The villain daughter did all kinds of things

The Undead Beauty is an assassin. She constantly moves around Machira, occasionally launching a sneak attack with the blade of her Iron Bone Fan, or blowing a breath of alluring smoke into Machira's face. Even if she is occasionally knocked away by Machira's Tri-Pointed Double-Edged Spear, she can quickly recover thanks to her undead nature.

The Dragonbone Fighter was a long-range attacker, constantly suppressing Machira with Dragon Breath missiles and machine guns. Despite still being much stronger than the Sword Maiden and the Undead Beauty, Machira was unable to quickly defeat them and instead suffered new injuries herself.

As for the weaker Black Knight and Undead Aya, they are purely support characters.

The Black Knight will use her innate magic to interfere with Machira at crucial moments. Although her forced taunt can only attract Machira's attention for about 0.3 seconds, it is still very effective.

The undead Aya relies entirely on the microphone she makes from Mondor's vocal cords, using her innate ability to unleash enhanced clustered sound waves at Machira every now and then... Despite being the weakest, she deals the highest effective damage among the undead squad.

Machira was indeed very tenacious. Even when she was covered in wounds and her magic was depleted, she still managed to unleash considerable fighting power solely through her martial arts skills and the three-pointed double-edged spear in her hand.

But that's all; Emerald is unlikely to give her a chance to recover.

As the undead squad's offensive intensified, Machira's injuries worsened, and she finally couldn't hold on any longer.

The three-pointed double-edged spear was knocked away by the swordswoman's sword, her abdomen was hit directly by the cluster sound wave, and her face was sprayed with a large mouthful of pink mist by the undead beauty.

"I...I'm not reconciled!"

After gritting her teeth and uttering those last few words, Machira finally collapsed and lost consciousness.

"Phew, it's finally over... What a tenacious warrior. None of these old guys who have lived for hundreds of years are easy to deal with."

Emerald finally breathed a sigh of relief, then waved in a direction behind her:

"Okay, it's all over now, come out, baby."

Whoosh.

Immediately, a figure flew over at high speed and landed next to Amelie; it was Julia.

Julia's face was full of worry, and she immediately began to examine Emery by touching her all over:

"Amelie, are you alright? Waaah... You were so badly injured just now, you were bleeding all over, I almost couldn't hold back my tears."

"Don't worry... Don't you know how capable Sisi is? Besides, my injury is part of the battle plan, everything is under my control."

Emerald smiled and patted Julia's head to comfort her.

Julia was another backup plan prepared by Emerald, mainly to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation when she and Machira were both weakened.

Therefore, before the battle, Emerald repeatedly instructed Julia that unless Emerald called her or someone else intervened in the battle, Julia should hide herself and not come out, no matter what she saw.

Julia was certainly aware of Emerald's abilities and trusted Emerald's plans, but she couldn't help feeling worried and heartbroken when she saw Emerald injured.

All Amelie could do was comfort her with kisses and hugs for a while.

Once Julia was calmed down, Emerald pointed to Machira, who had been carried on the shoulder of the undead beauty for quite some time:

"Although this wicked fish always tries to hurt me, I have promised the Mermaid Queen that I would only teach her a lesson and then let her go... So, darling, do you understand what to do?"

"Yes, of course I understand."

Yulia immediately clenched her fist excitedly:

"The only way to get this bad fish to stop being hostile to you, Emery, is to turn her into a good friend of all of us, right? Don't worry, I'm the best at turning people into friends."

. . . . .

When Machira woke up again, she found her hands were bound and all her magic was sealed.

Before them stood a smiling blonde with twin ponytails, rubbing her hands together in anticipation, while a pink-haired witch stood nearby, watching the scene with a detached, tea-drinking expression.

"Hey, Machira."

The blonde with pigtails smiled and spoke, raising her fist:

Would you like to be my and Emerald's best friend?

"Pooh!"

Machira spat it out, holding her head high with a defiant air:

"I would rather die than associate with hypocritical heroes and despicable witches!"

"Hmm... I can accept it if you call me hypocritical, I'm magnanimous and won't hold it against you, but how dare you say that Emery is despicable? She's clearly such a good person!"

Yulia's fist immediately hardened, and a gleam of conviction shone in her eyes:

"Your idea is wrong and needs to be corrected."

Snapped!

In the original game, Yulia's strongest cheat move, the Mind Correction Fist, landed squarely on Machira's abdomen.

"Goo!"

Machira immediately let out a strange cry, her eyes widened and her mouth opened, as if her mind had been severely impacted and she was overwhelmed, and she fainted again.

But Machira was a strong person after all, and she soon woke up again.

Before me was still the blonde girl with twin tails, fists raised, and the same question:

"Hey, Machira, would you like to be my and Emerald's best friend?"

"impossible!"

Machira remained resolute; the will of the strong is different, unlike Viliana who was defeated after taking only one punch.

Snapped!

So Yulia punched Machira again.

"Hey, Machira, would you like to be my and Emerald's best friend?"

After fainting and then waking up again, Machira heard the question again.

This time, Machira hesitated for a moment, her eyes slightly unfocused, before answering:

"impossible!"

Snapped!

The third move was a corrective punch to revise one's thinking.

Then came the fourth punch, the fifth punch, the sixth punch...

It wasn't until Julia, who had been able to fight Amérite with water magic all night without getting tired, finally unleashed her seventh Mind Correction Fist with some fatigue that Machira's eyes became completely clear.

So when Machira heard the same question for the eighth time, she just tilted her head in slight confusion:

"What are you talking about, Yulia? Aren't we good friends? I remember I came to your house as a guest... Why are you tying me up? Are you planning to play some weird little game with me?"

It became.

The Chosen One's Mind-Correcting Fist is quite powerful. Even a strong person like Machira was completely corrected after taking only seven punches.

To prevent Machira from faking it, Emerald established a soul link with her using an invisible ribbon, which Machira accepted without any resistance.

After briefly reviewing Machira's memories and thoughts, Emerald felt strange.

Machira's memories were not significantly altered; only the cause and effect of tonight's battle changed slightly. Everything else remained the same, except for Machira's thoughts.

For example, Emerald's protection of Shasha was seen by the original Machira as Emerald becoming a witch who sheltered those who colluded with demons, which made Machira hate her.

After Julia corrected her thinking, Machira saw this behavior as a sign that Emerald was a reliable friend who was willing to face a powerful enemy for her friend, which moved her.

So Machira not only gave up her hatred for Shasha, but also became friends with everyone... at least that's what Machira thinks right now.

All I can say is that, compared to any innate magic or supernatural power, the Chosen One's cheat-like abilities are simply too overpowered.

What about the Dao Ancestor? The Dao Ancestor was the first Chosen One and cultivated for thousands of years. How strong would she be now?

The thought of facing such a big boss sooner or later made Amelie feel breathless, triggering her fear of insufficient firepower and her anxiety about intensity.

No, no, I'm still too weak. I must become stronger!

Furthermore, the reason why Machira hated Shasha and Emerald so much, or rather, hated the power of death, was also found in Machira's memories.

Just as Amelie had guessed, the matter was indeed related to the old lich.

Nearly a thousand years ago, when Machira was just a normal merfolk cub, the old lich was being chased and beaten by the divine tree for killing a high priestess of the Heavenly Shrine. In the end, he could only hide in the belly of a large fish in the deep sea and pretend to be dead in order to save his life.

In order to recover himself as quickly as possible, the old lich rampaged through the sea, plundering lives and magic. The Machira family were victims of that period.

At that time, the old lich had already been struck by the Dao Ancestor's sword, and his body was nothing but a skeleton. He also controlled a dense power of death, which was indeed very much in line with people's imagination of demons.

Machira, who narrowly escaped death, deeply hates demons because of this, but what she hates is not the real demons, but the users of the power of death.

As it happened, Xia Sha's acquired Abyss Darkness Power was also a type of Death Power, and thus she was affected.

Despite doing nothing wrong, the followers of the Abyss were branded as traitors and colluders with demons because of Machira's personal grudges, and were brutally murdered.

The Mermaid Queen's true intention was simply to abolish the title of High Priestess of Shasha, capture all the followers of the Abyss, and slowly reform them to restore their faith in the sea.

It was Machira, the executor, who secretly caused trouble, which led to the Abyss Cultists bearing various infamy and ultimately becoming traitors who were driven to extinction by the Merfolk.

It's impossible to say who's right or wrong; it's just fate playing tricks, it's all a coincidence, and it's the world's fault.

After confirming that Machira had truly become a good friend, Emerald kept her promise to the Mermaid Queen and let Machira leave.

When Machira returned, she immediately said that she and Emeryte had reached an agreement during the battle and were now best friends who could sleep side by side.

That's the end of Xia Sha's business. As long as Xia Sha stops proselytizing to other mermaids, the mermaid race will no longer hunt down the followers of Abyss Darkness.

When Xia Sha learned of this, she was overjoyed and cried tears of joy. She admired Amelie even more. That night, she couldn't resist sneaking out of the fish tank and into Amelie's room after Yulia fell asleep.

"Young Miss! I... I can also practice water magic with you!"

As the shy mermaid spoke, she took the initiative to open her seashell-shaped dress.

Emerald, of course, wouldn't refuse. After thoroughly enjoying the ocean-themed battle, she comfortably leaned against the headboard, playing with one of Shasha's fish tails in her hand.

"Speaking of which... now that the Merfolk have severed ties with you Abyss Dark Believers, it's no longer appropriate for you to call yourselves Merfolk. How about we give you a new name?"

"Please give your orders, Miss."

Xia Sha also clung to Amelie's leg, rubbing it gently against her face through her black stockings, each breath filling her lungs.

"I am the leader of the Abyss Cultists. I am yours, and the Abyss Cultists are yours too... You can call us whatever you want, or we can all call ourselves the young lady's ornamental fish from now on?"

“That’s not necessary… I have enough ornamental fish with you, Xia Sha. As for the other Abyss followers, let’s give them nice new names.”

Amelie thought for a moment, her eyes flashing with a strange light, and made a decision.

What would be a good name for the beautiful, powerful, and immortal dark-attribute mermaid race?

That's so hard to guess.

"Let's call them the Pearl Tears Elegy Clan."

Emery grabbed one of Shasha's fishtails and gently stroked it a few more times:

"And you, Shasha... are an ornamental fish that belongs solely to me, a beautiful fairy that I keep in my aquarium, so let's call you Water Fairy. This is also the position of the leader of the group."

Chapter 287 Panacea

Xia Sha had been looking for a suitable saltwater lake as her new home because she and her followers were being hunted by the merfolk and could no longer survive in the sea, so they had to come ashore.

Now that Machira has become good friends with everyone, and the Merfolk have lifted their pursuit of the Abyss Cultists, Shasha naturally no longer needs to look for a lake; for her, the sea is definitely the most comfortable place to live.

The secret black market in the Velen Mine happens to be connected to the Emerald Strait via an underground waterway. This body of water is still completely under Amelie's control, making it a perfect new home for Shasha and her followers.

Xia Sha, of course, would not refuse Amelite's arrangement. After asking Amelite for some materials, she began to build the Dark Altar in this body of water.

Many of those materials were originally the rewards Machira had offered for Shasha, which were eventually taken by undead bounty hunters controlled by Emeryte and are now being used to build Shasha's new home.

Once the Dark Altar is built, Shasha can cast spells to bring back the souls of her followers who have been sleeping in the Dark Abyss after being killed by the Merfolk soldiers. She can also take Amelie to experience the Dark Abyss space in depth.

Unfortunately, this altar must be built by Shasha herself, and no one else can help, so it will take some time, about half a month.

Emery wasn't in a hurry and went back to work tirelessly on Langdon's new body. That thing was really difficult to make and was still not finished.

However, since Xia Sha's matter has been basically resolved, Amelie no longer needs to be distracted and is more efficient when working overtime.

Finally, six days after Machira became good friends, the body designed by old man Langdon was created by Emery using necromancy.

"Finally finished..."

Looking at the rectangular amphibious vehicle in front of her that was exactly the same as the design drawings, Emery wiped non-existent sweat from her forehead and let out a long sigh.

They say practice makes perfect, and now Amelie is truly experiencing that firsthand. By personally crafting this new body for old man Langdon, her necromancy proficiency has increased significantly, far more efficiently than simply reading books and meditating.

Unfortunately, even old man Langdon couldn't have such an ingenious design all the time, otherwise Emery would really like to make more of these.

Once the body was created, it was simple to put Langdon's soul into it, and Langdon, of course, couldn't wait to start testing it after having a new body.
