Moreover, this magical barrier is a one-way magical barrier. The squid demons inside can use ranged spells to attack the soldiers of the demon tide extermination legion outside the city without being affected, which put the soldiers of the Federation Army at a disadvantage for a time.
However, the officers and soldiers of the Demon Tide Extermination Legion were all veterans with rich combat experience. They did not panic when they were at a disadvantage. They quickly held their ground and waited for something as if they had received new orders.
The answer is obvious.
Although Yuz was instantly defeated by Emerald's single glance, it seemed to have accomplished its mission of stalling for time... or rather, it didn't matter whether it was there or not.
Because Emerald didn't fly towards the Financial Triangle region at high speed, but rather walked there step by step in the air, maintaining the elegance of a young lady, as if taking a stroll after dinner... By the time she arrived over the Financial Triangle region, it had been about half an hour since the squid demons revealed their true forms in the rain of magic potions.
The squid spirits were fully prepared for battle. A magical barrier was erected, and the combat members were deployed within the city. The powerful warriors, led by Yog-Soth, were also on high alert.
"very good."
It seemed that Emery was wasting precious opportunities by being too slow, but she herself was quite satisfied.
For her, today's battle, besides eliminating the squid demon, also had another equally important objective: to test her own strength.
If the squid spirits are defeated too quickly, the desired effect will be lost.
"Let's try that one first."
Looking at the seemingly indestructible magical barrier above the three cities, Amelie made her decision after only a moment's thought.
You have strong defense, right? Perfect, I'll use this to test my damage output ceiling.
With that thought in mind, Amelie immediately began to gather holy magic, forming a ball of holy light above her head, and the ball grew larger and larger.
"...Stop her!"
Yog Soth, of course, did not recognize Amelite's new magic, but it could still sense the powerful magic that was terrifying to life. It immediately gave orders to the other squid demon warriors around it, and it also took the lead in condensing multiple ice spikes and shooting them at Amelite in the air like anti-aircraft missiles.
Ice-attribute superior magic: Extreme Cold Great Ice Spear!
Led by Yog Soth, five powerful squid spirits, including Yog Soth, attacked together, creating hundreds of massive ice spikes in an instant, enough to pierce a warship, engulfing Amelie and the magical warship behind her.
This attack was powerful enough to shoot the magic warship down from the sky. Captain Enoch immediately ordered the magic shield of the warship to be turned up to the maximum power. He also planned to place the warship in front of Amelie as her shield to buy her time to complete her spell.
"Thank you, Uncle Enoch, but no need."
Just as the magical warship Melson III was preparing for an emergency maneuver, Emerald's voice rang out directly inside Cambridge.
Then, Emery multitasked, using the power of her third fusion organ, the Moon Spring Body, to continue making the orb of light above her head grow larger with holy magic, while also activating her necromancy.
Everything dies eventually; even the coldest ice will eventually melt.
!
Without any noticeable phenomenon, just an invisible ripple swept through, and all those huge ice spikes melted and disappeared in the air, turning into powerless water droplets that drifted away with the wind.
"A terrifying witch..."
Yog Soth gritted his teeth, wanting to launch another attack with his men, but it seemed too late.
Because Amelie's spell was already complete.
The ball of light in the sky, condensed with a large amount of holy magic, had now become a colossal object with a diameter of over two thousand meters.
Then, like the most skilled craftswoman, Emerald used nanometer-level magic to sculpt the sphere of light with exquisite precision, transforming it into a golden sun before smashing it down.
This is the new magic that Emery developed on her own, based on the Holy Light Ball and incorporating divine magical knowledge.
Super-Divine Magic: Sunset!
Even before the enormous golden sun made contact with the magic barrier, it had already caused the magic array nodes within the city to groan under its strain.
"We must stop this attack! Everyone, show your true skills and fight to the death!"
Yog Soth immediately realized that the magical sun could not be allowed to fall, otherwise the magical barriers of the three cities would all shatter, and the squid people inside the cities would be slaughtered without the protection of the barriers when facing the elite demonic tide punitive legion.
"Yes, Chief!" x4
The other powerful squid spirits also realized this, and the four of them jumped out first to cast a spell together.
The multiple ice spears that were originally intended to interrupt Emerald a second time changed shape and all gathered directly below the golden sun, causing a huge ice tower with a diameter of over 500 meters to rise from the ground.
A combined, super-level ice magic spell: Tower of Babel!
The original creator of this ice-type super-level magic was also an elf. It was a magic developed by the elves to fight against meteorites that occasionally fell from the sky. Now, it is being used by the squid demons to resist the magical sun falling from the sky, which is quite a fitting application.
The enormous ice tower quickly rose over a thousand meters high, above the city's magical barrier, temporarily blocking Amelie's magical sun like an arm blocking a basketball with a fist.
Although both are super-tier magic, there are differences between them.
While it's true that elves are the creators of magic, humanity's ability to research and innovate magic has long been on par with that of the elves. Moreover, Ameliete incorporated theological knowledge that doesn't exist in this world into the Sunset spell.
Click!
So naturally, the ice tower only lasted for about 10 seconds before it began to crack and melt, like a wooden stake blocking a torrent of steel; it was only a matter of a few breaths before it was completely destroyed.
However, the squid spirits did not expect to block Amelie's magical sun with this move. While the four squid spirits were casting the spell together to complete the Tower of Babel, their leader, Yog Soth, also took the opportunity to complete another super-tier spell.
A beam of light, over 4000 meters long, slashed out from the ground and pierced the magical sun like a chopstick stabbing a meatball. Then, with a horizontal slash, it split the magical sun in two.
Water-based super-level magic: City Slash.
As the name suggests, this super-level magic compresses a large amount of water and sprays it to form a super-powerful water blade that can reach thousands of meters in length, enough to slice through a city when swung.
Yogg-Soth's use of this super-tier magic to counter the spell Sun was a lucky accident.
Because after it split in two, the magical sun naturally lost its shape, the mystical blessing from religious symbolism disappeared, and its power was visibly reduced, turning into just a huge ordinary ball of holy light that shattered upon hitting the magical barrier above the city.
"Hmm... So this magic has this kind of drawback? Its power drops drastically once it loses the form of the sun. I'll remember that."
Despite failing to land a blow, Emerald was not discouraged.
She first muttered to herself, noting down her new discovery. Then, glancing at the squid demon powerhouses, including Yog-Soth, who were panting heavily from unleashing their super-level magic, a smile of pleasure—a smile only Earthlings could understand—sounded on her lips.
"So you managed to block my attack with all your might? As expected of a race with a ten-thousand-year heritage, you're not too much of a nobody."
"But oh dear~~~~"
As Amelie spoke, she raised her hand again, causing the thick clouds that had gathered in the air to disperse completely, revealing thousands of golden rays of light behind them:
"What are you going to do with the second one?"
!
Looking at the second magical sun in the sky, which was larger, brighter, and hotter than the first magical sun, and whose diameter was estimated to have exceeded three thousand meters, almost all the squid spirits felt despair.
Yog Soth clenched his teeth and fists so tightly that his fingernails dug into his flesh.
Why so fast?
Even a great mage shouldn't be able to cast super-level spells in a row... Where do you get so much magic power?
Puzzled and unwilling, Yogg-Soth was powerless to do anything after using super-tier magic. It could only watch helplessly as the second magical sun set, landing right in the center of the magical barrier between the three cities.
boom!
Chapter 326 Ignoring the hostages and continuing the attack!
Have you ever been hit by the sun?
This sounds like a joke, but to the squid spirits in the Financial Triangle region, they really felt like they had just been hit by the sun.
As Emerald's second super-tier spell, "Sunset," struck its target, the city's defensive barrier, painstakingly constructed by the Ise Rei Foundation at great expense and time, shattered completely.
More than 1000 spellcasters of the squid demons exploded and died at that moment, with various bodily fluids scattering everywhere in the magic circle nodes.
Large quantities of high-quality magic crystals, intended as energy sources, also succumbed to the overload and were turned into fine sand-like powder by the excess magic flow.
With a single blow, the most solid shell of the squid demon's lair was completely shattered, while Emeryte remained calmly standing in mid-air, as if she had not just unleashed two super-tier spells, but merely tossed two fruit pits during a stroll.
The resonance of the circuits formed by the three fused organs makes Emerald's magical reserves and regeneration speed astonishing. If an advanced civilization were to capture her, imprisoning her alone in the energy core would be enough to power a main-class spaceship for navigation and combat.
The establishment of her magical concept greatly enhanced Amelie's magical efficacy, allowing her to use one part of magic as seven or more parts when casting spells, further increasing the power of her spells.
Furthermore, the newly discovered special shape enhances its religious symbolism, causing a complete qualitative change in Amelie's magic. The ordinary Holy Light Bullet was directly upgraded to the super-tier magic [Sunset].
One of the biggest differences between magic and divine magic is that any magic can be increased in power almost without limit by infusing and compressing more magical energy.
With Amelie's current magical power and strength, she is fully capable of wiping the Financial Triangle region off the map with a single move, annihilating millions of squid spirits in the three cities. Perhaps only the strongest squid spirits, such as Yog-Soth, would be able to survive.
But Emery did not do that.
Because she was not only a key player in this battle, but also its commander and initiator.
Eliminating the Squid Demon is now a tacitly understood common goal among the major powers of the Allen Federation.
Emerald is the organizer and commander-in-chief of the operation, as well as the main force in the battle, so most of the wealth of the Ise Rei Foundation will be her spoils of war, a fact that everyone has already accepted.
While other factions may not gain much in terms of spoils, the fact that they can be forgiven of their debts to the Ise Retsu Foundation is enough for them to strongly support this operation.
What about the Federal Army?
The Federation Army, of course, also has its own needs. They will not compete with Emerald for the spoils of war, but they need the merit of annihilating a large number of monsters.
You wiped out all the squid demons with a single super-level spell, so where are the Federation soldiers going to earn their battle merits? Are they going to turn around and hunt down the witch?
Emerald was well aware of these conflicts of interest, so she only shattered the city's defensive barrier in the Financial Triangle region with a single blow, and did not attack the ordinary squid demons, leaving these moving battle achievements to Judy's demon tide extermination force.
"...There's no other way."
Having personally experienced Emerald's power, Yog Soth, the leader of the squid demons, was forced to make a decision:
"Let's proceed with the final plan, or our race will be wiped out today."
The other four powerful squid demons remained silent, but their eyes hardened, becoming fanatical and no longer filled with fear.
Then Yog Soth immediately spat out a mouthful of ink to conceal himself and moved toward Lake Tania at top speed.
The four powerful squid spirits that had been following it all took to the air, covered their bodies in ink, and rushed toward Emerald, clearly intending to buy time.
"Oh? After witnessing my new magic, instead of fleeing in panic, you rushed towards me to continue your counterattack? It seems that you squid spirits at least have some courage."
Emerald glanced at the four squid demons with the same disdainful look one might give a small fry. She noticed that they were all slightly stronger than Yuz, but not by much, and prepared to eliminate them.
"I want to play too! I want to play too!"
As a result, another figure immediately flew out of the magic warship behind, shouting as if stealing monsters in a game, and rushed towards the four squid demons. It was Yulia, who was itching to fight after witnessing Emeryte's great power.
"..."
Seeing this, Emerald could only smile indulgently and shake her head, refraining from further action, and instead turned her gaze toward the headquarters of the Ise Group.
With the power she gained from her upgraded golden right eye, she was certain that there was a large underground space there, containing a vast amount of wealth amassed by the Ise Group over the past millennium, including many extremely rare and priceless materials, far exceeding the collection of the Art Association.
"Then I'll go collect some of the spoils first."
Seeing that Yulia was having a great time and was not under any pressure in the battle, Emerald completely ignored the four squid demon warriors and flew directly towards the headquarters of the Ise Regiment Foundation.
One of the powerful squid demons tried to stop her, attempting to launch magic at Emerald.
But before its magic could even begin to gather, Yulia had already appeared in front of it and delivered two powerful punches, shattering its magic and sending it flying.
As the chosen one of our time, Yulia is truly on a rocket-like upgrade.
Emerald's ability to continuously grow stronger can be attributed to her talent, hard work, financial resources, and memories from her past life, which is to be expected.
Yulia, on the other hand, can become stronger simply by eating, sleeping, and fighting every day, which even Emery sometimes envies.
Yulia has only been a mage for a little over three years, yet those squid demons who are at least several hundred years old are no match for her at all. She beats them up in the air like balls with her absolute speed and strength advantage, and any magical counterattack is ineffective against her.
Yulia is still unable to project her magic and use any magic, but her cells can evolve resistance to any magical attack, or even become completely immune.
Compared to the magic Emerald used in her daily training, the spells of these squid spirits were no longer even considered attacks for Julia, and were even less effective than Emerald's cheating tricks during the nighttime water magic duel.
Naturally, those four squid demon powerhouses were no match for Yulia, and it was only a matter of time before they turned into squid sauce under Yulia's fists.
. . . . .
"attack!"
When the protective magical barriers of the three cities of Basha, Shama, and Era were shattered by Emery's super-level magic, Judy knew her chance had come and personally led the demon tide extermination legion to launch an attack.
The squid-like creatures roaming the streets of the three cities might be dangerous monsters to most ordinary Federation citizens, but to the officers and soldiers of the Demon Tide Extermination Legion, they are mobile battle achievements that can help them get promoted and make money.
The ground troops, riding on giant crabs and wielding magic guns, advanced and fired as they went.
The aerial mages, riding their flying skateboards, entered the city first, throwing commonly used and efficient area-of-effect spells such as fireballs and chain lightning at the areas where the squidmen were most concentrated.
There's no need to worry about overly powerful anti-aircraft firepower anymore, because the anti-aircraft systems of the three cities, like magical barriers, were directly destroyed by Amelie's magical sun... In fact, it's currently difficult to find a single working magical circuit within the three cities.
Some of the squid demons tried to use their magical devices and magic to shoot at the air, but the squid demons hadn't fought a war in years, and their combat experience was nowhere near that of the soldiers of the Demon Tide Expeditionary Legion. This kind of anti-aircraft firepower posed no threat at all.
More importantly, the magical artifacts in the hands of the squid demons soon became mostly ineffective.
