Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint

Celia: "..."

No wonder they're followers of an evil god!

Ross smiled slightly but didn't say anything.

In war, there are always casualties.

Revolution is always accompanied by iron and blood.

There are no bloody revolutions, only the most shameful "non-violent non-cooperation" that I've heard of. But who would do such a thing in a game? Even in a war in another world, only some bizarre country would use such a strange strategy.

During the chat, Celia slowly entered what appeared to be the Arctic Blood Alliance's stronghold.

Gradually, through her connection with the magic circle, she sensed signs of people appearing ahead.

"I'd better not alert them and secretly find out where the magic circle's core is," Celia thought to herself.

"Go to the left. There are areas you haven't figured out yet. You can enter the core area from there and gain control of the magic array."

"it is good!"

As long as we can gain control of the magic array, what is there to be afraid of?

Even if a fourth-tier mage comes, I'm not afraid!

"I feel like if I keep going like this, the other heretical strongholds will have to remove their magic arrays," Celia chuckled.

"possible."

Who would have thought that there would be a spell like the Mage's Hand, which can transform mental energy into countless threads and penetrate into the runes of a magic circle to gain control of the magic circle?

Aside from Rose, nobody in the whole world would do that.

Because this is a player's privilege.

Now, he teaches this spell to Celia, giving her the same player privileges.

Seizing control of the center of the magic circle is much slower than simply accessing it. More than an hour has passed, and Celia is still a little short.

She felt her mental energy rapidly depleting and muttered to herself, "Too slow. I hope no one comes."

No sooner had she finished speaking than she sensed movement coming from not far away.

She quickly leaned against the stone wall, pretending to be a stone, held her breath, and watched the two heretics silently walk past her.

After walking over, the two heretics paused for a moment, and one of them asked, "Do you sense anything strange?"

The other person paused for a moment, then said, "It's probably just my imagination. What could be so strange about it?"

"Right."

The two left after talking.

Celia breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then," Ross laughed, "they actually discovered it."

"Huh?" Celia was taken aback. "Then why didn't they make a move?"

"They were being cautious, pretending not to know, and were about to go and call for help."

"Call someone..."

Celia sensed the progress of the magic circle.

"Never mind, let them scream if they want. If it doesn't work, let the puppet stall for time."

After entering, Celia put the puppet away to avoid being discovered.

In the end, they were discovered.

"Your disguise skills are still lacking. You can transform into another person, but you're far from being able to blend into the environment. You might look fine from a distance, but you'll be exposed if you get close," Ross laughed. "Think about it, they've lived here for a long time, and suddenly a long rock appears. Do you think they wouldn't notice?"

"That's true... Never mind all that. Given a little time, I'll be able to completely control this magic array, and then I'll teach them a lesson!"

Even so, Celia was still a little uneasy.

If they had arrived earlier and she hadn't seized control, all her previous efforts would have been in vain.

After thinking for a moment, she first summoned the puppet and had it carry everything over to prepare for the enemy.

She didn't control the puppet; she only gave it commands to defend.

"I hope they take their time..."

Just as Ross said, not long after the two left, a bunch of people immediately came running from the direction they had come from.

Upon seeing Celia's disguise and the puppet beside her, one of the two immediately shouted, "That's it!"

"As expected, someone has broken in."

"Destroy this puppet."

"kill!"

The heretics threw out a large number of spells.

Celia pursed her lips and gave the puppet instructions.

The puppet stepped forward and began to carry out the command to resist the attack.

Celia ignored it and focused on seizing control of the magic circle.

As a barrage of spells arrived, the golem raised an ice wall, within which was the Mystic Net spell, which had been learned by Celia.

The combination of the two is not as tight as that of the Forest Silk, but it can still further enhance the resistance of the ice wall.

At least, it can handle a group of first and second-tier beginner spells.

Even if some of these spells reach the proficiency level and their power is enhanced, they can still be blocked by the combination of Ice Wall and Mithril Net.

With countless flashes of light, the ice wall shattered, revealing the intact puppet behind it.

"What a powerful puppet."

"Go and fetch the adults!"

"Use the puppet to attack!"

Amidst various sounds, several people immediately summoned puppets and manipulated them to attack.

At the same time, a sense of success came from the hands of the mage, Celia.

She successfully gained control of the entire base's magic array!

The girl breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, turned around, smiled at the swarm of puppets charging towards her, and chuckled, "Too weak!"

She took out her staff, and divine elements gathered on it.

The next moment, a dense burst of purification light erupted, and all the heretics whose bodies were contaminated with demonic energy immediately screamed in agony.

Even the charging puppets emitted wisps of pollution that drifted away in the wind!

"You think this is your home turf? Wrong! This is Miss Celia's home turf!"

Chapter 264 Crystallization of Faith

Absolutely cruel!

There's not even a need to activate the magic circle.

With their mastery of purification techniques, no heretic could stand up in this narrow cave.

The power of most heretics is composed of magic and corruption; the higher the rank, the greater the proportion of corruption.

These heretics, whose demonic energy is also imbued with divine power, possess an even higher proportion of corrupted energy.

Even the Holy Court's standard purification techniques would probably be largely ineffective against this kind of contamination.

In other words, Ross's purification technique is specifically designed to address pollution. Only with specialized treatment can it be effective, and even then, the effect is not as high as that of ordinary pollution.

Of course, it was enough for these first and second-tier heretics.

In particular, they couldn't maneuver freely in the narrow cave.

As Celia walked along, countless heretics knelt down, their faces contorted in pain.

The purification of pollution means that their power is being drained.

This separation will also affect their maximum power level.

Simply put, they purified their maximum mana.

After thinking it over, Celia ultimately decided not to finish them off.

“Forcibly purifying the pollution from their bodies like this, even if they don’t die, they will be bedridden for years afterward, and their bodies will suffer from aftereffects, making them unable to touch pollution again. If they do, they will be bedridden for months... Let’s leave it to the Holy Court to handle.”

Celia walked past everyone and slowly ventured deeper into the area.

She sensed that the magic circle was being used, but it wasn't being used to attack her; instead, it was being used to seal off the entire stronghold, preventing anyone from leaving.

"As expected of the most secretive heretical cult, it deserves praise."

Celia gave the man a thumbs up, then marked him with a magic circle, secretly removing his administrator privileges so that he couldn't open the magic circle to escape.

After that, Celia didn't go looking for the other party. After making sure that no one could go out to call for reinforcements, she went to the core area of ​​the magic circle while purifying the heretics.

Celia has confirmed that this is the Arctic Blood Alliance's stronghold.

Each of them wore the emblem of the Arctic Blood Alliance, an emblem that would inevitably appear on the battlefield in the event of war, and which was tainted with a pollution that was difficult to cleanse.

Previously, Celia didn't know why it was difficult to purify, but now she knows: it contains divine power, so it cannot be purified—it requires the purification magic of an evil god.

The core area of ​​the Polar Blood Alliance's magic circle is completely different from that of the Deep Sea Aid Society. The Deep Sea Aid Society hides its core area, while the Polar Blood Alliance places it in the center of an underground cavern used for prayer, where an underground altar has been built.

Around the altar were pagans who were praying devoutly.

However, at this moment all the heretics sprang into action, standing in front of Celia—and were then devoutly purified.

Celia entered the underground cavern used for rituals, her body radiating the holy light of purification magic, and looked at the hundreds of heretics inside.

Upon her appearance, the heretics, who had previously been ready to die, immediately collapsed to the ground in agony, wailing repeatedly.

At least a few third-tier heretics can still rely on magic to resist.

Seeing this, even Ross laughed and said, "I'm afraid these heretics will have to cleanse their bodies of all the pollution overnight."

"It would be best to drain it all out. Pollution is extremely harmful. Who knows how long one can live by using pollution as a source of energy?"

When a group of people fall to the ground, groaning in pain and watching their strength being drained away in despair, those who remain standing seem quite out of place.

Celia, radiating holy light, slowly approached the person standing there.

There are five in total.

They are all third-tier mages.

They were also affected a little, but it wasn't a big problem.

They looked at Celia as if they had seen a ghost.

One of them shouted angrily, "Who are you?"

Celia bowed slightly to them and smiled, saying, "Celia, the Holy See's Quasi-Saintess, greets everyone."

The group exchanged glances, and the man who had questioned them turned serious.

"The Holy Court has actually improved the purification spell to such a terrifying effect... We must not let her leave. Capture her and make her hand over this purification spell!"

The five of them summoned their magical puppets.

Celia's puppets will stand in front of her and serve as the main force in the battle, while Celia will maintain her purification spell and continue to unleash full-screen AOE attacks.

Just like when we dealt with those heretics outside the Southern City.

That's cheating.

But it's cool.

Without a fourth-tier mage, Celia is a natural counter to heretics!

You worked so hard, but somehow you managed to combine divine power with pollution to counter the Holy Court's purification spell.

Hehe, I have a purification spell bestowed by the gods!

With the help of purification magic, Celia easily took on five opponents at once, or rather, ten with the help of the puppets!
