What should I do?! The masked man knew that he didn't have much time left. Whether it was his rationality or his eyesight, he had to make a decision as soon as possible. From this moment on, the magic formation could be breached at any time. The longer he hesitated, the smaller his chances of escaping would be.
The masked man gritted his teeth and chose the latter. He didn't believe that Rob couldn't see that there was no way out of the lake. This guy must have some other information that he didn't know. The masked man decided to place all his bets on Rob, so he jumped into the lake as well.
Cold! That was the masked man's first thought. He couldn't help but shiver the moment he jumped into the lake. It was the end of December, and the north was already covered in ice and snow. Although the south was not as cold, the water in the lake was close to zero degrees Celsius. Magicians were notoriously weak, so it took some courage to jump into the lake at this time.
The masked man could only comfort himself that he wasn't alone at this moment. When he turned his head to look at the guy who jumped into the lake, he instantly burst into tears.
Compared to him, the future supreme magus, Your Honor, didn't even get his clothes wet. The moment Rob jumped off the boat, he quickly cast a defensive barrier called Dream Bubble. This spell was similar to Zero Degree Bubble in that it could form a giant bubble that completely enveloped the target. In terms of defensive effects, Dream Bubble and Zero Degree Bubble were incomparable. However, the former had the advantage of being of a lower rank and easier to cast. Rob's main purpose was to use this spell to isolate himself from the lake.
The masked man could only silently admire Rhode. He had heard of this level-3 spell before. It wasn't an unpopular spell, but it wasn't one that he used often either. He had too many things to do every day, so he didn't have the time to learn this spell. Therefore, he could only cast a level-1 spell called Underwater Breathing on himself. This way, his breathing time would be extended to more than half an hour. However, since he was immersed in the lake, he couldn't avoid the cold. He could only hope that the guy in front of him had a plan to escape. Otherwise, he would have suffered for nothing.
Did Rob have a plan? The answer was, of course, yes.
As soon as Xavier appeared, everyone was attracted by his arrival. Only the Archmage focused his attention on the wretched golem. Rob wasn't worried that he wouldn't be able to escape because he knew that the owner of the magic formation wouldn't abandon this golem. Unlike its cheap counterparts that could be found everywhere, the archmage sensed a trace of wisdom from this black golem. This situation was extremely rare. No, perhaps it would be more accurate to say that it was unique.
Golems were special lifeforms created by magicians. Strictly speaking, golems weren't complete lifeforms. They were more like tools. They didn't have intelligence and couldn't think. They could only carry out some simple instructions or undertake some repetitive mechanical tasks. This was almost a common understanding in the world of magicians. Before this, Rob had never seen a golem that could show its own emotions in action.
However, the appearance of this golem obviously broke this pattern. When No.2 grew breasts, Rob was surprised to find that the golem's shoulders were shrugging as if it was secretly laughing. When Xavier began to bombard the magic formation, it obviously showed a trace of fear and anxiety.
A golem with intelligence?!
The grand mage had seen many new things tonight, but none of them shocked him as much as this golem. For thousands of years, the godly palace had claimed that only the gods knew the secret of life, and all the intelligent life on the Dawn Continent, including humans, were created by the supreme beings. As if to prove this maxim, no mage could make any progress in this field even though magic had developed to such a high level.

For mortals, this was like a forbidden area that could never be touched.
But now, all this was broken by this golem. Perhaps even the golem itself didn't know how special its appearance was. It probably couldn't imagine how eye-catching its existence was to the godly palace. In fact, once its existence was exposed, not only the godly palace, but also the Magic Association, dwarven alchemists, orc shamans, and elven priests would all be interested in it.
This was undoubtedly the worst situation for the owner of the magic formation. Therefore, Rob believed that the owner would try his best to cover up the existence of this magic puppet. Judging from the guy's cautiousness in the game, Rob didn't believe that he wouldn't be prepared for Xavier's arrival.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Luo Bu to see the golem sneaking into the water again. The Great Magician threw a magic mark at it when its figure was about to disappear from the water. After that, all Luo Bu had to do was follow the magic mark and find a way to leave this place.
In order not to arouse the vigilance of the golem, Rob deliberately sat on the boat for a while longer before jumping into the lake. Seeing the bubble that enveloped Rob slowly sink to the bottom of the lake, the masked man dared not delay and hurriedly chased after him.
However, to his surprise, not long after he jumped into the lake, Jessica, who was on the shore, also jumped into the lake.
An ominous feeling rose in the masked man's heart. Since the female cadre of the Student Council was so enthusiastic, it was obvious that she was not here to see them off. There was only one possibility left. The masked man turned around and saw Jessica raise her magic staff and cast a Entanglement spell on him.
Damn, damn woman! So cunning! If it weren't for the fact that he was surrounded by water, the masked man would have cursed out loud. He hurriedly turned around and cast an Enticement spell on a big fish that swam past him. The next moment, he saw that the big fish was tightly tied up by an invisible rope.
Jessica's goal was very clear. She wanted to stall him as long as possible until Xavier broke the magic formation. By then, the masked man wouldn't be able to escape even if he wanted to. The female cadre's timing was very good. She obviously knew that the masked man was very powerful, and there were two of them. If she attacked too early, she might not be able to hold on until the magic formation was broken. If she attacked too late, the masked man would be able to escape easily. Only now, when the timing was right, could she keep one of them.
The masked man was frustrated. I can understand what you're thinking, sister, but why do you keep me and not him? Is it just because I'm closer to you?
The masked man looked at Archmage's back, which was becoming more and more blurry. Well, it seemed to be the case. In this kind of situation, only a fool would go around me to catch another person. So, the masked man tried to change his way of thinking. He gestured to Jessica to negotiate. Why don't you let me go? In return, I'll help you catch him.
Unfortunately, Jessica was not moved. She followed up with another Entanglement spell.
The masked man had no choice but to stop and cast another Enticement spell. The female cadre persevered and cast a third Entanglement spell. The masked man broke down. Sister, are you playing a game of hoop? You won't let me go until I'm trapped?
