“When did you…” Looking at that young man, everyone’s pupils constricted.
That young man calmly turned and looked at the elder.
Just a simple gaze from him made everyone present feel great apprehension and terror.
Let alone the elder, even Herdosiri, Mary and Orimo could feel the terrifying power.
The young man gave a slight smile as he looked at the elder, “Otherwise what?”
Hearing this, the elder could not help but stumble backwards, alook of terror on his face.
Perhaps to others, Chen Heng was not that terrifying, but for someone like him who served a god, he was very sensitive to Chen Heng’s energy.
In his senses, this young man was like he was made up of divine energy.
Just this aura alone made him want to kneel and worship this young man.
This was no mortal, but a high and mighty god.
But how was this possible?
Gods had long since vanished from this world and fallen into a slumber.
How could such a terrifying figure appear?
The elder had met the heads of many churches, but none of them could even come close to how terrifying this young man was.
Perhaps in terms of strength, those people were stronger, but in terms of essence, this young man far surpassed them.
The elder felt as if his body was going to explode under the pressure.
Not too far away, the young man named Raku was still moving, charging towards Chen Heng.
However, all Chen Heng did was raise his head and look over at him.
Boom!
A thunderous sound rang out as boundless might spread out.
Standing there, Herdosiri and Lamu looked forwards warily.
As they watched on, a shocking scene unfolded.
The young man’s big body slowly fell with a light crash.
Following this, this area fell silent.
Even Mary and Orimo, who were far away, were completely dumbfounded by this scene.
This was no ordinary person; he was a Second Ring Life Knight who was quite powerful.
And yet, he had fallen so easily.
As the young man’s opponent, Herdosiri knew his strength well.
They had exchanged many blows, but he had been unable to take him down.
However, for someone of Chen Heng’s level, all it took was a single look.
It was like crushing an ant.
As Chen Heng’s followers, they were sometimes worried that they had chosen the wrong lord.
A powerful and magnificent lord was something everyone dreamed of having.
For the elder, he felt as if he had fallen into hell, and was about to enter his god’s realm.
As he watched on, Chen Heng slowly turned and looked at him.
After looking at him for a while, Chen Heng shook his head, “That’s all there is to it.”
After speaking calmly, he waved his hand.
A terrifying pressure approached from all sides as a mental level intimidation appeared.
In just an instant, the elder was unable to bear it, and he directly fell.
Two enemies, one Second Ring Knight and one First Ring Priest were instantly defeated.
To Herdosiri and Lamu, this was to be expected, but to Mary and Orimo, it was incomprehensible.
However, they did not have time to say anything, because Chen Heng was already looking over.
“Long time no see, Your Highness.” Chen Heng said as he nodded, “IT has been many years. It is my honour to see you again.”
“You are being too humble.” Mary deeply breathed in before smiling and replying, “To be able to see you is my honour. I am very glad to have a friend like you to rescue me in my time of need, as well as take me in.”
“No need to be so courteous.” Chen Heng’s expression was calm as he looked at Mary, “Back then, when I just arrived at the Kalo Kingdom, it was you who prepared a place for me. It is time for me to repay you. Anyone would do the same.”
“Perhaps.” Hearing Chen Heng’s words, Mary gave a bitter smile.
In the past, she had helpd many people, but during her time of need, very few people were willing to stretch out their hands to her.
Moreover, the only one who could protect her was Chen Heng, the outsider.
This made her feel quite frustrated.
“Your Highness, there are many people with their eyes on you.” Chen Heng said, “For your safety, you should quickly come to my manor. The Hatim Territory welcomes you, and I will await your arrival here.”
Hearing Chen Heng’s words, Mary and Orimo were stunned.
He would await their arrival there?
Wasn’t he right here?
Following this, Chen Heng’s figure became transparent before disappearing.
Standing there and seeing this scene, no matter if it was Herdosiri and Lamu, or Mary and Orimo, they were all completely stunned.
“That was just… a projection…” Mary’s expression changed, not knowing what to say.
The power that Chen Heng had displayed was already amazing.
Mary had thought that that was Chen Heng’s limit.
Only now did she realise that she had been too naïve.
That terrifying existence had not been Viscount Hatim’s true body, but just a projection.
Could even a projection do something so terrifying?
Then his true body…
In the past, she had never imagined that there would be such a terrifying figure in the Kalo Kingdom.
“Your Highness…” Herdosiri and Lamu walked over and bowed to Mary, seeming quite respectful.
The two of them were also incredibly shocked towards Chen Heng’s performance.
However, compared to Mary and Orimo, it was easier for them to accept this.
After all, their current strength had been bestowed on them by Chen Heng.
Following this, they had the guards capture the young man and elder and tie them up.
After being suppressed by Chen Heng’s power, they had fallen unconscious.
In order to prevent anything unexpected, Herdosiri and Lamu set up many restrictions on their bodies, so as to prevent the two of them from going on a rampage when they woke up.
After all, the two of them were quite powerful.
They did not have Chen Heng’s strength, and could not suppress thems o easily.
“We’ll be troubling you.” She looked at Herdosiri and gave a sweet smile as she said, “It was thanks to your help that we’re still alive. Iexpress my thanks to you under the Kalo family’s name.”
She said softly as she bowed slightly.
Using her family name to express her thanks was the greatest way of showing one’s respect.
This was even more so given that Mary was a Princess.
However, Herdosiri and Lamu’s expressions remained calm, as if they were not looking at a Princess, but an ordinary woman.
Their performance caused Mary to stare and feel quite surprised.
However, she soon came to her senses and maintained her smile.
“The danger is over.” Herdosiri said softly, “Please rest at ease within the carriage; we will deliver you to our lord.”
Following this, he and Lamu turned and left.
Looking at them, Mary’s expression became quite complicated before she sighed.
“Your Highness…” Orimo’s expression was also quite grim, “Those two people are a bit too rude…”
“Yes…” Mary nodded before sighing, “But they have the right to be rude.”
For Mary, this was the lowest peiord of her life.
Ever since the assassination that day, her situation in the Kalo Kingdom had become more and more difficult.
Many reliable friends and seemingly-loyal Knights had become unreliable during her time of crisis.
this situation told her just what kind of position she was in.
Moreover, even despite all of that, Herdosiri and Lamu’s identities made it so that they had the right to be discourteous.
After all, behind them stood that unfathomable Viscount Hatim.
Thinking to that terrifying power that Chen Heng had demonstrated, her heart trembled and she did not know what to say.
“With his power, let alone me, he would not even take my father seriously…” Mary thought to herself.
That young man who had no standing when he had first come to the Kalo Kingdom had already grown to a massive figure. He was not jujst the ruler of a large area, but had immense power.
As for her, she was a Princess who had lost her footing, and was someone hunted down by others.
There was a massive dispiarty between their positions.
Thinking to there, she sighed.
Following this, she got into the carriage, while Orimo got on his horse and led the entourage forwards.
They did not travel too quickly, due to the fact that they had a carriage.
However, by now, there was no need to be in a hurry.
After all, they were already very close to Chen Heng’s territory.
In the distance, within a quiet courtyard, Chen Heng silently opened his eyes and looked into the distance.
“They’re here…” Thinking to that scene from before, he muttered to himself.
Back then, when he had sent his divine energy into Herdosiri and Lamu, he had sent a bit of his will into them as well.
That had created a mark, which could draw out the remnant divine energy within their bodies and manifest Chen Heng, revealing some of his power.
That was how Chen Heng had taken down those two people from such a far distance away.
Before his projection had disappeared, he had clearly seen what had transpired.
“A Second Ring Knight and an unknown Priest…” Chen Heng frowneda s he muttered, “Which god’s Priest was that?”
Priests were a unique profession that follow a god, and usually had a true god behind them.
Gods were not weak at all, and far surpassed the current Chen Heng.
Chen Heng could not be careless.
“How troublesome…” Chen Heng shook his head.
Of course, even though it was troublesome, there was nothing he could do about it.
He was already mentally prepared to come into contact with gods—after all, as he became stronger, he would face the threat of gods one day.
However, it was not time yet.
Following this, he walked into a room and silently waited for Mary and the otehrs’ arrival.
He did not have to wait too long.
In just three days, Mary and the others were escorted by Herdosiri and Lamu here.
They walked into Chen Heng’s manor and formally met with Chen Heng.
