Chapter 23: Crucible Ranking [2] - Alpha
In the Life and Death Arena, Liora faced a four-limbed, wolf-like Devil, weaving through its attacks with precise dodges and sidesteps.
Suddenly, her mind moved, and she stretched out her hand.
Following a black light, a whip materialized in her palm, which she lashed toward her opponent.
The whip, like a living vine, wrapped around one of the Devil’s front limbs and, with a sharp tug, pulled the creature toward her.
Staring at the massive figure, Liora didn’t panic but calmly raised her legs and kicked its exposed abdomen.
Following a loud, painful cry, the Wolf Devil was knocked back, its body sent flying through the arena.
Liora didn’t even blink as her figure vanished, blending into her shadow and flashing behind her.
The whip in her hand dissolved, transforming into a short dagger.
Clutching its handle, she aimed Wolf Devil’s head.
Its strong defense was easily pierced; the dagger drove into its skull and sank into its brain.
Moments later, the creature’s body shuddered and collapsed to the ground.
A translucent window flashed before Liora.
"Victories: 179. Draws: 0. Winning Streak: 179."
At the same time, loud—both happy and angry—voices reached her ears.
"Well done! Well done!"
"Idiot! How could you lose to this woman?"
Raising her head, Liora saw that the shouts were coming from the audience.
Having won so many consecutive battles, her matches now drew a decent amount of spectators, who were eager to see her win—or die.
Although their number was way less than those who had watched the fight between the Canine Devil and the Ink Devil, it was still substantial.
Taking a deep look at the audience members, especially those who cursed her loudly, Liora didn’t continue fighting. She was done for the day.
With a move of her mind, she communicated with the Demon World, and the next instant, her figure vanished.
--
With a crimson light, Liora’s figure reappeared in the mansion’s garden.
Compared to when she had left, her armor and skin were now covered in faint streaks of blood, while she subconsciously radiated a murderous aura, making the air around her feel oppressive.
Seeing the familiar garden and the beautiful flowers, Liora suppressed the murderous aura, blending into the serene scene.
Only the blood and scratches stood out, silent witnesses of her previous battles.
"I can roughly estimate my current strength now.
