Sakura Emma, ​​I'm going to control you fiercely!

Although you can't attack midway, and you'll lose most of your combat abilities once you run out of magic, it's more than enough to just dodge attacks.

Click to continue the game.

Just then, Mag looked thoughtfully at the magical girls outside the barrier, and chuckled softly.

"I wonder... what kind of despair they'll feel when they see their idol, the magical girl Emma Sakuraba, defeated or even killed by me?"

Marg gently licked her lips.

"It's so delicious..."

All the magical girls outside the barrier whispered:

"Slut."*n

Marg clicked her tongue and quietly waited for the magical girls to bestow various blessings upon Emma.

The two sides stared at each other, plunging the empty platform into a deathly silence.

With her hands clasped behind her back, the miniature gems seemed to form a galaxy in her palm.

The colorful light emanating from Emma's body became increasingly abundant, like something out of a web game.

As Hannah infused Emma with the last ray of green light.

Emma's health bar was surrounded by a dense array of colorful buff icons.

Mag looked at the almost blindingly bright buff effect and his eye twitched.

“The pre-battle monkey show is over.” Inside the barrier, Emma slowly raised her head.

Emma looked at Margaret with the eyes of someone eyeing a lamb to the slaughter, and coldly uttered two words:

"Activate the attack."

"Oh."

Marg looked at Emma with a smile on his lips, but his eyes were terrifyingly serious.

The next second—she raised her hand: in her palm was a galaxy formed from miniature gemstones.

Then, the galaxies transformed into an ocean of jewels and rushed towards Yang Wen!

Volume 1: Chapter 74 Tips for Defeating Humanoid Bosses

During his playthrough of "The Judgment of Gods," Yang Wen observed that the game took the stiffness of humanoid bosses and large bosses to an extreme level.

Large bosses—such as wreckage—generally don't freeze up. This is unless it's a magic-interfering technique like [Gravity Arrow].

But the witch, this humanoid boss, is a pure glass cannon. While her health is low, her attack power and aggression are ridiculously high, and her shield is thick. Moreover, her health bar won't drop at all unless her shield is broken.

However, their shields are not permanent; they are a skill that needs to be actively applied.

Moreover, after the shield is broken, being hit by a basic attack will basically cause the user to become stunned.

Therefore, when faced with Mag's wide-area screen-clearing skill, [Gem Wave], Yang Wen felt that the best way to deal with it was not to dodge.

Instead, it creates a stun.

Sparkling gems erupted from the "galaxy" in Mag's hands. Thousands upon thousands of glittering stones transformed into an ocean of skills in the literal sense!

Blinding the sky and the sun, with nowhere to retreat, this was the true reflection of Yang Wen's state of mind at this moment.

The girls watching from the sidelines, seeing Emma choose to confront such an attack head-on from the very beginning, exclaimed...

"Emma!"

Admittedly, they bestowed many blessings upon Emma, ​​but there needs to be some leeway in doing so.

Emma looked up at the scene but did not make the slightest move.

She chose to quietly activate the [Parasitic Seed] that she had secretly planted in Mag when she was in the music hall.

Sensitivity: 300%

This is—a hard crowd control interruption of skill casting!

Marg, who was still unleashing the jeweled waves, was initially wary of what Emma Sakura, who was standing still, was planning to do.

dong dong!

Suddenly, her heart started racing!

This is... what it feels like to be infected!

Her whole body felt hot, and a strong sense of stimulation assaulted all her senses, causing her to slightly curl her thighs.

Although the effect on her was only momentary, her ability to control magic was slowed down by half a beat!

Noah, who was watching from the sidelines, blinked.

"Why is Senior Mag's face so red? And why is she clenching her fists so tightly..."

"Oops……!"

Marg overheard the magical girls' conversation and felt rather uneasy.

In addition, there was the interference of that strange heat sensation in her body. By the time Marg realized what was happening, it was too late:

The gemstone waves that were originally enough to submerge the entire barrier suddenly became chaotic and turbulent, with gaps appearing everywhere!

Meanwhile, Yang Wen found a way to deal with the full-screen AOE attack!

He guided Emma to find a gap in the jeweled waves...

When Marg finished filling the gap in the waves, Emma Sakura, who was already at the gap, suddenly disappeared.

Marg recalled Emma Sakura's ability to teleport.

Just as she expected: Marg sensed a sense of danger coming from behind her.

She turned around and looked.

Right in front of you is Emma Sakura's expressionless, punchable face!

Emma held a sturdy arrow, as hard as a spear, in her left hand, and in her right hand... a white-level echo?

"White-level Echo?!"

Marg couldn't help but laugh in exasperation.

This guy's planning to use a white-tier Echo on her? That's seriously underestimating her.

It's just a matter of a shield.

Emma, ​​with her eyelids drooping, said, "Just help me check my backpack."

She had a whole bunch of white-grade and non-white-grade wreckage and echoes of dropped familiars in her backpack, and she had absolutely no idea what to do with them.

At least half of them were one-off responses.

Taking advantage of the presence of Mag, the humanoid boss, Yang Wen decided to make use of it: he used the one-time echoes to stun the enemy, lower their health, and save mana.

Marg stopped watching the jeweled waves and focused intently on increasing the distance between herself and Emma Sakura.

This guy's close-combat abilities last time truly opened my eyes. Even if he's currently at full power, Mag thinks it's best not to be reckless.

Emma thrust out her spear with her right hand without hesitation.

At this moment, Mag's shield was fully formed, completely enveloping his entire body.

To Marg's surprise, the long, hard arrows actually created ripples when they struck her shield!

Mag could clearly feel that this fluctuation was interfering with the magical composition and operation of the shield, making the shield slightly unstable!

The next moment, this blue-level shield was actually momentarily disintegrated by this simple thrust!

【Gravity Arrow - Penetration】

Although the shield was broken only for a moment, Emma still seized the opportunity and released a white-level echo.

The echo, shaped like a ball of yarn, dispersed and transformed into countless threads that coiled around Mag.

"Tsk..."

Mag's shield was still reeling from the aftershocks of the spear and had not yet fully recovered, so he had to temporarily avoid the attack.

And so, in Hannah's view, the situation turned into a familiar one.

Emma continuously unleashed echo attacks from behind.

If Mag conjures a shield, Emma counters it with a shockwave from her spear. Then she launches another attack.

Meanwhile, Mag repeatedly created distance, formed a shield, and created distance again...

Although her main body wasn't hit much, the aftershocks of [Echo] kept disturbing her!

For a moment, the witch was completely overwhelmed by Emma's attack!

Watching Mag's standardized BOSS combo of "creating distance - casting a shield - preparing to unleash a powerful attack," Yang Wen let out a cold laugh.

He had already seen enough of this kind of action module in Sekiro and Sword Star.

He skillfully typed on the keyboard, controlling Emma to unleash a combo that caused her to freeze in mid-air:

First, use a basic attack with your spear to break the shield. Then immediately open your inventory and throw out those low-level junk Echoes that take up space, like knockback grenades in "Sword Star" to stun them; just as the BOSS stands up to counterattack, interrupt him again with your spear... and repeat this cycle!

It's similar to the truancy techniques in "Sword Star":

Use knockback grenades to stun the boss, then unleash a barrage of attacks; wait for the boss to stand up, then use grenades to stun it again, then unleash another barrage of attacks... and repeat this process.

This is... a wheelchair fighting style!

"Heh, humanoid BOSSes are just so good at skipping class."

Margot: "You...you always use these weird tricks!"

Emma: "Stop talking nonsense, just freeze right now."

Magical girls: "..."

A student standing nearby asked,

"Why does the witch look like she's running away with her head in her hands? Could it be that she's very weak?"

No, that's not it.

Noah responded,

"The true form of a witch is just like our magical girls: both are extremely fragile."

"What Emma did was to directly attack the most vulnerable part of the body, which of course made the witch try her best to dodge."

Hannah was silent for a moment, then said, "So... what you call 'rigidity'?"

"Please! There's no such thing as stiffness here! Emma is just too outrageous!" Noah twitched his lips slightly.

Magical girls and witches fighting like this?!

It should be that both sides confront each other with the belief that they are doomed to die, while observing each other's weaknesses. Then, the light of good and the darkness of evil intertwine and flicker, fighting fiercely until the sky and earth darken. In the end, one side should perish.

The fast-paced battle between the two can usually be over in less than a minute.

But... this "scraping" technique Emma used was something the magical girls had never seen before!

Although it wasn't very expressive and was quite opportunistic... it was surprisingly effective!

The witch's demeanor had visibly softened, no longer displaying the same sharp edge as before.

--"but……"

The blue-haired magical girl stroked her chin. "If Emma keeps using Echo, the fight will eventually end. How will she handle it then?"

How to deal with it?

This question became a question in everyone's mind.

In the first minute of Emma's pursuit of Mag, they were worried about what would happen if Emma ran out of Echoes.

By the second minute, the magical girls gradually realized something was wrong.

In everyone's eyes, Emma's doll is like Doraemon's four-dimensional pocket, with endless white-level echoes.

Emma, ​​on the other hand, was like a worker on an assembly line, frantically throwing all sorts of echoes at Mag at an extremely high frequency.

A tattered ball of yarn, a rusty frying pan, and even half a rubber stick of unknown purpose... rained down on the mighty [Phantom Witch].

Despite the enemy being a witch, and despite the enemy being a blue-level enemy, they were completely suppressed by the "trash" thrown by Emma.
