Chapter 62: [no title] (1/2)
Was there going to be a downpour of rain?
But why was it only that way around them?
Other places were still bright like before.
Selective rain? There was something as ridiculous as that?
“First leave this place quickly. In a while, there will be lightning strikes. This lightning is no small matter; it’s not something the human body can resist.” Claire said to them solemnly. “This lightning is only directed towards me. If you leave, there will be no problem.”
“What?!” When they heard Claire’s words, their expressions changed greatly.
There was actually something like that?
“Miss! You even said that it’s something the human body can’t resist, how, how are you going to resist?” Jean became worried, wanting to rush to Claire’s side. But Cliff had already set up a sturdy barrier and even put up a couple of layers. Naturally, people outside weren’t able to reach Claire.
“I, I’ll immediately undo the barriers.” Cliff also became frantic.
“There’s no time, master. If you undo them right now, I will definitely die. If you don’t, I’ll still have a sliver of hope for living. Quickly get out of the way.” Claire immediately shouted at Cliff to stop.
“What’s going on? Claire, what on earth is going on?” Cliff was so frantic, his face was full of sweat, but he didn’t understand.
“I’ll tell you after, don’t bother me now.” Claire immediately sat in the lotus position, clapping her palms lightly before her chest, starting to use the second level of the Treasured Lotus Style.
“Let’s first withdraw.” Ben advised Cliff and Jean, seeing the rumbling dark clouds and the lightning and thunder within the layers.
The two weren’t willing to take even one step away.
Black dragon Ben instantly transformed back, grabbed one of them in each claw, then immediately retreated.
The rumbling sound of thunder resonated into the horizon. A lightning writhing about amidst the dark clouds, making one’s heart alarmed and one tremble with fear, completely charged with berserk and dreadful power.
One, just one lightning bolt!
Claire clenched her teeth. She should be able to withstand it.
A shocking, dreadful, snow white lightning bolt streaked across the night sky, directly striking at Claire.
“Claire!”
“Miss!”
Cliff and Jean both frantically cried out.
It wasn’t some small lightning from a magician, it was a natural lightning bolt from the sky!
Brimming with berserk and unsteady power.
The bolt of lightning lit the surroundings white.
As he watched the situation, Ben froze. His claws loosened, dropping Jean and Cliff.
They saw very clearly that all of Cliff’s barriers were struck broken by the lightning bold, but didn’t see it wound Claire.
Because they couldn’t see Claire!
Claire was wrapped up tightly by a gigantic golden lotus. The giant golden lotus shined brightly, dazzling more so within the night, more beautiful than anything that could be imagined. It deeply shocked their souls, making one unable to move their gaze away.
The lightning bolt broke Cliff’s barriers and attacked the golden petals, but was like a stone that had been thrown into the sea and sunk to the bottom: without any reaction.
The next moment, the dark clouds dissipated. The night sky was once again glittering with stars, as if the dark clouds and lightning just then was their hallucination.
The two humans and dragon just blankly stared at Claire, deeply engrossed by the golden lotus wrapped around Claire. Slowly, the golden golden lotus gradually opened its petals, showing Claire, who had was sitting inside. Everybody would remember this sight for a long time. The current Claire was so at peace and beautiful, attracting one’s soul.
Claire gradually opened her eyes and slowly got up. Looking down and seeing the giant lotus beneath her feet, she inwardly cursed at the creator of the Treasured Lotus Style cultivation method. How sneaky. The golden lotus seemed to be specialized for the tribulation lightning. In other words, every time she comprehended, there would be tribulation lightning and the golden lotus would protect?
“Claire!” Cliff and Jean hurriedly rushed over, both looking very worried.
Just at this moment, the golden lotus suddenly shined millions of rays of light, completely submerging Claire. Slowly, the light dimmed down.
Everybody was in shock as they watched Claire close her eyes, hair blowing, her sleeves also flying fast. Her refined look stunned one’s heart. An indescribable feeling of freedom emitted out of every fiber of her being. It was as if something from deep within her body was slowly sprouting, then blossoming.
Then the bright golden lotus slowly disappeared. The surroundings darkened.
“Claire!” Everyone hurried over.
Claire sighed quietly. How was she going to explain to them?
“Claire, you, you advanced?” Cliff watched Claire and suddenly shouted, pleasantly surprised. “You’re actually now at the level of a wizard, before, you were only a grand magician.”
What? Wizard?!

The capital’s temple of Light.
In front of the inscription of the goddess of Light, there was the green haired woman, the temple of Light’s best prophet. She was currently kneeling, eyes closed, in front of the divine inscription.
A moment later, she slowly got up and opened her strange pair of eyes.
