It took Ameliette almost two hours to fully recharge all the Skywing Feathers with magic.

Then, just like she had done with Wayne, Emerald first used a resurrection spell on the spot where Mondoly had died.

As expected, although Mondoly's body had been completely destroyed by the Touch of Wither, her soul still existed and lingered nearby, probably because her fusion organs were still intact.

Now affected by necromancy, even though Mondoly was clearly unwilling, she was transformed into a powerful evil spirit.

To be somewhat dignified, after becoming an evil spirit, Mondoly regained her appearance and also clearly regained some consciousness, her eyes filled with resentment as she looked at Emerald.

Amelite's necromancy skills are clearly no match for the old lich Granny Ya. This was true of the zombie Wayne last time, and it is also true of the evil spirit Mondorli now. Although they are all undead resurrected by Amelite using necromancy, they are not under Amelite's control at all. Instead, they retain their consciousness from their previous lives and are full of hatred towards Amelite.

Those powerful cultivators at the Fusion stage who died at Granny Ya's hands, no matter how much they hated her in life, would obediently submit to her after being turned into undead.

Of course, this might also be related to the fact that the fusion organs of the zombie Wayne and the evil spirit Mondorli remained relatively intact after their deaths. Those fusion-stage powerhouses who died at Granny Ya's hands all perished after their fusion organs were completely destroyed.

But no matter how venomous and vicious the evil spirit Mondori may appear, it cannot pose any threat to Emerald, because Emerald used necromancy to transform it into an evil spirit in order to completely destroy it.

Snapped.

Looking at the wicked spirit Mondorie, whose face was twisted with malice, Emerald simply snapped her fingers.

The high-level holy spell, Holy Purification, has no harmful effect on the living and can remove various corruptions and curses, but it's a different story for undead creatures.

The evil spirit Mondoly immediately let out a shriek in the holy light, partly because the holy light caused her pain, and partly because she did not want to die and she wanted to fight desperately.

Holy magic is ultimately something that Emerald can only unleash with the help of her magical armor. In terms of power, it is difficult to suppress a strong opponent of the same level in one blow, even Mondori, who has become an undead creature.

But what if we use Lohid's Replication Technique 50 more times?

Soon, more holy light gathered on the evil spirit Mondorie, making her feel like a small ice cube thrown into boiling water. She didn't even have time to let out a final scream before her spirit was completely annihilated in the holy light.

The vocal cords, the fused organ within the sacred crystal in Amelie's right palm, finally ceased their struggle, indicating that Mondoly was truly dead.

For powerful cultivators in the Fusion stage who are difficult to kill completely, transforming them into undead and then purifying them with holy magic is indeed a good way to completely eliminate them, and Amelie was even more convinced of this.

"...Is it over, Emerald?"

Yulia watched Emerald's every move, but said nothing. She only hugged Emerald's arm after Emerald had put away the sealing crystal.

"When you're done, come home and cook for me~~ I'm starving~~"

"Okay, okay... I'll make sure you're well-fed, you little glutton, when we get back~~"

Emerald also took the opportunity to put her arm around Julia's slender waist, summoned the Dragonbone Fighter again, and got in with Julia in her arms, flying towards Locke City.

Emerald was very satisfied with the results of this battle.

Originally, she just wanted to get rid of Mondoly, this eyesore, let Melson Entertainment completely swallow up the Arts Association, and incidentally help Sulina and her aunt Cynthia get revenge.

Being able to snatch Mondoly's fused vocal cords was a completely unexpected delight.

Emery intended to use this fusion organ to create a magical device for herself.

Perhaps the fear of insufficient firepower from her past life is still not cured, because Emery still feels that she belongs to the control and support role and lacks the ability to deal damage.

While Skywing's 256x Loshid Copy Technique is powerful, the sheer coolness of instantly killing enemies with its ultimate move comes at the cost of recharging Skywing afterward. Furthermore, this type of ultimate move, with its limited uses, makes Emeralt feel quite insecure.

Emery was quite envious of powerful attacks like Mondoly's cluster sonic wave, but fortunately, this move will be hers from now on.

However, the act of stealing other people's organs to create magical artifacts would definitely arouse the fear of many people if exposed, comparable to the evil cultivators in cultivation novels who can absorb other people's cultivation.

Therefore, even after Mondori's fused vocal cords were made into a magical device, it cannot be used lightly. Anyone who has witnessed this move will either become one of their own or die.

. . . . .

Upon returning to Locke City, Emerald first announced that Mondori had been defeated, followed by a grand celebration.

Besides personally preparing many delicious foods to enjoy with everyone, Emerald also wanted to drag Julia, Marcy, Viliana, and Surina into practicing water magic together, and almost coaxed Flora into the room as well.

Actually, Flora had already been carried into the house by Emerald, but the sharp-eyed Julia noticed something was wrong. She angrily rescued Flora from Emerald's arms, rejected Emerald's plan for everyone to practice water magic together, and went off to practice boxing.

Emery knew that Julia was still a little reserved, but she didn't mind.

Sulina was overjoyed to have avenged her great grudge. She was already completely loyal to Emeryte, and now she was even more devoted to her. She was even proud to be Emeryte's chair, and she was very proactive and passionate in the water magic sparring.

Marcy and Viliana knew that Sulina was one of the main characters tonight, so they obediently took the initiative to play a supporting role, joining Sulina in a three-on-one fight against Emeryte.

But Emerald was their master and knew them too well. She easily defeated them all, and they all lost consciousness in a daze.

Technically speaking, Marcy and her teammates are definitely stronger than Yulia, but physically they are far inferior. Yulia can lose more than twenty times in one night, while Marcy and her teammates are basically unable to recover after losing two or three rounds in a row.

So, just as Emerald was about to rest after defeating the three women, Julia sneaked in through the window. Ignoring the fact that Sulina and the other two were lying on the side, she launched another duel against Emerald.

Yulia is definitely a combat genius. She actually managed to use the shockwave punch technique that she had just mastered during the day in the water magic duel at night, catching Emeralt off guard and actually winning a round against her.

At that moment, Yulia was holding Emerald, whose eyes had almost lost focus due to the shockwave attack, and she was laughing very happily.

Then, Emerald, who had recovered, became furious and tied Yulia up with invisible ribbons, hanging her up. She activated [Energy Drain] and [Mana Absorption Rune] at the same time, and like a tentacle monster dealing with a magical girl, she instantly drained Yulia's strength and bullied her mercilessly.

As for Julia... she seemed quite satisfied with winning just one round against Emerald. She didn't think about winning anymore and focused on enjoying her defeat, which allowed Emerald to unlock many more of her new CGs.

. . . . .

After a night of fun and celebration of their victory, Emerald got busy again.

Completely defeating the old hag Mondoly doesn't mean the matter is over; the most important step is yet to come—collecting the spoils.

Emery first pressured the federal court, together with the military, to expedite a ruling on Mondoly's case.

The federal court had been delaying the case for a long time, largely because it was wary of Mondoly, a powerful being in the fusion stage.

The pressure from Miss Melson and the military is immense, but they will at least abide by the rules as long as they don't turn against each other. However, it's hard to say what a powerful cultivator in the Fusion stage might do when cornered. The court officials also care about their own lives, so they can only drag things out and have sent all their beautiful legal assistants to appease a certain young lady.

Now that Mondoly is finally dead, the federal court officials can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

No matter how powerful a person is in life, once they die, they have nothing left. The federal court no longer had to worry about Mondoly's threats and quickly found her guilty on all three counts.

Damaging other people's property.

massacre.

Anti-human.

It goes without saying that destroying other people's property and committing massacres are not uncommon, but Mondoli's actions in Locke City and what she did in Mandora City also count.

The reason for her being considered anti-human is that Mondoli attacked humans alongside the demonic tide during its invasion, and ultimately turned into a monster herself, suggesting that she may have colluded with demons or used some kind of evil cultivation method.

The unorthodox cultivation methods are the reason why Emerald announced to the public that Mondorie would collude with monsters and turn herself into a monster.

Although Mondorie's body and soul were completely annihilated by Emerald, it was still too easy for Suzuran to forge a so-called autopsy report. That report showed that Mondorie had practiced various evil arts in her lifetime, and that she eventually became a monster because the evil arts went out of control.

This kind of thing is not uncommon. Many powerful cultivators who have lived a long time and are in the Fusion stage will try some unorthodox methods because their strength cannot be improved further.

However, some people are able to pull back from the brink and stop in time, while others will completely lose control, ultimately harming themselves and others and becoming isolated from everyone.

Therefore, the so-called investigation results given by Emery are completely logical, and there are many precedents in federal history. The federal court made its judgment based on those precedents.

The Arts Association is completely finished; all the wealth they've accumulated over the years will have to be used to compensate for the losses caused by Mondoly.

As the direct victim of Montoli and the organizer of the campaign against Montoli, Emerald naturally received the largest share of compensation.

The military received a portion of the compensation because they claimed that Mondori damaged a lot of their equipment and injured many mages.

But what use would the military have for a bunch of artistic treasures? Besides, these are things that Miss Melson is clearly determined to have.

So the military leader was clever. He offered to transfer the court-ordered compensation share to Amelie in exchange for purchasing a batch of new equipment from the Melson Magic Workshop at a discounted price. Amelie, of course, readily agreed.

Another portion of the compensation was awarded by the court to the victims of Mandora.

Although all the residents of Mandora City had perished, the federal government certainly had to make a gesture of support for such a massive disaster. This gesture was achieved through compensation from the Arts Association, with anyone willing to take on the cleanup work in Mandora City receiving a share of the compensation.

Undoubtedly, the task of cleaning up the ruins of Mandora was also taken over by Amelie. She stated that she would first clear the ruins of Mandora, and then build a large cemetery and a monument to commemorate the dead and to remind people of this disaster.

Obtaining the last share of compensation from the Art Association was secondary; even without it, Emerald would still find a way to handle the aftermath in Mandora City, because it was the core of Mondori's large-scale ritual array that could absorb faith energy.

Although Mandora City was completely destroyed in the fierce battles of the fusion period, such ritual formations must have left some traces, which would be of great reference value to the Emerald technical team, who were also developing the wish magic system.

The experience of others can be used to improve oneself. After all, the old witch Mondolly had been researching and using faith energy for hundreds of years. Although she ultimately failed, her experience must have some merit.

Perhaps it could lead to a major upgrade to the prayer magic system specially assigned to Yulia, or perhaps it could allow Sulina to quickly improve her strength by referring to Mondoli's method. The expected benefits are very high.

At this point, Emerald had secured the entire compensation share from the Art Association, while given the casualties and damage caused by Mondori, the Art Association would undoubtedly have to pay its entire share.

So immediately after the court ruling, Emery announced that Melson Entertainment would take full control of the Arts Association and carry out a comprehensive overhaul of the Arts Association.

Chapter 226 Roll them all up for me

Myson Entertainment is taking over the Arts Association in full, but most of the artists signed with the Arts Association are actually indifferent to this.

In their view, it was just a change of boss; working for someone else was the same as working for someone else, and working for Miss Melson might even earn them more than before.

But the core members of the art association and those in charge of administration refused to comply. They were all die-hard fans of Mondori and did not even believe that Mondori was dead. They believed that the monsters of Mandora City had nothing to do with Mondori and that the great president would lead them to rebuild their glory sooner or later.

Emery showed no mercy to these people; her method of dealing with them was summed up in one word—kill!

Whether it was her gaming experience in her past life or her actual contact with the organization in this life, Emerald loathed the Art Association and had long wanted to wipe it out.

Of course, directly launching an attack would definitely affect Amelie's current image as a saint in the public's mind, so some underhanded tactics must be used first.

This was easy for Emerald. She went to the Art Association headquarters herself, used clever words to provoke a core member of the Art Association into attacking her, and then easily killed the unfortunate guy.

Although Emerald primarily uses holy magic in public, her true forte is necromancy, and she has also received a true teaching from Granny Ya, mastering the magical modification of flesh and bone.

When Emery killed that unfortunate guy in self-defense, she subtly used her flesh-transformation technique to turn him into a monster, and he even looked very similar to Mondoli when he turned into a monster.

This caused a huge uproar.

The president of the art association practiced evil magic and turned herself into a monster, and now her loyal followers have also turned into monsters? What about the other core members? Could they all be practitioners of evil magic?

The answer is yes, at least Amelie made it a yes.

She sent the unfortunate man's body, which had been turned into a monster, for testing. The test report showed that the unfortunate man had indeed been turned into a monster due to evil magic.

So the rest was simple. Emery insisted that all the core members of the Art Association had followed Mondoly in practicing evil magic and were no longer human. Only in this way could their fanatical loyalty to Mondoly be explained.

Just as fighting demons in martial arts novels doesn't require adherence to chivalrous codes, dealing with those who practice evil arts and abandon their humanity also doesn't require consideration of martial ethics or the law. Federal laws only protect lawful citizens of the Federation; those who practice evil arts and transform themselves into monsters are not protected by law.

Therefore, the actions of the core members of the art association in defending the association's headquarters suddenly transformed from a civil dispute into an incident similar to a monster encroaching on private property, and everyone has the right to annihilate the monster that encroached on their private property.

Emery didn't hold back any longer. She took out her Melson Ring and dispatched 12 M-class squads and 1 S-class ace mercenary from Melson Security Company to launch a strong attack on the Art Association headquarters.

In the Allen Federation, apart from the Lohid family, no force can rival the Melson family in terms of military strength. Even the federal government cannot, let alone the Art Association, whose core members are no match for multiple M-class squads.

In the final moments, these core members were also determined to burn all the wealth and valuable artworks collected by the art association over the years, leaving nothing for Emerald.

Unfortunately, Emerald had anticipated this, and the S-rank ace mercenary with the strength of a Fusion-stage mage had come precisely for this purpose. The special ability of the fusion organ, which could protect the target item from any damage for a certain period, effectively safeguarded Emerald's wealth.

Although the Art Association spent a great deal of money on Mondoly's training, it had, after all, monopolized the art industry in the Allen Federation for centuries. In particular, the vast majority of revenue from various industries related to music and fine arts ultimately went to the Art Association.

This makes the art association actually very wealthy. Not counting the mountains of expensive artworks piled up in the underground warehouse of its headquarters, the working capital and real estate alone are enough for Emerald to pay off the money she owes to the Ise Group, with interest.

If all those artworks were cashed out, the wealth would increase at least tenfold.

In short, this one wave alone recouped all of Emerald's investments and expenses, and even allowed Merson Entertainment to truly sit at the same table as Merson Security and Merson Magic Workshop, becoming one of the three largest businesses of the Merson family.

Of course, Meyson Entertainment remains the weakest of Meyson's three major businesses; after all, no matter how much money you make in the arts, it can't compare to selling arms.

After taking complete control of the art association, Emerald naturally also took over the contracts that the artists had essentially sold themselves into.

She quickly ordered all artists in the Federation to report to Sphinx, as she intended to overhaul the Federation's arts industry.

The artists who received the order naturally dared not disobey, but many were also worried, especially the female artists who considered themselves to be good-looking and have good figures.

After all, although Emery has been trying to cultivate her saintly image, her reputation in her private life has never been very good.

Many female artists, especially the beautiful and alluring dancers, were worried that they would be locked up and treated like playthings by the rich girls after their trip to Sphinx. Some of the married female dancers even tearfully bid farewell to their children and husbands, preparing themselves to be exploited.

But some dancers were secretly encouraging themselves. They were all very ambitious and thought that if Sulina could soar to great heights by clinging to Amelie's leg, then there was no reason why they couldn't—they were all dancers who had been defeated and reduced to playthings of young ladies, so who could be much worse than whom?

And so, with different people harboring different thoughts, artists from all over the Allen Federation quickly gathered in Sphingard. There were quite a few of them, nearly 8000 people, of whom more than 5000 were singers and dancers who performed in theaters, taverns, brothels, and other similar places. They were almost all young and beautiful women.

After Emery took over the headquarters of the Arts Association, she immediately moved the headquarters of Melson Entertainment from Melson Tower. Now, all the signs related to the Arts Association have been cleared away, and the only sign that can be seen everywhere is a large "M".

As a large organization that has been operating successfully for hundreds of years, the Art Society's headquarters in Sphingard is quite large. It covers an area of ​​approximately 16 square kilometers, with many buildings within the area and underground spaces of equal or even larger size.

Nearly 8000 artists came here and were easily accommodated. Most even had their own rooms, and of course, those who were close friends could stay together.

After a day of anxious waiting, the artists finally received the first thing Amelie did for them—something that surprised and bewildered them.

Emery terminated the contracts these artists had signed with the art association.

Amelie has always disliked the Art Association, but the Art Association and its contracted artists are two different things.

Most of the contracted artists are actually victims of exploitation and oppression by the Art Association, and those artists who chose to collude with the Art Association were basically killed by Emerald in the Meishen incident.

The vast majority of the remaining signed artists were actually there out of necessity and under duress.

Because Mondoly's original intention in establishing the art association was never to develop art or to monopolize art for profit, but to ensure that she herself could become a goddess of song and dance.
