Pemera started to pant, and her footsteps became erratic. It was a sign that her stamina was on the brink of exhaustion. On the other hand, Kieran had never moved from his original position. He was still exerting pressure on her unhurriedly, limiting her range of movement.
Pemera knew that she would definitely lose if this dragged on. She had to fight while she still had some energy left. However, the bad news was that her opponent was also waiting for her to make a move. He wanted to end the battle early.
However, the Silver Lion was not an ordinary person. She knew that the worst thing to do in a battle was to lose your fighting spirit. The stronger you imagined your opponent to be, the more afraid you would become. In the end, it would become a vicious cycle that would only make your situation more dangerous.
So Pemera simply stopped thinking about her opponent's intentions. She held her sword in front of her chest, took a deep breath, and took a step forward.
Your Honor, the future supreme magus, also had a flash of admiration in her eyes.
Pemera was indeed a famous expert of the temple. If she was 40 or 50 years younger, Rob wouldn't be able to guarantee that he would be able to take her down in such a short time. Unfortunately, Pemera's stamina could no longer support such an intense battle. When she lost her composure and started to attack, it meant that her body was reaching its limit.
In fact, it was beyond Luo Bu's expectations that Pamela could hold on until now. In addition to her solid foundation and rich experience, the sword in her hand, God's Grace, was also very useful.
This sword was made by a famous dwarf blacksmith. A large amount of mithril had been added into the sword, and it had excellent anti-spell properties. This sword had played a huge role in Pemera's defense. However, when Pemera decided to attack with all her might, Pemera's perfect defense finally revealed a flaw.
Pemera understood this as well, but she knew she had no other choice. The old man changed his cautious and meticulous fighting style. He brandished his longsword and swung it wildly. He wanted to use his ferocious offense to make up for his weakness in defense. His every movement had the shadow of a Berserker.
In this short half a minute, she looked like a god descending from the heavens. Wherever she went, she was invincible.
However, when she finally reached the youth, she lost sight of him before she even had the time to celebrate.
Pemera reacted quickly. Almost at the same time, she swung God's Grace in an arc and slashed behind her.
The prerequisite spell for Instant Teleportation — the famous Phase Shift — was no stranger to the old lady. The moment Luo Bu's figure disappeared, she had already predicted his intentions. That was why she immediately sheathed her sword and attacked behind her without hesitation. However, her sword slashed into thin air.
Rob appeared again, but he was still standing in the same spot. Pemera realized that she had fallen into another trap. Her body was engulfed in flames. This time, the Fire Dragon was not just for show. It was a real high-level spell.
However, as expected, Paladin had the toughest defense. Pemera didn't die immediately after taking a direct hit. Although her hair and eyebrows burned away, she still had her last breath.
The future Supreme Mage, Your Honor, drew Starfall from his waist and walked up to the old woman.
Luo Bu didn't have any bad blood with Pemera. On the contrary, he admired her a lot. He'd heard many things about her when he was still in the Royal Magic Academy. Unlike the people in the Heresy Court who walked in the dark, Pemera basically only caught heinous criminals.
Because of her, people like the Cattleman could only rot in the hands of Orc Grimm. Many people who wanted to do evil would give up after hearing her name. In general, apart from her ambition and arrogance, she was a nice person.
But because of this, Luo Bu had no choice but to kill her. He knew that provoking such a person would be the most troublesome. Pemera was brave, resourceful, and indomitable. At the same time, she hated evil. Once she set her sights on a target, she would never give up. Years ago, when she first joined the Paladin Order, there was a famous incident. She chased after a fugitive and escaped into the Gobi Desert. At that time, no one expected this outcome.
It was the driest season. The few oases in the Gobi Desert had disappeared, and the fugitive did not bring any supplies with him. It was basically a dead end for him. The team in charge of the search had a meeting. Apart from Pemera, everyone agreed to wait outside for half a month. Once half a month was over, everyone in the Gobi Desert would die. Only Pemera insisted on chasing the fugitive, and no one could convince her otherwise.
In the end, she walked into the deserted Gobi Desert alone with a week's worth of supplies. She was gone for two months. Everyone thought she had died there, but six months later, she walked out with the fugitive in custody.
The future Supreme Magus Your Honor knew that if Pemera could survive today, she would definitely find a way to hunt him down. The best way was to get rid of her now.
However, when he walked up to her with Fallen Star in hand, a voice came from behind him.
"I'm sorry. Can you let her go?" The person who spoke was a middle-aged man who looked to be about 45 or 46 years old. His appearance was very ordinary, and his clothes were also very ordinary. He looked like an uncle that could be seen everywhere on the side of the road. He used a negotiating tone and was not aggressive. He also stood quite far away, leaving a considerable safe distance, indicating that he was not hostile.
Luo Bu paused, but he didn't stop what he was doing.
The middle-aged man quickly said, "I can guarantee that she will not trouble you again."
The future Supreme Magus Your Honor thought for a while and finally put away the longsword that had stopped at Pemera's heart.
The man let out a long sigh of relief. "Thank you. The exit is in the room next door. However, you need an identity card to open the exit. Do you want me to send you two?"
Rob was a little surprised. "You don't plan to stop us?"
The man asked in return. "Are you two prisoners here?"
The future Supreme Magus Your Honor shook his head.
"My duty is to guard this prison and prevent the prisoners from escaping and harming the outside world. Since you two are not prisoners here, why should I stop you from leaving?" The man shrugged.
"Makes sense." Rob nodded at the latter and did not say anything else. He walked to the room next door with Lolo on his back.
The man squatted on the ground and began to examine Pemera's injuries.
From the beginning to the end, the two did not ask each other's identity, as if they had a tacit understanding. However, Rob was sure that the man behind him already knew who he was. It was as if he could recognize him at first glance.
