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

Chapter 401 Wind Field Domain
Deep within the Golden Apple Stone Forest.

A colossal structure, resembling a fortress, lay silently amidst the shroud of gray fog.

At this moment, the fortress seemed to come alive, with a large number of figures and puppets shooting out from inside, engaging in battle with the many law-enforcing knights outside.

Melina stared at a figure standing atop the fortress, who was also staring at her.

"The leader of the Deep Sea Mutual Aid Society, huh? Dare to come out and fight me one-on-one?"

These words were spoken by Blake, who had come with Melina.

He looked at the figure hidden inside the fortress with a defiant expression.

Unfortunately, the other side did not appreciate the gesture. They simply targeted Blake and Melina, unleashing countless spells from within the fortress to continuously attack the two, preventing them from participating in the battle with their subordinates.

Melina took out the pollution warning badge, frowned, and felt it. "Time's almost up."

Blake nodded: "Let's retreat. There's plenty of time. There's no rush."

Melina glared at the fortress, annoyed. "I really want to summon a forbidden spell to destroy this fortress. Where did they get so many high-level mages? Don't high-level mages cost money?"

The Knights of Law have many members, but not many fourth-tier mages. After all these years, they only have 32 at most. They are bishops in the temple and also captains in the Knights of Law, led by her, a sixth-tier mage.

The remaining Law Enforcers were third-tier mages who, through unified combined combat tactics, could barely contend with fourth-tier mages. However, they could only hold them off; to kill a fourth-tier mage, a commander of fourth tier or higher would be needed.

As the contamination gradually reached the third-order limit, Melina had no choice but to abandon the attack.

She gazed intently at the Deep Sea Aid Society's fortress headquarters and said to Blake, "Bishop Blake, when you get back, write me a joint letter to ask the Holy Lord to allow me to call all the Grand Masters of the Order of the Lawful Knights over, or send another Archbishop. I think Vasily would be a good choice."

Blake said nonchalantly, "Fine, whatever."

Melina glanced reluctantly at the deep-sea fortress and gave the order to retreat.

The two then blocked the way for all the fourth-order heretics who were rushing towards them, buying the Knights of the Law time to retreat.

Once everyone was fully prepared, they left with their men.

The heretics inside the deep-sea fortress also stopped sending people out.

The figure that had been staring at the two remained standing there, watching Blake and Melina walk away.

Not long after, the Knights of the Law returned to the camp. Melina called the logistics department to take stock of the casualties and to take the wounded Knights of the Law for treatment.

At that moment, a support staff member ran over and said to Melina, "Archbishop, the school's tutor, Elena, claims to have an urgent matter and is waiting for you in the council chamber."

Melina paused for a moment, and since Blake was still there, she called him over and they went to the council chamber together.

"Archbishop, Headmaster, you've finally arrived." Elena patted her chest.

Melina sensed that the staff in the council chamber looked rather strange.

However, they did not mention that Elena had mistakenly believed they had died in battle because of the intense fighting situation.

“What intelligence do you have?” Blake asked.

Elena said, "While we were clearing out the heretical stronghold, the candidate saintess Phil accidentally discovered a mysterious altar hidden underground. The runes on this altar are a bit strange, but we can't figure them out. Celia said that there might be something wrong with this altar, so please be sure to send a rune master to investigate."

Blake asked in surprise, "Can't even Celia see the problem?"

Elena said, "Celia didn't go in, and I didn't let her in."

Blake frowned. "Why didn't you let her in?" Feeling threatened by Blake's gaze, Elena quickly replied, "The situation was like this..."

Elena quickly recounted the battle situation. When she heard that the Saintess Squad had easily defeated the fourth-tier mage, Melina showed surprise, while Blake remained calm, as if he had expected it.

He had been called upon to watch the Saintess Squad's matches live, so he knew their fighting strength better than anyone else.

As the league champion, if he can't even beat an ordinary fourth-tier mage, then he's unworthy of the title of world's number one.

After taking down the heretical stronghold with the help of Celia and the others, Elena changed the subject and told them about Phil's disappearance, the discovery of the underground space, altar, and magic circle. She emphasized that she was already close to the limit of a third-tier mage, which is why she didn't let Celia go in to investigate and instead chose to return early.

Blake laughed and said, "If it were someone else, we would indeed be worried about the pollution, but she is Celia. You don't need to worry about Celia's resistance to pollution. To be precise, there is no need to worry about any of the five Saintess candidates. Their resistance to pollution is very high, and even ordinary fourth-tier mages cannot compare to it."

Elena nodded: "I know, especially Phil. It's just that they can handle it, but the other students can't. I can't just leave them there to risk their lives and come back alone, can I?"

Melina nodded: "You did a good job. Don't worry about Blake's opinion. I'll call the array master over later to record the array and bring it back for study."

Elena nodded: "Okay, by the way, Celia hopes to come and check it out after she gets the magic circle."

Blake said, "No problem, let her see it."

Melina had no objections. She knew that Celia's talent in magic arrays far surpassed that of ordinary array masters. She was capable of leading the construction of city magic arrays, so who would question her?
Even Alvis, the strongest array master in the Holy Court, dares not question it now.

Elena bid farewell to Melina and the other woman, returned to the area where her group was stationed, found Celia practicing magic, and conveyed Black's words to her.

Celia nodded casually in response and continued practicing the weakened version of the Wind Field Domain.

Elena glanced at it and asked in confusion, "Chilia, aren't you an ice-type? Why are you learning wind magic?"

Celia said, "This spell might be effective against the contamination of the Golden Apple Stone Forest."

"Oh?" Elena looked closely and saw that the wind magic in Celia's hand had turned into a ball, and the magic was moving inside the ball.

Celia tossed the ball out, allowing it to expand and become a wind field that enveloped a person.

"An unfamiliar wind-based spell, a wind shield?"

“No.” Celia shook her head. “It’s a spell called [Wind Field Domain]. Its function is to create a wind field in an area.”

Elena's interest was piqued. "Oh? It sounds like an area-of-effect spell?"

"No."

"Is that a group blessing spell? Like, something that increases speed within a region?"

"Not at all."

"...Then what is the purpose of this wind field area?"

"Expand the domain to purify the air within it... This can keep pollution outside the domain's boundaries."

"Isolate from pollution..." Elena immediately sensed the significant effect of this spell.

The premise is that—

it works.

“Does it really work?”
