Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint

Chapter 144 Mowing the Lawn!

"Ouch——!!!"

A howl, similar to that of a wolf, reached the ears of the five running people.

Their expressions remained unchanged as they continued running forward.

They are about to pass through the gap between the mountains and enter the Gold Coast area.

Doris's voice reached everyone's ears: "This is our first time fighting together. I don't know your strengths. I need someone who can use control spells to step up and control all the monsters that are chasing us after we reach the Gold Coast."

“I have control drugs, but I can’t gather them together; I can only slow them down,” Anke said.

“I can control it,” Benovia said. “A second-tier nature spell, Blue Vine Entanglement, is enough.”

"Anke, do you have any potions that make all targets within range more susceptible to spell damage?"

"Have."

“Alright, let’s quickly plan the tactics. After Benovia takes control, I’ll use wind magic to gather the monsters together. An will use a potion to make them more vulnerable. After Celia freezes them with ice magic, I’ll finally use fire magic to melt them all! Phil, you don’t need to attack. Just observe the situation and provide healing if necessary.”

"Ok."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

This tactic is simple and effective.

In the blink of an eye, the five of them, along with the puppet, had already rushed to the Gold Coast.

"Do it!"

Doris shouted, and Benovia had already manipulated the puppet to raise her hand.

"Entwined with blue vines!"

From beneath the golden sand, countless blue vines shot skyward, imprisoning the first monsters that rushed in. Those that rushed in later, once inside this area, also met the same fate of being imprisoned by the vines.

However, this spell cannot imprison for long; after only a few seconds, some demons are already trying to break free of the vines.

Seeing this, Doris waved her staff.

"Wind Vortex!"

The Wind Vortex spell is a first-tier spell, but when used by a second-tier mage, it becomes stronger and more powerful than when used by a first-tier mage.

Especially when facing bound monsters, the smaller monsters have already been swept into the vortex, while the large monsters that resemble lions and tigers are also slowly being sucked in.

Meanwhile, Celia had already manipulated the puppet to approach the monster horde.

"Frost!"

The dense moisture on the coast instantly turned into ice crystals, enveloping a large number of monsters and causing a layer of ice crystals to condense around their bodies.

All the monsters that had solidified into ice crystals stopped struggling. The large monsters that were barely held in place flew directly to the vicinity of the vortex and piled up with countless other monsters within it.

Doris couldn't help but glance at Celia.

Such powerful ice magic.

With her extensive experience in dealing with monsters, Doris hesitated only for a moment before manipulating the puppet to raise the greatsword.

The greatsword burst into flames, and then, with a horizontal slash from left to right, the horizontal sword energy condensed from the flames plunged into the frozen pile of monsters, instantly melting countless monsters wherever it went.

These monsters, purely constructed from pollution, had no chance to use their berserk abilities before being repeatedly controlled and attacked to death.

The dead monsters left no corpses; most of them turned directly into a cloud of demonic energy, dissipating into the air and becoming part of the ruins' pollution, waiting to be reformed.

A small number of special monsters leave behind some peculiar items when they die, but for Celia and the others, now is not the time to pick up the dropped items.

Like mowing grass, the girls' cheeks flushed with excitement, as if they were back when they climbed the steps.

"Don't let your guard down. Continue using the spells mentioned above until no monsters stand up," Doris warned.

The girls began a spell cycle.

Ross's phantom image coalesced nearby, watching this scene with nostalgia.

"It's just like playing a raid, it's great."

Even if he escapes his predicament, now that he is invincible, he probably won't be able to experience this simple joy anymore.

"This world has become a reality, yet it still feels so much like a game. Most of the monsters in Starfall are designed this way, using these settings to explain the underlying logic of why monsters disappear after they die and then respawn."

"Sometimes I still think this is a game, and I've become the old man who is the protagonist of the game, guiding the 'protagonist' Celia all the way to grow up."

While the girls were engrossed in the joy of mowing the lawn, Ross looked towards the lighthouse on the distant shore.

"This lighthouse should be the lost lighthouse I know. It was once cursed by a siren. Is the siren resurrected, or has someone strengthened the siren's curse...?"

Even Rose felt a spark of curiosity.

What happened to this lighthouse during the time of catastrophe?

Ross thought that perhaps the Holy Maidens should be allowed to go in and take a look.

Of course, before going in, we wait for them to clear a path before slowly going deeper.

Ross walked to a nearby coconut tree and leaned against it, watching the saintesses' grass-cutting battle.

Celia noticed Ross leaning against the coconut tree, paused for a moment, and was about to remind him, but then she thought that he was a god, how could he be afraid of such a polluted coconut tree?

As the number of monsters dwindled, Celia gradually relaxed. Noticing Ross's observation, she asked in a boastful tone and expression, "Lord Ross, what do you think of our performance?"

"It's alright. Although it was our first time working together and the tactics were relatively simple, the results were good, and we managed to conserve our magic power to the greatest extent possible."

Ross gave a positive evaluation, which cheered Celia up.

"but……"

The girl's heart skipped a beat.

Should we criticize them?

Seeing that Celia looked a little nervous, Ross smiled slightly: "But this is only a small part of the monsters. Head south along the beach. There is a place in the south that you need to be especially careful of. The monsters there will give you a hard time."

Is that the epicenter of the pollution outbreak?

"That's it."

"Then we have to go and take a look!"

Celia looked south towards the lighthouse.

They are currently north of the lighthouse, and it's quite a distance along the beach.

With no trees to block the view from the beach, Celia could see a mountain peak to the south of the lighthouse, and at its foot, there seemed to be a cave.

Is that the cave?

Celia carefully examined the direction of the cave, then looked around the beach and noticed something.

"Strange, why are there no monsters on the beach? It looks just like an ordinary beach."

These words were not spoken in one's heart, but said directly so that others could hear them.

Everyone looked at the empty beach, and Doris said, "The danger on the beach is hidden in the shadows. I don't know exactly what it is, but we can't just rush forward like before. We need to proceed slowly, investigate every step we take, and make sure there's nothing there."

Celia raised a question: "So we're standing on the beach without doing any research?"

Doris was taken aback.

Just then, a wisp of pollution, which had materialized, drifted over from the gap they had just passed.

Sometime during the day, the beach disappeared, replaced by a thick fog.

Low laughter came from outside the mist.

"Jie Jie Jie!"

Chapter 145 Tier 3 Elite Monster? Instantly Killed

"Mr. Ross, don't scare me at a time like this."

Celia glanced at Ross subtly, her eyes filled with resentment.

That's right, the "hehehe" just now wasn't a low laugh from outside the thick fog, but rather it was Ross that rang out in Celia's heart after that laugh came.

This really startled Celia, but luckily she recognized Ross's voice.

The others didn't hear Ross's voice, but noticed Celia's startled reaction, and Doris gave them a disdainful look.

"Tch, a mere third-tier monster scared you like this."

Celia didn't explain it to her.

Doris can think whatever she wants.

Benovia looked at Doris, "Are we just going to wait for that monster to show itself?"

“I think we should disperse this fog,” Anke said seriously.

She somehow got hold of a pair of glasses and put them on; her face alone gave her an intellectual beauty, if only she weren't only 1.5 meters tall...

As they spoke, a divine light suddenly appeared beside them.

Everyone turned to look and saw Phil close her eyes slightly, clasp her hands together in prayer, place them on her chest, and let the light emanate from her body, clashing with the surrounding thick fog.

Celia noticed a faint hint of blood within her divine light.

Judging from the feeling, it seems to be... pollution?

Has her magic even become tainted? Celia wondered.

But she didn't say anything.

After all, the Holy Court certainly knew more about Phil's situation than she did.

The Holy Court didn't do anything, so what could she, as a competitor, say?

Phil's specialty is the Holy magic, and her combination of Holy Word and Holy Magic makes her invincible when facing such defilement.

Under the intense holy light, the surrounding mist gradually dissipated, revealing a strange monster hidden within the mist, resembling a scarecrow.

It looks like a person, but it is as thin as a stick, covered in straw, with limbs that look like they are made of wood. Its face is covered with a cloth with a smiling face drawn on it, and there are two circles drawn on its cheeks.

“This is the Smiling Demon, a monster born from corruption. Like most corrupted monsters, its main attack method is mental attack. Its attacks can plunge people into fear, thus allowing corruption to take advantage of the vulnerability and become its nourishment,” Benovia said.

Doris added, "Within the lighthouse's range, it may also have another ability: berserk. The closer it gets to death, the stronger it becomes. It needs to be killed directly with a barrage of attacks to prevent it from going berserk."

Benovia said, "When facing these kinds of dying and berserk monsters, if you can't kill them quickly, only the fourth-tier ethereal spell [Hymn: Baptism] can effectively limit their berserk state. However, even without this spell, you can still kill them while they are berserk."

As she spoke, Benovia's puppet was already covered in a thick layer of rock armor and stood up.

"I'll block its attack; you guys figure out a way to kill it as soon as possible."

As Celia looked at the Smiling Demon, a thought struck her. She realized that she happened to have a scroll called "Hymn: Baptism".

If this scroll is used before reaching level three, the effect will be random, possibly applying the blessing effect to an enemy or the repentance effect to oneself.

According to Benovia, [Hymn: Baptism] is incredibly effective against this type of monster, regardless of its specific effect.

However, using such a precious scroll on a mere third-tier monster is somewhat like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

So Celia only thought about it and didn't use it.

With Benovia taking the lead, Doris began to command the team. The five of them, along with the five puppets, launched an attack on the Smiling Demon.

Ross watched this scene silently from the side.

He blurted out a pointless question—

Is this considered a 5-player dungeon or a 10-player raid?

Under the relentless onslaught of the five saintesses, the Smiling Demon quickly descended into a berserk state.

Benovia was under immense pressure. The rock armor she had attached to the puppet had completely shattered. Although she had been using earth and rock spells to defend the puppet, in the end, it was the puppet's materials that withstood everything.

With her wounds healed, the remaining puppets unleashed their full power. Soon, the Smiling Demon let out a terrifying scream, instantly disintegrating and creating a large amount of pollution that vanished into the air.

A holy light emanated from Phil, purifying some of the dissipated pollution and delaying the time it would take for the monster to condense again.

At the spot where the Smiling Demon died, a mask resembling a smiling face fell to the ground and was picked up by Doris's puppet.

"What is this?" She picked it up and examined it closely.

Benovia glanced at it and said, "The Smiling Mask allows you to use the Smiling Demon's mental magic. Its effect is to instill fear in people, making them afraid to fight. It is ineffective against corrupted monsters."
