The Evil God Summoned by the Saintess

It is well known that the combat strength of mages in this era mostly comes from magical puppets.

Mages without magical puppets are akin to toothless tigers.

However, even a toothless tiger, when compared to a cat, is still a tiger.

Of course, that is just an ordinary Tier Three Mage.

Hilia, having twice ventured into the deep divine realm and received teachings and blessings from the gods, is at least comparable to a young tiger, although not an adult one, she still possesses a certain level of threat.

Especially now, Camila, being the tiger, exposes her neck beneath Hilia’s teeth.

This kind of complacency, Hilia naturally would not overlook.

The ice balls constructed by the Ice Rain Skill are just the beginning.

After she was carelessly blasted away, the magical puppet rushed towards Camila holding the Ten Thousand Lights Sword, its glimmer of Purification Skill stabbing towards Camila, not allowing her a moment to breathe.

The danger emanating from the Ten Thousand Lights Sword prevented Camila from summoning her magical puppet; she could only hastily employ magic to respond.

The glimmer of Purification Skill on the sword naturally weakened her magic by thirty percent.

There was another thing that caught her off guard.

The strength of the Ten Thousand Lights Sword.

She thought it was just an ordinary sword, at most a bit flashy. Who would have known, with enchantment added, it could even break Tier Four spells—even if used hastily and weakened by Purification Skill, still Tier Four nonetheless!

The pace of battle was completely under Hilia’s control.

She pulled out scrolls and tore them open, magic spells of various types like a storm, coupled with the magical puppet crashing onto Camila.

Meanwhile, an ice bow manifested in Hilia’s hand.

"If the Ice Rain Skill can combine with the Fire of the Singularity to create ice balls, causing chain reactions to increase power, then can it also affect the Crystal Arrow?"

This was an idea Hilia had pondered a long time ago.

The Crystal Arrow possessed very high magic strength, far surpassing the Ice Rain Skill.

But the Crystal Arrow is singular, unlike the Ice Rain Skill which is composed of countless ’hailstones’.

The Fire of the Singularity can only act upon the Crystal Arrow once.

Then Hilia changed her thinking.

"What if combining the Ice Rain Skill with the Fire of the Singularity, then condensing it into a Crystal Arrow?"

Under the control of the Mage’s Hand, this was feasible, but Hilia hadn’t tested it in combat yet.

Now is the perfect opportunity to test the strength of the Crystal Arrow combination skill.

Before condensing the Crystal Arrow, Hilia first took out numerous scrolls, using the Mage’s Hand to control them, repeatedly bombarding Camila.

Afterward, she successively summoned several Ice Rain Skills.

The Fire of the Singularity merged into the cloud layer of the Ice Rain Skill, fusing with the ice rain in the cloud, and then fell into the ice bow, condensing on the bowstring, slowly gathering into the form of a Crystal Arrow.

Using ice rain this way not only gains the enhancement of the ice rain but also the magic strength boost of the Crystal Arrow, making it even more powerful.

Furthermore, condensing into a Crystal Arrow allows her easier control, more solidified, unlike scattered ice balls.

The Crystal Arrow gradually enlarged, magic power also rapidly depleted.

At this moment, Hilia suddenly felt the lighthouse glowing, streams of potent magic power entering her body.

Hilia was slightly stunned, instantly realizing that it was Rose’s modified array taking effect.

"So Lord Rose modified the array into one for accelerating magic power gathering?"

The girl thought, feeling very pleased.

"With these magic supplements, my attack’s power is greatly enhanced, sure to defeat the opponent!"

Magic power rapidly released.

Moments later, an anomaly appeared on the other side.

From the corner of the heavily bombarded wall, Camila suddenly erupted a terrifying magical storm.

This storm directly blasted the magical puppet away, scattering the various incoming spells.

Even the ceiling of the lighthouse was lifted by this terrifying magical storm, exposing the starry sky to them both.

She no longer intended to hide.

"You’ve forced my hand. Before the Duke finds out, I can completely peel off your face and become you."

A chilling voice reached Hilia’s ears, as Camila charged with the magical storm.

"Almost there."

Hilia muttered to herself, releasing the bowstring.

Buzz!

The Crystal Arrow, thicker than a thigh, shot out like lightning towards Camila.

Boom!

A horrific explosion, carrying an intense magical storm, fiercely expanded around.

Under this storm, even Hilia, who had protection from the Ice Shield Combination Skill from afar, was blasted away, the ice shield shattering.

The magical storm formed a dense mist of ice and fire, covering the explosion point, obscuring visibility.

Meanwhile, outside, many guards and mages had already appeared, preparing to fend off formidable enemies from the sea.

The lighthouse explosion drew their gazes upward, only to see the intact lighthouse with its ceiling blown off, creating a long arc, right on a deep-sea demon, stirring a monstrous wave, sinking with the deep-sea demon.

They exchanged bewildered glances.

Boom!

Another explosion echoed, sensing the terrifying fluctuations from above, many mages’ faces changed, immediately boarding flying devices to soar up and determine what was happening.

"Immediately inform Mr. Pharos!"

Simultaneously, Hilia was also tensely watching the explosion site.

The violent explosion had opened a huge hole there, the top layer of the lighthouse trembling on the brink of collapse.

After a moment of silence, Camila charged out from the smoke, her eyes red, carrying a frenzy of polluted waves.

Like other heretics, when her emotions became extremely agitated, the demonic qi pollution affected her mind, leaving her incapable of rational thought, obsessed with killing Hilia.

She even forgot to summon her magical puppet, simply charging headlong.

Hilia took a deep breath, feeling a bit of toothache.

"Tier Four is really hard to kill."

Luckily, this wasn’t a rational Tier Four, but a frenzied heretic.

Otherwise, she could only rely on the gods.

Without summoning a magical puppet or releasing spells, just charging directly, if Hilia couldn’t end the battle, she might as well end herself.

The girl raised her magic staff, letting the holy light of Purification Skill surface, draining the remaining magic power.

The light of Purification Skill was conspicuous in the night, immediately noticed by the mages flying up.

Through the light of Purification Skill, they could see the situation.

As Camila rushed towards Hilia, the magical puppet that had been knocked aside quickly advanced, blocking her path.

Camila, eyes red, shouted loudly, "Get out of the way!"

The weakened contaminated energy struck the magical puppet, blowing it away.

Surprise flickered across Camila’s face.

Because, as the magical puppet flew away, Hilia was revealed behind it.

Hilia gripped the Ten Thousand Lights Sword, swiftly piercing through the demonic qi pollution, stabbing the sword ruthlessly into Camila’s heart while she was still in the aftermath stiffness of her spell.

"Purify!"

Hilia softly exclaimed, the Purification Skill attached to the Ten Thousand Lights Sword, under the guidance of the Mage’s Hand, instantly swept over Camila’s entire body, churning the pollution in her into mush.

The light in Camila’s eyes gradually dimmed.

She fell slowly, filled with wrath, astonishment, and a tinge of bewilderment.

Hilia collapsed along with her.

Exhausted of magic power, she sat heavily on the ground, gasping for breath.

"Suc...succeeded!"
