The Evil God Summoned by the Saintess

"Lord Rose, what about the dangerous incident you mentioned?"

"I was just kidding."

"???"

Inside Letes City, Hilia looked around attentively, trying to find something that could blow the city sky-high, but after searching for a long time, she found nothing.

Unable to resist, she asked Rose, and after getting the answer, the girl’s expression became quite a spectacle.

So Hilia stopped speaking.

Her lips pouted enough to hang a bottle.

While wandering around, she unknowingly arrived under the giant lighthouse again.

By now, it was afternoon, and the weather was pleasant.

Hilia looked at the beach below, a look of longing in her eyes.

Rose’s voice came: "If you want to go, just go. Don’t worry, whatever is meant to happen will happen, it won’t change because you decide not to go."

Hilia was taken aback: "Is there a sea monster out there?"

"I don’t know."

"..."

Rose chuckled: "Don’t doubt yourself. Why think that these bad things happened because you came, and not that you came to resolve these bad things?

"You keep saying it’s all coincidence, and now you’ve started believing it, how does that work? You should think, ’I’m here to solve the difficulties,’ not ’there are difficulties because I’m here.’"

Hilia looked at Rose eagerly: "Lord Rose, what do you think I am?"

Rose chuckled lightly: "Of course, you’re here to solve difficulties as the savior."

Hilia’s smile was like a droplet on a still lake, slowly rippling outward.

The girl’s heart was filled with joy, with no pressure, she quickly arrived at the beach.

She remembered in a dream she had been to the beach once, also with Rose.

And this time, it was the same.

Hilia spread her arms wide, "Ocean, here I come!"

Boom!

A blast echoed from the sea, and a large splash of water soared high, as if welcoming Hilia’s arrival.

Hilia’s smile vanished.

She saw amid the explosion, a vast shark leaping high, crossing an arc, and heading toward the beach.

The girl’s expression turned gloomy.

"At least wait until I play first, you idiot!"

At that time, many ordinary people were playing on the beach, and the sudden explosion and large fish immediately caused panic.

Everyone was running toward the shore.

The mages responsible for beach safety were also running.

They could handle ordinary small sharks and such, but for the giant shark, which looked at least ten meters long, they had no thoughts of resistance.

As for those ordinary people, let them fend for themselves.

Hilia sighed lightly, took out her magic staff, and a ball of ice quickly condensed on the staff, then flew at the giant shark.

That was just the beginning, many ice balls were condensing and were following the first ice ball, flying at the giant shark, crashing into it with explosions.

Under Hilia’s precise control, the giant shark was hit onto an area without people, emitting a heavy thud.

Hilia didn’t look at the giant shark.

Because it had been knocked ashore, it was a weakling.

Despite its large size, besides its body size, it was merely a common demon of first or second tier.

The real danger lay in the sea.

Hilia wielded her magic staff, summoned a magic puppet, and moved against the crowd toward the coastline, staring seriously at the sea.

The demon hadn’t appeared yet, but an invisible pressure had already emerged.

Its initial target had been the giant shark, but when Hilia stood beside the giant shark facing it, filled with overwhelming magic power, its target shifted to Hilia.

Hilia waited a moment, discovering the opponent was still lurking, without any sign of coming out.

"Do I really have to drag you out?"

Hilia glanced back, confirming most people had moved away from the coast, watching her from afar, still frightened.

Someone thought of activating their bracelet’s recording function to capture Hilia’s image but found Hilia enveloped in magic power appeared very vague in the recording.

The magic power’s operation interfered with their recording, as they were ordinary people without magic power to negate the effect, they could only capture blurry images.

In the crowd were mages, whose captured images were clearer.

Hilia didn’t care about the people behind her and confirmed that the sea demon was only lurking and wouldn’t act for a short time, she raised her magic staff, activating powerful ice magic power.

"Since you won’t come out or leave, then I’ll ’invite’ you out."

Subordinate magic of freezing everything, Frost Condensation, initiates!

The Frost Condensation that freezes water wouldn’t achieve the complete freezing that encases everything around it, but where there’s water, its efficiency surpassed freezing everything.

The seawater before Hilia instantly froze, forming frozen waves.

The freezing spread quickly toward the sea demon.

Boom!

Another thunderous sound came. A creature, resembling an octopus tentacle, broke through the frozen surface, reached into the sky, then slammed hard toward Hilia.

Supported by Light Body Technique, Hilia leaped lightly, dodging the tentacle’s strike.

Hilia raised her magic staff, "The ocean was never the domain of sea creatures, rather, it is—Hilia’s domain!"

The tentacle coming at her immediately froze, then—

"Burst!"

Hilia didn’t give the tentacle any chance to escape the freezing, she triggered a blast directly where it was frozen.

A shrill scream echoed from the sea, the tentacle gave off a large spray of blood.

Hilia’s magic puppet seized the chance, the Ten Thousand Lights Sword unleashed Sword Qi formed of an ice blade, harshly severing the tentacle!

The Ice Burst Skill, truly useful.

Now, the hidden sea demon had no choice but to reveal itself.

It revealed its true form—

A... tiger whale with long tentacles?

Its emerging upper body made Hilia pause, very much like a tiger whale.

But when its full form surfaced, Hilia realized, only the top resembled one, the lower part was replaced by numerous tentacles as if a tentacle monster had hollowed out a tiger whale’s body and lived inside it.

"No, it seems that’s exactly what’s going on."

Hilia noticed where the tentacles emerged didn’t fit with the ’tiger whale.’

It was like a tiger whale had its belly hollowed out by larvae, with the larvae being those tentacles, writhing crazily.

Rose’s voice came: "This is an Aquatic Parasitic Beast, not a singular demon, but a collective, each tentacle equivalents to a separate demon. When they join together to devour a creature, their heads collide, merge, and share a common brain while impersonating the devoured creature’s actions, though their impersonation lacks subtlety."

"What tier are they?"

"Each is second tier, combined not certain, depends on the quantity."

"Second tier... that should be fine."

Hilia tightened her grip on the magic staff, staring at the Aquatic Parasitic Beast.

Numerous tentacles sprang up from the sea in a way Hilia completely couldn’t comprehend, breaking through the frozen sea surface and, like the giant shark before, arcing toward Hilia on the shore.

Hilia squinted.

"What a perfect target!"
