The villain daughter did all kinds of things

"Ouch! Ouch!"

This made Yulia scream literally.

Unfortunately, although Yulia quickly overcame the opponent's toxins through cellular evolution, it was not so easy to make her skin strong enough to withstand the spike attack. She was almost instantly stung by the humanoid demon bees, leaving her covered in bloody holes.

It must be Yulia who has the strength to scream after suffering such an injury. Anyone else would probably have been riddled with holes by the humanoid bees and died long ago.

If Yulia from the original game were to encounter this situation, she would most likely experience a flashback, and then burst into a tirade about friendship, bonds, courage, and so on.

But now, the Julia that Emerald was raising was not so good. After trying her best but still unable to fight back effectively, she chose to cover her head and defend herself, relying on her physical stats to tank the attacks while tearfully contacting Emerald through the communication magic device:

"Waaaaah... Emerald! Emerald! This thing is so powerful! It's definitely at the Ancient Dragon level! I really can't beat it... Waaaaah... It hurts so much! Am I going to be killed by it? Will I never be able to eat your cooking again? Waaaaah..."

"..."

Emery, who was still maintaining the Holy Shield, was speechless as she watched Julia's tearful face in the video call.

...Could it be that I've ruined this Yulia?

With these thoughts in mind, Amelie quickly began to act according to the plan.

She first used magic to control her body, making her rosy face appear pale and her calm demeanor look like she was very tired.

Then, deliberately speaking with a slight wheezing tone, she said gently:

"If the enemy is too strong, don't force yourself. Come back, Yulia, I can think of something else... Pfft!"

At this point, Emerald bit down on the pill she had been hiding in her mouth without hesitation, letting the red liquid, which looked exactly like real blood, flow down her chin and stain the white collar of the [Heavenly Wing Saintess] red.

"Huh? Wait... Amélie, why are you coughing up blood?"

Even when she was riddled with holes and barely panicked, Yulia truly panicked when she saw Emery coughing up blood, and finally started to think for herself:

"Could it be... that maintaining that incredibly powerful holy shield is taking a huge toll on you? Are you almost at your limit?"

"...No, how could that be? I'm a Fusion Stage expert."

Emerald merely touched the blood at the corner of her mouth, her face growing even paler.

"It's just protecting a city during a level 5 magic tide, easy peasy... Julia, if you can't hold on, come back, I'll think of another way... Hmm!"

Even though she tried to hold it in, fresh blood still trickled down her chin, preventing Amelie from finishing her supposedly easy words.

At least that's how Yulia sees it.

"Emerite? No!"

This scene completely snapped the string of reason in Yulia's mind, and she completely abandoned the little bit of intelligence she had just activated.

"So it was you who exhausted Emily to the point of vomiting blood with your demonic army, right???"

Yulia completely abandoned her defenses, allowing more parts of her body to be pierced and bleeding by the humanoid bees. However, when the humanoid bees tried to pierce deeper, they found that their stingers could not penetrate any further and were even sucked into Yulia's wounds as if they were stuck in a rock.

"You damned monster! Do you even know how kind and hardworking Amelie is?! How dare you come here and bully her! The Federation has such a vast territory, why don't you go somewhere else? Why did you have to come to Locke City? Huh? Answer me!"

Yulia continued to roar as if she had lost her mind, but her eyes lit up with flashing arcs of electricity, like a high-voltage circuit being switched on.

The humanoid demon bee remained silent, unable to speak, only continuing its relentless attack, determined to kill the noisy madman before it.

"You bastard, do you even know... I'm... absolutely furious!"

At this moment, Yulia looked as if she had been pulled out of a pool of blood. There wasn't a single unscathed spot on her body; it was covered in wounds from sharp spikes.

But she still raised her fist and threw a slow but determined punch.

At first, the humanoid demon bee didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just a dying struggle. But when it realized that it seemed it couldn't dodge or block the punch, it was too late.

Bang!

The punch landed squarely on the humanoid demon bee's chest. Although it failed to shatter the insect-like carapace, it sent the humanoid demon bee flying.

This punch seemed to have exhausted Yulia's last bit of strength. She felt excruciating pain from all the wounds on her body, as if she was bleeding out. She was dizzy and couldn't even see or sense where the enemy was.

But Yulia did not give up, nor did she despair. On the contrary, she felt she had never been so excited.

The image of Emeryte, pale-faced and coughing up blood, kept flashing before her eyes, causing Julia's heart to roar like a warship engine.

Power...I need power!

The power to crush this bastard in front of me and help Emerald lighten her burden!

"World... answer me... I am Yulia!"

As if struck by a sudden inspiration, Yulia murmured softly, uttering the unique call of the chosen one.

However, before the world could respond to Yulia's call, it was her belt that answered her first.

When it was detected that Yulia had suffered life-threatening injuries, her new magical belt activated, using the fusion organ inside the belt as a source of magical power to continuously pour magical power into Yulia's body.

The immense magical power was immediately absorbed by Yulia's cells, and her severely injured and near-death body was almost completely healed in just a few breaths. Afterward, the magical power continued to strengthen Yulia's cells.

"This power is...?"

Yulia was unaware of the secret of her belt. She clenched her fist, feeling the almost unstoppable surge of power, and a hint of joy appeared in her eyes:

"Could it be... that I've successfully broken through? Hahaha, I've broken through! Now I'm a Fusion Stage expert!"

After saying that, Yulia clenched her fists again, assumed a fighting stance, and even beckoned to the humanoid bee with her finger in a provocative gesture:

"Come on, you weaklings, let's keep fighting!"

At first, the humanoid bee looked at Yulia as if she were an idiot, but then its gaze turned to one of utter shock and disbelief.

Yulia didn't break through at all at first; she only absorbed the magic power from Wayne's fusion organ finger.

But Yulia herself was unaware of this. She thought she had broken through, and that after breaking through, she should possess almost limitless power.

The power of belief is the strongest magic.

When Yulia truly believed that she had reached the Fusion stage, her body began to forcibly absorb magic power and evolve towards the true Fusion stage strength.

Simply deceiving yourself is useless, because no matter how firm your belief is, if there isn't enough magic to transform your body, you will eventually discover that you haven't actually made a breakthrough, and your condition will drop again.

However, Yulia happens to possess a magical source sufficient to truly complete her physical transformation.

As Yulia's body cells evolved at an increasingly rapid pace, her rate of magic absorption also increased, to the point that even the magic production rate of her fused organs could not keep up.

Inside that magical belt, in order to satisfy Julia's magical needs, Wayne's fingers began to squeeze himself, shrinking him to produce more magical power.

Finally, when Wayne's fingers completely disappeared inside the magic device belt, Yulia forcibly broke through at the cost of completely consuming a fusion organ.

Unlike fusion-stage mages, she did not develop fusion organs within her body, nor did she achieve a soul-level sublimation like a grand mage.

She seemed to be the same as before, even her long, golden hair, which had stood up like it was being charged, had fallen down again and returned to its smooth state, and the golden lightning that flowed across her body was gone.

However, upon closer inspection, one can discover that not only has Yulia's injuries been completely healed, but beneath her seemingly fair and delicate skin, there is a layer of silver radiance flowing continuously, much like the electroplating patterns on the surface of a combat suit in a science fiction work.

This form of Yulia is very familiar to players of the original game.

Its name is—Super Magical Form.

"Come on, you small fry."

Feeling the completely different power within her, Yulia was in high spirits and once again beckoned to the humanoid demon bee:

"It's time for a new round to begin."

"!"

Although the humanoid demon bee was shocked, it felt no fear; instead, it became even angrier after being provoked.

hum!

With a high-speed flapping sound, the humanoid demon bee once again transformed into an indistinct streak of light, attempting to repeat its previous trick and pierce Yulia's entire body with bloody holes.

But this time...

"Too slow, you weaklings!"

What was previously difficult to keep up with was now crystal clear in Yulia's eyes. With a simple, small movement, she dodged the humanoid bee's stinging attack, while simultaneously raising her fist:

"And you're so weak, you little minion!"

Bang!

The punch landed directly on the humanoid bee's shoulder, instantly cracking the once indestructible insect carapace.

The humanoid demon bee, sent flying by a single punch, turned and fled towards its nest without hesitation. In the process of fleeing, it instantly absorbed hundreds of ordinary demon bees into black mist and repaired the crack on its shoulder caused by Yulia's punch.

"As expected... you are the core of this demonic tide."

Upon seeing this, Yulia was not surprised but delighted, and burst into laughter:

"So, as long as I keep beating you up, you'll need to keep absorbing those ordinary magic bees to heal yourself, which will also reduce the stress on Emerald, right? That's really... amazing!"

Chapter 218 Big fish bites the hook

How can you make a protagonist who is at a great disadvantage turn the tide?

In many works, there is a common formula: the protagonist has to witness the female protagonist bleeding, getting injured, or even dying.

Emery used the same tactic this time. When communicating with Julia through magic, she deliberately made herself pale and pretended to vomit blood. As expected, Julia was provoked and successfully erupted.

Of course, Emery had also made two preparations. If Yulia was really ruined by her and failed to accomplish anything, she had other ways to get rid of the Nest Lord—it would simply be that Yulia failed to break through this time, and they could try again next time.

Fortunately, I was lucky this time and succeeded on the first try.

Yulia wasn't the only one fooled by Emerald's acting skills; the other person was simply caught off guard.

The Federation military had already detected the Level 5 magic tide in Locke City, and it was no secret to many capable people.

Mondoly, the president of the art association who had been keeping an eye on Emerald's movements, obtained the news as soon as possible through certain means.

At first, Mondoly didn't pay much attention to the news.

The idea of ​​a level 5 demonic tide with a lord's strength reaching the level of an ancient dragon sounds quite frightening, but the Federation Army has dealt with it many times and has rich experience and mature tactics. As long as they are well prepared, they can keep the casualties to a very low level.

It wasn't until Emery arrogantly declared that she didn't need much help from the Federation army and that she could handle the demonic tide on her own that Mondori realized her chance had come.

After so many years of seclusion and hard work, Mondoly's advancement plan has now reached a very critical stage... at least in her own opinion, a stage where no mistakes can be tolerated.

A few years ago, Mondorie almost lost her qualification to Sulinsa, and she absolutely did not want to experience that again. She wanted to nip anyone who might affect her in the bud.

Therefore, in Mondori's eyes, Sulina must die, and she is willing to risk a blood feud with Emerald for it.

Just as Emery was not confident in defeating Mondoli alone and did not want to act rashly, Mondoli was even more wary of Emery.

Since the last failed attempt to hire an assassin, Mondorie's ideal scenario is for Emerald and Sulina to be separated, even for a short period of time. She is confident that she can kill Sulina quietly without alerting anyone.

Unfortunately, Emery clearly realized this as well, and during this time she took Sulina with her wherever she went. Even when she was practicing water magic with other women, Sulina would stay next door or even be with her.

This made Mondoly a little anxious, but fortunately, it seemed that heaven was helping her, and this time she finally got the right opportunity.

A level 5 demonic tide is nothing to a Fusion Stage powerhouse who has mastered their own power. Most Fusion Stage powerhouses may not be able to wipe out all the demonic tide monsters, but they are very confident in killing the demonic tide lord directly. Therefore, the Federation Army's most common tactic against a level 5 demonic tide is to have 2 to 3 demonic tide extermination legions cooperate with Fusion Stage powerhouses to kill the lord and have the legions clear out the minions.

Mondorie didn't believe that Emeryte wouldn't be able to handle a level 5 magic tide.

However, regardless of the circumstances, the lord of a level 5 demonic tide is an ancient dragon-level being. Mondori did not believe that Amelie could be on guard against a sneak attack from another fusion-stage being while fighting an ancient dragon-level being.

Once the battle between Emerald and the Demon Lord reaches its climax, it will be the perfect opportunity for Mondori to launch a sneak attack and kill Sulina—this was also Mondori's original plan.

However, when the demonic tide truly began, Mondor was still very shocked to see that Emery, in her [Heavenly Wing Saintess] form, protected the entire Locke City with just one move.

She couldn't do that, so she was even more wary of Emerald and even considered abandoning the operation and looking for other opportunities to strike.

Just then, Mondoly suddenly noticed that Emery's breathing had become labored, her face had turned pale, and she was vomiting blood.

Mondoly then realized what was happening.

That's more like it... Even for a Fusion Stage expert, it would be extremely difficult to forcibly defend a city against a Level 5 demonic tide. After all, the cost of defense is always greater than that of offense. Amelie's actions at this moment are far more difficult than if she herself had rushed up to kill the demonic tide lord.

Seeing how exhausted Emery looked, Mondori finally breathed a sigh of relief.

...She was ultimately too young, not as strong as he had imagined. Well, this is his chance; prepare to say goodbye to his little lover forever.

With that in mind, Mondoly no longer hesitated and quietly sneaked into Locke City. While everyone in the city united to fight against the demonic tide, she prepared to take drastic measures against Sulina.

Soon, Mondoly arrived at a street several hundred meters away from the main stage. She looked at Sulina, who was performing alone on stage to boost morale, and opened her mouth.

Mondori didn't seem to make a sound, at least not to those around her, but Sulina on stage suddenly trembled.

Su Lina felt a blur before her eyes, and the scene around her completely changed. It was no longer the grand stage in the central square of Locke City, but the old mansion of the now-declining Bolin family. Her sister, Su Linsa, who had been dead for many years, was smiling at her from not far away.

"elder sister……"

Su Lina's eyes welled up with tears. She reached out her hand to her sister, wanting to run towards her, but stopped after taking half a step.

"Come here, Nana, let your big sister give you a hug~~"
