Celia felt a little strange watching the arena change from a low-level mage competition to a high-level mage monster battle.

"With things turned out like this, can this competition even continue?"

Ross laughed and said, "A gate to the abyss of this size would take about a month to purify. Unless you take action and use the purification technique I taught you, it will only take half a day."

Is there such a big difference between half a day and a month?

Celia was shocked.

“It’s very large because the purification technique I taught you is specifically designed for abyssal demonic energy. The gate to the abyss is constructed of demonic energy and has the ability to self-repair. The reason why regular purification takes a month is that it will self-repair during the purification process, thus extending the purification time.”

"The purification technique I taught you is not only ten times more effective than the former, but it can also prevent the Abyss Gate from repairing itself. The reason it took half a day is because your strength is insufficient. If it were someone of the fourth rank or above, it would only take two or three hours."

"It seems this year's Mage League will have to be suspended," Celia said with some regret.

Ross said, "If it's interrupted, the Northern Alliance will lose face. They will definitely try everything to solve the problem quickly and restart the game. If so many incidents happen in a row and they are still going through the motions without the high-level mages coming out to maintain order... then they are hopeless. Just treat them as a cult stronghold."

Not long after Ross finished speaking, several figures flew in from afar and landed on the field to join Adrian and the others in eliminating the monsters from the abyss.

As the abyssal monsters peeked out and were instantly killed, Celia muttered to herself, "It seems like the Abyss Gate is nothing special; all the monsters that come out get killed as soon as they appear."

Ross laughed and said, "Man-made summoning arrays are generally quite ordinary. Each time, only a few monsters appear, which is far inferior to naturally generated arrays. However, this is just the beginning. The Abyss Gate will reach its peak strength in ten days. At that time, sixth-tier monsters should appear. Perhaps, if we are unlucky, even seventh-tier monsters will run out."

What do naturally occurring gates to the abyss look like?

"It can pass through hundreds of monsters at a time, and when it is first formed, two seventh-tier monsters will definitely come out to guard it. Other monsters will invade outwards. When too much demonic energy is laid in a place, a second abyss gate will be formed, and two sixth-tier monsters will be refreshed to guard it. There is no limit to the formation of abyss gates until they fill the entire world."

Celia couldn't imagine the scene, but just thinking about it was terrifying.

Ross said he had experienced an invasion of the abyss.

If Rose hadn't been so strong back then...

"Just like you thought. When the monsters invaded, I was only at level six. By the time we finally repelled them, I was already at level eight."

In reality, Ross prefers to play a one-sided game, saving the final Abyss Gate to farm monsters, and only going to deal with the final boss after reaching level eight.

"Let's leave this to the Northern Alliance. Let them do their futile work for a while. Once they realize there's no solution, they'll calm down."

Celia looked at Ross: "Should I tell them that I can purify the Abyss Gate?"

"Don't reveal it yet. Tell your mentor first, let him know that this is the Abyss Gate from the Abyss. Although I don't know if your mentor knows about the Abyss Gate, he might inform the Northern Alliance. At that time..."

"Just wait for the Northern Alliance to come begging to you."

"What if they don't come begging?"

"Then let's ignore it."

"it is good!"

Chapter 341 A sixth-tier mage arrives, requesting Celia's help!

What happened on the field spread rapidly.

Before long, the whole of Costa City knew about it.

No one felt threatened by the appearance of the Abyss Gate because they didn't recognize it and thought it was a heretical tactic that could be quickly dealt with by a high-level mage.

Their focus was on the large number of innocent spectators who were unfortunately caught up in the incident, as well as the fourth-level referees and five contestants who were among the first to be involved.

"It is said that those idiots mocked their opponents before the competition, calling the girls cowards."

"Aren't they true warriors?"

"Oh, indeed, they are true warriors, fighting with their lives on the line."

"I'm wondering how the Alliance handles security. There have been three incidents already, why are they not taking any precautions at all, and letting the heretics cause trouble as easily as if they were strolling around in their own backyard?"

"Who knows? A bunch of good-for-nothings."

"It is said that Archduke Gerard was present at the time, but..."

"Pfft! Hahahaha!"

"Don't laugh at the challenge? I admit I lost."

"It seems this mage league can't continue. Before, only some spectators died, but now not only a lot of people have died, but even the players are dead."

"Luckily, I listened to Miss Celia and didn't go to watch the match, otherwise I would have been one of them."

"Thank you, Miss Celia, she's an angel!"

"I suspect this is because the league disqualified Miss Celia from the competition. They persecuted Miss Celia, which is why she is so unlucky."

"agree!"

The mercenary tavern was bustling with activity in the evening. Celia listened to the discussions around her with a constant smile on her face.

Although she doesn't drink and doesn't fit in with the lively pub, she enjoys listening to people brag and discuss her exploits, preferably with praise.

It can save your mood for the whole day.

Ross's ghostly figure appeared beside her, his hands clasped behind his head as he leaned back in his chair.

Seeing this, Celia whispered, "Lord Ross, mind your image. You are a god."

"If I've become a god and I still have to care about my image, then what's the point of becoming a god?" Ross said, one foot on the table, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth.

Celia: "..."

Fortunately, Ross's prestige had already been pretty much ruined by Celia, so Celia didn't care. She said, "I've already spoken to Professor Nicodimus. I wonder if he'll explain the situation to the people in the Northern Alliance."

Ross laughed, "I already said that, and the Northern Alliance mages are already looking for you. Oh, they're here."

As soon as she finished speaking, two people, a man and a woman, walked into the mercenary tavern. They looked around the hall and came to stand in front of Celia.

Celia's disguise was completely ineffective in their eyes, and the woman politely asked, "Hello, may we sit here?"

Celia nodded. "Please make yourself at home."

"Thank you."

The two sat down and, after the waiter came over, ordered a drink and two beverages. Then, the woman introduced herself: "Hello, let me introduce myself. I am Satiffany, a knight of the Northern Alliance monarch, Ivan Dorr. He is Ashburn, also a knight of Ivan Dorr."

The knights of the Northern Alliance monarch, Celia had some impression of these two; they were the two sixth-tier mages who rushed over to join the battle at the very beginning.

Upon seeing them, Celia nodded. "Hello, I am Celia, an ordinary student at the Holy Magic Academy of the Ishtar Empire."

Satiffany smiled and said, "We do know Miss Celia's name. She is the leader of the Southern City magic array construction, the strategist of the Lost Lighthouse, and the future saintess of the Holy Court. Each of these titles is one that we respect."

If a fourth-tier mage had said this, Celia wouldn't have felt anything, but the two in front of her were both sixth-tier mages, and their flattery made her feel a little strange.

Just like the richest man in the country praised her for earning a thousand gold coins a day, saying it was incredibly impressive.

Based on the Northern Alliance's terminology for sixth-tier mages, Celia said, "You flatter me, Your Highness Satiffany. May I ask what brings you two here? I am merely an ordinary third-tier mage."

Ashburn said, "We are here on behalf of the Northern Alliance and the organizers of the Sorcerer's League to apologize to Miss Celia. Due to the Northern Alliance's negligence, Miss Celia has been treated unfairly here. We are very sorry."

Satiffany said, "We hope Miss Celia can tell us in detail about the origin of what Miss Celia calls the 'Gate of the Abyss,' and whether there is a way to break it."

Celia said, "There's no need for an apology. I can't accept apologies from the two Your Majesties. This matter was not caused by the two Your Majesties, nor is it the fault of the Northern Alliance. It's just that some people wanted to pull a stunt. Celia can't bear it."

"As for the Gate of the Abyss, I would love to tell you both about it in detail, but unfortunately, after I was disqualified from the competition, according to the school's regulations, I need to return immediately after the competition. I have to leave tonight and return to school to study."

Satiffany and Ashburn exchanged a glance, understanding what Celia meant.

Satiffany smiled and said, "Don't worry, Miss Celia's eligibility to participate has been reinstated. Once the competition resumes, she can continue to represent your school."

Celia blinked. "But I didn't see the league committee president, Adrian, issue a statement saying my eligibility has been reinstated. I want to hear it for myself... but he must be too busy to bother with a nobody like me. Oh well!"

After saying that, Celia got up and left.

"I apologize, Your Excellencies, I am a little tired and will be heading back to the inn. If you need anything else, you can come to the inn to find me before I leave."

Watching Celia leave, Satiffany and Ashburn exchanged a glance, and Satiffany smiled and said, "That child is rather cute."

Ashburn said, "I really don't know what Adrian is thinking. Such a beautiful and lovely child, yet he stubbornly disqualifies her, even after she saved the league."

On their way here, they had already learned the details.

They learned that Celia had actually reported the situation before the first incident began, but the league committee had ignored it.

It's unclear whether Celia reported anything the second time, but we learned from Nicodimus that the night before the competition, she risked entering the Arctic Blood Alliance stronghold that had been entrenched in Koster for many years and destroyed the stronghold that they hadn't noticed until now.

The third, and most well-known, incident occurred when Celia severely injured a referee in an attempt to save the lives of thousands of spectators, resulting in her being disqualified by Adrian.

Celia was involved in all three incidents, which made the two of them extremely concerned.

This time, they learned from Nicodimus that Celia knew the source of the double vortex. After discussing with the other monarch knights, they rushed over, hoping to find a way to break the gate to the abyss.

Before they arrived, they knew that asking Celia for help wouldn't be so simple. They set aside their sixth-tier arrogance and understood Celia's meaning from her attitude.

A mere fifth-tier mage.

He was also a fifth-tier mage who was incompetent and caused the Northern Alliance to be ridiculed as well.

When Satiffany and Ashburn looked at each other, they had already made up their minds.

Chapter 342 Miss Celia is going to save the world this time!

Nighttime, at the hotel where the Holy Magic Academy's competition team was resting.

"Your Majesty!"

Ashburn kicked Adrian hard in the knee, forcing him to kneel down, giving him no chance to speak, and telling him to kneel down first.

When Celia saw this, she was quite startled.

She quickly said, "Your Excellency Ashburn, there's no need for this. It's not good for President Adrian."

Ashburn said calmly, "There's nothing wrong with it. A guy who was incompetent and caused the Mage League to be postponed or even canceled multiple times, plunging the Northern Alliance into a monster crisis, is not even worth killing on the spot."

"Uh...it's not that bad..."

For Celia, Adrian only disqualified her from the competition; there was no need to kill her outright.

Of course, how serious the situation was for the Northern Alliance was none of Celia's concern.

Ashburn kicked Adrian. "Aren't you going to apologize to Miss Celia right now?"

A terrifying sixth-tier aura pressed down on Adrian, forcing him to bow to Celia. He bit his lip, clenched and unclenched his fists, and after a moment, he lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Celia. I abused my power as president and disqualified you from the competition without authorization. This was wrong of me, and I express my deepest apologies. Please forgive my actions."

Ashburn said coldly, "Just an apology?"

Adrian hesitated for a long time before reluctantly taking a box out of his pocket.

"This is a pure magic crystal with a purity of 98%. Please accept it as compensation."

"Uh, this is too precious, I can't accept it."

Celia shook her head.

High-grade magic crystals or something of equivalent value would be sufficient; pure magic crystals, especially 98% pure ones, would be far too valuable for Celia.

You should know that the pure magic crystal she is currently using is probably only about 50% pure, and even that is a "mining card" that has been used repeatedly.

“Please accept this, Miss Celia. It’s not just an apology for disqualifying you, but also a gift of thanks.”

Nicholas said from the side, "Take it, Celia. What you have done during this time is worth this pure magic crystal."

"Alright then, thank you, Your Majesty Ashborn and Your Majesty Satiffany." Celia reluctantly accepted the gift box, and even her gaze towards Adrian became more pleasing.

Nicodimus said, "Your Majesty Ashborn, rather than punishing Guild Master Adrian, I suggest we first find a way to deal with the Abyss Gate. I learned from the Holy Lord that the Abyss Gate was one of the culprits of the Calamity Era five hundred years ago. If we allow the Abyss Gate to continue releasing monsters, no one knows whether it will lead to the Calamity descending again."

Ashburn nodded: "Yes, so we are very sincere in wanting to know about the Abyss Gate and whether it is possible to enter it and eliminate future troubles."

Celia said, "Don't go, you'll die."

Satiffany nodded. "Of course we won't be that reckless."

Ashburn said, "We have already announced the reinstatement of Celia's eligibility through the league committee, but the issues of the Abyss Gate and the Heretics have not yet been resolved, so it is unlikely that the competition will resume in the short term."

Satiffany said, "Miss Celia, please allow Mr. Nicodimus to explain the details of the Abyss Gate to us."

Celia looked at Nicodimers.

Nicodimus nodded. "Tell them, Celia, let them know the seriousness of the Abyss Gate."

"Ok."

Celia nodded and slowly recounted the information about the Abyss and the Abyss Gate.

For others, the most authoritative records in this area are probably only found within the Holy Court.
