Lord of Mysteries 2: Circle of Inevitability

He recalled something Louis Lund once relayed from Madame Pualis: Whatʼs been established is merely a small, caricature Paramita, a part of the complete Paramita...

Hmm... Lumian inhaled sharply, muttering under his breath, ”Could Oxyto be planning to merge this local spirit realm into his own Paramita, to make it more complete?

”Has he, no, she already partially succeeded, which is why you havenʼt detected her?”

Knight of Swords Maric paused for a moment before responding, ”Itʼs a possibility.”

After a brief pause, he added proactively, ”We also havenʼt seen that spirit realm.”

Seen... Lumian was initially startled but then understood what the Knight of Swords meant.

The Prisoner pathway could directly turn into wraiths, and they should have been able to see the spirit realm, but they found nothing in Raklev this time.

Lumian didnʼt respond but considered another issue.

If Oxyto has indeed begun to merge with that mini-spirit realm, she essentially becomes a local version of Death, and she must have sensed the Omebella bloodline in me...

What would her reaction be?

Instant anger, or seeing it as something to be exploited?

Why didnʼt she act directly? Right, she also used the bird-clawed monster baby to discover that Ludwig nearby had the aura of a corpse ʼmother,ʼ adding up to what clearly looked like bait, obviously a trap!

Thatʼs why she, accustomed to indulgence, held back. What she needs to do now is, seek assistance?

With that thought, Lumian removed his glasses and abruptly stood up.
