Two days later!
Outside the Undead Tower, beneath a small mound of bones.
A simple Ritual Altar had been constructed by Tuck out of a pile of bones and three skeleton heads.
The red candlelight was not from a candlelight dinner.
It was the light of a wizard's ritual.
Placed on the Ritual Altar were an Origin Stone Crystal, a cup of high-purity spirits, and 20 grams of black swan feathers.
"Basically, other than the somewhat expensive Origin Stone Crystal, the other materials are quite cheap."
Having thoroughly prepared, Tuck slowly began chanting the ritual incantation.
"Great Barrier that shelters the world, I am your most devoted follower!"
"I am willing to offer my faith, praying for your descent."
"Your existence shelters me from the winds and the rain..."
"Your existence..."
As Tuck chanted, the swirling winds surged violently.
The light from the candles rapidly spread.
In the flames, Tuck saw the vast and boundless Great Barrier.
