In fact, the Holy Court probably didn't have detailed records either, since the last time the Abyss Gate opened was done by the God-King, and the Age of Calamity had already caused a lot of data to be lost.

The Holy Court was established by the God-King and the gods. He modified a great deal of history, and he must have also modified the information about the Gates of the Abyss.

In other words, the information Nicodimus obtained through contacting the Holy Lord was less than the information Celia learned through Ross.

Nicodimus, having only heard the story from someone else, eventually stopped speaking and just listened to Celia.

After hearing about the Abyss and the Gates of the Abyss, Satiffany exclaimed, "Miss Celia is truly knowledgeable!"

"These are all knowledge bestowed upon me by the gods," Celia said with a reserved smile.

The others smiled slightly, not taking it seriously, and assumed that Celia was just being modest.

Ashburn frowned and said, "So, we need to continuously use purification spells to destroy the Abyss Gate? And this process will take a month?"

Celia said, "I once saw in an ancient book a special purification technique, a purification technique for the Abyss. This purification technique originated from the Holy Court's purification technique and was modified based on it. According to the description of this purification technique, it may only take half a day to destroy the Abyss Gate."

Ashburn's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Miss Celia, do you still remember that purification spell? Please teach it to us."

“Ahem.” Nicodimus coughed and said, “Your Majesty Ashborn, it’s getting late. Please return. The diplomatic missions of the Ishtar Empire and other countries will arrive in Koster City tomorrow. If you have any questions, please speak with the Ishtar Empire’s diplomatic mission.”

Celia said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesties, I cannot provide it at the moment. I need to carefully recall the method of learning that purification spell to determine if it is usable. Perhaps I will have learned it by the time the Northern Alliance and the Ishtar diplomatic mission have finished their discussions."

This means that the nations should negotiate first, and only after the negotiations are completed can she use that mysterious purification technique to resolve the Abyss Gate.

Of course, the Northern Alliance could also choose not to use her help and try to purify the Abyss Gate themselves by continuously using purification magic for a month.

It's just a matter of delaying for a month; nobody knows what might happen.

However, based on Celia's description of the Abyss Gate, after such a long period of time, the situation in Koster City is probably not very good.

Regardless of whether Celia provides purification services or not, diplomatic negotiations are still necessary. Once all nations are aware of the dangers of the Abyss Gate, this matter is no longer simply a case of heretics causing trouble, but a crisis concerning the entire continent.

The former is merely an internal matter of the Northern Alliance, while the latter would give other empires a pretext to send troops.

While other empires are not in a hurry, the Northern Alliance has no choice but to be.

Ashburn stood up, lifted Adrian, who was still kneeling, and gave Celia a deep look. He said, "I understand. Tomorrow we will give priority to receiving the Ishtar diplomatic mission. I hope Miss Celia can learn quickly. At that time, I would like to ask Miss Celia to take action to destroy the Abyss Gate and save the Starfall Continent."

After saying that, he and Satiffany took Adrian and left.

Watching the two leave, Nicodimus looked at Celia and said, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Principal Black will be coming with the diplomatic corps tomorrow. The school will stand behind you. Just do your job."

Chapter 343 Purification Begins

The appearance of the Abyss Gate completely interrupted the Warlock League.

After learning of the dangers of this thing, all countries launched an emergency response, sending high-ranking mages to Koster to make contact with the Northern Alliance.

The infighting and power struggles involved are unknown to outsiders.

While the diplomatic activities were underway, Blake also arrived at the hotel where the Holy Magic Academy's participating teams were staying. After learning about the situation in detail from Nicodimus, he gathered the Saintess Squad together.

"I am fully aware of the situation."

Blake looked at Celia with a strange expression. "I didn't expect that committee chairman to be so brave as to go against Celia. This is what happens!"

Celia slowly uttered a question mark: "?"

What do you mean, "How dare you go against me"?

Celia felt that the principal was misunderstanding her more and more.

No, it's not just the principal, it's even those in the Temple of Ember who know him well.

Celia argued, "This is a large-scale operation by the heretics. They would have attacked the Sorcerer League whether I came or not. I just happened to know how to thwart their plan."

Blake smiled and nodded: "I know, I know, so this is what happens when you don't listen to your advice."

Celia: "..."

Blake laughed heartily, then stopped after a while, his expression slowly turning serious: "Celia, are you sure you can take down the Abyss Gate in a day?"

Celia nodded: "Half a day."

Blake looked at Phil: "If we send Phil, how long will it take?"

"I don't know," Celia and Phil said in unison.

Phil said, "I can quickly purify the pollution, but... I haven't been to the Abyss Gate before, so I don't know the specifics. If the pollution level exceeds my capacity, there's nothing I can do."

Blake nodded, looked at Benovia and the other two, and smiled, "Each Saintess has her own unique approach to holy words, purification, and prayer. Phil and Celia seem to have found their strengths. You guys better not be surpassed too much."

Doris said, "Hmph, my purification magic doesn't exist to purify pollution, but to purify ancient ruins. I'll show you another day."

Celia asked curiously, "To purify the ancient ruins? Like Phil did when the lighthouse was lost last time?"

"How could that be! Phil is absorbing and purifying pollution. The purification of ruins I'm talking about refers to those with special curses. My purification technique will move in that direction. In the future, I will definitely be able to remove all curses with one technique and bring out all the artifacts from the ancient ruins!"

"Good ambition."

Blake nodded approvingly. "Celia, if you can take down that Abyss Gate, we'll have more leverage when negotiating with the Northern Alliance. We should try to break it by noon tomorrow at the latest. Be prepared."

"Ok."

Celia nodded in agreement.

……

After a long conversation with the principal and several instructors, Celia returned to her dormitory. As she prepared to rest, she asked Ross, "Lord Ross, if everyone sees the purification spell's remarkable effects tomorrow... do you think I'll be targeted by the heretics?"

Ross smiled slightly: "Bao De, you've cleaned up so many strongholds and used so many purification spells before. They all have images of you, but they're not sure who it is. If you use the same purification spell tomorrow, aside from anything else, the Deep Sea Aid Society will definitely treat you as a major enemy and will launch an attack on you on your way back and after you return."

"An attack by heretics... I'm not that afraid..."

"Being targeted is never a good thing. Next, remember the other version of the purification spell I'm going to teach you. This version has been slightly tweaked so that it can only target the Abyss Gate and purify it faster. However, it can only purify the Abyss Gate. Although it's better than the regular purification spell at purifying demonic energy, the difference is only slight."

Celia's eyes lit up: "I want to learn!"

The girl closed her eyes and began to receive the knowledge transmission from Ross.

A moment later, she opened her eyes. Celia, who had already reached a mastery level of proficiency with the purification spell, easily noticed some subtle differences between this purification spell and the previous ones.

The biggest difference is in the way the performance is presented.

Ross said, "This time you need to act in your own right. I've made some minor modifications to the spell's effects to make it resemble the Holy See's purification spell, so that you won't be constantly watched and assassinated by the heretics."

As he spoke, Ross chuckled, "However, you dismantled the Abyss Gate that someone had gone to so much trouble to summon. It'll be a bit difficult for you not to be watched."

"Let them keep an eye on me, I'll purify as many as they come!" Celia nodded and began trying out the new purification spell.

Once you understand one thing, you understand everything; the learning process is quick.

Before long, Celia had mastered the new method of casting the purification spell.

Time flies when you're practicing.

……

the next day.

Celia received a message from Black, instructing her to go and deal with the Abyss Gate at noon.

"This Abyss Gate truly lives up to its reputation as something that can bring calamity to an era. On the third day alone, fourth- and fifth-tier monsters began to appear inside. The Northern Alliance is under great pressure and is retreating step by step."

Back on the field, Celia looked down at the Abyss Gate guarded by several sixth-tier mages, and heard Blake's voice beside her.

"After this matter was resolved, they still had to hold their noses and ask us to send people over to help them eradicate the heretics. Hahaha, just thinking about those old geezers looking like they were eating shit makes me want to laugh."

Blake seemed to be in a very good mood.

Celia didn't speak. After listening for a moment, she boarded her flying broom and flew to the middle of the two vortexes.

“Principal Black, I need everyone to protect me. When I cast the purification spell, the monsters inside might come out and attack me, and the heretics in the shadows... might also launch an attack.”

Blake nodded: "There are so many sixth-tier mages here, you can do it without worry."

If it were a sorcerer from the Northern Alliance who said that, Celia would be a little worried, but if it were Black, then it's alright.

Celia nodded, and a divine, dazzling light slowly emanated from her.

The demonic energy emanating from the vortex dissipated rapidly upon encountering this light, as if it had met its nemesis.

Under the light of the purification spell, the two vortexes seemed to slow down their rotation slightly.

This situation can only be felt by the most recent sixth-tier mages.

Everyone stared at Celia in surprise.

"Could this sorcerer from the Holy Magic Academy be the legendary candidate for Saintess?"

"Her purification spell doesn't seem much different from the purification spells commonly used by the Holy Court, yet it possesses such a strong purification efficiency..."

"I've heard for a long time that the effects of purification spells vary from person to person. I didn't take it seriously before, but now it seems that the differences between people are huge."

"Impressive. We can already see a young sixth-tier mage being born."

"Be careful not to let the monsters interfere with her."

"..."

The divine light gradually intensified.

But at that moment, a Northern Alliance sorcerer quietly approached Celia, and his longsword suddenly erupted with terrifying magical energy, stabbing fiercely at her!

This unexpected turn of events caught the sorcerers of the Northern Alliance and other empires completely off guard.

Except for Blake.

Thank you to reader 20190619164050509 for the amulet for Phil!

It's raining, and I'm not sure if there will be a sudden power outage. Just letting you know in advance; if there is a power outage, I'll have to update again tomorrow.

Chapter 344 Don’t set flags randomly

"Friends of the Northern Alliance, are you truly a vast empire, or merely a backyard for heretics?"

Blake casually tossed the mage's corpse into the abyss.

He looked at the Northern Alliance sorcerer, his tone full of mockery.

The sixth-tier mages of the Northern Alliance didn't smile at him; their faces turned pale and then red.

Blake laughed: "Could it be that some of you sixth-order heretics are?"

Normally, many sixth-tier mages from the Northern Alliance would immediately come out to refute this.

But now, they are silent.

They exchanged a glance, and a faint sense of distance had already formed between them.

At this point, if a sixth-tier traitor were to appear...

The consequences could be disastrous.

Blake said, "To avoid interrupting Celia's purification, I ask all my friends in the Northern Alliance not to come within ten meters of her."

Ashburn said, "Of course, we will keep a close eye on our people. Miss Celia, please rest assured in your purification."

Seemingly sensing that the strength of the Abyss Gate was weakening, a large number of monsters began to rush out of the gate. Apart from Black, all the other mages were fighting the monsters.

Just then, several magical missiles suddenly flew in from afar, their target being Celia.

"As expected, they started to act."

Blake raised his hand, and a blue six-pointed star appeared on his hand, quickly spreading out to completely surround Celia.

Then, he went straight at it and rammed into the magic missile head-on.

“These damned heretics! They only dare to sneak around in the shadows, and they don’t dare to fight fair and square.”

As a monarch knight, Ashburn snorted angrily and immediately broke away from the battlefield, charging towards the direction from which the magic missiles were coming.

Seeing this, Blake couldn't help but shake his head: "How reckless."

Fortunately, there were representatives from various countries and many fifth and sixth-tier mages from the Northern Alliance present, which prevented the heretics and monsters from getting a chance.

While purifying, Celia was also keeping an eye on her surroundings. Seeing Ashburn leave, she looked at Ross and asked, "Lord Ross, is the Heretic Church doing everything it can to stop me?"

"Yes, but there are a lot of sixth-tier mages gathered here, so they can't cause any trouble." Ross laughed. "The Northern Alliance has suffered setbacks one after another, so it seems their monarch is also very annoyed and has already taken real action."

Once or twice is enough, but three or four times, and then they even summoned a gate to the abyss, and right in the imperial capital! If we don't bring all our top-tier forces over here to deal with it, the empire might as well change its name to Heresy afterward.
