Chapter 371: Escaping Princess
"That's right." Sitting on his seat and meeting their gazes, Chen Heng smiled and said, "MY Divine Bloodline has completely awakened, and this is my true appearance. What you saw before was just a cover-up."
"Congratulations, my lord!"
Hearing this, Herdosiri and Lamu looked wild with delight.
An awakened Divine Bloodline was not as simple as it sounded.
It could be said that someone who had truly awakened their Divine Bloodline could be said to be a child of a god.
If the Fire God's church still existed, Chen Heng would immediately be lifted to the Holy Son.
In the Kalo Kingdom, even a Prince's status would not compare to Chen Heng, and would not be fit to even put on his shoes for him.
The prestige from awakening a Divine Bloodline was unimaginable.
After all, in a world with gods, gods reigned supreme.
Thinking to there, Herdosiri and Lamu could barely contain their excitement.
For Chen Heng to have such performance, this meant that they had not chosen the wrong person, and their futures would be unlimited.
Even if Chen Heng wanted to establish a powerful kingdom, it would not be impossible.
"I will give this to you." Chen Heng's voice once again sounded out.
Following this, two rays of golden light shot out from within Chen Heng's body and into Herdosiri and Lamu's bodies.
The instant the light fused into their bodies, their bodies started to go through changes. All wounds healed and their bodies began to transform.
Both of them could clearly sense the changes.
A light sound rang out in the room as the two of them seemed to break through some kind of barrier.
Under the influence of this energy, their life essence began to go through changes.
"This is… Second Ring…"
Standing there, Herdosiri muttered to himself in disbelief, "So easily…"
He could feel that the chains that had shackeld him were now gone.
As that golden light had entered his body, his body had gone through great changes, and he had reached a completely new level.
Herdosiri had directly gone from being a First Ring Knight to a Second Ring Knight.
Of course, this did not mean that his battle power had instantly increased as well, but it would quickly catch up.
With Herdosiri's talent, he would be able to quickly grasp the corresponding battle power.
As for Lamu, he had also broken through a barrier.
He had originally been an Apprentice-level Knight, but with the help fromt his energy, he had become a true Life Knight, a First Ring Knight.
"How do you feel?" Sitting there and waiting for a while, Chen Heng asked with a faint smile.
"I feel incredibly good…" Only then did they come back to their senses and asked, "MY lord… just what is this?"
"The energy of the Divine Bloodline." Chen Heng's expression did not change as he explained, after awakening the Divine Bloodline, I gained this energy that can raise others' strength and draw out their potential."
This was not actually the Divine Bloodline's energy, but divine energy.
Just then, he had fused his divine energy into their bodies, resulting in these effects.
Herdosiri and Lamu were the first people to follow him in this world, and had done much work for him.
As such, he had consumed some divine energy to help them become stronger.
Moreover, Chen Heng did not lack divine energy right now.
As he saved the Mutated Creature World and the Cursed World's coordinates, he would receive massive amounts of faith energy every moment.
Just then, the amount of divine energy he had spent on Herdosiri and Lamu was just equivalent to how much he gained in one day.
Of course, Chen Heng could make them stronger if he wanted to, but there was no need for this.
After all, raising one's life essence too quickly would result in great waste.
If one did not raise their battle power to match it, then there would not be much changes.
"Familiarise yourselves with your power as quickly as possible…" Chen Heng said to them with a smile, "When you have become familiar with it, you will have another opportunity in the future."
Hearing this, Herdosiri and Lamu immediately bowed and looked delighted.
"We will definitely do our best."
Looking at them like this, Chen Heng only chuckled before turning his attention to other things.
Herdosiri and Lamu needed to train diligently and become used to their power, and this was the case for Chen Heng as well.
Compared to Herdosiri and Lamu, his growth was even more monstrous.
Before, he could still use his knowledge to understand the level he was at.
However, as time passed, he began to become unfamiliar with the level he was at.
He just knew that he had surpassed this world's Fourth Ring, and reached a higher level.
Moreover, his body was changing every moment and becoming even stronger.
"Looks like I need to find an opportunity to obtain this world's high-level legacies…" Chen Heng thought to himself.
Not knowing his status was quite dangerous to Chen Heng.
If he wanted to avoid this, he would have to obtain high-level legacies.
Over the years, through those Sorcerers, Chen Heng had obtained some legacies about this world.
However, those legacies were of a low level, and Third Ring was their limit.
Following this, Chen Heng got up and walked out.
Elsewhere in the distance, some guards escorted a carriage forwards along a difficult path.
"How long until we reach Viscount Hatim's territory?" A pleasant voice sounded out from within the carriage.
Looking in, one would be able to see a woman sitting within he carriage.
She was quite beautiful and had exquisite looks, and wore black robes.
It was the Kalo Kingdom's Princesss, Mary.
"There is still quite a distance." A middle-aged man riding a horse replied, "It will be another 10 or so days until we can are, our fastest speed…"
He sighed as he said, "The roads here are quite difficult to traverse, and this is already our limit.
"If it wasn't for the fact that Viscount Hatim had opened up new roads here and cleared out Beastmen, it would have taken even longer."
"About half a month?" Within the carriage, Mary lightly nodded, "I wonder if we will be able to last until then."
"Please don't be so pessimistic." The middle-aged man sighed and said, "Please believe in me. If anything happens, I will use my life to protect you."
"Mm, I believe you." Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Mary laughed and said, "This time, I've truly burdened you, Sir Orimo."
This middle-aged man was the Kalo Kingdom's Court Knight, Orimo.
"I heard that in recent years, Viscount Hatim has suppressed the invasion of the Beastmen in the north, causing there to be far less Beastmen in this region," Orimo said, changing the topic.
"Indeed." Hearing Orimo's words, Mary nodded, "To be able to do this, he is quite amazing. As expected of someone who awakened a Divine Bloodline.
"Now, the only one in this kingdom who can protect me is him."
"With Viscount Hatim's strength, he should be able to block those evildoers," Orimo nodded.
"I just wonder if this Visocunt Hatim will be willing to take me in," Mary said as she sighed.
As an intelligent person, she understood the situation she was in.
She was a Princess of the Kalo Kingdom, as well as the most outstanding child of the King.
However, under the current danger, this identity was not enough to protect her.
Moreover, anyone who protected her would face great trouble.
In the past, it was not that no one had tried to protect Mary.
A Marquis who had viewed Mary as his adopted daughter had tired to protect her, but he was soon assassinated.
As a Marquis, he naturally had guards. Even though there were not any Second Ring figures, there was a true Knight and two Apprentices/
This kind of strength was already quite respectable in the Kalo Kingdom.
However, even so, they could not protect him.
This made others feel quite wary and terrified.
After this, no one was willing to take her in.
As such, she was forced to head north to seek out that Viscount Hatim.
After all, in the Kalo Kingdom, he was the strongest existence.
Many years ago, he had already been a Second Ring Warlock.
After so long, his strength would have increased even more.
However, Mary was not sure what he would decide.
Her relationship with him was decent, but it was not good to the point that he would take a risk for her.
That was why Mary felt so unsure and apprehensive.
However, now, she had no other choice.
Mary was an intelligent person, and that was why she had been able to survive until now.
Apart from a few places, she had never exposed her location, which was why she had avoided many dangers.
However, by now, she was reaching her limit.
One day, she would not be able to hide anymore, and would be caught.
As such, she was forced to go to the north to seek out Viscount Hatim.
If Viscount Hatim was willing to protect her, she could buy some space to breathe, and even leave Kalo.
However, many people knew what she was thinking, making it so that this journey of hers was not very safe.
Many people appeared searching for her, wanting to take her back.
As such, her entourage used the smaller roads, trying to avoid any pursuers.
"Father, are you really still alive…" Mary deeply berathed in as she looked out and thought to herself.
From many months ago, she had felt that there was something wrong with Karim.
Compared to before, he had greatly changed. His face had become incredibly pale and his personality had greatly changed, becoming much more violent and bloodthirsty.
