However, the previous gang fights all seemed to be very big, but they ended up fizzling out... because Yulia was in Locke City, and Yulia would not stand idly by while gangs fought and disturbed the peace at night.
While Yulia is still not comparable to someone in the Fusion stage, she is definitely not someone that an ordinary Control-level opponent can handle. Especially since Locke City is her home turf, she has a whole support team who will guide her on how to use magical artifacts to break her opponent's spells.
This makes Yulia virtually invincible without the intervention of a powerful expert in the Fusion stage.
Every time a fight breaks out between an outside gang and the White River Gang in Locke City at night, Yulia would seemingly intervene fairly—meaning she would beat up both sides at the same time, even if the outside gang also had a master-level mage.
Control-level mages who join gangs are generally not particularly strong and are no match for Yulia. They often can't even withstand one of her serious punches.
After beating up both sides in the fight, Yulia said they should reflect on their actions, but in reality, she just left the two groups of people who had been knocked unconscious on the street, which seemed quite fair.
But this is Locke City, the stronghold of the White River Gang, and those people in the White River Gang are all seasoned actors. Many of them weren't actually knocked unconscious; they were just faking it.
So once Julia leaves, an ambulance will immediately come to take the fighters away for treatment... but only the White River Gang members can receive real treatment, while members of other gangs are basically sent directly to the kingdom on the south bank of the Emerald Strait to serve the rich elven women.
As for using a Fusion Stage powerhouse in a gang war... that's really outrageous, like someone throwing a nuclear weapon in a street brawl on Earth, it's practically impossible.
Without a powerful expert at the Fusion stage, defeating Yulia in Locke City would be virtually impossible.
Many of the outside gangs that realized this chose to temporarily cease hostilities and patiently wait for an opportunity when Julia was not in Locke City.
Now is the chance.
The annual hunting event held by the Lohid Magic Academy in late autumn and early winter is no secret in the upper echelons of the Federation's social circles; in fact, many powerful figures consider it an honor to receive an invitation.
So it's not hard for anyone who wants to know that Emeryte accepted the invitation to the event and brought Julia along.
Tonight and tomorrow night, Locke City will be without Julia's protection. This news has many outside gangs eager to make their move.
Although the White River Gang still exists in Locke City and possesses a large number of military weapons, some outside gangs don't take them seriously.
Only the most powerful gangs dare to come to Locke City to seize territory; these are all major gangs, some even super gangs that control a gray market business in a large part of the state.
Military weapons are powerful, but the White River Gang still has too few strong members. There is only one master mage, Batis, and Batis is rarely in Locke City. Most of the time, she is leading her men to fight outside.
So what else is there to be afraid of?
At least the Morai gang isn't afraid.
The Molai Gang is a large gang with territory in more than 20 cities across the Federation. The gang is full of talented people, including 11 master-level mages.
The Molay gang does all the kinds of business that ordinary gangs do, such as loan sharking, fraud, gang theft, and protection money collection. Sometimes they even take on kidnapping and assassination jobs, making them quite notorious within the gang world.
The Molai Gang was commissioned by a major client for this expedition to Locke City, and they took it very seriously, sending 5 of their 11 Master-level Mages.
On their very first day, one of the master-level mages was instantly killed by Yulia with a single punch, and has been missing ever since, as if he had vanished into thin air. Yet, the results of prophetic magic indicate that he is still alive.
The other four control-level mages from the Molai Gang believe that the Baihe Gang is the one who imprisoned their companion, so they plan to teach the Baihe Gang a lesson tonight and rescue their companion.
Therefore, when night fell on Locke City without Julia's protection, the impatient Molai Gang was the first to act, and they were very ruthless. All four of their Master-level Mages took action and destroyed a White River Gang stronghold with almost overwhelming power.
The White River Gang members inside the stronghold were equipped with military gear and fought desperately, but the difference in strength was too great, and dozens of them were killed by the Molai Gang's master-level mages.
The Molay gang's move actually deterred the other gangs that were also planning to take advantage of the chaos that night.
Those gangs seemed worried that the Molay gang would completely anger Miss Melson... They just wanted to seize a piece of territory in Locke City to make money and test Miss Melson's bottom line, but they didn't want to be wiped out by real military-level firepower.
So after seeing how ruthless the Molay gang was, many gangs backed down and even distanced themselves, saying that tonight's events had nothing to do with them, and that if the young lady were to settle scores later, she should make sure not to involve innocent people!
The news of the stronghold being occupied and dozens of members being killed quickly reached Fatty Wei, and many members of the Baihe Gang were indeed shocked.
Those within the gang know their own situation. The White River Gang is indeed not weak after being armed by Emery, but its foundation is still too weak. It lacks truly elite and powerful members, and it will be no match for a large gang like the Morai Gang.
No matter how powerful military weapons are, ordinary thugs can't defeat a master-level mage with them.
"Why are you panicking?"
Snapped!
Seeing his underlings looking scared, Fatty Wei immediately became angry.
He slammed his hand on the table and scolded:
"A bunch of idiots! How are you going to repay the young lady's kindness with your condition? Didn't the young lady realize that the enemy would attack while Lady Yulia was away? Hmm?"
Hearing that their young mistress had anticipated this matter, the Baihe Gang's management, who had been somewhat panicked, immediately found their pillar of support and looked expectantly at Fatty Wei.
"……Why."
Fatty Wei shook his head in disappointment at his subordinates.
They're just a small gang from a small city; they've never seen the world, and they panic at the slightest thing.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the real elites of the Baihe Gang were all taken away by Badi.
Fortunately, Fat Vi was still capable; at least he could faithfully carry out Amelie's orders. He carefully opened the locked drawer on his desk and took out three magic scrolls.
"This..."
The scroll had not yet been opened, but it already exuded a very strong aura of necromancy, causing everyone in the room to shiver.
Chapter 162 Why didn't you pee your pants in fear?
A magic scroll is a scroll in which the caster seals their magic in advance, so that it can be quickly released or given to others when needed.
The original idea of the ancestor Melson was to create a magic scroll that could be used multiple times to solve the problem of insufficient numbers of human magicians. As a result, he continued his research and eventually successfully developed a groundbreaking magical technology, which also made the Melson name great.
The three magic scrolls that Fatty Vie took out at this moment were made by Emery herself.
It wasn't that Emerald didn't want to give Viktor a more convenient magical artifact, but rather that these three scrolls contained necromancy, specifically the unique necromancy of the old lich Granny Ya. Emerald couldn't pass it on without the old lich's permission, so she could only leave Viktor three one-time use magic scrolls.
The three scrolls were two purple and one black. The black scroll had the strongest necromancy. Even just a glance at it could make one feel a bone-chilling cold, as if it were staring into the abyss.
"The young lady said that if the number of enemies at the Control level is less than 10, these two purple scrolls will suffice. If the number of enemies at the Control level exceeds 10 or they have entered the Fusion stage, then the black scroll should be used..."
Fatty Wei murmured as he recalled Amelie's instructions, then carefully put the black scroll away again. The chill in the room immediately lessened, and the White River Gang leaders, who hadn't dared to breathe loudly before, finally dared to breathe freely.
Ignoring them, Fatty Wei carefully opened the first purple scroll, his body trembled, and a purple light shone in his eyes.
At this moment, even though Fatty Wei was still sitting in his room at the White River Gang headquarters, he felt as if he had flown off the roof and was flying high in the sky, looking down at the entire Locke City and seeing every single detail of it.
"Is this... what it feels like when the young lady is in control of this city?"
With a longing tone, Wei Pangzi murmured a sentence softly, and immediately came back to his senses.
Now is not the time for idle thoughts. The most important thing is to use the power left behind by the young lady to quickly eliminate the invaders.
Fatty Wei didn't know what kind of magic was in the scroll, but he inexplicably knew how to use it.
With a thought, the area where the Baihe Gang stronghold had previously fallen was magnified in his eyes until the situation inside the stronghold was fully revealed.
The Molai gang members, who had just captured the stronghold, had not yet left and were ransacking the Baihe gang's wealth.
The four master-level mages were also quite conspicuous; their magical costumes were all in a flamboyant, outlandish style, making it impossible for them to go unnoticed.
Kill them!
Wei Pangzi silently recited this in his mind as he tore open the second purple scroll.
Immediately, two dark purple cracks appeared in Locke City. One, a larger dark purple crack, appeared in mid-air, while the smaller one appeared on the ground.
Whoosh!
A large, white-boned bird that the fat man didn't recognize flew out of the dark purple rift in the sky at great speed. It was the white-boned delta-wing fighter that Amelie had created when she passed the old lich's test.
At supersonic speeds, the distance of several thousand meters was covered in an instant, and multiple bone spike missiles spewing phosphorescent flames rained down from the sky, heading towards the Molai gang members inside the White River Gang's fallen stronghold.
"Watch out! Attack!"
Only the four master-level mages reacted the fastest, quickly using magical shields for defense.
But ordinary Molay gang thugs don't have that kind of strength and reaction speed.
Boom boom boom!
Although the bone spike missiles did not directly hit any of the Molay gang members and the blast radius was not large, they still carried all the curses and corpse poison that are inherent to necromancy products... In particular, the power of these curses and corpse poison is directly linked to Amelie's strength, and Amelie is in the fusion stage.
"Ughhhhh..." xN
The result was obvious: the ordinary thugs of the Morley Gang were completely helpless. They would die within seconds if they were touched by even a little bit of the corpse poison and curse. Even if some of them reacted quickly and cut off the contaminated area with a knife, it was useless.
The four master-level mages certainly carried magical artifacts for healing and detoxification, but how good could the equipment of mages supported by the gang be? They were mostly old-fashioned magical artifacts from more than 10 years ago, which were completely useless against Emeryte's magic.
In just a few breaths, none of the ordinary thugs of the Molai Gang, who were just cheering and celebrating their victory, were alive. Most of them didn't even leave behind a corpse; they were directly turned into pus by the curse and corpse poison.
"Asshole!"
Among the four master-level mages, a chubby, flamboyant young man was the first to turn red, presumably because one of the dead ordinary thugs was his friend.
"I will definitely take you down!"
The chubby boy jumped onto the rooftop of the White River Gang's fallen stronghold, took out a magic crossbow taller than himself from behind him, and aimed it at the sky.
He wasn't blindly confident; he was the team's marksman, and his innate magic enhanced his shooting ability, making him best at dealing with aerial targets.
And indeed, in less than two seconds, the chubby boy locked onto the flying Bone Fighter with his innate magic. He was confident that if he fired the bolts from the large magic crossbow, he could at least severely damage the Bone Fighter.
!
Just as the chubby punk was about to pull the trigger of the magic crossbow, he suddenly and inexplicably changed the target of the crossbow bolt, switching to a horizontal shot and aiming it at a black knight who had somehow jumped onto the rooftop.
The black knight was dressed in standard heavy iron armor, holding a large shield in both hands, without any weapons.
The Black Knight is, of course, also the ghost of Emerald, the female captain in the black veil... When she was tested by Granny Ya last time, Emerald thought that the female captain's innate magic was surprisingly useful, but the female captain herself was a bit fragile and not very durable, and was not quite qualified to be a tank.
So Emerald equipped the female captain with the heavy armor and large shield she was wearing now, all top-quality equipment bought with money, and all the attribute modifiers were for enhanced defense.
"Shoot you! Shoot you! Shoot you!"
Under the influence of the taunting ability, the chubby punk seemed to have lost his mind, continuously firing his magic crossbow at the Black Knight.
The female captain's innate magic already had a high damage reduction effect, and now that she had transformed into a black knight, her own defense had also increased significantly. What should have been a fatal attack immediately became a mere scratch... The crossbow bolt, which was more than a meter long, couldn't even be embedded in the great shield; instead, it was deflected.
Meanwhile, the Bone Fighter wasn't idle either; it locked onto the chubby punk boy and fired a bone spike missile.
The single bone spike missile wasn't particularly powerful; a mage in the mastery stage could handle it by defending or dodging with all their might. The chubby kid's companions were also loudly reminding him to defend.
However, the chubby punk was still affected by the mocking ability. He didn't even look at the bone spike missile that was about to hit him. He was completely focused on the Black Knight and was loading his crossbow with all his might, wanting to fire another shot at the Black Knight.
And so his tragedy struck. Caught off guard, he was directly pierced by the bone-spiked missile, and then the explosion shattered his body. The curse and corpse poison completely severed his life force and corrupted his soul. He was dead beyond any hope of survival.
"……withdraw!"
This scene made the other three master-level mages look extremely ugly, and they chose to run away almost without hesitation.
We have no choice but to run... The chubby punk is the only marksman in the team. Without him, they would struggle to even deal with the high-speed flying skeleton fighters, let alone the Black Knight with his rather bizarre abilities.
But now that we're here, how can we escape so easily?
At least Fatty Wei had no intention of letting the three go. He kept his thoughts fixed on them, and no matter how they tried to escape, it was no use.
The Black Knight quickly jumped onto the Bone Fighter and repeated the process of killing the little fat man. One used taunt to control him and the other used bone spike missiles to attack. With almost no effort, he killed all three master-level mages who had split up and fled.
What could have been a lively night in Locke City came to an abrupt end with the complete annihilation of the Molay Gang's elite forces.
After completing their mission, the Black Knight and the Bone Fighter did not disappear immediately. Instead, they continued to patrol the skies above Locke City, with the Black Knight standing atop the Bone Fighter, issuing a silent warning to the gangs that remained hidden and had not yet made a move.
"...Withdraw, all of you, and don't ever come back again!"
A decisive gang leader immediately gave the order.
"Are we really just going to leave like this, brother?"
His men didn't seem very willing to give up:
"Those two undead are powerful, but they're still only at the Control level. As long as we figure out the Black Knight's abilities and are careful, it's not impossible..."
Snapped!
The leader slapped the questioning underling away, sending him flying, and said angrily in a low voice:
"Are you all brainless? These two undead were merely summoned by Fatty Wei using a magic scroll... which means the necromancer isn't currently in Locke City and can't strengthen or replenish the two undead's magic!"
"In this situation, the fact that those two undead still possess such fighting power suggests only one possibility... their creator is a necromancy-specialized archmage or a fusion-stage mage! Even such a being has intervened for Locke City; how can we possibly have a hand in this city? Money is a good thing, but what good is money if you're dead? Let's retreat! Don't ever mention coming here again!"
Gangs that dare to play the "Dragon Crossing the River" game generally have some strength and insight. Soon, those lurking gangs all came to a similar conclusion—besides Julia, there is another archmage or mage who is most likely a necromancy specialist in Locke City.
This is hardly a fight that gangs can get involved in.
I can't afford to mess with them, I'm outta here.
For those gangs that chose to leave without making a move, Fatty Wei did not pursue them, because he also needed someone to spread the word about tonight's battle to deter more people who wanted to come to Locke City.
. . . . .
"Yes, you did a good job. I'll give you a reward when I get back."
The next morning, while having breakfast, Emerald received a magical communication from Viktor, who reported the events of the previous night to her.
