Asuna watched the terrifying scene, and deep fear rose in her heart.

What kind of bloodline power could display such a scene?

Herag stood on the tree, looking at the four people in front of him, feeling a bit strange.

He hadn't even done anything yet, so why was this adventurer so afraid of him?

David and Reese went to the other side, where there were also a few adventurers.

He came over here alone to deal with these adventurers.

Kane was already guarding the entrance to the mountain, so no adventurer could escape from there.

There were also wizards from Base 27 in other directions, controlling every path.

So Herag wasn't in a hurry; these adventurers were like fish in a barrel, doomed to die.

"Run!" Asuna turned her head and shouted to Shadi and the others.

"Run quickly! This person is a monster!"

Asuna saw that Shadi and the others hadn't moved, so she continued to shout.

Herag touched his nose: "Miss, it's not very polite to call someone a monster to their face."

Asuna mustered the courage to stand in front, saying to the three behind her, "Go quickly!"

Shadi understood now; this black-haired man seemed very strong, which was why Asuna acted this way.

Under such circumstances, she couldn't leave either.

Shadi went to Asuna's side: "How could we let you stay here alone."

The warrior and the holy mage also approached proactively, guarding Asuna.

All these years, they had relied on unity to come this far.

Asuna was very moved but felt powerless, a bit of despair in her eyes: "You should go, the bloodline power of this person before us is akin to that of gods, beyond our capability to fight. You leave, and I'll try to delay him, even for just a second."

At these words, the others looked at Herag.

Akin to gods? What kind of evaluation was this?

At this moment, Shadi was instead very calm, holding Asuna's hand and saying, "Since that's the case, why should we run? When we became adventurers, we anticipated a day like this. Dying together with Asuna isn't necessarily a bad thing."

"Bloodline power? You can see the bloodline power within me?" Herag was somewhat surprised; the woman before him could actually see that the bloodline power within him was godlike.

The bloodline power of the Thunder God Ancestor was naturally the highest-level bloodline power.

Herag understood that the Ancestor represented the ultimate level of all power and the origin of everything.

Information about the Ancestor was very scarce, and all relevant materials that Herag had found were merely a few notes.

Comparing gods to the Ancestor wasn't even adequate; strictly speaking, gods were below the level of the Ancestor.

But Asuna didn't know; in her understanding, the highest level of power was that of gods.

Asuna took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

She must not panic!

She must not panic!

She must do her best to preserve Shadi and the others' lives!

Asuna had now regained her composure, knowing she couldn't give up.

If even she had despaired and given up, then Shadi and the others would surely die.

Asuna started to quickly think of solutions. Fighting was definitely not an option; she had to think of another way.

"Bloodline power..."

Asuna noticed that Herag seemed surprised that she could perceive his bloodline power; perhaps this could be a breakthrough point.

Asuna calmly said, "Sir, would you allow my friends to leave? I can stay behind, and I'll answer whatever you ask."

"Do you have the leverage to bargain with me?" Herag asked with a smile.

The current situation was not for Asuna to decide. Herag could decide their life or death at a thought, and she had no qualifications to negotiate.

Asuna almost stopped breathing; she knew she had no leverage to negotiate with Herag, forced to speak up.

"But I don't care; you stay, and they can leave," Herag said.

The area was already surrounded, and these people were doomed to die.

Besides this caster, the others held no value to him.

The other three were destined to die; the difference was whether by his hand or another's.

Herag was more interested now in why this caster could see his own bloodline.

After making the Great Dark Heaven his talent spell, Herag could also sense the strength of the bloodline.

But it was only a very vague feeling.

Judging by the caster's expression, it seemed that her perception was very clear and evident.

So he decided to keep this caster for more in-depth communication.

As for the others, they didn't matter nor concern him.

Asuna, hearing that Herag would let her companions go, immediately said, "Shadi, go quickly!"

"But..." Shadi and the others were still reluctant to leave.

Herag was most annoyed by such time-wasters, so he said, "Disappear from my sight within three seconds, or die."

"Go!" Asuna gave a forceful push.

Tears welled in Shadi's eyes, and after thinking about it, she left with the other two.

Herag glanced at the direction they were fleeing, heading towards the mountain entrance where Kane awaited them.

"Alright, now tell me, how did you see the bloodline power within me?" Herag asked.

Asuna took a deep breath and did not answer immediately.

Herag could tell she was stalling for time, hoping Shadi and the others could get further away.

"Rest assured, I'm not interested in hunting them down," Herag said.

Knowing her little plan had been seen through, Asuna had no choice but to say, "Since I was a child, I've had a certain ability to sense the strength and amount of magical energy, fighting qi, and other energies within others, and I can also see the strength of others' bloodline power."

"Then what did you see in my bloodline power?" Herag asked.

Asuna described the vision she saw completely and in detail, without omitting any detail.

"So that's how it is. It seems she saw the bloodline power of the Thunder God Ancestor. What a miraculous talent, to even discern the Ancestor's bloodline."

Herag pondered; the ability of the caster before him should also be a type of bloodline power.

To see through the Thunder God Ancestral Bloodline, she must certainly not be simple and might hold more hidden powers.

Herag thought about it and decided not to kill the caster before him for the time being, as keeping her might serve many purposes.

He took out a master-servant contract and handed it to Asuna: "This is a master-servant contract; drip your blood onto it."

Looking at the master-servant contract, Asuna was filled with countless thoughts.

Although Herag said nothing, Asuna knew that not signing meant death.

She now had no choice, so she bit her finger and let the blood drip onto the master-servant contract.
