This battle was likely to be the toughest challenge that Rob had ever faced since his debut.
On the peak of Anarep, although the giant of light was powerful, it was mostly due to the suppression of laws. In terms of realm alone, it could not be compared to the three leaders of the church. Among the three, apart from Osman who was hidden in the dark and unknown, Saruman and Roger were the top experts in the world, representing the strongest combat power of the temple.
Because of this, Rob could not retreat.
The future Supreme Magus Your Honor was well aware that if he took a step back, even if he could escape with the girl in the future, the two of them would have to live in fear of being hunted down for the rest of their lives.
Van 'er the Fifth had a deep foundation in the temple. Even if he stepped down, there would still be many forces that obeyed his orders. He could hide in the dark and continue to command these forces to capture Lolo. Therefore, the only way to avoid his endless entanglement was to beat him up once and for all and chop off his hands.
And without a doubt, the three people in front of him were the most agile and strong hands of Van 'er the Fifth.
Saruman's assessment was very accurate. Although Rob's strength had greatly improved, he was still at a disadvantage when facing the three of them. Especially when Osman and Roger disregarded their status and joined the battle together, this disadvantage became even more obvious.
A priest and a knight was the standard battle configuration of the temple.
However, it was not easy to display the full power of this configuration. But even the most picky person would have to admit that this was the optimal configuration of a warrior and priest after seeing the cooperation of Saruman and the other two.
This was a textbook cooperation. The three of them held high positions in the church. Although they had never worked together before, this was the first time they worked together seamlessly, as if they had practiced it countless times. Everyone seemed to know what their partner's next move would be.
This was the effect of experience. Saruman and the other two had entered the ninth rank for many years, which meant that their attacks were more stable. They would not pursue the strongest attack, but they would not have any flaws either.
Facing such a perfect attack, even if the number one magician in the world of magic, the leader of the Magic Association, Da Vinci, was here, he would have no choice but to retreat.
However, the future Supreme Magus, Your Honor, did not retreat. Once he fully immersed himself in the battle, Rob threw everything else to the back of his mind. At this moment, his spirit was unprecedentedly focused. The more adversity he was in, the clearer his mind became. Not only was he not afraid, but every cell in his body was excited.
This was the battle instinct of a top expert.
Rob knew that at times like this, the more seemingly correct the choice was often the most dangerous. On the contrary, some dangerous choices could bring about a glimmer of hope. When the three powerhouses joined hands, their attacks were perfect and flawless. Once they dodged, the three's momentum would only become stronger and stronger. On the other hand, the momentum of their own side would fall. As this continued, the gap between them would further widen. When there was no way to dodge, they would suddenly realize that they had lost the advantage.
Thus, if he wanted to receive this attack, he could only advance and not retreat.
If there was no flaw, then he would create one. Only under great pressure could there be a gap in the perfect cooperation between the three, and grasping this gap would be the key to success or failure.
Rob took a step forward, and the next moment, his body suddenly shone brightly!
Holy Power?! Saruman was a little surprised. He did not expect the first genius in the history of magic after Roland, the strongest newcomer in the world of magic, to choose to rely on divine power instead of the magic he was most familiar with at the critical moment.
Saruman was the first person in the shrine to know about the existence of mimicry magic. As early as when Gudilesi and Rob fought for the first time, he had keenly sensed the secret of mimicry magic on Rob. Therefore, he was not surprised that Rob used divine power. What he was really surprised about was the opportunity that Rob chose to use divine power.
No matter how talented Rob was, the time he came into contact with divine power was much later than the time he learned magic. Moreover, the three people standing in front of him were all powerhouses of the church. In terms of understanding divine power, each of them was stronger than him. No matter how he looked at it, it did not seem like a wise choice.
As soon as this doubt rose in his heart, the next moment, he suddenly felt a faintly discernible feeling of sluggishness. This sluggishness came and went quickly, as if it had never appeared.
However, the battle between masters was often decided by a hair's breadth. What happened in this short period of time made Saruman's heart skip a beat. His pupils suddenly shrank. No, the aura of the other party just now was not divine power! It was some kind of higher rule!
That was the only way to explain what was happening to him. Saruman and Rogge quickly exchanged glances, and he saw the same bewilderment in the latter's eyes.
As the leader of the First Paladin Division of the Shrine, a level-nine paladin naturally had divine power on him. Compared to Saruman, who felt the abnormality through his divine body, he felt it more strongly. Among the three of them, Osman, who was in charge of the Court of Heresy, was not affected because he did not have divine power.
However, this way, the originally perfect attack of the three of them had a slight flaw due to the almost imperceptible sluggishness of the other two.
Moreover, Osman also smelled a trace of unease from the young man in front of him.
Rob had waited patiently for so long, and naturally would not let go of this flaw. The light on his body faded, and in its place was the strongest level-seven offensive spell he could cast. It went straight for Rogge who was charging at the front. The future supreme magus Your Honor ignored Rogge's sword that was aimed at his left chest. This move was clearly trading life for life.
And in the end, Rogge was the first to retreat. He pulled back his sword to save himself, and the mithril sword in his hand blocked the magic.
It was not without reason that the future supreme magus Your Honor chose the leader of the Paladin Division as a breakthrough point. In terms of strength, although Rogge was not the strongest among the three, he was not the weakest either. However, compared to the other two, his willpower was the weakest. Although he was also here, it was mostly because he was afraid of the prestige that Van 'er the Fifth had accumulated over the decades as pope.
Previously, when Saruman and Osman spoke, only Rogge did not say a word. In this operation, he was more of a helper. Therefore, he definitely did not want to lose his life. If it were the other two, they would very likely beat him at his own game and accept this exchange of life for life.
