Chapter 166: A Sword
The paladins of the church are highly disciplined, and although they have some scruples about Rob's identity, they leave all distractions behind them after receiving the cardinal's order, and once a team of quasi-ninth-order masters go all out, the momentum alone is terrifying.
On the other hand, Rob's spell casting speed also increased again, and with Bevinadette by his side, his mana that had been bottoming out was restored, and this time the target of the future Ultra Magister was no longer the eleven paladins in front of him, but the ships under their feet.
Rob released two water dragons knocked through a hole in the deck, and the sea water poured into the hole, and the whole ship was faintly showing signs of sinking.
The reason why mages are recognized as the strongest profession in the Dawn Continent is that in addition to their strong attack power, another important reason is their adaptability to the environment. If the ship sinks, everyone on board, regardless of their strength or weakness, will fall overboard, and their strength will be greatly reduced, and only Rob will not be affected.
Saruman knew what the young man was thinking, so naturally he would not let the other party get his wish, the old man finally struck again, and the divine book in the sky flipped over, and more than a dozen golden pages fell off from it, wrapping the entire ship, and the hole at the bottom was also blocked by a page, and the ship suddenly stopped sinking.
The boatmen on the lower deck hurriedly scooped out the seawater that had been poured into the cabin with a wooden barrel, and then Saruman waved his hand again, and another page floated down and stopped in front of him.
The old man said to the two guards beside him, "I can protect myself with the Divine Codex, so you can also take action, and end the battle as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”
"Yes. Ordered to take out the swords on the deck and join the fight, the two were the best of the paladins, and as soon as they struck, Rob immediately felt the pressure.
With the blessing of the tome above his head, the low-level magic did not work at all, and those paladins could heal quickly even if they had wounds on their bodies, and the future Lord of the Ultra Magus tried to attack Saruman and Renician who were standing aside, but the magic he released was easily stopped by the page.
Based on the results of the test, Rob was able to deduce that unless it was an eighth-order or higher magic, it would be difficult to destroy the page.
This is also the reason why Saruman dares to let everyone join the battle, the old man has already seen the sword in the mouth of Gudris City, but it will take a while for the Wizards Association to organize the manpower, as long as Rob is detained first, Mograine's side can continue to act, and take a step back, even if Mograini misses, he can have bargaining chips.
At this moment, the conflict with the Wizards' Guild was inevitable, so Saruman no longer had any illusions, and finally found the girl named Lolo, and the church would not take this step back no matter what.
How terrifying the attack of the thirteen quasi-ninth-order masters was, perhaps only by being in it could he understand, the space on the deck was not large, and even if there was phase movement, there was almost no safe zone to speak of, this was the most difficult battle Rob had ever experienced, and even if Bevinadette provided him with mana, there was almost no hope of victory.
Saruman is worthy of being the head of the three cardinals, he has been promoted to the ninth order for forty years, and his comprehension and understanding of the divine canon is far from being comparable to other clergy, and this sea area covered by divine power, even if Rob wants to move away, it is impossible for Rob to move away with phase.
In other words, now he has been driven into a desperate situation, with Bevine Nadette, there is still mana left in his body, but it is the mental wear and tear caused by the high-intensity battle that makes it difficult for him to continue. Optimistically, Rob still has five minutes left, and once the five minutes have passed, he will not be able to continue fighting in this way, and his opponent will hardly get tired under the shroud of the Holy Light, so he must find a way out of his predicament in these five minutes.
It's just that at the moment, it seems impossible.
Saruman was obviously not surprised by this result, in fact, he was surprised that the young man in front of him could hold out until now, you must know that the other party is only a mere sixth order, and it is enough to be proud of being able to support so many quasi-ninth order masters for such a period of time, no wonder the Magicians Association attaches so much importance to his talent.
However, no matter how amazing this kind of thing is, it is only talent after all until it is realized.
The old man's eyes had already taken his eyes off the battle in front of him, cast it farther away, and began to think about what happened next, the situation was disrupted by Rob tonight, but as long as Luo Luo could be found, they could still complete their plan, and the follow-up was only diplomatic trouble.
Saruman was still thinking about how to negotiate with the Wizards' Guild in the future, but the next moment Rob's figure disappeared again, and when he reappeared, he was already standing in front of the old bishop.
Renee Xian was startled and subconsciously took a step back.
Saruman frowned, the page in front of him was a barrier that the teenager at this stage could not break through, Rob's attack had proved this before, so he didn't understand the meaning of the other party's current move.
However, then the old man's pupils shrank suddenly, and he saw a thin layer of golden light on the young man's body, and Rob easily passed through the previous obstacle that he couldn't pass through, and before the paladins around him could react, he had already pulled out the starfall on his waist and stabbed at the cardinal in front of him.
If someone else faced this sudden sword, I am afraid that he would have been scared stupid, but Saruman was worthy of being the top ninth-order powerhouse in the Dawn Continent, and at the critical moment, the divine code in the air suddenly closed and fell back into his hand, blocking the long sword in the young man's hand.
However, Rob's true purpose has also been achieved, when the canon disappeared from the sky, the blockade of the nearby area was also lifted, Rob seized this rare gap, and did not hesitate to start the phase movement again, only this time he completely escaped from this space.
All this happened in a flash of lightning, and until this time the paladins had not yet figured out what had happened in that short moment, why the other party was about to lose, but suddenly and desperately, even Bishop Saruman was almost attacked, and the deck fell into a deathly silence.
Only Renéthea, who was closest to her, saw what had just happened, the girl covered her mouth, and almost didn't scream, the thin layer of golden light that flashed on the boy's body just now was clearly a divine power that only a priest could use, otherwise he would not be able to easily break through the blockade of those pages.
But how is this possible? Can a person without faith use divine power?!
What had happened in the first second was completely beyond Renéthea's common sense, and the girl couldn't tell why, and there was a faint fear in her heart.
