Perhaps it’s a skill that Knights of this rank can use. The Marquis is only able to activate it due to igniting his Life Seed and recklessly overdrafting his own vitality.’, Liora realized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her analysis didn’t solve her current predicament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After blocking the space around her, the purple sword didn’t remain motionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like its name—Amethyst Swordfall—would suggest, the sword descended, firing towards her like a crumbling mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liora’s first instinct was to activate Life Ignition and break free. But, recalling the aura she had sensed not long ago, she restrained that impulse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She understood that getting rid of the Marquis was never going to be the end of today’s events. Therefore, it would be wiser to keep a trump card hidden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Liora didn’t choose to rely on her Devil abilities, nor did she utilize her power as a Great Knight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather, she chose to activate something she had not made use of in quite some time—Tongue of the Abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having acquired the Space Orb, Liora’s study of the mysterious blood had resumed. Thus, this self-developed ability—whose effects had once been quite straightforward—had undergone a major upgrade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Liora raised her head, her lips parted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An unexplainable power rose from her throat and emerged from her mouth, turning into a mess of garbled and disorderly words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanying these words was a flurry of symbols, which hurried towards the falling purple sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The symbols soon stopped along its path and contorted, combining in the air as if they were pieces of a larger puzzle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air in the hall froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The symbols soon united, transforming into a bizarre and squirming Devil Rune that seemed to describe everything evil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, its surface snapped, and from within shot a thin black thread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Resembling a tentacle, the thread whistled through the air, its glossy tip soon touching the purple sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it did, the sword’s momentum halted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, Marquis Lavender sensed that his connection with the sword had been severed, as if an invisible power had interfered with his authority over its control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Life Force surged and poured into this connection, wishing to wipe this power out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the Marquis discovered that this power was surprisingly fragile and that it wouldn’t take him long to erase it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his opinion, it would take less than a second—no, less than half a second—for the power to dissipate completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, what he did not know was that Liora was not going to give him the time required.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing that the sword’s downward charge had stopped and realizing that Tongue of the Abyss had taken effect, Liora’s eyes narrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mind moved, and a pale domain expanded with her as its center, soon reaching the Marquis’s location and engulfing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, she pointed at him with her fingers and brought her hand upwards while her lips parted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Soul Annihilation...\", she whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As her words fell, a white light flashed, and her field of vision shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before her eyes, the Silent Domain beneath Marquis Lavender twisted and transformed into a pale hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unbeknownst to the Marquis, the hand slowly rose and dug into his body, reaching for his soul and exiling it to Nothingness.\u003C\u002Fp>",1026,"2026-06-03T10:39:03.947Z",1,"novelbin.me","3aeb96aa51a7ff2aa01f45b4a8066911435ccc4d8198459451090c2a33a40959","evolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-chapter-136","evolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-chapter-134",482,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fevolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-cover.jpg"]
