The Evil God Summoned by the Saintess

Hilia is watching the Holy Master "walk the dog" through the array.

The two heretics who sneaked in from the ocean are now fleeing in a panic.

Their conversation is transmitted into Hilia’s mind through the array.

"These guys are really unreliable! They didn’t even warn us the Holy Master would come!"

"Master, we shouldn’t have come to look at the situation, the corpse on the beach just now seems to be You Jelieya’s body."

"Then why didn’t you mention it?"

"I saw your confident expression, so I didn’t say anything."

"You bastard!"

"..."

Hilia can sense that these two are fleeing at a rapid pace, they seem to be prepared for self-destruction. If the Holy Master forcibly stops them, it will result in mutual destruction on the spot.

Boom!

A dazzling white light flashes, the Holy Master’s magic crosses a great distance and enters the bodies of the two.

The two, risking injury, use this attack to speed up, leaving the city like lightning, disappearing into the distant sea.

Hilia looks at the protective array, nearly depleted of energy, showing a hint of regret.

"If there was some magic power left, stopping them would allow the Holy Master to deal with them."

These two were not discovered by her, but by Rose, she only marked them and then informed the Holy Master.

While the Holy Master was chasing, Phil was also brought back to the Divine Hall by her and Benovia to rest within.

Hilia feels Phil’s frail body, and cannot help but ask Rose: "Lord Rose, is there really no problem?"

Rose nods: "Of course there isn’t a problem, I wouldn’t let her have a problem."

With Phil’s special constitution, Rose is still hoping if she can advance to break her seal in the Abyss ahead of time.

Within the Deep Sea Mutual Aid Association, there must be fragments of Ethel’s divine format.

Once the Holy Court conquers the stronghold, Rose will have Hilia or Phil figure out a way to bring over the divine format fragments, to give them to Phil for use, so she can establish a connection with him as well.

However, speaking of which, Rose is also unsure if fragments of the divine format from the same God can be effective on multiple people; if not, they’ll have to consider something else.

Everything is within Rose’s plan.

Rose said: "Phil is now very weak and needs to recover using that ultra-rare Heart of the Magic Puppet, the one given to Benovia, only using that can Phil quickly recover."

Hilia said: "I’ll ask Benovia if she brought it."

"No need to ask, she didn’t bring it, moreover Benovia’s Heart of the Magic Puppet has already been used, the effect isn’t as good as before, a new one needs to be found."

"Alright."

Hilia has no choice but to nod, wondering in her heart.

Why does Lord Rose understand Benovia so well?

Could it be that she really has drawn Benovia in?

Hilia’s expression is strange, although she doesn’t want to admit it, from the occasional hints seen from Benovia, she thinks Rose might have long since drawn Benovia in.

A bit uncomfortable, but at the same time, it feels a bit exciting.

Hilia can understand her somewhat dark mentality, simply wanting to see a pure Holy Daughter being defiled...

The girl quickly shakes her head, dispelling her strange thoughts.

She stands up, saying to Benovia: "Benovia, you keep an eye on Phil, I’ll go check on my magic puppet."

Benovia curiously asks: "Your magic puppet? What happened to it?"

Hilia lightly: "Nothing, just when fighting the fourth-tier heretic, she accidentally dismantled it, it’s not a big problem, it can still be used with repairs."

"Huh?"

Benovia blinks, suspecting she heard wrong.

Just about to inquire, but saw Hilia has already left.

The girl falls into contemplation.

"As expected of Hilia, easily accomplishing what others cannot."

Arriving outside, Hilia finds her magic puppet, placed in an empty room by the assistant priests of the Divine Hall.

Apart from the spine and the heart of the magic puppet, the rest are completely dismantled.

Hilia goes to check, sighing: "It’s hopeless, looking like this, before fourth-tier, I can only act alone."

After fourth-tier, there are rewards given by the Mage League, a specially customized powerful magic puppet.

Because they are not yet fourth-tier, it hasn’t been fulfilled yet.

Considering whether to randomly assemble it for temporary use, voices come from outside: "Miss Hilia, Mr. Pharos Duke wants to see you."

Hilia collected herself, nodding: "Okay, wait for me, I’ll be right there."

Speaking, Hilia leaves the room, closes the door, and follows the assistant priest to the prayer hall of the Divine Hall.

Here, aside from Mr. Pharos, there are Bishop Helder and other clergy.

Seeing Hilia arrive, Mr. Pharos Duke goes up to thank: "Thank you very much, Miss Hilia, if not for you, I would have fallen into the trap, and wouldn’t be able to handle the Deep Sea Demons’ invasion so easily."

Hilia said: "You’re welcome, Mr. Pharos Duke, I was only doing an insignificant job. Your presence here means the Abyssal Demons have been resolved?"

Mr. Pharos Duke nods: "I dispersed the storm at sea, the number of demons has sharply decreased, no longer a concern, Golden Apple Stone Forest has also brought good news."

Bishop Helder on the side looked strange: "According to Ms Meilina Archbishop, the remaining Deep Sea Demons seemed to be attracted by the pollution of the Golden Apple Stone Forest, all ran in, self-slaughtering with the people of the Deep Sea Mutual Aid Association, many strongholds were destroyed, some Deep Sea Demons even rushed to the Deep Sea Fortress."

Hilia was stunned: "Really? So smart? Could it be they deliberately let the Deep Sea Demons in, to slaughter them and obtain something?"

Helder said: "Not too sure, perhaps it requires Miss Hilia to return and find out."

"Alright, thanks for letting me know."

Rose didn’t inform Hilia of the situation, Hilia also doesn’t know the truth of the Deep Sea Demons invasion.

Mr. Pharos Duke said: "To express gratitude for Miss Hilia’s help, I’ve decided to hold a victory banquet at the castle tomorrow, please..."

"Sorry, Mr. Pharos Duke, I have to return to the Golden Apple Stone Forest tomorrow, to continue the unfinished trial, I might not have time to come."

If it weren’t for Phil’s birthday party before, she wouldn’t even participate in the previous banquet.

Mr. Pharos Duke laughs: "The trial only takes place during the day, you can attend the banquet at night."

Hilia vaguely replied: "We’ll see then, maybe I can’t make it, sorry."

"Alright then." Mr. Pharos Duke didn’t insist, he asked: "Where is Phil now, how is she doing?"

Hilia said: "Her condition is stable, just a bit weak, needing some time to recuperate."

Mr. Pharos Duke said: "That’s good, please, Miss Hilia, take us to see her."

"Okay, follow me."
