"In short, everyone should be prepared to deal with any sudden dangers."

Anke asked, "What kind of sudden danger could it be?"

"I don't know, I can't predict the future."

As they were talking, the league came over to inform them that the match was about to start and asked them to come up on stage.

Here, the league is finally not like a makeshift operation anymore; at least it looks somewhat decent.

Following the guidance of the league officials, the Saintess Squad arrived at the arena and looked at their opponents, a team that had fought five rounds in the round-robin stage to enter the knockout stage of 32 to 16.

Coincidentally, this is a team from the Northern League.

In the previous two incidents, Ista missed out once and Northern League missed out once, but the former did not get extra wins, while the latter got extra individual wins.

If there had been team competitions back then, they probably could have gotten a free win in those too.

As soon as they stepped onto the stage, the people opposite them glared at Celia and the others. One of the contestants said, "Isn't this all the work of your Ishtar Empire? It's because you're always thinking about invading other empires that you resort to such despicable acts!"

"Yes, they even tried to frame us! How despicable! We are the hosts, how could we possibly resort to such dirty tricks!"

"..."

The five teenagers opposite them were indignant, and Doris was not to be outdone. She said disdainfully, "Only the weak worry about whether they are being set up. The strong don't care about such trivial things. They will use their puppets to show those who set up the schemes what the hard truth is."

The referee didn't say anything about the argument between the two sides; he just watched the countdown.

While Doris was clashing with her opponent, Anko had already taken out a potion that could be used before the start, activated it with magic, and applied it to the five people.

There are two types of potions in total: one makes magic flow more smoothly, and the other enhances mental stability, allowing one to calmly face enemies.

Phil was also using light-based blessing spells to bless the team.

At this moment, Celia did not look at the opposite side, but looked at the sky.

A raindrop fell on her cheek, and she reached up to touch it.

"Oh no, it's going to rain heavily."

Celia reminded everyone, "Don't let the rain get on yourselves."

The others nodded and each used their own methods to keep themselves dry.

The opposing team, seeing this, began to laugh.

"What a pampered young lady."

"It's ridiculous to waste magic to avoid getting wet at all."

"He's obviously a graduate of a school, with no combat experience whatsoever. I watched his first three matches; he only made it to the top 32 by sheer luck and sabotaging his opponents."

"Three minutes, and I'll take you down!"

The referee didn't say anything about the taunts, he just extended his hand.

"10, 9... 2, 1, start!"

Boom!

As the sound began, thunder rumbled in the sky.

A torrential downpour began.

Of the five people opposite, two rushed over with puppets, while the remaining three scattered, forming a mushroom-like formation, and began to cast spells using their magic.

On the other side, Anke had already used the first step of the Judgment Strategy: Water Mist Perception, slowly enveloping the entire competition venue with water mist.

The mist was not thick, only a thin layer. For a sorcerer, the mist could not obstruct their vision. Even with their eyes closed, they could still sense the magical fluctuations around them.

This is especially true for puppets, whose combat requires no sight.

The main function of this water mist is to enhance perception and play a supporting role.

"Benovia, let's go."

"Ah."

Doris called Benovia and they charged forward.

They had already discussed their tactics.

First, probe to confirm the enemy's combat strength before deciding whether to use the Judgment Tactic or the Number One Combo Technique.

With the help of water mist sensing, it is easy to confirm.

The three behind him, Phil used [Divine Link] to strengthen the connection between his teammates, Anko maintained the water mist perception, and used water magic to interfere with and block the opponent's spells.

Celia...

She was looking up at the sky.

"I was hoping to focus on the competition, but it still happened. Sigh."

Chapter 332 A Thousand Miles of Frozen Land, the Enraged Celia

At first, no one paid attention to the sudden downpour.

Until one moment, the torrential rain suddenly changed, turning into hailstones.

Such unusual weather also caught the attention of the committee, and one of the committee's sorcerers flew over the entire competition venue, heading towards the clouds.

A moment later, terrifying magic erupted, and the cloud that had been hanging over the competition stage was blasted apart.

The sun shone on the field again.

however……

There was no warmth to be felt on the field.

Both sides, who were originally engaged in a heated match, couldn't help but tighten their clothes.

Celia's opponents had no suspicions and assumed that Celia was the one causing trouble, since they all knew that there was an ice mage in the Saintess Squad.

A little bit of cold, I can handle it!

Then, the colder it got, the slower its movements became.

The Saintess Squad naturally wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip by, and they directly knocked them off the stage or made them surrender.

"In the first game, Team Sacred One wins. Players, please return to the rest area for a short rest. The second game will begin in 15 minutes."

Celia looked up at the sky and said, "Don't go yet, there's some noise."

As soon as Celia finished speaking, the rain and hail that had fallen earlier suddenly froze.

These raindrops naturally fell on the referees, the other team's competitors, and the spectators as well.

As a result, the ice spread to everyone, and the first to be affected were the fourth-level referee and the five contestants on the other side.

The referee was frozen for less than three seconds before being successfully thawed. He then quickly went to the frozen player and helped him break the freeze.

Because the Saintess Squad trusted Celia, they didn't let the raindrops fall on them and remained unharmed, except for some ice crystals on their shoes, which was nothing serious.

The same applies to the other team, which has the assistance of a referee.

but……

The audience seats were in a terrible state.

In the situation just now, some people brought umbrellas in advance, and some people used magic to disperse the raindrops.

But many more people chose to continue watching in the rain, with no umbrella and no magic to resist it.

The situation was critical. Several figures rose into the air from the various viewing areas and quickly helped to unfreeze the frozen players.

The league committee was in a complete mess.

The entire arena instantly descended into chaos.

On the stage, Celia immediately said to the girls, "Benovia, go to spectator section 3 and catch spectators number 3 and 12. Phil, go to spectator section 6 and catch spectators number 7 and 9. Phil..."

After Celia finished speaking quickly, Doris couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

"This is a crucial point in the magic array, I'll explain later. Right now it's urgent. The civilians frozen in ice have no way to resist the cold. Please, hurry!"

“Okay.” Benovia rushed over immediately.

The other girls immediately scattered, preparing to rush towards the audience seats.

But just then, two fourth-tier mages from the league committee appeared and cast spells to stop everyone, saying, "Don't move, stay where you are."

Celia quickly said, "We can stay put, but please go and capture the people in 3-3, 3-12... These people form the [Frozen Everything] magic circle, and we need to destroy the nodes to free the frozen audience."

The two Northern Alliance mages who blocked the Saintess's team frowned and said unhappily, "What do you know, you third-tier mages? We told you not to move, so don't. We'll handle it."

Celia was furious: "Then hurry up and finish it! If you drag this out for even a few more minutes, those ordinary people will die!"

"We are lifting the lockdown on everyone, didn't you see? Lifting the lockdown will take time."

"Instead of unsealing them one by one, why don't you listen to me and destroy the magic array nodes of [Freezing All Things]!"

"What magic array? There's no magic array here except for the one protecting you. What nonsense are you spouting? Are you perhaps connected to the mastermind behind this incident?"

"I……"

Celia found it really infuriating to talk to the Northern Alliance.

As time ticks by, if they are allowed to be unsealed one by one, it will eventually lead to the deaths of at least half of the ordinary viewers.

She couldn't tolerate this happening.

At this moment, she missed the time when Blake gave her the opportunity to perform and unconditionally cooperated with her.

Clearly, expecting these guys from the Northern Alliance to listen to a third-tier mage like her is wishful thinking.

So the girl took action. Faced with the confinement and blockade of the two fourth-tier mages, she chose to use the Lightness and Swiftness spells to unleash all her magic power and crash into the weakest point that Ross had pointed out, forcefully breaking through the spell cast by the fourth-tier mages.

This situation shocked both of them. Then, in a flash, the fourth-tier mage closest to Celia appeared in front of her.

"I told you, don't act rashly at a time like this. Follow the committee's instructions. Didn't you hear me? Go back now!"

A fourth-order spell was unleashed at Celia. This spell was not used at full power; its purpose was simply to repel her.

But now that she's out, how could Celia possibly go back?

She stared at the woman sitting in the audience, holding a snow-white umbrella. The woman was also looking at her, a strange smile playing on her lips, as if mocking her for overestimating herself.

She is one of the key nodes that freezes the entire field. As long as she is defeated and forced to leave her position, Celia will have a way to weaken the effect of the [Freeze All Things] magic circle constructed by the audience, and at least half of the people can be saved.

Celia gritted her teeth. Faced with a fourth-tier spell, she was simply too slow to dodge. There was only one way to avoid it—

"Lord Ross..."

"Go away!"

Celia felt like a ball being hit by a stick, instantly accelerating towards the spectator, while the fourth-tier spell rushing towards her was easily dodged due to the sudden acceleration.

Before the sorcerer could react, she successfully reached the female audience member and smiled.

Amidst the other person's astonished gaze, she grabbed their shoulder, used their body to perform a somersault in the air, and when her feet landed, she transferred all the kinetic energy to them, throwing them violently away.

"Go away!"

Celia returned Ross's words to the heretic audience member.

As Celia clapped her hands, preparing to move on to the next location to interfere with the node, the fourth-tier mage who was responsible for blocking her reacted and came to her side.

Seemingly feeling utterly humiliated, he stared coldly at Celia, unleashing his full power of a fourth-tier aura upon her.

"have you had enough?"

Seeing the suddenly appearing sorcerer, Celia forced herself to keep her spine straight and stared at him, asking each word clearly:

"Are you really going to stop me from doing this, completely disregarding the lives of the spectators?"

The fourth-tier mage ignored her words and coldly replied:

“I suspect you are involved in this sudden freeze. I am now giving you a serious warning and will apply to the committee to disqualify you from the competition and subject you to an investigation by the league committee.”

The girl's face was tense.

But the next second, she suddenly laughed.

"Oh Well."
