Evolution: From Little Devil to Devil Empress - Chapter 214: Mutual Destruction

Chapter 214: Mutual Destruction

With a thunderous roar, the land in a radius of many kilometers turned into Hell. A massive earthquake occurred, followed by the formation of many blazing volcanoes.

Fortunately, Liora had already predicted that such a thing would happen and had fled as soon as she gave the command to the Fire Elemental to attack.

Floating in the sky, she lowered her head and gazed down silently, ready to observe the final outcome of the battle.

Even with her strength, Liora found it difficult to capture the movements of these two beings.

Not only were they extremely quick, but their every movement seemed to be beyond her cognition.

But soon after, Liora had an answer to her doubts.

Not because she witnessed the outcome, but because of the putrid smell assaulting her nose.

She recognized that smell. It was the smell of burned flesh.

Sure enough, a moment later, the Zerg Hive showed up in the outside world and fell into her gaze.

Although her aura was still overwhelming and oppressed the world around it, her current state was extremely embarrassing.

The hair draping over her shoulders had been cut off abruptly and was still on fire, while her dress and skin behind it were covered in burn marks.

Most importantly, half of the Zerg Hive’s face had melted, revealing the bare bones and a floating eyeball hidden beneath it.

“How dare you?! How dare you injure me?! My face! My beautiful face!”

A shrill cry emerged from her mouth.

Her words were extremely similar to what she had uttered not long ago.

It was just that this time, it was many times more deafening, containing anger, embarrassment, and most importantly, unabashed hatred.

Judging by her reaction, the attack of the Fire Elemental had brought her great harm.

But Liora did not have the time to celebrate.

The moment her words fell, all the emotions on the Zerg Hive’s face vanished abruptly.

Her gaze became cold as she turned her head and looked in her direction.

Immediately, their pair of eyes met, clashing through the air.

“Not good! A soul attack!”, Liora instantly realized.

She was about to urge the Fire Elemental to come and protect her, but unfortunately, it was already too late.

Her eyes grew hazy once more as her pupils became increasingly empty.

But this time, the sharp pain and the warnings of the Void Whisper failed to wake her up.

The continuous battles and the many soul attacks she had suffered earlier had already accumulated many injuries on her soul, rendering Liora’s Myriad Devils Body ineffective.

The next second, her body shattered.

Her blood turned into smoke, her skin turned into dust, while her bones transformed into grains of earth.

With a sweep of the wind, the last traces of her having ever existed disappeared.

Seeing this, even though she had experienced a lot, the Zerg Hive couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She had never expected that a mere Lesser Devil would push her to this point.

Not only had the opponent forced her to take back her “Divine Blessings”, but they had also seriously injured her.

“Thankfully, everything is over…”, the Zerg Hive whispered, and her eyes flashed with faint disappointment.

Due to the urgency of the situation, she had been unable to keep Liora’s corpse intact. This meant that she would be unable to devour her and thus strengthen herself.

But soon, the disappointment was replaced with excitement.

“The World Origin is still there. With this person gone and the Will of the World asleep, devouring it should be fairly easy—”

Just when the Zerg Hive was in the middle of her thoughts and was about to think about her next course of action, she noticed the temperature around her rise.

When she turned back instinctively to look at the reason, her eyes reflected the falling hand of a creature purely made out of fire.

“How is this possible?!”, she screamed.

These were her last words.

Already injured and caught off guard, she didn’t have the time to put up any defense. Under the Fire Elemental’s attack, her body was burned alive and split apart, while her soul was ultimately extinguished.

With her death, the Fire Elemental lost its source of energy.

After it exhaled for one last time, the flames making up its body went out, transforming back into Devil Runes.

Soon, even the Devil Runes dispersed.

By this point, there was no longer any living creature in the capital and its surroundings.

The land throughout this area had been utterly devastated, while several auras remaining behind collided, turning this place into a forbidden area.

Silence spread as the powers of fire, illusion, and darkness fought against each other and slowly merged.

Everyone else’s traces had disappeared, whether it was from Liora, the Zerg Hive, the Founding Emperor, or even the Pope.

It was very likely that no one would ever learn of the battle that had occurred here. Before long, this once lively place would turn into the legendary location where the stories sung by the bards took place.

—

Eleanor stared blankly at the blue sky above her head, unable to understand what had happened.

The scene she had just witnessed resurfaced in her mind.

The rain of blood, the crack in the sky, and the continuous trembling of the entire continent replayed again and again.

At the same time, the scene where the many Great Knights and Kings of Knights had exploded, and the beasts had retreated back into the Ancient Beast Wilderness, was still etched in her mind.

Eleanor could not make sense of the situation.

All she knew was that something very important had happened. Something that would alter this world’s destiny forever.

Subconsciously, a familiar face couldn’t help but emerge in her mind.

Perhaps it was a coincidence, but she couldn’t help but look towards the capital.

With her mere True Knight strength, she was unable to see what was going on there. But strangely, her intuition told her that this was the source of all the chaos.
