In his previous introduction, Herag said he was an exorcist from a remote area, so he didn't know much and was just good at fighting.

So Ed wasn't surprised that Herag didn't know about the Demonized Armor, and explained it to him.

Ed genuinely felt a bit guilty, considering that the main force in subduing the black gorilla was Herag.

Logically, Herag should have been the one to absorb all the Demon Aura, but somehow Ed ended up with half of it.

More importantly, this black gorilla had transformed into Demonized Armor and even automatically acknowledged Ed as its owner.

This made Ed feel even more remorseful, feeling he owed Herag too much.

However, Herag wasn't very concerned about this set of armor, as he already had the Titan Armor, and the Demonized Armor wasn't of much use to him.

He was simply curious, as it was his first time seeing a demon turn into armor after being killed.

Herag felt that Ed was increasingly looking like a Child of the Plane; even if he wasn't, he was definitely favored by the World Will.

He thought to himself, what if he hadn't come?

Normally, Andar would still encounter threats, and then Ed would undoubtedly come to investigate.

When Ed encountered the black gorilla, it would definitely be a tough battle.

But the Black Sword in Ed's hand just happened to restrain the gorilla's Innate Armor, and he would still end up with the Demonized Armor.

Herag's involvement only made the process a bit smoother, but the outcome would have been the same.

Without Herag, Ed might have absorbed all of the Demon Aura and become even stronger.

In the past, Herag wouldn't have considered these things.

But after coming into contact with Rule Power, World Will, and learning of the existence of the Child of the Plane, Herag couldn't help but think about it.

As it stands, Ed is likely to be favored by the World Will, and his future will probably be very prosperous.

Herag glanced at Ed, didn't say much, but smiled, "It's okay, that set of armor isn't very useful to me. Try using the Demonized Armor, let me see."

Ed nodded, and with a thought, a set of black armor appeared on him.

This armor wasn't full-body, only protecting some vital areas and didn't even include a helmet.

But it was already quite good, especially for Ed, as the armor suited him perfectly, like a gift when needed most.

His fighting style was inherently very risky, and having a set of armor like this would greatly increase his safety.

Herag nodded, "Hmm, not bad, it suits you well."

Herag didn't say much to Ed, as it wasn't necessary.

People like Ed, who are favored by the World Will, naturally have their paths laid out by it, so it's best to let things take their course.

If Herag intervened too much, it might interfere with Ed's normal development.

Even though he hadn't taken Ed as a disciple, he considered Ed half a disciple and naturally hoped for his good development.

Herag tapped the armor with his fingers, feeling its defense wasn't as strong as the gorilla's Innate Armor.

He thought the issue lay in Ed's current strength and felt that as Ed grew stronger, the armor's strength would also increase.

Ed suddenly asked, "Where's Uncle Andar?"

Herag glanced at the other side of the hill and said, "He should be over there."

In fact, he had already seen through environmental detection that only Andar's head was left.

After they climbed over the hill, they found Andar's remains, and Ed silently dug a pit to bury him there.

According to the customs of Falling Leaves Town, those who met a tragic fate outside couldn't be brought home for burial and had to be buried on the spot.

All that's needed is to remember the location and come back to pay respects later.

After Ed buried Andar, Herag said, "The matter's resolved; it's time for me to leave. You should head back."

"Teacher…" Ed knew he couldn't persuade him to stay.

Herag smiled, "Keep it up. Next time I see you, you should be much stronger."

Ed nodded, feeling an even stronger desire to become powerful.

He felt that if he were strong enough, situations like Andar's wouldn't happen again, and the town would be more peaceful.

Herag headed towards Greenfield City along the main road, aware that Ed was watching him leave.

It wasn't until he climbed over another hill that Ed finally turned back.

Herag didn't persuade Ed to leave Falling Leaves Town, as it was unnecessary.

A person like that would eventually step out on his own; there was no need for additional interference.

Herag walked along the road, contemplating the recent events in his mind.

The black gorilla wasn't the focus, nor was the Demonized Armor.

Herag was concerned about the charred wound on the gorilla, which bore traces of being scorched by something like the Fireball Technique.

If it were just the wound, there wouldn't be much to infer, as exorcists in this world also have abilities similar to the Fireball Technique.

Herag was concerned because he sensed residual Magic Power from the wound.

Given his limited understanding of this world, Herag couldn't be certain whether this world had such energy as Magic Power.

If it didn't, then the gorilla was most likely harmed by a wizard's magic.

After being injured, the gorilla fled from somewhere else to here, controlling a wolf pack to do its bidding, leading to the attack on Andar.

Andar had walked this main road for many years and had never encountered the gorilla or the wolf pack until now.

Herag glanced at the map drawn by Shenlan in his mind, noting the gorilla's location wasn't far from the Gobi Desert.

From this, it seemed highly likely the gorilla had encountered wizards involved in the Cradle Operation.

As for which wizard it was, or how many there were, Herag didn't know.

To Herag, the wizards participating in the Cradle Operation couldn't be considered allies.

Most people knew he had successfully seized control of world X-617, and the World Staff was in his hands.

Even though he was in this unknown plane now, it didn't mean there wouldn't be a chance to go back someday.

For those wizards, given a chance, they would undoubtedly try to seize the World Staff from him.

This was a huge temptation; capturing the World Staff and returning to the Wizard Plane would be a great achievement.

Realizing all this, Herag understood that his enemies were far more numerous than just a few like Medel, as other wizards were potential threats.

After nightfall, Herag found a secluded corner and took out the Level 3 Witchcraft Artifact, Fallen Wings.

Holding the Fallen Wings, he slid it across a nearby large tree, creating a crack.

With a thought, Herag entered it.

The internal space of Fallen Wings was similar to a luxury suite on an airship, quite spacious for one person, and very luxuriously furnished, with all the facilities one could need.
