Chapter 295 Intense Exhaustion



Lucius knew that it was possible to turn rune beasts into Lost, and this was the answer to his problem.

"I\'ll simply have to create special Lost from rune beasts and have them exact vengeance in my stead, and unlike these Lost, they\'ll be usefully disposable." Lucius said.

Compared to human turned into a Lost, the intellect of the Rune Beasts Lost were not exactly on a par with it and training one to understand complex commands were time-consuming.

It was why they were mostly suitable for tasks that were simple, like creating chaos and trouble for the Bergan\'s Band.

However, before Lucius could start to think of what rune beasts he was going to use, the man suddenly weakened, and he caught himself from falling.

"Tsk. A human body is still a human body." Lucius gritted his teeth and pressed a hand to his forehead, trying to alleviate the headache.

Even with the use of the Necklace of the Damned, Lucius couldn\'t still avoid the exhaustion that filled him. He didn\'t know how exactly long time passed while he used Soul Scry, but it was why he had asked Kiana for a day or two away from the mansion.

"I suppose I still have to make room for rest." Lucius said. As much as he wanted to continue working, there was no use to it if he fell prey to any sickness due to him ignoring his health and well-being.

Lucius could have chosen to stay at the reeducation center to rest, and when he went out of the laboratory, the people working there tried to offer it, however he refused.

He was not completely secure in the location as compared to the Inanis mansion itself, even with the recent assassination attempt.

Once Lucius arrived at the mansion, the servants quickly informed Kiana of the matter and she came out to meet him.

"Asher!" Kiana said, and she quickly looked at him with a frown on her face.

"Ah, Kiana. How long has it been since we last met?"

"A day and so."

"Hmmm… not too long as I expected. Thank you."

"Were you able to rest and eat while you were there? The people from the re education center should have checked on your condition."

"Hmm, I told them not to disturb me the same way that I asked you."

"I see."

"Well then, since my room has been burned the last time I was here… where am I temporarily staying? I would like to get some sleep." Lucius glanced tiredly around the hallway.

It was clear to Kiana that the man had not actually taken care of himself while he was at the laboratory.

She had respected his wishes and gave him space to work on the things he wanted to do, but now that he returned to the Inanis mansion and looked exhausted, it was time for her to support him.

"Before we get you to your room, you should eat something first." Kiana insisted. "As much as I\'d like for you to eat in your bed, you look like you\'d fall asleep while trying to eat."

"Alright." Lucius could have argued with her and disagreed, but he really didn\'t find the need to do so. He agreed with her decision.

Lucius soon found himself in the dining hall where he waited for his meal to be prepared. Kiana made sure that he stayed up by talking with her while they waited, and it took a bit of effort to stay up.

He normally would have asked for updates about what happened while he was gone, this time, it was mostly Kiana informing him of what occurred.

"… And you won\'t be doing anything but rest after this, alright, Asher?" Kiana said.

"Yes. That was what I had planned in mind."

"If you change your mind and try to return to the lab, I\'ll forbid the carriage from leaving. But it\'s good that you finally returned to eat and sleep."

When the food arrived, Lucius quickly set out to eat and replenish his energy.

He didn\'t think that he\'d be hungry as he mostly felt exhausted, but once he started eating, his appetite grew and he ate until he was fill.

"And this will be your room temporarily. We tried to replicate it to the design of your old room." Kiana said once she led him to a spare room inside of the manor.

However, she didn\'t need to explain more because Lucius quickly made his way to the bed.

"That will be all, Kiana. Thank you." Lucius called out to her, the drowsiness a heavy spell on him.

Kiana took it as a cue to leave, and once she did, Lucius quickly went to sleep. The moment that Lucius closed his eyes, he instantly passed out and time quickly went by.

When Lucius finally woke up, it was to the sound of quiet and hushed conversation.

He opened his eyes and found three people within his bedroom. Kiana, Countess Lita and Healer Delia was present as well.

Lucius raised a brow at the presence of the healer and wondered how long he had actually slept to warrant a healer\'s visit.

"O-oh! He\'s finally awake!" Kiana noticed at once when Lucius sat up and she quickly went to greet him. "Asher, how are you feeling?"

"Better. What is Healer Delia doing here? I haven\'t been actually asleep that long, have I?" Lucius asked.

He had used the Necklace of the Damned to shield himself when he used the Soul Scry spell, it shouldn\'t have actually been a lot of time.

"You were asleep for almost an entire day now." Countess Lita\'s brows furrowed together. "We were worried and had the healer check on you."

"And as I\'ve told the Countess and Miss Kiana here, you\'re simply exhausted, my lord." Healer Delia said. "There\'s no sign of any injuries on him."

"Thank you, Healer Delia. Since Asher is awake now, that will be all." Countess Lita thanked the healer who then took her leave.

Kiana meanwhile served a tray of breakfast for Asher.

Lucius took a sip of water, before he glanced at the two. Since they were both here, it was actually good to discuss what he had on mind right away.

"I\'d like to share my discovery, since I\'ve been gone for the past few days."
