Instead, it excited them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew that killing a strong enemy and devouring their soul would significantly accelerate both their evolution and advancement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after a Devil reached the Young Devil stage would this instinct slowly fade away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, at the moment, this fearlessness was an advantage, one that could determine the winners of this Trial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the attacks from every direction, Liora didn’t panic, her expression unshaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sidestepped a claw strike and waved her hand, slashing at the attacker’s neck and decapitating them. Their soul rushed into her mouth as she simultaneously fended off the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood, flesh, and broken limbs soon scattered around her, staining her arms crimson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This blood was not her own, but her enemies’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liora’s ruthless actions shocked even the mindless Little Devils. They could not understand why a Devil that was born alongside them could possibly be so strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, they didn’t stop, but kept swarming her. Their numbers did not dwindle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The carnage attracted more and more Devils, who rushed there wishing to take part.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under such conditions, even Liora felt the pressure mounting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially when the Devils, who had devoured their opponent and grown stronger, arrived, that pressure doubled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Things can’t go on like this.\", she whispered and summoned the System Panel amidst the ongoing battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At its bottom, the [Evolution Points] column flickered rapidly, the number beside it rising rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In such chaos, creating new Abilities is useless. The Shadow Claws are already more than enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rather than wasting points on Abilities that may or may not be useful, I’d rather enhance my base stats.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liora instantly did as she thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With her right hand, she grabbed the head of a goat-looking Devil and crushed it to pieces, while she allocated the Evolution Points with her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The points were distributed evenly among the [Strength], [Agility], [Vitality], and [Mana] stats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire System Panel flickered, her strength rising at a tremendous rate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, her body changed as well. Her frame lengthened into a more human silhouette, while every movement carried a new fluidity, grace, and lethal weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding Devils sensed her transformation, yet they pressed forward relentlessly, as if the death of their own kind was not enough to scare them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One Devil stood out among the swarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was tall, with blood-red skin and a long jaw filled with serrated, razor-sharp teeth. Its eyes gleamed with a spark of intelligence, and its mouth twitched as it launched itself forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a blur, the Split-Jaw Devil vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a heartbeat later, Liora felt a sharp pain in her forearm, and when she looked down, she discovered that a deep gash had unknowingly appeared there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So fast!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another strike followed before she could think any further, slicing toward her abdomen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, Liora didn’t remain still. She caught a glimpse of its movement before it struck, a red light flashing at the edge of her vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, shadow energy rippled across her arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Split-Jaw Devil’s blow was about to land, its claws did not meet flesh but a strange dark mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liora intercepted the strike mid-air, causing dark sparks to scatter upon the collision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she fought back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Devils moved like reflections of each other — strike, counter, dodge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the eyes of the other Devils, it seemed like two comets were flashing all over the place, tearing through everything that dared block their way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the Split-Jaw Devil vanished and flashed behind Liora once again, its jaw opening unnaturally wide. It looked like it was about to bite her head off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Liora had anticipated this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned and, without hesitation, thrust a claw straight into its mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The claw shattered its sharp teeth and reached the back of its throat, piercing through its flesh as if it were made of paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Split-Jaw Devil froze. Its body twitched as it hung in the air, only supported by Liora’s arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, the liveliness in its eyes disappeared, and it went completely limp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too weak! Too weak!\", Liora spat coldly and withdrew her hand, letting the body fall to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She grabbed the soul of the Split-Jaw Devil and devoured it, drops of saliva dripping from her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill! Kill! Kill!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning to the remaining Devils, her expression twisted, and the crimson in her eyes deepened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strange grin spread across her face, making her look like a monster that had not eaten for months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liora didn’t give the Devils time to react. Instead, she rushed forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tore, devoured, and destroyed everything and everyone she met along the way, bathing her body in their warm blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time ceased to exist amid this mindless slaughter. Only the blood and painful screams remained, silent witnesses to the bloodbath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then suddenly, the chaos stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air seemed to tremble, as if the world itself was holding its breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strange power locked onto Liora, sealing her and preventing her from moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Liora have the time to pay attention to the state of the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sea of corpses had unknowingly formed around her, while in the distance, even more corpses lay on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the entire riverbank, only a hundred figures—a hundred Devils— remained standing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to when they were first born, these Devils had changed dramatically, whether it was in shape, aura, or, more importantly, in power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it over?\", Liora whispered, having a faint guess about what was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mere second later, this guess was confirmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A vast Will that seemed to have existed since the Universe’s creation descended on the River of Oblivion, dripping with bloodlust, madness, and chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Will \"looked down\" upon them before a voice echoed inside every Devil’s soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have survived the Trial. Teleportation begins in 3...2...1...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world twisted. The sky shattered. The souls in the River of Oblivion screamed toward the crimson moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the countdown ended, Liora felt reality itself spiral around her.\u003C\u002Fp>",1052,"2026-06-03T10:39:03.667Z",1,"novelbin.me","5b5ce033a919bf0d881a85a7375f080e2123a5cb481bbb77fd48a5ef46dedcf8","evolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-chapter-4","evolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-chapter-2",482,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fevolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-cover.jpg"]
