Looking at the deep crater created by the high temperature and explosion, Emery showed a joyful expression, which then turned into excitement.
Although currently the only magic that can be applied in this way is likely to be a Holy Light Ball, there is a big difference between magic and divine magic.
The power of divine magic is fixed. Even if Emery wanted to consume more divine power to increase the power of a single Sunfire Burst, she couldn't do it, and the Lohid Copying Technique couldn't copy it either.
But magic is different. Even the most basic magic can achieve extremely strong destructive power as long as enough magic power is consumed... A small fireball can also destroy a city in one blow.
Emerald just conjured a Holy Light Bullet the size of a human head and modified it into a sun using new technology. What if she used enough magic to make the Holy Light Bullet big enough? What kind of power would it have?
Amelie thought it was time to give this magic a new name.
. . . . .
About a week after the magical rain in Sphingard, most of the cities and regions of the Allen Federation experienced magical rain, yet not a single lurking squidman was found.
While people were relieved, they also had some doubts... Weren't the squid people supposed to have amazing stealth and disguise abilities? Why weren't they detected? Was Machira's information wrong? Or was the potion not actually that effective?
Amidst much speculation and wild guessing, the area where the magic potion brought rain finally became the Financial Triangle region.
Since the squid spirits in other cities had been unharmed by the magic potion rain, the squid spirits in the Financial Delta were quite at ease, even waiting for the magic potion rain to begin with a mocking attitude and strange smiles.
"Laugh all you want... I hope you can still laugh later, hmph."
On a magical warship about 500 kilometers away from the Financial Triangle region, Emerald looked at the magical projection transmitted from ahead and snorted coldly.
According to the plan, the final battle against the squid demon will begin today, and she, as the plan's architect, will naturally be in charge of directing it herself.
She didn't just command; once the battle broke out, Emery planned to personally take action and test her improved strength in actual combat.
Soon, the government mage in charge of administering the magic potion to bring rain sent a message, reporting respectfully to Emerald:
"Preparations are complete, and the rain can begin at any time. Please give your instructions, Miss."
"Ah."
Emery simply gave a soft "hmm" and didn't immediately give the order. Instead, she picked up another communication device and connected to another line:
"How are your preparations going, Senior Judy? This is your first battle after successfully advancing to the Fusion stage, so you must fight it well."
"Do not worry."
Judy's voice was quite spirited:
"All seven punitive legions are already on standby at their designated positions, without arousing any suspicion. After all, our mission as the demonic tide punitive force is to run around all day punitive demonic tides."
After experiencing Nayudanda's destined death, Judy took a vacation and traveled around with Emerald's little brother, Minami, officially confirming their romantic relationship.
During one of their dates, when their feelings were running high, Judy, who was already at the peak of her control, suddenly shuddered and actually had a chance to break through.
Afterwards, Popo immediately contacted his capable sister for help, while Emery immediately sent people to deliver various resources and arranged a safe place for Judy so that Judy could calm down and complete her breakthrough.
Ultimately, Judy lived up to expectations, becoming a Fusion Mage at the age of 26, and just in time for the operation against the Ise Rei Foundation.
Strength is everything. Regardless of what Judy's three brothers might think, Judy had already won the competition by becoming a Fusion Mage.
In addition to her relationship with a certain young lady, Judy was naturally promoted again, becoming the youngest female brigadier general in the Allen Federation, and was able to directly command a total of 7 demon tide extermination legions.
Chapter 325: The Great Cleanup of the Oil Sewage!
Judy's seven demon-suppressing legions were deployed in the wilderness in various directions around the Financial Triangle region, pretending to be surveying the demon tide. In reality, their true target was the three cities that they seemed to be protecting.
Once the squid demons reveal their true forms, the soldiers of these seven demon-slaying legions will use their experience in exterminating demons to either enter the city to hunt them down or intercept them outside the city, leaving no squid demon from the Ise Retsu Zaibatsu unpunished.
After confirming that Judy's troops were all in position, Emerald used another communication device to contact another friend of hers. Only after confirming that the friend there was also in position did she issue orders to the government official who had initially connected with her:
"Go ahead... Remember, once the potion rain starts, don't hesitate, immediately activate your teleportation items to evacuate, understand? You only have a maximum of 5 seconds to react. If anyone is too slow and doesn't keep up, I'll have to give their family a pension."
"Understood, Miss!"
Upon receiving Amelite's official order, several government mages in the financial triangle region consisting of the three cities of Basa, Shama, and Era immediately used magic to send dozens of tons of potions into the air, where they mixed with a large amount of rain generated by water magic, eventually becoming a rain of potions that enveloped the three cities.
Since previous rainfalls in other cities had failed to bring any squid spirits to life, the squid spirits now roaming the streets of these three cities are not afraid at all. They are all taking selfies in the rain with various photo-taking gadgets, making faces.
"Foolish squid spirit."
Emerald, having witnessed the squid demon's grotesque behavior, sneered. In an instant, her dress transformed into the magical costume of the Winged Saintess, and she flew out of the magical warship.
Today's operation will not only require her to personally oversee and direct it, but also to personally participate in the action.
Since they've already stopped being low-key and have shown their strength in front of others quite a bit before, they can't miss such a good opportunity to test their new magic.
Snapped!
Amelite, who was suspended in the air, snapped her fingers, releasing all the nanoscale holy seal crystals that had been dormant in the squid demon's body for a long time, allowing the magic potion inside the crystals to take effect.
In the cities of Basha, Shama, and Elah, a young man was taking a selfie in the rain, striking what he thought was a cool pose, when he suddenly discovered that his head, which he had just gotten a new hairstyle for that morning, had turned into a squid head on his magic device screen.
"This...this is? I clearly already...how is this possible?"
It cried out in disbelief, only to find that it wasn't itself, but all its kin in the rain had revealed their true forms.
In just a few breaths, the human city that had seemed perfectly normal just moments before had been transformed into a den of monsters littered with squid heads.
"Damn it! We've all been tricked! We've fallen for the witch's scheme!"
By this time, the squid spirits of the Ise Retsu Group finally realized what was happening, but it was clearly too late.
Emerald made no attempt to conceal her powerful aura as she slowly approached the Financial Triangle region from the air, with the magical warship Melson III behind her.
All seven demon-slaying forces were mobilized. Three of them were rapidly approaching the cities of Basha, Shama, and Erah, while the other four were working together to form an interception network, clearly indicating that they did not intend to let a single squid demon leave the area.
"You, go and kill the witch!"
In the meeting room of the core members of the Ise Group, Yug Soth pondered for a moment, then pointed at one of the squid spirits and issued an order, before saying to the other squid spirit:
"You, go and use your abilities to appease your fellow tribesmen, then have them act according to the plan."
"Huh? I'm going to kill the witch? (Yes, leader!)"
The second squid spirit immediately obeyed and left, but the first squid spirit looked aggrieved, as if it dared not speak out against its anger.
It was none other than Yuz, who had discovered Viliana's kidnapping of the squid spirit and followed her all the way to the Locke City area.
"What? You're not convinced?"
Yog Sos glared fiercely at Yuz:
"Back then, those young people from our clan were kidnapped by the witch. It was obvious that they were captured and used for experiments. That's why the witch obtained some means that allowed us to reveal our true forms... If you hadn't been so useless back then, would we be where we are today?"
"Uh, but..."
Yuz had already figured this out, so it didn't dare say anything, but it still stood there dawdling, not daring to move.
Just kidding, it had personally experienced the witch's oppressive aura, and it didn't think it had any chance of survival if it faced the witch.
"...I didn't actually ask you to fight the witch to the death."
Seeing this, Yog Soth took another deep breath, softening his voice:
"You are one of the strongest in our clan, so it shouldn't be a problem for you to temporarily hold off the witch and buy her some time, right? 15 minutes... As long as you can hold off that witch for 15 minutes, you can break through and escape on your own. Just survive, and you don't need to worry about anything else."
"Really?"
Yuz was now energized. After confirming that Yug Soth was not joking, he immediately left the Ise Regiment headquarters building and flew in the direction that Emerald had come from.
It is, after all, a powerful being in the third stage, and it still has a certain degree of confidence.
If you let it fight Emery to the death, it's confident it will die, but it thinks it can just stall for 15 minutes and then run away.
...That's an arrogant witch, you know. She wouldn't use her ultimate move right away to deal with a nobody like me, would she?
With this in mind, Yuz quickly flew to Ameliete's place.
It first glanced warily at the magic warship behind Emerald, worried that the magic cannons that had already been fully charged might suddenly focus fire on it.
But then Yuz noticed that Emery was also in the path of the magic cannon, and he breathed a sigh of relief and adopted a posture of fighting to the death:
"That's enough! Melson's witch! You will never harm my people!"
Yuz's intention was to please the witch by acting like a victim, like a clown entertaining the audience, thus buying her more time and delaying her attack.
But it was clearly overthinking it.
Emerald merely glanced at Yuz indifferently, her voice completely flat:
"What? You squid demon, you think you can dance with me? You think you're worthy?"
Then a flash of light appeared in his golden right eye.
In the original game, Yuz's strength would be around level 200. After all, he was just the weakest of the Ise Retsu Foundation's powerful members, the first mini-boss in a dungeon, or even just a named elite monster. He was probably about the same level as the conservative powerhouses from the three founding families who tried to intercept Emerald's third uncle at sea when she went to the Eastern Kingdom.
As for Ameliete's strength, with the establishment of her magical concept, the acquisition of her third fusion organ, and the possession of a faith circuit, she had long since reached the level of an old lich, or even stronger, and might even be able to go toe-to-toe with the divine tree of the Sakura Kingdom.
...My mother-in-law was able to kill that weak swordsman from the conservative faction of the three main families in one move. I should be able to kill this weakling in front of me in one move, right?
With this in mind, Amelie looked at Yuz with her radiant golden right eye and immediately activated the new ability she had gained when she acquired her third fusion organ... or rather, the third fusion organ's enhancement of the first fusion organ's ability.
Eye Technique: Magic Detonation.
Just from being glanced at, Yuz was about to speak again when he suddenly felt all the magic in his body go out of control and start to go berserk, completely ignoring the fact that his body was about to expand and explode.
"This...this is? No...no!"
Yuz, who had never encountered such a method before, was immediately stunned. Its correct course of action was to try to escape Emerald's sight, but it chose to seize control of the magic, and of course, it failed to gain any control at all.
boom!
To outsiders, it appeared as a squid-man with the strength of a Fusion Stage mage flying in front of Emerald, seemingly trying to intercept her. However, Emerald merely glanced at it contemptuously, and it exploded on its own.
. . . . .
"Quick, quick, get out of here! You don't want to actually get compensation from the young lady, do you?"
Within the financial district of California, the federal mages who had unleashed the magical rain all promptly activated their life-saving teleportation devices, disappearing from their original locations as planned.
While they were using teleportation items to escape, about 20 kilometers outside the city, inside a very hidden magic circle, several white-robed old men with completely white hair and beards also made their move.
These white-robed old men were all great mages of the Lohid family, and they were either specialists in spatial magic or had some knowledge of it.
They will not be personally involved in the battle today; they have only one mission.
Space teleportation blocked.
Almost at the same time that the government mages successfully evacuated, a quick-thinking squid spirit tycoon also tried to escape using a teleportation device, but it was too late.
Under the combined blockade of the Lohid archmages, the Financial Three California region has now become a no-go zone for spatial magic.
Unless a space-type grand mage of at least the level of the Divine Tree intervenes, no one can use spatial teleportation in the Financial Triangle region.
Realizing they couldn't escape, the squid spirits of the Ise Retsu Group had no choice but to fight back.
Although they failed to foresee Emerald's plan in advance, the previous series of events had alerted them, and they had made some preparations in advance. Now, under the command of the Ise Rei Foundation's senior management, they began to execute the plan.
Just as the contingency plan was being implemented, the Ise Retsu Foundation received more bad news.
"What? Yuz is dead? So quickly?"
In the core members' meeting room at the Ise Group headquarters, Yog Sos, who had just issued a series of orders, spoke with a voice full of shock.
In its mind, Yuz was indeed just cannon fodder. It never expected that Yuz could actually buy 15 minutes of time with Emery, but surely it shouldn't have failed to last even 15 seconds?
"Did you see clearly how it died? What kind of magic did that witch use?"
Yog Soth stared intently at the squid spirit who had come to deliver the message, its squid eyes fixed on him.
The squid demon nervously spat out a mouthful of ink, and the tentacles on its head trembled.
"Look... I saw it clearly. It seems that the witch only glanced at Lord Yuz, and Lord Yuz exploded on his own."
"Just a glance?"
Yog Soth was shocked, while the other squid spirits remained silent.
"It seems that the witch's golden eye is likely more powerful than we speculated or imagined, and the rumor is not an exaggeration."
After a moment, Yog-Soth spoke again, scanning the other squid spirits around:
"When we face her later, remember this: the moment you are seen by the witch's magic eye, you are already dead."
. . . . .
About 13 minutes after the squid demons revealed their true forms, their emergency plan was successfully executed. A solid and massive shield-shaped magical barrier appeared above the three cities of Basha, Shama, and Era, and many squid demons were ready for battle.
Around the 15th minute, Judy's three demonic tide extermination legions arrived outside the three cities, but none of them charged into the cities. Instead, they maintained a distance of 3,000 to 5,000 meters and launched probing attacks with ranged weapons.
The result was that the magical barrier prepared by the squid demons was quite sturdy, and the regular ranged firepower of the Federation Army's Demon Tide Expeditionary Legion could not break through it at all.
