When I approached Dian from behind Gelda could see me behind him but she couldn’t tell who I am changed to. She only warned Dian. He immediately threw a punch at me that I grabbed. Then he was able to get a closer look and scared he took a few steps back.

[ Gelda ]

“Mister Gezznir?!”

[ Dian ]

“I apologize! I didn’t mean to attack you!”

[ Eric ]

“No problem.” I said as I changed back to my form. “I got you really good. Haha!”

[ Gelda ]

“But how did you…”

[ Eric ]

“I got a new power from Loki. Cool right?”

[ Dian ]

“Wow. So you can change your appearance?

[ Gelda ]

“Wait… Power from Loki? You would need a lot of mana to pull it out… Unless you’re blessed.”

[ Eric ]

“That’s right. I’m blessed by Loki.”

[ Gelda ]

“Blessed one is training me…”

[ Eric ]

“By the way. What do you mean by mana?”

[ Gelda ]

“Gezznir explained it to me. Mana is your inner strength that is used for casting spells. The greater the spell the more mana you need but Gezznir said that blessed people don’t have mana and they are not limited in casting spells.”

[ Eric ]

“Wow… Did you hear that Dian? We’re great.”

[ Gelda ]

“You are also blessed?”

[ Dian ]

“You haven't seen my tattoo?” He said as he showed the tattoo and Gelda looked at it with pure excitement in her eyes.

[ Eric ]

“By the way. You don’t have to look for Tae anymore. I had a talk with one of the lords and he said that my friend is fighting in the arena as a Lokth’s champion.”

[ Gelda ]

“Lokth’s champion? You mean the Great Lord Lokth?”

[ Eric ]

“So he is one of the three great lords? Nothing is going to be easy…”

[ Gelda ]

“And his name… Sounds familiar. Tee… Ta…”

[ Eric ]

“It’s Tae.”

[ Gelda ]

“He is your friend?! He is one of the best fighters in the arena. Thirty-four fights without a single loss. He is like the third-strongest fighter?”

[ Eric ]

“Third?! This weakling is the third strongest?”

[ Gelda ]

“Weakling?! That makes you stronger? You fought good but it took you some time.”

[ Eric ]

“I was holding back to not kill that guy. I don’t want any unnecessary killing.”

[ Dian ]

“If he is the third then who’s top two?”

[ Gelda ]

“The second palace is Faust’s champion. The only shaman who is so high in the ranking with strong offensive spells. The first is Gregor’s champion. There are rumors that Gregor trained him himself. But I’m not sure if that’s true, after all, three great lords are merchants.”

[ Eric ]

“If you’re talking about Gregor that is probably true. I experienced his strength firsthand.”

[ Gelda ]

“You were fighting against great lord?!”

[ Eric ]

“He was the one who attacked me. I just wanted to talk… Anyway. I’m going to sleep. We’ll continue training after breakfast.”
