The paladins of the church were very disciplined. Although they were wary of Rob's identity, they threw all distracting thoughts to the back of their minds after receiving the cardinal's order. Once a team of level-9 masters went all out, the momentum alone was enough to send chills down their spines.
On the other hand, Rob's spell-casting speed increased once again. With Bevinadet by his side, his mana, which was almost depleted, was replenished once again. This time, the future supreme magus Your Honor's target was not the eleven paladins in front of him, but the ship under their feet.
The two water dragons that Luo Bu had released had smashed a hole in the deck. Seawater gushed in through the hole, and the entire ship actually showed signs of sinking. Renethian let out a cry of surprise and hurriedly held onto the side of the ship to stabilize herself.
The reason why mages were recognized as the strongest class in the Dawn Continent was not only because of their powerful attacks, but also because of their adaptability to the environment. If the ship sank, everyone on the ship would fall into the water, no matter how strong or weak they were, and their strength would be greatly reduced. Only Rob would not be affected.
Saruman knew what the young man was thinking, so he would not let him get what he wanted. The old man finally made his move again. The Grimoire in the sky flipped, and a dozen golden pages fell from it, covering the whole ship. One of the pages also blocked the hole at the bottom, and the ship immediately stopped sinking.
The boatmen on the lower deck quickly scooped out the seawater that had poured into the cabin with a wooden bucket. Then, Saruman waved his hand again, and another page floated down and blocked in front of him.
The old man said to the two guards beside him, "With the Grimoire, I can protect myself. You two go ahead and finish the battle as soon as possible, lest something bad happens."
"Yes." After receiving the order, the Guard Captain pulled out his sword from the deck and joined the battle. The two guards were the best among the paladins, and as soon as they joined the battle, Rob immediately felt the pressure.
With the help of the Grimoire above his head, low-level magic was completely useless. The paladins could recover quickly even if they had wounds. The future supreme magus Your Honor tried to attack Saruman and Renethean, but his magic was easily blocked by the page.
According to the result of the test, Rob could infer that it would be difficult to destroy the page unless it was a spell above the eighth grade.
This was also the reason why Saruman dared to let everyone join the battle. The old man had already seen the sharp sword at the top of Gudilesi City, but it would still take some time for the Magician's Association to organize the manpower. Before that, as long as Robb was detained, Mograine could still continue to act. Taking a step back, even if Mograine failed, he would still have a bargaining chip.
At this moment, the conflict with the Magic Association was inevitable, so Saruman no longer had any illusions. It was not easy to find the girl named Lolo, and the Church would not take a step back no matter what.
Perhaps only those who were in the middle of it could understand how terrifying the attack of a total of thirteen quasi-ninth-grade masters was. The space on the deck was not large, and even with Phase Shift, there was almost no safe zone to speak of. This was the most difficult battle Rob had ever experienced. Even with Bevinadet providing him with magic power, there was almost no hope of victory.
Saruman was indeed the head of the three cardinals. He had been a ninth-grade magus for a full forty years, and his understanding of the Grimoire was far beyond that of other clergymen. This area of the sea was covered by holy power, and it was impossible for Rob to leave even if he wanted to with Phase Shift.
In other words, he was now forced into a desperate situation. With Bevinadet around, he still had magic power left in his body, but the mental exhaustion brought about by the high-intensity battle made it difficult for him to continue. Optimistically, Rob had the last five minutes. After five minutes, he would not be able to continue fighting in this way, and his opponents were almost never tired under the shroud of holy light, so he must find a way to escape in these five minutes.
But from the looks of it now, it seemed impossible.
Saruman was obviously not surprised by this result. In fact, he was surprised that the young man in front of him could hold on until now. After all, the other party was only a sixth-grade magus. To be able to hold on for such a long time under the siege of so many quasi-ninth-grade masters was already something to be proud of. No wonder the Magic Association valued his talent so much.
But such a thing as talent, no matter how amazing it was, it was still just talent until it was fulfilled.
The old man looked away from the battle in front of him and began to think about what would happen next. The situation tonight was messed up by Rob, but as long as they could find Lolo, they could still complete their plan. The follow-up would only be trouble at the diplomatic level.
While Saruman was still thinking about how to negotiate with the Magic Association, the next moment, Rob's figure disappeared again, and when he reappeared, he was already standing in front of the old cardinal.
Renethian was startled and subconsciously took a step back.
Saruman, however, frowned. The page in front of him was a barrier that the young man could not break through at this stage. Rob's previous attack had proved this, so he did not understand the significance of the young man's action now.
However, then the old man's pupils suddenly shrank. He saw a thin layer of golden light appearing on the young man's body. Rob easily passed through the previous obstacle, and before the surrounding holy knights could react, he had already pulled out Starfall from his waist and stabbed at the cardinal in front of him.
If it were anyone else facing this sudden attack, they would have been scared out of their wits. However, Saruman was indeed the top ninth-grade master in the Dawn Continent. At this critical moment, the Grimoire in the air suddenly closed and fell back into his hand, blocking the long sword in the young man's hand.
However, Rob's real goal had been achieved. When the Grimoire disappeared from the air, the blockade of the nearby area was also lifted. Rob seized this rare opportunity and did not hesitate to activate Phase Shift again, but this time, he completely escaped from this space.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Until now, the Holy Knights still had not figured out what had happened in that short instant. Why did the other side suddenly turn the tables when they were about to be defeated? Even Bishop Saruman was almost attacked. The deck fell into a deathly silence.
Only Renethian, who was the closest to the young man, saw what just happened. The girl covered her mouth and almost screamed. The thin layer of golden light that appeared on the young man's body was clearly the holy power that only clergymen could use. Otherwise, he would not have been able to break through the blockade of the page so easily.
But, how was this possible? How could a person without faith use the power of divinity?!
