"It's too late." The Punishment Paladin named Ed had been paying attention to Rob's movements. When Rob reached for the staff on his knee, Ed also grabbed the sword at his waist. His movements were even faster than Archmage's. When the sword was unsheathed, Rob's fingers had only just touched the staff.
A trace of bloodlust flashed in Ed's eyes. Punishment Paladins were like this. Once a battle started, they would enter a state of incomparable madness. Their speed would increase, their strength would increase, and their sense of pain would be deprived. During the battle, they would have almost no emotional fluctuations. In this state, they would even be beyond the scope of human beings and become the purest killing machines.
Ed tried his best to control the desire in his heart to split the magician in front of him in half. Fortunately, he did not forget the middle-aged Paladin's instructions. At least before the interrogation was over, this guy could not die, or else the clues that he had painstakingly found would be lost.
But when it came to answering questions, all he needed to do was open his mouth. Ed should be able to help him remove some of the unnecessary parts first. The target of Ed's sword was obviously Archmage's right hand that was holding the staff.
At this critical moment, the magic crystal at the tip of Rob's staff suddenly lit up.
The Punishment Paladin's pupils shrank. How, how is this possible?!
A second ago, someone's fingers had just touched the staff, and in the next second, he had already locked onto the magic crystal and started chanting. From the changes in the magic crystal, the spell had already taken shape.
This kind of spellcasting speed subverted everyone's common sense.
No, thinking about it carefully, the whole process did not even take a second. Ed was quite confident in his swordsmanship. From drawing the sword to slashing down, it only took a blink of an eye. And in such a short time, the magician in front of him had actually completed a whole set of spellcasting movements.
After entering battle mode, Ed's emotions should have been calm, but at this moment, he felt a trace of fear that he had not felt for a long time. This kind of thing had never happened before in previous battles.
It wasn't as if Ed had never met an opponent stronger than himself. As the staunchest defender of the Temple of Light, a sharp sword hidden in the darkness, the Punishment Paladins were constantly in battle. Ed had also been in dangerous situations several times, facing off against those terrifying fellows alone.
However, the Punishment Paladins were not afraid, because their strength could be traced. For example, there was a fallen Paladin that Ed had once chased after. Even though he had lost the Blessings of the Gods, he still had the strength of a Grade 5 Paladin. When fighting with him, Ed needed to be vigilant at all times, because even the slightest mistake could cost him his life.
The huge difference in strength forced the Punishment Paladin to choose to defend from the start until his companions arrived and surrounded him. The huge consumption of energy after the capture almost caused Ed to collapse.
However, in that intense battle, the Punishment Paladins did not panic at all. Grade 5 Knights were indeed powerful, but their fighting style, strength, and reaction speed were all based on common sense. As long as they were prepared in advance, even if they were in a difficult situation, they would not be as confused as they were now.
But now, in this battle, the magician in front of him was like a new species to Ed. Not only did the combat experience he had accumulated in the past not help him, but it also became a constraint. The Punishment Paladin could not predict the Archmage's next move at all, and it was this uncertainty that made him feel a chill in his heart.
Ed could not feel the fluctuations of magic around him, but he could vaguely judge that this should be a Grade 3 spell from the movement of the spell. This made him slightly relieved. The Punishment Paladins had high magic resistance, and they had a natural advantage when facing magicians. Most low-level spells were useless against them.
The next moment, Ed saw a golden spear appear out of thin air in front of him.
The Punishment Paladin felt a strong sense of danger when he saw the spear. He instinctively wanted to raise his sword to block, but he found that his body seemed to be firmly nailed by some invisible force, and he could not move at all. A look of horror appeared on Ed's face.
He watched as the golden spear pierced through his chest, the tip of the spear poking out from his back, and his whole body was pierced through.
This scene happened too suddenly, and the other three Punishment Paladins could not react in time. They did not even have time to draw their weapons. They thought that they had everything under control suddenly had a dramatic turn of events, and for a moment, they were stunned.
On the contrary, after Ed suffered a serious injury, his ferocious nature was completely stimulated. He roared, and instead of retreating, he changed the direction of his sword and slashed at the Archmage's head.
"Why bother?" Rob sighed, and the second spell was quickly completed. He pointed his staff in the air, and this time, twelve golden swords appeared in the air, forming a majestic sword formation. The speed of the formation of the swords was even faster than the golden spear, and as soon as they appeared, they slashed towards Ed with the force of a thunderbolt.
The Punishment Paladin's desperate struggle seemed so futile. In the face of the sword formation that descended from the sky, he had no effective means of resistance at all. Even though he was extremely unwilling, in the end, he was pierced into a sieve.
In just a simple face-to-face encounter, the Heresy Court had lost a Punishment Paladin who had experienced hundreds of battles.
The middle-aged Paladin's expression changed greatly. Impossible, what kind of magic was this? It was clearly only a grade 3 spell, but how could it have such terrifying power? Ed was personally trained by the middle-aged Paladin, and the middle-aged Paladin was well aware of Ed's strength. Not to mention, Ed was still so young, and as long as there were no accidents, his strength would surpass the middle-aged Paladin's in the future.
However, in the face of the two spells, Ed looked like an ordinary person with no ability to resist at all. Weren't Punishment Paladins immune to spells below grade 5? How could he be so easily defeated in the face of a mere grade 3 spell? Also, why do those golden weapons look so familiar?
Because the young Paladin was the closest, he felt it more strongly. The appearance of the first golden spear was very sudden, but they were all experienced people. Logically speaking, this level of sneak attack should not have been able to hurt them.
