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

Chapter 555 Did they succeed? If they succeeded

The Life faction's spells may not be good at other things, but when it comes to healing, no other faction can rival them.

Holy healing spells also emphasize recovery time and slow healing. They first stop the bleeding, improve the patient's condition, and then allow the patient to recover gradually.

Life magic, on the other hand, is completely unreasonable; it restores you to your original state on the spot, without leaving a trace.

With [Death Resistance] and [Near Death Resuscitation], although Celia is still fragile, she has the resistance strength of a melee mage. Even against the most countered Shadow Mage, she can avoid one-hit kills or fatal true damage.

Just like now, this shadow mage of the same rank passed through her defenses and dealt her some damage.

In the past, this would have affected Celia's condition, but now, the healing spell from the puppet has restored her to normal in an instant.

Seeing the shadow mage escape after a single strike, Celia narrowed her eyes.

"You think I didn't notice you?"

The staff emitted a powerful magical light, and then an ice shield imbued with holy light appeared around the shadow mage.

Holy light alone cannot perceive the other party, but the Mage's Hand can.

Celia discovered that this spell became increasingly powerful at higher levels.

In the past, she only used it as a means of mental attack, cosplaying as a mental mage. Later, as her proficiency with the Mage's Hand improved, she gradually refined its use, making it useful for detecting and sensing the target's attacks.

Finally, as her Mage Hands reached a level of mastery, she could link it with other spells, finely controlling the effects of spells and becoming invincible in the combination of combo techniques.

Now, she discovered that in addition to these, the Mage's Hand could also sense details that were normally difficult to detect, such as the powerful disguise of a Shadow Mage.

Although they couldn't see each other, they could vaguely sense each other.

This is enough!

As the ice shield spell enveloped her, an ice bow appeared in Celia's hand, and she began to charge it up.

The Shadow Mage clearly wouldn't sit idly by and wait to be killed.

He tried the same trick again, preparing to use the ability to penetrate reality to leave the ice shield's range.

As he approached the ice shield, Celia's lips curled into a smile.

"That's exactly what we've been waiting for!"

The ice shield exploded the next moment, and the resulting energy shock threw the shadow mage into a panic.

He can penetrate spells that solidify into a physical form, but he still cannot avoid spell attacks that occur after an explosion.

after that.

Celia released the bowstring, and the crystal arrow shot forward like lightning, exploding as it approached the Shadow Mage.

"burst!"

Double explosion!

Not finished yet.

Celia cast her spell again, and the ice storm condensed into lumps of ice. Under the precise control of the mage's hand, these ice lumps rushed towards the shadow mage one after another, unleashing explosion after explosion, giving the opponent no chance to breathe.

"Hmph, you think you can threaten me with just one sorcerer?"

Celia gave a soft snort and continued casting spells to relentlessly suppress her opponent.

The ice mage's control and damage output were on full display.

The battle here also attracted the attention of many nobles and high-ranking mages. When they looked over, they saw that Celia was constantly... casting spells into the air?

The shadow sorcerers remained hidden in the shadows, not revealing their forms. They didn't know what was wrong with Celia, so after watching for a while and not seeing the shadow sorcerers being forced out, they chose to stop paying attention and instead looked at the battle in the sky.

How can a battle between five fifth-tier mages in the sky compare to the excitement of a fourth-tier mage casting a spell that seems to be going insane?
No one noticed, not even the five people fighting above.

Under the relentless bombardment, the aura emanating from the Shadow Mage grew weaker and weaker.

Celia had been keeping an eye on it.

Unlike other cults, the Twilight Cult's members tend to flee.

"No matter what, we cannot let this shadow mage leave."

Celia made up her mind.

Although she didn't know how the shadow mage sensed the Death faction puppet heart she had obtained, whatever it was, she couldn't let the other party leave unscathed.

However, she was just a traditional sorcerer. Under the relentless bombardment, the shadow sorcerer was overwhelmed. Sensing a life-or-death crisis, he decisively unleashed a spell, instantly escaping the battlefield and running into the distance.

Seeing this, Celia locked onto the opponent with her charged ice crystal missile and charged towards it.

Unfortunately, this alone was not enough to kill the opponent who was determined to escape.

Celia panicked. She looked decisively at Ross in her mind and pleaded urgently, "Lord Ross, please help me stop this guy from leaving!"

Ross chuckled. "That requires you to relinquish control of your body."

"it is good!"

Celia immediately agreed and relinquished control of her body.

Ross, now in human form, looked at the departing shadow mage and smiled.

In a flash, he had already made Celia's body disappear.

Just because Celia doesn't know spatial magic doesn't mean Ross doesn't.

After predicting the target's direction of travel using his mental power, he directly used spatial magic to teleport to the target's vicinity.

Celia watched, expecting Ross to instantly defeat his opponent, but was taken aback when she saw Ross simply raise his hand, mark his opponent, and then use a spell she didn't recognize.

"Lord Ross, what are you doing?"

Ross casually said, "I'm applying a mark, a special spell that can cause high amounts of true damage when the mark is stacked to 30 layers."

"True damage?" Celia blinked.

"Just think of it as instantly killing the opponent." Ross was too lazy to explain.

"Oh, that's how it is."

Although she didn't understand why Ross would do this, Celia chose to believe him.

……

At the same time, the two fifth-tier heretics who were fighting Boyce and his two companions with sweeping, powerful attacks sensed the retreating shadow mage and exchanged a glance, reading the meaning they wanted from each other's eyes.

"Looks like they've succeeded."

"They're not dead, and they even left. They must have succeeded. Shall we retreat?"

"withdraw!"

The two launched a more intense attack without hesitation, and then took advantage of Boyce and his two companions' defense to leave decisively.

Boyce was furious. "The City of Dawn isn't a place you can just come and go as you please!!"

After saying that, he rushed out.

Flora and the bishop exchanged a glance. The bishop then rushed out, and Flora, after a moment's thought, followed in their footsteps.

Fighting within the city limits of Dawn City always feels restrictive. However, if you can force your opponent to retreat and track them outside the city, you can fight with complete freedom.

With this in mind, the two sides rushed out of the city one after the other, disappearing into the horizon like lightning.

Inside the castle, the crowd discussed the matter animatedly, expressing their amazement.

"These two who broke in were too fierce."

"They're quite bold, but I wonder if they can escape the city lord's pursuit."

"They must have some confidence to come, so it won't be easy to arrest them."

"I just don't know who they are or why they chose this day to cause trouble."

"Who cares? We'll know when the city lord returns."

"That banquet..."

Lesotho stepped forward: "Friends, let the banquet continue. Father will surely handle it."

As he spoke, he looked around, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Where did Celia go?
Was she the target of those enemies?
Lesotho shook its head.

It can't be such a coincidence.
