The magic wave spread silently.
Originally, the people below began to flee, preparing to avoid the holy light splashing out of the barrier. The entire Havenright seemed likely to suffer very serious damage, and the scene was once very chaotic.
But... just after Grant took action, a magical scene happened.
As if time went back, the pouring holy light stayed still in the air for a few seconds. Then, they retreated along their original trajectory and converged towards the barrier again.
The priests who were following him all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this.
"... As expected of His Majesty the Pope."
In the blink of an eye, all the out-of-control holy light was under control and returned to the barrier. At the point where the fist collided with the barrier, the shining light gradually disappeared at this moment.
The hanging waterfall has disappeared, revealing the city wall that was half washed away, and the golden barrier that was restored by Grant.
"Did you keep it?"
No longer being blinded, people looked over there.
However, although the barrier is now intact, there is nothing in the air. The terrifying mage with six bubbles had completely disappeared at this moment.
The priests didn't look very good when they saw this.
"That demon...that mage ran away."
They are very clear about the origin of the golden barrier - it has existed since the founding of the Kingdom of Hori. Its origin is mysterious and it is said to be a treasure left by God. It is unknown how many light element crystals are consumed each time it is activated. After each pope takes the throne, he will use his own power to make the barrier stronger.
It is like the patron saint of Havenright. No one can usually feel its existence, but it does defend Havenright's most powerful trump card.
Today, although the barrier was not shattered, it did not stop the mage's progress. The opponent didn't even chant for a long time, and there was no complicated casting process. He just punched a hole in this impenetrable barrier.
"…Why is he here?"
Grant turned around and looked at the priest behind him.
"His Majesty the Pope, he attacked the prison more than ten minutes ago and robbed several servants of the Risse family who were imprisoned inside." A priest hesitated for a moment and replied, "I think he may not be reconciled to Claude. Rise was punished, right?”
Grant's expression changed slightly.
"How many servants were kidnapped by him?"
The priest shook his head and said, "I don't know, probably six or seven. Your Majesty the Pope, do you want to pursue them? We can notify the defenders on each border to keep an eye on the Crusad Gate."
Grant took a deep breath, remained silent for a long time, and then said: "... It's useless, I can't keep it."
When the priests heard this, they couldn't help but lower their heads. The atmosphere was depressing for a while, and no one dared to speak anymore.
at the same time.
About ten kilometers away from Havenright, Benjamin was still flying all the way, carrying the six bubbles filled with people, looking carefully behind him from time to time.
"Didn't they come after them?"
"No." The system replied lazily, "They must have been frightened by your punch. They didn't know that after ten minutes, how could you still use such powerful means?"
Benjamin breathed a sigh of relief.
Just escape.
To be honest, after what happened just now at the church's headquarters, he actually felt a little unsure. The church has a deep foundation, and no one knows how many trump cards it has. The golden barrier that suddenly appeared startled him. If he hadn't reacted quickly, there would be no chance that the car would have overturned.
But... it's quite exciting to do this once by chance.
Benjamin found that his idea seemed a bit suicidal, so he quickly shook his head, snuffed it out, then slowly slowed down and flew at a low altitude.
Observing the surrounding environment, he finally landed in a deserted mountainous area with the six rescued servants.
After flying them so far, Benjamin couldn't help but feel a little worried. After all, time was tight when he was in prison. He did not fully perform the entire elemental command and treatment, and the six people did not wake up along the way. Now, he finally had space and quickly laid them all flat on the ground.
Fortunately... Although I didn't wake up, the tone should still be there.
Benjamin drew the characters and called out the water element again, which condensed into healing water droplets and steam, surrounding the six people.
"By the way, when we escaped from the city, did you notice the fluctuation of magic power?" While treating the rescued servant, he seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked the system.
"Of course I noticed it," the system said. "In fact, you just passed through the hole in the barrier. Within a few seconds, the hole began to heal under the influence of the magic wave. You were almost detained."
When Benjamin heard this, he couldn't help but show a solemn expression.
The source of that fluctuation... must be Grant, right
There is no doubt that it is a very powerful force. But more importantly, this power felt very strange to him. Grant's method of casting magic does not seem to be like that of ordinary priests. He commands the light element, as if he does not need any prior preparation. Just a thought can cause the holy light to gather overwhelmingly.
What kind of spellcasting method is this
Benjamin had just explored the ways of rune magic not long ago, and he felt that he had opened up a new world. However, Grant's move once again challenged his magical knowledge system.
That kind of fluctuation is similar to runes, but... very different.
"If you analyze the magic power fluctuations at that time, I want to know what he relied on to command these elements." Therefore, Benjamin said in his heart.
"… oh."
The system reluctantly responded and then went back to its work. Benjamin also returned his attention to reality.
Under the treatment of the runes, the six servants also looked much better. Three of these people were kitchen stewards, whom Benjamin had not had much contact with when he was in the Reese family, and the other two were former servants of Claude, whom he was not very familiar with. However, he saw Jeremy.
—The only servant belonging to him in the Reese family.
Benjamin took a deep breath.
Unexpectedly, after he escaped from the kingdom, Jeremy still stayed in the Reese family, and he was extremely lucky to not be implicated by him at the time.
Maybe some people are just luckier than others.
Everyone else was dead. If Benjamin hadn't rushed to the prison at that time, Jeremy would have definitely died in the dark cell with the secret. Therefore, although he had not seen this servant for a long time, Benjamin still felt very lucky.
"...are you awake?"
About a few minutes later, Benjamin opened his mouth and said this as he watched several people slowly open their eyes.
