Bab 335: Twelfth Labor. Part 1

Lifting his head, Lucius turned to look towards Olivia and asked, "Heavy?"

"Yep. My entire body feels like it's carrying something really heavy on its back," replied Olivia.

Hearing her answer, Lucius nodded his head and said, "That's good."

"Good?"

"It means you've got one foot into the next Stage."

"I'm already there!?"

"Why wouldn't you be?" Lucius nonchalantly asked, returning to his resting pose.

"Well! I mean…I thought...," Olivia scratched her head in confusion and awkwardly asked, "Isn't this a bit too sudden?"

"Opportunities for ascension are sudden. Don't tell me you don't want to ascend?" Lucius asked with narrowed eyes.

"Of course, I want to ascend now," Olivia immediately shook her head. "I want to ascend as soon as possible."

"What's the issue then?" asked Lucius.
