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

Chapter 156 The Siren Terksi
boom--! ! !
From afar, Celia and the others could hear the sounds coming from inside the cave.

That was the sound of a battle.

The four exchanged a glance and sped towards the cave.

"We didn't encounter any monsters along the way, only some magic crystals and basic materials that were carelessly thrown on the ground, which means that the area had just been cleared out and hadn't been replenished yet."

"Only an idiot like Doris would run out of the camp at night. She must have been the one who cleared out these monsters."

"She may be fighting a mysterious monster in the cave right now."

"Prepare for support!"

"..."

Soon, they arrived at the cave entrance and looked into the depths of the cave.

Unfortunately, you can't see inside from here; it's not only pitch black, but the cave also has corners.

From around the corner, faint flashes of fiery red and white light could be seen.

Without hesitation, the four rushed into the cave, turned a corner, and arrived at the deepest part of the cave.

Before they could even get a good look at what was going on inside, a figure flew out from there.

While the group was still in a daze, Celia suddenly felt that she could not control her body. Then she saw her body accelerate suddenly and catch the figure before it hit the ground.

She saw herself patting the figure's back with one hand, and a holy light emanated from her hand.

Then she found that she could control her body again.

She knew what was going on.

It's Ross.

She also knew who the next figure would be.

It's Doris.

She also knew what Ross had just done.

He used magic to stabilize Doris's internal wounds and channeled a huge amount of contamination into his own body, preventing Doris from being corrupted and dying.

Celia quickly threw Doris to the ground and shouted to Benovia and the other two, "You guys hold them off for a bit, I'll clean up the contamination first."

"Let me do it."

A soft voice came, and Phil had come to the two of them. She stretched out her hands, placing one hand on each person's forehead.

Celia immediately felt some of the pollution in her body being purified, and the rest entered her body through Phil's palm.

“Phil, you…”

"It's alright," Phil smiled slightly.

After Phil purified and absorbed the pollution, it was almost completely cleared away. Celia then stood up and looked ahead.

Benovia and Anko rushed forward to fend off the unnamed monster.

Ross's voice came through:
"This is the siren Terksi, who can lull people to sleep with her song. If you encounter her at sea, her song will put everyone on board to sleep until the ship drifts into the deep sea."

"However, this siren has been completely corrupted and defiled, becoming a monster with little consciousness. Its beautiful voice has also been corrupted, leaving only some simple mental attacks."

"There's no need for any special skills to fight these mindless monsters, just attack them directly, and watch out for their berserk state."

Celia glanced at Doris and saw that she had barely opened her eyes and was looking at her. She couldn't help but snort, "You sneaked into the ruins to die so as not to deliver materials to me. If you don't want to deliver materials, then don't. Why come here to die?"

Doris snapped, "You don't want to send the materials to your death! I won't go back on my word after losing the bet! I'll have them delivered from home tomorrow, so don't cough... cough cough cough..."

Phil glared at Celia: "Celia, shut up. She has severe internal injuries and her magic is erratic. She needs treatment."

Celia pouted, walked past Doris, and headed towards the battlefield. "Alright, you should get some sleep. You actually thought you could take care of the boss monster all by yourself? Dream on! We're going to steal your credit."

After saying that, Celia joined the battle.

This corrupted and tainted sea monster, Terksi, is very strong. As soon as it joined the battlefield, Celia felt immense pressure.

The Terxi's attack methods are not complicated. Apart from the area-of-effect mental attack of screaming, it also includes tail sweeping, charging, water spraying, and summoning monsters from its egg.

However, if the puppet is hit by its physical attack, it will inevitably be knocked away and suffer damage.

The monsters that broke out of the demon eggs seemed to have intelligence; they didn't bother the puppets or even the three of them, but instead rushed towards Phil and Doris, forcing them to return to defend.

Fortunately, the characteristic of the puppet is that it can distract the sorcerer from fighting, so that they do not need to focus on controlling it. Focusing on controlling it will make it easier for the puppet to not exert 100% of its combat power.

"I've seen this monster in some ancient books. It's a kind of sea monster called Terksi. Legend has it that they have the strength of the fifth to sixth rank. This one is not that strong because it has been corrupted and is also restricted by the ruins, but it may still have the strength of close to the fourth rank."

Celia relayed Ross's words, "It doesn't have many attack methods, but just the impact is enough to injure the puppet. It's best not to get touched by it. Also, watch out for its low-health berserk mode."

Surrounded by the crowd, Terksi let out a shriek, and an invisible sound wave spread outwards from it.

Everyone felt a sudden headache and couldn't help but cover their heads.

Even Doris, with her eyes closed, frowned, a look of pain on her face.

"Use your mage's hand to grab its neck." Ross's voice entered Celia's mind, clearing her senses.

She quickly transformed the mage's hand back to its original form, extending it to Terksi's side, opening her hand, and viciously pinching Terksi's neck.

The shrieking sound stopped abruptly.

Once Benovia and Anko recovered, they quickly took advantage of Telkis being controlled and used the puppets to launch an even fiercer attack on her.

Various colored lights flickered incessantly in the dark cave, and wound after wound appeared on the corrupted Terksi's body.

Even its tail was severed by Celia's ice blade, and blood gushed out like pus, emitting a foul stench.

Fortunately, the blood was not corrosive; it was only highly polluted.

The contamination has little effect on the puppet.

Of course, neither Celia nor any other Saintess candidate would want to come into contact with such disgusting blood.

Phil shone a divine light, illuminating the cave and providing vision for the fighting crowd. She laid Doris down and cushioned her with a cloth.

Then, she looked in the direction of the battle, manipulated the puppet, first brought Doris's puppet over, and then joined the battle.

"This monster is too strong. Without Doris, we can't gang up on it like we did today. Are we just going to have to fight a war of attrition?" Phil asked Celia softly.

Celia nodded: "We lack a way to kill it in one blow. Even a third-tier spell might not be enough to kill it instantly. We can only slowly whittle it down until all its blood is drained."

Ross said, "When we get back, I'll teach you a growth-type ice spell. You can use it as a powerful move when facing strong enemies."

“Okay!” Celia immediately agreed.

Ross surveyed the battlefield and noticed that Therxi's aura was weakening, so he warned, "Be careful, Therxi is about to go berserk."

As soon as she finished speaking, Terxi unleashed another fierce shriek, which shattered Celia's mage hand and suddenly entered everyone's minds.

The immense psychological impact left everyone in a daze.

Teerxi grabbed Celia's puppet and was about to tear it apart.

Ross couldn't help but shake his head.

"I still have to do it."

　I'm not sure if I can finish writing this by noon; if not, I'll have to update it tonight...
