Instead, he had used it to seal the space, transforming this place into a cage for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Liora’s expression turned stern, and she made a quick decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mouth opened and, from inside, many symbols and words flew out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The symbols gathered into a Devil Rune in the air, and a thin thread shot out, launching at one of the nearby metal chains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the chain’s connection with the rest of the cage was severed. A gap appeared in the originally flawless cage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though this opening was not enough to allow Liora to escape, it was more than enough to achieve her goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liora’s mind moved and connected to the Holy Knight Array that she had carved earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During her fight with the unknown Devil, the Holy Knights had been affected by the aftermath and died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But thankfully, the array is still there.\", Liora commended as she confirmed its existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she gave a command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the core of the array, the Spear of the Blighted Sun began to spin erratically. Sometimes it spun clockwise, while sometimes counter-clockwise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, despite its erratic behavior and sudden change of direction, its speed soon grew terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right below it, the Devil Runes making up the array’s core suddenly parted. From inside, vast amounts of blood poured out and shot right at the spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This blood was the essence of every single cultist that had died in the stronghold so far, now used by Liora as fuel for the array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, used as energy to \"overclock\" it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood dripped onto the Spear of the Blighted Sun, but the spear didn’t lose its holy nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, the blood seeped into it, making its holy power grow deeper and denser.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demonic flames that originally revolved around it disappeared, retreating completely, as if they had lost the fight with the holy power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the sky, golden light dropped from the majestic high dome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stopping right above the cage trapping Liora, the light gathered in the air and began taking form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, a golden helmet, then a pair of armguards, and then the rest of a Knight’s armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, another new Holy Knight had materialized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that, unlike the previous Holy Knights, this one looked completely different, both in appearance and in power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It stood more than twenty meters in height, taller than even the monster that the unknown Devil had transformed into.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its power—fueled by the blood of thousands of people—was also extraordinary, surpassing the Great Knight rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Liora’s commands, the Holy Knight ceased flying. With a leap, it crashed onto the metal cage, blasting a wide gap along the metal chains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, it descended, landing right before Liora.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Liora’s expression was still stern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the newly opened gap in the cage was indeed wide enough for her to pass through, she no longer had the time to do so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At any moment now, the spiral attack of the unknown Devil would strike in her direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing this, she didn’t hesitate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her feet moved, and she launched at the Holy Knight. With a move of her mind, a small gap opened on its enormous body, from which she entered it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the gap closed, like an automatic door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Liora could do anything else—much less breathe a sigh of relief—the attack of the unknown Devil finally struck the ground before it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the air froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bright crimson light first spread throughout the cage, crashing on its walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, it travelled beyond it. The metal prison was unable to contain it for more than just a brief second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its momentum continued unabated, impacting the space of the demi-plane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cracks began forming on the space one after another, revealing a deep, horrifying darkness hidden behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world seemed to work hard to repair the damage, but shortly after one of the cracks recovered, another one would soon form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a brief moment, it seemed as if the world itself was going to be destroyed, plunging into eternal darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But fortunately, just when the world was on the brink of death, the crimson light started retreating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly but surely, it got dimmer until it completely vanished, like a candle going out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it did, the once prosperous stronghold of the Necronomicon Sect was revealed once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just that, unlike its earlier appearance, it was now utterly destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The buildings and ruins had been erased from existence, broken down to their smallest structure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the entire stronghold, only a towering monster stood alone beside a deep crater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its body was bloody and covered in cracks, like a porcelain doll that was ready to break.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, though it was his own attack, the unknown Devil had also been gravely injured as a result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But still, he was alive. He had survived, while his prey had disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or, at least, that was what the unknown Devil—in his unconscious state—believed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next moment, this belief proved to be wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shadows beneath him writhed. Four thick vine-like shadows shot from the ground and wrapped around his four limbs, like chains binding him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the unknown Devil tried to move and break free, his grave injuries and the shadows’ surprising toughness rendered him powerless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a figure appeared not far away. Staring at the unknown Devil who was struggling to break the shadows, Liora neither spoke nor celebrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She calmly raised her hand, and, as if responding to her summons, the Spear of the Blighted Sun spinning in the distance rushed towards her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Streaking through the sky, it arrived next to her and moved into her palm, as if it possessed a will of its own.\u003C\u002Fp>",1045,"2026-06-03T10:39:03.947Z",1,"novelbin.me","606dfc63336c695aea0169cc9cb9279b2fdbf48e88e50a3b3ccff023130abdae","evolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-chapter-144","evolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-chapter-142",482,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fevolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-cover.jpg"]
