The array was unable to contain the full extent of his power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following his struggle, the black chains shook violently at first, before they began to crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like at any moment, the captain would break free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Liora would not give him the chance to succeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could see that although the captain had barely become a King of Knights and was unable to exert his full strength, he still possessed the combat power of a Lesser Devil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liora knew that she should never let such a dangerous person go!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without holding back, she used her trump cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, she ignited her Life Seed, burning her vitality in exchange for a temporary boost in strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she grabbed the Bloodforge Halberd and activated Bloodlust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boundless strength instantly filled her thin body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the effects of the two abilities, her strength skyrocketed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liora didn’t have the time to feel lost in that power, though. She was in the middle of a battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raising the imposing halberd above her head, she brought it down with a thrust and swung it towards the captain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its sharp edge glowed with a crimson tinge as it penetrated his skin and separated his body into two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the captain tried to put up a defense, his resistance was ultimately meaningless. The metal chains were able to restrict his movements. At least, until they broke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, Liora didn’t breathe a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she lowered her head and looked at the place of collision, she discovered that the captain was still not dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His bloody upper body used its hands to crawl forward while the other half’s legs bent in unnatural directions, as if they were both trying to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liora would not let him do as he wished, however.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a step, she left an afterimage behind, and her figure flickered above the captain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she brought the halberd down once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, she made sure that she aimed at a human’s biggest weakness—the head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thunderous boom echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The halberd whistled through the air before it smashed onto the captain’s head, blasting it into pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood and brain matter splattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This seemed to have completed the job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The struggle of the captain’s two parts ceased, and Liora watched a soul fly out of his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This confirmed his death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But things were still far from over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the captain died, the insect, curled up in his abdomen, finally moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a swoosh, it tore the Life Seed apart again and crawled out like a centipede.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t attack Liora but turned around and escaped at an extremely high speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary people would never be able to detect it, while even Great Knights would have trouble capturing its outline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Liora was not an ordinary person. The moment the insect emerged, her mind moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shadows in the research facility rippled and shot out like arrows, flying towards the fleeing insect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They gathered together in the air and wove one onto the other, constructing a large net around the insect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As more shadows emerged, the net grew smaller but far more sturdy, until finally, it trapped the insect inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the incoming danger, this creature wanted to struggle. But Liora took action before it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pale domain expanded with her as the center and covered its figure before she calmly raised her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under her call, the insect’s soul flew out of its body and was banished into Nothingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liora caught a glimpse of its soul’s appearance in the brief time that it was revealed to the outside world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It first looked like an orb, then like a drop of blood, until finally, its soul’s appearance matched its real one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This confirmed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The insect was not merely a manifestation of the blood, but a real, living creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liora’s movements didn’t halt because of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More and more darkness fell like black ink, engulfing the insect’s body and binding it more and more tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few seconds later, when its soul returned to reality and descended into its real body, the insect could no longer struggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it tried to move, it was unable. The net of darkness firmly trapped it in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s done!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Liora exhaled softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wove a few more nets around the bound insect, and after she confirmed that it could no longer resist, she finally sat down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only then that she had the time to take a look at her surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The devastated research facility, the captain’s body that had been split into two, and the insect that seemed to be sealed in amber...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All these sights fell into her eyes and, despite everything, she couldn’t help but let out a chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, this chuckle turned into full-blown laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe... Hahaha! I see! I see!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1037,"2026-06-03T10:39:03.947Z",1,"novelbin.me","4f79f9a65d50a90db99b6c1830f7bfaa0eaa1e5bd5343c1370bc393154f8dcab","evolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-chapter-187","evolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-chapter-185",482,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fevolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-cover.jpg"]
