Lord of Mysteries 2: Circle of Inevitability

www.wuxiaspot.com, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Lord of Mysteries 2: Circle of Fate!

Based on the orthodox summoning ritual described in Aurore's witchcraft notes and the occult knowledge of the "contracted person", Lumian read in a deep voice in ancient Hermes:

"The "fool" who does not belong to this era;

“You are the master above the gray mist;

“You are the yellow and black king of good luck.

“I pray for your favor;

“Pray for your attention;

"I!

"In the name of the great "Fool" I summon:

"The strange creatures that roam the upper world, the mysterious existence of severed hands, the black and swollen throat-breaker."

This is a summoning spell that Lumian designed based on the information about "Abscessed Hand". Because this ritual will obtain the protection of the praying object to a certain extent, and "Abscessed Hand" cannot be called dangerous, so he removed it. The descriptions related to "weak" and "friendly" have been added, and other sentences have been added to ensure that the target creatures are accurately pointed out.

The candlelight, which was originally dyed with a blue-black color, suddenly expanded and intertwined, forming an illusory door full of mysterious patterns, while a thin gray mist had already filled the surroundings, full of unsettling meaning.

The door slowly opened, and a blue-black severed hand that was so rotten that it was swollen and leaking pus flew out. It was two sizes larger than Lumian's hand and seemed to be able to crush a human's head directly.

The abscessed severed hand was suspended in front of the mysterious illusory door. Its fingers were spread out and aimed at Lumian's neck, but it did not launch an attack.

Lumian took out another military flask of a different color, unscrewed the lid, and poured some strong wine toward the altar where the "abscessed hand" was.

The wine fell to the ground midway, but with the flash of light from the gorse-shaped brooch, the "bribery" was quietly completed.

Lumian then opened his mouth, his throat and chest resonated, and he spit out words with strange pronunciations.

He had never learned those words before, and they all came from the occult knowledge of the "contracted person", which allowed him to directly grasp the pronunciation and meaning.

They belong to the "secret language of destiny" and are part of this language.

As Lumian's voice stirred up the air, each silver-black word like a symbol was outlined out of thin air.

They landed on the imitation parchment placed on the altar one after another, forming a brief but strange contract.

At the same time that the contract was generated, Lumian established a subtle connection with the "Abscess Broken Hand", just like using the "Dance of Recruitment" to let it attach to his body.

Through this, Lumian grasped the general abilities and characteristics of the "Abscessed Hand" and sensed its desire.

The latter is the price Lumian needs to pay:

"Find my body or you will never achieve divinity!"

I can actually advance the reward, and the price is owed first... Is this "bribery" having a certain effect? ​​No, it's not. Once I sign the contract, I will pay the price immediately, but what I pay is "the fate of becoming a demigod", etc. I found all the remaining parts of the "Abscessed Hand" body, and the reward will naturally replace the price... Now it is equivalent to giving enough collateral first... Thoughts flashed through Lumian's mind, and he roughly understood the purpose of this contract. Nature.

At the same time, he found the "spiritual world travel" he wanted from the abilities and characteristics of the "Abscessed Hand" including "anti-divination", "hard to destroy" and "can crush the neck of a godless person" .

This is the characteristic of "Abscessed Hand" itself rather than its ability. The effect is a little worse than Lumian expected, but it is still within the range he can accept.

Because "Decent" can only be used for a quarter of an hour, the price is affordable, and the ability barely meets the requirements, so Lumian did not waste time summoning another alternative creature and directly made a promise in ancient Hermes:

"I will help you find a body. Before that, I cannot obtain divinity."

These words blended with the surrounding environment, turning into a trace of green and black mist, penetrating into the imitation parchment paper.

The "Abscessed Hand" then disappeared, leaving yellowish and **** pus in the blank space of the contract.

The contract spontaneously ignited instantly, burning out multiple silver-black symbols and words.

They connected end to end, forming an illusory and complex pattern, and suddenly shrank into Lumian's shoulders.

Although he was covered by clothes, the position of his right shoulder naturally emerged in Lumian's mind.

There was a black thing like a weird seal.

Lumian instinctively believed that as long as he activated this contract mark, he could use the "abscessed hand" to travel through the spiritual world. Unless one of the two died, the contract could not be terminated. This was a destined fate.

Regardless of experimenting with "spiritual world travel", Lumian ended the summons and began a new ritual:

...

"In the name of the great "Fool" I summon:

"The resentful spirit lingering in illusion, the bride who lost her head, the source of the curse of the clan's bloodline."

The mysterious illusory door appeared again due to the intertwining of green and black firelight, and the cold wind blew out from inside, making the summer night look like a winter night.

Lumian saw a figure walking out of the illusory door. It was wearing a bright red, festive dress with a large number of patterns embroidered with golden silk thread.

There is no doubt that this figure has no head, and the strong resentment and hatred spread out like a substance.

Lumian followed the process just now, "bribed" with wine, read out the contract, and sensed the price demanded by the "Headless Bride":

"Sacrifice a blood relative or friend."

"Thank you for your hard work." Lumian chuckled self-deprecatingly and ended the summons directly.

This time the call had no effect, but he actually gained something, that is, he confirmed that "bribery" can produce a certain effect:

The "Headless Bride" was originally supposed to only ask for the sacrifice of blood relatives, but after being "bribed", the conditions were relaxed to include friends.

Lumian’s next target is the “Mantis with a Human Face”, and the designed summoning sentence is:

"The resentful spirit wandering in illusion, the hunter who looks like a mantis, the human face that is good at changing."

With a strange swishing sound, a huge, translucent cyan mantis crawled out from behind the illusory door.

It has a young, handsome, and sunny face on its head, which makes people subconsciously relax their guard.

After realizing the existence and gender of the summoner, the mantis with a human face quickly transformed into a beautiful woman wearing a black evening gown.

Lumian secretly said "ha" and completed the complete process of "bribery", chanting and induction.

There are three kinds of "sacrifice" that "Human Faced Mantis" asks for, and you only have to pay one of them.

"The reproductive organs of the contractor; the contractor's ability to lie; the contractor's punishment at the stake."

After being "bribed", the conditions were relaxed and he had one or two more choices? There is actually only one thing this guy wants, and that is "torture of human beings"... The first one corresponds to the jealousy of those men. If I were a woman Yes, this choice should not appear... The second one corresponds to the detractors and false accusers, and the third one corresponds to the burning torture he himself suffered... Lumian quickly made a judgment.

As an "arsonist", he sees no problem with the third price. On the one hand, he has a strong ability to resist flames. On the other hand, enduring pain is his strong point.

Without this option, Lumian planned to give up and go back to find a few similar spiritual creatures to summon. After all, depriving him of lies would significantly weaken him and even make it impossible for him to survive in a place like Trier, and he was not sure After sacrificing the reproductive organs, I don’t want to risk whether I can come back at six o’clock in the morning.

He quickly found the "Nese Face" he wanted from the series of abilities of the "Human Face Mantis".

"Nisse" is the name of the human-faced mantis during his lifetime. The nature of this ability is closer to illusion than to changes in the body's flesh, flesh and bones. However, as long as he does not have the ability to restrain it and does not possess divinity, he cannot see through the illusion.

This time, a black mark fell on Lumian's left shoulder, accompanied by red flames rising from the soles of his feet.

Unaffected by Lumian, they ignited his clothes and burned his body.

Lumian seemed to have returned to the moment when he was fighting Susanna Mattis, feeling familiar yet unfamiliar pain coming in like a tide, trying to flood his mind.

He quickly threw all his valuable belongings aside and held the "respectable" brooch in his palm.

The burning torture lasted for a full three minutes. Lumian was burned to the point where his skin was no longer intact, and there were scorch marks left on his clothes.

For the "Arsonist", such an injury cannot be considered fatal, not even serious. He even has the energy to prepare for the next call.

"A weird creature that roams the upper world, a piece of flesh with a lot of eyes, a participant in the deep nightmare."

As the incantation was uttered, a mass of creatures composed of many flesh and blood rolled out of the illusory door, and each piece of flesh and blood had an eye with white kernels and black pupils.

After being seen by countless eyes, Lumian, who was holding an aluminum-white military flask, suddenly fell down and fell asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, he woke up and found that the ceremony had ended naturally. The "thousand-eyed evil thing" returned to the spirit world and did not really attack him.

You'll fall asleep when you see it, and you won't be able to communicate at all... And this level of influence is not protected by the ritual itself... Lumian breathed out, picked up the pocket watch from Breeze Ballroom that he had just thrown aside, and checked the time. .

Fortunately, okay, I only slept for a few minutes, and there were about three minutes left... Lumian calmed down, restarted the ritual, and summoned the "Screaming Shadow":

"...

"The spirit wandering in illusion, the combination of many shadows, the maker of coma and screams."

The mysterious illusory door opened, and what Lumian saw was not a tangle of weird shadows, but a blurry shadow covered in dark armor like fish scales.

Its scaly surface was different from all the armor Lumian had seen in newspapers and magazines, and each scale seemed to block a miniature creeping shadow.

Uh... The summoning spell is not accurate enough, and it has produced a similar spirit world creature? It should also have a coma and scream. Let's try to see if we can sign a contract first... Lumian probably understands what is going on, and starts a new round. "Bribery", chanting and induction.

The sacrifice that this armored shadow wants is:

"A blood sacrifice of more than ten people or gold worth 100,000 ferkin."

Because of the "bribe", the conditions were relaxed to sacrifice within three months, otherwise the contract would be backfired.

That could lead to loss of control and even death.

100,000 Firkin... Lumian felt that this was barely acceptable, so he searched for the coma scream from the armored shadow's abilities and characteristics.

While browsing quickly, he discovered an ability with a strange name:

"The art of humming."
