The villain daughter did all kinds of things

"Several skeletal vultures have broken through our defenses from high above and entered the city! It is suspected that they may indiscriminately attack humans in retaliation for destroying their nests. Everyone, prepare for air defense!"

"I see them! I can fly too! Let me fly!"

After Judy's voice rang out, Yulia looked up at the high school and easily locked onto the enemy with her enhanced vision. She then shouted into the communication channel and charged forward.

Those were seven flying monsters, the very bone vultures Judy had mentioned, bird-like undead whose entire bodies were just bones, with wingspans of about 5 meters.

The bones of six of the white-boned vultures were the color of ordinary white bones, but the bones of the leader were covered with a metallic sheen, indicating that it was a higher-level evolved individual.

As Yulia launched her charge, the Bone Vultures also spotted her, and six Bone Vultures, in addition to the Metal Bone Vulture, swooped down to attack her.

The two sides clashed in mid-air. The skeletal vulture attacked Yulia's entire body simultaneously with its sharp bone claws and beak, while Yulia locked onto only one skeletal vulture and reached out to grab it.

The magical artifact cloak activated its automatic defense function, blocking all of the white bone vulture's attacks without sustaining any damage.

The white eagle that was targeted by Yulia tried several different moves but failed to dodge, and was eventually caught by Yulia's wing.

Then, Yulia tore the bone vulture in half with both hands, without encountering any significant resistance... Her enhanced physical strength had already overwhelmed the bone vulture's physical endurance.

They are no match for me! I will win!

Yulia was overjoyed at her successful attack and charged at the Bone Vulture once again.

Chapter 49 Emerald's Series of Schemes (Part 20)

Yulia's judgment was correct; ordinary skeletal vultures were no match for her.

Bone claws and sharp beaks couldn't break through the automatic defense of the magical artifact cloak, but the skeletal bird body couldn't withstand Yulia's brute strength.

Tearing it apart with both hands, smashing it with a punch, kicking it away with a foot.

After only a few rounds, only 4 of the 6 ordinary white-boned vultures remained.

The lead metal bone vulture let out a sharp cry, and the remaining two white bone vultures began to retreat, trying to escape Yulia's attack range.

Yulia was not about to let them go so easily. She swung her fist and tried to chase after them, but was hit by a purple light emitted by the metal bone vulture.

The purple light didn't cause any direct harm to Yulia, but it made her feel like her body suddenly became many times heavier. This was a gravity-based control spell.

Yulia suddenly seemed to transform from a fish in water into someone who couldn't swim, flailing her arms and legs wildly and making several comical movements in the air, but unable to move forward.

The metal bone vulture certainly wouldn't let such a good opportunity to pursue pass by. With a flap of its wings, it conjured dozens of feather-shaped metal pieces out of thin air, which rained down on Yulia.

Yulia realized that this metal bone eagle was no ordinary creature; it was likely a monster that only a master-level mage could deal with. So she decisively abandoned her attack and focused all her energy on defense.

She wasn't afraid of losing face, so she hugged her knees and curled up, then wrapped herself up like a ball with her magic cloak, imitating a hedgehog.

The magical artifacts left behind by top-tier Fusion stage experts are reliable. The cloak sparked multiple times during the attacks from the metal plates, but remained completely undamaged.

Annoyed by this, the metal eagle let out another shriek and attacked personally, its two gleaming metal claws slashing down at Yulia, intending to tear her apart.

Meanwhile, Yulia was still under the control of gravity-based magic and unable to move. She could only rely on the defensive power of her magical artifact cloak to withstand the attacks, but it was uncertain whether she could defend against them this time.

boom!

At the critical moment, a fireball shot from the side, hitting the metal bone vulture squarely. Although it didn't kill it in one shot, it blasted it away.

"Don't move, I'll help you dispel the magical effects on your body."

Then a middle-aged woman's voice rang out, and a blue-green magical light flashed by. Yulia felt her body lighten again.

She then crawled out of the cloth ball and looked outside, only to see that it was Balk leading the mercenary squad from Melson Security.

M19小队一共有6个人，年轻基本都在40岁上下，4男2女。

They flew through the air on surfboard-like magical devices, wearing multi-functional combat suits like Balk's, and equipped with a total of more than ten different magical devices.

The team members were all at the master level, and they were fully equipped and coordinated perfectly. Each member had their own role in offense, defense, support, healing, weakening, and control. In less than 20 seconds, they destroyed the metal bone eagle that had almost made Yulia unlock the defeat animation.

“You are a brave girl, Miss Julia.”

After defeating the Metal Bone Vulture, Balk approached Yulia and patted her on the shoulder:

"But next time you encounter a monster like this, it's best to wait for us to come. It's not something you can handle right now."

Without waiting for Yulia's reply, the entire M19 squad flew off in another direction.

A powerful monster appeared over there, a giant centipede over ten meters long. It suddenly emerged from underground, destroying a house and killing or injuring nearly 20 people. Ordinary federal soldiers and police officers had difficulty dealing with it; only the M19 squad could handle it.

Watching the M19 squad disappear into the distance, Yulia pouted, somewhat unconvinced.

Yulia had been watching the entire battle where the M19 squad besieged the Metal Bone Vulture.

She felt that the individual strength of the M19 squad members was not much stronger than hers, and the reason why they performed so much better than her was not only because of their combat experience, but also because of their magical artifacts.

"If I had as many of the most advanced magical artifacts... no, even if I only had one more magical artifact that could dispel negative status effects, I think I could win!"

While muttering to herself, Yulia couldn't help but sigh inwardly that it was great to be a mage with a big company as your backer before flying back to her original position to continue her duties as a sentinel.

. . . . .

Meanwhile, en route to the location of the giant centipede, Balk used a communication magic device to connect to Emerald's personal channel:

“We have completed what you asked us to do, Miss.”

"...Oh? How was the result?"

Emery was probably busy too, as she remained silent for two seconds before responding.

"It should work quite well."

Balk recalled:

"As you instructed, we deliberately let a wave of monsters of varying strength slip through her fingers, and then attacked when she had eliminated the weaker monsters but was being suppressed by the stronger ones. We eliminated the monsters as quickly as possible, and made extensive use of magical artifacts during the battle. Finally, we must mention that her current strength is insufficient."

"Just as you predicted, the little girl doesn't seem very convinced. She's staring at all the magical artifacts on us with envy... Is that alright now, young lady?"

“Well done, truly worthy of Mr. Balk, Father’s most trusted elite.”

Emery didn't hold back her praise:

"Now focus on the battle. If something happens to Yulia, just be a little slower when you're rescuing her."

"Yes, Miss!"

. . . . .

Yulia was completely unaware that everything she experienced and even her thoughts were part of Emerald's scheme. She returned to her post as a sentinel, constantly using a megaphone to tell the civilians how to take refuge, while simultaneously using a detector to search for the lurking monsters.

However, as Judy said before, the federal army and police have all sorts of problems. Many of them are greedy, lustful, and collude with gangs, but they will still fight bravely when facing foreign enemies, and their combat skills are quite professional.

Thanks to the combined efforts of Judy's soldiers and the local police of Locke City, the monsters that entered Locke City were almost always discovered or even eliminated as soon as they showed themselves.

Julia flew around the inner city several times with the detector given to her by Emerald, but did not find a single monster that had lurked in, which made her feel a little itchy to fight.

Fortunately, Yulia was determined and did not abandon her post, always sticking to her post, no matter how much she longed to fight the monsters again.

As if hearing Julia's thoughts, Ameliete was about to grant her wish.

Unlike other capitalists who hid in safe houses during the demonic tide, Emeryte was wandering alone outside Locke City, surrounded by the corpses of demons.

"This won't do...this one isn't quite right either...that one seems a bit too strong...um, it seems quite difficult to choose?"

Chapter 50 Emerald's Series of Schemes (Part 21)

Emerald strolled through the scattered monsters as if she were browsing clothes in a shopping mall.

After reviewing each unsatisfactory monster, that monster would be strangled by the invisible ribbon, without any power to resist.

This wasn't because Emery was acting impulsively and wanted to personally defend the city. In fact, even if Locke City were overrun by monsters and most of its population died, it wouldn't matter to her. When have gamers ever cared how many nameless NPCs died in a battle?

In Locke City, the only two people Emily truly cares about are Julia and Marcy. Julia is the core of her entrepreneurial plan, while Marcy's Flame of Life can aid her in her cultivation.

Now, Emerald has come alone to hunt monsters in order to complete the further modification of Yulia according to plan.

During this period, Yulia received payments from wealthy people on several occasions, which allowed her to accumulate some savings and experience the joys of being rich.

So it's time to make Yulia destitute and even heavily indebted once again.

This demonic invasion presents a good opportunity. Emerald plans to select a suitable demon and send it into the city to fight Yulia, and to let the aftershocks of the battle cause as much damage as possible.

In this way, Yulia would face huge compensation after the war, and Emerald would have a lot of room to manipulate her to turn Yulia into her official employee.

"Hmm, this one seems promising. Its strength is similar to Yulia's, but its special ability can give her a lot of trouble. She won't lose, but she definitely won't win easily either."

Finally, Emerald found a suitable target.

It was a wild boar about the size of a truck, except that its skin was a ghastly white, and it would occasionally enter a phantom form for about 2 seconds while running.

The invisible ribbon immediately wrapped around the wild boar, binding it tightly and hanging it up amidst its panicked cries.

The boar hurriedly activated its innate ability to try to escape by turning into a phantom, but Emeryte's purification spell, activated through a small round mirror magic device, was even faster, instantly turning the boar back into a solid form from its phantom state.

Then the invisible ribbon started spinning in place like a slingshot, and after charging up for a few more rotations, it hurled the wild boar towards Locke City, its target being Yulia's location.

Federal soldiers and police on the outskirts of the city spotted the approaching wild boar immediately and quickly took out their anti-aircraft magic devices to open fire and intercept it, but suddenly received an order from Judy.

Puzzled, the soldiers and police chose to obey orders, with only a few symbolically firing their magical devices to intercept a few shots before letting the wild boar fly into the inner city.

"Ah da!"

Yulia had, of course, spotted the flying wild boar long ago. She certainly wouldn't stand idly by and watch it crash into houses, causing death and injury. Without a second thought, she rushed forward and kicked the boar in the head.

The giant boar was a monster carefully selected by Emerald. It wasn't light, but it was just within the range that Julia could stop even with all her strength.

At the cost of being knocked into the air and tumbling more than ten times, the wild boar was successfully intercepted by Yulia on a relatively wide street without sustaining any damage.

However, the battle had only just begun. Being thrown so far and kicked would have been fatal to other monsters, but the thick-skinned wild boar was only slightly injured.

Not only that, the wild boar was clearly enraged by this inexplicable encounter. After landing, it didn't even glance at Yulia, pawed at the ground twice with its hind hooves, and charged towards the nearest four-story house, intending to wreak havoc.

"Don't even think about it!"

Yulia swooped down from the sky like a cannonball, in a classic Superman flying pose, wanting to deliver another hard punch to Pighead.

Unexpectedly, the moment the fist made contact with the pig's head, the wild boar turned into a phantom. Yulia passed right through its body, punched the ground, creating a large crater, and buried herself in the ground, with only her two legs, clad in white stockings and boots, sticking out.

The boar then reverted to its physical form, and with a thick leg, delivered a powerful back kick to the still somewhat dazed Yulia, sending her flying.

The kick was incredibly powerful, and Yulia, who was sent flying, had a hard time regaining her balance. It wasn't until her body crashed through the wall of a house and landed in the bedroom of a young girl, startling the girl who was hiding under the covers, that she finally exhausted her kinetic energy.

"It's alright, I can handle that monster."

After shaking her slightly dizzy head, Yulia immediately got up, gave the girl a few words of comfort and told her to go find her parents and hide, and then flew towards the wild boar again.

Because of the mistake in the first round of attack, the wild boar's charge was not stopped, and the house it charged into was reduced to ruins.

Fortunately, the house seemed to have been rented out to run a company, and there was no one inside at the moment, but various valuables were broken all over the place.

Facing the giant boar again, Yulia, having learned her lesson, finally regained her senses. Instead of recklessly charging in, she used the communication magic device to ask a question:

"Major Judy, what kind of monster is this big wild boar? What are its abilities?"

"It's called the Ghost Pig, also known as the Phantom Pig."

Judy's emotionless voice quickly responded:

"This kind of monster's common fighting style is not much different from that of an ordinary wild boar, except that it has a special ability that is rather troublesome, which is the one you just encountered."

"It can enter a phantom state for a certain period of time, which is where its name comes from. In the phantom state, the Ghost Pig is immune to physical interference, but some magic can still be effective against it."

"Holy and Dark magic are most effective against phantom forms, and can easily kill the Ghost Pig while it is in its phantom form. Necromantic magic is the next best, and the simplest way is to use dispel spells to make it revert to its physical form."

"...What if I don't know any of those spells? How am I supposed to fight?"

Yulia paused for half a second, blushing slightly, but still asked the question directly.

"Then observe carefully."

Judy didn't mock Julia; instead, she offered her advice in a detached, emotionless voice:

"The Ghost Pig cannot maintain its phantom state for long, at most a few seconds. There is also a minimum time interval between two instances of it entering the phantom state, which varies from individual to individual."

“Observe carefully, find these two numbers, and then take advantage of the opportunity when the Shadow Pig cannot enter the phantom state to kill it with pure physical attacks.”

"Understood, thank you, Major Judy."

After Yulia sincerely thanked them, her mind raced, and she quickly came up with a solution.

She scanned her surroundings and immediately locked onto a magic-powered vehicle parked by the roadside. She flew over, grabbed it with one hand, and hurled it at the Ghost Pig like a stone.

Chapter 51 Emerald's Series of Schemes (Twenty-Two)

The magic-powered vehicle hurtled towards the Ghost Pig with a whooshing sound.

When the two are evenly matched, neither side will easily attempt to withstand a full-force attack from the other, and the Ghost Pig is no exception.

It activated its innate ability again, its body entering a phantom state, allowing the magic-powered vehicle to pass directly through its body and crash into a residential building.
