Ella lightly covered the corner of her mouth, which was curled into a wicked smile, while Kyle, who was rolling on the ground in excruciating pain, was snotting through his mouth and trying to crawl away from the terrifying girl behind him like a caterpillar.

But Ella naturally wouldn't give him that chance. Her slender legs, clad in short boots, suddenly lifted up, and she stomped hard on his lower back.

"Where are you rushing off to, Your Highness? We haven't finished our little game yet."

She didn't know why, but if the other party had just fought Ella normally, she wouldn't have had any particular thoughts. However, watching Kyle howling and struggling to escape like a cockroach, Ella inexplicably felt a sense of uncontrollable pleasure.

Her cherry-like mouth was stretched into a wide grin as she grabbed the other person's fiery red hair with her fingers and forcefully pulled their head back.

Kyle felt as if his scalp was being ripped off, his face contorted in fear and despair, blood gushing from his nostrils mixed with tears and flowing back into his hair.

“No… don’t kill me…”

"Alas."

Ella didn't want to get her hands on those strange liquids, so she immediately gave them a disgusted look and let go, letting the other person's big face fall back to the ground.

"Pathetic little fish, you're supposed to be chosen by God, don't you feel ashamed to embarrass your gods with your crying and wailing?"

As soon as the crisp voice fell, streams of black mud gushed out from the ground.

The wriggling tentacles wrapped around Kyle's struggling body and soon engulfed him.

Despair etched itself on Kyle's mud-covered face, and the golden magic circle high in the sky faded, turning a blinding crimson.

As if a dark red twilight had descended, the priests who were maintaining the operation of the Heavenly Lock array all changed their appearance, and tiny tentacles gradually grew on their bodies covered by white holy robes.

It turned out that while Kyle was distracted by the straw-covered Ella on the ground, these high-ranking priests were all quietly corrupted by Ella's divine power and turned into corrupted beings. Even the magic circle was corrupted, but Ella used the illusion of the moon goddess to slightly deceive the other party's perception.

This is why Kyle cried and wailed for so long, but the group of people on the platform didn't react at all.

Ella did this out of curiosity, wondering if she could use this opportunity to seize control of the Heavenly Lock array, since all the casters had been infected by her.

However, it now seems that she did indeed obtain the technique for casting this magic circle, but when she released it, just like her other holy light spells, it left only a mold, and the inside became the shape of tentacles and black mud.

I wonder if it will still have the effect of attacking gods that the Ice Saintess mentioned before, even after it has become like this.

As Ella watched the golden chains falling from the sky turn as black as ink, she could only helplessly wave her hand to make them dissipate.

Fortunately, her method of using contamination to steal spells allows her to learn the corresponding spells herself. She'll try it on a god next time to see if it works.

Chapter 114 The Fake Saintess

After quickly tidying up Kyle, Ella used a portal to send him to her own temple in Loren, far away, to join her strange collection.

Considering the existence of the Holy Casket, Ella wasn't sure if Kyle had any means of remotely notifying others. Just in case, she used Renata's net to transmit some divine power, forcibly blocking the other party's consciousness.

Ella then intended to return to the ground, but when she turned her attention to the crows monitoring the situation on the ground, she discovered some more interesting scenes.

……

At that moment, on the trial grounds, Julius, who was leading his knights to wait in the snowy night, suddenly heard a rumbling sound coming from the earth.

He gently raised his head and saw golden light crisscrossing on the ground, and rectangular stones surging and rising, slowly forming a dark gate.

He hurriedly ordered his knights to be alert, only to see a figure in flowing white robes slowly emerge from the gate.

She was a petite girl with long silver hair and deep red eyes just like Ella, but her clothes were somewhat torn, as if she had been through a fierce battle.

If Ella hadn't been watching the scene from inside the dungeon with her raven, she would have thought that the person walking out of the door was herself.

However, the faint holy light that the other party summoned to separate the wind and snow was a realm that Ella could never reach in her lifetime.

Good heavens, where did this vixen come from? She's impersonating me!

Ella pouted and, through the eyes of the raven, watched as the fake saintess stepped forward to join Julius.

"Holy Maiden! By the gods, what has happened?"

Julius hurried forward and noticed that the girl's clothes were somewhat torn, and a hint of worry appeared on his face.

The fake saint nodded slightly, her expression cold and indifferent, unlike Ella who would often inadvertently reveal a sly smile, but at this moment she seemed quite strong.

"Below is a trap set by the Boromeo family."

The fake saintess tried to appear somewhat sorrowful, saying, "The knights who accompanied us have been killed in action."

"They really are a bunch of despicable bastards."

Julius frowned indignantly, "Your Grace, please give the order, and I will lead the Templars to capture Boromeo."

"No rush, I've already avenged them."

The fake saintess opened her palm, revealing a cone-shaped fragment that emitted a faint golden light.

The light was soft and not dazzling, yet one could vaguely sense the powerful force attached to it, though it was concealed.

"Could this be... the Holy Lance?"

Julius seemed to realize something, and his eyes widened in astonishment. "You have perhaps gained its approval!?"

The fake saintess nodded, and the knights around her, noticing this, cheered.

And this was the Rossia family's true plan.

Using the trial grounds as a trap, the real Ella was suppressed beneath the Lock of Heaven. Then, a fake saintess appeared and took over the jurisdiction of the Holy City in Ella's identity.

Even though the real Ella understood the other party's intentions at this moment, she couldn't help but marvel.

To be honest, the other party's actions were really bold, and what's even more outrageous is that this imposter not only had the Holy Lance, but also gained its approval.

It's worth noting that Ella, the world-destroying witch in her previous life, was rejected by the three sacred artifacts.

Ella was speechless. Not only was her Holy Light magic superb, but she could also wield the Holy Lance. This imposter seemed more like the real Holy Maiden of Light than she was.

However, despite this, Ella was in no hurry to rush up and expose the fake saintess.

Since the other party is proceeding according to the original plan, it means they are unaware that something has changed at the Heavenly Lock under the underground palace. Therefore, it is definitely more effective to secretly hide and sabotage from the shadows than to rush out and cause trouble.

As for whether Julius would be led astray by the fake saintess, Ella wasn't worried.

Before setting off, Ella had already explained the truth about the idiot to Julius.

If nothing happens in the trial grounds, the real self will naturally use the spatial portal to notify Julius to return to the city.

Now that the fake saintess is making her appearance in this way, Julius should realize that something is amiss.

However, Ella couldn't be sure if the appearance of this Holy Lance was really a bit strange. If Julius really believed it, she would still have to find a way to remind him.

Fortunately, just as the fake saintess turned her back to Julius and mounted her horse, he immediately glanced at the crows in the bushes and gave them an inquiring look.

This reaction relieved Ella. Well, although this guy usually seems honest, he can be quite clever when he needs to be. He must have been playing along with that imposter just now.

However, on the other hand, Julius was not shaken at all when he saw the fake saintess obtain the Holy Lance. Does this mean that he was quite certain that the real Ella could not obtain the Holy Lance's approval?

Thinking of this, Ella's lips twitched, and she felt inexplicably annoyed.

But she still manipulated the crow to raise its wings and make a "shh" gesture in front of its beak, indicating to Julius to see what this imposter was up to and simply play along for now.

Upon seeing the raven's anthropomorphic movements, Julius's eyes revealed a hint of helplessness.

Is the Holy Maiden getting addicted to this...?

"Julius".

Just then, the fake saintess riding on the side turned her head slightly.

Julius quickly turned his head to the right side, trying his best to appear normal. "What are your orders, Your Grace?"

"Holy City... How are the knights I brought from Loren getting along with you?"

"Forehead……?"

Julius was momentarily confused as to why the "saint" before him would suddenly ask such a question, so he could only answer based on his intuition, "They are all quite loyal warriors."

The fake saintess nodded and said nothing more.

……

Time comes the next day.

In the main hall of the Rossia family castle, the patriarch Isabella sat in the main seat, quietly gazing at the crystal ball that emitted a faint glow before her.

Sophia, the glacier saintess with blue hair, stood proudly at the bottom of the steps with her arms crossed, among a group of kneeling Rossia family juniors.

"Now that the plan has been executed smoothly, let's hurry up and wrap things up."

"It's not that simple; there are still a few troublesome points to address."

Isabella smiled and tapped the crystal ball lightly with her fingertips.

Amidst the interplay of light and shadow, several figures emerged from it.

"Her attendant knight Ye Xiao, and Augustus, the captain of the Fourth Knights, both of them recognize the evil abilities used by the true Holy Maiden of Light."

“Before the situation is settled, at least these two people, as well as those knights from Loren, must be eliminated to prevent future troubles.”

"Humph."

Sophia lowered her eyes, staring at the figure on the crystal ball. "Augustus is indeed a problem, but the others are just some rotten fish and shrimp. What waves can they make?"

"That's not the case. This servant knight has ruined quite a few of our plans in the past."

Isabella waved her hand, "The Holy City has been peaceful enough for a while now. It's time to let the Boromeo family out and make some moves."

"At that time, we will cooperate from the inside and outside on the battlefield. I will deal with that servant knight Ye Xiao, and Augustus will be left to you."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Sophia frowned in displeasure. "With two knightly orders under your control, why should we deal with the Fourth Knights? Isn't that a bit too greedy?"

"...So what do you mean?"

Isabella raised an eyebrow.

"Augustus is yours to handle; I'll deal with that servant knight."

Sofia proudly puffed out her chest.

Chapter 115 The Entertainment Circle is Truly Chaotic

At the top of the White Tower, the fake saintess, now sitting in the Holy Lord's study, looked at the secret document in her hand, her expression slightly complicated.

Sophia, representing the company, agreed with the Rossia family that the next strategic goal was to find a way to eliminate Augustus, the commander of the Fourth Knights, and Ye Xiao, Ella's former servant knight.

This is normal in itself, but the fake saint originally planned to deal with Augustus from her side, since she had some contact with the Fourth Knights in Stormport and would be more familiar with them.

Upon reviewing the letters, it became clear that their company's main target was Ye Xiao.

It's one thing for her not to know this guy well, but the important thing is that this guy is very close to the real Ella.

The fake saintess could vaguely recall the scene of being double-teamed by the two in Storm Harbor. Unpleasant memories flooded her mind, and a shadow involuntarily appeared on her forehead.

She clearly remembered that before coming here, the Rossia family had vowed to handle Ye Xiao properly, but in the end, this troublesome guy still ended up in her hands.

It was already quite troublesome for an undercover agent to deceive Julius; ideally, he should avoid meeting Ye Xiao during this period to prevent any unforeseen complications. But now, due to mission requirements, he actually has to actively seek opportunities to contact the other party...

Thinking about this, the fake saintess felt a bit of a headache.

But at this point, she couldn't very well refute it, since the other side had already reached an agreement, and her side disagreed, making it seem like she was deliberately passing the buck.

The intricacies and complexities of human relationships are truly troublesome.

The fake saintess conjured a glimmer of holy light at her fingertips, burned the letter in her hand, and then gently tapped the bell on the table.

The bell rang, and a knight entered from outside the door and bowed to her.

"Summon... Attendant Knight Ye Xiao to come here."

"Ok?"

But the knight who was obeying the order paused, as if he had heard something strange.

"What, what's the problem?"

Seeing the other party's strange reaction, the fake saintess was startled. Could it be that simply having someone call that guy over had revealed something?

"No, no problem, Your Majesty."

The knight quickly shook his head, "I'll go find Mr. Ye right away..."

"I have no doubt why you paused for a moment just now?"

However, the fake saintess did not intend to let the knight get away with it.
