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

Chapter 157 Ross: Instant Kill

This siren was originally around level five, but after being corrupted, its strength dropped drastically, though it still looked to be around level four.

However, due to the suppression of the ruins, its strength could only be exerted to the level below the fourth rank. Over time, its true strength became infinitely close to the fourth rank.

Or rather, it is weaker than close to the fourth order.

Even so, it's not something four second-tier players can defeat.

Sorcerers and monsters that reach the fourth tier are essentially entering the second stage, transcending the realm of ordinary sorcerers. With the aid of magic, they may even possess the ability to fly for extended periods, and the destructive power they cause is incomparable to that of the first to third tiers.

For Celia and her companions, it would be absolutely impossible to defeat Therxi if they relied solely on their own strength. It was only because the puppet with the fragment of divinity possessed super strong combat power that they, with their second-tier strength, could fight against a monster comparable to a fourth-tier monster.

If this monster doesn't have a low-health berserk mechanic.

When Terksi sensed its impending death and entered a berserk state, its strength had likely reached the level of a fourth-tier being.

At this level, the mental attacks unleashed during a berserk state alone can leave everyone momentarily stunned.

If Celia's puppet is torn apart, the battle power will be unbalanced, and the five of them will be at the mercy of others.

So, Rose made his move.

He instantly possessed Celia's body, taking over her body and control of the puppet. He narrowly escaped being caught by Therky.

After dodging, he first created ten layers of ice walls around Terxi to hinder her movements, and then quickly went to Doris's puppet and picked up the puppet's heavy greatsword.

The greatsword was very long, almost as tall as Celia, and very heavy, but in Ross's hands it was like a plastic toy, which he easily threw at the puppet.

"This sword is good. Magic can't kill in one hit, but this sword can."

After taking the greatsword, Terksi broke through the ten-layer ice wall, but before it could even feel smug, it saw a greatsword looming large in front of it.

Almost instantly, the greatsword plunged deep into its body, piercing through its upper body!

The penetration wasn't over yet. Ross's mental energy transformed into countless threads to bind it. The puppet pressed forward, and the greatsword continued to penetrate, piercing Tirksi's snake tail once more, pinning it to the stone floor, and deeply embedding it into the earth.

Terksi struggled violently; the corrupted siren was not so easily killed.

"Not dead? Then let me send you on your way."

Thick icy mist appeared on the greatsword. As if it had a spirit, this icy mist quickly gathered around Terksi's head and entered its head.

Its struggles slowed down, and finally, it stopped completely.

The corrupted threads that emanated from her body snapped at the moment of her death. The countless demonic eggs at the other end of the threads twitched violently a few times before their light dimmed and they ceased to move.

Ross clapped his hands, returning control of the body to Celia.

Meanwhile, Celia and the others gradually recovered from their dizziness.

When they saw Celia's puppet use Doris's greatsword to stab Therxi into the ground, they all looked bewildered.

At this moment, Terksi's posture resembled a kneeling, backward-leaning "∠", while the greatsword pierced it into an equilateral triangle with auxiliary lines.

On its frozen head, the mouth was wide open, as if it wanted to scream.

Both Phil Anco and Benovia were somewhat dazed at this moment.

What happened after Terksi screamed?
Why was the once invincible siren pinned to the ground like this?

Although they all understood that the siren was only going berserk because it was about to die, and that as long as they could withstand this wave, they could easily kill it.

But they couldn't hold on. Only one...

The girls all looked at Celia, their gazes changing.

Celia was also confused, but she quickly realized that this was Ross's doing.

The scene of Ross controlling her and the puppet to kill Tirxi quickly surfaced in her mind. From the moment they were all stunned by the mental shock, to Ross controlling her and the puppet to dodge Tirxi's grab, and then Ross throwing the greatsword to the puppet and killing Tirxi cleanly, every scene became her memory.

Lord Ross...

So strong!

The young girl was filled with longing, her pretty face slightly flushed—she was excited.

She coughed lightly: "My mental strength is slightly stronger, so I woke up before you. This siren was also at its last gasp, and I was lucky enough to kill it."

She described it casually, but omitted how she delivered Doris's greatsword to the puppet, and how the puppet used the greatsword to pin the siren to the ground.

But the fact was right before their eyes: Celia's puppet used Doris's greatsword to kill the siren that had almost wiped them out.

Although I felt that Celia was definitely hiding the most crucial information, considering that Therxi was already almost driven to death by them, it did make a little bit of sense.

There's nothing I can do but accept it.

Benovia exclaimed, "Celia, you are the strongest among all of us. The position of Saintess belongs to you alone."

Phil and Anko both nodded.

Celia: "?"

Don't do this, I'm scared.

At this moment, facing these candidates who seemed to have become her fans and wanted her to become a saintess, Celia felt that Doris was more pure.

That undisguised personality, where he wears his heart on his sleeve, is reassuring.

“Let’s tidy up the surroundings first, friends,” Celia said.

Everyone else nodded.

Their puppets were all damaged, but they could still move around normally and clean up the battlefield.

Because the blood flowing from Therxi was so disgusting, Phil had to purify the entire cave before Celia used magic to freeze all the flowing blood, encasing it in ice, before the puppets could clean it up.

After cleaning up the surrounding traces, everyone turned their attention to Terksi, who was pinned to the ground.

"It must have had some good stuff on it, since it was once a fifth-tier sea monster."

The girls all looked eager, but Benovia poured cold water on their hopes: "This siren has been corrupted and tainted for hundreds of years. Even the best bones would be osteoporotic and might not be of any use anymore. It might not even be as good as the monsters that have been born recently."

Celia had the puppet step forward and pull the greatsword out of Therxi's body.

Therxi's body went limp and collapsed. Before Celia could do anything, dense demonic energy appeared around it and slowly dissipated into the air.

As the demonic energy dissipated, its body, which it had been struggling to maintain, rapidly aged and withered.

In less than three minutes, Terksi's body turned into a dried corpse. With a slight sound, it tore into pieces and slowly turned into powder. Only one thing, which looked like a precious jewel, remained intact on the ground.

"I got a loot drop!"

　I didn't sleep well last night and I'm a bit sleepy. I'll update one more chapter later, and then I'll take a nap before writing the remaining three chapters.
