Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint

However, after she set off, countless monsters appeared along the way to the north. They lay among the strange rocks on the side of the beach, staring at her with their red eyes.

If she continues onward, she will face even more monsters than during the day.

A sixth sense alerted her to danger, prompting her to stop in her tracks.

"We can't go this way, it's too far."

She retreated back to the place where the lighthouse had teleported her.

The bright eyes gradually faded, and the beach returned to its empty state.

A ray of moonlight shone down from the sky, and Doris looked up at the suddenly appearing moonlight.

This moonlight didn't give her any sense of security; instead, it filled her with a strong sense of crisis.

"We can't stop here."

She looked towards the south coast and a bold idea popped into her head.

"Go to that cave. There must be a powerful third-tier monster there. However, compared to countless second-tier monsters, one third-tier monster is enough to handle."

So she quickly made a decision and headed south.

As she moved forward, some magic circles along the way were activated, and the monsters hidden around her launched an attack, as well as coconut crabs that suddenly ran out of the sea and quietly ran to her side.

Various crises, both overt and covert, constantly loomed over her.

Fortunately, she had extensive experience in exploring ancient ruins and was able to handle these crises with ease.

After a difficult journey, she finally arrived at the cave and entered without hesitation.

Deep within the cave, where it meets the entrance, all the traps and monsters fell silent again, and she chose to rest against the stone wall.

Doris took out a bottle of potion and drank it down, feeling her magic slowly returning. She glanced at the puppet.

After several battles, the puppet's condition was not good.

The various traces left from the daytime battle were only simply repaired. At this moment, two more wounds pierced the puppet's armor, almost destroying the runes on the internal components.

She didn't bring any repair tools with her when she went out, and now she's helpless to fix these damages.

"It's almost midnight...we can't go any further..."

Doris felt very tired and wanted to lie down and sleep.

Having not had a proper rest during the day's battles, Doris was now completely exhausted after being suddenly teleported here and fighting for several hours.

Her eyes were drooping, and a voice was telling her that she needed to rest.

"wrong!"

She suddenly opened her eyes and looked into the depths of the cave.

"It's that monster in the cave affecting my mind."

The drowsiness was immediately dispelled, and she stood up abruptly, gripping her sword tightly.

The puppet also gripped the greatsword tightly.

“Celia says, you are the culprit who caused the pollution to spread. I am a candidate for sainthood, and it is my duty to eliminate you. Let me see what you really are!”

"I don't need anyone else's help. I've conquered three or four ruins without ever relying on any teammates. I can kill you all by myself!"

After encouraging herself with words of self-talk, Doris showed a determined look and, with the puppet in tow, walked deeper into the cave.

The cave wasn't deep, and it didn't take long for her to reach the deepest part.

The cave is very wide, and at its deepest point it is even wider, like a huge circular plaza, with traces of artificial excavation.

In the middle of the square, a winged monster with a human head, bird body, and snake tail was curled up with its huge snake tail, its eyes closed, seemingly asleep.

Judging from its orientation, it appears to be a female monster.

From its body, streaks of dark red pollution emanated, connecting the surroundings of the cave.

Doris looked at where the polluted threads connected and found that each thread was connected to something that looked like a demon egg.

These demon eggs, crimson in color and about the size of an adult, hung upside down from the cave ceiling, trembling gently as if a heart were beating.

Upon arriving here, Doris felt the drowsiness growing stronger.

But realizing this was the demon's doing, she immediately flipped her longsword, imbuing it with a holy light.

The Holy Word spell gave her a gentle warmth and also dispelled some of her drowsiness.

She roused herself and began to observe her surroundings.

"Are those monsters hatching in the sky? Aren't monsters formed naturally due to excessive pollution, or are they deliberately hatched?"

Doris wasn't quite sure; perhaps Benovia could explain if she were there.

"What if these demonic eggs suddenly burst open during the battle?"

It's certain that it will happen.

This is based on my experience from exploring ruins many times: when you feel that something bad might happen, it will definitely happen.

Having come this far, Doris was ready for battle.

She suppressed her drowsiness and slight fear, raised her sword, and gave the puppet the command to attack.

The puppet's greatsword burst into flames and, propelled by the wind, swiftly charged towards the monster in the center of the cave.

As the puppet approached, the monster suddenly opened its eyes and let out a piercing scream.

Doris felt a slight headache, but it was nothing to worry about.

Just then, three of the demon eggs on the cave ceiling suddenly shattered, and three demons jumped out and charged at Doris with a roar.

"Good timing! Today I'll treat you all like Celia and give you a good beating!"

The girl flipped her longsword, which shone with a holy light, and instead of retreating, she charged towards the three demons.

I fell asleep, so the update is late, it's already the next morning...

Chapter 156 The Siren Terksi

boom--! ! !

From afar, Celia and the others could hear the sounds coming from inside the cave.

That was the sound of a battle.

The four exchanged a glance and sped towards the cave.

"We didn't encounter any monsters along the way, only some magic crystals and basic materials that were carelessly thrown on the ground, which means that the area had just been cleared out and hadn't been replenished yet."

"Only an idiot like Doris would run out of the camp at night. She must have been the one who cleared out these monsters."

"She may be fighting a mysterious monster in the cave right now."

"Prepare for support!"

"..."

Soon, they arrived at the cave entrance and looked into the depths of the cave.

Unfortunately, you can't see inside from here; it's not only pitch black, but the cave also has corners.

From around the corner, faint flashes of fiery red and white light could be seen.

Without hesitation, the four rushed into the cave, turned a corner, and arrived at the deepest part of the cave.

Before they could even get a good look at what was going on inside, a figure flew out from there.

While the group was still in a daze, Celia suddenly felt that she could not control her body. Then she saw her body accelerate suddenly and catch the figure before it hit the ground.

She saw herself patting the figure's back with one hand, and a holy light emanated from her hand.

Then she found that she could control her body again.

She knew what was going on.

It's Ross.

She also knew who the next figure would be.

It's Doris.

She also knew what Ross had just done.

He used magic to stabilize Doris's internal wounds and channeled a huge amount of contamination into his own body, preventing Doris from being corrupted and dying.

Celia quickly threw Doris to the ground and shouted to Benovia and the other two, "You guys hold them off for a bit, I'll clean up the contamination first."

"Let me do it."

A soft voice came, and Phil had come to the two of them. She stretched out her hands, placing one hand on each person's forehead.

Celia immediately felt some of the pollution in her body being purified, and the rest entered her body through Phil's palm.

“Phil, you…”

"It's alright," Phil smiled slightly.

After Phil purified and absorbed the pollution, it was almost completely cleared away. Celia then stood up and looked ahead.

Benovia and Anko rushed forward to fend off the unnamed monster.

Ross's voice came through:

"This is the siren Terksi, who can lull people to sleep with her song. If you encounter her at sea, her song will put everyone on board to sleep until the ship drifts into the deep sea."

"However, this siren has been completely corrupted and defiled, becoming a monster with little consciousness. Its beautiful voice has also been corrupted, leaving only some simple mental attacks."

"There's no need for any special skills to fight these mindless monsters, just attack them directly, and watch out for their berserk state."

Celia glanced at Doris and saw that she had barely opened her eyes and was looking at her. She couldn't help but snort, "You sneaked into the ruins to die so as not to deliver materials to me. If you don't want to deliver materials, then don't. Why come here to die?"

Doris snapped, "You don't want to send the materials to your death! I won't go back on my word after losing the bet! I'll have them delivered from home tomorrow, so don't cough... cough cough cough..."

Phil glared at Celia: "Celia, shut up. She has severe internal injuries and her magic is erratic. She needs treatment."

Celia pursed her lips, walked past Doris, and headed towards the battlefield.

"Alright, go get some sleep. You actually thought you could take care of the boss monster all by yourself? Dream on! We're going to steal your credit."

After saying that, Celia joined the battle.

This corrupted and tainted sea monster, Terksi, is very strong. As soon as it joined the battlefield, Celia felt immense pressure.

The Terxi's attack methods are not complicated. Apart from the area-of-effect mental attack of screaming, it also includes tail sweeping, charging, water spraying, and summoning monsters from its egg.

However, if the puppet is hit by its physical attack, it will inevitably be knocked away and suffer damage.

The monsters that broke out of the demon eggs seemed to have intelligence; they didn't bother the puppets or even the three of them, but instead rushed towards Phil and Doris, forcing them to return to defend.

Fortunately, the characteristic of the puppet is that it can distract the sorcerer from fighting, so that they do not need to focus on controlling it. Focusing on controlling it will make it easier for the puppet to not exert 100% of its combat power.

"I've seen this monster in some ancient books. It's a kind of sea monster called Terksi. Legend has it that they have the strength of the fifth to sixth rank. This one is not that strong because it has been corrupted and is also restricted by the ruins, but it may still have the strength of close to the fourth rank."

Celia relayed Ross's words, "It doesn't have many attack methods, but just the impact is enough to injure the puppet. It's best not to get touched by it. Also, watch out for its low-health berserk mode."

Surrounded by the crowd, Terksi let out a shriek, and an invisible sound wave spread outwards from it.

Everyone felt a sudden headache and couldn't help but cover their heads.

Even Doris, with her eyes closed, frowned, a look of pain on her face.

"Use your mage's hand to grab its neck." Ross's voice entered Celia's mind, clearing her senses.

She quickly transformed the mage's hand back to its original form, extending it to Terksi's side, opening her hand, and viciously pinching Terksi's neck.

The shrieking sound stopped abruptly.

Once Benovia and Anko recovered, they quickly took advantage of Telkis being controlled and used the puppets to launch an even fiercer attack on her.

Various colored lights flickered incessantly in the dark cave, and wound after wound appeared on the corrupted Terksi's body.

Even its tail was severed by Celia's ice blade, and blood gushed out like pus, emitting a foul stench.

Fortunately, the blood was not corrosive; it was only highly polluted.

The contamination has little effect on the puppet.

Of course, neither Celia nor any other Saintess candidate would want to come into contact with such disgusting blood.
