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

Chapter 242 Even Gatling guns aren't this outrageous!
boom!
The entire sixth floor exploded violently, shattering the second floor's [load-bearing wall] of Celia, and even cracking the ice wall behind it.

Fortunately, it was blocked.

As the final wave of attacks ended, the entire sixth floor slowly began to light up.

The vanished chandelier reappeared, radiating a blended light.

The fireplace, weapon rack, portrait... everything that had been used for attack slowly reappeared in the smoke and dust of the explosion, returning to its original state.

But the terrifying feeling was gone, and the whole room felt warm and cozy under the lights.

The portrait of the smiling middle-aged nobleman was just an ordinary smile, without giving people a sense of horror.

"it's over?"

Celia looked around warily.

Nothing seemed amiss.

Just in case, she raised an ice wall around herself and Elena, holding a scroll in her hand, ready to raise the Earth Shield at any moment.

Elena looks pretty much the same.

She held a staff, and a faint emerald green light emanated from the puppet's hands, ready to unleash magic at any moment to defend against attacks.

Squeak—!
Suddenly, they heard the sound of a door opening behind them. The two of them tensed up and turned around to see two large doors slowly opening behind them.

Behind the main gate is a familiar staircase leading to the upper floor.

Both men breathed a sigh of relief.

"Although the short-term attacks are very violent, I still prefer it here to the slow, relentless bombardment down below," Celia said with a smile.

Elena nodded, then shook her head: "This kind of all-out attack is good, but it's easy to get out of control. If it weren't for the combination techniques, we wouldn't have gotten through this so easily."

"Before we go to the seventh floor, let's check if there are any treasures on the sixth floor!"

"it is good!"

The two carefully searched the sixth floor.

Half an hour later, they reappeared at the doorway, their faces beaming with smiles.

Elena exclaimed, "This really is a stronghold of magic crystals! Not only are there many intermediate magic crystals, but we even found a high-level magic crystal!"

Celia nodded: "Besides magic crystals, other materials appeared on the sixth floor, which was an unexpected bonus."

They searched the entire sixth floor and found the hidden high-grade magic crystals. Then, with Ross's guidance, they found the most, most, most concealed treasure chest—

A piece of thread material hidden inside various weapons on a weapon rack.

Yes, all the weapons on the weapon rack are hollow, with many threads inside. These threads are exceptionally tough and strong, and cannot be broken even with force.

Furthermore, its magical properties are also very strong.

Celia immediately realized its purpose—to draw runes on clothes and turn them into comfortable battle robes.

She didn't recognize the material, and neither did Elena.

The school has a course called "Materials Science," but the first-year materials science course doesn't allow her to identify all materials. Materials beyond the second order are not taught in the first-year materials science course.

The ruins cannot be connected to the Protoss network, nor can they be searched.

And Ross...

"Don't ask me, I don't know either. I only know a small part of mid-tier items. Although I have some knowledge of forging and clothing making, I haven't studied them in depth. However, this thing is definitely a fourth-tier item. If you want to use it to make clothes, you can ignore the difference in tier. However, if you want to use this thread yourself... it will be a bit difficult."

Celia nodded.

She could feel it.

After she poured her magic into the material, it was like a stone sinking into the ocean. If the material's magical depth was likened to a lake, then her magic input was like a small water pipe; the amount poured in was probably less than the amount evaporated. "When I get back, I'll ask Instructor Elena if she knows any instructors who make magic robes, and ask her to make one for me."

As she encountered increasingly powerful enemies, Celia gradually realized that she had no armor whatsoever, which was a huge vulnerability.

Especially in ancient ruins like castle mazes, you never know when an attack might suddenly appear.

It's impossible to surround yourself with an ice wall everywhere you go, right?

No, one layer of ice wall is not enough, because ice wall is a first-tier spell. To block attacks from higher-tier spells, it needs to be layered and reinforced with forest silk.

If you have a mage robe with fourth-tier defense... why would you need to stack ice walls?
They'd probably blindly charge into the entire ruins, and then, at the end, mock the ruins' owner: "Didn't you eat?"

That's why I'm like this now, stuck with a thick wall of ice, looking like an idiot.

Elena noticed that Celia really wanted the threads, unaware that they were fourth-tier Elena, and chose to give them to Celia.

In gratitude, Celia gave the high-grade magic crystal to Elena.

There wasn't much thread; even if you disassembled all the weapons and put them together, it would only amount to a small ball, probably not even enough to make a pair of underwear.

"So it seems that this is the most valuable item after the sixth floor. I wonder if all these threads together could make a vest by the time we reach the top floor..."

For this amount of money, Celia doesn't need any mage robes; she'll be satisfied with just a vest.

Of course, if there are many other factors involved, that's a separate calculation.

After completing their treasure hunt, the two happily arrived at the stairwell leading to the seventh floor.

Ross appeared, and smiled as he watched them lower their guard and approach.

The next second, a large number of arrows appeared from the stairs, each carrying the power of a third-tier spell, and instantly shot towards Celia and Elena.

The arrow was incredibly fast, shattering the ice walls layer by layer in an instant, and hurtling towards the puppet walking in front.

Celia's expression changed, and she quickly took out a scroll of Earth Shield and tore it open.

"Back off!"

She shouted and ran down the steps without hesitation, giving the puppet a command to retreat as well.

When the two and the puppet successfully retreated, they saw that the earth shield, which had not formed a load-bearing wall, had been pierced through like a hedgehog.

The remaining arrows continued to fly, piercing through the six-layered stone wall and turning the impenetrable wall into a hedgehog.

The Gatling gun-like barrage of enchanted arrows continued for about three minutes before stopping.

The two looked at each other, still shaken.

Celia glanced at Ross, who was watching the scene unfold, and immediately knew that he had deliberately not given her a warning.

She immediately apologized, "I'm sorry, Lord Ross, I was too excited and forgot there was a trap here."

Ross said with some surprise, "Interesting. I thought you would blame me for not reminding you."

Celia said, "No, it was my fault for getting carried away. How can I blame Mr. Ross for not reminding me?"

As she spoke, she blinked, "Lord Ross, please help me!"

After her choice to attack the portrait triggered a frenzy across the entire sixth floor, she knew she was no longer destined to solve the puzzle.

However, from the first floor until now, she has not seriously looked for clues to solve the puzzles, and relied entirely on Ross's guidance to enter the next floor.

This was the first time she had realized that the stairs leading to the next floor were such a treacherous trap.

"too frightening!"
