Chapter 62 - Teresa Faces The Devil

Both weapons launched at each other as the effect of their energy eruption produce turbulent wind in the whole stage. The stage shook heavily that one would think it was about to collapse.

*BOOM*

Devon frowned as he felt a movement in the surrounding. The weapon collided with each other, and with their collision, the whole stage seemed to have become foggy.

If Derek's spear force manages to breakthrough Devon's sword, not only will it sever the connection it had with its owner, the spear would also be able to deliver a lethal blow to Devon.

And the same applied to Derek if it's Devon's sword who comes out on it

Time seemed to have stopped as the two men were glaring at the foggy scene ahead. They were on high alert, not even daring to let their guard down for a single moment.

A few minutes later, the foggy scene had become clear, and the two men saw something that made a frown appear on their faces.

Teresa was standing on the stage with their weapons in her hand. She had to stop their battle as something huge had happened in the outside world, and they had to leave here immediately.

Derek regained his human form and stumbled straight to the ground. He tried to remain conscious, but his body was weaker than he expected.

He believed that for Teresa to interfere in their battle something very big must have happened or else she wouldn't have done so.

Surprisingly, her action led him to another discovery, as he then figured out his demon form could only be used for twenty minutes. Anything after that would make him pass out.

However, someone wasn't as understanding as Derek. A youth appeared in Teresa's front and grabbed her neck, Teresa being caught off guard wasn't able to dodge the move fast enough.

The youth tightened his grip on her neck, if this was any normal human, then by now that neck would have broken severely.

She stared at the person who had just made a move towards her, and her eyes couldn't hide how shocked they were. Never did she imagine that a day like this would come.

"Who do you think you're?" Devon said, his whole body brimming with intense killing intent.

Teresa's body shook heavily, feeling the life force that was flowing from her body into Devon's body. Teresa didn't make any attempt to get free from Devon's grasp on her, she was in mid-air as her body has been lifted by Devon.

She then continues staring at Devon and after a while, she shut her eyes as if accepting her fate.

Seeing the look on Teresa's face before she shut her eyes, Devon had to admit that some part of him arched, but the drive to get rid of her for interfering was overwhelming for him.

It felt like someone was influencing him because he wanted nothing more than to kill the woman in his hands.

Even the black sword which Teresa was holding had flew to his hand, the only thing left for him to do was pierce her heart with the sword and everything was over.

The fact that Teresa wasn't struggling made everything easier, the negative emotion came pouring into Devon.

He stretched the sword out and just about when he was about to pierce her abdomen. The surge of memories of the time they spent together began rushing through Devon.

Devon suddenly let go of her, he staggered, finding it hard to believe, he had just done to her. Ever since he had arrived in the auction, Teresa had been nothing but nice to him, she even showered him with affections.

So, when did he have to hurt someone like her? "Why!!!!!!!!!" Devon roared, grabbing his head with both hands.

Teresa, who had figured out what must have happened appeared behind Devon and tapped his shoulder. Devon fell straight to her hand, falling unconscious.

She used her finger to trail across Devon's exquisite face, she then gently kissed him on his forehead. "Whoever you're I'm going to make you pay for this," Teresa stated.

"Little girl... Don't bite more than you can chew." A man appeared before her, if Devon was conscious, he would recognize the man to be the same old man he absorbed energy from.

The old man was the first man Devon absorbed cosmic energy from.

Teresa gently placed Devon on the ground and stood up. "So you're the Devil, he signed a contract with." said, clenching her hand into a fist.

"Hehehehehehehe.... Little girl, you know I wouldn't have revealed myself if it wasn't for your pesky emotions getting in the way."

The old man placed his hand on his chin, "What is it with you women. Can't you just leave him alone, everywhere he goes he's like a chick magnet?"

"Sleeping with the kid is already enough, why must you begin to rub feelings all over him? You're distracting him from his goals."

"The deal in his contract with me is that he will not be able to fall in love, and Devon accepted. The kids keep telling you people so many times but no, you're all just self-centered."

A bone-chilling smile appeared on the old man's face afterward, "There was one lady he also met, if it wasn't for my interference he would have gone against the contract."

"The kid is incapable of developing any emotion, however, he longs for attachment."

Teresa remained silent the entire time, as she was beginning to understand the whole situation. Some months back, Devon told her to find her better man for her sister as he's incapable of giving her what she wants.

She had always wondered why, after listening to this old man, the pieces were coming together.

"Emotions are for the weak, it hinders a man from achieving his true potential. And I've come a long way, no one is going to ruin my plans. At least not anymore."

Some words picked Teresa's interest, "What do you mean by not anymore?" Teresa asked.

"Since you're going to die anywhere, then there's no harm in telling you." The old man or better still the devil said.

"Some months back the kid had a memory gap and all of a sudden, he appeared in the front of this auction. The strangest thing of all was that even I, the devil also have no memories of what happened."

"How is that possible?" Teresa inquired, even she found it hard to believe it.

"The same thing happened a few weeks ago, that same gap in memory, and each time the kid returns he comes back different." The devil stated.

Teresa seemed to have recalled something, "That explains why he was so different after his training, I thought it was because of the advancement of his soul stage."

"Enough talking, since we have bonded well within this short time I will give you two options, so pick whichever one suits you."

"A quick death or a fast death." The Devil said with a smile on his smug face.

Teresa burst out laughing, "You're a funny Devil if you believe you can kill me." a purple blade appeared on Teresa's hand as she revealed her power level to the old man.

"If you were at your peak then maybe I won't stand a chance at you, but with the little strength, you possess I doubt that possible."

As much as the devil tried to hide the shock in his face, he couldn't.. This lady was very much stronger than he expected.
