Narrow Escape

Luca stopped when he felt faint, and for the first time, he didn't pass out after exhausting himself like that.

Maybe it's because of the manuals he used or because he decided to pull away before getting too deep.

Since Luca was an inexperienced Guide, he barely had any idea of his maximum limit.

Typically, Guides back in Tesseris were trained in this to avoid exhausting themselves. They were too precious, and just one breaking their core from depletion would be a huge loss to society—unless, of course, you were Lucas.

But it was probably karma of some sort because it was nearly impossible to drain Lucas of his energy, and he was able to hold on for much longer than they expected.

However, that was prior to entering this body.

For some reason, although he could freely use his spiritual energy, his vessel wasn't as big as usual.

And this was rather difficult for someone who was so used to relying on his spiritual powers for everything.
