章 260: Malus

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 strange force, and a set of chains erupted from his left eye.

They were golden chains, seemingly made of pure light, emitting the same type of energy as most of the solar crux's spells. The major difference being that its energy felt a million times denser.

As the chains wrapped around Lucius's body, he felt his link to the crux severed, and he could no longer call on any energy.
