Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint.

Chapter 120 Stacking Buffs (Sixth Update!)
Already caught off guard by Celia's badge, the High Priest was enraged when Winter suddenly spoke up beside him.

"What the hell are you talking about?"

Winter said seriously, "High Priest, as the lord, I certainly have the right to ask. Don't worry about it. I suggest you explain things clearly to the Holy Maiden of your Holy Court first."

Winter spoke up not to help Celia question the High Priest, but to distance himself from the situation and indicate that it had nothing to do with him.

Although he felt his guess was correct, he believed that it was always best to be prepared for both possibilities.

If we blindly support this unfamiliar saintess, what if she turns out to be an imposter, or what means the high priestess manages to turn the tables?
If you fall out with the high priest, you're bound to suffer the consequences.

However, if the suspicion is false, and one supports the High Priest or even joins forces against this saintess, but she is real, then the consequences will not be limited to simply replacing the High Priest.

Therefore, the best approach is to avoid offending either side, distance yourself from the situation, and support whoever wins.

Although saying this might seem like helping the saintess, and it could make the high priest resent her if he wins afterward, the two have disliked each other for a long time, so this little bit of animosity is nothing to worry about.

Winter's plan was well-thought-out, and the high priest quickly understood it.

He took a deep breath to calm his nerves and said in as calm a tone as possible, "I didn't attack you. I just saw you squatting there for a long time and sent the puppet over to investigate for you."

"Oh, so your puppet rushed over with a sword to help me? If you can convince the Judgment Priest with words like that, then continue."

The high priest's expression changed once again.

After a long while, he finally smiled and said, "Miss Saintess, you are joking. This plantation has nothing to do with me. You reported to me that there was a pearl rosemary plantation here, and I immediately canceled my important meeting to come with you, didn't I? Don't slander me like that. I have been working in Frost Town for more than ten years."

Celia nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, please continue, I'm listening."

The high priest fell silent.

He could tell from Celia's expression that she had no intention of letting him go.

His face slowly darkened.

"You say you're a saintess, but I remember the saintess didn't look like you. Where did you get your badge? Could it be a fake? Let me see it."

"No way." Celia put the badge back. "Come and hit me then!"

"I think you're guilty. You're probably a fake saintess. The high priest has the right to judge any heretics who impersonate clergy! Don't force me to take action."

"If you're going to fight, then fight. Why all this nonsense?" Celia said impatiently. "Let me be blunt: cultivating pearl rosemary and selling bewitching water are sins far more serious than those of a heretic leader in the Holy Court. There's no point in saying anything now. You'll be judged."

The High Priest sneered: "Let me tell you too, impersonating a Holy Maiden of the Holy Court is a capital offense. I will judge your sins on behalf of the gods!"

Having said that, the high priest gave the puppet instructions.

The puppet rushed over, its body radiating a pure white light, signifying that the High Priest's holy spell magic had reached a very high level.

However, no matter how she looked at it, Celia found this holy light extremely repulsive.

"Doing this kind of thing every day, have you wasted your Holy Word skills on something else?!"

Having long been prepared to summon the puppet, Celia experienced instant summoning for the first time.

The puppet quickly condensed, then raised its hand to create an ice wall in front of it, blocking the opponent's attack.

Celia calmed herself down and pondered how to defeat the High Priest.

"The High Priest's battle strategy is completely different from that of the Lord. The Lord's weakness is his clumsiness, which is fatal, but the High Priest does not have this weakness."

“His Holy Word technique is very well-practiced, which can give him great magic immunity and holy attack bonus. We can’t go head-to-head with him.”

"The combination of Crystal Arrow and Shatter Ice is not very effective against his puppet; it can only be used to catch him off guard."

"We can try using the Mage's Hand to activate the Puppet's second-tier combo skill."

Celia already had an idea in mind.

This time, Ross didn't offer her any guidance. He nodded, sensing what she was saying in her heart.

The girl finally realized the wonder of the mage's hand.

This skill was once almost exclusively a player-exclusive ability, like the Intrusion skill in Watch Dogs or Eagle Eye in Assassin's Creed. As a support skill, it could be used in conjunction with any spell, making it incredibly overpowered. Celia learned the combination of Crystal Arrow and Shatter Ice, a skill she acquired through her own talent.

The puppet, on the other hand, used a different set of skills.

Stagnant Water, Frost Freeze, Thunderous Fury, Shatter Ice.

Frost Condensation is a spell that rapidly freezes water vapor. It can be used in conjunction with Stagnant Water to quickly freeze enemies trapped in Stagnant Water.

Lightning Fury was a spell that Celia learned at Ross's suggestion. This spell is about as powerful against the human body as a first-tier Lightning Strike, but it has a special effect against metal.

It can penetrate metal, causing damage inside, and is even more powerful against frozen targets.

The core of this combo is to invade and freeze the target with Lightning Fury, destroy the target's interior, and finally shatter it with Shatter Ice.

Most people would easily think of the combination of Freeze and Lightning Fury, but I've never seen Lightning Fury followed by Shatter Ice by Celia.

After searching out of curiosity, she found that many sorcerers said that the Ice Shatter spell was not very useful and could only be used to bully weaker players.

Thinking about it carefully, this skill is indeed quite difficult to shatter the target...

"Luckily, I have the Mage's Hand!"

boom!
The high priest's puppet shattered the ice wall, and his longsword, radiating a holy light, slashed down at Celia's puppet as if judging heretics.

"Holy Word spells don't work on me."

Celia smiled slightly, dodged slightly, ignored the descending Holy Word Blade, and directly activated Slowing Water, enveloping the High Priest's puppet in water vapor.

"freeze!"

As the High Priestess's puppet was frozen, the light blade had already reached Celia's puppet.

However, a faint white light rose from her puppet body. It was very weak, but the light blades dissolved quickly as if they had encountered their nemesis.

The Saintess's exclusive Divine Immunity is a unique ability possessed only by the Saintess. It can reduce the power of most Holy spells and directly grant immunity to damage caused by Holy Word spells.

This is a blessing granted by the current saintess through prayer to the gods, and it will continue until she becomes an official saintess.

If you lose the competition, you will lose this blessing.

This is the most direct way to distinguish whether someone is a saint.

Upon seeing that Celia was immune to the Holy Word spell, the High Priest became flustered.

But then his gaze turned even more ferocious.

"You forced me to do this!"

The wrath of lightning descended from the sky, piercing through his puppet, but his puppet remained unharmed.

The holy-level aura emanating from his body had vanished, replaced by a blood-red glow.

This beam of light directly broke the frozen state on the puppet.

Celia's eyes widened: "A heretical god's blessing?"

"That's right, this is the Death Perception Blessing of the Deep Sea Apostle Rost, which can raise my strength to the fourth level."

In the high priest's eyes, the pupils rapidly split, and then each eye split into six pupils, which was extremely eerie.

"Now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to kill you quickly."

Celia felt a chill run down her spine.

Wait, why is the ultimate ability used at the start?
Feeling the increasingly intense pressure, just as Celia was about to ask Ross for help, a cold snort came from outside.

"Hmph, a high priest of the temple, how dare you practice heretical magic! You have betrayed the gods! Accept your judgment!"

　Finally, I can go to sleep!
