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

Chapter 550: Can you play this game?

Boom boom boom!
The aftershocks of the spell's explosion caused the surrounding walls to shake violently, and some soil and rocks fell from the ceiling.

The battlefield between Celia and the four has expanded from the entrance to the entire underground space.

Two melee mages with golems attempted to attack her with enchanted weapons, while a ranged mage's golems tried to prevent her golems from using a purification spell.

Celia gave the puppet an instruction to activate a purification spell to evade attacks without retaliating.

The two constantly weakening puppets were no match for its ability to continuously cast purification spells.

And she herself was no longer afraid.

As time went on, the attacks she faced appeared to be more ferocious, but the power of the spells had actually weakened considerably.

Bang!
Celia held her staff horizontally in front of her, blocking the shadow mage's assassination attempt, and used the momentum of the impact to fly backward.

But she wasn't flustered at all; instead, a smile appeared on her lips.

"almost."

A burst of cold, ice-attribute magic erupted from the staff, instantly chilling the entire underground space.

Suddenly, a faint mist of ice enveloped the entire underground space.

Then, the icy mist surged and transformed into enormous ice balls.

These ice balls coalesced around the four people, just as the opponents hurriedly cast protective spells—

"burst!"

Celia uttered a soft exhale, and the ice puck exploded instantly.

boom!
The aftershocks of the violent explosion cracked countless cracks in the ice shield in front of Celia, nearly shattering it.

When the icy mist dissipated, only four figures lying on the ground and a puppet that had lost control and was in a daze remained on the field.

This spell is a youthful version of the Frozen Domain, a prototype of the domain. It requires setting up the field in advance. Celia added some things to it, allowing it to quickly condense an ice ball with power comparable to an ice crystal missile.

If it were a fourth-tier mage at their peak, the explosion of the ice ball would at most cause them some trouble.

Celia knew this too, so after the first wave of suppression, she deliberately created the illusion that she had regained the rhythm of the battle, pretending to fight while running, quietly laying the groundwork, waiting for their strength to be weakened to a certain extent before striking them down in one fell swoop.

The higher the rank, the harder it is to kill.

After all, if things turn bad, you can always just run away.

"This technique probably won't be very effective against ordinary fourth-tier mages, but it's incredibly effective against heretics."

Celia manipulated the puppet to throw the four heretics together. After thinking for a moment, she decided not to kill them, but instead purified them while binding them.

"It seems there are people from the Temple of Radiant Ashes coming from outside. Hmm... four fourth-tier mages, which is quite a valuable trophy, especially since they're alive."

Celia picked up her staff and touched one of the people, instantly freezing him into an ice sculpture.

She used the same trick again, freezing everyone else into ice sculptures before turning her attention to the puppets.

Celia approached a puppet, rubbed her hands together, examined it carefully, and shook her head.

"The outer shell and most of the materials were damaged in the explosion, and there is also pollution, so it is not of much value."

With a swing of her staff, Celia blew the puppet's head off before taking out its heart.

"It seems that the Puppet Heart has also been corrupted... But it's not too serious. Natural Puppet Hearts have the ability to purify themselves. Let it be purified, and it can be sold for money."

Celia happily accepted three of the Puppet Hearts, then looked at the Water-type Melee Puppet Heart and picked it up with some disdain.

"The Water Puppet Heart wasn't contaminated... Hmph, that doesn't change the fact that you're the least valuable one."

After looting the corpse, Celia clapped her hands. Just then, Ross's voice came. "Alright, go and get that Death-type Puppet Heart. The battle outside is almost over."

"it is good."

Celia quickly arrived at the center of the underground space.

At this moment, the fragments of the divine essence had almost absorbed back the dissipated death energy.

This place is not the Golden Apple Stone Forest after all, so the area is actually not very large. In addition, the divine fragments absorb their own abilities, so the efficiency is very high. The whole process took less than half an hour to absorb most of the death energy.

The rest is no longer painful or itchy.

As Celia approached, the fragment of divinity, under Ross's control, severed its absorption of the death energy and slowly descended into Celia's hand.

A chilling sensation, completely different from ice magic, emanated from her hand, causing Celia to shiver.

"The Heart of the Puppet is so cold."

"Put it away first, the battle outside is over."

"it is good."

Celia nodded, stopped observing, and put the divine fragment back into her ring.

Then, just as she was about to take the four ice sculptures back to the ground, she suddenly felt a tremor and magical fluctuations coming from the ground.

A thought struck Celia. She removed her disguise, jumped onto a magical machine, sat down, placed her hands on either side of her body, and swung her legs back and forth, waiting for the person on it to get off.

Before long, Flora, along with the city lord and the bishop, led their men down the mountain.

When they saw Celia sitting in the middle of the underground space, along with four ice sculptures and a broken puppet beside her, they were stunned for a moment.

Flora looked at Celia in surprise: "Celia?"

"Hello, Bishop Flora," Celia greeted.

Celia hadn't had much contact with Flora, except for the time she met her during the Deep Sea Aid Society's annihilation campaign, but that didn't stop her from greeting her and pretending to be familiar with her.

Flora asked curiously, "What are you doing here? Isn't it study time now?"

Celia chuckled and said, "I'm already at level four, so studying isn't that important anymore."

“That makes sense.” Flora nodded, then suddenly realized something and exclaimed, “So, the ruins of that outpost we encountered on the road, you did it?”

Celia nodded, without denying it.

City Lord Boyce stepped forward, “Miss Celia’s name is renowned far and wide. Seeing is believing, and Miss Celia is indeed the strongest sorceress of the younger generation.”

The bishop agreed, saying, "That's right. When I was at the fourth rank, I couldn't possibly defeat four opponents of the same rank. Speaking of which, Miss Celia once helped the Temple of Dawn capture a high priest who had committed a heinous crime."

Celia pursed her lips, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

She still remembered what she overheard: they had an affair with a high-ranking person in Dawn City, and it was because of this person's protection that they were able to act so arrogantly under his nose for so long.

Although she didn't know whether they were from the city lord's side or the temple's side, Celia didn't have a high opinion of either of them.

Therefore, she had to be more polite to the two of them, and simply greeted them without saying anything else.

She looked at Flora and asked, "Bishop Flora, what's the situation up there?"

Flora looked at the bishop and Boyce, speechless, and said, "It's a pity that those two fifth-order heretics got away."

Celia was surprised. Three against two, and they even had a purification spell to weaken the opponent, yet they still let them escape?
Can you play?
