The left chest was pierced, and one could even see through to the back. Surprisingly, Lainekel's heart was gone, yet he hadn't died. This scene shocked everyone profoundly.
Lainekel was also stunned, slowly getting up from the ground. He looked down at the gaping hole in his left chest, his eyes filled with bewilderment.
Then, as if he remembered something, he mumbled, "I recall now. Balzarna implanted a demon's heart in this body to enhance its strength."
He pointed to the right side of his chest, where there were traces of flesh sewn back together.
While the human heart had been destroyed, the demon's heart was still functioning, explaining the brief loss of life earlier.
Upon hearing this explanation, Ji Chen's expression eased a bit. "But it seems you have regained your senses now?"
