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

Chapter 735 How come you still have magic power even after running out of magic power for so long?
boom! boom! boom!
The raindrops transformed into palm strikes falling from the sky, relentlessly bombarding the combined barrier constructed by the Saintess Squad.

The girls gritted their teeth, slowly advancing as they withstood the palm strikes that resembled the full-force blows of a fourth-tier mage.

They moved forward at a pace that was neither fast nor slow.

By this time, about an hour had passed, and the starting point behind them could no longer be seen. The surrounding area was filled with highly corrosive water, which slowly converged into streams along their path through the canyon, and the water level was rising higher and higher.

Fortunately, Celia is an ice mage and has a special attack against water. Even if this water is special, it is still water and can be frozen.

Celia and Benovia's faces also turned a bit pale. The others were also clever and quickly figured out what Celia and Benovia wanted to do. Although they didn't know their purpose, they still cooperated and put on a show.

Celia and Phil have learned the art of disguise from Ross, and Benovia also knows it, so it's not difficult for them to disguise themselves. It's Doris and Anko who are a bit more difficult to deal with.

Finally, Anke took out the collected materials on the spot and prepared a potion, claiming it was a potion to restore magic power, which she and Doris took.

Then their faces turned pale.

“If this continues, we might not be able to hold out for much longer.” Doris’s face was pale, and she kept glancing at Anke.

Anke's face was the same. Luckily, she had also taken it, otherwise she probably would have been beaten up by Doris.

Anke knew what Doris wanted to ask, but now was not the time to say those things. She gritted her teeth and said, "My magic can last for another two hours."

"Two hours..."

"It's alright, I have some potions to restore magic power. Although their effectiveness is greatly reduced during combat, they can still buy me some time."

As she spoke, she took out a bottle of medicine and gave it to Doris.

Doris glanced at the potion bottle suspiciously, but ultimately took it anyway.

Her expression softened.

Looking at the two of them, Celia couldn't help but ask Ross in her mind, "Lord Ross, what did Anko give Doris to eat?"

Ross looked at him strangely. "It's a potion that makes people feel tired. It also makes you feel weak when you're using magic, similar to how you feel when you're forcibly treating a large number of people in the Elven race."

Upon hearing this, Celia immediately understood.

Ross said, "This little girl probably got her inspiration from those hair-changing materials. The potions she's making now are probably anything but proper."

Celia wholeheartedly agreed.

Which pharmacist could concoct a potion that makes someone feel weak but isn't actually weak, and also allows them to control their facial expressions?
Celia suspects that Anko might have more than just this, but she doesn't know what kind of weird stuff Anko has researched yet... She should ask her sometime, lest she accidentally fall for it later.

Celia looked ahead, but the canyon still seemed endless on the other side.

Doris looked up at the sky and muttered to herself, "Is this all the challenges this canyon offers?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a roar came from the dark water that had gathered into a small river ahead. Then, a huge fish made of water leaped out of the water, flipped in the air, and slammed into the barrier constructed by the Saintess Squad.

"You jinx!" Celia cursed, quickly maintaining the barrier.

The barrier is spearheaded by her, who possesses the Mage's Hand, and she controls the combo attacks released by others. Phil's elemental harmony also plays a significant role in this.

As if it were a signal, more and more fish were leaping out of the water, causing great trouble for their barrier.

Doris looked at Celia: "Celia, can we freeze the whole river?"

"No, I need to conserve my magic power, otherwise what if we can't reach the end?"

"Ok."

The addition of another attack method slowed down the Saintess Squad's advance.

Fortunately, this level is still within their tolerance range.

Celia looked into the distance, but still couldn't see the end. She could only see a jungle in the distance, which gradually disappeared as they moved forward.

She couldn't help but ask Ross, "Lord Ross, will our magic last long enough to reach the other side?"

Ross looked at Celia and the others trudging on thin ice and chuckled, "More than enough, they can make two round trips without any problem."

"That's good."

Celia was relieved.

"So, is there anyone watching over this first phase?"

Ross smiled without saying a word. "That must be it," Celia thought.

Rose's attitude usually means he guessed correctly.

Having spent so much time with Ross, Celia could guess his meaning even if he didn't say anything.

"Then let's keep acting!"

As a result, Celia and the others' condition 'deteriorated'.

When the time Anke mentioned arrived, they appeared extremely weak, and the protective barrier they had constructed was constantly rippled under the attack, with one layer breaking off every now and then, forcing them to release a new one.

In the shadows, a pair of eyes were watching the expedition team.

From its perspective, Celia and the others were dazzlingly beautiful.

That was the light of divine covenant.

"They...are very suitable..."

"Look...at them...to their limits..."

The offensive did not increase, but only remained at a certain level.

that's it.

Another hour passed.

Celia and the others still seemed to be squeezing out all their potential; their pace of progress looked slow, but in reality, it was quite fast.

Those eyes showed confusion.

"Why……?"

Another hour passed.

They are still the same.

Those eyes were filled with confusion.

"Why... can you still hold on..."

"Almost...the end..."

Another hour passed.

The rain gradually subsided, and ahead, the canyon was no longer what it used to be.

Celia shouted, "It's right ahead! We did it!"

Benovia looked relieved: "Finally, I thought I was going to collapse halfway there."

"Just a little bit more! Burn! My magic!" Celia shouted.

So everyone rushed over and reached the finish line, which was outside the canyon.

Just then, a phantom slowly appeared in front of them.

As the phantom appeared, all the corrosive water around it quickly dissolved and seeped directly into the ground, revealing the open ground around it.

The phantom materialized very quickly, and before long, a strange... demonic creature appeared before everyone.

"Defeat me...and you'll get a reward..."

Celia looked desperate: "We are already at our limit and can't defeat you at all. Let us go. We just want to see what the second phase will be like."

"No...no...you...are perfect...prey..."

A surge of magical energy emanated from the monster.

"In order to... defeat... you... I... specifically... expended... magic power..."

"bring it on!"
