The Evil God Summoned by the Saintess

As all the Magic Crystals thrown into the magma were activated, the entire internal passage of the volcano instantly turned into an Array, with the nodes of the Array being the volcanic lake in the karst cave.

When the Array activated, the surging fire elements immediately poured into it, causing the surrounding heat to cool slightly.

Shaline took a deep breath, gave a light hop, and landed above the central magma lake, then took out the Divine Format shard and closed her eyes.

Beside her, aside from Pera who was protecting her, Rose was also quietly watching.

Because the Array was too massive, activation required some time.

At this moment, due to the Array’s manipulation of the fire elements, the fire elements within the entire volcano did not decrease but instead increased, becoming even more active.

Rose’s phantom appeared beside Hilia and said with a smile, "Aren’t you going in to take a look?"

Desire clearly flickered in Hilia’s eyes.

She actually wanted to go in as well, to watch the volcanic eruption up close, to see the blazing magma, and to witness the process of a Spiritual Object being born.

But she did not move.

The girl shook her head. "It’s too dangerous, and no matter how those people fight over it, in the end the one who profits will definitely be the official Blue Dragon Empire."

Letting people from other countries and races in, Hilia didn’t believe that the powerful Blue Dragon Empire would really hand over the most precious Spiritual Objects.

Rather than seek some illusory Spiritual Object, it was better to just watch from outside, sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

Not only her; many others also hadn’t gone in.

Hilia noticed quite a few Minstrels holding harps inside, providing accompaniment for the volcanic eruption.

The Minstrels were chanting poems about great battles from a hundred years ago, telling the nearby people what had once happened at the Dragon Island Volcano.

There were also Minstrels recording what was happening on the mountain from afar.

At this time, no conflict had yet broken out.

Because the treasures hadn’t appeared.

If they didn’t emerge from here, then there was no point in fighting.

Perhaps this time would end peacefully.

But no one thought so.

Rose looked at the volcano that was continuously spewing magma and chuckled softly. "Go on, you don’t need to covet the Spiritual Objects. This volcano is very special; it will spray out things buried deep underground, such as dragon hoards. Take a stroll inside, maybe you’ll find something good. Even if you don’t, you can still pick up some materials. For example, Volcanic Stone is quite a good fire-element material."

Hilia hesitated for a moment. "Then I’ll follow Rose’s guidance and just go in for a bit!"

As she spoke, the girl couldn’t wait to take out her broom and rushed into the volcanic area.

Rose tapped her on the head in exasperation.

...

At the same time.

Somewhere.

The two catgirls, Meow-White and Meow-Blue, sneaked into the volcanic area.

The magma from the eruption had already rained down; the two of them were advancing in little jumps, picking up the things blasted out in the volcanic ash.

"Pick up more Volcanic Stone to bring back; that’s what our tribe needs the most!"

"Meow-Blue got it, it’s so heavy, huff huff... Meow-White, are you going to go up there and take a look?"

"No no, it’s too dangerous up there. We’re just here to pick some Volcanic Stone. Sigh, if only there were a volcano near our tribe, we wouldn’t have to run so far."

"Idiot Meow-White, only Volcanic Stone from Dragon Island works; you don’t get it anywhere else."

"Meow-Blue is the idiot—you’re stuffing normal rocks into your backpack and treating them as Volcanic Stone. Don’t you feel how heavy it is?!"

"Huff huff huff, Meow-Blue is dying from the weight! So there were normal rocks? Damn rocks, tricking Meow-Blue!"

"Meow-Blue... huh? What’s that up ahead?"

Meow-White suddenly pointed ahead. Amid the cover of boulders and dense forest, a seemingly man-made wall suddenly appeared in their line of sight.

Meow-Blue sniffed toward the front. "What an awful smell—same as those people who captured us. Meow-White, don’t go over there."

"The same smell—it must be those hateful slavers! Let’s secretly go take a look."

"Don’t, what if we get caught? This time there won’t be a benefactor to save us."

"We just need to be careful. There must be people captured in there. Our benefactor saved us; we should save others too."

"Uuh..."

"Come on, come on."

"...Fine then."

...

Hilia did not go straight up.

According to the information she’d gathered, this was only the beginning. Although the magma had already started to gush out, aside from the first two eruptions, the rest were still sparse; it hadn’t reached the most active phase yet.

Having missed those first two soul-shaking eruptions, there was no need to rush.

At this moment, with the volcano erupting, all sorts of magic materials buried deep within the volcano were being blasted out and scattered across many spots within the volcanic area.

Hilia was slowly making her way forward, casually picking up Volcanic Stones of seemingly decent quality along the way.

"Volcanic Stone is equivalent to a substitute for elemental crystal cores. Later, when setting up small Arrays or when fire-element materials are needed, Volcanic Stone can be used instead. It’s highly versatile; can’t miss out on it."

Only when the volcano erupts and the fire elements are active does Volcanic Stone containing fire elements form; an ordinary volcanic eruption can only produce ordinary Volcanic Stone, which isn’t much use.

The Volcanic Stone of Dragon Island was of fairly good quality.

Just as she was slowly searching for Volcanic Stone and other fire-element materials along the way, she suddenly spotted a different kind of scenery ahead.

"That looks like a man-made wall... No, that’s a fluctuation of pollution."

Hilia blinked. "No way, even in the very center of Dragon Island, within the Dragon Island Volcano area, there’s an heretical base?"

Having encountered it, of course she wouldn’t pass it up.

She activated the Disguise Skill, blended herself into the surroundings, and quietly approached. Using a Spiritual Scan, she discovered this was only a small base, with the highest-ranking person being a Tier Three Mage.

These Mages weren’t like the heretics of the Deep Sea Mutual Aid Association and the Polar Blood Alliance, who had been forcefully turned; they seemed to be heretics who cultivated using pollution.

"Something’s off—they seem to have cultivated normally to Tier One or Tier Two before being polluted."

Hilia pondered for a moment and immediately understood.

The Tower of Descent excelled at using pollution to bewitch people’s hearts, inducing them to stir up all sorts of desires, then using those desires to guide people into joining the Tower of Descent.

These heretics were clearly Mages converted by the Tower of Descent through pollution and seduction.

Hilia could now sense Tier Four fluctuations; after confirming that there was no Tier Four Mage in this small base, she charged straight in. A Purification Skill directly dispelled everyone’s pollution, then she used Ice Element Magic to freeze and bind them.

"Since you’re ordinary Mages who were bewitched, I’ll spare you... Hm? Looks like there are more people."

Hilia sensed something, walked into a house, and saw several cages inside, one of which...

Contained those two little catgirls she had met before.

Their gazes met. Meow-White blushed and lowered her head, while Meow-Blue waved excitedly. "Benefactor, benefactor, we’re here, we’re here!"

Hilia fell silent and walked over to open their cage.

"How did you two get captured again?"
