chapter-210

"Such abundant and magnificent experiences…"

Hearing Chen Heng's descriptions, Charlie was flabbergasted, and he took a while to come back to his senses, "This…"

To ordinary people, Chen Heng's experiences were a bit too fantastical.

He had accidentally entered a secret realm and obtained the hero's legacy; this sounded like a fairy tale.

And yet, this had actually happened, and to his student, no less.

After a while, Charlie came back to his senses and suddenly thought of something as he said, "Ed… you've already become a true Sorcerer?"

As Chen Heng spoke of his experiences, he had also told Charlie about how he had become a true Sorcerer.

The hero's power was too fantastical and was not something that Charlie was familiar with. However, he knew about Sorcerers' power well.

He knew what kind of power and status true Sorcerers had.

Meeting Charlie's expectant gaze, Chen Heng's expression was calm as he lightly nodded.

A formless armor soundlessly appeared around his body, even without any Meditation or using his mental energy.

This was something that only true Sorcerers could do.

Looking at Chen Heng, Charlie felt delighted.

"Very good."

He gave a slight smile and said, "Even though I knew that with your aptitude, you would become a true Sorcerer sooner or later, I never thought that this day would come so quickly."

Looking at Chen Heng, he felt quite amazed.

It had only been a few years since Chen Heng had disappeared, and much had changed. The Hemu region had become like this, and the Second Rank Apprentice Chen Heng had now become a true Sorcerer.

Someone advancing from Second Rank Apprentice to a true Sorcerer in just a few years was incredible.

During this time, most people would not even be close to becoming a Third Rank Apprentice.

Compared to those people, Chen Heng's performance was spectacular.

In the Hemu region, true Sorcerers were top-tier figures.

For Chen Heng to reach this stage at such a young age, he was undoubtedly one of the most talented geniuses.

Moreover, to be viewed as the strongest power in the world, this so-called hero's power was not to be underestimated either, and it was most likely stronger than a true Sorcerer's power.

Now that Chen Heng had these two powers, his strength was at the peak of the Hemu region.

Thinking to there, Charlie could not help but feel excited and he asked, "Ed, what is your strength like now?"

"I'm not sure," Chen Heng replied as he shook his head.

..........

Because he did not have anything to compare himself to, Chen Heng did not know just how strong he was.

"However, ordinary true Sorcerers are not a big deal to me," Chen Heng added.

Hearing this, Charlie looked incredibly pleased.

...

There was a strange aura lingering on an overgrown, ancient path.

"How familiar…"

Looking around, Chen Heng could not help but softly speak.

Beside him, Charlie looked quite anxious as he looked about.

"Be careful, Ed," Charlie looked quite worried as he said, "After that battle, this place has become Mordo's territory. The other Sorcerers were all corrupted by him and turned into his subordinates."

"I understand," Chen Heng nodded.

After meeting with Charlie, Chen Heng had heard much about what had happened in the past.

Back then, the Heart-Devouring Devil, called Mordo, had attacked the Hunter's House. However, it had not been alone, and it instead had been accompanied by a large number of Sorcerers. That was how it had taken down the Hunter's House.

In terms of strength, the Heart-Devouring Devil was indeed quite powerful, but it was not invincible.

Otherwise, the Hunter's House would not have tried to resist.

Of course, ordinary true Sorcerers were not a match for it at all, and if they were corrupted by its aura, their minds would be twisted.

That was why Ariel and the others had fallen under its control.

"Looks like they have already discovered us…"

After walking a few steps, Chen Heng's body froze and he raised his head and looked forwards.

Ahead, formless ripples were spreading out and light flashed.

This was the original location of the Hunter's House, and there were many Sorcerer Formations within.

After taking over this area, Mordo had made this place even stronger and strengthened the Sorcerer Formations.

As such, Chen Heng and Charlie had been quickly discovered.

"So it's you," a familiar aura appeared, and a red-robed figure appeared ahead.

It was a woman with decent looks, and she was someone Chen Heng was familiar with. However, her face was incredibly cold, and she gave off an air of hostility.

"Miss Ariel," Chen Heng lightly said.

"Long time no see, Ed."

Looking at Chen Heng, Ariel's expression was cold as she said, "Have the two of you come to join us? As long as you are willing to take Lord Mordo's power, I'm sure he will not mind your previous actions and will give you a new start…"

"You make it sound good," Charlie said as he coldly laughed, "But I'm not interested in losing my sense of self and becoming someone else's puppet. Ariel, have a sense of your chaotic mental ripples; just what have you become?"

Hearing Charlie's words, Ariel's expression was calm as she said coldly, "Looks like you're not here to submit to Lord Mordo. Since that's the case…"

As she spoke, ripples spread out and many figures appeared behind Ariel.

These were all true Sorcerers of the Hunter's House. There were four of them in total, and all of them had been corrupted.

Looking at these people, Charlie gripped his fists tightly and looked at Chen Heng, feeling quite nervous.

No matter how he put it, these were four true Sorcerers.

Moreover, compared to him, who was someone who focused on creating magic items rather than battle power, they were much stronger.

In actuality, it was because they were quite strong that they were the vanguard against Mordo back then, which was why they had become controlled.

Because Charlie's battle power was quite lacking, he had not fought in the initial battle, which was why he had an opportunity to escape.

If they ended up fighting, he would not be able to take on even a single one of them.

Thinking to there, he looked over at Chen Heng.

Sensing his gaze, Chen Heng lightly sighed.

"Miss Ariel, teachers, apologies," he spoke softly.

Ariel and the others' expressions were cold as their bodies slightly moved, preparing to rush out.

However, in the next moment, their expressions changed greatly.

Massive power rushed out, and the elemental particles in the surroundings were fixed in place by that power. No matter how they used their mental energy, they could not control even a single elemental particle.

As they watched on, Chen Heng calmly waved his hand.

Bang!

A light sound rang out.

Even though Chen Heng had only waved his hand, he was like an omnipotent god who could easily change the world with a single wave.

The heavens and earth seemed to flip and all power seemed to disappear.

In front of that terrifying power, their own strength seemed incredibly insignificant, like flickering candles.

Their bodies flew backwards with a bang, and they were unable to move at all.

Following this, massive amounts of faith energy appeared, manifesting as pure white light that rushed towards their bodies.

"Arghhh!" Ariel and the others howled.

"Their mental ripples are returning to normal!" Charlie began to sense changes from their bodies.

As they were impacted by the faith energy, the corrupting power within Ariel and the others seemed to be purified and disappeared.

Faith energy was an energy that came from the depths of one's soul, and it could affect souls.

The energy that the Heart-Devouring Devil used to control these people came from the soul.

It could be said that the faith energy's effects against the Heart-Devouring Devil's corrupting energy was very effective.

Soon, the pure-white light began to expand even more until it covered the entire Hunter's House.

In that moment, countless howls sounded out as many Sorcerers cried out and their souls were purified.

A strange atmosphere was created.

Even though Charlie was not being targeted by the white light, he could feel a warmth and comfortableness in his soul. This made him feel all kinds of wonderful emotions.

In front of them, the savage looks on Ariel and the others' faces disappeared, and they were replaced with faint smiles.

Without realizing it, tears flowed from all of their eyes.

"Ed…" Ariel's voice sounded out.

However, different to before, even though her voice sounded somewhat weak, she sounded like she had regained her own consciousness.

The other Sorcerers were the same and also regained consciousness.

The corrupting energy from the Heart-Devouring Devil disappeared, and they returned to normal.

"Ariel."

Looking at them, Charlie looked delighted and hurriedly went to support them so that they did not fall over.

"We owe you two great thanks." After hearing Charlie's explanation, Ariel sighed and looked at Chen Heng.

In front of her, Chen Heng was wearing white robes, and he was standing by himself with his eyes closed, as if he was doing Meditation.

A formless feeling came from his body, which made it so that even if he did not do or say anything, others could not help but feel goodwill towards him.

In the past, Chen Heng had been quite friendly and on good terms with everyone, but this feeling was much greater now.

If the Chen Heng of the past had to work hard to make people feel favorably towards him, he now did so without even trying.

This was a result of the Faith Mark and the massive amounts of positive faith energy that he had gained.

Looking at Chen Heng, the Sorcerers present all felt that this was quite strange.

They thought of the power that Chen Heng had used before.

At that time, Chen Heng had just casually waved his hand, and he was able to instantly suppress them. That light then covered the entire Hunter's House and turned it into his domain.

This kind of power made them feel both excited and awed.

Undoubtedly, this was something that surpassed the level of true Sorcerers.

"He has already surpassed the Heart-Devouring Devil," one of the Sorcerers looked at Chen Heng as he said in a quiet voice.

The others nodded.

Everyone present had fought with the Heart-Devouring Devil before.

From their impression, even though the Heart-Devouring Devil was powerful and could suppress them, the four of them together could at least put up a fight against it.

The oppressive power that Chen Heng had demonstrated had greatly surpassed the feeling that the Heart-Devouring Devil had given them.

Thinking to there, they felt some hope.

"There are not many Sorcerers left in the Academy; including us, there are only 30 or so left."

Charlie came back from the insides of the Academy and lightly sighed, "Apart from us true Sorcerers, there are six Third Rank Apprentice and the rest are all low level Apprentices."

Hearing these numbers, all of the Sorcerers sighed.

In recent years, the Hunter's House had taken blow after blow.

During that battle against the Heart-Devouring Devil and the Sorcerers with it, the Hunter's House had lost around half of its forces.

These Sorcerers were the last power of the Hunter's House.

All of them had been corrupted by the Heart-Devouring Devil's power, but because of Chen Heng, they had regained their consciousnesses.

"What do we do now?" Ariel looked at Charlie and the others as she said, "The Principal has died, but the Hunter's House is still here."

"What should we do? Should we go and find that Heart-Devouring Devil for payback?"

One of the Sorcerers asked as he looked at Chen Heng, "With Mister Ed's strength, perhaps he will be able to defeat the Heart-Devouring Devil."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Chen Heng.

They all knew that even though they had been part of the Hunter's House's management team, the only person who could make this decision was Chen Heng, not them.

Putting aside Chen Heng saving their lives, the strength he had displayed made it so that they would not have it any other way.

"We will take revenge for the Principal and our other comrades sooner or later," Ariel said as she looked at Chen Heng, "But right now, we have something even more important to do. The Principal has perished, and our Academy no longer has a leader. I suggest that Ed takes over as the new Principal to lead us. How does that sound?"

She looked around as her red robes fluttered.

"I agree," someone nodded and spoke first.

It was Chen Heng's teacher, Charlie.

The others fell silent for a few moments, before giving their answers.

"I agree."

"I'm for it."

Various voices sounded out, and no one was in opposition.

"Very good."

Looking at everyone present, Ariel nodded, "Then from today onwards, Ed is our Academy's Principal."
