The Evil God Summoned by the Saintess

Galton wasn’t sure what happened. He hadn’t expected the Array to be controlled by Hilia and could only curse the Array Master who designed it.

Then he turned around, using his Magic Staff as a cane, and looked at Hilia: "So what? Even if I don’t have Magic Power, the Magic Puppet can easily kill you."

The Magic Puppet has a backup energy source, namely the Arcane Furnace containing Magic Power, which can be used for a few minutes of combat.

Hilia did not intend to confront the Magic Puppet.

When the Magic Puppet picked up the Magic Staff and released the puppet, she activated the Array in the courtyard.

As something Galton spent a fortune to set up, the Array could work against itself as well as external threats, especially as he kept slaves here and naturally needed an internal defense.

At least it could provide him protection to prevent being killed in a slave uprising.

Although the probability was low, his main defense was against competitors.

"Your Array is quite good, but now it’s mine." Hilia chuckled.

Bang!

The Magic Puppet’s attack hit the Array, and the invisible barrier rippled but remained unmoved.

Galton was stunned.

"This, this is impossible! How could you..."

Hilia smiled slightly: "I forgot to introduce myself, besides being a Mage, I am also an Array Master."

"An Array Master controlling an Array—isn’t that quite normal?"

Nor-normal?

Galton was bewildered when faced with a gap in his knowledge.

Even the Magic Puppet’s attack ceased.

Hilia’s voice eerily came, like a scythe to take lives: "If you don’t attack me, then I’ll have to attack you."

With that, ice balls formed by ice rain surged forward one after another.

Galton snapped back to reality and hurriedly had the Magic Puppet resume its attack.

Meanwhile, he clumsily raised his hand, activated his bracelet, and prepared to call for help.

At that moment, a flash of cold light passed. The Magic Puppet—which hadn’t participated in battle since being summoned by Hilia—suddenly appeared, wielding the sharp Ten Thousand Lights Sword, and sliced his bracelet into pieces.

Mages strengthened by Magic Power had high Defense and were difficult to kill, but the bracelet was a different matter.

Although it is sturdy, targeting it for attack makes it no different from a regular bracelet and can be easily shattered.

Generally, the bracelet clings tightly to the Mage’s skin and is protected by Mage Robes, making it difficult to hit. But if a Mage attempts to use the bracelet, it becomes vulnerable.

"Did you forget I also have a Magic Puppet?"

Hilia’s voice came through.

Hilia had been prepared for his tactic.

The Array did not block the Star Spirit Network, and she had been monitoring Galton all along.

This was Dragon Island, headquarters of Dragon Throne Commerce. If Galton called for help, reinforcements would arrive in less than three minutes.

She couldn’t let him succeed in calling for reinforcements.

Bang!

The bracelet fell to the ground with a soft sound.

Galton raised his head, looking at the enlarged Ten Thousand Lights Sword in front of him, terror flashing in his eyes.

"Don’t, don’t kill me, I am from Dragon Throne Commerce, my brother is on Dragon Island..."

The rest of the sentence was left unsaid as the Ten Thousand Lights Sword had already pierced his heart. Magic Power poured in, freezing his body from within.

His life force quickly vanished, and the reluctance in Galton’s eyes slowly dimmed.

With his death, the Magic Puppet stopped attacking and went into standby mode.

Hilia walked over.

"No matter who you are or how deep your background is, since I’ve caught you, I won’t let you live."

Rose’s projection emerged, nodding to Hilia’s words: "Perhaps some nobles are innocent, but no slave merchant is."

Slave masters may not deserve death, but slave merchants are certainly deserving.

Killing Galton didn’t put any pressure on Hilia.

"If it wasn’t me here now, but some ordinary girl, she might already be sold at an underground market to some noble, signing a slave contract to become a noble’s pet..."

She wasn’t the first, nor will she be the last.

"Still too weak."

Hilia looked at the standby Magic Puppet and checked with Mage’s Hand, discovering that aside from the Heart of the Magic Puppet, other parts had some kind of mark.

"With this mark, if used or sold, once Magic Power activates it, they’ll send a location. It seems I have to destroy it."

Hilia slowly formed a person-shaped figure with ice in front of the Magic Puppet and controlled the ice figure to attack the Magic Puppet, activating its automatic defense system to quickly deplete its Magic Power.

Moments later, the Magic Power was completely consumed, the Magic Puppet’s eyes became dim, and its armor dulled. That’s when Hilia controlled her own Magic Puppet to advance, opened the chest cavity, and took out the Heart of the Magic Puppet.

"Does the link device have a locator rune too? Why not install a locator on the Heart of the Magic Puppet?" Hilia pursed her lips and, without hesitation, removed the link device and stored the Heart of the Magic Puppet in her ring.

The Heart of the Fire Magic Puppet sells for more than five times that of the Water Magic Puppet.

The fire element offers intense attack power, can dispel cold, and ignite campfires, making it the most popular faction for both combat and life.

"The quality of this Heart of the Magic Puppet looks good, it should sell for at least 80 Gold Coins."

Hilia enveloped the entire Magic Puppet in ice fog, froze it, cycled it multiple times, successfully brittleized it, and then shattered it with the Ten Thousand Lights Sword, destroying all structures.

After finishing, she controlled the Array to open the door and walked into the house.

Following the guidance of the Array’s patterns, she found the secret compartment to unlock the basement.

As the entrance to the basement appeared, a voice came through.

"We heard the sounds of fighting above, Ga... Who are you?"

Bang!

An ice blade lodged into the neck of the speaker, exploded, instantly taking them out.

There was no one on the ground; the entrance for receiving slaves was very discreet.

But below, dozens of Tier One to Tier Two Mages were guarding, with a Tier Three among them.

All these people were sent by Hilia to confess to the Gods.

After finishing, she looked at the structure of the basement.

The basement hallway formed a cross, with rooms on both sides like prison cells, holding dozens of people inside.

Hilia suddenly appeared, killing all guards and shocking everyone inside the rooms.

They stared at Hilia, embodying death itself, in terror.

Despite the disguise, Hilia’s ordinary appearance frightened them even more.

Hilia sensed the condition of all the imprisoned people.

"In total 21 people, 14 ordinary people, 5 Tier One Mages, 2 Tier Two Mages."

Hilia looked at one of the rooms, locking her gaze on the two cowering Beastmen inside, hugging each other.

Both Beastmen had cat ears, one male and one female, very young, about 14 years old, unsure if siblings or young lovers.

They were the two Tier Two Mages she sensed.
