Who betrayed them? Was it Marcy? Probably not.
Although Marcy knew about his plan, she had never seen him fight, so it was impossible for her to know his fighting style so well.
More importantly, as I said before, if Marcy wanted to sabotage me, she could have easily chosen not to save me in the first place, and I would most likely be finished already. There was really no need for her to pull this stunt.
But if Marcy hadn't betrayed her, things would have been a bit scary.
Viliana took a deep breath, her face showing worry.
Has the human intelligence network already managed to infiltrate even the Elven Royal Guard?
Chapter 86: The Ideological Correction Fist!
One of the biggest advantages of elven mages compared to human mages is their vast arsenal of spells, often numbering in the thousands, which can handle any situation.
However, this vast repertoire of spells is often only theoretical. For example, in a certain comic on Earth, there is a ninja who claims to know a thousand ninjutsu, but he actually uses less than 10 of them regularly.
Viliana is the same; she has indeed learned thousands of spells and can use them all, but she is truly most proficient in wind elemental magic. She can cast them silently, instantly, and even change their form halfway through casting, creating all sorts of variations.
He clearly doesn't have that level of proficiency with other spells.
Viliana, realizing that Yulia had given her special training, tried to abandon her best spells and use other spells to win, but this only hastened her defeat.
Yulia's current fighting style is quite simple and brutal, which can be summed up in one word: charge, relying entirely on strength and speed.
There are indeed many strategies to deal with this kind of attack, but there is a prerequisite: you must also have a certain level of strength and speed. If you don't meet the minimum requirements, no matter how many skills and strategies you have, you will only be crushed.
Viliana is in this situation now. When using her most proficient wind magic, she can easily keep up with Yulia's fighting rhythm and even change her moves at will during the battle.
But other spells don't work. What's worse, she also has conditioned reflexes. Often, she only realizes halfway through casting a spell that the spell she's about to use has been specifically trained by Julia, so she has to switch to other uncommon spells.
This forces Viliana to constantly strategize her next spell during battle, and strategizing takes time. Having already fallen behind Yulia in speed by abandoning her most proficient spells, spending more time strategizing will only make Viliana fall further behind in the pace of the battle.
In the end, after dozens of rounds of back and forth, although Julia had many burn marks and frostbite marks on her body, and even her white stockings had many holes, she successfully grabbed Viliana by the neck and lifted her up, winning the final victory.
A simple grab on the neck certainly wouldn't be enough to completely control an elven mage, but Julia's long gloves were also part of her magical attire, a magical artifact custom-made for her by Emeryte.
This is a high-end magic device capable of recording five spells. In addition to the two spells used when tearing apart the wind prison and freezing the tornado, the third spell to be cast now is a control spell that can disrupt the flow of magic power within the target's body through direct contact, preventing the target from casting spells.
Aside from fusion-stage mages with magical organs and grand mages capable of soul-casting spells, most mages and magicians are doomed if they are caught by this move.
At least the elven mage will definitely lose the ability to resist, while the human mage has a small chance of using magical artifacts to fight back.
Now Viliana is doing the same thing. After failing to cast spells several times, she simply closed her eyes and kicked her legs:
"Gu, kill me."
"Don't think you can die so easily!"
Yulia grabbed Viliana and shook her in dissatisfaction, then pointed to the magic circle that Viliana had previously hidden with disguise magic not far away:
"The flooding at Vinylon Copper's mines—was this the culprit? If you don't want to suffer, shut it down right now! Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless and giving you a good beating!"
"Then you might as well just beat me up. Turning off the magic circle is out of the question!"
Viliana's face was full of disdain; even though she had already lost, she still held her head high with arrogance.
"Even if one of me dies, countless others will continue the fight! You humans are only fit to be slaves to our noble elves! Sooner or later, we will destroy the Federation and reclaim our ancient glory! Let's start by letting the city you guard be submerged by the sea, hahahaha..."
"You...you evil extremist sprite! Evil!"
Yulia wasn't good at swearing, and her face turned red with anger.
"The Federal Army didn't beat you enough back then! They should have arrested all of you stubborn and conservative bastards and sold you for money! Even evil capitalists are kinder than you!"
"Ha~~"
Viliana scoffed and turned her head away, making it clear that she would never surrender.
"Quickly turn off the magic circle!"
Julia grabbed Viliana by the neck and stomped her foot:
"Even if you think all humans deserve to die, Locke City isn't just for humans! There are at least a hundred of your elven kin living there too. Are you going to drown them as well?"
"...They died a worthy death for the greater cause."
Viliana remained silent for a few seconds, still showing no intention of cooperating.
"you……!"
Yulia's fist finally hardened completely.
Under Emerald's incredibly complex gaze, Julia, carrying Viliana in one hand and clenching her fist tightly in the other, uttered her most famous declaration from the original game:
"Your thinking is a bit too dangerous and needs to be corrected! I'm not very good with words, but I can express my feelings with my fists!"
Snapped!
As the last word of the declaration faded, Yulia threw a powerful punch, striking Viliana squarely in her soft, flat stomach.
"Oh ho ho ho..."
Viliana rolled her eyes and let out a strange scream almost the instant she was punched. Her tongue lolled out of her mouth, and her eyes gradually lost focus until they were completely blank, like a mecha girl in a science fiction anime who had her memories erased after being captured by the villain.
Even Emerald, who was only watching this scene through the live stream, touched her abdomen as if experiencing phantom pain, and involuntarily squeezed her legs together.
That's terrifying! It's Yulia's ultimate technique from the original game—the Mind Correction Fist!
"Humph."
Yulia had no idea how powerful the move she had unintentionally mastered was, but she seemed to have judged that Viliana was no longer a threat, so she casually tossed her aside.
Sure enough, even though her neck was no longer being gripped tightly and the flow of magic within her body had returned to normal, Viliana showed no signs of struggling or resisting. She remained kneeling on the ground, her eyes glazed over, drooling and unable to move.
Julia didn't look at Viliana any longer. She walked to the blue magic circle, observed it for a moment, and then raised her fist:
"Forget it, I don't understand it, let's just smash it."
"Wait! Julia, wait!"
Just as Julia was about to throw a punch, Emerald called out to her again:
"Don't smash it! My technical team analyzed it during your battle just now. It's a large-scale spell that can control the flow of seawater. If you forcibly interrupt the spell, the flow of seawater in the vicinity will be completely out of control! Locke City may escape this disaster, but other villages and towns near the coastline will most likely suffer heavy casualties."
Chapter 87 Yulia Cries
"……so what should I do now?"
Upon hearing Amelie's words that the magic circle couldn't be broken, Julia immediately frowned in worry:
"That evil elf is quite powerful. It must have taken me quite a while to defeat her. By now, the seawater must have entered Locke City, right?"
"The best way is to get Viliana to surrender. It's her magic; she definitely has a way to control the tide to recede on its own... Or you could interrogate her a bit more?"
Emery offered advice.
"But that wicked elf seems to have been knocked senseless by my punch... Huh?"
Upon hearing this, Julia looked in Viliana's direction, but immediately stomped her foot in exasperation:
"Where's the bad elf? Why did she run away?"
Unwilling to give up, Yulia immediately flew up and searched carefully around, but had to admit that Viliana must have run far away and she couldn't find her.
"Elves are all liars after all!"
Yulia was furious but helpless, scratching her head like a monkey in frustration, yet she looked incredibly cute because of the beautiful girl's stunning looks.
"Yulia, don't panic."
Emery quickly reassured her, then hesitated for a moment before saying:
“I have contacted an expert in elven magic and have the M22 squad pick him up and bring him to you. That expert has been studying elven magic for 60 years, so controlling a magic circle that has lost the maintenance of the elf himself should not be difficult, it just will take some time.”
"The only way for us now is for Julia to go back to Locke City and see if there's anything we can do to help the people."
"...That's all we can do for now."
Forcing herself to regain her composure from her anger, Yulia nodded and immediately flew towards Locke City at top speed.
Upon reaching the skies above Locke City, Julia discovered that the seawater had indeed entered the city, now reaching knee-deep, and many women walking on the streets had to lift their skirts.
There have been no casualties so far, but many people are panicked and at a loss as to what to do in the face of the sudden flood, not knowing where to escape to.
Yulia really wanted to shout like she did before:
"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
Then she tried to solve the problem, but this time she tried several times to speak, but couldn't get a sound out.
This time, people aren't facing minor inconveniences or clumsy thieves, but a natural disaster like a flood. Even mages can only protect themselves in the face of such a calamity, and are powerless to protect everyone.
"I am still too weak, I can't do anything."
Yulia smiled bitterly and muttered to herself, her heart suddenly filled with a longing for power. She wanted the kind of power that could protect everyone even in the face of a city-destroying catastrophe.
"No, you can still do some things, Julia!"
As if hearing Julia's whisper, Amelie's voice rang out again from the earring-shaped magical device:
"According to the observations and calculations of the expert team, although the flood came on strong, the root cause was the mine of Vinylon Copper Industry. The entrance of the mine is like the spring of water."
"Although it's unlikely, if someone can temporarily block the entrance to the mine, it can effectively slow down the flood's inundation rate and perhaps hold out until that elven magic expert arrives."
"I understand, I'll go!"
Without even a fraction of a second of hesitation, upon hearing that she still had something she could do, Yulia didn't consider whether her power could withstand the sea, and flew towards the mine of Velen Copper Industry.
After hundreds of years of renovations, the main entrance to the super-large copper mine of Vinylon Copper Industry is only one, but it is very large, almost the size of the cargo hold door of a large transport ship, with a width of more than 50 meters and a height of about 30 meters.
Now, seawater occupies almost two-thirds of the cave entrance, flowing out at a high speed and then moving towards Locke City along the terrain.
Blocking such a large hole was no easy task. Yulia searched the entire Velen Copper Mine, which had been turned into a swamp, and found only one suitable thing—a warehouse outside the mine used to store ore.
This warehouse is a one-piece metal structure, not a traditional brick building. If the warehouse could be lifted off the ground and used to block the hole, it should be able to reduce the flow rate of the flood.
"...I can do it."
Yulia gritted her teeth and rushed to the warehouse. With her lower body submerged in water, she stuck her hands into the ground below the warehouse wall, trying to lift the warehouse, which weighed over a thousand tons.
The warehouse shook a few times and tilted slightly, but soon stopped moving.
Yulia is indeed very strong; she can grab a magic-powered vehicle weighing over 10 tons with one hand and smash it like a small stone, but she is still somewhat lacking in strength compared to lifting objects weighing over a thousand tons.
She knelt on one knee, but couldn't lift the warehouse.
"I really can't do anything!"
Yulia cried bitterly, her clothes and hair getting soaked, wet with both seawater and her tears.
Pancake, who had been secretly following Yulia for some time, used magic to record this scene completely, from different angles.
"OK, OK, the best material is in hand. Let's begin executing Plan D."
Unlike the heartbroken and crying Yulia, Emerald was quite excited and immediately used the communication magic device to issue orders to her subordinates.
As Locke City police and White River gang members ran through the flooded streets, all the playback equipment in the shops that had rented Blue Star Cinema equipment was turned on.
Above the central square of Locke City, an enormous projection appeared.
This time, the main character in all the projections was Amelie, who was wearing a gorgeous red evening gown, paired with high heels and black stockings, making her look noble and charming.
She sat with her legs crossed on the magical chair, her posture elegant and her voice calm:
"Good afternoon, citizens of Locke City."
“I am Emerald Melson, the current de facto ruler of this city. You may have heard of me, or you may not, but it doesn’t matter.”
"The important thing is..."
The projected camera panned to Yulia, and everyone saw her desperately trying to lift the metal warehouse, but she was too weak and crying.
"Dear Miss Julia, everyone should know her, right?"
“Over the past few months, you’ve seen plenty of her short dramas in restaurants and bars, and many of you have even received help from her personally. You should know what a kind girl she is.”
"Now, Miss Yulia still wants to help everyone, but she doesn't have enough strength, and she needs your help."
“Helping Yulia is helping yourselves. I’m just a ruthless capitalist who can abandon this place and run away at any time. Ultimately, your city will have to be saved by yourselves.”
"Are you... willing to lend all your power to Yulia?"
Chapter 88 Now, I can do anything!
"……willing!"
"I am willing!"
