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

Chapter 544 Running Away If You Can't Win?
When she was playing with the fairy Elena in the ancient castle maze ruins, Celia successfully attempted to repair the spell she had cast.

Now, this craft will certainly not be forgotten.

It repairs wherever the enemy attacks. Although it cannot compare to a complete spell or spell combo, it is still usable and can continue to withstand attacks while reducing mana consumption.

Having a high total amount of magic power doesn't mean you should squander it recklessly.

Celia looked at Suna, who was trapped by the Ice Shield spell, with a look of bewilderment on her face.

Last year, faced with Suna's intimidation, she could only run away, and even had to ask for divine help to escape.

Now, she not only doesn't need to run, but she can even handle it with ease.

While the combination of Ice Shield spells couldn't stop her enchanted punches, she also couldn't break through them all at once.

This gave Celia the confidence to defeat Suna.

An ice bow appeared in Celia's hand. She drew back the bowstring, and a crystal arrow emerged from it, slowly condensing into a crystal arrow.

Suna sensed a strong crisis. Her body erupted with black flames, and her fists were filled with an aura that seemed to melt everything. The ice shield that enveloped her and the puppet showed signs of melting.

She and the puppet moved almost in sync, punching the ice shield.

The magic of the two seemed to resonate in some strange way. The next second, with a violent roar, the thick ice wall that Celia had cast with five layers of ice shield spells shattered. The resulting fragments and shockwaves swept in all directions, pulverizing all the buildings and ice sculptures that were swept away!

In an instant, all the heretics that Celia had temporarily frozen turned into shattered ice.

A cloud of gray demonic energy emerged from all the dead heretics and instantly entered Suna's body, causing her black flames to burn even more intensely.

At the same time, Celia released the bowstring, and the crystal arrow seemed to slice through the air, bringing up two streaks of white icy mist as it rushed towards Suna.

This spell is under Celia's precise control and cannot be dodged; its direction will adjust as the target dodges.

Even if you manage to dodge it, it will explode immediately upon getting close, causing AOE damage.

Suna sensed something, so she didn't intend to hide.

"Could a sorcerer's spells possibly compare to a golem?"

Suna snorted and transferred a large amount of magic power to the puppet, making it stand in front of her. She then charged towards Celia, her fist igniting with black flames that seemed to devour light, and slammed into the crystal arrow.

boom!
An even more violent aftershock occurred, and the entire stronghold was destroyed on the spot.

At the same time, the puppet was thrown away, and Suna was also thrown away and fell to the ground some distance away.

She had not lost her reason; she remained rational.

But at this moment, her eyes were filled with disbelief.

"This level of magic power is not something someone who has just entered the fourth tier should possess. Who exactly are you?"

Celia did not answer, and another arrow was formed.

This time it was a triple shot.

Although it didn't take as long to condense as before, the three arrows were still not to be underestimated.

So Suna gave Celia a deep look, her aura flared up, and she turned and ran outside.

"Want to run?"

Celia was taken aback, then immediately locked onto Suna, released the bowstring, and three arrows streaked across the sky, flying toward Suna.

At the crucial moment, Suna recalled the puppet and summoned it again, placing it behind her.

Bang!
The ice arrow exploded, and then the ice explosion spell detonated it again, severely damaging the puppet!
However, at the same time, Suna ran even faster thanks to the impact of the explosion.

Celia hesitated for a moment, then looked at Ross in her mind: "Lord Ross, should we go after them?"

Ross glanced at Celia with amusement. "Since you haven't revealed your true identity, it doesn't matter whether you pursue her or not."

Celia breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't want to chase, because Suna was so fast that it made her dizzy. In other words, if she really wanted to chase, she would have to ask Ross to speed her up.

However, once she accelerates to catch up with Suna, her combat power will inevitably decline due to the fear and dizziness caused by her acrophobia.

This was the first time Celia had encountered such a situation.

In the past, every heretic I encountered was determined to fight to the death and not give up until they were all defeated.

But when it came to Suna, it was the other way around. If she saw that she might not be able to win, she would just run away. It didn't even reach the point of contaminating her mind.

Celia knew that she couldn't kill Suna with just two spells; after all, Suna was a mage of the same rank.

If the opponent realizes they can't win, they'll run away. Unless Ross specifically requests that they be chased, Celia wouldn't dare to chase after them, in case she gets caught in an encirclement.

The final three arrows dealt a heavy blow to her puppet, enough to deter her from attacking.

As Suna's figure disappeared, Celia looked around and clicked her tongue.

“The entire base was destroyed; I suspect she did it on purpose.”

After the series of attacks, the entire stronghold was completely destroyed, with collapsed buildings scattered everywhere.

As for the shattered heretics, they were blown under the ruins and buried on the spot.

Celia carefully examined the area but found nothing of value in the base.

The most valuable item was the high-grade magic crystal used to maintain the magic circle, but that crystal had been contaminated, greatly reducing its effectiveness, so Celia didn't think much of it.

After wandering around for a bit and not finding anything of value, Celia looked at Ross.

"Lord Ross, there seems to be nothing here. What are we doing here?"

"Find the Heart of the Puppet".

Ross said calmly.

"But it's not here..."

"Do you think this is the only outpost here?" Ross countered.

Celia thought for a moment, then shook her head.

With such a grand operation, including the Styx Ferrymen, and having been active right under the nose of Dawn City for so long, it's impossible that they only have one stronghold.

This outpost is probably just a way to deal with the siege of Dawn City; the real outpost must be in a hidden place.

Ross's phantom appeared beside Celia, looking around and casually said, "The deathly aura here lingers for a long time; it doesn't seem like something a giant dragon could cause."

Ross didn't think much of it when he came over.

After all, the Starfall Continent is full of miracles, some of which are naturally formed, and some of which are created by the intervention of powerful sorcerers.

The former can generally exist for a long time, while the latter depends on the extent.

It's not uncommon for places to be filled with deathly aura due to the death of a powerful creature.

However, now that he knows the God-King is orchestrating events across the entire world, he sees every miracle as part of the God-King's plan.

Coincidentally, there was a miracle in Twilight Town that was only rumored and had no concrete evidence. Ross insisted on confirming whether it was caused by the death of a dragon, or by the god of life and death, or the god-king.

The first two are fine, but the last one requires us to think about what Zeuding really wants to do.

Ross looked into the depths, his gaze profound.

"Just keep going."

"Ok!"
