Festival of Lights · Diwali
Lumian left Trier for the Sea of Fog, where a string of supernatural dangers followed him aboard the Flying Bird and into Falin Port. He baited Devil Warlock Bourman into attacking, survived the encounter, and left Falin Port with bloodstains for Franca to investigate.
Lumian killed Bourman, followed a trail of mysteries to Santa Port, and became entangled in the Fishing Guild’s Sea-Praying Ritual. As he investigated the Paco family and its lizard-like creature, Noelia revealed the ritual’s effects and warned him that stopping it could take a Saint or a Grade 1 Sealed Artifact.
Lumian investigated the Fishing Guild, Norfie’s disappearance, and the Sea-Praying Ritual, uncovering that the ceremony drew power from a sealed palace and had been sabotaged by April Fool’s Day. The ritual failed again as Wandering Poet removed the altar’s accumulated power, while a mysterious nun and the hidden motives of Norfie’s allies left the danger unresolved.
Lumian and his allies stopped Lato Giaro and April Fool’s Day from taking control of the spaceship beneath Santa Port and releasing its embryonic black hole. After the confrontation, Lumian followed new leads about Dilan Ancient Castle and returned toward Cordou Village, while Jenna and Franca noticed a mysterious woman in Santa Port.
Lumian dealt with the Divine Descent School’s attempt to bring forth an invisible Divine Child aboard the Berry, then investigated a devil’s legend on Hunt Island after Naporidisli’s bargain ended in Flores’s death. The island’s repentant devil identified itself as Naporidisli, leaving Lumian facing questions about its past and the figure sinking into black wastewater.
Lumian left Hunt Island’s devil mystery behind and pursued Hisoka in Port Pylos, uncovering a trail through the old murders and the Patrol Team. With help from his allies, he captured Hisoka and advanced to Reaper, but Hisoka’s ties to a Norse Family devil remained unresolved.
Lumian defeated Hisoka and followed his trail to Tizamo, where he uncovered a recurring dream tied to the Dream Festival and a black boulder in the jungle. The festival began turning the town’s residents violent, and Lumian’s group ended up searching for Amandina after finding her missing from Palm Manor.
Lumian investigated the Dream Festival’s murders and the Black Ancient Tomb, killing Hisoka and confronting the tomb’s strange powers. After returning to Tizamo, he learned more about the Golden Mask and set rules for next year’s festival before taking Ludwig and Lugano back to Trier.
Lumian advanced to Fate Hunter and led Franca, Jenna, and Anthony in capturing Moran Avigny despite the School of Truth's interference. Their interrogation exposed a nearly completed scheme in Trier and led Lumian to identify the People in the Mirror's leader as Roselle Gustav in the mirror.
Lumian and his companions uncovered the School of Truth’s People in the Mirror and fought Supervisor Perle, while Lumian learned more about the True Creator’s plans and explored the Blue Avenger. After eating a dish made from Ombella’s remains, he went to the Trier Catacombs to search for Harrison and recognized an aged administrator from the Samaritan Woman Spring chamber.
Lumian and his allies pursued Oseto through Lacray’s Undead Kingdom and into the Underworld, where they fought her monstrous child near Gregrace’s corpse and the black egg. Lumian escaped with half of the Abscessed Severed Hand, but Gregrace began awakening and the egg’s connection to Ombella remained unresolved.
Lumian helped Franca advance in Banaam Harbor before traveling to Lenburg and entering Morola, where he searched for the Abscessed Severed Hand. He found part of its corpse, learned Albus had hidden its head, and discovered that Julie was a Witch of Pain who preyed on men.
Lumian studied Morola’s underground mysteries while shifting alliances and a sabotaged ritual brought down Gusin’s group. In Trier, Franca’s team killed the Person in the Mirror Griffith and uncovered the Mirror People’s plan, as Julie began a final operation that ended with Lies dead.
Lumian entered Morola’s Underground Mausoleum, became entangled with 0-01’s corruption, and helped thwart Julie and Sallys before leaving as the artifact’s proxy. Back in Trier, he joined Franca and Jenna in investigating the Special Mirror World and the Samaritan Woman Spring, where he and Amandina walked into the spring’s fog.
Lumian and his allies uncovered Harrison’s connection to Penglai and the Whirlpool Plan, while Roselle’s resurrection and the ritual drew powerful forces into conflict. The arc ended with Roselle resurrected as the Black Emperor and Amon appearing before Lumian as both himself and Termiboros.
Lumian learned how Amon had shaped his life, chose to pursue Aurora’s revival on his own terms, and became a Witch of Despair. He investigated Ombella and the Witch Sect, helped his companions advance, and received a Lucky Gold Coin as preparations to enter Mr. Fool’s dream continued.
Lumian and his companions entered Mr. Fool’s dream to observe Zhou Mingrui and identify the Celestial Worthy’s presence. Their investigation exposed a marionette linked to Mushu Hospital, while Arrodes’s warning and Anderson’s unusual remarks left them with further leads to pursue.
Lumian and his companions pursued contact with Zhou Mingrui by joining the Intis Group while investigating Rosanne’s paintings and corruption. After treating Rosanne and disposing of her dangerous painting, they arranged further contact with Zhou Mingrui and Anderson Hood, while Lumian investigated the injured security guards at Mushu Hospital.
Lumian and his allies investigated Zarathustra’s influence over Zhou Mingrui and the dream, while An Xiaotian’s strange condition suggested a possible route to awakening the World. The arc left them preparing to act against Zarathustra, with Arrodes revealing that Peng Deng had most recently rented the mirror.
Lumian and his allies killed Zarathustra, uncovered his replacements and the danger hidden beneath Mushu Hospital, and tried to weaken the Celestial Worthy while awakening Zhou Mingrui. The arc ended with Franca completing her advancement in the abyss and Lumian going below to find her as the way to save someone there seemed to require the Great Mother’s help.
