Chapter 201 Fusion of Human and Puppet? (Seeking monthly votes~)

"The magic circle's attack seems to have stopped?"

The city lord and Vanessa exchanged a glance and rushed over.

Each of them was carrying one in their hand. As they approached, the bishop, despite his injury, flew over and drew near to them.

“Leave those two heretics to me. You two join forces to deal with this strange heretic.”

The two nodded, tossed the heretics to the bishop, and then looked at the water droplets still frozen in the air.

The two men surrounded him, and the city lord cautiously looked at them: "Who are you? State your name."

Vanessa added, "You are surrounded. Don't try to struggle; you can't escape. Surrender. The Holy Court treats high-ranking mages with special consideration."

The 'Jode' inside the water droplet did not speak, and the water droplet slowly disintegrated.

Bah!
The water droplet shattered with a crash, revealing Jode inside.

The next second, his clothes suddenly burst open, exposing his face to everyone.

Everyone was startled when they saw the figure under the hood.

"Puppet?"

Celia thought to herself in shock, "This troublesome heretic is actually a puppet? How come no one has discovered it yet? And the sorcerer who controls it is still hiding?"

Not only Celia, but also Vanessa and the city lord who surrounded 'Jord', as well as the bishop who left with the two heretics, were all taken aback.

Like Celia, they immediately thought of the manipulator lurking in the shadows.

The two people surrounding the 'puppet' exchanged a glance, their eyes quickly communicating.

They both came up with two battle strategies: either defeat the 'puppet' and then find the sorcerer, or stall the 'puppet' while one of them went to search for the 'sorcerer'.

While they were contemplating tactics, the 'Puppet' remained still. He looked in the direction where Celia was hiding, and a hoarse, deep voice rang out—

"I...Katti?"

"No...you...Anos...is wrong too..."

"who are you?"

Celia couldn't help but look at Ross's phantom image.

She could sense that the 'puppet' was talking to her.

But considering what he said, perhaps he was actually talking to Ross in his mind?

"He mentioned the names of the goddess of ice and snow and the water god... Could he really be an evil god from the deep sea? Is that Rost really real?" The girl was a little incredulous.

The divine identity brought a powerful sense of oppression to Celia, making her breath quicken.

Ross said calmly, "No matter who he was before, he's nothing more than a pathetic wretch who can only possess a body that's a fusion of a human and a puppet."

"What? A fusion of a human and a magical puppet?"

Celia was stunned.

Can a human merge with a magical puppet?

“Under the might of the gods, nothing is impossible.” He chuckled as he spoke. “Perhaps this isn’t Rost, but rather Ethel, the god of the sea?”

Celia immediately shook her head: "How could it be the god of the sea? He possessed the body of a heretic!"

“I’ve already possessed the body of the Holy Maiden of the Holy Court, so what’s impossible about him possessing the body of a heretic?” Ross said with a smile.

“That’s impossible. The way he spoke made it sound like he had a lot of hostility towards the Ice Goddess and the Water God.” Celia still shook her head firmly.

Ross laughed heartily and said nothing more.

At this moment, the standoff above was broken by Jord, or rather, Ethel's actions.

The city lord and Vanessa were puzzled as to why this 'puppet' mentioned the names of the Ice God and the Water God, and also because the other party was looking in the direction of the empty square.

But after he acted, their heightened attention prompted them to react immediately, ordering the puppets to charge at the enemy.

Then, a divine light began to emanate from Vanessa. She was assisting the puppet in battle.

At the same time, she looked at the city lord and said, "Lord City Lord, please help me find the sorcerer hiding in the shadows."

The city lord nodded confidently: "Don't worry, as long as he's in Southern Border City, I'll find him immediately!"

After saying that, he immediately focused his mind on controlling the magic array.

Without the city lord's assistance, Vanessa, with the help of his puppet, was able to contend with this strange 'puppet,' but the pressure was immense.

This puppet may look like it's only a fourth-tier spell, but the water spells or shadow spells it uses are stronger than regular fourth-tier spells.

Vanessa even thought the opponent might have the strength of a fifth-tier opponent.

But it seems unlikely that a fifth-tier rank would only have such low strength.

Seeing how powerful her opponent was, she changed her battle strategy, choosing to defend as the means of attack, and waited for the city lord to find the hidden sorcerer.

However, several minutes passed, and there was still no response from the city lord.

Vanessa glanced at him briefly and noticed that the city lord was sweating profusely; he was clearly in a hurry, but there was nothing she could do about it.

"Didn't you find it?" Vanessa asked.

"We didn't detect any traces. Someone was emitting magical fluctuations, but they were very weak and didn't seem to be a sorcerer controlling a puppet."

"Send someone to check it out."

“Alright.” The city lord nodded and immediately contacted the steward through his bracelet, instructing the steward to send someone to investigate the source of those magical fluctuations.

The results came out quickly; none of them were true. It was just that the low-level mages in the city had accidentally leaked their magic power while watching the battle, due to their excitement.

"The other party may be outside the city," the city lord said.

“Send someone to investigate outside the city,” Vanessa said.

"Ah."

Then, the city lord joined the fight.

Below, Celia was also secretly manipulating the magic circle, providing support to Vanessa and the city lord.

I got a little carried away just now and aroused the suspicion of the city lord and Vanessa, so I can't continue now.

With a formidable enemy at hand, they may have their suspicions, but they had no time to investigate.

If they continue doing that, they might prioritize investigating the condition of the magic circle, since the magic circle is related to the safety of the entire city.

Without the protection of the magic array, the aftershocks of their battle high in the sky would have already destroyed the city below.

Even with the magic array present, the area directly below was not spared; some houses have already been destroyed.

Fortunately, the battle took place in the air above the plaza, surrounded by park-like buildings, where there was generally no one around. If there were any unlucky souls inside, there was nothing that could be done; they were simply unlucky.

“Fighting in the city is still too limiting,” Vanessa frowned.

“No, we can’t go outside the city. We have a magic array to help us fight inside the city. If we go outside, we simply can’t win.” The city lord immediately shook his head: “The bishop’s injury was caused by fighting outside.”

"Don't worry, Lady Vanessa, I've already ordered the butler to evacuate the people nearby. Plus, with the protection of the magic array, there's nothing to worry about. Fight with all your might! Take down this puppet, and then find the sorcerer hiding in the shadows!"

"Okay, I'm relieved with your words."

Vanessa began to radiate an even more powerful divine light, like the sun illuminating the entire city.

But it wasn't just her who let loose.

Their enemies, the 'puppet' glowing with a bluish-black light, also began to grow impatient.

"You...please...get out!"

A terrifying aura, like divine might, emanated from him!
