Very clearly, Mirelle was incredibly important to the old lady.
Perhaps not even the old lady, but whatever cult she belonged to. In fact, thinking back to what I had managed to gather, it appeared to be the cult leader who was interested in Mirelle.
Something about needing her to help them advance.
The old lady's reaction was all that I needed to see to confirm such thoughts.
Seeing how she followed all of my instructions, and even went as far as cancelling whatever rite she was trying to perform, I understood just how important Mirelle was to her and the cult.
I took advantage of that.
The strange barrier in front of me vanished in an instant. Without hesitation, I lunged straight at the old woman instead of running away.
"You—!"
The old lady's face contorted and twisted the moment she saw me lunge in her direction, but I didn't care and immediately lashed down with my hand as the Dreamwalker in her grasp squirmed and made things more difficult for her.
