Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint

Dorland looked at the still-breathing Yarman and asked in confusion, "That's strange. Wasn't the Yarman kid supposed to be Phil's friend? How come he was killed as soon as he went up there?"

Benovia was taken aback: "Is it that Baker? Phil doesn't know him well, they've barely exchanged a few words."

Upon hearing this, Yarman died "at ease".

Chapter 426 Little Sun Celia

"Duke Pharos abandoned the extermination of the deep-sea monster and ran back?"

As she arrived at the shore, Celia watched the departing group of people. After learning about Duke Pharos's movements from Holder, she couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Holder said, "It seems there's something wrong with his daughter. I've already notified Archbishop Black and Archbishop Melina."

As he spoke, Holder gave a wry smile: "However, neither Archbishop Black nor Archbishop Melina responded. They may also be facing some serious problems."

Celia had no idea what had happened at the Golden Apple Stone Forest.

Just as he was about to speak, Doris's voice came from the side: "Many deep-sea monsters have also appeared over there, and it seems there are even high-level monsters. Principal Black and Archbishop Melina are leading the Knights of Law against the enemy."

Celia looked over and exclaimed in surprise, "Doris, you really came here?"

Doris said dejectedly, "I searched there for a long time but didn't find any clues. When I heard the alarm, I came over—I had to do something, there's nothing I can do to help except fight."

Ross laughed and said, "Doris isn't very good at PVP, but she's very good at PVE monster hunting."

Celia didn't know what PVP and PVE meant, so she chose to ignore it, saying, "She's quite good at fighting monsters."

Celia asked, "How did you know about the Golden Apple Stone Forest?"

Doris said, "It was said by that classmate named Leica. I checked with the other classmates, and he was right."

Celia suddenly realized.

She didn't have any contact information with the other classmates; there was only one classmate she knew, namely Sharon.

But she had no contact with Charlene via asterisk, and neither her mentor Elena nor Principal Black responded, leaving her completely unsure who to ask.

Luckily, Doris seems to know many of her classmates, which saves her the time of going back to visit them.

Holder said, "I see. No wonder there's been no response until now. The situation over there might be even worse than here. Fortunately, it's all barren mountains, uninhabited. Until they resolve it, it seems we can only rely on ourselves."

He looked at Celia, "Miss Celia, are you here to help us too?"

Celia nodded.

Ross only told her to come to the shore, without specifying what the solution would be.

The coastline was devoid of anything but endless monsters, a lighthouse with its top removed, and a bunch of sorcerers.

Celia didn't know the answer.

She looked at Doris and fell into deep thought.

Could Doris be the answer?

In short, let's help deal with these monsters before Ross delivers the divine message.

Celia looked at Doris and said, "Doris, these monsters from the deep sea are all heavily polluted. Their power source is even purer than that of heretics, consisting entirely of pollution. How about we split up, each of us standing on one side, using purification spells to assist everyone?"

Doris nodded: "Okay, although I've never been a support before, I can give it a try."

Celia nodded and told Doris to go north while she went south.

To the south is the vicinity of the lighthouse.

The magic circle inside the lighthouse was not interrupted by the roof being torn off; some remnants remain, which can provide her with some magic power.

Soon, two dazzling beams of purification light appeared, one in the south and one in the north, like two small suns illuminating the dim sky.

Wherever the light touched, countless deep-sea monsters that had rushed to the shore showed expressions of pain and struggled incessantly.

Seeing this, the morale of the sorcerers who were fighting hard against them soared.

Holder smiled, but then his expression turned serious.

"When Duke Pharos left just now, he said that there might be a sixth-tier monster hidden among these deep-sea monsters, or at the very least a fifth-tier monster, so we must be careful."

He took a deep breath and looked at a figure that had run out to sea and was wreaking havoc.

That was Duke Pharos's steward, who had served Duke Pharos for many years and, with Duke Pharos's help, had successfully advanced to the fifth rank of mage.

After Duke Pharos left, he became the main force in the annihilation.

……

city ​​centre.

Duke Pharos arrived near Phil ahead of the others.

He recognized his daughter at a glance, and his eyes widened in fury.

"Phil!"

Just as he was about to rush over, a strong sense of crisis came over him, and he immediately stopped.

A sword light flashed past him and shot into the sky.

Duke Pharos's expression changed as he looked toward where the sword light had appeared.

A person dressed in a black robe flew up from below.

“Lord Pharos, it’s been a long time. I still remember clearly the last time you disrupted our Twilight Cult’s ritual.”

Pharos looked at the other person and said, word by word, "Twilight Cult Death Servant, Yu Jeria."

Yu Jeria chuckled wickedly: "It seems Lord Pharos hasn't forgotten me after all. That makes things easier. Come on, didn't you want to kill me? Go ahead."

Duke Pharos did not hesitate to take out a blood-red crystal.

The crystal emitted a strong red light.

The entire city of Leites seemed to come alive, with light appearing everywhere.

The magic circle enveloping the entire city of Leites slowly began to activate.

Yu Jeria sneered, "A magic array? Heh, the magic arrays in Leites City have been infiltrated countless times by those guys from the Deep Sea. Outdated magic arrays, how dare you even show them off."

Duke Pharos refused to speak and launched a beam of light at Yu Jeria using a city-wide magic array.

He then charged toward Phil.

Yu Jeria easily dodged the light of the magic circle, and with a swift motion of his sword, unleashed a magical sword light that slashed towards Duke Pharos.

"There's an enemy of equal rank right next to you, and you still want to do other things? Heh, old man, if you continue, I'll destroy your entire city."

He looked at Duke Pharos with a sneer and pointed to the magic circle of light not far away.

Duke Pharos looked over and saw that the magic circle there was flashing, as if there was a problem with the connection.

The same applies to magic circles in other places.

"Your magic circle has been infiltrated by those guys from the deep sea and is no longer a threat to me. Come on, I have no intention of destroying your city. I just want you to watch the fireworks with me, the fireworks brought by the deep sea."

As he spoke, Yu Jeria looked at Phil.

Duke Pharos was stopped, but the others were not.

They are working together to stop Phil.

However, apart from one fourth-tier enemy, the others were all third-tier, making it impossible to stop them.

Phil was wreaking havoc, his eyes bloodshot. Every now and then, people would run out of the demolished houses, glance at Phil, and then run away without looking back.

"These cowardly fools," Duke Pharos said, somewhat annoyed.

Some of the nobles who fled were fourth-rank, but they didn't hesitate at all and just ran away, having no intention of participating in the battle.

They had already foreseen Yarman's tragic state, but they didn't want their own hearts to be crushed.

Duke Pharos ordered his resisting men to return.

He looked coldly at Yu Jeria, a red light slowly appearing in his eyes. "Fine, fine, fine, since you're here, then stay."

Yu Jeria's heart skipped a beat; he immediately sensed something was wrong and made a hasty retreat.

"I have no interest in fighting you to the death."

Chapter 427 Is Ross the mastermind behind it all?

"Lord Ross, is the answer these deep-sea monsters?"

After basking in the sun on the shore for a while, Celia couldn't help but ask Ross.

Ross smiled slightly, did not answer, but said, "Take another look."

After carefully examining the area, Celia suddenly sensed fluctuations from a magic circle behind her.

Looking back, they discovered that the magic circle of Leites City had been activated.

"Duke Pharos has encountered a formidable enemy?"

Celia muttered something to herself, then suddenly paused.

She saw the magic circle covering the entire city of Leites flicker suddenly after a burst of bright light, as if there was a malfunction.

"What happened? Why did this happen to the magic array protecting the city?"

Celia couldn't resist using her mage's hand to touch the spot closest to her.

That is, a lighthouse.

The towering lighthouse, part of the protective magic array, was also shimmering faintly at this moment.

This faint light is not the same magic circle as the one Ross modified.

Although both are located within the lighthouse and are somewhat related, they are not part of the same system.

The city's protective array is usually hidden, so the whole system will not be affected by the loss or damage of a single part.

In a vast city, the magic array cannot cover everything, so it's normal for some parts to be damaged and flicker.

But now, with everything flickering at a glance, Celia immediately realized something was wrong.

Intuition and experience told her that there was something wrong with the magic circle.

The mage's hand transformed into threads, connecting to the runic patterns of the lighthouse.

Celia said in surprise, "The lighthouse is actually one of the core nodes of the magic circle? But it's impossible to go deep inside from the outside."

After thinking for a moment, she sent a message to Doris, entrusting her and her puppet with the important task of purification, while she went inside the lighthouse.

She looked at the lighthouse floor, searched for a moment, and found a hidden door that she opened.

"This should be a room controlled by a magic array."

Celia jumped in, her brows furrowing as she looked at the shimmering runes around her.

"here……"

She suddenly remembered the fourth-order heretic she had killed before.

“She must have been here before.”

Celia went inside and quickly noticed something was wrong.

"Someone came in and added something to the magic circle."

The mage's hand successfully entered the magic circle node, and Celia found the problem.

The high-grade magic crystals that supply magic power to all nodes of the magic array have been tampered with, and the energy emanating from them is no longer pure, resulting in unstable magic power output and a significant decrease in efficiency.

Celia took it out, used a carving knife to scrape off the runes on the surface of the magic crystal, and then put it back.

The magic circle is finally working properly.

Celia couldn't help but complain, "Doesn't Duke Pharos care about the maintenance and security of the magic array? He didn't even know someone had entered the maintenance room."

Ross glanced at it and shook his head: "An old magic array. How can there still be such a magic array that can be modified at will in this era?"

Celia thought for a moment and said, "According to the brief history of magic arrays, a hundred years ago there was a type of open magic array that was very popular. After a model of this magic array was made, various modules could be added at will to make the magic array's functions more diverse. The protective magic array of Leites City should be this type."

Ross remained noncommittal. "Perhaps."

"Let me check if the other parts of the magic circle are like this too."
