The two uninvited guests on the Vengeance were naturally Rob and Lolo.
The future Supreme Magister Your Honor had originally planned to come alone, but after thinking about it, he decided to bring Lolo along. For the past four months, he had been carefully guiding the girl. In theory, the current Lolo could already be considered as a qualified third-grade Magician. The only thing she lacked was actual combat experience. These pirates were neither strong nor weak, so they were suitable to be her sparring partners at this stage. Moreover, their hands were stained with blood, so there was no need to hold back when fighting. This would give her the best training effect.
The girl took out her staff and looked at Curtis with an eager expression.
Rob was startled. "Hey, this guy is a high-grade professional. He's not someone you can deal with right now. Leave him to me. Your opponents are those pirates. Be careful, there are also second-grade masters among them."
Lolo nodded and quickly got into battle mode.
The attitude of the two of them immediately angered the surrounding pirates. Without Curtis's command, they immediately rushed over with all kinds of weapons. Lolo fought steadily. After gauging the distance between her and the enemy, she first released a wind blade to force the pirates away. Then, she cast [Azure Armor] on herself.
This was also one of the first two third-grade spells that she had mastered. It had a rather good defense against physical attacks, so it was suitable for the situation at hand.
Curtis frowned. He did not pay attention to the battle on the other side. His gaze was always on Rob.
Compared to the third-grade Magician, this guy in front of him who looked neither like a warrior nor a Magician made him instinctively feel that he was more dangerous.
Curtis realized that he could not see through the opponent's depth at all. This guy had been acting very relaxed ever since he boarded the ship. There was no sign of nervousness on his face. Was he bluffing?
He could not make a judgment just from his opponent's expression. However, Curtis knew that he had to make a move. With a calm expression, he said softly, "Weapons."
Immediately, two sailors went into the cabin. Not long after, they came back carrying a tarpaulin bag. From the footsteps of the two, it was obvious that the things inside were not light. The first mate reached out and lifted the tarpaulin, revealing two giant battle axes. One was big and one was small. The big one was more than a meter long, and the small one was about half a meter long. From the head to the handle, everything was made of meteoric iron. Just a single piece was probably more than 20 kilograms. Ordinary people would struggle just to lift it, so it was hard to imagine that someone could rely on it to fight.
Those who had not seen Curtis in action would probably not associate such a gentle-looking person with such terrifying heavy weapons. When the pirates saw the pair of battle axes, their eyes revealed excitement. Curtis rarely took out these two giant axes at the start of a battle. This showed how much importance he attached to the opponent in front of him. However, according to past experience, once he took out this set of weapons, it meant that the outcome of the battle was already decided.
Just over three months ago, the pirates had just witnessed a grade 5 swordsman being chopped in half by Curtis' axe. That pitiful fellow was the captain of a large merchant ship's guard. It was said that he had once served in the Royal Guards, and had won several small team competitions. In the end, he couldn't even withstand five moves from Curtis. This matter made the pirates even more fanatical in their worship of their leader. When Curtis grasped his battle axe, in their eyes, it was like a god of war had personally descended upon them.
However, the guy on the opposite side just raised his head and glanced at them casually, then retracted his gaze. Rob now focused most of his attention on Lolo, constantly giving her pointers on how to deal with the complicated situation around her.
A trace of anger flashed in Curtis's eyes. After becoming a high-grade professional, he had never been looked down upon like this. He was also a very proud person, and seeing this, his expression became gloomier.
But the next moment, his pupils shrank, and he used his fastest speed to protect the two axes in front of his chest. With a series of clanging sounds, a string of small ice cones fell to the ground.
When?! Curtis was shocked. The other party had just casually moved his staff, and he did not see any chanting process at all. When did this magic be completed? Why was there no sign at all?
"Don't get distracted." Rob reminded, then looked back at the pirate leader and added, "Oh, I'm not talking about you."
Lolo's attention was attracted by someone's instantaneous magic just now, and she was almost successfully attacked by a thief. But the girl relied on her close combat skills as a grade 2 swordsman, and when she reacted, she kicked the guy back. The other party probably did not expect a mage to be so violent, and was completely unprepared. Lolo's kick landed squarely on his face, and he slid a few meters away, groaning for a long time, unable to get up.
And Lolo also used the counterforce of this kick to open up some space with the attacking pirates. Someone's voice sounded in her ear, "Pay attention to your back. Don't think that you're safe just because your back is to the side of the ship. Those guys are very cunning, and they'll climb up from below to attack you."
After saying that, Rob looked at the boatswain not far away and said to him, "You go and join the battle too. Give her some more pressure."
"Ah?" The latter was stunned when he heard that, and when he reacted, he was instantly enraged. What did this guy think they were? Moving experience points? He could fight as many as he wanted?
Curtis snorted coldly and said, "Everyone, attack together. Get rid of that girl first."
The pirates all agreed. Curtis was a little afraid of the guy in front of him, but he could already see that the girl should only have the strength of grade 3. Although there was a saying that mages were the strongest of the same rank, the first mate and the boatswain were both grade 3 professions. Two against one, and with the addition of the sailors, the girl had no chance of winning.
But just as he finished speaking, a prison of light descended from the sky, enveloping the first mate and restricting his movements. The future Supreme Magister Your Honor shook his head and said, "Two people won't do."
Curtis's face was ashen. He could already confirm that the other party was using his men as sparring partners for the girl, and did not take them seriously at all. But this guy was a little too bold, and soon he would pay the price for his arrogance.
