divine power from their gods. The Eclipse sacrifices via battle or blood rituals to gain power and it's a similar case with the other religions as well.
