It looks like I have to speed up the progress of my research. Otherwise, I will be truly stuck when I reach the peak of the Great Knight rank.\", Liora decided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was about to use the following time to comprehend a few more Knight skills. But just then, her eyes narrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under her gaze, the space of the demi-plane began to shake, and the clouds tumbled violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Liora sensed that two overwhelming auras were clashing outside, engaged in a battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Liora didn’t linger. Her mind moved, and a crack opened, swallowing her figure and bringing her back to reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with a quick leap, she climbed onto the building’s rooftop and raised her head, staring towards the distance, hundreds of meters away from Hope City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More accurately, she was looking at the place where the two auras were colliding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, the owners of the two auras fell into her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them was a beautiful woman in her late twenties with long purple hair and wielding a long spear, while the other one was a gigantic beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seemingly belonging to the ape family, the beast was more than fifty meters in height and was covered in thick, rough fur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It constantly swung its muscular arms around, colliding against the woman’s spear as it tried to tear her apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Liora’s gaze landed on them, she didn’t need to expend much effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She instantly recognized the woman’s identity. She was the person in charge of Hope City and the entire human side’s defense, the famous Duchess Lobelia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the beast could contend with her without falling into an immediate disadvantage, its identity was also clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a beast that had reached the Great Knight rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liora’s eyes focused on the two figures for a few seconds before they shifted towards the city’s walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attack of the Ape Beast did not seem random.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if it had been coordinated beforehand, a large number of beasts emerged and were attacking the stone walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knight Apprentices, True Knights, even beasts equivalent to Great Knights could be seen, as if they were trying to submerge the city and enter the human mainland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, the nobles could no longer follow the Duchess’s commands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether they were willing or unwilling to risk their lives, they had to step forward and fight with all their might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, Hope City would truly fall, and they would become eternal sinners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the war was fierce and murderous intent emanated from everywhere, Liora didn’t pay much attention to the nobles’ actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, most of her focus was on a beautiful blonde figure who waved a golden sword around, harvesting the beasts’ lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Eleanor, wielding the blessed sword that the woman had presented to her not long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a fish that had entered water, Eleanor wandered through the battlefield, with the Knights of the Black Tulip family following her footsteps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what beast she met, she would kill it with a simple swing of her sword, displaying the demeanor that only great generals possessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other people might not have realized it, but Liora, who was not participating in the war, noticed something bizarre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each time Eleanor slaughtered a beast, her strength increased a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the members of the Black Tulip family became braver while their fighting intent surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eleanor soon ended up becoming the center of the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldiers subconsciously gathered with her at the center, using her as a spearhead to break the beasts’ formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liora couldn’t help but click her tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, some people were inherently special.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter where such people went, they would become the center of attention, or rather, the main character.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While sighing, Liora shifted her attention back to the other battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She understood that, although the battle at the walls was fierce and bloody, it was not the most important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fight that would decide the war’s outcome was not the war between these weaklings, but the battle between Duchess Lobelia and the Ape Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Duchess Lobelia won, everything would be fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if the Ape Beast emerged victorious, all the humans here would end up becoming the beasts’ meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But judging from the current situation, this seems unlikely to happen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Liora observed the fight, the situation became clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duchess Lobelia was obviously stronger than the beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waving her spear around, as if she were performing a beautiful dance, she displayed terrifying power and overwhelmed the towering beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Liora’s opinion, it was only a matter of time before the Duchess would come out on top and defeat the Ape Beast, if not kill it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, though this was Liora’s analysis of the battle, she was not so certain about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If this were an ordinary riot of the beasts, things would indeed go on like this. But this time, the riot is different. There is a deeper purpose.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liora had not forgotten that behind the beasts’ attacks was the figure of an unknown person, a person with the strength of a Lesser Devil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, she did not believe that the Ape Beast’s arrival was an accident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most likely, some change would soon occur and tilt the balance of the war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liora’s thoughts were soon proven to be correct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a few minutes later, when Duchess Lobelia seemed ready to drive the Ape Beast away, a thunderous roar spread throughout the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the horizon, a truly massive figure appeared and, with a quick flicker, teleported next to Hope City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this beast didn’t participate in the battle between the Duchess and the Ape Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, it rushed towards the place where the soldiers and the beasts were currently fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its aura surged, freezing the air in the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, a large shadow covered the entire battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large palm appeared in the sky, ready to fall down and engulf both the humans and the beasts within it.\u003C\u002Fp>",1015,"2026-06-03T10:39:03.947Z",1,"novelbin.me","d4aa08ec47366944255cf16f945d5308235b0157b386f660a3ed177daf423a80","evolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-chapter-168","evolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-chapter-166",482,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fevolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-cover.jpg"]
