Chapter 29 Transformation
Chapter 29 Transformation
Lucian's body faintly glowed as the Energy spread throughout his body. He felt his Mana reserves expanding, his physical strength increasing, and his senses sharpening. The pure 'Celestial Energy' cleansed every part of him, making him feel warm and comfortable.
Although Lucian was excited, his focus quickly shifted to near his heart, where the 'Celestial Energy' had converged.
Soon, Lucian began feeling a strange, yet profound sensation.
Lucian watched as the 'Celestial Energy' began twisting and turning. It was not painful or even uncomfortable... He felt... As if what was happening was natural.
The process was slow, but Lucian did not mind. He continued to wait patiently as time ticked by.

Thunderfall City Adventurer's Guild Branch
On one of the many tables within the Adventurer's Guild, the members of Lion's Liver were sitting and eating after they were done preparing for the escort quest tomorrow.
Hervy cleared his throat and wiped his hands with a tissue. After getting his friends' attention, his expression changed to worry.
"Captain, are you sure you don't want me to go and tell owner Lucian that we are leaving at five in the morning tomorrow?"
Of course, had it not been for the saliva he just swallowed and the fact that he had asked that same question for the sixth time, they might have believed him.
After a while, Garrett sighed and stood up with a shake of his head.
"Unless you want to get blacklisted, go ahead. I'm going home."
Lane, Cody, and Coby nodded at their Captain's words, then stood up. It was getting dark. They wanted to rest early for the escort quest tomorrow.
After hearing the word 'blacklisted' Hervy's fake worried expression changed to real worry. The last thing he wanted was to get blacklisted from Transcendence. That place was his Heaven.
Quickly, Hervy stood up and said:
"I'll see you guys tomorrow."
"Haah, which idiot pissed off a Noble?"
On the side of the street, when a middle-aged woman with way too much makeup on her face saw Garrett's handsome appearance, she felt her cheeks blushing. She licked her lips and eyed him like a predator, but hesitated to approach him. The difference between her and a Noble was too big. Internally, she thought, but due to her agitated mood, she accidentally spoke out loud in a meek voice:
"He's so handsome..."
She gulped and then added:
"I really want to devour him!"
When the bystanders heard the meek-sounding voice, they turned in the direction of the voice and became slackjawed.
Of course, they had no idea who the handsome man was and thought he was someone from the Nobles District who became offended and came here to beat someone up.
Although Garrett was internally embarrassed, he kept a composed face outwardly.
After walking for ten minutes, Garrett finally arrived at a one-story wooden building with only a single window, covered by an equally brown drape, next to the door.
Garrett lightly knocked on the door and waited. Soon, he heard a soft pitter-patter sound, causing a smile to grace his lips.
Garrett heard the sound of the door's lock being opened, followed by the creaking of the door as it opened, revealing a pink-haired, pink-eyed beautiful woman.
Even after seeing her big brother outside the door, Lily did not greet him as she usually would.
Before opening the door, she already knew who was outside with her Mana Sense.
Lily glanced at Garrett from the corner of her eye, pouted with annoyance clearly evident in her tone, and then walked back into the house with her arms on her hips.
Lily was still annoyed at him for not telling her about the delicious Siren's Melody Poached Egg.
Could it be that his friends were more important than her?
Therefore, Lily decided to give him the silent treatment.
