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

Chapter 622 She said she wouldn't let you go.

"So there was such a place under the sacred tree."

From a third-person perspective, Celia looked in amazement at the underground space before her.

"Is there no force in this world that doesn't like digging holes?"

As Celia made her comments, she curiously looked around at this peculiar space located beneath the sacred tree.

Tree roots are everywhere, forming underground passages that resemble a maze.

But this underground passage is entirely made of tree roots, with no soil at all.

In the middle area, there is a fairly large space where the tree roots, when covering it, form a shape that resembles an inverted bowl.

Celia sensed a strange and peculiar power emanating from this place. She recognized this power; it was none other than the withering magic power erupting within her body.

She frowned, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

She and Ross witnessed the entire conversation between Soles and Desola and learned some of the details of the matter.

However, she only knew that it was at the behest of the Elf King, but did not know the Elf King's purpose in assassinating her.

"I wonder how the Holy Court will react after news of my assassination attempt gets out," Celia thought to herself.

However, she has lost contact with the outside world; the puppet has no bracelets or other communication devices.

His main focus was on Soles, and he didn't pay attention to anything else.

After being injured, Celia was unable to control the puppet. If it weren't for Ross, she might not even have been able to share the puppet's perspective.

How could a person in a coma possibly have the ability to control external objects?

Just then, she suddenly saw five tree roots slowly emerge from the ground and wrap around Soles.

Celia perked up.

"coming."

Soles slowly made contact with the sacred tree.

The next moment, as if scalded by water, the sacred tree's roots suddenly contracted and sank directly into the soil, causing the surrounding withered energy to rapidly fluctuate.

Soles opened his eyes, looking around blankly, completely bewildered as to what had happened.

But the next moment, he immediately sensed something, raised his hand, and looked in astonishment at his fingers turning into sand-like particles that slowly dissipated into the air.

As Celia was watching, Ross's voice came from beside her: "Want to appear in front of him and let him experience what fear is?"

Celia immediately nodded: "Okay!"

While Soles was still in a daze, he suddenly saw a phantom image of Celia slowly appear in front of him.

He jumped up, pointing at Celia, "You, you..."

"Heh, do you think you can assassinate me without paying any price?" Celia sneered.

"Why are you here, Sacred Tree... Could it be..."

The girl walked slowly through the underground space with her arms crossed. "That's right, this is the price of assassination. You will slowly watch yourself dissipate into the air, unable to do anything. Those who steal the nutrients from the sacred tree will eventually have to return all the nutrients."

Soles was filled with shock and fear. The next second, he realized what was happening and tried to disappear into the shadows.

The next moment, he was pulled out of the shadows.

He was surrounded by the domain of the sacred tree, and he sensed that the sacred tree was repelling everything about him.

Therefore, he could not escape into the shadows, and all the power in his body was being taken back by the sacred tree.

This situation made him very anxious.

He looked at the phantom in front of him, made a quick decision, and a black light flashed, rushing towards Celia.

However, the light passed through Celia and struck the outer roots of the sacred tree.

This attack caused the magic in the area to become even more turbulent.

Soles had never encountered anything like this before, and he asked in astonishment and disbelief, "Are you... even human?"

"Guess?" Celia didn't speak, but just smiled at him.

Life was slipping away, his life was entering its final countdown, and he was no longer as composed as before; the loss of strength terrified him.

Everything he had came from power, and now that power was being drained away.

Just as he was racking his brains trying to figure out what to do, a sound came from outside.

Then, Disola rushed in from outside. He saw Soles also dissipating, his expression changed, and he rushed over to check on Soles' condition, asking, "What's going on? What happened?"

Soles looked at Celia and said, "It's Celia, it's her, she's draining the power from my body."

“Celia?”

The Elf King, who had followed Disola in, was taken aback and somewhat puzzled.

Soles exclaimed in surprise, "Can't you see her? She's standing right there!"

Disola and the Elf King looked over, but the place was empty; there was nothing there.

Disola frowned slightly. "It seems you're hallucinating."

"Hallucination?"

Soles was taken aback.

Just then, Celia chuckled and said, "Heh, do you think it's an illusion? Look again, besides you, your teacher is also dissipating."

Soles froze, then realized that, in addition to himself, Desola's body was also turning into particles and dissipating.

His barely concealed fear erupted once more.

"No, you can't do this! Teacher Disola is innocent! It was all my own doing, it has nothing to do with him!" Soles roared.

Disola and the Elf King exchanged a glance, looking at each other blankly, wondering who he was talking to.

"Are you talking to Celia right now?" Disola asked, frowning.

Soles nodded: "Yes, I'm sure it's her, it's definitely not an illusion. But I don't know why you can't see her."

Soles took a deep breath: "If you want to take my life, then take it. I didn't have many years left to live anyway. But my teacher is different; he has plenty of time."

"You still want to negotiate with me?" Celia raised an eyebrow. "It's precisely because you don't have many years left that I'm targeting others, you idiot."

Soles was stunned.

Celia smiled slightly: "By the way, it's not just your teacher, but also your colleagues and friends. All the sorcerers in the Withered Wood Organization who use the power of decay have experienced the same situation as you. If you don't believe me, ask your teacher."

Soles paused for a moment, looked at Disola, and asked, "Celia said that besides you and me, other people who use the power of withering also experience this problem. Is that true?"

Disola looked at him with a complicated expression and nodded. "Everyone I came into contact with after coming down from up here has experienced this strange condition. It's not just you and me."

The Elf King asked, "Did Miss Celia also say these words?"

Soles nodded and looked at the phantom of Celia.

The Elf King frowned slightly and looked over as well, his expression somewhat complicated.

Although he couldn't see Celia there, Celia could sense that he was indeed looking at her.

"Miss Celia, please let them go. They are innocent. If you have any problems, come at me."

He had never heard of such a thing before; it was too bizarre.

If Celia really is there...

The Elf King suddenly had an idea.

Will the dead tree perish because of this?
What a joke!
The Elf King said coldly, "I beg Miss Celia to show mercy. You are still in the City of Watchers, and we will do our best to heal you."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Soles.

A moment later, Soles's face slowly darkened.

"She said she wouldn't let Wang off the hook either."
