Chapter 52: Crimson Maiden [14] - The Calm Before the Storm
Following the Owl Devil’s explanation, Liora had a rough understanding of his ability.
For the ability to work, the subject needed not to resist. In addition, each time he activated his ability, the Owl Devil would be affected by his target’s emotions.
The stronger the target, the more he would be affected and the longer it would take him to recover.
If he were to continuously use his ability on ranked Devils, he would very soon go insane.
Hearing this, Liora, who was contemplating whether to take the Owl Devil under her command, dismissed that idea.
She thought that although the Owl Devil’s ability may be somewhat useful, its niche use and several limitations made it pretty tasteless overall.

Before her rise, there was not a single Devil possessing more than a million Slaughter Points other than the Unknown and the Blasphemer.
On the other hand, the Blasphemer possessed four million points, while the Unknown had more than six million.
From this, one could understand not only the difference in their strength, but also in their means.
Thinking of this and considering her next plan, Liora finally made a decision.
"You have two options: submit and let me place a restriction on you, or follow your companions into death...
