The Evil God Summoned by the Saintess

The evening was approaching, and the low-tier mages entering the volcanic area were all beaming with smiles, preparing to leave.

A large number of mages were either walking or using various flying devices to head out of the volcano.

But just then, a faint barrier enveloped the entire volcanic area, blocking their way out.

The guards of the Dragon Rider Corps were shouting with a megaphone.

"The Dragon Island Volcano is endangering the city, the protective array has been activated. Please proceed to the southern exit to leave, you cannot leave from other places. Thank you for your cooperation."

A large number of mages were directed towards the southern exit, and everyone was grumbling.

"What’s going on? We just came to pick up some materials and didn’t do anything wrong."

"Why activate the array? Are they planning to kill us all?"

"Is Dragon Island so stingy they won’t even let us pick up a few materials?"

"..."

Meanwhile, Hilia, accompanied by Encore, found the catgirl duo, Meowblue and Meowwhite, who were waiting in the south.

The two were very excited to see Hilia arrive.

"Benefactor, Benefactor, did you find the Molten Fire?"

Hilia nodded her head and took out a lump from her ring that resembled magma, with small flames flickering on it, contained in a special alchemy bottle.

Upon seeing this, the catgirls immediately held hands and danced in front of Hilia.

"Long live the Benefactor～(￣▽￣～)(～￣▽￣)～"

Encore looked at the pair with curiosity and asked, "Who are these two?"

Hilia introduced, "The one with the blue tail is Meowblue, and the one with the white tail is Meowwhite. They come from the Cat-man tribe of the Beastman Empire. A few days ago, they were deceived by slave traders, and I happened to pass by and rescue them."

Encore’s eyes sparkled, "Catgirls are so cute, especially Meowwhite."

As she spoke, she couldn’t help but touch Meowwhite’s head.

Meowwhite jumped up like a cat with its fur standing on end and ran far away.

Meowblue immediately stood in front of Meowwhite, puffing her cheeks angrily, "Only I can touch Meowwhite! No one else is allowed!"

She concluded, adding, "The Benefactor may touch if you wish."

Hilia said, "I’ll pass. Meowwhite is male, I won’t touch him casually, maybe a touch on Meowblue would be fine."

"What?" Encore was shocked: "Meowwhite is a male catgirl? But he looks more like a female catgirl than Meowblue."

Meowblue tilted her head: "Isn’t it normal for males to be prettier than females? Only your human males are so ugly."

Encore: "..."

At least Encore wasn’t a ’male.’

Meowblue hugged Meowwhite, looking at Encore with caution, her tail swaying: "Meowwhite belongs to Meowblue, you can’t take him away!"

Hilia chuckled helplessly: "Enough, you two. She’s my friend, named Encore, just as gentle, kind, and beautiful as me. Alright, Meowblue, didn’t you say you have a way to leave? What is your plan?"

These two catgirls were spreading cat love everywhere, even Hilia found it hard to take.

Meowwhite said, "Someone said we have to wait until everyone starts fighting before we can leave."

"Can’t leave until the fight starts?" Hilia asked.

The two catgirls nodded in unison.

Hilia and Encore exchanged a glance, feeling curious.

"Something feels off."

"Let’s wait and see what happens."

The two nodded, deciding to wait together to see what was happening.

There was another doubt, why were Meowwhite and Meowblue able to find a way out while those seasoned mercenaries couldn’t?

This matter might not be simple.

The opponent was so certain that mages and dragon riders would clash, possibly related to the Tower of Descent.

Or received some kind of message.

The opponent hadn’t shown up yet; everything had to wait until the conflict occurred to be revealed.

"Conflict..."

Hilia and Encore exchanged looks for a moment and began to wait for the conflict to unfold.

Soon, just not far ahead, under the fence wall, a not too big or small entrance, the mages and the dragon rider guarding the gate got into a dispute.

"Why? Ten years ago, volcanic stones were only one gold coin, and now they are two gold coins, how come you don’t just rob us?"

"Inflation, don’t you know?" The Dragon Rider Guard responded coolly.

"The volcanic stones outside are only a few dozen silver coins each. Why are Dragon Island volcanic stones so special that they sell for several times that?"

"Of course, Dragon Island’s volcanic stones are unique. If you can’t afford them, then hand over the items." The Dragon Rider Guard remained indifferent.

More and more people were angered by the price hike.

The crowd grew agitated.

Hilia and Encore exchanged a glance, deciding to go and have a look.

Hilia reached out and cast a Purification Skill for the two, while Encore took out antidotes and let them absorb them through breathing.

Then, Hilia handed them a scroll, advising, "Stay here, don’t move, and if you encounter bad people, activate the scroll immediately; we’ll come over."

The gate was no more than 100 meters away, even while watching, Hilia could leave a spiritual mark on the two using the Mage’s Hand, with the scroll being just insurance.

"Thank you, Benefactor, Meowblue will stay put."

"I will look after Meowblue."

"Hmph, Meowwhite needs watching, not Meowblue!"

"..."

When the catgirls began to bicker, Hilia and Encore decisively chose to leave and walked to the entrance.

At this point, the situation was becoming tense.

The mages were angry to the point of turning blue, with many summoning magic puppets; the situation was on the verge of explosion.

Hilia whispered, "Have these Dragon Rider Guards been affected by the Tower of Descent’s potion?"

Encore nodded slightly, "They’ve all been affected."

Hilia squinted her eyes, surreptitiously scanning with spiritual power.

Suddenly, she looked deeper into the entrance, where a figure sat in a chair, watching the people arguing at the door.

The opponent’s rank was as high as Tier Four, arrogantly sitting, watching the excited and angry mages without making any move.

But that wasn’t the point, the point was, Hilia felt that traces of contamination seemed to be faintly emanating from him.

Hilia looked towards the opponent, and the opponent looked back.

"Could it be a spy of the heretics?" Hilia was somewhat confused, choosing to avoid and not be discovered.

Just then, out of nowhere, a magic spell exploded on the Dragon Rider Guard blocking the mages.

Boom!

The Dragon Rider Guard immediately flew backwards, crashing to the back, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

All the Dragon Rider Guards’ expressions changed instantly.

That Tier Four mage immediately stood up, "How dare you attack the dragon riders on Dragon Island? You’re courting death! Kill them!"

"Kill!"

A large number of Dragon Rider Guards immediately emerged; these dragon riders were elite, like the Law Enforcement Knight Order of the Holy Court, Tier Three was the recruitment criteria.

Every year, Blue Dragon Magic Academy produces hundreds of Tier Three mages (graduates), many of whom join the Dragon Rider Corps; thus, the Dragon Rider Corps has quite a few Tier Three mages.

The Dragon Rider Guards were ready to attack, while the scattered mages were not to be outdone, with a large number of magic spells lighting up and blasting towards the other side.

Just then, a thick ice wall suddenly appeared between the dragon riders and the mages; the ice wall was composed of the Ice Shield Skill, fortified with many magic spells, exceptionally sturdy. All magic spells struck it with no shake.

Everyone was shocked.

"This is..."
