It’s my job to protect you. Now, go back. Let me handle this,\" she replied indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elina nodded slightly. Without saying anything else, she turned and ran toward her mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man was surprised and wanted to chase after her, but his steps were immediately blocked by Malverna.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am your opponent,\" she declared coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you?\" The man narrowed his eyes warily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could feel the terrifying power coming from her. The shadow slowly transformed into a very beautiful woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t need to know who I am. What’s important now is that I’m going to teach you a lesson, you weak demon.\" Malverna smiled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the mockery, the man grew enraged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you know I’m a demon, huh? It seems I’ve found a worthy opponent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his left palm, and a black sword with a terrifying aura appeared in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gripped the hilt and lunged toward Malverna.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raising his sword, he swung it at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it had been Elina, she would have died instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword was a demon blade that had absorbed countless human blood essences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its deadly power was so strong that it could kill anyone struck by its edge—let alone be decapitated by it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, his opponent was Malverna.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the attack, Malverna casually raised her hand and pinched the blade between her index and middle fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" The man was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could react, Malverna clenched her left palm and punched him in the stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blow was so powerful that it created an explosion in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man’s body was thrown dozens of meters before crashing into a row of trees and destroying them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So weak,\" Malverna muttered with a small sigh. \"Have the demons of this era become so spoiled? How embarrassing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, Malverna felt disgusted with her own race. The demons of her era had been very strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was no exaggeration to say that even the weakest among them was equivalent to a trained soldier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just now, a simple punch had sent the man flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the demons of her era knew about this, they would be deeply embarrassed and sad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem!\" The man coughed while covering his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he looked at his palm, there was a spot of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn... who is she exactly? Why is she so strong?He wondered fearfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With just one punch, he felt as if he had come face-to-face with the Reaper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If his body weren’t far stronger than the average demon’s, that single blow would have ended him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, show me your strength. Is that all you’ve got?\" Malverna made a provocative gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...\" The man gritted his teeth in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, he was the one who often made such provocative gestures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, his enemy was doing the same thing, and it made him very angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t get too excited!\" The man gritted his teeth. He thrust the tip of his sword into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he pressed his palms together. A moment later, demonic power burst out like a crashing tidal wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding pressure spiked, and the air turned noticeably colder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, no one else was around. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to withstand such a sudden drop in temperature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four black lights appeared beside the man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, the lights formed figures identical to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They held the same demonic swords—even their auras were the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash, the four of them, along with the man, charged toward Malverna.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them swung his sword at Malverna’s neck but missed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malverna dodged effortlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she was about to retaliate, another figure appeared above her and tried to slash her head, but she dodged again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fierce battle erupted, and at first glance, it looked like Malverna was at a disadvantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s wrong? Having trouble now? Hahaha!\" The man burst out laughing. \"Don’t worry. After I kill you, I’ll eat your flesh and become much stronger! So get ready to be my meal!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spun his body and slashed Malverna in two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red blood spurted in all directions; her body split to the right and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha!\" The man laughed again, filled with joy. \"You... lost!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lost? Who says I lost?\" A playful voice sounded from behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His smile instantly froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With stiff movements, he turned around and saw Malverna sitting on a tree branch, swinging her legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thin, mocking smile spread across her goddess-like face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... How did you get there? And...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at Malverna’s split \"body\" and saw that it had turned into a black doll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A doll? What the hell is this? Have I been tricked?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his panic and shock, Malverna exhaled softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a foolish demon. Demon Emperor, you have truly destroyed your own race,she muttered, her voice full of disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She slowly climbed down from the tree trunk, landing gracefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no shoes or coverings, her perfect white feet were fully exposed, and the night breeze occasionally lifted her skirt to reveal her white thighs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All right, enough playing around. Let’s end this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She raised her right hand. Instantly, the space around the man seemed to condense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man panicked as he found himself unable to move even a single finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s happening? Why can’t I move?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how hard he struggled, it was useless. Then, a ten-meter-wide magic circle appeared above him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next second, a purple-black fireball shot down like a meteor from the circle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No... Don’t kill me... I’m sorry! No! Demon Emperor, please help me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fireball struck him and exploded. Within a fifteen-meter radius, purple-black flames engulfed everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Malverna had set up a barrier to prevent the fire from spreading beyond the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, the town of Virella might have been reduced to ashes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malverna stared indifferently at the scene, considering the man’s last words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Demon Emperor? Don’t tell me... He’s been reincarnated in this world.\" Her eyes narrowed, filled with murderous intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come to think of it, it made sense. Nolan had once said that her bastard disciple would rise sooner or later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehehe...\" A beautiful yet terrifying laugh escaped her lips. She lifted her head toward the dark, cloud-choked sky. \"My dear disciple, you’ve finally returned. But don’t worry—this time, let your master guide you to hell...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>--------\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A\u002FN: Thank you for your support!
