The middle-aged knight wanted to yell at Archmage, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can magic and holy power be the same? The former is just a toy created by mortals. No matter how powerful it is in the Dawn Continent, it can't be compared to the power of the gods."
However, the truth was right in front of him. The two spells that Rob used were the purest of holy power. Others might not be able to confirm this, but as Punishment Paladins, they knew it better than anyone else.
The middle-aged knight quickly realized the seriousness of this matter. Not only because they might face a terrifying opponent that they had never seen before, but also because if this kind of magic spread, people outside the temple would find out that it was possible to obtain divine power through other means, bypassing faith. The impact on the church would be immeasurable, and it might even shake the foundation of the temple.
He couldn't even care about his original mission of hunting down the girl anymore. He quietly gestured to the two young knights, telling them to split up and break out of the encirclement. They must send this news back to the Court of Heresy.
After witnessing someone's power with his own eyes, the middle-aged knight could no longer think of fighting back. He could only hope that one of the three could escape.
Punishment Paladins were not afraid of death, but they would not make unnecessary sacrifices either. What happened here tonight was far beyond their ability, so the most important thing now was to inform the temple of everything.
However, not long after he thought of this, the golden book in Archmage's hand suddenly gushed out three golden rays of light, shooting toward the three of them.
Having learned from Ed's mistake, the three Punishment Paladins were on high alert when facing the golden light that they suspected to be the Holy Light. However, contrary to their expectations, the speed of the golden light did not seem to be fast, and its accuracy was rather average.
The two young knights only moved their bodies slightly to avoid it, and the golden ray that shot toward the middle-aged knight didn't even touch the corner of his clothes.
Finally, the three golden rays landed at the feet of the three. The true purpose of the big magic was revealed at this moment. As soon as the three golden rays touched the ground, they turned into a light prison, trapping the three Punishment Paladins.
Holy Light Prison?! The middle-aged knight's face darkened. Although it was only the most basic light prison, because of the great restraining effect of holy light on Punishment Paladins, it was not a problem to trap them for a period of time. This long period of time was enough for the opposing Magician to defeat them one by one.
After doing all this, Rob put his staff back on his knees and said, "I know you have a lot of questions to ask me now, but unfortunately, it's my time to ask questions."
After thinking for a while, Archmage added, "If you perform well, I can consider answering a few questions that you are concerned about."
The middle-aged knight snorted. "I'm afraid it'll be useless even if we know the answer by then. It seems that Your Honor has no intention of letting the three of us leave tonight."
Rob shrugged and did not deny it. "Those who know me well know that I don't like to fight and kill. Usually, if I can talk, I won't do anything. But you Disciplinary Paladins are an exception. I've never had a good impression of the people from the Court of Heresy, and most importantly, you shouldn't have tried to kill him before."
The great magician pointed at the guard captain who was sleeping soundly on the side.
The middle-aged knight was silent for a while. "It seems that Your Honor is quite hostile to the Heresy Tribunal."
"Not hostile. I just don't like your way of doing things." Rob knocked on the armrest of the chair. "Now, let's get back to the topic at hand. Why do you want to capture that girl?"
The middle-aged knight shook his head. "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. We Punishment Paladins only complete the tasks assigned by the Heresy Tribunal. We never ask for the reason. If the higher-ups want us to capture someone, we do it. Those who talk too much won't live long in the Heresy Tribunal."
In fact, Rob Rob had already expected this answer, but Archmage still wanted to get confirmation from the three Punishment Paladins. In a sense, those who were targeted by the Heresy Tribunal were not ordinary people. The girl was now just a down-and-out little The Brave. What did she do to attract the attention of the most terrifying existence in the dark?
Moreover, the Heresy Tribunal had sent out four Punishment Paladins in one go to deal with The Brave, who was only a grade one rookie. Three of them were grade three, and one was grade four. This showed how much importance they attached to this operation. Not to mention, these people had a special operation permit personally approved by a Cardinal. Obviously, the Heresy Tribunal did not send out such a big force just to deal with some small fry.
In fact, if the four of them had not bumped into Archmage Your Honor, who was out of love in a bar near Ryan, with their strength, the girl would have fallen into their hands sooner or later.
From the first time they met, the teenager already knew that Lolo was hiding a secret, but Rob did not take it to heart. At the level of the future Supreme Magus Your Honor, there was basically nothing that could bother him except for world peace and his own freedom.
From the Great Wizard's point of view, Luo Luo's troubles were nothing more than those between nobles, so Luo Luo had previously offered to help Luo Luo solve her problems, but she had tactfully declined.
At that time, Archmage thought that the girl did not believe in his strength, but now it seemed that Lolo did not want to involve others. She was not ignorant of the danger she was in, and because of this, she did not allow others to get involved in her trouble, especially those she really cared about.
Archmage was stunned. Only now did he truly understand the reason why the girl left last night.
The little beast that was hibernating in the teenager's heart opened its eyes again.
This time, Archmage did not have any hesitation and neatly dealt with the three Punishment Paladins in the light prison.
The three of them were actually quite strong. Even if they were to face a strong opponent, they would still be able to put up a fight. Unfortunately, today they met Archmage who knew their weakness and was the only person in the world who understood mimicry magic.
Rob could use magic to imitate divinity. This was actually a secret that even Steins and Demain did not know. However, this was basically Rob's limit. He could only imitate a few divinity spells below grade 3. Archmage's understanding of divine power was still at a relatively shallow level. He had tried a few times, but he could not even imitate the healing spell that all apprentice priests could use.
On the contrary, he successfully imitated the two grade 3 offensive divinity spells today. As for the reason, Rob was not too clear at the moment.
But Archmage did not lie. During the process of his research, he did find many similarities between divine power and magic.
