Liora did not take any further action besides transferring the technique to Assira.
This was the agreent that the two had reached before, and the main reason behind their cooperation.
Assira provided her with information and took action to help her whenever necessary, while Liora would give her this technique if she were to obtain the full inheritance.
To be honest, Liora did not fully understand Assira’s purpose in the past.
However, when she got her hands on the technique and went through its contents, she quickly realized her purpose.
Just like the vast majority of the items contained in the inheritance, this technique was also geared towards the soul.
But compared to the other techniques, such as the Heart Refining Technique or those who provided simple soul attacks, this technique was far more complicated, related to other people’s emotions.
By manipulating the emotions of enemies, one could plant seeds into their hearts and slowly pull them into illusions.
If the influence was long-term and grew deep enough, the user could directly manipulate their opponents as if they were puppets.
Such a technique was only useful under certain circumstances for most people.
But for Assira, who was a Succubus and part of a race known for manipulating other people’s emotions, such a technique was extrely valuable.
"If nothing goes wrong, she should be able to use this technique as a springboard to advance further."
"However, I don’t know if this advancent is to the Throne stage or to the Anchoring stage.", Liora thought secretly.
As for Assira reaching the Ascension stage? The chances of that were slim.
If Assira had reached that point and possessed such strength, she wouldn’t have needed to make a deal with her to obtain this technique.
Even if there were restrictions set by the inheritance that prevented her entry, she could always find so loopholes to exploit.
Liora remained deep in thought. During this ti, Assira did not remain idle.
A few minutes later, she was finally finished digesting the contents of the technique and opened her eyes.
As she did, her smile grew even wider.
"Thank you!", she said, with a significantly more genuine smile on her lips.
Even though this was just a clone and Assira had just obtained the technique and had no ti to practice it, Liora sensed that so fundantal changes had taken place in her.
This further confird her suspicions. However, she didn’t attempt to pry into her secrets.
Returning the smile, Liora thought for a little while before asking a question.
"I’m planning to return to the Demon World. Will you co back with , or are you planning to return on your own?"
Assira shook her head in response.
"No need. My main body and my clone are deeply connected. As long as I exert so effort, I can directly return to the Demon World and to Hollow City."
Saying this, the smile on Assira’s face receded. She glanced at Liora and, after so hesitation, couldn’t help but remind her:
"It’s you who should be more cautious. You previously killed the mbers of the Universe Chamber of Comrce."
"More importantly, you obtained the inheritance these guys have been seeking for so long."
"Although the Universe Chamber of Comrce is not part of the apex forces within Hollow City, it still has several Archdevils in charge, with so of them being at the Throne stage."
"The higher-ups must have already gotten wind of what took place here. It’s very likely that they will send people to block you on your return to the Demon World."
Liora nodded upon hearing her words.
This was within her expectations, and she didn’t really need Assira’s reminder.
She knew that Archdevils possessed many more ans than Greater Devils.
Although the Demon World was far away from this world, there were many ways for them to know what occurred here, whether through abilities or by communicating with their now-dead subordinates.
Still, Liora was not too worried. If anything, she was faintly excited.
She had just advanced to an Archdevil. eting an opponent at this ti was not necessarily a bad thing.
Not only could they serve as a target to estimate her current combat power, but they could also help her beco more familiar with her current strength.
After all, improving in combat was far easier and more comprehensive.
"Thank you. You don’t need to worry. I’ll make preparations before my return.", Liora ultimately shook her head.
Assira did not question where she gained that confidence.
She had witnessed Liora’s power before her advancent, and even she was surprised. Now that she had advanced even further, her strength was bound to be even higher.
Even though she had just advanced, she was not a weakling among Archdevils.
Moreover, Assira knew very well that an Archdevil killing another Archdevil was quite rare and difficult to accomplish.
Unless one overpowered the other in all aspects, defeating them was easy, but killing them was nearly impossible.
Having said that, Assira no longer worried about Liora.
After the two exchanged a few more words and agreed on a thod to communicate, she said goodbye and turned around.
Before long, she had left the clearing and entered the complex corridors outside.
She didn’t request Liora’s help to leave the maze. Clearly, she had a way to accomplish this on her own.
Liora calmly watched her depart until her back disappeared into the horizon.
The mont she confird that Assira had left, she couldn’t help but shake her head.
"You’re so carefree. If anyone didn’t know any better, they would think that you owned this place."
"Moreover, aren’t you afraid that I will take action and destroy your clone?", she whispered softly.
At the sa ti, Assira’s earlier words replayed in her mind.
Her reminder seed to be good-natured, and it truly looked as if she was caring for her well-being.
However, Liora couldn’t be certain whether this woman was sincerely grateful for her help and wished to help her, or if she wanted to have her confront the Universe Chamber of Comrce.
Perhaps Assira and the Archdevils of this organization were enemies, and she was using this as a way to weaken the other side?
"Either way, it doesn’t matter."
"I would still inevitably clash with the Universe Chamber of Comrce even without her provocation."
"Not because I killed their mbers, but because I obtained the inheritance. These guys have been planning to get their hands on it for quite a while. They have no reason to give up."
"Similarly, I will also not give up what I obtained through my own hard work..."
