Chapter 148: Partners
Luckily, Lucy and Lucius couldn’t use the blessings created and left in the library anymore. So the current situation wouldn’t make any difference for them. And Meru had given Darian a few tips, so he felt confident he could help them build a foundation.
The main thing was to understand how their mutant spiritual root worked. A normal one was only meant to store the power of the ring and connect to the heavenly laws to use the blessing.
Darian ran a few tests his master had taught him.
In the end, he found out that his black and white power wasn’t compatible with them. But...
"Bro, why do I feel something weird and cold coming from her now?"
Lucius asked in a low voice, then shot a wary glance at Niara. That feeling had only appeared now that he’d formed the ring and the physical body. It was such a strong and unnatural sensation that he asked directly. But clearly, he was on the defensive and avoided looking her in the eyes... like she was some kind of monster.
Darian was surprised and turned to Lucy. She confirmed she felt the same, shooting a cold look as sharp as a blade toward Niara.
Darian sighed, pointed at their two Summoners, and asked if the twins felt anything.
They focused.
In the end, they did feel something — much weaker — but they noticed it clearly. For Darian, that was enough of a confirmation. There was a big difference between Niara and those two.
"What you’re feeling is karma," Darian said with a sigh.
