A member of the Demon Cult!\", the Marquis snorted while his eyes gleamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn’t expect that a mere True Knight would dare to intrude into our stronghold. It seems that the Holy Sect has not shown its fangs for a long time, and people have begun to underestimate us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, the Marquis’s frail hands pressed against the throne’s armrests, helping him rise to his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he did, continuous popping sounds echoed as his spine straightened, and his shoulders were brought back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fragile appearance that he had possessed throughout this time disappeared in an instant, now showcasing the true demeanor of a Great Knight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waving his hand, the Marquis wrapped Edric up with a gust of purple smoke before hurling him out of the room, ensuring that he would not be harmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he turned towards the intruder. He didn’t speak but took action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Large amounts of purple Life Force flew out of his body and surrounded him, transforming into thick armor that wrapped him completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A purple sword formed in his right hand, and after he weighed it for a brief moment, his figure vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he showed up again, he had teleported before the member of the \"Demon Cult\" and was in the middle of waving the purple sword forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like the Marquis had mentioned earlier, the intruder was indeed only a True Knight. Yet, despite the large gap between them, she wasn’t completely helpless against his charge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with the sudden attack, the robed woman didn’t use her Life Force but instead brought out a golden scepter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clutching it tightly in her hand, she murmured something in a soft, inaudible voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, a brilliant light formed at the gem embedded in the scepter’s tip before it shot forward, ready to meet the sword’s sharp edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the two clashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the golden light and the purple sword offset each other, ending up as equally matched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, neither of the two parties stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Marquis swung his sword and performed another Purple Sky Slash, while the robed woman lifted the scepter and defended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the two were engrossed in their battle, though, they didn’t notice that a third person had unknowingly appeared in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, that person stood not far away from the shadow that the robed woman had just stepped out of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring silently at the scene unfolding outside, Liora’s expression remained calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was not surprised by the robed woman’s arrival, having long sensed her existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Liora had caught the robed woman entering the room at the same time as she did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like Marquis Lavender, she also recognized her identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she used an entirely different term than he did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’A member of the Holy Church...’, Liora thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her crimson eyes concentrated, studying the methods utilized by the woman to defend against the Marquis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The familiar holy power surrounding the scepter fell in her eyes, as well as the power of the \"blessed\" equipment that only the Holy Church could produce in this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It seems that I am quite fortunate. With this person here, it will be far easier for my plan to succeed.’\u003C\u002Fp>",1017,"2026-06-03T10:39:03.947Z",1,"novelbin.me","0262fa2eac5d4fb1efb6926781013db6483626b01ef0b655f5b061220b2c7cb6","evolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-chapter-133","evolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-chapter-131",482,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fevolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-cover.jpg"]
