These 'Gluttons' became massive in size, often reaching heights of over ten meters. They were simply 'Giants' in a sense and ate whatever came in their way. They were quite resistant to damage, both physical and magical.

Only light magic and holy magic could harm them and as for the physical damage, an entire army would be needed to kill just one of them. But that was not the problem, as sending an army to fight a glutton was often a great mistake.

While an army had the advantage of numbers, that didn't really work well against a Glutton. An individual soldier of the army might not even be as strong as an average Lost, not to mention a Glutton.

This ended up with the gluttons eating the army soldiers, while the rest exhausted their stamina. First of all, the damage done was quite less and even the little damage that was done was healed by the Glutton.

There were actually instances in history where a single glutton had defeated an army and came out without a scratch in the end. In fact… they might become even stronger.

They were one of the trump cards of the Great Barrom clan against their foes along with the Lost 'Generals'. In order to deal with a Glutton, a bishop of the Tharian theocracy was needed or even an elite paladin.

Only their holy magic was potent enough to cause enough sustained damage that could kill a Glutton. Other than that, holy weapons that were personally blessed by an arch-bishop or higher were needed.

While one would think that these Gluttons were very strong trump cards of the Barrom clan, they wouldn't be fully correct. While the gluttons were indeed quite strong, putting them into the battle was the tough part.

Their size often made it difficult to transport them to battlefields. There were only a handful of airships that could even carry a Lost. Plus, there was the additional factor that the Glutton might just end up eating the handlers and the airship itself.

While the gluttons were strong, they weren't really smart. In fact, they might be far dumber than most animals. Even a general class Lost could not command them. Not because they could defy them, but that they simply did not understand orders.

In simple words, they were simply brain dead. All they knew was to eat and then eat more.

Of course, in the current situation, Doyle was far from becoming a Glutton as that often needed several years of continued feeding to reach. But even then, he finished up the three Long Fang Wolf corpses in less than ten minutes.

While he was doing this, Lucius decided to take care of the man's corpse. Since they needed it later on, he couldn't just let it lay round in the open. While the chances were low, there was still the chance of another animal coming here and eating it, or worse even another person.

"Come help me carry him to the side." Lucius asked.

"Sure," Kiana said, and assisted him.

He picked his corpse along with Kiana and put it right beside the log where he had been sitting before. The log had rotten from one side and had thus become hollow. While it was not exactly the size of the corpse, it would still be enough to hide most of the corpse.

But while he was doing this, Lucius suddenly felt something.

"Huh?" Lucius narrowed his eyes and activated Nexus.

In the next second, a string of words appeared in front of him.

"This… how is this possible?" Lucius muttered.

Kiana heard his words too, but didn't understand what he was talking about.

Lucius had used Nexus on dead people before, and it had not worked. It was the same for dead rune beasts as well.

As for whether the man was alive?

He was obviously not considering that his torn heart was exposed in his chest right now.

Doyle had evidently tried pulling it out before. But when the information that nexus showed Lucius became cleared, he realized it was not the usual information that he got.

Gift Name: Penetrator Arrows

Description: Allows the user to reinforce arrows and make them stronger. This also increases the penetrating strength of the arrow. The higher the quality of arrows used, the stronger the effect will be.

Rank: Rare

Type: Enhancement

Evolution: Not possibles

Lucius could finally understand why the arrow had managed to pierce through the defense of Doyle before. But there were other factors that didn't make complete sense to him. The first being the evolution of the gift; it showed up as impossible.

Other than his own gift, Lucius had not seen any other gift that could not be evolved. In fact, he was doubting whether this was even correct.

'What if…' Lucius thought of something and used hell aether with nexus.

But surprisingly, it failed. Nexus didn't activate and his hell aether was not used either.

'Huh… nexus should have shown more information… information about other owners of the gift, but it shows nothing. Could it be picking up something else instead? What else could trigger Nexus… it would have to be something with a gift in it. Which means… another artifact?' Lucius wondered.

He quickly checked the body of the man but did not find any artifacts on him.

"Not an artifact? That what else…" Lucius muttered in confusion.

After thinking for five minutes, a thought came to him.

'The only other thing that can have a gift would be a rune crystal.' Lucius thought.

To confirm his theory, he took out one of the Long Fang Wolf Rune crystals he had and used nexus on it.

"Lo-and-behold… it works…" Lucius said to himself.

The more he looks the more he smiled.

"This might just open up more opportunities than I thought…" Lucius said as he put the rune crystal away for now.

"First though… I have to see what you are hiding within you, mystery man…" Lucius stated as he inserted his hand into the man's chest!
