Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint.

Chapter 100 Doubts
"Is this the monster?"

Celia turned to Aenars to confirm.

Enarse nodded.

"If I remember correctly, this monster should be called Dark Nightmare."

Celia searched her mind for information about this snake that looked like it had four legs.

She remembered that it was mentioned in her pharmacy textbook that these were second- to third-tier monsters whose attack methods were devouring and intimidation. Intimidation was used when capturing prey to destroy the target's mind, thus rendering the prey unable to resist.

It appears in pharmacy textbooks because its saliva is a valuable magical material, and its skin can be used to make scrolls.

"These kinds of monsters only live in dark and damp areas when they are wild. This forest is near Shining City, so they shouldn't be found here, right?"

Celia was somewhat puzzled.

But there was no time to think about it, because the monster charged at them.

“Celia, this monster is terrifying, it will…”

"Don't worry, I know everything."

Celia manipulated the puppet to rush forward, while turning back to smile at Enarse.

Enarse's lips moved, and she manipulated her puppet to charge towards the monster.

"let me help you……"

"No need, your puppet will get in the way."

Celia pointed at Enars's puppet, but the mage's hand blocked it.

"Just watch my performance."

The girl smiled.

A mere Tier 2 monster? Hmph, I can kill it with a flick of my wrist!

She was meek and submissive to Tier 3 Celia, but she launched a powerful attack against Tier 2!
As the Dark Nightmare charged and attacked, Celia's puppet clenched its fist and punched the Dark Nightmare in the head.

Immediately afterwards, the puppet leaped into the air, rapidly gathering ice vapor in its hands. A spear formed from the spell [Ice Spike] quickly took shape and stabbed fiercely into the Dark Nightmare's forehead!
Hiss!

The spear pierced through the dark nightmare that Ainars thought was invincible, pinning it firmly to the ground.

Its body struggled, but to no avail; it still could not break free.

Even until its complete death, only nerve reflexes kept its limbs twitching.

Not long after, his limbs stopped moving, and his body went limp.

The dead can no longer die.

Celia clapped her hands, and the puppet transformed into a stream of light, which she then stored in her storage space.

She turned to look at the stunned Ainars beside her and smiled, "Your nightmare is over, Ainars, it's time to leave."

At this moment, she was like an angel descending to earth.

Ainars nodded emphatically.

Everything around slowly turned into tiny particles of light and dissipated.

In reality, Celia opened her eyes and sat up.

Before he could even check on Enarse's condition, Mil's boastful voice came from beside him, "Celia, you know what I did..."

"Mir!"

Northon's stern voice interrupted Mil's words. He gave Mil a cold look, then turned to Celia, "How is Ainars, Miss Celia?"

Celia glanced at Mir thoughtfully, then nodded and said, "Her mental blockade should be lifted."

As she spoke, she called out to Ross in her heart—

"Lord Ross, are you there?"

"What's the matter?"

“Ainars’s dream world is so strange. If it’s based on memories, it means it happened. They really did encounter monsters that like damp environments in the dry forest near Shining City. That’s so strange.”

"What do you think it is?" Ross asked, amused.

"This Dark Nightmare must have been deliberately placed here. When I fought it, I felt that although it was ferocious, it didn't have the keen sense of danger that wild monsters have, and it was also clumsy in combat."

Ross remained silent. Celia paused, got off the bed, and went to the side. She handed Enarse to the two practicing priests before continuing her mental analysis: "I suspect that those two damned nobles, Norsen and Mil, set a trap for Enarse. They tricked her into going on a commission with them under the pretense that Enarse owed me money and wanted to repay it. Then they arranged for the Dark Nightmare to ambush them, using the Dark Nightmare's properties to seal her soul and keep looping that memory."

What were their motives?

"The motive... I don't know, but it's definitely related to me."

When Celia thought of how Mir kept mentioning her in Ainars's dream, she got goosebumps.

"Could it be that Mir wanted me to hear those disgusting things he said?"

Thinking about it carefully, this does indeed fit the behavior of that idiot Mil.

In particular, he took credit for himself the moment he woke up.

This is too obvious.

but……

Celia sensed that things weren't that simple.

Because one person was added to this group.

Mil's brother, Norsen.

She knew absolutely nothing about Norson.

I just felt that this Norsen was much smarter than his foolish brother.

While Mil is usually quite annoying, he wouldn't be as incessantly talkative and irritating as he is in the dream.

Therefore, it must have been Norsen who did all of this.

“From the situation of Enarse in the dream, I can see that she needed someone to save her the most at that time. Norsen signed a master-servant contract with her. He entered Enarse’s dream to save her, which could have made Enarse follow him wholeheartedly, but he didn’t do that.”

Ross smiled knowingly: "He can't get in."

"Huh? Why?"

“The sealed mental world can only be entered by those who trust it, and Norsen is not someone she trusts.”

"I see. But then, wouldn't it all be a coincidence? Except for the sudden appearance of the Dark Nightmare..."

Lacking crucial information, Celia couldn't understand what Northon and Mil were up to.

Finally, she gave up thinking.

"Never mind, whatever they want to do, if they threaten me, I won't let them get away with it!"

The status of a candidate saintess is not just for show.

If someone is caught plotting against her, she can be put on trial directly in the name of the Holy Court.

Of course, any malicious intent must threaten Celia's safety; like in the last flying competition, Celia couldn't act in the name of the Holy Court.

She participated in the flight competition first, but as long as she isn't reported by the school, she won't be in any trouble even if she participates ten times.

And Mil reporting this to her tutor...

That's just incredibly stupid.

Those participating in the flight competition were not ordinary civilian students.

Do ordinary people have the resources to participate in cross-country races?
With heightened vigilance towards the Deville family, Celia refocused her attention on Enarse.

As the blockade of her mental world was broken, her consciousness slowly returned to her body.

As the two practicing priests treated her, her eyelids twitched, and she slowly opened her eyes.

"You're awake?" Celia walked over and asked with concern.

As she spoke, she kept an eye on Norsen's movements out of the corner of her eye.

The other party did not come forward, but instead stood on the outside, preventing Ainars from seeing him at first glance.

His subtle movements went unnoticed unless Celia paid special attention.

She began to suspect the nature of his master-servant contract with Enarse.

Perfect timing! Perhaps the dream sequence that Enarse experienced will unlock the next CG sequence.

Celia found Ross's speaking habits very interesting.
