Chapter 418 Fourth-Order Mages Questioning Their Existence (Fifth Update, Requesting Monthly Tickets~)

The sorcerers who ran up from below were all shocked, their mouths agape, wondering if they had seen things wrong.

What did they see?
A third-tier mage defeated a... fourth-tier mage?
Among the mages who came to deal with the deep-sea monsters after receiving the lighthouse alarm, there were not only first, second, and third-tier mages. Since the guard did not know if there were any monsters above the fourth tier, a fourth-tier mage came as the commander.

The lighthouse top was suddenly blown off, and the ensuing explosion naturally alerted them.

Such intense magical fluctuations cannot be achieved at the third rank; only the fourth rank can reach them.

The third-tier mage who could fly thought the same thing.

But when they sensed the third-order fluctuations emanating from the girl sitting on the ground, they were all stunned.

The fourth-tier mage in command was completely bewildered.

Third-tier mages might not know the rank of the deceased sorcerer who was suspected of being a heretic, but they could sense it.

That's a genuine fourth-tier mage.

He wasn't a pseudo-fourth-tier mage temporarily promoted from the Golden Apple Stone Forest next door.

The fourth-tier mages looked at each other, completely bewildered.

They exchanged a glance and then landed together on top of the lighthouse.

The other sorcerers watched from a distance, not daring to approach, for fear of being caught in the crossfire.

Three sorcerers climbed the lighthouse. As they approached, one of them recognized Celia and asked with surprise and doubt, "Are you... Miss Phil's friend?"

Celia looked up at the other person.

It seemed to be an older nobleman from the previous banquet. Because he wasn't standing around Phil, but rather surrounded by many other nobles, that's why Celia had a vague impression of him.

But how come the other person remembers me?
Celia was somewhat surprised.

But now is not the time to be surprised. She called to the three of them, "Don't just stand there, come and help. See if this heretic is dead."

The three exchanged a glance, and upon learning that Celia was on their side, they relaxed and quickly walked over. They frowned as they looked at the pollution slowly emanating from Carmela's body after her death.

"They're heretics."

"How could a heretic be fighting Miss Celia inside the lighthouse?"

"Still a fourth-order heretic..."

Celia said to the corpse of the tower guard who had been thrown into a corner by the explosion, "This heretic entered the lighthouse and killed all the tower guards. I don't know what she's up to, but I'll kill her first."

The fourth-tier mage who knew Celia had a serious expression: "Deep-sea monsters are attacking, and there are fourth-tier heretics spying inside the lighthouse. There must be a connection between these events, and we must report this to Duke Pharos."

The others nodded, and another person immediately took out a bracelet and began to contact Duke Pharos.

Just then, a radiant figure flew in and landed on top of the lighthouse. Upon seeing Celia, the figure paused in surprise and exclaimed, "Celia? What are you doing here?"

Celia looked up and saw Bishop Holder of the temple, who seemed to have come to provide support after hearing the explosion.

Celia sighed helplessly and recounted what she had discovered.

Holder was also shocked on the spot: "You... killed a fourth-order heretic all by yourself?!"

Celia waved her hand modestly and said, "It was just a small thing."

Everyone: "..."

This is way too 'easy' to do.

Noticing that Celia was not in good condition, Holder said, "I'll take you back to the temple to rest."

Celia shook her head: "I just ran out of magic, I'm not injured, it's nothing serious, I just need to rest for a bit."

The fourth-tier nobleman was shocked: "What? You killed a fourth-tier heretic and you're not even injured?"

Able to advance to a higher level without taking damage?

Outrageous!

Celia glanced at the broken puppet beside her and said nothing. The others followed her gaze and suddenly understood.

So that's how it is. It turns out the puppet was the one who got injured.

so far so good.

If neither the puppet nor the people are injured, they should start to question the meaning of life.

wrong!

Even if the puppets fall apart, they should be questioning the meaning of life!
Because they are fourth-tier mages!
The surrounding third-tier mages could hear the discussion above. Compared to the fourth-tier mages who were almost questioning their existence, they were all excited and put themselves in Celia's shoes, fantasizing that they also had the strength to challenge those of higher tiers. They felt their bladders tighten and were extremely excited.

Celia said, "It seems like some deep-sea monsters are coming. You guys go down and provide support, don't worry about me."

Holder looked at the broken puppet and asked, "Do you need me to call someone to help you put the puppet away?"

Celia thought for a moment and then agreed: "Thank you for your trouble, Bishop Holder."

"Haha, no trouble at all. It's my honor to be able to do something for Miss S... Celia."

Holder was very respectful. Celia's victory over a fourth-tier opponent with her third-tier strength was worthy of respect in itself. In addition, given her status, Holder felt that even if she didn't become a saintess in the future, she would still be an influential figure in the Holy Court. Now was the time to befriend her.

However, he didn't force it; he just did some insignificant little things and didn't insist.

It would be best if Celia agreed; if she didn't, it would just be a bit of a pity.

The other three were not nobles from Shining City and did not know Celia's identity. Seeing how respectful Hold, who was also a fourth-tier cultivator, was to her, they couldn't help but become curious about Celia's identity.

Once they had flown down together, the noble sorcerer asked, "Hold, is this Miss Celia the child of some legendary sorcerer?"

Holder shook his head and smiled, "No, she comes from a remote temple and is now studying magic at the Holy Magic Academy."

The others felt it couldn't be that simple, but since Holder wouldn't say, they couldn't ask. They could only speculate and planned to investigate thoroughly when they got back, at least to get to know this powerful sorcerer.

He also encouraged and warned the younger members of the family to pursue Celia, while also advising them to be discerning and not to provoke her.

Boom!

A rumbling sound came from the sea, and in the sky, thick clouds obscured the stars, with flashes of lightning appearing from time to time, foreshadowing an impending storm.

On the lighthouse, Celia also felt the storm coming from the sea.

She took a breath, glanced at the knights from the Holy Court tidying up her puppets, and went to the badly damaged window to gaze at the distant, lightning-streaked ocean.

"Its power seems immense, but the monsters appearing so far only seem to be first or second tier?"

Celia paused, looked for a moment, took out her flying broom, turned to the knights and instructed them, "Just deliver this to the temple for me."

"As ordered!"

Celia nodded, boarded her flying broom, and left.

……

Meanwhile, in the center of Leites City, somewhere about three kilometers from the city lord's castle.

Phil walked slowly through the alley, carefully sensing the elements around him.

She could vaguely hear the alarm coming from the lighthouse, but that was beyond her control.

"According to Celia's directions, it should be around here... Huh?"

She suddenly noticed something unusual in one of the houses.

"This fluctuation doesn't seem like the contaminated fragments that Celia mentioned. It seems more like something that only exists in those strongholds... a soul altar?"

Phil summoned the puppet, smashed open the door of the house without hesitation, rushed into the house, came to the area of ​​contamination he sensed, moved aside the fireplace cover, and saw the cellar entrance that appeared under the fireplace.

"There's a soul altar inside the city?"

Phil jumped without hesitation.
