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

Chapter 490 The magic circle was destroyed? It has nothing to do with Celia.

When one uses power from the abyss, one's sanity is eroded.

The longer it is used, the more it is eroded, and the more rational it will gradually lose.

Losing one's mind means the attack becomes increasingly violent, but... without any strategy.

Like an out-of-control dump truck, it is incredibly powerful, but very easy to dodge.

The Dragon Rider Captain's aggression gradually increased, and his spells became stronger and stronger, but Celia and Anko became more and more adept at dealing with him.

"This is Dragon Island's home ground. Although he is a heretic, he is also a member of the Dragon Rider Legion. Killing him is definitely not an option. The best way is to stall him and make him completely lose his mind."

Celia squinted at the crazed dragon rider captain. "The rest is none of our business!"

Mad heretics don't distinguish between friend and foe; they only distinguish between contaminated and uncontaminated.

They will attack any life they see, releasing demonic energy to corrupt everything.

As the effects of pollution deepen, the forces from the abyss gradually replace the original forces, making them even stronger.

However, purification techniques can counteract pollution.

As the pollution intensifies, the purification spells cast by the puppets by Celia become increasingly effective at weakening the Dragon Knight Captain.

In other words, the stronger the Dragon Knight Captain, the weaker the Dragon Knight Captain.

Until——

boom!
The sword energy, imbued with gray mist and demonic light, slammed into the magic array on the wall, creating ripples.

Celia lured him to the wall, enticing him to attack the wall and the magic circle.

"The strength of this wall formation is not high. It will be broken in no time under the full force of a fourth-level mage. Let the people of Dragon Island break the formation and see what they have to say."

Celia thought to herself.

She didn't know whether the sudden doubling of the price of volcanic rock was intentional on the part of this heretic or authorized by the Blue Dragon Empire.

But they are all the same in front of her.

It's all the Dragon Knight Legion's fault for making things difficult for everyone.

There's nothing wrong with charging money; after all, Dragon Island Volcano belongs to them. If they go in to collect resources and want to take them away, they'll definitely have to pay a price.

But if the cost is higher than buying directly, then it's extortion.

Confiscating items without paying in gold coins is tantamount to robbery.

If it was the work of heretics, to incite conflict in conjunction with the poison on the volcano and recreate the scene from a hundred years ago, then it would be Dragon Island that would cause trouble for the Tower of Depths, and it would have nothing to do with Celia.

If Dragon Island tacitly approves of this, then it has even less to do with Celia.

Celia did not massacre the Dragon Riders, nor did she attack Dragon Island. She even helped Dragon Island uncover the heretical spy, and the magic circle was destroyed by the heretics.

If the people inside manage to escape, then it was opened by heretics. Go tell the Tower of the Fallen!

Unless everyone on Dragon Island is from the Tower of Depths, Celia doesn't know how she could lose.

There is now a consensus across the entire continent to eradicate heretics, and what the Tower of Depravity is doing is no different from what the Deep Sea Alliance and the Arctic Blood Alliance did in the past—they are all causing trouble in other people's capitals.

What? You're indifferent to the heretics causing trouble in your home, and you even want to make things difficult for the righteous sorcerer who tries to stop them?
The Imperial Allied Forces are coming right away, eager to help you solve your problems!
Celia was frantically setting flags in her mind.

Boom boom boom——!
Sword energies slammed into the magic array on the wall, and the ripples of the array spread rapidly, slowly extending into the distance.

With his reason fading, the Dragon Knight Captain had lost all judgment; the only thing restraining his desire to attack was his obsession with killing Celia. Kill! Kill! Kill!

Celia leaped left and right along the wall, dodging the chaotic sword attacks.

Occasionally, the puppet would get close, and she would rush to the other side of the wall.

The magic array binds the walls together, making them indestructible until the array is destroyed.

The magic circle is not a single entity; it has several nodes. This is to prevent a sudden attack from exceeding the limit of the magic circle's tolerance and causing the entire magic circle to break.

The main purpose of this magic circle is not to block passage and collect protection fees, but to block volcanic ash and prevent volcanic eruptions from harming Dragon Island.

With the roar of sword energy, the contaminated sword blades struck the magic array, causing the ripples of the array to gradually expand and begin to flicker.

With the dragon rider captain going completely berserk, finally, with a sound like shattering glass, the magic circle here could no longer withstand the attack and shattered, revealing a huge hole.

The sword energy remained undiminished, slamming violently into the wall and smashing a section of it to pieces.

Celia smiled slightly, turned around and ran towards another node.

Behind them came the dragon rider captain and the puppet, charging in close behind.

At this moment, everyone was stunned.

"The wall is breached, everyone run!"

Someone shouted, and everyone snapped out of their daze. They immediately saw an opportunity to leave and used their own escape methods to file out through the gaps in the wall and the magic array.

The dragon riders could only guard the gate; there weren't enough men to block the entire gap. In the end, they only managed to stop a few unlucky souls, while the rest could only helplessly watch them leave.

That shout of "Run!" came from Anke.

She adjusted her glasses and saw that Celia was able to easily outmaneuver the irrational fourth-order heretic by herself. After thinking for a moment, she decided to follow her to help Celia deal with any unexpected situations.

"The Dragon Rider Legion and Dragon Island couldn't possibly be unaware of the situation here; they should be making their move soon."

Compared to the few things a low-level mage might find inside the Dragon Island volcano, the damage caused by the destruction of the magic circle was far greater.

If they stand idly by, the volcanic ash that blankets the entire sky and darkens the earth, leaving it only illuminated by volcanic lava and the light of magic arrays, will teach Dragon Island a lesson.

Sure enough, just as Anke passed by, a large number of vines suddenly rose from the ground, attempting to trap Celia and the Dragon Rider Captain.

As if she had known all along, Celia suddenly accelerated, using Swiftness and Lightness spells to escape the vine area, leaving only the Dragon Knight Captain and the puppet captured.

The dragon rider captain and the puppet brandished their longswords. The ice enchantment had completely disappeared, replaced by a demonic contamination enchantment, turning everything pitch black as they severed the vines in half.

However, more vines sprouted out, binding him and the puppet tightly.

A voice came: "Oh? You were able to detect my spell? Interesting."

Anke looked up and saw a sorcerer holding a staff descending from the sky and slowly landing on the ground.

He didn't look at the dragon rider captain and the puppet who were struggling with the vines, but instead looked at Celia with great interest.

"This doesn't seem like your usual self. Such a strong disguise makes me a little curious about your identity."

He paused for a moment, then added, "I almost forgot to introduce myself. I am Talos, a disciple of Erina, and the commander of the Third Regiment of the Dragon Riders."

Celia performed the Ishtar greeting. "Hello, Lord Talos. My name is Celia. I am an ordinary student at the Holy Magic Academy and am currently traveling on Dragon Island. It is a pleasure to speak with you."

Hmm? Celia?
