The villain daughter did all kinds of things

"Reporting, Captain!"

The young communications team leader knocked on Captain Enoch's door and reported:

"Our reconnaissance system has detected that a large cruise ship, the Goddess, is under attack by pirates and monsters less than 300 kilometers away in the 8 o'clock direction. Should we go to its aid?"

"...The Beauty Ship."

Enoch, however, remained completely unfazed, sitting in his chair with his legs crossed, and leisurely lit a cigarette.

"Don't you know that the Goddess is a ship of the Federal Arts Association, and the Federal Arts Association bullied the young lady not long ago?"

"What? The owner of that ship bullied the young lady?"

The communications team leader's eyes instantly turned red.

Although everyone knew there was no chance, the young officers and soldiers on the warship still regarded Emerald as their goddess and white moonlight. Now that they heard that someone dared to bully Emerald, their anger instantly rose.

"I understand what to do, Captain! I'll notify everyone immediately to proceed to the battlefield of the Goddess and carry out combat missions!"

After finishing his speech, the communications team leader turned to leave.

"Hey, wait!"

Enoch quickly stopped him, saying irritably:

"Didn't you hear what I just said? The Arts Association just bullied the young lady, and you're still rushing over to rescue them?"

"...How could you have such an absurd misunderstanding, Captain?"

The communications team leader gave Enoch a strange look:

"Who said we were going to rescue the Goddess? I was planning to tell everyone that after we got to the battlefield, we'd help those monsters and pirates and secretly give the Goddess a few good shots."

"Nonsense!"

Enoch kicked the communications team leader against the wall without hesitation, and reprimanded him sternly:

"Are you crazy? Helping pirates and monsters attack a cruise ship? If this gets out, our entire ship will be court-martialed, and then we'll all get our heads blown off by magic guns!"

"But……"

The communications team leader clutched his stomach, his face contorted with resentment:

"Then what should we do? Those bastards bullied Miss! Captain, aren't you the one who dotes on Miss the most?"

"So you guys are still too young, huh!"

Enoch flicked his cigarette ash, stood up, and gave the order:

"What we need to do is very simple: do nothing here, and at the same time use the internal system to notify other friendly forces that we are in full charge of this sea area and that they should not approach it."

"Understood!"

The communications team leader then looked enlightened and quickly began to flatter him:

"Captain, you are truly wise."

After saying that, he immediately ran to his post to carry out the order.

Upon noticing the large-scale battle disturbances, several Federation Navy warships that had initially intended to investigate turned back and left after learning that the Merson III was in charge of the area.

. . . . .

The battlefield of the Goddess.

"Damn it... What are the Federation Navy doing! Why aren't they here to help?"

Huai En, who had been summoning monsters to fight all night, was panting heavily and his face was full of anger. In front of him lay a pile of corpses that had been drained of blood and died.

However, the others on the ship no longer had time to criticize him for indiscriminately killing their own people, because the rest of the ship was also littered with corpses.

The magic shield could block the cannon fire of the ghost pirate ships, but it couldn't stop those ghost pirate ships from ramming directly onto the Goddess. Then, a large number of undead pirates jumped onto the Goddess.

If Wayne wanted to kill those undead pirates, it would be easy, but the necromancer in the shadows didn't give him a chance to make a move. Only the members of the security department on the Goddess could fight the undead pirates.

However, the security department of the Meishen had only transferred nearly a third of its personnel to support Sulina, and even the female captain, the head of the security department, was not there, nor had a new head been selected.

With Wayne in charge, the remaining security personnel on the ship were already weak, and without a leader to command them, they could only fight on their own, making them even more vulnerable.

Less than an hour after the boarding action began, almost all of the security personnel were killed, and their corpses rose up again, becoming new undead pirates who then slaughtered the passengers and crew on board.

Now that a night has passed, there are probably very few survivors left on the ship; ghost pirates roam the decks and cabins everywhere.

Even if Wayne didn't want to admit defeat, he had to acknowledge that he had lost this time. The Goddess was completely finished, and the Art Association was finished too.

However, Wayne wasn't too discouraged; instead, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Melson... how vicious, Melson!"

The truth of the matter is not hard to guess. In the entire western White Sea, apart from the Melson family, no one can make the Federal Navy turn a blind eye to such a battle, not even the Federal President... Moreover, the Art Association had just offended Melson's young lady recently.

"Hmph, daring to do such a thing, even if it's Melson, he won't get away with it!"

Wayne is preparing to flee. He wants to go back, reveal the truth of the matter, and use a media offensive to deal a heavy blow to the Merson family.

Wayne knew that the space he was in was anchored, and unless one was a great mage who was proficient in space or had space-related talent magic, no one could teleport away, including him.

So Huai En once again used blood to draw, but this time he didn't draw any ancient dragon-level monsters. Instead, he quickly drew a big fish, a fish about 3 meters long.

Then, without any hesitation about getting dirty, Wayne skillfully slipped into the mouth of the giant fish, and the giant fish jumped from the deck of the Goddess into the sea and quickly swam away into the distance.

Chapter 149 Finishing Blows and Dividing the Loot

"Trying to run away already? Just as I thought, a weakling~~" x2

Huai En thought he had made a stealthy escape, but little did he know that there were two pairs of eyes watching him closely, one in the sky and one in the water, and they were both complaining at the same time.

The eyes in the sky, of course, belonged to Emerald, who sat in her chair, surveying the entire battlefield from high above, not missing a single detail.

The eyes in the water belong to the old witch, Granny Ya. She was sitting in a sunken ship deep in the sea, but she had also turned the sunken ship into an undead, so that it could move underwater like a submarine and was even more stealthy.

Ameliete was confident in the old lich's strength and believed that the old lich would not let Wayne go so easily, so she did not rush to make a move, but was ready to make a move at any time.

Sure enough, watching the giant fish disappear thousands of meters away in an instant, the old lich, with only teeth remaining in his mouth, grinned disdainfully and extended a bone finger.

On that finger, compared to when she last met Emerald, there was an extra ring—a dark purple gemstone ring.

"Let's see how effective this gift from Ellie works... Die!"

As the old lich shouted, the gem ring instantly shone brightly, lasting for a full three seconds before dimming again.

The old lich's spell effects weren't apparent, but it was a different story with Wayne.

Above the large, fast-swimming fish, a giant demonic claw suddenly appeared, grabbed the fish, and instantly turned it into a lump of rotting flesh, which then scattered on the seabed.

"Ok?"

However, the expected appearance of Huai En did not occur. He seemed to have been instantly killed by the old lich along with the big fish. But is it really so easy to kill a Fusion stage powerhouse?

Of course not.

"Goodness, not much guts, but quite a cunning mind; he can really run fast!"

The old lich was only slightly surprised before lazily lying back down.

"But it doesn't matter. Little Ellie is more cunning than him and will definitely not let him go. I've worked hard all night and it's time to go collect my spoils."

After that, the old lich stopped paying attention to the escaped Wayne and focused on controlling the ghost pirates to scavenge the spoils on the Goddess that he could find—most of which were the corpses on the ship.

On the other side, several thousand meters away in the opposite direction from where the big fish swam, Huai En finally breathed a sigh of relief when he felt the magic that had been locking onto him finally give up.

He leaped out of the sea, hovering in mid-air, and glanced back at the direction of the Goddess:

"This isn't over yet! Melson! You guys are too arrogant!"

After saying that, he held his breath and carefully began to cast a spell, preparing to use teleportation magic to return directly to the Federation.

Wyn paid a heavy price to escape from the old lich.

Mages at their level rarely rely on the naked eye to lock onto enemies; they use magical perception or other radar-like methods.

The old lich's magical perception had been locked onto Huaien the whole time, so he didn't dare to be distracted and use teleportation magic to escape, as that would be like handing himself over to the enemy for a sneak attack.

In order to deceive the old lich's magical perception, when Wayne crawled into the fish's belly, he used his own blood as paint to quickly draw a substitute for himself, and also infused the substitute with a large amount of magic and life force, making it impossible for magical perception to distinguish.

The double operation was successful, and Wayne escaped the old lich's magical perception lock. However, creating that double had also greatly exhausted him, which was like adding insult to injury for someone who had already fought all night. He was in very poor condition and had to be more careful in order to truly return to a safe area.

However, this was destined to be impossible.

Although Amelie didn't directly stop Wayne from escaping, she was prepared for the old lich to make a mistake—a small, invisible ribbon remained attached to Wayne.

Originally, Emerald's innate magic, the Invisible Ribbon, could not be detected or seen by any known means, but it was only invisible on its own; it still had a collision volume.

More importantly, the invisible ribbon can only appear from behind Emerald. Whether it transforms into a sharp blade to pierce the enemy or to entangle and bind the enemy, there must be a process of shooting it towards the enemy. However, the enemy who does not know the information will not notice it at all.

However, if one has prior knowledge of the invisible ribbons or possesses exceptionally keen intuition, it is still possible to deal with them. For example, one can maintain a high speed, moving faster than the ribbons themselves, or rely solely on intuition to evade their attacks.

Yulia from the original game could do this. She couldn't sense the specific existence of Emerytes until the end of the main storyline, but during their sparring sessions, she knew it was dangerous to stay in a certain place and her body would automatically avoid it... Her intuition was terrifyingly strong.

However, Emerald is no longer the Emerald from the original game. With her breakthrough to the Fusion stage and the acquisition of the fusion organ, the golden right eye, the weakness of the invisible ribbon has been compensated.

The power of her radiant golden right eye is the ability to alter the starting point of any magic or innate spell. As long as the enemy is within Emerald's field of vision, she can launch a projectile-free ranged attack starting at 0 frames.

The same applies to marking Wayne in advance with an invisible ribbon. The ribbon on Wayne's body didn't come from the sky but sprouted directly from his clothes like a withered tree sprouting, right before Amelie's eyes, without him noticing at all.

And so that ribbon took Huaien's life.

When Wayne once again dipped his index finger in his own blood and tried to draw a portal in mid-air with his fused organ, the invisible ribbon that had been hidden on his body stirred.

The soft ribbon suddenly gained power, transforming into a sharp blade that could cut through iron like mud. Caught completely off guard, it severed Huai En's finger from the base in one strike.

"Uh ah ah ah..."

Huai En let out a scream, but instead of clutching his bleeding severed finger, he nervously looked around. He was truly panicking now.

"Who? Who is it? Show yourself if you dare!"

Cutting off or removing the fusion organ directly from a fusion-stage mage can indeed have some impact on them, but it is not enough to be fatal or determine the outcome of the battle. Many fusion-stage powerhouses have used this method in battle before.

The connection between a fusion-stage mage and their fusion organ must be even closer.

For Huai En now, it doesn't matter if his finger is broken and lost, as long as he can escape safely back, he can retrieve the severed finger at any time through the connection of souls... Moreover, he has already caught the severed finger with his other hand, so he is not worried at all.

What truly alarmed him was that another expert of equal strength was secretly lying in ambush against him, and he hadn't noticed it at all before.

So Wayne immediately activated his magical perception to the maximum, not missing any life signs within hundreds of meters around him, trying to find the attacker from before.

But it didn't work.

Whether it's innate magic or the special abilities of fused organs, their combat styles are quite similar to the Stand users in a certain work on Earth from Emerald's previous life. Strictly speaking, there's no absolute strength or weakness; information is the most crucial factor. As long as you utilize information effectively, even an ability as seemingly invincible as the ability to stop time can be defeated.

Conversely, without intelligence, many times no matter how hard you struggle, it's all in vain.

No matter how much magic Wayne squeezed out of his remaining strength to sense and search his surroundings, he could not possibly find Emerald, who was ten thousand meters above him, nor did he know that Emerald's dazzling golden eyes had once again locked onto him through the telescope.

! !

It was still a method that Wayne couldn't understand or defend against at all. He was instantly bound tightly by multiple invisible ribbons that suddenly grew from his body. The many defensive measures he had set up around his body earlier were completely useless... because no matter how strong those magical shields were, they were as transparent as glass windows, so they were no better than a smoke bomb to Ameliete.

After the invisible ribbon wrapped around him, the next steps were naturally [Energy Absorption] and [Mana Absorption Inscription], which simultaneously and rapidly absorbed Huaien's physical energy and magic power.

If it were Wayne at his peak, he would have had many ways to escape.

Emerald's physical and magical energy absorption speed is fast, but not fast enough to drain a Fusion Stage powerhouse dry in a few seconds. After all, the Fusion Organ is almost equivalent to an infinite source of magical energy.

However, after a night of intense fighting, Huaien was already greatly depleted. In order to deceive the old lich, he had also given up a lot of magic power and life force. What's worse, his index finger, which was his fusion organ, was currently severed and could not be used as a source of magic power to replenish his magic power.

"Aaaaaah... Damn it! Bastard! Despicable!"

Wayne quickly realized this, and he shouted in frustration, but it was no use.

In just over ten seconds, Huaien's roar went from furious to weak and feeble. Finally, as his physical strength and magic were completely drained, he could no longer hold on, closed his eyes and fell asleep. His body, which had maintained its youth for many years, began to age rapidly.

"Tsk tsk tsk... When you're tired, you should just lie down and sleep. That's how old people should be~~"

Only after confirming that Wayne was no longer capable of resisting did Emery descend from the sky in a chair.

With a flick of her finger, she used magic to snatch away Huaien's fused organs, sealed them with sealing magic, and put them into a specially made small box.

Then Emery looked up and down at Wayne, who was bound by invisible ribbons and hanging in mid-air, and considered how to kill him completely.

Fusion stage mages are practically a different kind of being from ordinary people; conventional methods like beheading or heart-ripping cannot guarantee a kill. Some mages with bizarre fused organ abilities even prefer to fight separately or throw their own hearts at people.

Even if you completely burn or grind the physical body into powder, it's still difficult to guarantee a kill. This is because many powerful beings at this level can continue to live in spirit form, or even be resurrected after being reduced to ashes.

For example, Marcy is like this. Once she breaks through to the level of a Grand Mage, she can be reborn almost without limit through the Flame of Life. Unless her soul is sealed or shattered, nothing can truly kill her, or even cause effective damage, to her body. The Flame of Life has played an indispensable role in the Crimson Moon Clan's ability to maintain its position as the number one family in the Elven Kingdom for tens of thousands of years.

Huaien's survival ability certainly wouldn't be as outrageous as that of the Scarlet Moon Clan members, but he was still a Fusion Stage powerhouse after all. He shouldn't be completely killed by simple methods like beheading or piercing the heart. At least, Emery's caution didn't suggest that killing Huaien in such a way would suffice.
