What else is there to say? Let's call for help right away!

Fortunately, Emerald had recently upgraded the communication technology of the Allen Federation, and now the Federation Army had hired many Scarlet Moon sisters to serve as communications soldiers in each unit, which allowed the news to be transmitted back immediately.

Yulia, who was beating up two stupid thieves at the time, rushed to the scene after receiving the news. This stabilized the already precarious defensive line of the punitive expeditionary force, allowing the ordinary soldiers of the expeditionary legion to withdraw from the front line of battle, leaving only the strong to continue fighting at the source of the demonic tide.

"Now that you're here, Miss, there's really nothing to be afraid of."

After reporting the situation to Emery, the commander also took the opportunity to flatter her:

"In fact, Lady Julia is incredibly brave. I feel that she alone could break through this level 7 magic tide... Our Allen Federation is no longer the Allen Federation of hundreds of years ago."

"...Let me go and check the situation first. The reason why a level 7 demonic tide is the most terrible disaster is not because the monsters in the tide are so strong."

Emerald remained noncommittal about the Commander's optimism:

"Continue your mission and don't let your guard down... If you encounter a powerful monster, try to buy time and wait for rescue."

"Yes, Miss!"

The commander gave Emery one last respectful salute before watching her float gently towards the area where the demonic tide was erupting.

Less than 10 seconds after crossing the boundary line of the demon horde, Emerald was able to see the monster's corpse.

The number of monsters that have reached the second stage of strength, which is the dragon level, is so large that it is almost impossible to see any weaker low-level monsters. This is considered one of the signs of a high-level monster tide.

The vast majority of these monster corpses died from pure magical explosions, likely caused by artillery fire from the various magical weapons of the demonic tide extermination legion.

A small number were cut or even torn apart by distinctive attack methods, while others were frozen into ice shards or turned into pus, likely from a casual strike by powerful individuals.

If you continue for another ten kilometers or so, you will see the corpses of ancient dragon-level monsters, and there are quite a few of them, more than ten at a time. No wonder it was classified as a level 7 monster tide.

While ancient dragon-level monsters are generally no match for human cultivators of the same level, when they possess a numerical advantage of 3 to 2 or even more, they can easily inflict casualties on strong human warriors, or even wipe out an entire human team.

Of the dozen or so ancient dragon-level monsters that Emerald had encountered along the way, it was unlikely that the expedition team could defeat them without a strong member who had grasped the concept of magic or possessed the three fused organs.

The fact that all 10-plus ancient dragon-level monsters have now turned into corpses is clearly the work of one person, and the cause of death is very familiar to Emerald.

They all died from having their vital parts shattered or even most of their bodies broken by pure and extreme power; they must have all been hit by Yulia's fists.

For example, there was a giant centipede that was over 50 meters long. It was said to have extremely strong vitality, and as long as a part of its body was intact, it could absorb the power of the demonic tide and be reborn.

But it still died. It was punched into dust by a tremendous force, leaving not even a decent piece of its body. However, Emerald still managed to deduce its existence through analysis of residual magic.

As you continue forward, you'll see more and more corpses of ancient dragon-level monsters killed by Yulia, even exceeding 30... This alone is enough to determine that this is a level 7 monster tide, because the number of ancient dragon-level monsters in a level 6 monster tide never exceeds 10.

However, Julia clearly enjoyed the fight. From the residual force of her punches on the corpses, Amelie could sense that Julia was very excited while hitting them. It must have been that the soft and cuddly Amelie had given Julia another boost through emotional value on their wedding night the day before.

When we were still about 10 kilometers away from the center of the demonic tide, the ground was already shaking like some power tools. It must have been all the aftershocks of the battle at the center. You can imagine how intense the battle there must have been.

"Young...Young Miss!"

Just as Amelie was about to hurry to the center of the demonic tide to check on the situation, she heard a slightly hoarse cry for help.

Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw a man lying next to a broken tree stump. The man also only had his upper body, but he was not dead. At least he was shouting "Emerite!" loudly.

"You're that... master of verbal sparring?"

Amelie sized up the man for a few seconds and recognized him; he was a teammate who had fought alongside her in the battle to conquer the Dao Ancestor of the main peak of Yunshan.

"Yes, it's me... Miss, could you do me a favor?"

The man grimaced, first pointing to his still-bleeding severed waist, then to a direction clearly ravaged by some force:

"I was cut in half at the waist by the Demon Tide Lord in the previous battle, and my lower half was blown away somewhere in the aftershocks of the explosion... Could you help me find it?"

"..."

Amelie examined the man's severed waist for a few moments, then turned and continued walking forward, simultaneously raising her hand and unleashing a beam of holy light:

"No need to look for it anymore, but I can make you a new one... Once you're recovered, you can retreat to the rear to rest and help the military deal with any remaining fugitives."

Before she could finish speaking, the holy light in Amelie's hand enveloped the man, transforming into pure life energy that allowed his body from the waist down to regenerate rapidly.

"Wow... Young lady's holy magic has reached this level? This is almost as good as the Flame of Life... Amazing."

Sensing his body rapidly regenerating in the holy light, the man sighed and, following Amelie's orders, headed away from the center of the demonic tide to rejoin the punitive legion.

Meanwhile, Emerald finally entered the battlefield at the heart of the demonic tide.

It was initially thought that a large number of powerful warriors, led by Yulia, were besieging the Demon Tide Lord, but it turned out that Yulia was fighting the Demon Tide Lord one-on-one. The two were engaged in a high-speed exchange of blows, and each collision of their attacks caused an earthquake, which is why the ground was shaking continuously.

Meanwhile, those powerful figures who were supposed to besiege the Demon Tide Lord alongside Yulia were now lying haphazardly around the battlefield. Each of them, like that talkative powerhouse, had parts of their bodies severed by some extremely sharp attack.

The Demon Lord who was fighting against Yulia was a giant spider, standing over 30 meters tall, with each of its legs about the width of a small car.

Now, two of the eight spider legs are used to support the body, while the remaining six are all like fists, clashing with Yulia's fist. Each collision triggers an explosive shockwave, tearing up the surrounding ground many times over, and plants and animals have long since disappeared.

The giant spider appeared to be more ferocious, but Yulia clearly had the upper hand. She remained calm and composed, while the giant spider had cracks at the joints of many of its legs, and green blood was constantly seeping from its body... If the fight continued, it would most likely be shattered by Yulia.

So Emerald didn't rush to help Julia and let her continue to indulge in battle. Instead, she first used holy magic to heal the other powerful warriors lying on the ground and asked what had happened.

"Young Miss, be careful... be careful of its spider silk! It's a spatial slash!"

After her legs were reattached by holy light, a female archmage from the Lohid family hurriedly reminded Amelie.

At the very moment she gave the warning, a spider silk so thin it was almost invisible to the naked eye, yet carrying spatial fluctuations, slashed toward Amelie's neck at incredible speed, attempting to sever her head and turn her into a headless young lady.

Chapter 383 The Really Troublesome Problem

Attacks with spatial attributes are inherently more difficult to defend against than other attacks, not to mention that this spatial slash is in the form of spider silk, so fine that it cannot be observed with the naked eye, and it is extremely fast.

The Lohid female mage's warning came a little too late. The spider silk with spatial slashing properties had already hit Amelie, easily slicing through three layers of magic shields and severing her head, turning her into a headless young lady.

However, neither the still-standing body nor the rolled-on head shed a single drop of blood, and no flesh or blood could be seen from the cut; all that remained was a golden crystalline substance.

It is a divine crystal avatar.

This is a sacred magic that Emerald developed with the help of the Elf Queen, inspired by the substitution technique from a famous anime from her previous life. It allows her to teleport and hide when attacked, leaving behind a crystalline clone to absorb the attack and confuse the opponent.

In her battle with Tianyin in space orbit, Amelie used this move to dodge hundreds of attacks from the Divine Firmament Sword, and today she also dodged the giant spider's spatial spider silk slash.

The other powerful figures lying on the ground nearby were not particularly surprised, as they had never believed that a mere spatial slash could defeat Amelie.

But Julia was different. Even though she knew that the one who was killed was just a substitute, witnessing Emerald's head being turned around still made her blush a little, after all, she had just married Emerald yesterday.

"You stinking spider! How dare you ambush Emerald? You're asking for it!"

Yulia, who was still exchanging blows with the giant spider, suddenly increased her strength and almost instantly shattered all six spider legs with pure power, also shaking cracks into the spider's carapace.

That wasn't all. After breaking the giant spider's six legs used for attack, Yulia pressed her advantage with a stance similar to Iron Mountain Lean, directly ramming into the giant spider. The little girl, less than 1.7 meters tall, knocked the over 30-meter-tall giant spider to the ground.

Then Yulia jumped up again and clenched her fist down at the giant spider once more.

"I don't understand any of your weird spatial abilities, but I know you'll definitely die if I punch you like this! Heh!"

The strongest magic is faith. Yulia doesn't know any magic, so her magic is purer than anyone else's.

click!

The spatial barrier on the giant spider, which normally requires knowledge of spatial magic to break through, was shattered by a punch imbued with Yulia's conviction. The immense force then acted directly on the giant spider, and the aftershocks of the power flowing through its body into the earth triggered a violent earthquake powerful enough to destroy a city.

Boom boom boom boom!

After the tremors subsided, the giant spider that had seemed so strong before was now in pieces, completely shattered by Yulia's pure power.

"Hmph, a mere level 7 demonic tide is nothing special."

Standing beside the fragments of the giant spider, the lord of the demonic tide, Yulia stood with her hands on her hips, swinging her golden twin tails, extremely proud of herself.

Her pride was not without reason; judging from the way those ancient dragon-level monsters died, it was clear that she had almost single-handedly defeated this level 7 monster tide.

Just then, those powerful individuals who were lying on the ground because their bodies had been cut open were healed one by one by Amelie using holy magic. They then offered words of praise to Julia, much like how casual players in online games on Earth would shout "666" to the pros after clearing a dungeon.

Almost everyone was immersed in the joy of successfully defeating the level 7 demonic tide, except for Emeralt, who did not show much joy. Instead, she used her bright golden right eye to carefully observe the central area of ​​the demonic tide.

"Hmm... Emerald?"

Julia was the first to notice Emerald's unusual behavior. She quickly jumped over, put her two heads behind her back, tilted her head, and asked:

"What's wrong? What problem have you discovered this time?"

"...It's too early to say."

Emerald shook her head thoughtfully, then, after a moment's thought, she gave the order directly to the military communications officer via Suzuran:

"Tell the commander in charge of this demonic surge not to lift the area alert yet, and to send another technical team with the most advanced equipment and instruments."

"Yes, Miss!"

The communications officer immediately responded and went to relay Amelie's orders.

About ten minutes later, a small airship less than 5 meters long appeared on the horizon and quickly landed beside the group. Three researchers in white coats and two strong soldiers responsible for carrying the magical devices stepped out.

After greeting Emerald, the three researchers listened to her instructions and began operating the instruments.

After scanning, measuring, and calculating a series of parameters, one of the researchers began to break out in a cold sweat. He then quickly walked over to Emery and bowed deeply.

"Young Miss is indeed insightful... Your guess was absolutely right, this wave of demonic energy is not over yet."

"What? The demonic tide isn't over yet?"

Yulia stared wide-eyed at the scene. She looked at her fist, then at the fragments of the Demon Tide Lord scattered on the ground, and asked in confusion:

"But I killed all the ancient dragon-level monsters in this demonic tide, and even the demonic tide lord is now shattered. How can it not be over yet? Could it be that there is something even more powerful than the demonic tide lord in the level 7 demonic tide?"

"That's not there."

The lead researcher shook his head:

"All the monsters in this wave of demonic energy have indeed been killed, but the power of the demonic energy here shows no signs of dissipating. Instead, it is beginning to gestate a new wave of demonic energy, just like when the wave first started to form... If our calculations are correct, in about 16 hours, these slain demonic lords and all the monsters will be reborn because of the power of the demonic energy."

"what?"

Yulia paused for a moment, then clenched her fist again:

"If that's the case, why not just disperse this demonic tide and prevent it from giving birth to these demons again?"

As soon as she said this, Yulia noticed that everyone was looking at her strangely, as if they wanted to call her stupid but didn't dare to.

But Emerald didn't have that concern; she simply pinched Julia's cheek.

"My little fool... If the power of the demonic tide can really be dispersed as you say, why do we always patiently wait for the demonic tide to form before we attack it? If we disperse the gathered power of the demonic tide before it forms, wouldn't there be no demonic tide in the world?"

"Oh yeah..."

Yulia then looked enlightened, and scratched her head sheepishly, realizing that her question had indeed been a bit silly.

After hesitating for a moment, Yulia asked again:

"Why can't we disperse that demonic tide? Is it because it's not powerful enough?"

"Well... I guess that's both right and wrong."

No one else dared to answer the question casually, so only Emerald could explain:

"Honey, let me ask you something. You're very strong, right? Can you completely wipe out the magic in a certain area, turning it into a permanently magic-free zone?"

"That definitely won't work, because magic is constantly circulating. Even if I could wipe out the magic in an area with one punch, new magic would immediately replenish it through the circulation. Unless I can destroy the magic circulation of this world... Ah!"

As Yulia answered, she gradually understood:

"Ameliete, are you saying that the power of the demonic tide is actually similar to magic power, and also exists in the cyclical system of this world? Even if it is scattered, it will reassemble. It can only wait for the demonic tide to be generated on its own and then be annihilated to consume it?"

"Honey, aren't you smart? You've already learned to apply what you've learned to other situations."

Emery smiled and nodded, then continued to explain:

"The Federation's experts and scholars have never stopped researching the power of the Demon Tide. Everyone wants to completely eliminate the Demon Tide disaster from its root, but unfortunately, there has been no breakthrough progress to date... We don't know where the power of the Demon Tide comes from, let alone how to control this power. We can only wait for it to gestate into a Demon Tide and be consumed."

"Other demonic tides, that is, level 1 to 6 demonic tides, will exhaust their own demonic tide power after they are generated. We only need to annihilate all the demons in the demonic tide to solve the corresponding demonic tide disaster."

“But the level 7 demonic tide is different. I discovered this when I arrived. The power of the demonic tide here is like magic power, constantly forming a cycle with the entire world. Even if all the demons that are spawned are killed, the power of the demonic tide here will not dissipate. Instead, it will condense a large amount of demonic tide power again as the cycle continues, spawning a new demonic tide.”

"This is also the truly troublesome aspect of the Level 7 Demon Tide. It's not that the monsters it breeds are strong, but that they are very difficult to completely eliminate... With the limited combat power of our human civilization, fighting against infinitely regenerating monsters, even if we are stronger, the situation is definitely not optimistic."

"This..."

The other powerful individuals and the three researchers exchanged glances. They remained silent, but they were all clearly thinking of the method used in the Federation's history to completely annihilate a Level 7 demonic tide.

By using a powerful attack called the "Ultimate Weapon," this area can be completely reduced to nothingness and debris, thus preventing the demonic tide from gathering.

But what exactly is this "ultimate weapon" attack? No one except Melson and the core members of the Lohid family knows, but everyone knows that this attack comes at a great cost and requires significant sacrifices.

“There’s no need to use the [Ultimate Weapon]. After all, I’m still with the Federation. Even if I can’t completely eliminate the Level 7 Demon Tide for the time being, I can seal it away first.”

Emery, sensing what everyone was thinking, smiled slightly, her voice full of confidence:
