Even when Celia wanted to ask about Ross Dragon language magic, she forgot to do so as she focused on studying her final opponent.
Ross didn't disturb her, but just watched her study with Benovia and the others. Occasionally, he would take the puppet out for a stroll, buy some things for Celia as preparation for the trip to the far north after the competition, or clean up the residual divine power of pollution for Phil.
When Celia went to the tavern to listen to the mercenaries bragging a while ago, she also inquired about the situation in the far north from the mercenary guild. She learned that the place was very mysterious and that even if one went there for sightseeing, it was not advisable to go too deep.
The receptionist from the Mercenary Guild also taught Celia various first-aid tips for snow and ice, such as how to keep warm, how to start a fire, and how to hunt.
As for where the danger comes from, the other party doesn't know either; they'll only find out by going there themselves.
And so, time slowly passed until the day of the final.
With Team Sacred One defeating Team Elf, Celia's fanbase seems to have grown again.
As soon as she came in from outside, Celia saw many spectators holding banners in support of her.
After she appeared, the audience erupted in a tsunami of cheers.
The cheers put a lot of pressure on her.
This puzzled her.
"No, even after all that, why aren't you disappointed? Why do you like me even more?"
Ross chuckled, “While pride and purity may inspire awe, they are ultimately just illusions, hazy and indistinct. Your sarcasm may have made people feel that your persona has collapsed, but it also allowed more people to see your human side. Coupled with your adorable appearance, your tea-loving charm, and your sharp tongue, people find you even more endearing and approachable, which is why they like you even more.”
"What do you mean by 'human side'?" Celia protested, dissatisfied. "What am I besides being human?"
"They are the retinue of an evil god."
"Am I... a follower of an evil god not human?!"
“Yes, yes,” Ross smiled.
Celia gave a disgruntled snort, and after arriving backstage, she went to talk to Black, Ashburn, and others, telling them about the heretics' movements.
Both Black and Ashburn were covered in dust, especially Ashburn, who was bruised and battered and was being treated by Black's healing spell.
Beside her was Satiffany, shaking her head and sighing.
Celia was used to it and found it unsurprising.
They did this often ever since the day she relayed a message to Ashburn, conveying what Black truly wanted to say to Ashburn.
But after the fight, they were able to sit down and talk properly again...
The girl felt that the two were acting a bit out of line.
But she wasn't interested.
After greeting them, she said, "The heretics made some moves during the team competition finals, but because we successfully caught them before they caused any trouble, this time the commotion wasn't too big. They just sent some misled people to sneak out of the competition venue, planning to rush up and annoy everyone when the transparent shield was removed after the competition."
"Several heretics secretly brought knives, intending to kill indiscriminately once the competition begins. They are..."
After the report, Blake immediately mocked, "Look at you, even at this point, your screening is still so incompetent, letting infidels in so easily."
Ashburn retorted angrily, "That's enough! If it weren't for the mystic mage's intervention, your City of Radiant Embers wouldn't have been able to deal with that white whale so easily."
Blake didn't care at all. "It's just a fifth-tier monster. Its damage is limited. We've made thorough preparations. Unlike you, the temporary guild leader, who made thorough preparations but still has heretics sneaking in every time. You're like a sieve that can't let anything through."
Ashburn Redwin: "How was I supposed to know there would be so many traitors? I even suspect that the original committee was full of heretics who betrayed us."
Blake said, "I'm afraid even Adrian is a traitor. After all, he spoke up for that weakling and unlucky guy, disqualifying Celia from the competition."
"Weakling and unlucky" refers to the fourth-tier mage who was severely injured by Celia.
Ashburn shook his head: "No, neither Adrian nor that other person are stupid, not heretics."
They investigated these two thoroughly, going through every possible detail, almost to the point of summoning their ancestors from the underworld for questioning using [Deathrattle].
Finally came to the conclusion——
These two are simply idiots, not heretics.
Seeing that everything was alright, Celia said goodbye to them and returned to the preparation area to reunite with Benovia and the others.
Only now did Celia realize that she hadn't asked Ross about dragon language magic.
She asked the question, and Ross smiled slightly and said, "Dragon language magic from a thousand years ago was a special combination technique that could only be used after signing a contract with a dragon. It used the dragon's special language to communicate with the elements and could obtain special spell effects. Its power was indeed greatly enhanced, but it also had a fatal weakness."
Celia's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked, "What weakness?"
Ross didn't speak, but smiled at her.
"Please, Your Majesty! Please guide Celia through her confusion and bestow a divine decree!"
Ross laughed out loud: "Alright, alright, stop with your utterly insincere request. Ever since that time I gave you a good dream, you seem to be getting more and more disrespectful to God."
Celia: Hehe.
"I think I should show my authority and earn your respect."
Celia: No, hehe.
Chapter 354 Dragon Language Magic vs. Super Invincible I Love You
As the time came, Celia followed Captain Doris to the arena.
Looking at the group of one man and four women opposite her, she recalled what Ross had said about the fatal weakness of dragon language magic.
"Dragon language magic is obtained through a pact with a dragon. Humans cannot use dragon magic, so dragon language magic is essentially adding the 'blessing' of 'dragon language' to one's original spells."
"If the other party is truly using dragon language magic, but has not made a contract with a dragon, then to make it work, one must designate a 'dragon'. I once thought about a question: if dragon language magic is considered as an amplification of spells, is it possible to use it without a dragon? I have done some research on this."
"However, I wasn't the one doing the main research. Later, I got caught up in other things and forgot about it. I don't know if the research was successful. And then... I digress. The fatal weakness of dragon language magic lies in the contract. This kind of spell, which is used through a contract, is itself restricted by the contract."
"Find out the form of the contract on the other party, and then use spells that can affect the contract to affect its maintenance, so as to break the other party's dragon language 'blessing' and directly nullify the other party's dragon language magic."
"However, this is on the premise that the other party is actually using dragon language magic. If it is just an improvement to the spell and the improvement method is claimed to be dragon language magic, then it will have no effect."
Therefore, I should first confirm whether the other party is truly using dragon language magic before making a decision. After going through this in her mind, Celia thought to herself.
Although she watched the Blue Dragon team's previous battle as a spectator, the fourth-tier mage's barrier prevented spectators from sensing the magical fluctuations within. They could only determine the spells used by observing the light emanating from the spells.
If Benovia hadn't told her, she wouldn't have known that the Blue Dragon team used [Dragon Language Magic]. Seeing the strength of their spells, she would have thought they had mastered a microscopic level spell.
Moreover, the opponent may also be holding back, and it is unclear whether they used dragon language magic.
Fortunately, they are also holding back, and have not yet used the five-person combination technique taught by the gods.
Come to think of it, Lord Ross must have been watching their match at the time, and he probably already knew... This thought suddenly popped into Celia's head.
Celia had never seen dragon language magic before and didn't know how to identify it, so she could only ask Ross after the other party used it to draw a conclusion.
If it were someone else, they might genuinely not know and would need to make a judgment on the spot, but for Lord Ross...
He must have his reasons for not telling the truth directly, the girl thought.
A jumble of thoughts raced through her mind, and until the referee began the countdown, she didn't utter a single trash talk, simply exchanging silent glances with the Blue Dragons.
The opposing team's starting formation was unusual. The only male player stood in the front center, while the four female players stood on either side, making it look like his two pairs of wings.
Whether these are his wings or not, we don't know.
If it's really dragon language magic that affects their contract, won't it cause his wings to get tangled?
"2, 1, go!"
The jumble of thoughts ended with the referee's call to begin.
Celia raised her staff high, and the clouds of ice rain spell had already formed in the sky.
Her puppet held the Myriad Lights Sword upright in front of its chest, pointing it towards the sky. Holding the sword with both hands, ice magic erupted from its body, forming a sturdy shield woven from withered silk and mithril, covered by an ice shield spell, enveloping all its mages and puppets.
The others didn't stand still either, and used their spells in the order of their combo attacks.
Doris unleashed the singularity fire, which, like starlight, emerged around her and the puppet. With Phil's elemental harmonization, it easily passed through the ice shield and merged with the slowly falling ice rain, disappearing into it.
Benovia's puppet held its staff in both hands, which was quickly covered by the interdimensional warhammer cannon, forming a spatial link endpoint. Anko's puppet raised its hand, rapidly cooling and preparing.
While they were preparing, the Blue Dragon team didn't just stand there doing nothing.
Their puppets then formed a similar formation to the sorcerers themselves. The male sorcerer's puppet rushed forward, while the other female sorcerers' puppets began casting spells.
A barrage of dazzling spells bombarded the Ice Shield, quickly creating numerous cracks.
At the same time, the sorcerers standing behind seemed to transform into strange forms. The male sorcerer looked like a giant dragon, emitting a silent roar, while the four female sorcerers behind him seemed to become the dragon's wings.
With a flap of its wings, a gust of wind swept across the entire arena, even causing ripples to spread across the transparent barrier set up by the referees.
If the transparent barrier is like this, then it goes without saying that Celia's ice shield is even more powerful.
Even if this ice shield is a combo skill with defensive power comparable to a fourth-tier weapon, it is still only comparable, not a fourth-tier weapon.
Therefore, under this fierce wind, the ice shield shattered.
Fortunately, Celia gave an early warning and quickly set up multiple layers of ice shields, preventing all their preparations from being blown away by the gust of wind.
"Dragon language magic, Dragon Gale, its effect is to disperse surrounding spells, but their dragon form is only a simulation, so the effect is not strong. It can only disperse things no more than three meters above the ground, and it has no effect above three meters."
Ross's words reached Celia's mind.
She didn't have time to analyze it carefully because the other party's puppet arrived.
After the dragon's whirlwind swept through, the male sorcerer's puppet transformed into a giant white fireball, hurtling straight toward the saintesses.
Celia's danger-sensing radar went off like crazy.
Ice Shield was as fragile as paper in front of this magical fireball.
Fortunately, the "Super Invincible I Love You" combo was already completed at this point.
Benovia and the puppet simultaneously assumed the stance of wielding hammers in both hands, aiming the hammerheads at the oncoming fireball. A large amount of ice rain containing singularity fire, which had been suspended in mid-air, vanished silently, followed by a line of ice rain shot from the front of the interdimensional warhammer cannon.
Numerous tiny ice raindrops formed an ice pillar with a diameter of over 20cm. Each drop of ice rain contained a singularity of fire, causing the ice pillar to shimmer with countless starlight, like a starry ice pillar. It collided violently with the oncoming white fireball, causing a series of violent explosions.
The explosion generated a dazzling magical shockwave that instantly spread in all directions.
An arc-shaped barrier appeared at the front of both the Blue Dragon Team and the Sacred One Team, dispersing the incoming explosive impact and releasing it in other directions.
It looked as if the two sides were exchanging waves, with the arc-shaped barrier acting as their respective shields. Except for the area where they were standing, the entire arena was shrouded in the magical radiance and impact of the explosion, making it impossible to see anything.
Even the ground beneath their feet began to shake!

Chapter 355 A Song of Ice and Fire
This scene shocked all the viewers.
The shockwave was blocked by the referee's transparent barrier, but the barrier kept rippled, making the audience a little worried that it might break.
However, while the impact and magical radiance were blocked, the sound was not.
A series of violent explosions created a deafening roar, like a song of ice and fire being poured onto a piano, echoing throughout the entire stadium!
Everyone became excited and watched the situation on the field with bated breath.
On the committee, all the fourth-level members' eyelids twitched incessantly, especially the referees.
Maintaining the barrier used to be a simple task, but now he has to concentrate fully on it. If he accidentally breaks it, he might have to sacrifice dozens of spectators.
If this is aimed at him...
He dared not think.
Not only them, but even Ashburn's eyelids twitched violently a few times.
"Blake, tell me, is this a third-tier mage?"
Blake, who was disguised as a member of the committee and watching the battle with him, said, "To be precise, it's the limit of the third tier, almost the fourth tier."
"Third-tier is third-tier, and fourth-tier is fourth-tier. What do you mean by 'quasi-fourth-tier'? Do you even get invited to a fourth-tier meeting?"
Blake glanced at him. "Although I'm good at fighting, I don't know how strong the younger generation is. I also don't know... the team from our school... is even more ridiculously strong than I thought."
"Luckily there were ten people. If it had been just one person... the mage system would have to be reformed."
"Have you forgotten that Celia severely injured a fourth-tier mage with a single spell?"
"That's because he's stupid. Taking a spell with his face would injure even a fifth-tier mage," Ashburn said, sighing. "I thought your school's team had reached the finals, and in the end, just like last year, you were defeated 2-0 by the Blue Dragon Magic Academy. I didn't expect you to have this trick up your sleeve. Why didn't you use it in the previous years?"
