You're already so enamored with this little bit of skill? Once you find out just how amazing the young lady is, you'll probably crawl over here and fight me for a kiss on her feet!
While inwardly criticizing Badis, Marcy was also quite curious, so she gently touched Viliana's shoulder:
"Hey, White Hair, do you know what's going on? Is it really possible for someone to control 24 magical devices in battle at the same time? She's not using any tricks, is she?"
"……No."
Viliana had already secretly observed Judy using some kind of observation magic, and now she nodded seriously:
"She is indeed controlling 24 magical artifacts in battle simultaneously, and each of them is a rather powerful and high-quality magical artifact. These 24 magical artifacts also have multiple set effects... They should have been custom-made by your family, Master?"
"Of course."
Emery smiled and nodded, her tone one of unquestionable pride:
"Throughout the entire human realm, only Melson can custom-make sets of magical artifacts! That's common knowledge for any mage!"
"Melson's magical artifact technology is indeed impressive; it can be said to be the cornerstone of the prosperity and development of the Allen Federation."
Viliana agreed, and after watching Judy unleash her power to slaughter the monster minions, she pondered for a moment before concluding:
"However, even with a set of magical artifacts custom-made by Melson, it's impossible to activate all 24 pieces simultaneously for combat using only the artifacts' own effects. And there's no spell in general magic that can do this either, so there's only one answer... it's talent magic, right? Lady Judy's talent magic is the key to her being able to do this."
"That's right, as expected of Anna, she figured out the truth so quickly."
Emerald gave Viliana's ears a reward-like rub, then pulled her onto her lap and petted her like a cat.
"Judy's innate magic is multi-threaded thinking—she can handle many things in an orderly manner while distracted, which is why she can use this special set of magical artifacts. The set of 24 lightning orbs that she is currently using was custom-made through my connections... It's a pity that she's not my type, otherwise I would have kept her company for at least three nights."
"...If that's the case..."
Marcy, however, gleaned a different message from Emerald's words and thoughtfully remarked:
"All the beautiful female mages who are around your age, come from a federal noble girls' school, and use custom-made magical artifact sets have stayed in your bed?"
"Cough cough..."
Emery choked on her tea, caught off guard, and then immediately retaliated by grabbing Marcy, pinching her hard a few times, and stomping on her.
"Sissi, how come you suddenly became smart at the wrong time?... But what you said is not wrong. After all, I am the direct descendant of the Melson family. When I was in school, most of the older and younger girls who wanted to climb into my bed did want a set of custom-made magical artifacts. So far, the only beautiful girl I have slept with who also has such a set of magical artifacts is Yulia."
"...That idiot is really special."
Marcy, who was being trampled underfoot but looked quite pleased with herself, pouted again:
"I feel like you're spoiling her a little too much, Miss."
While the group chatted and laughed, the battlefield was progressing rapidly.
Judy is undoubtedly deserving of being the deputy commander of this unit.
Although they are all master-level mages, Judy is much stronger than the others. It seems that it wouldn't be impossible for her to take on them all by herself.
She had already changed into a black-based magical costume and strolled leisurely among the monsters at the forefront. Twenty-four lightning orbs around her either struck at high speed individually or formed an electric net to cut through them, reaping the lives of the monsters as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.
What's interesting is the style of Judy's magical costume. Except for the lack of rank insignia, it's almost identical to her husband Deng's general's uniform... You could say that she makes no attempt to hide her feelings.
However, Judy's fighting style was indeed incredibly cool, so Emerald repeatedly reminded Pancake and Julia using the communication magic device, telling them not to miss any of the upcoming scenes.
With the seemingly invincible Judy as the spearhead, flanked by hundreds of Amazonian warriors, and nearly 300 aerial mages in the rear to clean up any remaining enemies, their demon-slaying efficiency was terrifyingly high.
From the moment Judy took action, Emery hadn't even finished a cup of tea or eaten half a small cake, yet those stubborn minions and monsters who hadn't run away had already been almost completely wiped out.
Finally, Judy arrived at the Demon Lord, the three-headed giant Palico bear that had evolved into its strongest form after being fed a bunch of runes and potions by Emerald.
Out of caution, Judy did not attack directly, but instead made a gesture.
The Amazonian warriors on both flanks immediately lined up in the air on their flying skateboards, each pulling out a javelin from their backs and assuming a throwing posture.
Logically speaking, Palico's weakness is fire, so attacking it with a javelin inscribed with fire magic would be more effective.
However, this three-headed giant Palico is clearly a variant, and it's hard to say whether it will have the same fire weakness as the original. Therefore, the javelins of the Amazon warriors are not uniform, but rather come in all types.
Snapped!
Whoosh whoosh!
As Judy snapped her fingers, a hundred Amazon warriors simultaneously launched javelins at supersonic speeds, targeting vital parts of the three giant Pallas's bodies, such as their hearts, eyes, and joints.
Ding-ding-ding-ding.
As the tips of the javelins struck the dark green scales, most of them merely exploded into a burst of fire or icy mist before falling limply to the ground and being retrieved by the [Retrieval Spell].
Only a very few javelins, which were purely physical attacks, pierced through the dark green scales of the armor. Most of them pierced into the bodies of the three giant Palico bears, and after being retrieved by the [Recycle Spell], they brought out a large amount of black monster blood.
Its current weakness is physical attacks!
Even without Judy's orders, the Amazon warriors all noticed this—the three-headed giant Palico's dark green scales had at least twice the magic resistance of the original, but its physical resistance didn't seem to have increased much, and it could be pierced by a javelin thrown at full power.
So the Amazon warriors immediately switched to javelins for pure physical attacks, preparing to launch a second volley at the three giant Palico bears... Based on the results of the first volley, if this attack succeeded, it would definitely leave the three giant Palico bears riddled with bloody holes!
But how could things possibly go so smoothly?
After being attacked in the first wave, the three giant Palico bears woke up from their sleepy or dreamlike state.
Its small eyes on the left side of the snake's head darted around nervously, scanning its surroundings. Once it realized that the terrifying pink-haired two-legged beast from last night was gone, it immediately became rampant.
"Cluck~ Cluck~ Cluck~"
The rooster in the middle raised its head high and crowed like announcing the morning, but the sound waves burst forth with a fierce stream of magic.
"Ah!" xN
Almost all the mages using the flying skateboards gasped in surprise.
The crowing of the three giant Palico bear had a wide-range anti-air effect; the flying skateboards within a kilometer radius around it instantly lost their function, causing the mages to fall from the sky along with them.
It wasn't over yet. As the mages fell from the sky like dumplings, the other two snake heads of the three giant Palico Bears also launched a combo attack at the same time.
The snake head on the left spewed out a stream of acidic breath, launching a sweeping attack on the mages who were caught off guard and fell from the sky... If this attack had hit its mark, the mages in the air would have suffered heavy casualties.
The snake head on the right spewed out a dark green mist. Instead of attacking the mages, the mist quickly merged into the corpses of the dead monsters around them.
Chapter 117 Don't you know me yet, senior?
"Lightning array, defend!"
Judy, of course, would not stand idly by and watch her trusted subordinates suffer heavy casualties. Because she was walking on the ground and not affected by the rooster's crow, she reacted immediately.
The 24 lightning orbs formed a grid in mid-air and were linked together by lightning, instantly creating a rectangular lightning shield that intercepted the acidic breath.
The interception was somewhat difficult, as the three giant Palico bears were clearly more powerful, and the lightning shield was broken after only about 5 seconds.
That was enough, though. The aerial mages affected by the rooster's crow only fell from the sky; they didn't immediately lose their combat ability. Awakening-stage mages might still be dazed, but Master-level mages had already regrouped and regained their fighting strength.
Two more magical shields quickly formed, working in tandem to block the acidic breath and prevent any casualties.
Moreover, although the Federation's mages couldn't figure out what the dark green mist was trying to do, they were very clear that the enemy's task was to stop them.
So when they saw that the acid breath had been stopped, the remaining few master-level mages quickly changed their original defensive magic devices and used various offensive magic devices that focused on burning and destruction to attack the monster corpses on the ground, completely destroying or burning them.
This judgment proved to be quite correct, because the monster corpses that hadn't been destroyed or burned soon stood up again after absorbing the dark green mist, their eyes gleaming with ferocity and their expressions were even stronger than before.
Clearly, this is some kind of necromancy-like monster ability... and necromancy has always been one of the most troublesome and useful abilities in team battles.
"All Master-level mages, assemble! Those below Master-level, retreat. Engage targets at long range with area-of-effect attacks!"
Judy quickly issued new orders based on the situation, while the 24 lightning orbs once again linked together with electricity to form an electric net, harvesting the resurrected undead monsters.
Fortunately, the necromancy abilities activated by the monsters were not much different from human necromancy. These resurrected monster corpses were also weak to light, lightning, and fire attributes. Faced with Judy's electric net of 24 lightning orbs, they were as fragile as tofu blocks, and she easily tore several of them to pieces.
However, we must still be cautious when dealing with necromancy-based abilities.
After all, there are still more than 2000 corpses of various monsters at the scene. If these monster corpses are resurrected and surround Judy and the others from the outside, and attack them from both sides with the three giant Palico bears... then the situation will be quite pessimistic.
Therefore, awakened mages, who could no longer play a significant role in battles of this level, quickly retreated based on their past combat experience and training results, maintaining a safe distance and taking on a support role from the rear.
In the end, only 9 people gathered around Judy, making a total of 10 including herself, all of whom were master-level mages.
The battle resumes.
A mage, holding a staff in both hands, pointed it at the snake's head that was spewing out dark green mist and fired a fire magic cannon directly at it.
Some mages wielding melee magical artifacts would buff themselves and then charge straight into the monster corpses to unleash their fury. With their gunblades enchanted with light or fire attributes, they could kill a resurrected monster in just a few moves.
The other aerial mages who quickly retreated to a safe distance were not idle either. After their flight skateboards were restored, they took off again to provide support with various ranged attacks.
Even the main ground forces of the Federation Army, which had already entered spectator mode, had many officers and soldiers jump off the giant crabs and take out magical devices that functioned like flamethrowers to destroy the monster corpses on the battlefield, so as to prevent them from being controlled by the necromantic abilities of the three giant Palico bears.
Judy's orders were all perfectly appropriate responses. Her rise to the rank of major at such a young age wasn't solely due to her father being a general; she also possessed genuine talent.
However, the strength of the three giant Palico bears seemed to be beyond the capabilities of Judy's team.
After the three giant Palico bears awoke from their strange sleepwalking state, their dark green scales became much brighter than before, clearly indicating that they had been actively enhanced by magic.
The Amazon warriors' purely physical javelin throws, which could previously penetrate their defenses, now don't even leave a stain on their dark green scales.
The ranged attacks of the other awakened mages were even less effective. After trying several times and finding it completely futile, they also began to clear the monster corpses on the battlefield.
In this way, the necromancy ability of the three giant Palico bears is indeed rendered useless, and the threat of necromancy ability is greatly reduced without corpses as materials.
However, after the long-range concentrated fire support failed, Judy and the other master-level mages were caught in a fierce battle.
The fire-attribute magic cannon that hit the snake's head only made the snake's head shake a few times, looking like it had been punched by an angry girlfriend... a little dazed, but not much damage.
Most of the melee magical artifacts that struck the dark green scales only left shallow marks, while one slightly inferior single-edged sword was even broken in two.
Only one burly man wielding a two-handed axe achieved an effective strike; his full-force blow pierced through the dark green scales, leaving a wound on the three giant Pallas's Bears.
This clearly enraged the three giant Pallas's Bears, whose claws slammed down on the burly man at incredible speed. The man, still stiff from the full-force attack, was unable to defend or dodge.
At the critical moment, another female mage, who looked like the burly man's girlfriend, stepped between the bear's claw and the burly man, raising a magic shield.
But how could a magic shield hastily erected by a master-level mage defend against the furious attack of three giant Palico bears?
The female mage's magic shield was shattered, and she was grazed by the bear's paw. Instantly, one of her arms and shoulders was gone, and she was left flying through the air in a bloody mess.
Fortunately, she carried a life-saving magic device that automatically activated in emergencies. With a flash of blue light, it took her away from where she stood and teleported her directly to the medics' camp.
Even so, the burly man who witnessed all of this was still red-faced. Just like Amelie, who forcibly cultivated and broke through with the help of Marcy, he directly allowed magic to run overload in his body, at the cost of inevitably suffering serious injury afterward, in order to gain the opportunity to break through his attack limit.
Whoosh!
After swinging the great axe in a wide arc again, it brought down a powerful slash, striking one of the toes on the right foot of the three-headed giant Pallas's Bear, almost severing it completely. The bear roared in fury from the pain.
Then the burly man immediately started bleeding from his nose, mouth, ears, and eyes, triggering his life-saving magic device as well. He then went to the medic and lay down with his girlfriend.
"...That idiot couple, could they have deliberately injured themselves to slack off? We'll double their training when we get back!"
Judy uttered a harsh curse, but could only lead the remaining mages to continue the fight.
But the situation is quite bad.
The three-headed giant Palico bear doesn't seem to be very bright; it doesn't know how to use many of its abilities and relies entirely on instinct when fighting.
However, its attribute values are too high, and it has thick skin and high health. Most mid-to-high-level spells are just scratching the surface of its dark green scales. Judy's electric net composed of 24 lightning orbs is like an electrotherapy massage to it.
However, its random attacks can easily break through the defenses of a master-level mage.
Those magical artifacts that could protect a master-level mage as they strolled leisurely on the battlefield seemed no different from ordinary cloth in front of the three-headed giant Palico bear; a single swipe would result in at least moderate damage.
Within minutes, three of the master-level mages were injured, though not as seriously as the foolish couple. They were able to continue fighting after receiving emergency treatment with healing spells.
During this time, Yulia couldn't help but want to rush up and help several times, but was sternly stopped by Emeryte using the communication magic device.
This is a video of Federation soldiers fighting bravely. What kind of behavior is it for you, Yulia, to barge in and steal the credit?
Ultimately, under the reassurance and threat of Emerald's words, "We can definitely win this battle" and "If you dare to go up and help, I'll make your debt interest increase tenfold," Yulia held back and only followed Pancake to the closest place to the battlefield to take pictures, without making a move.
"This monster is indeed a bit too strong... The things I prepared for you, Master, shouldn't have such a powerful effect, right?"
Meanwhile, Amelie continued to sit inside the giant crab, sipping tea and watching the show. Viliana, using some kind of vision-enhancing spell, observed the battlefield for a long time, but ultimately couldn't help but wonder:
"Is that monster now considered an Ancient Dragon, Master? Its magical fluctuations and intensity seem to have reached that level, but a true Ancient Dragon shouldn't be this weak."
"Definitely... Ancient Dragon-level monsters correspond to Fusion-stage mages or archmages. Their strength has undergone a qualitative change, and they are simply not something that a few Control-level mages can contend with."
Emerald sipped her tea gently, enjoying the delicate foot massage that Marcy was giving her through her black stockings, and said:
"If it were me on the field and I were to fight seriously, I could kill all of Judy and the others in three breaths at most... Ancient Dragon-level monsters should be able to do that too, so that Palo Alto Bear isn't really an Ancient Dragon-level monster, it's so weak."
"As for its current strength... its current state is roughly similar to that of Yulia when it received magical support from Locke City to fight the flood. Both of them have reached the standard of an ancient dragon-level monster in some attributes, but their overall strength is still far from sufficient."
"According to the sayings of those immortal cultivation legends from the ancient empires east of the White Sea, this Palo Ultimate Bear is now considered to be at the peak of the half-step Ancient Dragon level or the Great Perfection of the Giant Dragon level. Against a true Ancient Dragon level monster, it still wouldn't even have a chance to escape, but against an ordinary Giant Dragon level monster, it would be one hit per move."
"I see……"
Viliana nodded in realization. Although she had become a slave, she had not given up her magical training and had always been very concerned about her strength.
