The crowd on the outskirts was still murmuring, while the leading believer standing in one corner of the ritual site whispered, "——Silence."
His voice wasn't loud, yet it magically spread throughout the surrounding space. It seemed to contain an incredible power, prompting everyone to subconsciously close their mouths. Then, people noticed that I was moving towards the center of the ritual site. All eyes were focused on me like spotlights.
Dong Che also moved to a position within the ritual site, and once I was in the central spot, the summoning ceremony officially began.
Led by Dong Che, a dozen or so believers at different positions within the ritual site made gestures of bowing their heads and clasping their hands in prayer, channeling their mana into the array on the ground. From their respective positions, the lines forming the array ignited like fuses lit by a lighter.
