Once I decided that, I moved out and went directly to Lucias. His soulers were still training, sitting on the ground while their bodies were covered in a thick layer of black fog.
But that fog was shining brightly from time to time, in a regular rhythm. Some of them had a slow rhythm, while others had a faster rhythm.
The faster ones had faint green colour appearing in the black fog. That gave me the impression they were evolving, close from breaking through or something.
But I had to stop them. I could just call them back and store them inside my inventory. However I felt like this would mess up with what Lucias was doing here.
"Make them stop," I ordered, "the big fight is drawing near."
"Right away, lord," Lucias seemed more respectful to me than before. It seemed during this time, and after testing my ability to keep him alive for all these days without struggling, I proved my strength and abilities to him.
