Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint

Even the sorcerers responsible for beach safety were on the run.

They could handle ordinary small sharks, but they had no intention of fighting that giant shark that looked at least ten meters long.

As for ordinary people, may they have good fortune.

Celia sighed softly, took out her staff, and a ball of ice quickly condensed on the staff before flying towards the giant shark.

This was just the beginning. A large number of ice balls were gathering, following the first ice ball as it flew towards the giant shark, crashing into it and exploding.

Under Celia's special control, the giant shark was thrown into an uninhabited area by the impact of the explosion, making a heavy thud.

Celia didn't go to see the giant shark.

Because they were the weak who had been forced to retreat ashore.

Despite its enormous size, aside from its size, it's just an ordinary monster of the first or second tier.

The real danger lies in the sea.

Celia, staff in hand, summoned a magical puppet and walked against the flow of people to the shore, staring intently at the sea.

The monster didn't appear, but an invisible pressure was already present.

Its original target was the giant shark, but when Celia stood next to the giant shark, facing it, and her body was filled with surging magic, its target became Celia.

Celia waited for a moment and found that the other party was still lurking and showed no sign of coming out.

Do I really have to get you out of here?

Celia looked back and confirmed that most of the people were far from the shore, watching her from a distance, still shaken.

Someone tried to use the bracelet's photo-taking function to capture a picture of Celia, but found that Celia, shrouded in magic, appeared blurry in the photo.

The operation of magic affected their recordings, because they were ordinary people and did not have the magic to eliminate this effect, so they could only record relatively blurry images.

There were also sorcerers among the crowd, and the images they recorded were clearer.

Ignoring the people behind her, and confirming that the sea monster would only lurk in the shadows and not make a move anytime soon, Celia raised her staff, unleashing a burst of rich ice magic.

"Since you won't come out or leave, then I'll 'invite' you out."

A minor spell that freezes everything: Frost Condenses, activate!

While frost, which can freeze water, cannot freeze everything around it in the same way that everything else freezes, it is more efficient than freezing everything else in places with water.

The seawater that rushed towards Celia was instantly frozen, forming frozen waves.

The freeze was spreading, rapidly engulfing the sea monster.

boom!

Another roar followed. A tentacle resembling an octopus broke through the frozen ice, shot into the sky, and then slammed down on Celia.

With the aid of her lightness skill, Celia leaped lightly, dodging the tentacle's strike.

Celia raised her staff. "The ocean has never been the domain of marine life, but rather—Celia's domain!"

The tentacles that crashed in were instantly frozen, and then—

"burst!"

Celia didn't give the tentacles a chance to break free of the freeze, and directly detonated the frozen area.

A piercing scream came from the sea, and the exploded tentacle sprayed out a large amount of blood.

Seizing the opportunity, Celia's puppet unleashed a sword aura formed from an ice blade, severing the tentacle!

Ice Blast is really useful.

Now, the hidden sea monsters could no longer remain hidden.

It revealed its true form—

One...

A killer whale with long tentacles?

The upper body that appeared made Celia pause for a moment; it looked a lot like an orca.

But when its full form appeared, Celia realized that only the top was like an orca; the bottom was replaced by a large number of tentacles, as if a tentacle monster had eaten the orca's body and then moved inside.

"No, that seems to be it."

Celia noticed that the place where the tentacles emerged did not match the 'orca'.

It's like an orca being emptied of its belly by mealworms, with the mealworms acting as its tentacles, writhing wildly.

Ross's voice came through: "These are aquatic parasites, not single monsters, but a group. Each tentacle is equivalent to a monster. When they unite to devour a creature, their heads will collide and stick together, sharing a single brain. At the same time, they will disguise themselves as the creature they are devouring, although their disguise is rather clumsy."

"What rank are they?"

"Each is of the second rank, and the combination is uncertain, depending on the quantity."

"Second-tier...that's good."

Celia gripped her staff tightly, looking at the aquatic parasite.

Numerous tentacles burst forth from the sea in ways that Celia could not comprehend at all, crashing through the frozen surface and hurtling toward Celia on the shore in an arc reminiscent of the giant shark from before.

Celia squinted.

"What a perfect sitting duck!"

Chapter 410 Unknown Attractions

The aquatic parasite leaped high, exposing the orca's belly skin, allowing Celia to see the dense, twisted tentacles inside its abdominal cavity.

Celia didn't know how defensive that orca skin was.

But now is just right.

"No matter how strong you become after combining your powers, your body will only be at the second-tier level."

The staff was raised, and a large number of ice balls appeared. At the same time, the puppet also slashed out several ice blades, and all the magic rushed towards the leaping aquatic parasite.

The roaring sound was incessant, and large amounts of blood fell with the swarm of aquatic parasitic beasts, staining the entire beach red.

With a light leap, Celia dodged the aquatic parasite's attack. A barrage of spells appeared around Celia and rained down on the aquatic parasite.

After a long time, the icy mist dissipated, leaving only a large amount of flesh and blood on the spot. The orca skin, along with the aquatic parasite, was completely blown up and left unrecognizable.

The still-shaken crowd, upon discovering that the enormous object was actually a useless piece of junk, cheered.

The mage responsible for monitoring the ocean on the beach ran over quickly and stopped not far from Celia, looking at her with awe.

"Thank you for your help. If it weren't for you..."

"It was just a small matter." Celia raised her hand to interrupt the other person, putting the puppet and weapon away. "You should report to the city lord and have this place cleaned up. Also, keep an eye on the sea; there might be some sea monsters that get attracted here."

"Okay okay."

The other party readily agreed.

After leaving the beach, Celia asked, "Lord Ross, besides this, will any other monsters come?"

Ross said, "I'm not sure, it depends on what monsters are nearby."

While Celia was fighting the enemy, Ross told her that this aquatic parasite should strictly be classified as a deep-sea monster, and like the White Whale, it is a deep-sea monster that came from the abyss.

However, it is of a relatively low level and can only hunt ordinary creatures to survive, while also serving as food for high-level monsters.

These monsters generally don't approach the coastline easily because the coastline isn't polluted by the demonic energy they prefer. If they stay in unpolluted areas for a long time, they will gradually become weaker and eventually might not even be able to defeat ordinary fish.

"Therefore, there is only one possibility for why the aquatic parasite came here: it was attracted by something."

"What exactly attracted them here...?"

Celia fell into deep thought.

It is clearly not pollution.

Because Leytes is a large city with beaches, a port, and iconic landmarks, such as the spectacular giant lighthouse, it has become one of the most prosperous cities in Ishtar.

This place is different from Southern City. In addition to fourth-tier mages, there are also fifth-tier mages guarding it. As for whether there are sixth-tier mages, Celia doesn't know.

"I'd better go to the temple to report first. I hope the temple will listen to me."

Celia quickly arrived at the temple and met the temple's head, Bishop Holder, a powerful fifth-tier mage.

Holder clearly knew Celia, and after Celia requested an audience, he quickly came out and invited her into the prayer room.

"Miss Celia, welcome to the Temple of Leites. Please forgive me for only now knowing of your arrival. The city lord will host a banquet for you later, please come along."

Celia blinked and pointed to herself: "Hosting a banquet? Me?"

Did you hear me wrong?

Holder nodded with a smile: "Of course, we know about your contributions to the Golden Apple Stone Forest, and so does Duke Pharos, the city lord of Leites City. He just learned from the guards at the lighthouse that a young female sorceress had dealt with a sea monster and saved many civilians. From the projection of the guards' records, we know that it was you, so he hopes that I can invite you to come and visit."

Celia wasn't very interested in attending banquets or anything like that, and shook her head, saying, "I think I'd better skip it. I'm not interested in pretense and I don't like crowded places."

In fact, it didn't matter to Celia whether there were many people or not. She just hated being insincere with people and didn't like hearing flattery from others.

Celia said, "I came here to tell Bishop Holder something. That sea monster is not a near-shore sea monster, but comes from the deep sea. It was attracted by something I don't know. I hope you can inform the city lord and ask them to pay attention to the situation of the ocean."

Holder's expression turned serious: "I see. When I received the news, I was wondering why a sea monster would appear. The ocean within a 300-kilometer radius of Leites City has been cleaned up and patrolled daily to eliminate all threatening monsters. There shouldn't be such a monster here."

As he spoke, he seemed to ponder, "Could it be related to the Deep Sea Aid Society that Archbishop Melina is cracking down on?"

Celia shook her head: "I don't know. They're both from the 'Deep Sea,' so maybe they're related. Perhaps they're 'external aid' called in by the Deep Sea Mutual Aid Association."

Holder nodded: "Okay, I'll keep that in mind, but are you really not going? It's not all strangers there, there are people you know."

Celia was slightly taken aback: "Someone I know? Who?"

Holder smiled mysteriously: "The Duke told me not to say that your friend knew there was a banquet for you, so he came back specially to dress up."

A question mark appeared above Celia's head: "Male or female?"

I don't know many people. This is my first time in Leicester City, how could I possibly know anyone here?

If it's a man...

Celia felt she could stop thinking about it. Apart from her school tutor and the bishop of the Holy See, she rarely knew any male friends. Her classmates at school were just nodding acquaintances, and there were few entanglements. After all, most people still had their pride and didn't force themselves on her like Mir did.

“Female friends, of course,” Holder laughed.

Celia went through the list of people she knew in her mind, "Is it Elena?"

“Elena?” Holder paused slightly, “That name sounds familiar.”

"The elf girl who won the Mage League."

"No."

"Pamisa?"

"I don't think so."

"...Never mind then, I'm not interested in knowing who it is. If it's my friend, let her invite me."

Celia disliked the Riddler's mannerisms.

Trying to pique curiosity and create suspense?

Hmph, I'll not grant your wish.

Having made up her mind, Celia said goodbye to Holder and left.

Holder watched Celia's retreating figure and shook his head helplessly.

He took out his bracelet, contacted the city lord, relayed Celia's words, and then said, "I told you, your tricks won't work on Celia."

A helpless voice came from the other end: "It's not what I wanted to do, it's what my dear Phil wanted me to do. She said she wanted to surprise Celia."

"You should do it yourself. Celia doesn't seem interested in the banquet. Maybe you should have Phil come in person."

"Okay, I'll talk to her about it."

Chapter 411 Phil's Birthday?

As Celia was leaving the temple and contemplating whether to return, she suddenly received a call from Phil.

"Celia, are you in Leites City?"
