"Pfft-"

Julia threw out a mouthful of blood due to the backlash of her spell.

"Damn, this body is too weak," she cursed inwardly as her main body would have been strong enough to handle it. Then she gave an unbelievable look to Davion and said, "You are also a devil king."

She couldn't imagine that there was someone else hiding in the sect like her. However, it looked like he was here for another purpose.

Davion didn't deny it and was quite happy with this misunderstanding. Thus, he just hacked his axe towards her with all his strength instead of speaking anything.

"No.."

She panicked when she saw multicolored energy coming to her head. However, she couldn't react to it as his other hand was grasping her tight.

"BOOM"

A huge explosion took place and a deep pit hundreds of meters deep was formed.

"Woman, you can come out. I know you are in there." Davion's voice was heard from the pit. Nonetheless, he couldn't be seen as smoke and dust were still flying everywhere.

"I've underestimated you." Only when everything had subsided did Julia's voice emerged.

"A soul, huh?" He muttered as he saw it flying out from the headless body of Olivia which was laying on the ground.

"So, this is your true appearance, isn't it?" He asked since he saw a completely unfamiliar face.

"How do I look?" She winked at him.

He immediately felt some foreign aura trying to invade his body and his vision blurring. This was similar to what had occurred when he had held her in the frozen lake.

"Humph! You dare." He released his terrifying aura and nothing happened thereafter as that force was too weak infront of him in this form.

Her expression became ugly when she saw this. It seemed like her illusion technique was completely useless against him. Not only that, she couldn't fight with him physically for what the devils were known for as she didn't have her main body here.historical

"I'm in trouble. This is not my projection either," she thought. She knew that she would not be able to properly imitate Olivia if she hadn't possessed her with her soul. This was also the reason why she could use all her spells.

"Woman, are you scared?" Davion slowly approached her with his huge body while even stomping the head of Olivia on the way.

"You.." She became furious. Although it was not her main body, it was still something that she had possessed.

"Hehe, now tell me about your emperor. Who is he and what does he want? I might go easy on you if you tell the truth," He chuckled.

"Humph! You are the one who should be telling me this. Who's behind you? I'm sure it's a devil emperor," She looked at him suspiciously. She was guessing it might be an enemy of her emperor who wanted to foil their plans.

"Oh!" He exclaimed and thought for a while before replying.

"It's Devil Emperor Conard." Since this was the only powerful devil, he knew of, he mentioned him straight away.

"What?" If she was in her flesh, then she would have surely coughed out blood in anger. How dare he lied this way? Wasn't Conard the one whom she referred to as her emperor?

"Is something wrong?" Seeing her reaction, he questioned.

"He is the one behind us," she coldly said.

"Eh!" The situation became quite awkward. It looks like he got caught instantly.

"But I don't really care about it. I should be happy that I got some information about the person behind the scenes," he consoled himself.

"Conard, I can't believe it's really him. It looks like we will meet soon." He had a solemn look on his face as he knew that he was not a match against him currently. However, he would definitely catch up to him.

Julia had been observing him closely the entire time. When she saw his expression change, she was sure that he might have been scared after knowing it.

"Hehe, so will you tell me who you are? If you haven't joined any faction, then I will recommend you to the emperor." She suggested. This was how things worked in the Devil World. One would immediately follow someone stronger.

Listening to this, he shook his head in disappointment.

"Is there something else?" She asked when she saw his reaction.

"I'm fucking sickened of listening to this every time. Even Aiden was the same. Thus, I had to beat him to death and so will go for you too." All of a sudden, he opened his mouth and fired a beam of multicolored light.

"Shit" In the soul form, she was very fast and managed to easily dodge it. However, Davion right away followed with his thunder stomp spell and came ahead of her in the blink of an eye.

"BOOM"

The axe landed on her and she was smashed into the ground.

"Take this too."

A huge phantom of him appeared in the air behind him like the time with Aiden. But it was thrice as large as previously and an extra third eye could be seen clearly.

"Intimidation"

The moment he said this, the third eye blinked and a brown-colored light flashed causing the surroundings to appear brown.

"Is this an illusion?" Julia thought from the ground. Even though she had been hurt just now, she didn't have to care about the injuries due to being in the soul form. The only damage she would suffer would be in the soul Qi which would steadily decrease with every hit she takes. Afterward, she would completely disappear when her soul Qi finishes. So, the soul form had its own advantages as well as its disadvantages.

"No, it isn't." Suddenly she felt a deep sense of fear towards Davion who knows why. However, this didn't end here as she saw his phantom diving downwards. This made her fear, even more, causing her to shake and making it impossible to move.

"BOOM"

An explosion took place again and the pit caved in more. Davion was surprised when he saw this.

"It looks like my ability has also improved. Not only that, I don't know why she didn't even try to dodge it?" He was confused. It looked like there was something more about this ability.

While he was pondering, he saw a beam of light coming out from the pit. Indeed, this was Julia. But she didn't seem to be in a good state right now as she seemed to fade a little.

"Haha, are you going to pass out soon?" He gave a burst of haughty laughter.

"Don't think you've won yet," She yelled and waved her hands. Then automatically, a shiny object emerged out from the pit and reached into her hands.

"A spirit ring?" He recognized it.

"You've pushed me too far." While saying so, she took a strange black-colored lotus from her space ring.

Seeing the delicate runes on them, he was sure that it was at least a middle-grade devil artifact. However, he didn't know whether it was for attacking or for defense.

"I didn't want to use it as it would consume a large amount of my remaining soul Qi. But I have got no choice," she sighed. This was also why she didn't dare to cause problems in the Sect when she stayed there.

She just stayed a low profile while collecting information on the Sect and Davion. Even when he left the sect, she didn't dare to strike. She knew that she couldn't use her full abilities if she had to fight in that body. As a result, she had to depend on her soul to fight, which would definitely run out of gas soon. This was what was happening right now.

Nonetheless, the incident with Nora ruined everything she had done. Not only did she isolate the space around them making it impossible to escape, she even threatened to kill her. So, she had to show her true self anyways.

"I should not have slapped her," Julia regretted it. Who could have thought that she would fall into a big mess this easily when she was only trying to get close to Davion?

"Hiaz, it's useless to think about it. I should end this without wasting any more time and escape." She channeled her Qi into the lotus causing a dangerous aura to permit in the air. The lotus enlarged, and she stood in the middle of it.

"Flower Domain"

"This aura.." he became serious and gripped his axe tightly. He saw the landscape changing at a rate visible to his naked eyes. He was sure that it was an illusion. But he became unsuccessful when trying to use his third eye to break free.

"It has reached another level," he thought as he observed the scenery ahead of him. Everything had turned dark, and he found himself in a sea of flowers. He could even feel their breath. However, it wasn't fragrant but rather disgusting.

"These should be the flowers from the devil.."

"Puchi-"

He didn't even get the chance to finish his sentence when he felt his skin pricked by something.

"Fuck," He looked down and saw it was a petal of some type of flower.

"Don't tell me.."
