"Alright, then I'll leave Viliana in your care, Julia. Please make sure you stop her. Locke City depends on you to save it!"

Emerald, like an NPC giving a quest to the protagonist, smiled and offered her blessings:

"I've given you all the equipment and training you needed, and now all I can do is wish you good luck in your battles... Go for it, Yulia, charge!"

"Heroes never lose!"

Emerald's words fueled Julia's fighting spirit, and unconsciously, her flight speed surpassed her usual limit, covering distances of tens of kilometers in the blink of an eye.

The source of the seawater backflow was not hard to find. Yulia, whose vision was enhanced to be even stronger than Eagle Eye, discovered the problem with just a quick scan of the coastline.

The coastline seemed normal, but a certain relatively flat rocky area always looked different from the surrounding area.

The sound of the airflow blowing over the rocks was a little off, and the spray from the waves hitting the rocks was also a little off.

More importantly, Yulia happened to see a rather plump seabird that mysteriously disappeared after flying over that area, only to miraculously reappear at the other end a few seconds later.

"It's a disguise magic! The true appearance of that area has been hidden by magic!"

Yulia made a judgment immediately, and before she could even think of which magical device to use and which magic to use to solve the problem, her body started moving on its own.

Completely unconsciously, Yulia pulled out a Rubik's Cube-shaped magical device, quickly rubbed her hands together to fix the colors of the cube into a certain combination, then activated it and threw it at the area where there was magical disguise.

brush!

Before the Rubik's Cube-shaped magical device could take effect, a sharp wind blade shot out from the disguised area, slicing it in two.

Chapter 84: The Results of Special Training

"I knew it was you, you wicked little devil!"

Although the Rubik's Cube-shaped magical device was destroyed, its mission was accomplished. The wind blade undoubtedly proved that Yulia had not gone to the wrong place. She cried out twice in the sky and then swooped down towards the source of the wind blade.

"...I never thought you'd actually find it, you silly goose."

Viliana's voice came from within the disguise magic, sounding somewhat unexpected:

"However, you foolish, defeated opponent, you think you can stop me? Wishful thinking!"

More wind blades erupted, completely tearing apart the false scene constructed by the disguise magic, and then slashed at Yulia's neck, waist, and limbs, trying to cut her into pieces.

"Hey!"

Undeterred, Yulia shouted and charged forward.

Her body cells, fully enhanced by magic, rapidly became active under instinct, causing Yulia's entire body to feel slightly warm and full of power. A little white smoke even came out of her ears and nostrils, like a radiator.

The first wind blade collided head-on with Yulia's fist, but it was like throwing an egg against a rock, shattering into countless wisps of wind that disappeared into the air.

"...To be able to shatter magic with your bare hands, you really are a barbarian woman!"

Viliana's eyes widened slightly, but her fingers deftly shifted, manipulating the wind blades that were originally attacking Yulia from the front to attack from behind and the sides:

"But I don't believe every part of your body is as hard as your fist!"

"Hey Hey!"

Yulia's body is not as strong as a fist; many parts of her body are still quite flexible.

But the fist is also the most flexible part of a person's body. Yulia swung her fists continuously and easily shattered the other three wind blades.

However, even more wind blades were attacking Yulia at the same time. With only two fists, Yulia couldn't possibly deal with them all, so she had to use her legs as well to kick the wind blades.

Her long legs, encased in white stockings and knee-high boots, looked slender and delicate, but were actually quite powerful. While not as strong as her fists, they were enough to kick away any incoming wind blades.

There were no sophisticated fighting techniques involved; it was all instinctive punching and kicking. However, the effect was quite good, shattering or kicking away most of the wind blades.

Even the few wind blades that Yulia couldn't deal with on her own were mitigated by her magical cloak, which provided automatic defense.

This initial piece of equipment, which accompanied Yulia all the way to the end in the original game, has unexpectedly superior performance. Not only is it very strong defensively, able to block Viliana's wind blade attacks, but it also has a certain degree of intelligent judgment ability, automatically defending only against attacks that Yulia cannot withstand on her own, without wasting a single bit of power.

"cut."

Viliana simply clicked her tongue in surprise.

Although her previous encounter with Yulia was brief, she had already deeply felt how strong Yulia's physical abilities were, and she didn't expect to win with just wind blades.

The wind blade was just something I threw out to buy time.

Viliana quickly conjured a windball about two meters in diameter and hurled it towards Yulia. This windball was clearly being controlled mentally in real time by Viliana; not only was its trajectory highly agile, but it could also track its target, making it impossible for Yulia to shake it off.

This magic was also familiar to Yulia.

The Wind Prison spell was the same magic that Viliana used to instantly kill Julia last time.

It's unlikely that the same spell could kill the same person twice in a row, but Viliana thinks Yulia is a bit naive, so maybe she could give it a try.

Anyway, Wind Prison is a low-cost spell for Viliana; if it fails, she won't lose anything, and if it succeeds, she'll make a huge profit.

Seeing this skill that had once caused her to suffer a setback again, a rare hint of anger rose in Yulia's emerald eyes.

She neither dodged nor activated her magical artifact to break free; instead, she plunged headlong into the trap as if walking into a snare, and was once again trapped by the Wind Prison Spell.

Of course, they weren't actually trapped.

"Don't underestimate me! I just don't react as fast as my body, I'm not some idiot who can be defeated twice by the same trick!"

Amidst the shout, an orange gem on Yulia's black long gloves suddenly lit up, activating a certain ability of her magical costume.

Then Yulia's hands suddenly became somewhat ethereal, as if they had turned into air currents.

With a casual grab of her hands, she captured the invisible wind and pulled it forcefully in the opposite direction.

Hiss.

It was just airflow, yet it made a sound like fabric being torn apart. The entire spherical wind prison was ripped apart by Yulia with her bare hands and tossed aside like trash.

"Humph!"

Just as Yulia was about to mock Viliana with a smug look on her face, she saw a mocking expression appear on Viliana's face first.

...Were we tricked?

Just as Yulia realized this, she found that she could no longer move her limbs. The broken air currents had not disappeared, but had turned back into chains, binding her in the air in a spread-eagle position.

"A simpleton is a simpleton!"

Viliana then joined her five fingers together to reinforce the wind chains, while simultaneously generating more chains to wrap around Yulia's body.

Yulia herself cannot fly; her ability to fly comes from the magical artifact cloak. Now that she is suddenly bound like this, she has lost her point of leverage and feels like she has all her strength but can't use it.

The wind chains are not only increasing in number and tightening, but also several powerful-looking wind spears are gathering strength behind Viliana, ready to deliver a fatal blow.

"……hateful."

Yulia gritted her teeth reluctantly, but instead of panicking, she chose to clear her mind.

When Yulia's brain temporarily stopped thinking, her body, which had undergone intensive training, automatically developed a conditioned reflex and chose the most appropriate coping method.

A purple gem on her belt flashed a few times, and another ability of the magical costume was activated, causing Yulia's body to become illusory for a moment.

A phantom form.

It was the Ghost Pig's innate ability that had caused Yulia trouble before, and now this ability has been turned into a magical artifact by Emerald and become one of Yulia's abilities.

The chains of wind could bind the hot, physical body of a beautiful girl, but they were powerless against a phantom that had no physical volume. Yulia easily escaped and charged straight at Viliana.

"...Tsk."

Feeling that her efforts had been in vain, Viliana pouted and could only unleash all five wind spears, which were not yet fully charged, in an attempt to block Yulia's attack.

But this time, Viliana miscalculated.

Flames suddenly erupted from the bottom of Yulia's boots, giving her a second burst of speed in the air. Before the wind spear could be fully launched, she rushed in front of Viliana.

Chapter 85 I, Yulia, did not use any cheat codes!

Viliana was surprised again, but she didn't panic.

You don't think that just because you're physically strong, you can definitely crush me in close combat, do you?

As a member of the Elf Royal Guard, combat magic is also a required course!

Viliana cursed inwardly, her wind spear rapidly changing shape, transforming into two rapidly spinning whirls that met Yulia's fist head-on.

"Break all the bones in my body!"

Snapped!Snapped!

With two crisp sounds, Viliana caught Julia's fists with both hands.

It's not difficult, since Yulia doesn't use any special techniques, just straight punches. As long as you can keep up with the speed, you can try to block, but whether you can block it or not is another matter.

Viliana felt a numbness in her arms, as if they were about to retract into her body, and she couldn't help but take several steps back.

But the two whirlwinds in her hands also began to exert their power, directly transforming into tornadoes that enveloped Yulia, intending to tear Yulia's body apart.

Yulia did indeed show a pained expression for a moment, her arm twisted like a pretzel under the powerful force of the tornado, and her bones made a sound of being unable to bear the weight.

But this was only for a moment. As Yulia was enveloped by the tornado at point-blank range, a gem of a different color lit up on the back of her magical gauntlet. The gem emitted an icy blue light, freezing Viliana's tornado directly before shattering it.

"Varied……"

Viliana was stunned, but she didn't have time to be surprised, because her current position with Julia was quite bad—she had Julia's fists in her hands, her sure-fire magic had been broken, and she was now wide open and defenseless.

Yulia, without even thinking, made the best decision with her body—her knee slammed into Viliana's abdomen once again.

"Again?"

Viliana was terrified. She only had time to cast a basic magic shield before Yulia slammed her knee into her abdomen again.

"Well!"

The most ordinary magic shield certainly couldn't withstand Yulia's brute force attack. Viliana's eyes glazed over as she flew backward, her entire abdomen almost losing sensation—a familiar, sharp pain mixed with a tingling numbness.

...So it turns out that the weakling who gets defeated by the same moves is myself.

While inwardly cursing, Viliana's humiliation turned into anger, and she unleashed a continuous barrage of wind elemental magic against Julia.

Yulia's behavior was strange.

Every spell Viliana cast hit its mark, dealing damage or applying a control effect to Yulia immediately.

But that was only the first time.

Yulia seems to have developed a kind of conditioned reflex. Just like a dog that often eats when it hears a bell, Yulia can always make the right response immediately after being attacked by magic, minimizing the impact.

That magical armor was incredibly versatile; no matter what magic Viriana used, it couldn't do much damage to Yulia. At most, it would just make her sway in the air and lose her balance.

"...What a cheater."

Emerald, who was also watching the live broadcast through that magical costume, couldn't help but sigh.

This was actually the purpose of the high-intensity training she arranged for Yulia a few days ago: to activate another ability in Yulia that could be considered a cheat code.

This ability also exists in the original game, and it's a reward for a hidden achievement.

Simply put, if a player in the original game takes the same action in the same situation more than 100 times, the action will be recorded by the system. The next time the same situation is encountered, the corresponding action will be triggered directly without the player having to do anything, thus reducing the difficulty of operation.

For example, when the player-controlled Yulia is paralyzed by a paralysis attack, she usually recovers by using the [Paralysis Removal Potion] from the quick access bar. After this action is accumulated 100 times, whenever the player enters a paralyzed state again, a [Paralysis Removal Potion] will be automatically used if the player has one, saving the player the trouble of making any actions.

Even more impressive is that once you obtain the reward for this hidden achievement, the [Paralysis Relief Potion] will still work even if it's not set in the quick access bar but only in your inventory. This not only saves players time and effort but also allows them to set up new items in the quick access bar to handle more situations.

Therefore, on the game forums of Amelie's previous life on Earth, many hardcore gamers posted screenshots later on showing that they had unlocked all the thousands of solutions for Yulia's hidden achievement, so that Yulia could be fearless in any situation as long as her inventory was full of items.

There is certainly no hidden achievement system in the real world, but Amelie thinks it's not impossible to give Julia a similar ability.

The solution she came up with was conditioned reflex.

Since Yulia's mind often goes offline when she enters battle mode, let Yulia's body memorize those countermeasures.

During the intense training a few days ago, Emery compiled a list of Viliana's commonly used spells and tactics based on her memory of the original game. She then had the M22 squad use various magical artifacts to simulate Viliana's fighting style and give Yulia a good beating.

At first, Yulia couldn't fight back. She could only use the strategies taught by Amelie to deal with the magic after being hit... She was hit again and again, and dealt with it again and again, until her body memorized the process and formed a conditioned reflex.

As a result, Yulia actually mastered this outrageous ability, which was similar to a hidden achievement reward in the original game.

Although Yulia's body has only memorized less than 10 countermeasures so far, these countermeasures are all against Viliana's common fighting style, and the effect is still very good.

As a member of the Elven Royal Guard, Viliana possesses high combat skills.

She was initially stunned by Yulia's attack, not only was she hit hard in the stomach again by a knee, but she also took an uppercut to the chin, and now she can't even speak properly.

But she finally saw the clues and the problem.

"You know my preferred fighting style, and you've undergone intensive training specifically for it?"

Viliana exclaimed in surprise, then frowned and remained silent.
