The defeated saint is also on the way to tame the evil god today

Professor Ling was sitting in front of a jewelry stall, letting the chattering students choose various jewelry for her.

"Professor Ling is quite cute, and this looks good on her..."

"No, no, gold and black are too tacky, we need silver..."

"What is Professor Ling's opinion?"

"Just do what you like." Ling responded with a smile.

At this time, a worried middle-aged man squeezed through the crowd and came over.

It was Professor Renault. He stopped beside Ling, leaned over, and whispered:

"Lucius is missing. He said he was going to the bathroom, but it's been so long..."

Professor Ling sighed with a headache:

"The fireworks display is about to begin. If he doesn't give the speech, then I'll have to do it."

"You really have to come. Like Lucius, I am not suitable for this kind of occasion." Renault scratched his head helplessly.

"Actually, he used to be quite eloquent," Ling recalled. "Remember? When he and Principal Meilin were nagging about opening an alchemy mechanics class, he had a lively debate with the old man."

"That's not true," Professor Renault sighed, "After Millian left, he rarely spoke so much..."

The two fell into silence for a moment, and at this moment, a faint vibration came from the sky.

Ling raised her head and saw that the golden stars were obscured by darkness one by one and disappeared into the night sky.

"What's going on...?"

Ling stood up and drew his wand almost at the same time as Professor Renault.

A few seconds later, there was a shockwave beneath their feet—

"Rumble--"

No need to guess, Ling immediately knew the source of the vibration -

——『Merlin's Superstring Array』is moving upwards!

How is that possible? That magic circle hasn't activated open-air ritual magic in a long time...

Without thinking too much, Ling plucked the wind string, condensed a wind vortex at the tip of the wand, and then stretched it to his mouth:

"All students! Evacuate the castle immediately! I repeat, all students evacuate immediately!"

The wind amplified Professor Ling's voice several times, and as it spread around, it soon spread throughout the entire square.

Most of the students didn't react. They looked up in confusion, not knowing why they had to retreat.

The next second, a green light rose from the center of the square and shot straight into the sky—

"boom--"

The beam of light tore through the statue of Merlin in the center of the square and surged into the sky like a fountain, dyeing the night sky a pale green.

With the pillar of light as the center, branches made of green light spread out, growing like a tree, forming a barrier within a certain area.

The students scattered in panic, but it was too late. The entire Merlin Square was covered by the "Superstring Array".

"...!"

Ling and Renault looked at each other, and then they rushed to the center of the square quickly, holding their wands tightly in their hands.

Merlin Square and "Merlin's Superstring Array" actually overlap, one on the ground and the other underground.

This square was originally built for open-air ritual magic, so that the underground "superstring array" could float up at any time and cast spells under the clear night sky.

As for why it has to be done outdoors, it is because this type of ritual magic generally requires the power of golden stars, and the time is mostly chosen on days when the starry sky is brighter.

This type of magic usually starts with eight strings.

This is demigod-level magic.

"Lucius must come," Professor Raynor shouted as he ran, "He has a more thorough understanding of ritual magic. Only he..."

"Don't call him," Ling's voice suddenly turned cold, "He's over there."

The two stopped in front of the pillar of light. At this moment, the pillar of light parted like a curtain, and a man in a black robe walked down from the crystal altar.

Lucius Phillips looked coldly at his two colleagues and spoke in a hoarse, organ-like voice:

"Don't make things difficult for me."

"Lucius," Professor Ling frowned, "Is this for Miriam?"

"If you know me, you should understand that I might stop," Lucius raised his wand, "Don't force me to do so."

"You opened the altar, are you going to sacrifice the students' lives?" Renault shouted, "Lucius! You are not that kind of person!"

"Who am I supposed to be then!" Lucius roared. "A worthless person who watches my daughter die and lets you guys drive her around like a stray dog? No! Renault, I'm a father!"

The next second, Lucius waved his wand, and golden stars exploded—

"boom--"

When the golden light dissipated, a stone wall appeared in the center of the square - Renault drove the purple gravity and tore up a huge rock from the ground as a barrier.

Lucius swung his staff coldly, and golden light exploded on the surface of the boulder, once, twice, three times.

When the golden light exploded for the fourth time, the rock was shattered, and Renault behind him lost his balance and retreated.

Before Lucius could seize this opportunity, he saw a drill made of pure water coming at him rapidly—

Ling Zheng held the magic wand in both hands, with a blue light blooming in his eyes:

"Four-string magic, 'Narwhal Flow'."

The high-speed water drill tore through the tiles of the square and attacked Lucius at lightning speed.

In response, Lucius calmly condensed a ball of darkness in his hand and threw it forward.

"boom--"

The moment the darkness hit the water, it dissolved the drill bit and broke it into countless tiny droplets.

Lucius played the strings quickly, and the water droplets turned into icicles, piercing Ling and Renault—

"Miso miso miso——"

Ling and Renault rolled to the sides, and icicles pierced the ground, exploding into fragments like cracks in space and time.

At the same time, Lucius walked down from the crystal altar and played the strings elegantly and calmly.

Golden blades gradually condensed around him, and the invisible wind blew up the hem of his black windbreaker, making his bat-like figure even more cold and severe.

Ling stood up, covered his scraped arm, closed his eyes, and began to concentrate all his spiritual power:

"Renault! Buy me some time!"

"understood!"

Renault struck the string of gravity, stretched out his hand, grabbed the air, and then pressed down—

"Click——"

A purple light burst out beside Lucius. The gravity from the sky forced him to lower his head slightly, and cracks appeared on the floor tiles at his feet.

"Lucius, stop!" Renault yelled, "It's still possible to save the situation!"

"Save what? Miriam's life?" Lucius raised his head, his lake-blue eyes almost dark. "You can follow your moral principles. I want to save my daughter!"

He swung his staff forward, and the golden blade shot out like lightning, stabbing towards Renault—

"boom--"

"boom--"

"boom--"

Renault rolled over to avoid it. Every time the golden blade hit the ground, a golden lightning would fall from the sky, and scattered electric snakes would flutter on the ground, chasing the target.

Five-string magic, "Quetzalcoatl Thunder Blade", is a "Saint"-level string magic that belongs to both the starlight and lightning realms.

Renault dodged the first few lightning blades in succession, but the electric snakes scattered on the ground climbed up his feet, making him feel numb and fall to his knees.

The next lightning blade hit his shoulder mercilessly. He let out a scream and fell to the ground motionless.

"Reno!"

Ling gritted his teeth and played five water strings in succession with his right hand, completing the string magic.

Clear water gushed out of thin air from her hand, and it quickly revived, transforming into a shimmering spear.

——Five-string magic, "Spiritual Waves".

Use the water string to convert spiritual power into water flow, thereby causing a direct attack on the enemy at the spiritual power level, and sweeping away the enemy's spiritual power as the tide recedes.

Ling thrust his spear into the ground and with a fierce push, he created a wave of water out of thin air.

"Pfft-"

Lucius was unable to dodge and was hit by the first wave, and the light in his eyes suddenly dimmed a lot.

Ling turned the water spear, ready to stir up the second wave, but at this moment, her eyes suddenly became empty -

"Gu..."

Ling knelt on the ground, looked down, and found that black gas was coming out of his chest.

Her spiritual power was rapidly drained away, and even the spiritual power absorbed by the "Spiritual Waves" was quickly deprived, and soon it was completely exhausted.

"How can it be..."

"I know you're waiting for other instructors to come and support you," Lucius stood up, his eyes cold, "but they won't be coming."

Ling's pupils trembled slightly. She looked around and saw black mist flying in the air, surrounding the square.

That's the 'Song of Death'! The Evil God's followers!

......

11) "Life" (Part 3) - 6k chapters - (3-in-1)

"call--"

Xingmo rode a flying chariot across the strait and flew towards the Nefera Beta Magic Academy.

Looking out of the car window, I saw that Merlin Square in front of the castle had been blocked by a green light curtain. In the center of the light curtain was a giant tree growing wildly, and its twisted branches were spreading into the air.

That is the "Tree of Life".

That is... directly materializing Aurora's divinity?

Almost all the students gathered in the square, all trapped in the altar...

Xing Mo gritted her teeth, trying not to think about what was going to happen next. She pushed open the car door, raised her wand, and played the strings—

"boom--"

Dozens of fireballs flew towards the light curtain and hit the surface, all of which only created a little green light.

It can't be broken... Unless you try to release the six-string magic... "The Remnant of Fire" may be able to break the barrier.

But if I use up all my spiritual power now, I won’t be able to deal with the remaining threats when I go in.

Xingmo took a deep breath, assessed her mood, and suppressed her anxiety.

Then she turned and shouted to the coachman:

"Go to the North Tower! Find a window! I'll get off there!"

The carriage master of the Pushet family nodded silently, then waved the reins and skillfully drove the Pegasus into a turn.

The night wind whistled and blew Xingmo's black hair. Looking at the giant tree in the center of the square, she felt mixed emotions.

Aurora...Hold on...

There are some things I have to say to you face to face, so you must hold on...

"call--"

Soon, the outline of the north tower was getting closer and closer. Xingmo's eyes quickly swept across the ancient brick wall and found a familiar window.

That was one of the library's side windows.
