After thinking about it, Celia decided to go and take a look.
Upon reaching the lighthouse, Celia crossed the fence and entered the lighthouse gate.
Looking up from here, the lighthouse is even more magnificent, like a "stabilizing needle" piercing straight into the sky.
Upon getting closer, Celia immediately sensed faint traces of pollution emanating from the lighthouse.
There really was something inside.
Celia went up and knocked on the door.
Lighthouses are most useful at night, so there are lighthouse keepers on duty during this time.
No matter how much Celia knocked, there was no response from inside.
"Did I come at the wrong time? The tower guard hasn't arrived yet?" Celia muttered to herself.
Ross said irritably, "Is it possible that the tower guard is up there and can't hear the knocking?"
"Ah? Oh right..."
Celia's cheeks flushed slightly.
"What should I do?"
Celia fell into deep thought.
After a moment, she said eagerly, "Why don't we just force our way in?"
The lighthouse's gate doesn't have any runes or magic circles; there are only magic circles around the entire structure. However, the purpose of these magic circles is to stabilize the building and prevent it from collapsing in wind, rain, or waves. They don't provide any defensive or counter-attack capabilities.
After all, it's just a lighthouse, not a turret or a mage tower.
Celia can't pick locks.
However, she is an ice mage.
Ice magic can freeze everything and make everything brittle.
Of course, even without magic, a single kick would shatter the lighthouse's wooden door on the spot.
Just as Celia was about to cast an ice spell buff on the gate to open it, a series of violent explosions suddenly came from the sea.
Then, a series of urgent alarms sounded from the lighthouse.
Celia remained calm, showing no surprise: "I knew it."
Chapter 416 One-on-One Fight Against a Fourth-Order Heretic
Besides guiding ships, lighthouses have another very important function.
Monitor the ocean.
Monsters at sea can sometimes be more terrifying than those on land.
It is said that a deep-sea monster riot once occurred in the city of Leites. Monsters are not so bad, but when these monsters rioted, they also caused the sea to rise up with waves hundreds of meters high, intending to submerge the entire city.
That is why Duke Pharos was determined to wipe out all the monsters in the near sea, leaving not a single one alive.
After clearing out the monsters, the next step is to build a lighthouse.
Now, the lighthouse is issuing a warning.
This also means that a large number of monsters have appeared at sea.
Celia glanced at the lighthouse and summoned the puppet.
"Let's help deal with the monsters from the deep sea first, then we can talk about other things."
Just as she was preparing to approach the sea to deal with the sea monsters, Ross suddenly said, "Don't go, go into the lighthouse, now."
Celia was taken aback, but without suspicion, she cast an ice spell on her hand, covering the bolt of the lighthouse's wooden door, and then pushed it hard.
The bolt shattered like glass, and Celia easily entered.
"Modify the lighthouse's magic circle... never mind, I'll do it."
Ross manifested a phantom image directly, his mental tendrils touching the reinforced array inside the lighthouse, and began to modify it.
After a moment, he stopped and shook his head: "The materials are too low-grade, but it's enough."
"What's wrong?" Celia asked.
"Go up there and you'll find out."
Celia was a little confused.
So she chose to abandon her thinking and quickly ran towards the lighthouse as instructed.
The lighthouse is also multi-level, with each level connected by a spiral staircase.
When Celia arrived at the third floor, a faint smell of blood wafted from above.
The girl's expression changed, and she activated Lightness and Speed Techniques, quickly running towards the top of the tower.
Not long after, she arrived at the room at the top of the tower.
This lighthouse is structurally different from the lost lighthouse. The light projected onto the sea is not at the top of the tower, but inside the tower, on the top floor, where a huge magical light shines directly towards the sea.
The venue here is also very large.
As it came up, the smell of blood became increasingly strong.
Upon arriving at the room at the top of the tower, I saw a person standing by the window, hands behind their back, looking out at the sea.
It was a woman, and behind her were three corpses. The corpses were dressed in formal attire, their faces showing infatuation and horror, their eyes wide open in death, and blood flowing down their necks onto the ground.
From their clothes, Celia could tell they were lighthouse keepers, and the woman standing with her hands behind her back...
After Celia came up, she slowly turned her head, revealing her beautiful face.
"Hehe... I sensed you when you opened the door and came in. I thought you would run away, but I didn't expect you to be so bold as to come up here."
She was beautiful and had a lovely voice, but she gave Celia a strange feeling.
It's as if... this isn't her true appearance.
Celia gripped her staff, watching the other person cautiously.
"who are you?"
"Does it matter?" the woman asked back. Before Celia could answer, she suddenly realized, "I understand, you want to die knowing why."
She smiled and said, "Alright then, remember my name, Carmela, a shark from the deep sea."
Terrifying magic and corruption erupted from Carmela, sweeping towards Celia.
Unlike the fourth-order heretics they had encountered before, Carmela's corruption affected Celia entirely, with only a trace of corruption leaking out to the outside world.
Celia had an epiphany.
The faint pollution I sensed outside just now was probably leaked by Carmela.
Her control over power was far superior to that of any fourth-order heretic that Celia had ever encountered.
Without hesitation, the girl raised her staff, and a purification spell against the pollution immediately erupted.
Carmela's smile vanished: "A lackey of the Holy Court? Tell me where you got your purification spell, and I might spare your life."
Celia remained silent, only focusing on increasing the intensity of the purification spell.
Unlike her previous use of purification, this time she applied the Mage's Hand to the purification spell, turning it into a beam of light that directly collided with the incoming pollution.
Although the light was scattered in many ways, the remaining rays still blocked the impact of the pollution.
This is the power of attribute advantage; even if the opponent is stronger, you can resist it with the buffs brought by attribute advantage.
The purification beam even penetrated the pollution and entered Carmela's body, causing her negative effects.
Carmela frowned, her eyes icy: "Hmph, you won't talk? Heh, in that case, stay here. I'll take your face."
As she spoke, she charged toward Celia.
Celia manipulated her puppet to block Carmela's path, unleashing layer upon layer of ice shield combos to slow her down.
She raised her staff, and a cloud gathered above her.
Clusters of singularity fire, resembling starlight, emerged from the staff and drifted towards the floating clouds.
"Although my Singularity Flame isn't as strong as Doris's, it's still enough to detonate the Ice Rain spell."
As the strongest spell combination, although Celia cannot learn the Dimensional War Hammer Cannon, she can still learn the Singularity Fire.
Even a basic level of singularity fire can be blended into ice rain through elemental harmonization and then kneaded into a large ice ball.
This is the strongest spell combination that Celia can currently perform.
The puppet also stores some spells, but it can only store ice and water spells, and only up to the mastery level. It's better to cultivate on your own and then use the puppet to cast them.
Celia remained calm and composed, without panicking.
"The fact that Lord Ross didn't use a substitute means that I have a chance to defeat this fourth-tier mage. Her attitude suggests that she can tell I'm a third-tier mage, so she didn't even summon her puppet and attacked casually, thinking she could easily kill me. I can take advantage of her underestimation of me."
A simple battle plan came to Celia's mind.
Carmela continued her charge.
However, every time she breaks through a layer of ice shield, that layer explodes, hindering her speed.
Then, a new ice shield appeared.
Carmela frowned, looking a little impatient.
"Can't you just obediently wait for me to come and reap your face? The resistance of an ant, the difference in rank, you dare to overstep your bounds?"
She looked at the puppet, preparing to give it a good beating, when a faint sense of crisis suddenly entered her heart.
Carmela frowned and looked up at the top of Celia's head. She saw that the condensed clouds had shrunk and turned into the shape of an ice ball.
In ice hockey, there are countless tiny stars.
"Go away!"
Celia gave a soft shout, and the ice puck flew towards Carmela.
Danger!
Carmela's expression changed, she immediately stopped, raised her hand, and cast a protective spell on herself.
boom!
An explosion of ice and fire rang out, and a figure was sent flying backward from the blast.
I'm a little short of 2000 monthly votes, please help!
Chapter 417 Lift Your Skull (Referring to the Lighthouse)
As is well known, the combat power of sorcerers in this era largely comes from puppets.
A sorcerer without a puppet is like a toothless tiger.
However, even a toothless tiger, compared to a third-tier tiger, is still a difference between a tiger and a cat.
Of course, that was just a regular third-tier mage.
Having entered the deep realm of the gods twice and received divine guidance and blessings, Celia is at least at the level of a young tiger. Although she is not as strong as an adult tiger, she still poses a certain threat.
Especially now, Carmela, as a tiger, is stretching her neck under her teeth.
Such underestimation of their opponent was not something Celia would let go of.
The ice ball constructed by the Ice Rain spell was just the beginning.
After she was blown away due to underestimating her opponent, the puppet rushed over with the Myriad Lights Sword, the sword glowing with the light of purification magic, and stabbed at Carmela, giving her no time to catch her breath.
The danger emanating from the Thousand Lights Sword prevented Carmela from summoning her puppet, forcing her to hastily use magic to deal with it.
The purification light emanating from the sword naturally weakened the spells she cast.
There was another thing that caught her off guard.
The strength of the "Myriad Lights Sword".
She thought it was just an ordinary sword, maybe a little cool, but who knew that after being enchanted, it could even break fourth-order spells—even if it was used hastily and weakened by a purification spell, it was still a fourth-order spell!
