"Since when …"
Looking at the young man's figure, everyone's pupils constricted, and their hearts trembled. It was as if they had never thought that this would happen.
Under their gazes, the young man's expression was calm, and he seemed to sense everyone's gazes. He slowly turned and looked at the elder in front of him.
It was just a simple gaze, and it did not exert much power. But even so, the moment this pair of eyes looked at them, everyone present could not help but feel their hearts palpitate, and a sense of fear surged from the bottom of their hearts.
It was as if they were being stared at by a ferocious beast, and they felt incredibly heavy and terrifying. Even their hearts madly thumped as they felt a terrifying pressure.
This feeling was extraordinarily real, and extraordinarily terrifying.
Not to mention the old man in front of him, even Hedoshiri, Guromary, Ory, and the others in the distance could feel this terrifying power.
It felt incredibly heavy.
"What else did you say …"
Standing there and looking at everyone who had suddenly stopped moving, the young man gave a slight smile. His gaze fell on the elder in front of him as he said, "Now, can you tell me the answer …"
"You … you …"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man couldn't help but move back. He retreated a few steps, and his expression became exceptionally terrified.
Perhaps to others, even though Chen Heng was terrifying, the pressure they felt was not that great.
However, for a priest who served a god and used the god's power as his foundation, he could sense Chen Heng's power very clearly.
From what he sensed, this young man seemed to be an amalgamation of divine power.
At every moment, there would be a large amount of divine power gathering on his body and expanding. The entire process was extremely fast and terrifying. It was as if a star was swallowing and spitting matter. That feeling of vastness and grandeur appeared in people's hearts, giving people a terrifying feeling.
He didn't even have to do anything else. Just sensing the aura and the terrifying nature of the power was enough to make him want to kneel down and kowtow to the young man in front of him.
It was as if this young man was not an ordinary person but a high and mighty god.
However, how was this possible?
The gods had long since disappeared from this world and had fallen into a deep slumber.
How could there still be such a terrifying figure at this time?
If it were not for the current era, the traces of the gods would have disappeared long ago and fallen into a deep slumber.
Otherwise, the old man would have thought that the young man in front of him was the incarnation of a god.
In the past, he had come into contact with several bishops of the church, and even one of the popes.
However, even those who stood at the pinnacle of theocracy did not feel as terrifying as the young man in front of him.
Perhaps in terms of strength, these people were a level higher, but in a certain nature, the young man before them far surpassed them, reaching an even more terrifying level.
What exactly is this …
Standing where he was, various thoughts flashed through the elder's mind. At that moment, he felt as if his entire body was about to explode, and he was about to be unable to withstand the terrifying pressure. He wanted to disappear to ease the suffocating feeling in his heart.
Not too far away, the young man called Raku was still moving, and he seemed to be trying to do something as he charged towards Chen Heng.
However, in response, Chen Heng only raised his head and looked at the other party.
Rumble!
There seemed to be another crisp sound coming from the void. It was as if heavenly thunder had struck, giving off a series of soft sounds.
Then, in a place ordinary people couldn't see, waves of matchless divine might surged, erupting here, completely erupting.
Hedoshiri and Ramu stood there, warily looking ahead.
Under their gazes, a shocking scene unfolded before them.
In front of him, the young Knight's tall body slowly fell and landed on the ground with a soft thud.
Following this, the place fell silent.
Even Gulo, Mary, and Ory were stunned by the scene before them. At this moment, they didn't know what to say.
This wasn't an ordinary person, but a Life Knight who had reached the second ring.
And yet, he had been defeated so easily …
Such a performance made them feel a sense of disbelief, as well as a sense of loss.
Not too far away, Hedoshiri also felt the same.
As an opponent, he knew that young Knight's strength the best.
Just now, he had exchanged many blows with the other party, but he was unable to take him down.
However, to Chen Heng, this sort of person did not even need to do much; just a glance was enough.
It was as easy as killing an ant.
This feeling of ease was truly suffocating, causing a sense of powerlessness to arise from the bottom of one's heart.
But fortunately, Hedoshiri and Ramu adjusted their mental states quickly.
After all, thinking about it, this was quite normal.
After all, it seemed that their current strength had been bestowed upon them by Chen Heng.
Without Chen Heng's divine power, they would most likely still be the same as before and would not have the strength they had now.
Since Chen Heng could raise them to such a level with a single thought, it would not be strange for him to instantly defeat a 2-Ring Knight.
Thinking to there, they calmed down and once again looked at Chen Heng with respect and fervor.
As a follower, sometimes the most frightening thing was to follow the wrong master.
Such a powerful and honorable ruler was undoubtedly the dream of everyone.
In front of them, a gentle breeze blew past, brushing past everyone's faces. For some people, it was a very warm breeze, but for others, it was bone-piercing.
To the elder in front of him, he felt as if he had already descended into hell and was about to enter his Divine Lord's Divine Kingdom.
As he watched on, Chen Heng slowly turned and looked at him.
Chen Heng looked at him for a moment before silently shaking his head, "That's about it …"
Following this, he waved his hand.
A terrifying pressure came from all directions.
Fear that originated from a spiritual level emerged.
In just an instant, the elder could not hold on anymore and fell to the ground.
His consciousness sank into silence, and it seemed that he had fainted and no longer had the power to stand on his own.
The two enemies, a Rank 2 Knight and a Rank 1 Priest, were knocked down in an instant and fell to the ground.
To Hedoshiri and Hedoshiri, this sort of thing was only natural, but to Guromary and Hedoshiri, it was simply inconceivable.
However, they did not have time to say anything.
This was because Chen Heng's gaze had already turned towards them.
"Long time no see, Your Highness Guromary."
Standing there, Chen Heng silently turned and looked at Guromary as he nodded, "It has been many years since that time.
I am very honored to be able to see you again. "
"You're too humble."
Hearing Chen Heng's words, Guromary deeply breathed in and gave a slight smile as she said, "It is our honor to be able to meet you here.
I'm very happy to have a friend like you help me when I was in danger, and I'm even more glad that you're willing to take me in during this time of crisis.
"There's no need for that."
Chen Heng's expression was calm as he looked at Gulo Mary and calmly said, "Back then, when we first arrived at the Karo Kingdom, it was Your Highness who led people to give us a place to stay. This matter is just repayment for that."
I'm sure that anyone would have done the same. "
"Perhaps."
Hearing Chen Heng's words, Guromary did not say much and only gave a bitter smile.
In the past, she had helped many people in the past.
However, in the end, at this critical moment, there were only a few people who would extend a helping hand to her.
The one who truly had the ability to protect her was Chen Heng, an outsider.
This made her feel quite helpless, and she did not know what to say.
However, no matter what, this was something that could not be helped.
Standing on the spot, she sighed, not knowing what to say at this time.
"I can sense these people's auras. Your Highness, it seems that you've been targeted."
Chen Heng turned around and looked at Guromary. He nodded to her and said, "For your safety, I suggest you set off for my manor as soon as possible."
"Lord Hatim welcomes your arrival."
"I will also be there, waiting for you and Mr. Olimo's arrival."
Chen Heng said softly.
Hearing his words, Guromary and Ori Mo couldn't help but stare blankly.
Waiting for them in Hatim's territory?
These words sounded quite strange.
Aren't you here right now?
Just as they were about to ask, they once again froze.
After speaking, Chen Heng's body gradually became illusory, and his appearance changed.
His body slowly became ethereal, and his appearance slowly changed. He looked like a reflection in the water, gradually changing, and then slowly dissipating.
In the end, his entire body turned into a ray of light and completely disappeared from this place.
Looking at the scene before them, be it Hedoshiri and Ramu in the distance, or Guromary and Ory in front of them, all of them could not help but be stunned. They did not expect such an outcome at all.
"It's actually … just a projection …"
Guromary's expression suddenly changed. She didn't know what to say at this time.
Before, the power that Chen Heng had displayed had already caused them to sigh in amazement.
His strength was so terrifying that even a 2 Circle Knight and 1 Circle Priest were nothing in front of him. They couldn't struggle at all.
With just a gaze, he had instantly taken down those two people.
Guromary had thought that this sort of display was already incredibly terrifying.
However, she now realized that she had been too naive.
The terrifying existence in front of them wasn't Viscount Ekado's real body, but just a clone.
It was just a clone, yet it was able to do such a terrifying thing?
Then his main body …
At this moment, Guromary was completely dumbfounded. She didn't know what to say at this moment.
In the past, she had never thought that there would be such a terrifying existence in the Calo Kingdom.
"Your Highness Guromary …"
In the distance, Hedoshiri and Hedoshiri walked up to her again. They looked at Guromary and bowed slightly to her. Their salutation was very courteous.
Both of them were quite shocked by Chen Heng's actions and could not believe it.
However, compared to Guro and Mary, the two of them were much more accepting of this matter.
At the very least, their current strength was given to them by Chen Heng.
They got up from where they were and had the guards capture the two young Knights and Ramu and place them to the side.
After being suppressed by Chen Heng's power, the two of them seemed to have fainted. Even though their lives were not in danger, it seemed that they would not wake up for a while.
As a precaution, Hedoshiri and Ramu added many layers of defenses on them, as well as many layers of life energy suppression on them in case they suddenly woke up and went berserk.
After all, no matter what, these two were very powerful Transcendents. Once they woke up, it would be very troublesome.
The two of them did not have Chen Heng's strength, so they could not easily suppress these two people.
As such, they had to make some preparations.
"Sorry for the trouble."
Guromary quickly regained her composure.
She looked at Hedoshiri in front of her and seemed to have recovered. A sweet smile appeared on her face as she looked at the two Knights in front of her and said, "This time, it's all thanks to your help that we were able to make it this far."
I would like to express my gratitude in the name of the Karo family. "
She spoke softly before bowing and speaking earnestly.
Using one's surname to express gratitude was a very important etiquette in this world.
This was especially so since Guromary was the Princess of a Kingdom.
However, Hedoshiri and Ramu's expressions were quite calm and did not show any gratitude. It was as if the person in front of them was not the Princess of the Karo Kingdom but just an ordinary woman.
Their behavior caused Guromary to stare blankly for a moment. For a moment, there was a slight contrast.
However, she quickly adjusted herself, and the smile on her face did not change. She looked very kind and warm, with a kind of charm that made people feel close to her.
"The danger has passed."
In front of her, Hedoshiri said softly as he looked at her, "Now, please sit in the carriage.
We will send you to Sir Eckart, "Hedoshiri said calmly.
Following this, he and Ramu turned and left this place.
It seemed that they had gone to do some work.
Standing there and looking at them, Guromary's expression became complicated and she could not help but sigh.
"Your Highness …"
By the side, Olimo's expression was quite unsightly, "Those two people … are a bit too rude …"
"That's right …"
Guromary nodded before sighing as she said, "It's just that they have the right to be rude.
"What we've been through recently has made me realize the reality …"
To Guromary, this period of time had been when she had fallen from the top.
Ever since that assassination attempt, her situation in the Karo Kingdom had become more and more difficult.
Those allies and loyal Knights had all become unreliable in times of danger and avoided her like snakes and scorpions.
It was a vivid illustration of everything, and told her of her present situation.
Moreover, even without that, with Hedoshiri and Ramu's status and strength, they had the right to be rude to them.
After all, behind them stood the unfathomable Viscount Eckart.
Thinking back to the terrifying power that Chen Heng had just displayed, Guromary could not help but tremble, not knowing what to say.
"With his power, let alone me, I'm afraid he doesn't even care about my father anymore …"
Standing on the spot, Guromary's mind flashed with this thought.
By now, she had realized that the situation was different.
By now, the young man who had just entered Karo Kingdom and had yet to gain a foothold in the Karo Kingdom had grown into a colossus. Not only was he the overlord of a vast territory, but his strength was also incomparably powerful and frightening.
And now, she, the Princess from back then, had fallen from the clouds and become someone who was being hunted down.
The disparity between their statuses was simply too great.
Thinking to there, she inwardly sighed and did her best to adjust her mental state.
They continued walking forward and entered the carriage.
As for Olimo, he rode on a horse and followed the group in front of him slowly.
They did not move too quickly because they had carriages, so they could not travel at full speed.
However, at this point, there was no need to be too anxious.
This was because they were close to Chen Heng's territory and were about to reach their destination.
In the distance.
Within a quiet courtyard, Chen Heng silently opened his eyes and looked into the distance.
"So they're here …"
He thought back to the scene from before and muttered to himself.
Before, when he had sent his divine power into Hedoshiri and Ramu, he had left a bit of his will in their bodies.
This was his own mark, and it contained Chen Heng's own mark.
Of course, this mark was not much, nor was it very large.
However, at a crucial moment, this mark could draw out the remaining divine power in Hedoshiri and Ramu's bodies, allowing Chen Heng to show himself and unleash a portion of his power.
Just then, Chen Heng had acted like this from afar and captured those two people.
After the remaining will in Hedoshiri and Ramu's bodies dissipated, Chen Heng's projection also used up all of its power.
However, Chen Heng had clearly seen what had just happened and had seen it all.
"A 2-Ring Knight and an unknown Priest …"
Standing there, Chen Heng frowned and muttered to himself, "Which god's Priest is it?"
Priests were a unique profession that existed alongside gods, and all of their power came from gods.
Therefore, the existence of a priest must be accompanied by a true God.
No matter how weak a god was, they would be far more powerful than Chen Heng.
Chen Heng could not help but be careful.
"How troublesome …"
Standing there, Chen Heng shook his head and felt that this was quite troublesome.
Of course, even though it was troublesome, that was all there was to it.
Chen Heng had long since made mental preparations for coming into contact with existences on the level of gods.
After all, as his strength continuously increased, he would one day come into contact with gods, and he might even face the threat of gods.
Right now, he was far from that time.
At the very least, he had not directly clashed with a god and had only come into contact with a god's Priest.
This was not a big problem.
As this thought flashed through his mind, he turned around and walked into a room at the side, silently waiting for the arrival of Guromary and the others.
These people did not make him wait too long.
In just three days, Guromary and Orimo arrived at this place under the escort of Hedoxili and Orimo.
They walked into the manor that Chen Heng had set up and formally met with him.
