The villain daughter did all kinds of things

Although attacking undead creatures with necromantic magic would result in significant damage loss, this method of attacking by shooting into their bodies and then exploding still caused considerable damage to the four-armed fleshy ball, blowing away a lot of its flesh.

!

The cracks beneath the four massive fleshy spheres roared as they spewed out more poisonous gas, using the recoil to lift themselves into the air in an attempt to catch up with the skeletal delta-wing fighter.

Just then, Emerald used her magic to repair the female captain's undead spirit, and the female captain's undead spirit once again taunted the four-armed giant fleshy ball.

So the four-armed giant fleshy ball that had just taken off had no choice but to land again, continuing to unleash its fury on the female captain's undead with its axe and hammer... and then it was bombarded again by the bone spike missiles of the white bone delta-wing fighter.

The subsequent battles were pretty much the same, like fighting a boss in an online game. The four-armed giant fleshy ball was held back tightly by the female captain's undead form, while the white bone delta-wing fighter jets unleashed their full power.

Even though the four-armed giant flesh ball was actually much stronger than the female captain, the undead, and the bone delta-wing fighter, it was still getting more and more seriously injured. Its body was full of holes, and the dark green blood inside it had almost drained away. It could only fall down helplessly.

Of course, if the old lich Granny Ya was willing to expend her magic, she could instantly repair the four-armed fleshy ball just like Amelie repaired the female captain's undead, but that would make the battle take a very long time, several days and nights.

So, although Grandma Ya was somewhat disapproving of Emerald's fighting style, she still announced that Emerald had successfully passed the test.

"Your spell called [Dead Soul Fusion] is quite interesting. Give me a copy of the spell's detailed information later."

After the assessment, the old lich showed no awareness of his role as the teacher and immediately demanded to take Amelie's work for free.

"no problem."

Amelie readily agreed.

After all, she came to ask the old lich for help. The more benefits the old lich takes from her, the harder it will be for him to refuse her request... The crystal of despair and resentment made from Jack's soul will definitely be very attractive to the old lich, but it may not necessarily make him take action.

"Hum~"

The old lich clearly guessed that Amelie needed his help on this trip, and he wasn't in a hurry.

She reached out and grabbed Amelie's shoulder again, activating the teleportation within the mage tower and bringing Amelie to a new floor.

This floor should be where the old lich rests. You can see a lot of entertainment items, and even the latest graphic novels with heavy monster themes.

The old lich certainly didn't bring Amelie to look at the picture book with her. Her skeletal body sat languidly on a jade bed, and she took out a makeup box and opened it. Inside the box was a toothbrush and a box of very white and fine high-grade pearl powder.

Picking up a toothbrush, dipping it in pearl powder, the old lich brushed it onto his bones as he casually remarked:

"Tell me, Ellie, what brings you here today?"

"I want you, Grandma Ya, to help me destroy a ship and make it look like a shipwreck, so that people will think it was done by pirates and monsters."

Amelie didn't beat around the bush and said it directly; she knew the old lich's personality well—he liked to be straightforward.

"Tch, this kind of work again..."

There was a hint of disdain in the old lich's voice:

"I thought it was you who finally couldn't contain your ambition after breaking through to the Fusion stage and wanted to turn the Allen Federation into the Melson Empire... You were all ready to land with your undead army, but it turns out it's just a small job like taking down a ship? How boring... Do I really need to handle such a trivial matter personally? You could have just hired a couple of pirate gangs on the island, couldn't you?"

“If it’s just an ordinary boat, there’s no need to trouble you, Grandma Ya…”

Amelie smiled and walked over to the old lich, took the toothbrush from the old lich's hand, and personally brushed pearl powder onto her bones a few times. Then she lowered her head and whispered but clearly explained her detailed request.

"...Oh? There are quite a few powerful and influential people on that ship, and there's also someone in the integration phase?"

The old lich's voice then showed some interest:

"This is definitely worth trying out myself... um."

The old lich, who had initially intended to agree immediately, seemed to have thought of something else, and his tone became somewhat hesitant:

"Does your grandfather know about this? Does he agree with it? If so many powerful and influential people die at once, it will definitely have a significant impact on the Federation, right? I don't want your grandfather nagging me about it."

"Ah this..."

Amélie gritted her teeth, knowing the hardest part was yet to come:

“My grandfather doesn’t know. This is entirely a personal matter of mine… So I’d like to ask you, Granny Ya, to keep this a secret after you’re done. Don’t tell my grandfather or the rest of the family, just like you never told them about my true cultivation talent and strength.”

"What? Your grandfather doesn't know? That's going to be difficult..."

The old lich immediately chuckled, his tone becoming much more cheerful:

“You know, although I’ve been nominally exiled by the family, I’ve always been a member… We have to consider the family’s interests when we act. This matter will definitely cause quite a stir in the Federation, and a stable Federation is what the family needs right now, so…”

The old lich began to lecture, which made Amelie purse her lips.

...Stop joking, old man! Back when you wanted to massacre a city just because you didn't have enough materials to practice magic, did you ever consider the family's interests? To put it bluntly, all you wanted was more money!

Amelie was no stranger to this kind of thing; she had promised the old lich something in order to keep her true talent and strength a secret.

Now it's time to offer a reward that will tempt the old lich.

With a soft sigh, Emerald took out the dark purple crystal, a crystal of despair and resentment forged from Jack's soul:

"Look, Grandma, you recognize this, right? If you're willing to help me this time, it's yours."

"Oh?"

The old lich snatched the crystal away and examined it closely for a few seconds in front of the empty eye sockets of her skull:

"Good stuff...it really is good stuff...but why does this aura seem so familiar? Little Ellie, where did you get this?"

"It's a coincidence, I suppose."

Emery shrugged:

“A few days ago, some nobody somehow obtained demonic power and allowed it to modify his body, turning him into a grotesque creature that was neither human nor demon, before trying to assassinate me… After I killed him, I did some follow-up processing on his soul and obtained this crystal.”

"Demon power? So it was him... Tch, come to think of it, it should have been mine in the first place, but I didn't expect you, Ellie, to steal it halfway through."

The old lich seemed to understand instantly and said irritably.

"Oh? What's going on?"

Emery pressed for more information.

She wasn't worried that the old lich would simply take the crystal for free. There's always been a rule in magic material collection: whoever gets it first gets it. No matter how long you keep an eye on it, it won't make a difference.

"You know I'm a lich, and I have a huge demand for this kind of thing. Of course, it would be even better to have a stable means of manufacturing it."

The old lich didn't hide anything either:

"So I had a witch doctor on the island who studied sorcery specialize in researching demonic contracts, and even tricked people into becoming his test subjects, just to see if I could create this thing... Your enemy must have obtained the demonic power from my subordinate."

"Hey?"

Amelie's eyes lit up, and she immediately grabbed the old lich's bones and began to whine sweetly:

"Grandma Ya, your subordinates actually used the power of my enemy's demon to assassinate me? This really hurts me... How will you make it up to me?"

Don't give me that!

The old lich, clearly disgusted, slapped Amelie away.

"You know perfectly well that most of my subordinates don't know my true identity, let alone my relationship with my family... The witch doctor is the same."

"Ok."

Emery shrugged, then asked with some curiosity:

"Who is that witch doctor under your command, Granny? Could you introduce me to him? His method of contracting demons is quite interesting; I have some bold ideas..."

"Don't think about it anymore, the person is already gone."

The old lich waved his hand:

"He messed up and was killed by your enemy using demonic power. Then your enemy ran straight back to the Federation... I was taking a beauty nap at the time. When I woke up and found out what was going on, I tried to chase after him, but I sensed that he was already dead, killed by a very powerful holy spell... I never expected that it was you, Ellie, who did it."

"That's it."

Amelie's curiosity was satisfied, so she returned to the main topic:

"So? Could you please help me with this crystal this time, Mother-in-law?"

"……Fine."

The old lich held the crystal between his two bony fingers and examined it for a while, growing more and more fond of it. He finally agreed, then thought for a moment and added:

"Taking down that ship is no problem, but I'm not sure I can keep that old guy in the Fusion stage on board alive... You know, old guys like him have too many ways to save their lives. If he can't beat me, he'll definitely run away."

"Yes, I know, so I will also wait in the shadows, waiting for the right opportunity to strike."

Emery nodded and said seriously:

"As long as you can weaken him or injure him severely first, I am very confident that I can completely eliminate him! So if he really runs away, you don't need to worry about it. Just make sure there are no survivors on that ship and no news gets out."

"That's easy, Ellie, don't worry..."

The old lich opened her mouth, which was nothing but teeth and bone, and laughed:

"When it comes to killing to cover up wrongdoing and blocking information, no one in the entire Federation is more professional than me. I've been doing this kind of work for thousands of years."

"Yes, yes, I knew Grandma Ya was the best!"

Amelie didn't hold back her flattery, and she coaxed the old lich again.

"correct."

After the two women chatted and laughed and discussed the details for a while, the old lich suddenly said:

"Do you remember what you promised me? It should be almost time, around next spring. Remember to be prepared... With your current abilities, you should be fine."

"it is good."

Amelie nodded, making a mental note of it.

When Amelie first met the old lich, they didn't have much of a relationship. After discovering that Amelie had been hiding her talent and strength, the old lich wanted to tell Amelie's grandfather that Amelie had promised to keep it a secret from him.

To put it simply, the old lich had a friend who was also an old devil on the east side of the White Sea, who had done a lot of bad things and was wanted by the Empire.

A few years ago, the old devil took in a very talented apprentice, and every time he met the old lich, he would show him off, which infuriated the old lich.

So the old lich and the old demon made a bet. The old lich would find a student to compete against the old demon's apprentice, and whoever won would receive some benefits.

The old lich personally returned to his family to find Amelie's grandfather, hoping to find a suitable young child in the family to be her student, and that's how he 'coincidentally' met Amelie.

The old demon and the old lich are characters from the original game, and in the background setting, they are indeed friends.

In the real world, based on the tone of the old lich's tone when mentioning the old devil, Amelie could also tell that the two of them were indeed very close, and might even have been having an affair.

So there was no danger involved. Winning would bring benefits, and losing would just mean getting a beating. Emery readily agreed from the start.

Now that her strength has broken through to the Fusion stage, Amelie is even less afraid. She doesn't believe that anyone her age is stronger than her, not even the so-called geniuses from the other side of the sea.

. . . . .

Amelie did not stay overnight at the mage tower on Pirate Island; she returned that very night.

After that, she was busy with various business affairs of Blue Star Films, constantly promoting the film to the entire Federation, and at the same time building Locke City into a true film capital.

About two weeks later, one night, on the White Sea, east of the Federal Continent.

A massive cruise ship with a displacement of over 5 tons was sailing smoothly on the water, with various playful sounds coming from the ship from time to time... There were coquettish voices from women and the perverted laughter of old men.

The cruise ship, named the Goddess, is one of the largest cruise ships in the Allen Federation. It is registered under a virtually empty tourism company, but actually belongs to the Federation Arts Association.

The Meishen goes to sea every three months, and each trip lasts about 20 days.

In name, it's an art association that brings together the pillars of the art world to enjoy themselves at sea, exchange creative ideas, and appreciate each other's art.

In reality, the Meishen was a large floating clubhouse, specifically used to reward artists who colluded with the Art Association and to cultivate relationships with powerful figures who had good relations with the Art Association.

Many girls, like the beauties in black veils, were deceived and trained by the art association and lived on the Goddess. They served as maids, dancers, singers, color painters, and color novelists, entertaining distinguished guests and being played with by others.

All of this information was obtained by Emery from the captain's memories. The captain and the other black-veiled beauties who supported Sulina were originally guards on the Goddess, and the captain was also the head of the Goddess's security department.

Also obtained from the female captain's memories, Emerald knew that the Goddess had a Fusion-stage mage from the Federal Arts Association stationed there for a long time, and that the Goddess itself had strong defensive capabilities, since there were still many dangers at sea.

After obtaining this information, Amelie did detailed calculations and realized that it would be difficult for her to take down the Goddess with the power she currently possessed. Only then did she decide to ask the old lich for help.

Those currently indulging in pleasure on the Americas have no idea that disaster is imminent, and they are laughing louder and louder than ever.

These people included core members of the art association, as well as federal dignitaries closely associated with the art association... and most of these dignitaries were involved in the traditional art industry, and their names happened to be on the notebook that Su Lina had seen.

They were all enemies who had actively provoked Emerald, and Emerald felt no guilt whatsoever about wiping them all out; in fact, she found it quite exhilarating.

As for whether any of the passengers on the ship were completely innocent? Of course, some were, but Emerald was equally indifferent.

Because those who can board the Goddess are all invited by the Art Association, and the current conflict of interest between the Art Association and Emerald is not a secret among the upper echelons of the Federation.

You knew perfectly well that the Arts Association and I had a grudge, yet you still accepted their invitation. Doesn't that mean you look down on me, Emery? Let's die together!

With this in mind, Amelie sat alone in her magical chair, following the Goddess from a distance of more than 10 kilometers in the sky, waiting for the old lich to make his move.

Suddenly, the sea became noticeably darker, as the bright moon in the sky was obscured by dark clouds, and a storm arose.
