Chapter 140 (2/2)

Claire’s expression changed. On record, there was only one person who had successfully broken through to become a sorcerer, but that individual had long since vanished, detached from worldly affairs. Claire did not know if Cliff would die if the breakthrough failed, but Cliff would at least be heavily injured!

But what could she do? At such a critical conjuncture, Claire did not dare to make any rash moves. Sometimes, meddling was worse than not intervening at all.

“Young master…” Claire turned to face the young master, visible pleading in her eyes.

The young master did not say anything. With a light flick of her finger, a soft beam of white light shot into Cliff’s body.

Instantly, Cliff’s body exploded with colorful light and his furrowed eyebrows relaxed. The glow surrounding him gradually glowed brighter and brighter, enveloping him completely.

“Young master, thank…” Claire started when she was cut off by the young master.

“Don’t thank me. I’m waiting for you to provide me with good entertainment. Don’t disappoint me.” The young master waved offhandedly. “Wait here. I need to return to prepare for the next Divine War.”

Divine War? Claire was confused.

“Pretty girl, I hope to see you at the next Divine War, haha,” the young master laughed. “I wonder who you’ll be then.” Claire was perplexed at the young master’s baffling words.

Soon, the glow around Cliff disappeared. Claire was shocked to discover Cliff’s numerous wounds had healed, and he seemed energetic. Cliff’s every move gave off a different aura from before, a strong aura.

Claire finally relaxed. “Master!” she called out joyously.

“Pretty girl, I hope we meet again, haha. Go, kill the ones who want to kill you.” The young master’s voice sounded at Claire’s ear. Just when Claire was about to turn and look at the young master, her vision blackened. When she opened her eyes again, Claire discovered she had returned to where she had first entered Devil Field outside the barrier.

“Claire!”

“Miss!”

Both voices were filled with shock.

“Master, you’ve made a breakthrough. I’m glad you are fine. Congratulations, Master, for your breakthrough.” Claire understood instantly that the young master had sent them out. Her last words were ingrained deeply in her mind. Kill those who want to kill you. Claire’s gaze sharpened, turning icy.

“What happened?” Cliff frowned, completely puzzled. “I remember I was just about to break through, about to fail, when strangely, some kind of outside force helped me succeed. The next thing I know, I hear your voice and now I’m here.” Cliff was utterly baffled. While he was on the verge of his breakthrough, he had sensed two people in the surrounding area. One was Claire. Who was the other one?

“Miss, who was that person? Are you alright?” Jean’s eyes were filled with confusion and concern.

“She* is a devil,” Claire explained to Cliff and Jean calmly. “She was the one who helped Master break through and sent us out.”

*In written form, the chinese character for he and she are differently, but they sound the same when spoken.

“What?!” Jean was astonished. How could a devil help a human? Devils were a terrifying existence, powerful, ruthless, cold blooded, savage. Rumors said there were creatures from the devil world in Devil Field, but he never expected it to be true. Jean then remembered the youth had blood red eyes.

“Claire, are you saying the devil helped me break through?” Although this was a question, Cliff’s tone was certain. Only he understood how dangerous the situation was and that Claire could not have helped him. The person accompanying Claire was a devil? It seemed it truly was a devil.

“Yes.” Claire nodded.

“Why did he help me? And he even sent us out.” Cliff was stunned. A devil who helped humans?! It almost sounded like a joke. Cliff stroked his chin, glancing around suspiciously. Not only did the devil help him break through, he also sent them out safely. It was too strange!

“She just suddenly felt like it,” Claire explained, sighing.

Jean and Cliff were shocked, but seeing Claire’s solemn expression, they understood that Claire was definitely telling the truth. Most likely, the devil did it because he was bored!

“I never expected there to be an actual devil in Devil Field.” Cliff still hadn’t recovered from his shock. Everything that had just happened was simply too strange.

“Oh right, Cliff, Jean, here.” Two rings materialized from Claire’s storage ring. “Drip your blood on it to form a blood contract.”

“This is?” Cliff initially had his suspicions, but after seeing Claire’s eyes, his suspicions were confirmed.
