Although the attack of the True Devil Lava Giant ca out of nowhere, Liora was far from being caught by surprise.
Having sensed its existence long ago, she had already prepared herself in case of ergencies.
Facing the descending lava, her eyes flickered.
Her instinctive reaction was to face the blow head-on and rely on the Myriad Devils Body’s powerful defense to survive.
However, after shooting a glance at the Slave Lord, she restrained that impulse.
Grabbing Alpha by the shoulder, she pulled her backwards as the edges of her vision blurred.
Her movents were extrely quick, as if she were bending ti itself.
In the short ti it took for the lava to reach her location, she had already disappeared.
Both her and Alpha’s figures turned into re afterimages, reappearing behind the clueless Slave Lord a split second later.
The next mont, the scorching lava fell down as if the dam containing it had burst.
The sand covering the earth lted and turned liquid, while large amounts of rubble flew everywhere, like thousands of tiny cots.
Surprisingly, the person who had to deal with the impact was not Liora nor Alpha, but the Slave Lord.
As the remains of the lava hit her and left faint wounds behind, a trace of fury flashed across her face.
She was about to curse at Liora and ask her what she was doing, but Liora had already spoken up:
"What are you waiting for? Help deal with it!"
"Keep it still for so ti while I charge up my attack!", she shouted, and the fire elents around her flickered, gathering around her hands and slowly taking form.
Hearing her yelling, the Slave Lord could only swallow the words she was about to say.
Whether she was willing or not, she could only trust her for now and do as told.
Taking a glance at Liora, she turned towards the Lava Giant and attacked it. Chains erged from her back and assaulted it, as she did her best to buy Liora ti to prepare.
However, what the Slave Lord did not know was that Liora was not as busy as she seed.
Although her face was stern and full of focus, in fact, she had ample ti to take a look at what was happening around her.
Ignoring the dying mbers of the slave army and their painful screams, most of her attention fell on the battle between the Slave Lord and the Lava Giant.
Though their exchange was brief, Liora was able to analyze a lot through it.
"It seems that the rumors regarding the Slave Lord and the other five Lords are true."
"Unlike what their respective titles would suggest, she is a lot more powerful than the Violence Lord."
That much was clear to her.
During the fight between her and the Lava Giant, Liora instantly noticed that the Slave Lord held the absolute advantage.
The black chains shot out and, like dangerous serpents, encircled the opponent before attacking it from all directions.
Although the Lava Giant was a True Devil and would not be killed in a single strike like the other flaming creatures, it was clear that it struggled to keep up with the Slave Lord’s pace.
In Liora’s opinion, it was only a matter of ti before the Slave Lord would defeat it.
However, amidst this quite ordinary sight, Liora spotted sothing peculiar.
Even though the Slave Lord seed impatient and appeared to be going all out, as if she wanted to rescue her slaves, her act seed quite clumsy in Liora’s eyes.
"Sure enough, a Devil is a Devil after all."
"Even at tis like these, she chooses to hide her strength despite her subordinates dying as a direct result.", Liora realized, but she didn’t point it out.
She remained thoughtful and planned to observe so more and judge the Slave Lord’s overall strength and trump cards, when an angry voice suddenly echoed in her mind:
"What are you waiting for? Do you wish to see die?", the Slave Lord’s cold voice rang in her ears.
Hearing these words and the fury contained in them, Liora understood that she could no longer stay out of it.
Obviously, no matter how good her acting skills were and how much she tried to hide it, the Slave Lord was beginning to suspect sothing.
Though slightly reluctant, Liora stopped pretending and acted. Of course, she didn’t forget to communicate with her ally:
"This thing is born out of fire."
"Ordinary flas will never bring it any harm. Only by fully demonstrating my strength can I actually hurt it, or even kill it.", she stated, and not caring whether the Slave Lord would believe her, she finally attacked.
Her enhanced Elental Affinity was activated, and boundless fire elents gathered in front of her, taking a ball-shaped form.
As a few sparks lit up, a bunch of flas soon appeared.
They were orange at first.
But as more and more fire elents gathered and empowered them, they gained a tinge of red.
Before long, a completely crimson fireball was floating within her two hands, seemingly dripping with fresh blood.
Although Liora was this thing’s creator, she was still affected by its high temperature and sensed a trace of threat in it.
It was the first ti she had used Elental Affinity after devouring the three True Devil Fire Elental cores.
However, despite being surprised by its power, she did not remain stunned.
Raising her head, she looked at the Lava Giant and waved her hand, firing it forward.
As if she had predicted this, the Slave Lord cooperated seamlessly with her.
With a flicker, she flashed away from the opponent, and a loud clang echoed as the black chains surrounding the Lava Giant suddenly tensed up.
Firing from all directions, they tightened, forming a web of chains around the enemy.
So of them wrapped around its limbs while others bound its waist, holding it in place.
Before the Lava Giant could react, it was already too late. It had been rendered unable to defend itself and could only face Liora’s blow head-on.
The next mont, the crimson fireball arrived. Following a loud roar, its figure was engulfed by its own kind.
