The Evil God Summoned by the Saintess

Chapter 319: Chapter 317: It Has Nothing to Do with Hilia

BOOM!

Following an explosion, both retreated, looking at each other, their eyes gradually becoming excited.

Their situation looked fine, but the magic puppets were not doing so well.

Whether it was Suna’s puppet or Vera’s puppet, both were given the order to destroy the target at all costs, so their attacks were relentless... fists to face, fists to machine body. At this moment, both puppets were damaged to a certain extent.

"Again!"

Suna shook her head to dispel the dizziness, whispered lightly, attached black flames to her fists once more, and charged at Vera.

Vera, too, was enraged, "It seems it’s your Dusk Sect behind this trickery. In that case, I won’t hold back. I’ll kill you to redeem myself with the leader!"

Once again, they clashed together.

Meanwhile, Hilia wasn’t idle.

She observed in secret, occasionally retreating a bit, creating the illusion for the two, while the puppets started moving covertly.

With Rose’s help in masking fluctuations, the puppets carried materials and magic crystals from the stronghold around the battlefield.

She was waiting for Rose to set up the array.

This array, using an advanced magic crystal’s full magic power as its core, was enough to trap a Tier Four Mage for a while.

"As long as Suna takes care of Vera and then the array traps Suna for a bit, Kost’s people should arrive by then."

Of course, if the fight is left unchecked, based on the Southern Border City’s experience watching Tier Four Mage battles, it’s unlikely to end soon.

So—

"I need to do something."

Compared to Suna, who might target Mier later, Vera’s direct targeting of her spiritual power was more troubling.

"Just assisting Suna in taking down Vera will suffice."

She waited for Rose to finish the array with the puppet.

With Rose’s help, this didn’t take much time.

Soon, a simple trapping array was set up.

"Let’s start."

Rose’s voice came, Hilia nodded, looking at the battle above.

The ice bow formed in her hand.

This spell, mastered long ago, transitioned from a Tier Two to Tier Three spell after Rose’s modifications.

Now.

Hilia bent the bow and nocked the arrow, crystal arrows gathering on the ice bow, silently accumulating magic power under the array’s cover, waiting for the perfect moment.

Above, amidst the increasingly intense puppet battle, Suna and Vera’s battle escalated from cautious beginnings to a fierce clash.

Neither party was rational, nor were they calm mages; adding the influence of demonic qi, their fight turned vicious.

Suna’s fists seemed to resonate like a griffon, a punch with black griffon flame scatter Vera’s youthful Mage’s Hand, smashing toward her face.

Vera closed her eyes, spiritual power turned into a needle, piercing toward Suna’s spiritual space.

Clearly intending mutual destruction!

With no retreat left and losing her sanity, she disregarded her body’s condition.

But Suna cared, she wasn’t at the point of fighting recklessly.

So she hesitated.

This moment’s hesitation led her fist to change, using spiritual power to block the needle.

The cost was a horrific spiritual explosion, sending her flying backward.

Suna felt her heart sink.

"This is bad."

As she prepared to face Vera’s storm attack, she suddenly sensed unfamiliar magic fluctuation.

Upon looking, an arm-thick ice arrow with stunning icy mist tail flames sped toward Vera.

At this moment, Vera’s hard-fought advantage was ready for a storm attack.

Also, in her tightly strung spirit, a moment’s relaxation, the crystal arrow struck.

Her attack blocked, she decisively stopped the offense, opting to summon a new youthful Mage’s Hand to slap away the incoming crystal arrow.

"Hmph, a mere Tier Three..."

BOOM!

The crystal arrow exploded upon touching her spiritual hand, releasing compressed magic to assault her.

Not over yet, the explosion’s ice mist engulfed her and exploded again!

BOOM!

Tier Three spell, Ice Burst!

Under finely controlled spiritual power, the tiny ice mist pieces exploded, striking Vera anew.

Although this impact paled compared to the compressed crystal arrow, her internal magic power became chaotic.

Especially since Hilia even imbued purification skill within the spell, blending it with the crystal arrow!

Accompanying the explosion, the purification skill’s radiance soared, ravaging her body!

This series of actions left Vera, accidentally caught, in chaos and furious.

She glanced at Hilia below, "Dare to resist, die!"

Another spiritual needle emerged.

But this time, she had no chance to release it.

"Forgot about me?"

Suna’s voice rang in her ear.

Unnoticed, Suna was beside her, whispering breathily in her ear.

Her fist was already at Vera’s heart.

The next second.

Bang!

Countless fire magic power surged into Vera’s body.

Vera became a fire figure, screaming in agony.

"Ah—!"

This scream carried all remaining spiritual power, erupting and spreading around.

Danger sense’s warning prompted Hilia to use Mage’s Hand, encasing herself in an impenetrable spiritual power network.

But amid this scream, the barrier shattered in less than three seconds.

Fortunately, in those three seconds, Vera’s final spiritual power impact faded.

Both, and both puppets descended toward the ground.

Hilia’s face turned pale, feeling like her mind was mashed, dizzy and dazed.

However, the good news was, they seemingly perished.

Hilia emerged from hiding, cautiously ran forward with a puppet to check on Suna and Vera.

Both lay together, looking like they’re sleeping off exhaustion.

The difference being, Vera no longer radiated life energy, while Suna’s life force still burned strong, though severely harmed by spiritual power impact, possibly even wounding her soul.

As for what might happen later, Hilia wasn’t sure.

She hesitated for a moment, fearing an attempt to kill might awaken her like Vera’s desperate last stand, decided against seizing the chance.

"She can’t find me; if she wants revenge, she’ll target Mier. Just remind Mier not to wander after returning."

Going back meant safety.

Hilia then checked the two puppets.

"Both puppets contaminated thoroughly, even their Heart of the Magic Puppet, forget it. Already gathered enough, let’s return and see what’s in those dossiers."
