~Hopefully, one of them knows something about Rena. Or at the very least, they may be able to teach us new spells,~ Lucius thought to himself. "A-As you wish, Lighted One," Pagan replied hesitantly, clearly disappointed with the way things were going to turn out. * A minute passed, before Ghost's figure appeared right above Lucius's shadow, four of the eight spider legs that spawned out of her back slowly lifting her off the ground. "You were right Luci, they have several guards hidden behind…-

"We won't be too long. If something happens, make sure the rest of the commune gets to safety and protect Asclepius's pod as long as possible. Worst-case scenario, try to make as much noise as possible while you battle. My hearing has improved, so there's a chance I'll be able to hear it," Lucius commanded, to which Hannibal nodded his head slowly. Lucius understood that leaving Hannibal as the sole protector of the camp was going to be risky, to say the least. However, without Ghost and Pagan coming…

Lucius managed to get to the 2-hour mark without much issue; however, only an instant later, the 'overheat' from photosynthesis came like a tidal wave, hitting him all at once. Before he knew it, the 'branding' marks on his body began to glow brightly before catching flames. Pagan and the bear-man leader rushed to Lucius's side, with Pagan instantly casting 『Solar Cleanse』. However, this did nothing to satiate the branding. Only a moment later, Lucius's eyes were forcefully opened by some…

"Take all those who passed out back inside. Those of you who want to rest can go in as well," Lucius added right after, now looking at the few leaf-beings and shrooms who remained. In total, only around 6 minutes of photosynthesis had gone by, amounting to approximately 373,000 helios, meaning that Asclepius had taken around 400 000 helios total to evolve. No doubt the remaining shrooms - which consisted of only the chieftains - would evolve soon as well. Something that Lucius wasn't ready to go…

"Champion or not, working above the means of your Rena is a crime. A toll must be paid," the... thing in front of Lucius boomed, its voice identical to his as well. To say the least, Lucius was completely caught in a daze, unable to process what was going on. "The punishment for this crime would normally be your life. But yours is one of greater destiny. As my champion, I cannot snuff you out before you carry out my will," the thing continued. "God... you're a god?" Lucius stuttered, more to…

~Skip. Just tell me how to fix this!~ Lucius interrupted, already attempting to use Elmando to try and force the constantly expanding ball of energy back into a more stable form. ~Yeah, no shit. Tell me how!~ Lucius shot back, the core now at a stage where it seemed like it would burst at any moment. Sadly, try as he might, Elmando simply would not work. The energy he was trying to command was not his; an apparent prerequisite required by Elmando for the manipulation of energy. He quickly…

"Any word from Hannibal?" Lucius asked as he approached Pagan, who seemed to be daydreaming. "Pagan?" he called out, now standing right beside him. ~He's probably still upset about not taking part in the photosynthesis session,~ Lucius thought to himself as Pagan snapped out of his daze. Pagan's facial expressions went through several changes over the span of a second once he realized that it was Lucius who was right beside him. In the end, he bowed with both his hands on the ground and whispered…

* As Lucius strode through the hallways, he noticed the leader of the bear-men standing guard at one of the tunnel checkpoints. At this moment everyone was already prepared, they only awaited word from Hannibal and the other scouts to proceed to the surface. "Allocate one of your kinsmen to this post, I want you to walk with me," Lucius said as he came to stop, regarding the leader of the bear-men. "My lord," the bear-man leader whispered as he bowed, before turning to command one of his…

As he walked through the hallways, he could sense excitement in the air. It seemed even those who were not going to evolve were preparing to go to the surface as well. Normally Lucius would stop this, as showing such a large group on the surface would no doubt attract some attention. However, he supposed that this was probably Pagan's doing. No doubt an attempt to show his 'followers' what sort of gifts they could attain if they continued to follow the Elwood family. In other words, it was a…

"Are you ready for your evolution?" he asked once they were alone, his tone shifting from one of a 'leader' to that of a friend. "Well, I won't know until it happens," Asclepius replied. Although she always put up a strong front, Lucius could tell she was a little nervous. And he couldn't blame her. She would be the first non-leafling creature to try and evolve, and it went without saying that it wasn't completely certain it would go smoothly. As much as everyone took Lucius's words as fact,…
