276 Journey to the Eye Dynasty (2/2)
The duo felt apprehension when they thought about the power of the person going after them. They had assumed that the one who appeared that day and exterminated their clan was the leader of their enemies, but it appeared he was just a pawn.
Heinz did not blame the duo for their reaction since he was also baffled by that piece of information when he got it. The Cultivator had already made all the preparation needed for the journey, even getting an ambassador token, which allowed him to explore all the territories of the Eye Dynasty.
The Magi World was not the Beta Heavenly World, where Heinz could act without any repercussion or fear of the consequences. The Eye Dynasty was filled with all types of ancient powerhouses, and Heinz could not afford to anger them.
In other times, the token would have been enough to make sure that even Tier One Clans led by Soul Law Domain existences would be cautious about harming him. Unfortunately, the relationship between the empire and dynasty had only grown worse over the years, so although the token was still useful, its deterrence effect was not that impressive.
Initially, Zatiel thought that Heinz would have no problem with taking the siblings to the Holy Trial, but things appeared to be more complicated.
Even though the Heinz was a Rank 5 life form, his battle power was only above average among Law Engraving existences. Of course, this was impressive since the Cultivator was extremely young and had just entered the Flesh Engraving Stage.
Heinz understood the importance of taking Sigrid and Aren to the Holy Trial, so he had no problem with Zatiel requesting the help of Gabriel. The fact he lacked the strength to fulfill this task alone did not dampen his spirit. His battle will was as strong as ever, and his heart burned with the desire for more power.
After explaining everything to the Eye Holders, Heinz focused on Gabriel. The first time he saw the Second Prince, he was too weak to measure his strength. Although he still could not accurately determine the battle strength of Gabriel, Heinz estimated that the power of his True Soul was at the Peak of Rank 5.
What surprised Heinz was that as he focused his consciousness on the Second Prince, what he saw was not a person but an immense white star. The Cultivator was sure that if he did not contain the energy inside him, then the radiation he would generate could kill any Rank 3 life form on a radius of five kilometers.
Gabriel was also focusing on Heinz, and after a moment, he gave the swordsman an approving nod.
”I am impressed with your rapid growth, especially regarding your law comprehension. I guess it is true what they say, Dao Hearts are incredibly difficult to train, but they can grant a talent with the laws not inferior to a Law bloodline.”
After saying that, Gabriel focused on Sigrid and Aren. The power of his consciousness was so high that there was nothing the duo could hide from him.
The siblings felt that Gabriel's eyes were able to see their past and even glimpse their future.
The Second Prince just gave the duo a small smile before focusing once again on Heinz.
”I already discussed this with Zatiel, and I guess he transmitted that to you, but I will say it once again. I will only interfere if an opponent arrives that you cannot possibly defeat.”
Zatiel had already informed Heinz of that, so he nodded to Gabriel to show his understanding. He knew that it would be troublesome for the Second Prince if news about him bullying people were to reach the Scientia Kingdom. The royal family would normally only act inside the Magi World when they needed to deliver punishment in the name of one of their citizens, so it was better if Gabriel did not need to act.
Since everything was ready now, Heinz did not waste time and covered Sigrid and Aren with his consciousness. The trio fused with space, making it impossible for even Rank 4 life forms to detect them before teleporting.
Gabriel saw the trio leave. The next second, his body transformed into a stream of white energy that flashed into the distance.
