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

Chapter 681 was arranged in advance by Miss Xi.

"coming!"

Lana had no idea what Celia had gone through.

Not long after Celia closed her eyes, the surrounding tentacles intensified their attacks.

All the tentacles, which started as slime jelly, have solidified into firm shapes resembling tree branches and vines.

This shape has a very high defensive capability; even for a fifth-tier mage like her, it would take some time to deal with it.

Of course, she had no intention of attacking anyone.

Her two teammates' bodies are probably completely melted by now, and all she wants to do is leave.

This trip brought her a long-lost sense of crisis.

That feeling of constant danger has been rare since I entered the fourth tier, especially after joining the Royal Court and becoming a guardian mage to protect the Sacred Tree.

Now, the blood that had once been through all sorts of dangers was slowly boiling.

The Elf Forest is not safe, because the Temple of Resurrection is secretly releasing pollution, which often causes mutated monsters to appear. For low-level mages, these mutated monsters are extremely dangerous, and one wrong move and they'll be saying goodbye to their mothers.

Most elven sorcerers experience combat in their early stages, only gradually reducing it after reaching the fourth rank.

Because monsters at this level are rare, even if they do appear, they won't be left to fight alone. At the very least, a small team will be used to deal with them to avoid losses.

“We must take this situation, everything Miss Xi has done, back to the King. We absolutely cannot stay here.”

A burning flame appeared in Lana's eyes.

Her aura surged rapidly, and a vast amount of magic power was unleashed as if it were free, transforming into powerful defensive spells to resist the corrosive influence of the external tentacles.

The captain's voice came through: "If we really can't resist, we can quickly clear out a batch of tentacles and gain some breathing room."

"it is good."

Lana nodded.

They also possess some simple combo skills, and in dire circumstances, they can quickly clear out the current tentacles.

However, considering that the tentacles would become stronger, this method should be avoided if possible.

Zizizi!
The tentacles touched the defensive spells they had cast, emitting strange sounds. Outside the spells, traces of corrosion quickly appeared and then dissolved.

A strong vine would be completely corroded in less than a minute here.

Fortunately, using vines is the most basic and mana-efficient way to use nature magic. The vines regenerate after being corroded, taking over the corroded parts and blocking the advance of the tentacles.

Nevertheless, the tentacles were still slowly approaching them.

They could originally keep the tentacles' encirclement at least ten meters away, but now they are less than five meters away.

Furthermore, as Celia acts and the tentacles rage, this area is shrinking inward.

Time slowly passed, five minutes, ten minutes, twenty minutes...

Thirty minutes later, Lana saw that the vines blocking the corrosion were about to touch them, so she looked at the captain.

"team leader."

"Let's begin, push the front line out."

"it is good!"

Two fifth-tier mages unleashed a powerful surge of magical energy.

Moments later, the entire underground space was enveloped by natural elements.

Then, all the tentacles disappeared instantly, as if they had been deleted with a single click.

The entire underground space was unusually empty.

Lana was pale and gasped for breath.

"These tentacles are much stronger than before. I don't know if this method will be able to clear them all out next time."

“Yes,” the captain said seriously, “but it can only be used a maximum of two times.”

"After that, the spells have no effect on them anymore?" asked a fourth-tier team member who had been relegated to a support role.

"No, it's our magic that will run out."

"Uh……"

Numerous tentacles reappeared.

This time, the tentacles that emerged from the cave wall left almost no empty space; they covered the entire area, one after another, rushing towards the four people from all directions.

The tentacles did not appear only because their feet were specially protected and temporarily destroyed by magic.

Time passed by, becoming incredibly difficult.

Another fifteen minutes passed with difficulty.

The defensive perimeter shrank back to where everyone was.

Lana looked at the captain and found that the captain was also looking at her.

The two nodded silently, deleted the spell with a single click, and used it again. "This is the last time. Only use it as a last resort, otherwise, we're finished," the captain said.

Lana nodded seriously.

The remaining team member hesitated, but ultimately said nothing.

He could actually hold off the attack by himself, but only for a little while, for a minute or two, which wouldn't be a problem.

Although he had no say here, he had made a decision: if it came to a last resort, he would do everything in his power to buy everyone that one minute of time!

"Miss Xi saved me, how can I not repay her?"

Time passed slowly.

This time it's even more difficult.

In the final five minutes, they couldn't hold on any longer.

"Hang in there a little longer!" the captain shouted, his face pale.

Lana said, "It might not work."

The remaining team members stepped forward.

"My lords, please proceed. Rest assured, I can hold out for the rest of the time!"

Lana and the captain looked at him with surprise.

"real or fake."

"Please trust me!"

The team members began to unleash their potential.

Upon seeing this, the two men's expressions changed, and they nodded seriously.

Then, the final strangulation occurred.

The entire underground space was cleared, and the next second, a large number of tentacles reappeared.

At this point, the temperature in the underground space had become so high that even low-level mages could not survive there.

The fourth-tier team members stepped forward.

Numerous vines emerged, blocking the tentacles' attack.

"Hmph, don't underestimate me! Come on!" the team member roared!

Zizizi!
The tentacles touched the vines he released, instantly burning all of them, but the momentum did not diminish.

"This……"

The team members were dumbfounded.

Lana and the captain were also taken aback.

"No, this intensity is not right."

"They've become much stronger."

"It's over!"

This was something they didn't expect.

Despair crept onto the faces of the three.

Lana and the captain have lost their magic and can no longer burn their potential.

They could only watch helplessly as their teammates did nothing to stop the tentacles from getting closer.

Soon, the tentacles rushed towards them.

Just as they were about to close their eyes and welcome the tentacles' 'assimilation', all the tentacles suddenly stopped, ceased moving forward, and then slowly retreated, disappearing back into the cave wall.

Everyone was stunned.

Lana suddenly realized something and looked back in surprise.

Celia had already opened her eyes and was smiling at them.

“It seems I succeeded.”

The team member slapped his thigh and burst out laughing: "Haha, so I lasted five minutes!"

The captain glanced at the time and shook his head.

"No, it was Miss Xi who only used 55 minutes."

"You held on for 5 seconds."

"It's still because it takes 5 seconds for the tentacles to rush over."

Team member: "..."
