Having long been prepared to summon the puppet, Celia experienced instant summoning for the first time.
The puppet quickly condensed, then raised its hand to create an ice wall in front of it, blocking the opponent's attack.
Celia calmed herself down and pondered how to defeat the High Priest.
"The High Priest's battle strategy is completely different from that of the Lord. The Lord's weakness is his clumsiness, which is fatal, but the High Priest does not have this weakness."
“His Holy Word technique is very well-practiced, which can give him great magic immunity and holy attack bonus. We can’t go head-to-head with him.”
"The combination of Crystal Arrow and Shatter Ice is not very effective against his puppet; it can only be used to catch him off guard."
"We can try using the Mage's Hand to activate the Puppet's second-tier combo skill."
Celia already had an idea in mind.
This time, Ross didn't offer her any guidance. He nodded, sensing what she was saying in her heart.
The girl finally realized the wonder of the mage's hand.
This skill was once almost exclusively a player-exclusive skill, like Watch Dogs' Intrusion or Assassin's Creed's Eagle Eye. As a support skill, it could be used in conjunction with any spell, making it incredibly overpowered.
Celia learned the combination of Crystal Arrow and Shatter Ice, a skill she acquired through her own talent.
The puppet, on the other hand, used a different set of skills.
Stagnant Water, Frost Freeze, Thunderous Fury, Shatter Ice.
Frost Condensation is a spell that rapidly freezes water vapor. It can be used in conjunction with Stagnant Water to quickly freeze enemies trapped in Stagnant Water.
Lightning Fury was a spell that Celia learned at Ross's suggestion. This spell is about as powerful against the human body as a first-tier Lightning Strike, but it has a special effect against metal.
It can penetrate metal, causing damage inside, and is even more powerful against frozen targets.
The core of this combo is to invade and freeze the target with Lightning Fury, destroy the target's interior, and finally shatter it with Shatter Ice.
Most people would easily think of the combination of Freeze and Lightning Fury, but I've never seen Lightning Fury followed by Shatter Ice by Celia.
After searching out of curiosity, she found that many sorcerers said that the Ice Shatter spell was not very useful and could only be used to bully weaker players.
Thinking about it carefully, this skill is indeed quite difficult to shatter the target...
"Luckily, I have the Mage's Hand!"
boom!
The high priest's puppet shattered the ice wall, and his longsword, radiating a holy light, slashed down at Celia's puppet as if judging heretics.
"Holy Word spells don't work on me."
Celia smiled slightly, dodged slightly, ignored the descending Holy Word Blade, and directly activated Slowing Water, enveloping the High Priest's puppet in water vapor.
"freeze!"
As the High Priestess's puppet was frozen, the light blade had already reached Celia's puppet.
However, a faint white light rose from her puppet body. It was very weak, but the light blades dissolved quickly as if they had encountered their nemesis.
The Saintess's exclusive Divine Immunity is a unique ability possessed only by the Saintess. It can reduce the power of most Holy spells and directly grant immunity to damage caused by Holy Word spells.
This is a blessing granted by the current saintess through prayer to the gods, and it will continue until she becomes an official saintess.
If you lose the competition, you will lose this blessing.
This is the most direct way to distinguish whether someone is a saint.
Upon seeing that Celia was immune to the Holy Word spell, the High Priest became flustered.
But then his gaze turned even more ferocious.
"You forced me to do this!"
The wrath of lightning descended from the sky, piercing through his puppet, but his puppet remained unharmed.
The holy-level aura emanating from his body had vanished, replaced by a blood-red glow.
This beam of light directly broke the frozen state on the puppet.
Celia's eyes widened: "A heretical god's blessing?"
"That's right, this is the Death Perception Blessing of the Deep Sea Apostle Rost, which can raise my strength to the fourth level."
In the high priest's eyes, the pupils rapidly split, and then each eye split into six pupils, which was extremely eerie.
"Now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to kill you quickly."
Celia felt a chill run down her spine.
Wait, why is the ultimate ability used at the start?
Feeling the increasingly intense pressure, just as Celia was about to ask Ross for help, a cold snort came from outside.
"Hmph, a high priest of the temple, how dare you practice heretical magic! You have betrayed the gods! Accept your judgment!"
Finally, I can go to sleep!
Chapter 121 Definitely next time
The high priest's blessing of death immediately failed to work and was suppressed by the suddenly appearing judge priest.
Developing gangs, selling illegal drugs, cultivating illegal herbs, and learning heretical magic are suspected of involving cults...
With all the buffs combined, not only was Celia's expression quite interesting, but even Vasily's was quite a sight to behold.
Celia, who had expected a fierce battle, breathed a sigh of relief. After Vasily suppressed the high priest, she waved to him and said, "Good afternoon, Grandpa Vasily."
"Chilya, well done!" Vasily stroked his beard and laughed heartily.
However, he was somewhat puzzled.
In less than six months, Celia went to three places and brought down the high priests of those three places.
Isn't this efficiency a bit too high?
Even the law enforcement agencies responsible for this kind of thing haven't gone this far.
Vasily decided that once he returned, he would put pressure on the Court of Judiciary and the Knights of the Order of the Discipline, asking them why they hadn't found many clergy members violating the rules after patrolling for so long, so as not to give the Court of Judiciary a laughing stock.
“This criminal is far more serious than the previous two. With so many pearls and rosemary, the death penalty is too lenient for him.”
As he spoke, he looked at Winter beside him and sized him up.
Winter immediately said, "Hello, Holy Court's Judgement Priest, I am Winter, the lord of Frosttown. I heard that Miss Celia reported that there is a pearl rosemary plantation here, so I came to take a look and assist Miss Celia."
Seeing the High Priest defeated so quickly, Winter was very glad that he had spoken in favor of Celia.
Since Celia didn't mention that he was an accomplice, he was spared from being easily captured by Vasily.
Celia glanced at Winter thoughtfully, sensing that he wasn't entirely innocent either.
However, the current evidence points directly to the High Priest and has little to do with Winter.
The other party was very cautious and did not leave any leverage with the high priest—after all, the two were more competitors than partners.
After thinking it over, Celia decided not to ask Vasily to arrest and interrogate him.
At least he let him show off yesterday, and even broke his heavy armor greatsword, which was his bread and butter.
Fine, I'll let it go for now, considering he's sensible.
Celia said meaningfully, "That high priest is despicable, Lord Winter. I know you were previously limited by his strength and power, so you dared not speak out against him. But now that he has been arrested, you don't have to worry about illegal activities preventing you from taking action. Remember to crack down on illegal and criminal activities after we leave."
Winter nodded repeatedly, "Definitely, definitely!"
I certainly won't do it next time.
The Discipline Knights have sealed off the entire plantation and are dealing with the illegal plants and slaves inside. Meanwhile, Celia and Winter have left with Vasily and arrived at the temple, where they watch Vasily directing the Discipline Knights to order the deacons and knights to fetch the High Priest's belongings.
"This place is quite far from Shining City and is under the jurisdiction of Northern City. Logically speaking, we shouldn't be crossing the border to make the arrest. It's only because this priest is selling Bewitching Water and Pearl Rosemary that we can act first and report later."
Vasily paused, then turned to look at Celia: "Celia, tell me, how did you manage to come all the way from Ember City to such a remote place?"
Celia said, "I came with my friend. Her family lives here, but her parents were killed by the gang controlled by the High Priest. As her friend, I have to avenge her! So I collected evidence of the High Priest's crimes and asked you to come and deal with him!"
Vasily nodded, then suddenly said, "This priest has a gang called the Sun Society under his command. They handle all sorts of shady business for the priest and sell bewitching potions. I heard that their leaders all died last night, did you know that?"
Celia nodded. "I know. I'm very grateful to that mystic who helped me. Without him, I wouldn't have been able to find the plantation today."
Vasily gave a half-smile: "Oh? What's your relationship with him?"
“Not familiar with him,” Celia said decisively.
Vasily remained noncommittal, watching everyone busy for a moment before saying, "Chilya, as a saintess, you should refrain from killing. Killing will stain your soul red and cause you to lose your saintess status."
“Yes, I will keep it in mind.” Celia nodded earnestly.
"I'll try my best not to kill in the future. If I really have to kill, I'll do it through someone else," Celia thought to herself.
The essential qualities of a saintess are kindness, purity, approachability, talent, and divine affinity; none can be lacking.
Purity is the hardest thing to maintain; it can be contaminated if you're not careful.
"Okay, just remember that. I'll take full responsibility here. You can go about your business or wait for us to go back together."
"No, I have other things to do."
Helia bid farewell to Vasily and began her journey back.
She couldn't be bothered to wait for Vasily and his men to finish their business.
Just organizing evidence, reviewing materials, and making arrangements for the aftermath are not things that can be done in a short time.
When we arrived, Benovia gave it away; on the way back…
Celia grabbed her beloved flying broom, opened the map on her bracelet, confirmed the direction, and charged off.
"At my speed, I only need to travel day and night for two days to return to the Ashes... Waaaaaah, no!!!"
The girl's confident voice ended with a scream.
Ross couldn't stand her slow flight speed, so he gave her a super nitro boost.
"Dawdling around is a waste of time. Instead of traveling at such a leisurely pace, you might as well go back and meditate for a couple more days."
……
As evening fell, outside the City of Embers, Celia, her legs trembling, leaned against a large tree and looked at the brightly lit city before her. Only then did a sliver of color return to her pale face.
"Come back to life."
She even stumbles over her words.
Ross's forced acceleration of the aircraft was no different from riding a roller coaster.
Can you imagine what it feels like to ride a roller coaster for four or five hours?!
The girl screamed in her heart, but Ross said irritably, "Roller coasters need to flip up, down, left, and right. I went straight the whole way with few turns and no fancy flying. Roller coaster my foot."
Celia said, feeling wronged, "I... I really felt like I was on a roller coaster! There was nothing I could do. Even after riding it so many times, I still couldn't get used to that speed..."
"It's alright, you'll get used to it a few more times."
As he spoke, Ross prepared to put Celia back into the air.
Celia's face turned pale: "No, please, Lord Ross, stop flying! If we fly any further, we'll be in the no-fly zone, and we'll be shot down."
"Don't worry, I've played too many flight racing games, my skills are fine, I guarantee I won't let you shoot me down."
Using mental power to propel Celia into flight is no different from playing a game; you can control it from a third-person perspective and dodge freely, except the control method changes from keyboard and mouse to free movement.
"No, no, no! If I get caught, I'll lose my saintess status."
"It's not that strict."
"I'll be fined. I absolutely cannot do anything that asks for my gold coins!"
"..."
Fine.
Chapter 122 Noble, You Win
The events in Frosttown did not cause much of a stir at the school.
Although the news of cracking down on a pearl rosemary plantation and the priests of a temple is absolutely sensational.
