Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint

Until——

boom!

The sword energy, imbued with gray mist and demonic light, slammed into the magic array on the wall, creating ripples.

Celia lured him to the wall, enticing him to attack the wall and the magic circle.

"The strength of this wall formation is not high. It will be broken in no time under the full force of a fourth-level mage. Let the people of Dragon Island break the formation and see what they have to say."

Celia thought to herself.

She didn't know whether the sudden doubling of the price of volcanic rock was intentional on the part of this heretic or authorized by the Blue Dragon Empire.

But they are all the same in front of her.

It's all the Dragon Knight Legion's fault for making things difficult for everyone.

There's nothing wrong with charging money; after all, Dragon Island Volcano belongs to them. If they go in to collect resources and want to take them away, they'll definitely have to pay a price.

But if the cost is higher than buying directly, then it's extortion.

Confiscating items without paying in gold coins is tantamount to robbery.

If it was the work of heretics, to incite conflict in conjunction with the poison on the volcano and recreate the scene from a hundred years ago, then it would be Dragon Island that would cause trouble for the Tower of Depths, and it would have nothing to do with Celia.

If Dragon Island tacitly approves of this, then it has even less to do with Celia.

Celia did not massacre the Dragon Riders, nor did she attack Dragon Island. She even helped Dragon Island uncover the heretical spy, and the magic circle was destroyed by the heretics.

If the people inside manage to escape, then it was opened by heretics. Go tell the Tower of the Fallen!

Unless everyone on Dragon Island is from the Tower of Depths, Celia doesn't know how she could lose.

There is now a consensus across the entire continent to eradicate heretics, and what the Tower of Depravity is doing is no different from what the Deep Sea Alliance and the Arctic Blood Alliance did in the past—they are all causing trouble in other people's capitals.

What? You're indifferent to the heretics causing trouble in your home, and you even want to make things difficult for the righteous sorcerer who tries to stop them?

The Imperial Allied Forces are coming right away, eager to help you solve your problems!

Celia was frantically setting flags in her mind.

Boom boom boom——!

Sword energies slammed into the magic array on the wall, and the ripples of the array spread rapidly, slowly extending into the distance.

With the loss of reason, the Dragon Knight Captain has lost his judgment. The only thing restraining his desire to attack is his obsession with killing Celia.

Kill kill kill!

Celia leaped left and right along the wall, dodging the chaotic sword attacks.

Occasionally, the puppet would get close, and she would rush to the other side of the wall.

The magic array binds the walls together, making them indestructible until the array is destroyed.

The magic circle is not a single entity; it has several nodes. This is to prevent a sudden attack from exceeding the limit of the magic circle's tolerance and causing the entire magic circle to break.

The main purpose of this magic circle is not to block passage and collect protection fees, but to block volcanic ash and prevent volcanic eruptions from harming Dragon Island.

With the roar of sword energy, the contaminated sword blades struck the magic array, causing the ripples of the array to gradually expand and begin to flicker.

With the dragon rider captain going completely berserk, finally, with a sound like shattering glass, the magic circle here could no longer withstand the attack and shattered, revealing a huge hole.

The sword energy remained undiminished, slamming violently into the wall and smashing a section of it to pieces.

Celia smiled slightly, turned around and ran towards another node.

Behind them came the dragon rider captain and the puppet, charging in close behind.

At this moment, everyone was stunned.

"The wall is breached, everyone run!"

Someone shouted, and everyone snapped out of their daze. They immediately saw an opportunity to leave and used their own escape methods to file out through the gaps in the wall and the magic array.

The dragon riders could only guard the gate; there weren't enough men to block the entire gap. In the end, they only managed to stop a few unlucky souls, while the rest could only helplessly watch them leave.

That shout of "Run!" came from Anke.

She adjusted her glasses and saw that Celia was able to easily outmaneuver the irrational fourth-order heretic by herself. After thinking for a moment, she decided to follow her to help Celia deal with any unexpected situations.

"The Dragon Rider Legion and Dragon Island couldn't possibly be unaware of the situation here; they should be making their move soon."

Compared to the few things a low-level mage might find inside the Dragon Island volcano, the damage caused by the destruction of the magic circle was far greater.

If they stand idly by, the volcanic ash that blankets the entire sky and darkens the earth, leaving it only illuminated by volcanic lava and the light of magic arrays, will teach Dragon Island a lesson.

Sure enough, just as Anke passed by, a large number of vines suddenly rose from the ground, attempting to trap Celia and the Dragon Rider Captain.

As if she had known all along, Celia suddenly accelerated, using Swiftness and Lightness spells to escape the vine area, leaving only the Dragon Knight Captain and the puppet captured.

The dragon rider captain and the puppet brandished their longswords. The ice enchantment had completely disappeared, replaced by a demonic contamination enchantment, turning everything pitch black as they severed the vines in half.

However, more vines sprouted out, binding him and the puppet tightly.

A voice came: "Oh? You were able to detect my spell? Interesting."

Anke looked up and saw a sorcerer holding a staff descending from the sky and slowly landing on the ground.

He didn't look at the dragon rider captain and the puppet who were struggling with the vines, but instead looked at Celia with great interest.

"This doesn't seem like your usual self. Such a strong disguise makes me a little curious about your identity."

He paused for a moment, then added, "I almost forgot to introduce myself. I am Talos, a disciple of Erina, and the commander of the Third Regiment of the Dragon Riders."

Celia performed the Ishtar greeting. "Hello, Lord Talos. My name is Celia. I am an ordinary student at the Holy Magic Academy and am currently traveling on Dragon Island. It is a pleasure to speak with you."

Hmm? Celia?

Chapter 491 Unable to Refute

“Celia?” Talos frowned, pondering for a moment. “That name sounds familiar.”

Celia regained her original appearance.

Talos was a fifth-tier mage, and he could see through Celia's disguise. Celia thought about it for a moment and decided that there was no need to hide it under the circumstances, so she openly revealed it.

It's useless even if you don't show it.

Talos may not be able to see his own face immediately, but he can easily see through Anko's disguise.

Even without an encore, he could sense that he might be lying.

Celia doesn't have the strength to deal with a fifth-tier opponent.

However, that's not the main reason. The main reason she's so open about her trump card is, of course, Rose!

If she can't beat him, surely Lord Ross can?!

Even if Rose plays in place, he still can't beat them. Does that mean he can't run away?

what?

Encore?

Ah... this is a bit difficult. We can only let her suffer for a while.

Anke suddenly felt a chill down her back.

"So it's you, the champion of the Sorcerer League, the Holy Court's prospective saintess, Celia."

Talos abandoned his casual demeanor, his mind flashing through the various deeds Celia had committed, and became serious.

He didn't care about Celia's strength; the difference between the third and fifth tiers was something even a god couldn't overcome.

But given Celia's identity and the many things she has done, he cannot afford to be careless.

She participated in numerous heretical operations, destroying countless heretical strongholds. In Koster City, she resolved the Abyss Gate summoned by the Polar Blood Alliance, severely injuring a fourth-tier mage with a single blow. Later, she also participated in the annihilation war in the Deep Sea, where her scrolls played a crucial role, directly turning the Deep Sea Aid Society from an invincible group of twelve heretics into a weakling.

Although the Deep Sea Aid Society, after excluding its powerful array deployment capabilities, ranks last among the twelve heretics in overall strength, it is still a behemoth that has lived for hundreds of years.

Whether it was the Holy Court or other empires, they all felt that the Deep Sea Aid Society's annihilation campaign would take a long time because the chaos and pollution of the Golden Apple Stone Forest was troublesome.

As a result, Celia immediately developed a scroll that could isolate pollution and also revealed a purification technique specifically for heretics.

These are things that Talos cannot afford to ignore.

Although the Holy Court publicly stated that Celia provided the inspiration for Shuen's final creation, the Dragon Riders had their own intelligence channels, and Talos, as Erina's disciple, was naturally well aware of these matters.

All signs indicate that Celia is an extraordinary genius sorcerer.

A hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

The Holy Court and the four great empires have always been at odds. It is almost a certainty that Celia will become the future Holy Maiden, which means that Celia is a major enemy in the future.

Right now, the formidable enemy has not yet grown up and is very vulnerable in front of me. With just a thought, I can control her life and death.

Even if it means incurring the wrath of the Holy Court afterward, it's worth it to stifle the enemy's genius.

So, Talos was tempted and hesitated whether to kill Celia here.

His face changed inscrutablely, and after a moment, he shook his head and gave up the idea.

Such a powerful and talented sorcerer, why didn't the Holy Court send anyone to protect him?

Talos thought it was impossible.

There might be a sixth-tier mage secretly observing him; if he makes a move, he'll probably be the first to die.

Only a sixth-tier mage could guarantee a successful resolution.

Even without the protection of a sixth-tier mage, Talos felt that Celia had someone to rely on.

Regardless of the reason, Talos eventually abandoned the idea of ​​killing Celia.

He cared more about something else than that.

"Miss Celia, I didn't know you would suddenly appear on Dragon Island and get involved in the Dragon Island volcano incident, letting all our customers out and letting them take things from Dragon Island for free. What exactly are you trying to do? Are you trying to provoke a war between Ishtar and the Blue Dragon?"

Talos narrowed his eyes, using his overwhelming power to intimidate others.

Celia blinked: "Lord Talos thinks too highly of Celia. I am just an ordinary third-tier mage, a student at a magic academy. I neither serve in the Holy Court nor am I an official of Ishtar. My strength is not enough to start a war. I don't know why you think that way."

“That’s right. However, Miss Celia is the future Holy Maiden of the Holy Court. You secretly let our customers go on Dragon Island, causing Dragon Island to suffer huge losses. What do you suggest we do about it?”

Celia, emboldened, looked at the dragon rider captain who was still cutting down the vines and said, "I recorded the whole thing, so don't try to pin this on me. It was your people who dismantled the wall's magic circle..."

Celia paused for a moment, then said, "Of course, you've figured it out too, haven't you? Those are heretics' spies. I'm helping you find the spies. The Dragon Knights should be thanking me, not blaming me for being heretics."

Celia also sensed Talos's fleeting killing intent, but in the end he didn't make a move, which meant that Dragon Island probably wouldn't take any further action.

The girl relaxed a little.

Even with Ross as a backup, one should still be wary of high-level sorcerers.

Anko approached Celia and immediately displayed the battle between her and the Dragon Knight Captain.

Nothing is more convincing than a projected record.

Talos frowned as he watched.

Celia spread her hands, feigning helplessness, and said, "Lord Talos, as you can see, I originally just wanted to stop the conflict because we discovered many strongholds of the Tower of the Fallen in the volcano. They released emotional poison in the volcanic area, trying to ignite the conflict between mages and dragon riders in the Dragon Island area, causing them to fight to the death. I stopped this riot from happening, but I didn't expect your subordinates to take action directly."

Anke chimed in, "Yes, you saw it too. Not long after the battle began, your subordinate revealed his identity as a heretic. Is Lord Talos still going to make things difficult for us?"

At this moment, because of Talos's arrival, the dragon rider guards mustered their courage and rushed over, standing behind Talos, watching the two of them warily, and waiting for Talos's orders.

There were still quite a few mages around who hadn't run away watching the commotion, including some fourth-tier mages who had been alerted by the commotion below.

Through Celia's explanation and the descriptions of other sorcerers around them, they learned exactly what had happened and immediately looked at Talos and Celia with amusement.

"So, Dragon Riders are a synonym for ingratitude? No way, no way."

"I watched the whole thing, and the leader of the Dragon Knights didn't even think about judging the heretics, but instead wanted to make things difficult for a brave girl who stood up. That's outrageous!"

"No wonder that guy dared to charge so much money, tsk tsk tsk."

"..."

The surrounding chatter made Talos frown.

He glanced at everyone, causing the murmurs to gradually subside.

He looked at Celia and said calmly, "Thank you for your help, Miss Celia. You are honored guests of the Blue Dragon Empire. Please follow me. Dragon Island will not neglect your distinguished guests."
