Chapter 259: Without Both Of You, My World Is Just Filled With Darkness

An hour before sunrise, Lux slowly opened his eyes. After finding himself in an unfamiliar room, his gaze landed on the old lady that was resting on a chair beside him.

"Grandma," Lux muttered.

Vera, who was half-asleep, and half-awake, opened her eyes to look at her Grandson.

"Good morning, Lux," Vera said before placing her hand over the Half-Elf's forehead, and neck. "It seems that you have developed the Abyss Fever. You should rest for a while longer."

Lux shook his head. "Grandma, if I close my eyes now to sleep, I will sleep for a long time. Please, help me stand up."

Vera frowned but after seeing Lux's determined gaze, she had no choice but to help him stand up.

"What are you planning to do?" Vera inquired. "In your current state, it will be hard for you to fight in the tournament."

"It's fine, Grandma," Lux answered. "I can do it. I will win for sure."

"Maybe Iris is right. I should have cooked pork stew last night."
