Emerald looked into the depths of the lake again with her radiant golden right eye, simultaneously analyzing the information with Lily of the Valley. After a moment, her expression turned slightly serious:

"So they actually want to force a breakthrough by sacrificing blood to the evil god? These guys who've been stuck at their cultivation level for so long are really capable of anything... Putting aside whether this method is moral or not, just looking at how they've clearly lost themselves and their reason, what's the point of breaking through even if they actually succeed?"

Despite saying that, Emery hesitated for a few seconds, but her caution prevailed over her urge to fight to her heart's content, and she decided that she could not let the blood sacrifice be completed.

Then Emery's golden right eye suddenly shone brightly, but it wasn't golden light; instead, it flickered with a mysterious and dangerous dark purple.

Everything must eventually die!

Everything has an end, and blood sacrifice is no exception.

Amelie activated the effects of her necromancy concept, ending the blood sacrifice prematurely.

Instantly, Emery's face paled, and her body went limp, as if she were leaning weakly against Julia.

In order to end the blood sacrifice ahead of schedule, this consumed a large amount of Emerald's magic power, making her feel like her body had been hollowed out. She became more delicate and frail, making Julia, who was holding her, swallow hard.

Fortunately, for Emerald, who already possesses three fused organs, such a one-time consumption of magic power, even if it drains her body, is not a big problem.

Her three fused organs have formed a preliminary resonance circuit, and her magic recovery speed is a level faster than that of ordinary fusion-stage mages. She can recover almost 5% of her maximum magic power every second. In just a few deep breaths, her magic power, which had just been exhausted, has been more than half restored.

As the effects of the blood sacrifice were forcibly terminated, the earthquake and the boiling of the lake also stopped. Then, Yogg-Sass's voice, as if his wife had been raped, came from beneath the water:

"Melson's witch! You've gone too far!"

Whoops!

The creature hidden beneath the water's surface finally emerged. It was a gigantic marine creature, with its main body exceeding 30 meters in length and its tentacles extending even further, at least 50 meters.

This is a giant squid. It has long lost its original color and is now blood red, probably because it underwent a blood sacrifice. The magical aura emanating from it is also extremely violent and evil.

The giant blood squid seemed to possess intelligence, knowing that it was Emerald who forcibly ended the blood sacrifice. From the moment it surfaced, its eyes were fixed on Emerald, filled with hatred and resentment.

Above the giant blood squid stood a creature, none other than Yogg-Soth, the squid-man leader who had previously vanished without a trace.

"……Honey."

After thinking for a moment, Amelie whispered in Julia's ear:

"See that squid spirit on top of the giant squid's head? It's yours now... Its strange ability to make people ignore and forget about it is something only you, my dear, are immune to. If I were to deal with it, it would likely escape again."

"I understand."

Yulia nodded first, then looked at the giant blood squid with great concern:

“Then, Emery, you must be very careful. My intuition tells me that this monster is extremely dangerous... I will kill that squid demon as soon as possible to help you.”

Whoosh!

As soon as she finished speaking, Julia vanished from Emerald's side and appeared almost instantly next to Yogg-Soth at a speed beyond the reach of her five senses and magical perception, delivering a punch to its squid head.

Bang!

Yogg-Soth was also a powerful being; at the last moment, it instantly cast a water shield to defend against Julia's punch. Although the water shield shattered instantly, it absorbed a significant amount of the impact, allowing Yogg-Soth to be sent flying by a single punch without sustaining serious injury.

But this punch was just Yulia's ordinary attack. With a whoosh, she disappeared from the top of the giant blood squid's head again, and appeared behind the flying Yog-Soth with lightning speed. With a twist of her slender waist, she delivered a spinning back kick, sending Yog-Soth flying once more.

Whoosh!

Once again leaving a whooshing sound in the air, Yulia appeared in Yogg-Soth's flight path a second time, this time delivering a powerful downward punch with both hands clasped together.

Snapped!

Yogg-Soth could only make the most basic defenses before being slammed into the surface of Lake Tania at extremely high speed from the air by Julia. The high-speed airflow even deformed the tentacles on its ugly squid head.

Whoosh!

Yulia used the same move, appearing first on the lake surface and raising her leg high. Her long, straight leg, encased in white stockings, was like a spear, waiting for Yog Soth, who had already been hit at several times the speed of sound, to crash into it and be pierced through his body.

But Yogg-Soth is also a squid-man, and it possesses the fighting talents that all squid-men have.

Just before Yulia's long legs were about to pierce through him, Yogg-Soth finally activated its talent, covering its entire body in that slippery liquid before crashing into Yulia's sharp toes.

Just like when the Federation soldiers used their magic blades to slash the squid-man before, the strange slippery ability prevented Yogg-Soth from suffering much piercing damage, and instead caused him to slide to Julia's side.

"Hey?"

Taking advantage of Julia's slight surprise during the air raid, Yog Soth didn't hesitate to spray out another large mouthful of ink, but instead of spraying it at Julia, he enveloped himself in it.

It wants to run away.

It only jumped out and said a few words to Ameliete because it couldn't stand it anymore. In fact, Yog-Soth had no desire to fight at all. It just wanted to take advantage of the chaos created by the giant blood squid to run away.

As it turns out, Yog-Soth's concept of magic is indeed quite impressive. Amelie, who was originally focused on its battle with Julia, immediately shifted her attention to the giant blood squid after Yog-Soth was enveloped in ink.

Even Yulia was stunned for half a second, letting Yog Soth fly hundreds of meters away.

But that's where it ends.

"Hey, you slippery squid spirit, where are you going!"

Yulia was only stunned for half a second before immediately chasing after him, ignoring Yog-Soth's conceptual spell that erased his own existence, and kicked out.

Snapped!

Caught off guard, Yog Soth was once again beaten into a ball by Yulia, and the mysterious ink covering his body was also dispersed, causing its vanished presence to reappear.

"you……!"

Yogg-Soth was now truly panicked. Its most confident trump card had never been the fighting power of the giant blood squid, but rather its own ability to survive. However, it never expected that its ability would be almost useless against Yulia.

Yulia had no intention of wasting words; she just wanted to kill Yog-Soth as quickly as possible and then help Amelie fight the giant blood squid.

Although Yug-Soth has been suppressed by Yulia, it is still a powerful creature that has reached the late stage of the third phase. It also has a slippery ability that is relatively effective against physical direct attacks. It will not be easy for Yulia to kill it completely in a short time.

the other side.

Emerald and the giant blood squid, who had been locked in a standoff using their magical perception, also broke into battle after seeing that Julia and Yogg-Soth's battlefield had moved elsewhere.

Emery was the one who got the first move.

She raised one hand upwards, palm facing the sky, and a second sun appeared in the sky for the third time. It was larger and hotter than the magical sun that had previously broken through the magical barriers of the three cities.

Then Emerald swung her raised hand down forcefully, and the blazing, enormous magical sun crashed down on the giant blood squid like a meteorite.

Super-divine magic, Sunset!

Faced with the magical sun descending from the sky, the giant blood squid remained completely unfazed, simply floating there without any reaction, not even activating a magic shield.

"...So arrogant?"

Amelie raised an eyebrow, somewhat annoyed, and secretly infused the Spell Sun with another wave of magic, while simultaneously accelerating its descent.

Immediately, the spell "Sun" struck the giant blood squid, but missed.

The enormous, scorching sun passed directly through the giant blood squid, as if it were merely hitting a phantom, before crashing into the surface of Lake Tania, instantly evaporating a large amount of water and causing the water level to drop by more than 10 meters.

Whizzing!

Seemingly believing that Emery was at her weakest after casting the spell, the giant blood squid launched an attack with its tentacles.

However, the two tentacles couldn't even get within 50 meters of Emerald before they were sliced ​​and shredded by the flying light blades, turning into countless squid pieces that fell into the lake. They were quickly cooked by the already boiling lake water, emitting a strange smell.

Then dozens of celestial wings spread out around Emeralt. As Emeralt locked onto the giant blood squid with her radiant golden right eye, dozens of holy light bullets exploded on the giant blood squid.

Unlike a sunset, this ordinary holy light projectile doesn't need to maintain the shape of the sun. It can be bypassed by Emeryte's special ability, allowing it to directly hit the target.

However, just as the holy light appeared at the location of the giant blood squid, Emerald sensed that something was wrong, as if a target that had been locked in the game had suddenly disappeared.

As expected, the subsequent explosions of the Holy Light Bullets failed to inflict any effective damage on the giant blood squid, hitting only the phantom.

"What kind of ability is this?... Intangibility? A spatial ability?"

Amelie frowned. The giant blood squid's behavior immediately reminded her of the ability of a one-eyed lunatic in a famous anime from her past life.

Although Amelie herself didn't have a deep understanding of spatial magic, she could still recognize spatial fluctuations. This didn't seem like spatial magic.

More importantly, the entire Financial Triangle region has been placed under spatial blockade by the grand mages of the Lohid family, making spatial magic unusable... Even if it were possible, those old men wouldn't be able to remain unaffected.

Therefore, it shouldn't be a space-based ability.

But if it's not a space-based ability, what other ability would produce this kind of effect?

Emery frowned slightly as she pondered. After all, this was a monster that had never appeared in the original game, so she could only analyze the information on the spot.

But the giant blood squid isn't the kind of villain you see in children's action movies, where it just stands there dumbly while the protagonist analyzes information.

Seeing that Amelie was thinking, it opened its mouth without hesitation and sprayed a beam of blood towards Amelie's location.

Amelie's eyes flickered a few times. She had several ways to avoid this attack or eliminate it, but she chose neither. Instead, she pushed forward with one palm, unleashing a golden holy magic cannon that clashed with the giant blood squid.

It wasn't for any passion or romance; Emery wanted to use the direct collision between her magic and the giant blood squid's magic to more easily analyze the giant blood squid's abilities.

However, the exchange of energy between the two lasted less than a minute before the giant blood squid made a new move.

The giant blood squid chunks that had been chopped into pieces by Emerald's floating light blades, though cooked by the boiling lake water, were still alive. Now, under the control of the giant blood squid, they all floated to the surface and went ashore into the city.

After entering the three cities on the shores of Lake Tania, the chunks of flesh emitted even more bloody light, absorbing the corpses and parts of the squid-men in the cities, just as they had absorbed the sacrificial cubs before. Before long, they had cleared away all the squid-men corpses from the battlefield ruins.

Finally, the chunks of flesh began to deform again in the bloody light, turning into blood-red squid-men who then began to attack the Federal soldiers and officers in the city.

The federal soldiers who had been ordered to hide in the bunkers could only fight back, but after engaging in combat, they found that they were no match for the enemy.

Most of those blood-red squid-men had reached the peak of the second stage, and some who had absorbed a lot of corpses had even entered the third stage, possessing the strength of an ancient dragon-level monster.

This was a force that ordinary federal soldiers could not contend with, and they soon began to suffer heavy casualties, with many soldiers falling to the ground in the attack of the Crimson Squid Men.

Although Judy, the commander of the Federation Army, had advanced to the Fusion stage, she was just an average genius and couldn't compare to Emerald and Julia. It was very difficult for her to fight two Crimson Squidmen who were equivalent to Ancient Dragon-level monsters at the same time.

Left with no other option, Judy had to unleash her ultimate weapon once again:

"Help me, Emerald! If this keeps up, my entire army will be wiped out!"

"...Sigh, senior, you really are such a weakling...always asking for help, how can I feel comfortable marrying my cute little brother to you?"

That's what they say, but in reality, Emerald couldn't possibly watch the entire Federation army be wiped out. After all, these soldiers were actually doing her personal work in this battle, and their deaths would damage her reputation.

So while continuing to maintain the holy cannon fire and the giant blood squid's wave attack with her right hand, Amelie pointed her left hand at the nearest city battlefield, and immediately a crack filled with golden holy light appeared in mid-air.

puff!

Dozens of kilometers away in the clouds, a skeleton that seemed to be watching the show but was actually brought in by Emery to prevent any accidents suddenly burst out laughing, followed by a sarcastic remark:

"This girl... just how well has she mastered the necromancy I taught her? This is the first time I've ever seen someone's undead space radiating holy light..."

As the golden rift opened, all the elite undead belonging to Ameliete appeared on the battlefield and joined the battle.

The first to appear is the swordswoman, who has the strongest overall strength.

The three-foot-long sword in her hand gleamed coldly, and her fairy robes flowed gracefully. Every slash or thrust of her sword was like a dance, making it hard to imagine that she was actually an undead warrior. Everyone thought she was a powerful fairy from an Eastern kingdom.

Next up is the undead beauty.

Her alluring smoke was very effective on humans, but not so effective on the Crimson Squid Man, who was clearly a monster. So she could only use her folding fan as a weapon for close combat. Although her performance was not as dazzling as the Sword Woman's, she was still a third-stage Enlightenment Realm expert. After joining the battle, she instantly relieved a lot of pressure on the Federation soldiers.

Next up is the undead Aya-hime.

Her own strength is not as good as her mother and the swordswoman, and she is still only in the second stage, but she dealt massive damage as soon as she appeared, and her popularity even surpassed that of the stronger swordswoman and the beautiful girl.

Because her innate ability, which unconditionally increases the effects of items and equipment by 30%, is really very useful.

In her left hand was a microphone made from the vocal cords of the fused organs of Mondori, and in her right hand was the Demon-Slaying Bell, a top-grade magic weapon she had snatched from Ye Bufan; both belonged to the sound system.

So the first thing the undead Ayahime did upon her appearance was to forcefully ring a bell with a microphone.

when!

As the bell rang, the demon-quelling bell's golden light and Mondori's vocal cords' sonic attack power merged perfectly, like waves sweeping away sand and gravel, instantly killing ordinary blood-red squidmen within thousands of meters. Even two blood-red squidmen with the strength of ancient dragon-level monsters were severely injured and unable to rise again for a time.

Unfortunately, the undead Ayahime's strength was still too weak. She lost her fighting ability after ringing the bell once and needed to rest for a while. Otherwise, she would most likely have been able to clean up the battlefield on her own.

Fortunately, Ameliete's elite undead also have another powerful source of firepower: the Dragonbone Fighter, which can launch dragon breath missiles.

Of course, the Dragonbone Fighter has now been given a divine skin by Amelie. Although the main material is still dragon bone, the appearance has been completely changed to silver metal. It doesn't look like the creation of an evil necromancer at all, but more like a divine artifact borrowed from the divine kingdom by the saintess.

The Shadow Dragon's Breath, capable of scorching souls, is equally effective against the Crimson Squid Demons. Although it is still not as powerful as the Demon-Slaying Bell's Golden Light, it can easily kill a Crimson Squid Demon with a single shot.

If the reinforcements who emerged from the golden rift earlier were somewhat strange, the last elite undead black knight to appear perfectly matched people's imagination of the saintess.

Oh, she should be called the Holy Silver Knight now.

The black armor that looked so sinister had been turned into a bright silver one, and its curves had been specially designed to accentuate the wearer's figure.

The large, square, black shield in his hand, which resembled a door panel, had also turned bright silver, with a golden sun engraved on it.

state!

As the Silver Knight slammed his shield into the ground, a powerful crimson squid-man who had just knocked down several Federation soldiers and was about to finish them off was suddenly forced to divert his attention and target, throwing his blood-red blade at the Silver Knight's shield.
