"It really is you!" Herdosiri looked incredibly startled.
Before, he had thought that he had been mistaken and took someone else to be Chen Heng.
However, it seemed that he had not been wrong.
He was indeed Aktor, who he had been travelling with.
However, he had changed so much.
All this time, Chen Heng had been very unremarkable, and he did not speak much either. There was nothing too special about him.
Even though Herdosiri had never looked down on him, it had to be said that Aktor really did seem very plain and ordinary.
However, now…
Ahead, the flames were still burning and began to spread out.
Chen Heng stood within the flames by himself, being bathed in them and looking like he was a god birthed from flames. He seemed incredibly holy and majestic.
He was completely different to that taciturn young man from before.
Even though their appearances were the same, their airs were completely different.
Looking at that person, Herdosiri had thought that Chen Heng had already been killed and that this person was just a monster using his corpse.
However, after observing Chen Heng, Herdosiri eliminated this possibility.
"How is the situation?" Chen Heng's voice sounded out.
After picking up the black crystal, Chen Heng looked at Herdosiri and Lamu.
"I'm fine, but in order to help me, Lamu can no longer stand," Herdosiri said with a bitter smile.
As he spoke, Chen Heng looked at Lamu in his arms.
Lamu was unconscious, and he seemed to have been affected by a mysterious power and had fallen into a deep sleep.
"I never thought that you would be a Sorcerer," Herdosiri once again said, "For you to be able to use such mighty skills, you should be at least at the Second Ring. What is someone like you doing in our group?"
"Would you believe me if I said there is not any reason?" Chen Heng did not answer Herdosiri's question and instead asked him a question back.
"I would," Herdosiri said as he bitterly laughed.
It seemed that Aktor's strength was significantly stronger than his.
Since Aktor did not want to reveal his purpose, what could he do about it?
The only thing that comforted him right now was that Chen Heng did not seem to hold any ill-will towards them.
Of course, this might be a misconception.
Regardless, that was the only answer that Herdosiri could give; otherwise, he was afraid of what would await him.
Chen Heng nodded before asking, "Second Ring Sorcerer? What does that mean? Is that a measure of strength for Sorcerers?"
Chen Heng did not choose to hide what he did not know and directly asked.
After all, Herdosiri and Lamu's strength were far inferior to his, and if he wanted to control them, it would not be too difficult.
As such, he calmly asked this question, wanting to understand this world's systems.
Even though he had gained his previous identity's memories, his previous identity had not awakened any powers and did not know much.
While this identity had some knowledge about the power of Life Knights, it did not know anything about Sorcerers.
From those memories, Chen Heng only knew that this world's Sorcerers and Life Knights had different types of energy but were both incredibly powerful.
That was all he knew, and it was good that he had run into Herdosiri now.
Meeting Chen Heng's gaze and hearing his question, Herdosiri was quite surprised.
"You don't know?"
He seemed quite surprised that Chen Heng did not know something as basic as this.
He then suddenly thought of something and asked, "Could it be you're a warlock? Did you suddenly receive this power?"
He asked seriously.
Hearing this, Chen Heng stared for a moment, and after thinking about it, he slowly nodded.
Strictly speaking, he had indeed obtained his power all of a sudden.
If it wasn't for Chen Heng coming here, his previous identity would have remained incredibly weak.
He had only become like this after Chen Heng had descended.
As such, Chen Heng nodded.
"So it's like that."
Looking at Chen Heng, Herdosiri became excited, "There were legends of the Hatim family having the bloodline of gods; it seemed that that was true.
"You most likely awakened the divine bloodline in your body, which resulted in you gaining this power."
"Awaken? Divine bloodline?" Chen Heng frowned as he asked.
Herdosiri looked at Chen Heng, his eyes incredibly bright.
"That's right," Herdosiri said as he nodded, "The so-called Warlocks are those who awakened their bloodlines and dug out the great potential within them, becoming stronger and stronger.
"Warlocks necessarily have noble and powerful bloodlines," Herdosiri looked incredibly excited as he spoke seriously.
