Spiritism

Guillaume Béné felt a Chill run down his spine upon hearing Lumian's words, even though he had become Spirit Body.

Almost simultaneously, he felt a strange suction force, and involuntarily curled up, falling towards some place.

It was a huge, transparent Whirlpool, with a thin gray Gray Fog at its bottom. Within the Gray Fog was a dim village, and figures wandered around it.

One of the figures raised his head and looked up at the sky, where he saw Guillaume Béné struggling desperately to avoid falling into the Whirlpool.

His numb, Paleness face suddenly lit up with excitement and fervor, and he cried out, "Oh, my Deity, my Ruler, have you come too?"

"Come quick! Come quick!"

This figure belongs to Guillaume Béné's younger brother Pons Béné.

Sensing Pons Béné's "abnormality," the figures wandering through the dim village looked up and turned their gazes toward Guillaume Béné.

Among them, Madena Béné, a former mistress of Guillaume Béné, and Philippa Guillaume, among others, stretched out their Paleness arms to the sky, laughing blankly, "Come! Come!"

Immediately afterwards, the figures of Shepherd Pierre Berri and Lumian's friends Guillaume Berri and Azéma Lizier also made the same gesture.

In an instant, the dim village within the thin Gray Fog seemed to sprout Paleness, strange forest, and all hands pointed towards That One Parish Priest.

Guillaume Béné fell another distance, his Spirit Body nearly splitting apart in fright.

He desperately tried to "surface," wanting to escape the Whirlpool's influence and flee the extremely dangerous Lumian body.

He no longer cared about being "Rebirth" within the other's body and accepted the corresponding Destiny.

That was something he simply couldn't bear!

Lumian listened to the screams and panic emanating from within his body, and his smile grew even brighter.

As expected, the treatment received by possessing oneself using the "Rebirth" ability and being lured in by the "Summoning Dance" and forcibly possessed is completely different!

The former will connect with their own Destiny and try to Replacement, which will inevitably trigger the seal. Guillaume Béné, on the other hand, has long been deeply Corruption by Fate and will definitely resonate with the power of Fate within the seal.

Lumian couldn't guess what would happen if that happened, but he was sure it wouldn't be a good thing.

Sensing Guillaume Béné's strong desire to escape, Lumian not only did not stop him, but also voluntarily gave up interfering.

--After using the "Rebirth" ability, unless encountering specific abilities in a few fields such as "The Sun", Lumian has almost no way to expel Béné Guillaume his body if he does not want to, even using "Mirror Substitute" will not work. However, if Guillaume Béné himself wants to leave, things become very simple.

Finally, having exhausted a great deal of spiritual energy and endured some kind of influence, Guillaume Béné, who had become exceptionally vulnerable, struggled to escape from Lumian's body.

Just then, Lumian gently twisted his right wrist, using "Distortion" again.

A flash of dark Golden light appeared on his chest, and Guillaume Béné, who had just escaped terror and the "Gravity," was Distortion and redirected to his destination, appearing in the palm-sized Mirror in Franca's hand.

Franca conjured a layer of pure white Frost on her right palm and wiped it across the surface of the Mirror.

Guillaume Béné's figure was instantly encased in a layer of solid ice, sealed within the Mirror.

Then, Franca caused black Flames to float on the surface of the ice.

Ice alone cannot prevent a Spirit Body from escaping the Mirror, but Black Flame can. As long as Guillaume Béné dares to break free of the protection of the solid ice, he will be ignited by the Black Flame!

After "sealing" Guillaume Béné's Spirit Body, Franca looked up at Lumian, who had removed the crumpled paper, and said to the book, "Go outside to Spiritism. This place is full of your Flames and anesthetic gas."

Given her physical condition and energy expenditure, she could easily last another two or three minutes without using the "Mirror Substitute," but she could tell that Lumian was nearing her limit.

Lumian nodded, quickly turned around, and silently ran towards the exit of the "Fictional Bottle".

With Guillaume Béné's "death," the hidden trap there was naturally dispelled.

Upon returning to the sacrificial hall, Lumian immediately averted the "Face of Niser," no longer appearing as Franca in her Hood Black Robe.

His upper body was charred black in many places, but thanks to the control he gained after initially digesting the "Pyromaniac" Potion, even his pants were not seriously damaged.

Creating pain, stimulating the brain, and awakening oneself does not require burning the whole body; burning only part of the body has the same effect.

"Are you a masochist? You always end up looking like this in every battle." Franca, who followed behind, scolded her, half out of concern and half out of amusement.

Lumian glanced at the Mirror enveloped in Black Flame in Franca's hand and casually replied, "' Hunter ' are all like that."

"If I believed your Lie, I wouldn't be an ' Instigator '!" Franca wasn't unfamiliar with the battles fought by "Pyromaniac."

Seeing that they were still chatting, Jenna realized that the enemy had been captured and the matter was over, so she stepped out of the shadows.

Franca smiled at her, then turned to Lumian and said, "Wait a moment, don't rush. Guillaume Béné isn't completely dead yet. Once the effects of ' Rebirth ' wear off, he'll become a newly deceased spirit, confused and disoriented. At that time, ' Spiritism ' will be safer, and we won't have to worry about him lying."

After calculating how much longer he could wear the "Dignity" Brooch, Lumian said, "Let's just wait here."

According to the Mysticism knowledge he gained from the Gift, the "Rebirth" effect can only last for two minutes and will end soon.

If Lumian were to leave this place and spend time searching for a safer spot to "Spiritism," he would have to find another secluded place and endure an unpleasant and repulsive hour before he could finally "Spiritism."

By then, the best time for Spiritism will be missed.

Moreover, Lumian didn't want to wait any longer.

Franca nodded slightly, indicating her understanding.

She walked to the Altar, placed the Mirror in her hand on the Pitch-Black Ring symbol made of Thorns, and kept the black Flames Burning.

This is for Lumian's convenience in viewing.

Lumian gazed at the Black Flame and Guillaume Béné beneath the ice, at his face that was beginning to turn Paleness and blue, and with a bright smile, he said, "You're so foolish!"

"If I were you, I would use ' Steel Body ' and keep dodging without attacking until the enemy could no longer withstand the conditions."

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, my spirituality has long been below the warning line. I can neither ' Spirit World Traversal ' nor use the ' Heng-Ha Art.' I can only barely set off fires, change my face, and use Brooch. If you drag this out any longer, I will really reach my limit and I will definitely faint on the spot."

"My recklessness and slow reaction later on were partly because I didn't want to expend more spiritual energy and wanted to save it for crucial moments, while the ' Mirror Substitute ' consumed Franca's spiritual energy. On the other hand, well, hehe, it was to set a trap for you."

"Do you remember that giant flower of Flames? Without that 'gift' to complete the ' Bribery,' Franca's Curse would have had a hard time killing you, Sequence 5, in one fell swoop..."

Upon hearing the term "Heng-Ha Art," and recalling Lumian's previous feat of knocking out two fake Guillaume Béné, Franca's eyelids twitched, filled with both astonishment and bewilderment.

Jenna, watching Lumian constantly mocking the Spirit Body in the Mirror, tugged at Franca and whispered, "Should we Soothing him down?"

"No need." Franca shook her head, deliberately creating distance between herself and Lumian, giving him a "private" space to vent.

Jenna hummed in agreement, and as she followed Franca toward the edge of the sacrificial hall, she glanced one last time at the Paleness, bluish face reflected in the mirror, her features tinged with black.

Guillaume Béné, filled with resentment and fear, could no longer suppress his Despair.

"Dill" brothel, sixth floor.

On the other side of the balcony, Albus stood sideways in the corner, secretly glancing in the direction of room 602.

After Lumian and the others had "Teleportation" away, he emerged from his hiding place and chuckled softly, "Only Sequence 7 and already has Mystical Item that can traverse the Spirit World?"

"His relationship with ' Red Boots ' is more than just casual. Does Gardner Martin know this or not...?"

As he muttered this to himself, Albus's smile became ambiguous, tinged with a hint of mockery.

No. 50 Vincent Street, inside the Underground shrine hall.

Lumian continued his taunts until the "Rebirth" effect ended, and Guillaume Béné's eyes became glazed over.

Franca, estimating the time, arrived at the Altar and began creating a "Spirit Wall" as part of her preparations.

Soon, she began chanting Incantation in a low voice, using her self-created "Magic Mirror Spiritism."

Just as she was about to succeed, Lumian mustered her remaining strength and used the "Dignity" Brooch again to "Distortion" the questioner of the "Magic Mirror Spiritism" into herself.

In order to succeed once again, he used "Face of Niser" and transformed into Franca's appearance.

The Mirror suddenly became deep and dark, blurring Guillaume Béné's Paleness, bluish face slightly.

Lumian could no longer maintain the "Face of Niser" effect and reverted to his original form, looking at Guillaume Béné and saying, "Who made you believe in Fate?"

Although Franca was a little curious, she was worried that Lumian would ask something he shouldn't and cause her to be Corruption, so she opened the "Spirit Wall" and moved away from the Altar.

Guillaume Béné replied dazedly, "It's Aurora Lee!"

"After I discovered that someone was spreading the belief in Evil God, she secretly approached me and told me that it was very easy to obtain extraordinary power without having to beg from the Bishops, and that I would have the opportunity to gain Divinity, become Saint, Eternal Life forever."

"I didn't quite believe it at first, but I wanted to see if it was true or not, so I chose to remain silent. Later, I found that she was becoming more and more powerful, and I gradually changed my mind."

Lumian was silent for a few seconds, then asked with Gloom blue eyes, "Who made Aurora Lee believe in Fate?"

"I don't know." Guillaume Béné shook his head blankly.

Lumian considered for a moment and then asked:

What is something that has left a particularly strong impression on you about Aurora Lee?

Guillaume Béné's expression Change, as if recalling the doubt and fear he had felt at the time:

"She said, she said she wasn't Aurora Lee!"
