The villain daughter did all kinds of things

"Now that you've heard the story, it's time for your lesson... I've already made plans to meet my friend again in three days. We'll both be bringing our disciples, and you'll have a chance to compete."

“My old friend’s strength has never been weaker than mine. A disciple that she can proudly show off to me all day long is definitely not to be underestimated… Even you, Little Ellie, could lose in a very embarrassing way if you are careless, so you must catch up! You can lose, but you can’t lose in a very embarrassing way, understand?”

"Understood, Mother-in-law."

Amelie readily agreed; she didn't want to lose, and it would be great to have a last-minute boost.

"Um……"

The old lich tapped his jawbone with his bony fingers as he pondered, saying:

"My old friend is keeping her apprentice's details very secret. All I know for now is that her apprentice is also a woman, two or three years older than you, and of noble birth in the Tianyun Empire. But I don't know her specific abilities, so it's difficult to target her."

"But it doesn't matter. My old friend certainly won't underestimate me. Right now, she's probably giving her disciples extra lessons. We can use this to prevent them from targeting you."

“My old friends know me very well, and you are my disciple, so they will definitely prepare spells that are very effective against the undead to deal with you.”

"Although my friend cultivates the path of the soul, just as you, little Ellie, can use holy magic as a necromancer, they may also have some powerful magical artifacts or methods that can use the Taoist techniques of the immortal sects."

"So, Ellie, your first lesson this time is to adapt to those Taoist attacks."

"Can Taoist magic suppress the undead...?"

Emery nodded:

"This definitely requires some training... But Grandma, you haven't told me yet which immortal spells are particularly effective against the undead? Are there certain special flames or lightning?"

"...Little Ellie, you seem to know quite a lot. Did you read this in a novel?"

The old lich teased Ameliete again before speaking seriously:

"But you guessed right... Most immortal spells and magic are actually quite similar, just with different appearances and names. But there are two kinds of fire and lightning that you need to be very careful about, as they are extremely effective against undead creatures. Especially the lightning, which is one of only two methods I have ever encountered that can completely kill my undead. The other one is your holy magic, little Ellie."

"Completely kill the spirit of the mother-in-law?"

Amelie said with some surprise:

"Isn't it true that your spirit can be resurrected indefinitely as long as you still have the mark? And my holy magic can do that too? How come I didn't know that?"

"That's because you're still too weak, Ellie."

The old lich pointed it out mercilessly:

"But when you attacked my undead with holy magic while doing your homework, I could feel the effect of it trying to erase my undead mark as well... It's just that your magic power is far inferior to mine, and I forcibly neutralized that effect with my magic power."

"Another spell with the same effect is the Divine Firmament True Thunder of the Heavenly Cloud Kingdom's Immortal Sect."

"Although the Divine Firmament True Thunder is a secret technique that only the high-ranking members of the immortal sects can master, my old friend said that her disciple comes from a noble family. Who knows, she might actually have some kind of magic weapon or high-grade talisman that can summon the Divine Firmament True Thunder. You must be mentally prepared."

"...Is it the Divine Firmament True Thunder? I understand now."

Emery nodded, her eyes filled with seriousness.

She was familiar with the name "Divine Firmament True Thunder," a supreme-level spell that countless players coveted in the original game but which the main characters could never learn.

In the original game, this spell was also quite powerful:

When attacking, it penetrates 75% of defense and damage reduction effects and deals true damage. When attacking, it dispels all buffs on the target. When attacking evil creatures, it has a chance to instantly kill them (effective against elites and bosses).

I don't know if the real-world Divine Thunder is as powerful as in the game, but even if it isn't, the difference is probably only numerical and not too great.

The high armor penetration and true damage alone are powerful enough, and the unlimited number of dispel buffs is even more troublesome for Emerald... because one of the core tactics of holy magic is to constantly apply buffs to oneself and stack buffs.

"I will train hard so that I can adapt to the Divine Firmament True Thunder."

Amelie first earnestly expressed her stance to the old lich, and then asked:

"Then what kind of special flame are you talking about, Grandma?"

"There's no need to take those flames so seriously; just be careful."

The old lich's tone became much lighter when fire was mentioned:

"That flame is called Samadhi Fire. It burns away the undead and evil things very quickly, but it only burns them away and won't damage your undead mark. So even if your undead are burned to ashes by this flame, it's not a big problem. As long as you spend magic power, you can revive the undead again... However, the magic power you consume to revive the undead will be much higher than the spiritual power consumed by the opponent to release Samadhi Fire. Just be careful not to get dragged into a war of attrition by this flame."

"clear."

Emery nodded obediently, then took a deep breath:

"Then begin training me, Mother... Speaking of Samadhi True Fire, it's fine, but how do you know how to unleash Divine Firmament True Thunder? Isn't that a secret technique passed down by the higher-ups of the immortal sects?"

"Of course, it's because some of the people I've killed know it."

The old lich snapped her fingers, and a fat zombie carrying a sword case emerged from the dark purple crack behind her.

"Don't let her current appearance fool you, she was quite beautiful when she was alive. She held a high position in the immortal sect and even had a title like 'Great Thunder Fairy'... She was also incredibly arrogant, leading a bunch of her sycophants who claimed they wanted to wipe us out to eliminate evil and uphold justice."

"It's a pity that we still won in the end. She's all show and no substance. After I defeated her, I just grabbed her and injected a little bit of death power into her, and all she could do was scream."

Chapter 257 The Bride and the Female General

"...Grandma, you mean, this girl used to be a fairy from a celestial sect in the Heavenly Cloud Kingdom, and a very beautiful one at that?"

Emery pointed to the fat, ugly, silver-skinned zombie in front of her, speechless.

"Then why did you transform her like this? What a waste..."

"What? Little Ellie, are you unhappy with my modifications?"

The old lich immediately glared at him, his voice rising slightly:

"Its heavy body allows it to have stronger defense and store more spiritual power. Coupled with the almost indestructible Divine Firmament True Thunder, it can be transformed into a fortress-level turret, which is much stronger than its original delicate and weak body?"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes... Grandma, you're absolutely right."

Emerald could only offer a perfunctory response, while inwardly cursing:

If I weren't afraid of getting beaten up, I would definitely argue with you about the importance of beauty.

"Hmph, I think Ellie's butt's itchy again."

But the old lich seemed to have seen through Amelie's thoughts and sneered:

"Perfect timing, it's been a while since I've beaten you up. I'll give you a good training session this time."

As the old lich uttered the last word, lightning suddenly crackled around the fat zombie, accompanied by a clear, cold female voice that seemed completely out of place with its ugly, obese body:

"Divine Firmament Thunder-Summoning Sword! Swift!"

Whoosh whoosh!

The sword box on the fat zombie's back immediately opened, and several streams of light shot out, but they were not used for attack; instead, they shot straight into the air.

Boom!

Then came a thunderous roar, and the once clear sky was instantly filled with rolling dark clouds, with silvery lightning flashing and swirling within the black clouds.

Amelie had already donned the Heavenly Wing Saintess's armor and was on high alert. At this moment, she didn't hesitate to frantically cast shields on herself, casting more than 20 different types of holy shields in one go.

The old lich grinned happily upon seeing this:

"Then the training shall officially begin, Ellie~~"

brush!

Instead of a curved arc of electricity, a beam of lightning, as straight as a ray of light, descended from the sky and struck Emerald precisely.

They wear the thickest armor and endure the most brutal beatings.

The Divine Thunder spell is indeed very effective against Emeryte; the Holy Shield, which used to be very useful, is now almost useless.

It wasn't that it was easily defeated; most of the holy shields were actually intact. However, the beam-like lightning seemed to pass through the shields as if it were a phantom, ignoring most of them and piercing through the last few layers before striking Amelie.

Crack! Sizzle sizzle sizzle...

Amelie felt numb all over, even her sphincter muscles were affected, and she was temporarily unable to control herself, almost urinating directly.

Fortunately, Emerald managed to hold back. She quickly checked herself and found that the attack had not actually caused much damage, but the paralysis effect was quite severe... it had deprived her of her mobility for nearly 3 seconds.

If someone were controlled like this for 3 seconds in a real battle, the fight would likely be over.

"How was it? Did you enjoy being struck by the Divine Lightning, little Ellie?"

The old lich seemed quite pleased with Amelie's humiliation, and laughed heartily.

"Are you still itching for a beating?"

"...Gulp! Grandma, you're so cruel! It hurts so much, gulp!"

Emerald's reaction was an exaggerated scream, followed by rolling her eyes and falling straight backward, pretending that she had been knocked unconscious.

"Playing dead?"

The old lich scoffed:

"Slacking off will only get you a worse beating, Ellie!"

Brush and pull!

A beam of lightning descended from the sky once more, striking towards Emerald.

This time, the lightning struck even more smoothly. Emerald offered no resistance and continued to roll her eyes and stick out her tongue after being hit by the lightning.

"Ok?"

The old lich didn't laugh out loud again. Instead, he cautiously waved his hand again, intending to defend against the fat zombie who was controlling the Divine Firmament Thunder.

But it was too late.

Emery, who was electrocuted and stuck out her tongue, disappeared with a bang; it was just an illusion.

Taking advantage of the old lich's earlier smugness and carelessness, the real Emerald had already swiftly advanced to the fat zombie's side and, like a blond ninja in a Blue Star animation making a dumpling, shoved a highly compressed ball of holy light directly into the fat zombie's flesh:

"Explode!"

Bang!

Just as Divine Lightning can counter all magical shields, Amelie's holy magic also has a very high bonus against the undead.

Even though the fat zombie was modified by Granny Ya to have high defense and high health at the cost of sacrificing her beauty and agility, it was still as fragile as a chicken when faced with holy magic that was extremely effective against it, and was instantly killed.

"Haha, how is it, Mother-in-law?"

After instantly defeating the fat zombie, Emerald immediately stuck out her smug butt:

"The Divine Firmament True Thunder is indeed powerful, but if it can't stop the spell, I can deal with the caster, right?"

"Screw you!"

The old lich couldn't resist raising her bony foot and kicking Amelie's buttocks:

"I'm training you on how to deal with the Divine Thunder, not on how to use holy magic to bully my undead! You know how much mana these elite undead consume when they regenerate? I originally planned to reward you with 10 Death Essence Fruits after you completed the training, but now I only have 8 left!"

"Goo?"

Amelie's smug smile immediately froze.

Before that was even over, with the old lich snapping his fingers again, the fat zombie that had just been blasted apart by Amelie emerged unharmed from the dark purple rift and took control of the flying swords in the sky once more, putting the sky full of lightning under the old lich's control once more.

"This time you're not allowed to directly attack the spellcaster! Otherwise, I'll personally beat you up!"

Staring menacingly at Amelie, the old lich once again manipulated the fat zombie to cast a spell, striking Amelie with one divine lightning bolt after another.

Emerald was struck and tumbled about, screaming and crying, and began to suffer.

The Divine Thunder spell really countered her, rendering her magic shield almost useless. Defense was out of the question, so she should have attacked to defeat the caster.

But now that method has been banned by the old lich, and Amelie really doesn't have any good way to deal with the Divine Thunder for the time being. Her screaming and crying in pain was indeed an exaggerated performance, but her frantic movements and the fact that she almost urinated due to numbness all over her body several times were real.

You can't defend against it, you can't directly attack the caster, and dodging won't work either.

Normal lightning strikes are not fast during the lead-out discharge phase; they are not even as fast as the speed of light, and sometimes they don't even reach the speed of sound.

Those so-called warriors who can dodge lightning strikes actually use their keen observation skills to judge the landing point of the lightning during the lead-out discharge and dodge in advance. After that, even if the speed of the lightning strikes is close to the speed of light, it will not hit them.

But the Divine Firmament True Thunder is different. This spell's lightning strike has no lead discharge process at all. Instead, it is like a laser weapon in science fiction works on Earth. It is a true light-speed attack. When you see the lightning, you have already been hit. It is completely beyond the reaction of normal life forms.

Of course, you might be able to smash Valdo if you know how, but it's hard to say how effective time stop is against light-speed attacks, and Emery doesn't know time magic either.

Amelie's previous idea was to use the power of her golden right eye to destroy the Divine Lightning before it formed... Her right eye could make all magic have no trajectory, and could hit directly wherever her gaze fell, theoretically it was also a light-speed attack, which seemed feasible.

But after being struck by more than ten divine lightning bolts and nearly wetting herself, Emeryte had to admit that this method wouldn't work.

Her golden right eye's ability is fine; the problem is her reaction time... By the time she saw the Divine Firmament True Lightning taking shape in the air, she had already been struck and couldn't react at all.

"Stop, stop, stop! Grandma, I surrender! Let me think about this!"
