...
As the Fire Elental’s core lted and seeped into her body, Liora’s structure began to change.
First, her skin and bones transford into blazing flas that tumbled violently, and then she rapidly grew in size.
Her form slowly but surely approached that of the Fire Elental, until finally, their figures completely overlapped.
In the blink of an eye, Liora seed to have turned into a Fire Elental, looking exactly the sa as the one she had just killed.
Not only her external appearance, but even her aura was identical, both in terms of strength and frequency.
At the sa ti, pieces of information poured into her mind, while a few lines of words flashed in her field of vision.
...
[Fire Transformation: The user can transform into fire elents for a short period of ti. In such a state, the user becos almost invulnerable to physical attacks and targeted skills.]
...
This was an ability that all True Devil-level Fire Elentals possessed.
The only reason why the Fire Elental she had just killed had not activated it was not because it didn’t want to, but because it had been caught off guard.
Liora’s actions had been extrely quick and, above all else, very decisive.
Thus, it had been left with no ti to react
Sensing her current state and finding that she looked exactly the sa as her opponent, Liora couldn’t help but nod her head in satisfaction.
"It’s worth the Evolution Points I spent to create this ability. With its blessing, getting out of this place should be easier.", she murmured.
That’s right.
Liora had not created Overwrite to increase her combat power, but rather to improve her survival capabilities.
Most of all, she had created it to more easily fit into this valley and search for a way to leave.
She could be certain that with the identity of a Fire Elental, doing so would be far easier.
Liora nodded her head and was about to clean up the aftermath of the earlier battle.
But just then, her movents halted.
She sensed a dozen burning auras rushing towards this place, as if they had been alerted.
Before long, their owners arrived and landed on the ground, revealing their identities.
They were a bunch of Fire Elentals, completely composed of fire elents rather than flesh and blood.
They looked roughly the sa as Liora’s current appearance, except that they looked far less imposing and were much weaker.
These people were only equivalent to Lesser Devils, and since they were not actual Devils, they were fairly weak among beings in this stage.
In Liora’s opinion, most Kings of Knights could suppress them with ease if they were to ever face each other.
As she observed these creatures, Liora saw them bow their head in respect and look at her with admiration and reverence.
Clearly, the Overwrite ability had worked as expected, and these creatures could not sense that their companion had unknowingly been replaced.
Still, faint confusion flashed in their eyes as they surveyed their surroundings.
One of them hesitated for a few seconds, but finally mustered up their courage and questioned:
"Lord, what happened? Did any of these outsiders invade the Sacred Lands again?", they asked, as they glanced around and scanned over the aftermath of the earlier battle.
Hearing this question, Liora frowned.
For a mont, the atmosphere in this place froze.
Her aura grew stronger and oppressed the person who had just spoken up as she opened her mouth:
"Are you questioning ? Is what I’m doing any of your business?", she asked a pointed question of her own.
Due to her disguise, her voice had turned hoarse and emotionless, entirely different from her normal one.
Yet, the sharp murderous intent in her tone was apparent.
In response, the Fire Elental who questioned her shrank back. It shook its head repeatedly and bowed its head to express its obedience, while it tried to argue:
"No! No! It’s just that the orders of the Ancestor stated that—"
Before it could finish its words, however, Liora had raised her hand and attacked it.
She didn’t use any abilities, nor did she operate her demonic energy to empower herself.
Yet, when her attack landed on the Fire Elental, it instantly shattered its blazing body.
Her hand moved through the flas and dug even deeper, plucking its core effortlessly.
As she took her hand back, Liora’s eyes scanned the rest of the Fire Elentals.
Though shocked by her sudden and swift actions, they reacted fairly quickly.
Their expressions beca even more respectful, and they lowered their heads even further, as if afraid that any movent would anger her and result in their death.
But to their dismay, Liora rely clicked her tongue and remained silent, her eyes seemingly glued onto them.
This made their fear even more intense, afraid that they would et their demise the very next mont.
Although they had heard of their superior’s fiery mood and ruthless actions before, they had never expected that they would be so murderous.
Imdiately, several of them began to wonder whether they should request to be transferred to another area.
Liora did not know that these powerful Fire Elentals, who would have brought great terror in so weaker worlds, had such ordinary thoughts.
If she knew, she wouldn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
While playing with the core, she continued staring at these people with an "arrogant" expression.
But unbeknownst to everyone, her mind secretly moved.
The faint soul flickering within the core was affected. Slowly but surely, it was pulled out and was integrated with her.
