If I did not already have prior knowledge about Yami and his abilities, we all would have fallen blindly into his trap.
Despite his madness and his eccentric, greedy nature, Yami was an incredibly smart and cunning person.
I could tell that Yami was not summoning more of his hollow Dominants, not because he was afraid to lose any more of them, or because he was running low on mana like the rest of us. Rather, I could see that right now, there was nothing Yami wanted more than for one of us to kill him.
Yami's bonded ability allowed him to take over the body of his killer by forcefully kicking their soul out and replacing it with his own. This aspect of his bonded ability was triggered automatically as the cost to use this part of his power was for a person to kill him.
