A Guide to Becoming a God Starting from a Monastery

To be honest, this ability is not very useful on the battlefield, but it is a magical skill when used against assassins.

But... I'm afraid the information is wrong!

Seeing how Joseph still had strength left despite being besieged by so many sailors, we knew that he was at least a half-step protector of the country!

Right!

The Pope even gave several of the divine weapons to his own disciples, so how could he be stingy with them?

Herzl began to walk towards Joseph step by step, with a calm expression on his face.

On the opposite sailboat, Thomas stood quietly on the deck, his cloak rustling in the sea breeze.

The other ship was weird from the start.

The Venetian galley, flying the Venetian flag, rushed towards Thomas head-on without dodging.

I could tell something was wrong from a distance.

When looking through the telescope, I saw that the people above were dressed differently from ordinary Venetian sailors.

Many of them were wearing the attire of the Star and Crescent Cultists.

Thomas had always been wary of the Venetians' conspiracy, so being attacked at this time was not unexpected.

"As expected... the Venetians want revenge. Their ambush was well executed."

It is not so easy to ambush a ship in the vast ocean.

"It's the ship behind us..."

It was also a sailboat, following Thomas, seemingly just heading in the same direction.

But Thomas doesn't think so.

This is most likely a backup plan arranged by the Venetians.

Thomas's expression remained unchanged.

Since the Venetians had taken action, he knew that they must be well prepared.

The only thing that was unexpected was that the Venetians would form an alliance with the Crescent Moon Cult.

Chapter 243 Intercept 4

"Grandmaster, the situation looks dire." A nearby knight saw the magic being dispelled by the enemy, and his side, outnumbered, was immediately in a difficult position. "We'll move forward to hold them off while you find a chance to retreat."

I originally thought it was just some simple pirate attack, but now it seems like it was a premeditated ambush.

The other side has prepared some tricks to deal with us.

Seeing more enemies rushing out of the cabin, the sailors rowing also came to join the battle.

A medium-sized warship can easily have two or three hundred combat personnel, while the number on a light ship is far less.

This is why the first reaction of a pirate ship when seeing a warship is to flee, not to fight. They will only stay and fight when they can no longer escape.

"Retreat? How to retreat?" Thomas asked in a deep voice.

The bad thing about the sea is that the party that loses in a land battle can try to escape, but the party that loses in a naval battle... basically has no chance of escape!

The knight hesitated to speak, but could only sigh helplessly.

But no matter what, he had to protect the safety of the Grand Commander. He was determined to die.

But before he could open his mouth, the commander suddenly disappeared from his sight.

"The Grand Leader..."

Thomas jumped forward, calling out softly, "Ichi!"

The magic rope immediately popped out from his sleeve and wrapped around somewhere high up.

Thomas pulled with one hand, and he shot up like a rocket. With the help of Hajime's pulling force, he jumped over the gap between the two ships with a light leap, and landed lightly in an inconspicuous corner of the enemy ship's deck.

The deck beneath my feet didn't even move.

The next moment, he bent down and rushed towards Herzl like a cannonball.

His spiritual field enveloped both ships, already telling him that this was a national defense.

But even without the spiritual field, he had already recognized that this person was the protector of the country whom he had met once!

During the first attack on Smyrna, Thomas had met the protector of the Star-Moon Cult when he was evacuating.

There is no doubt that this national defense is the core combat power of the enemy in this battle.

Although this ship flies the Venetian flag, it belongs to the Star and Crescent Church.

A translucent area spread out around Thomas' body, and his body accelerated rapidly, no longer running at a normal speed.

Steel Soul Secret Technique: Time Stands Still.

The combination of time standing still and the power of the domain makes the speed extraordinary. It is even stronger than the third-level spell: Acceleration!

"Kill!" Thomas shouted and swung his sword.

The sword brought out a violent whistling sound, as if squeezing out all the air around the opponent. The sword body shook and made a sharp whistling sound.

The person has not arrived yet, but the whistling sound of the sword has arrived in advance.

On the other hand, Herzl was looking for an opportunity to attack Joseph.

Suddenly, the sound of a sword came from the right, and he turned his head hurriedly.

Herzl was also a seasoned warrior. Even though Thomas was incredibly fast, Herzl still managed to block the blow with his sword.

The swords collided, making a loud explosion.

He recognized the person with a cruel grin on his face.

Thomas actually came over on his own initiative!

Although the sword strike just now was indeed powerful and fast, but...

The elite are just elites after all. Even if they have magic blessings and countless magical items to help them, they are still just elites.

It is different from protecting the country.

After the explosion, the second sword came, so fast that it was hard to keep up.

Hezil's expression changed drastically. The speed of the first strike hadn't exceeded his limit, but the force had already made his arm numb. And the speed of the second strike that followed...

He barely had time to react.

Moreover, there was no strong intuitive prompt at all.

What's going on? Is the position suppression ineffective?

He tried his best to dodge, but the sword still cut across his shoulder, leaving a streak of blood.

Moreover, in order to dodge this sword, he had to use all his strength, so he had no room to fight back.

"What kind of power is this!?"

The third sword came again, and the tip of the sword was pointing at the neck.

The first sword made his arm numb, the second sword made his posture completely collapse, and the third sword directly attacked the vital points!

Hazel backed away with all his might, his teeth clenched so tightly that his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.

The strong wind pressure pressed on his throat and face, almost making him think that he could not dodge the sword.

Wherever the sword wind touched him, his skin and flesh trembled and shook.

The jump was so fast that he didn't have time to stabilize his balance.

After landing, he directly collided with a Star Moon Sect sailor, breaking his bones and tendons.

Fortunately, with the help of this force, the balance was stabilized.

But before he could calm down.

Thomas had leaped into the air again, rushing towards him with sword in both hands.

Split Mount Hua with one powerful blow!

The huge and sharp whistling sound of the wind penetrated the eardrums and gave people a splitting headache.

Herzl instinctively knew that if the sword struck him, he would be unable to block it.

His weapon will break first, and then the remaining force will still be enough to split himself in half from top to bottom!

"Want to kill me!?"

At the critical moment, Herzl grabbed another Star-Moon Cult sailor next to him and threw him towards Thomas.

His body was as agile as a monkey. He touched the ground with one foot and continued to retreat.

But the deck of the ship was only this big, and after stepping back a few times, he had already retreated to the side of the ship.

Thomas cut the sailor in two with one sword, and continued to charge forward with the remaining strength.

Although he was blocked in the end, it didn't matter. He could gather his strength again during the charge.

Truly unstoppable.

This is the blessing effect of the domain!

But Herzl flipped backwards, fell over the side of the boat and fell towards the sea.

Thomas hesitated for a moment.

Then he immediately followed and jumped into the sea as well!

An ordinary sailor who fell into the sea was completely doomed and could only be slaughtered by others. So there was no need to pursue him.

But the other party is a national protector! That's another matter.

Apart from anything else, even with his bare hands, Huguo could climb back onto the boat just by relying on the strength of his fingers!

If we let him go now, who knows what will happen when the other party comes to their senses and regroups.

After all, he had just caught his opponent off guard, so his opponent hadn't even used his extraordinary abilities yet.

There were two puffs of water, both loud and soft.

Two people fell into the sea one after the other.

The sea water soaked the vision, making the whole world quiet.

Thomas lowered his head. The waters of this era were exceptionally clear, and his spiritual field, combined with his enhanced vision, allowed him to see the other person's every move with unimpeded clarity.

This protector of the Star-Moon Cult was obviously good at water battles. He swam in the water as nimbly as a big fish.

Even Thomas now feels ashamed of himself.

Herzl quickly adjusted his posture and launched a counterattack in the water.

As he expected, Thomas's movements underwater were far less agile and swift than those on land.

The two began to fight in the sea.

The situation in underwater combat is different from that on land. There is an additional factor.

The competition is about who can hold their breath and consume their energy better!

At this time, under the blue sea, the two men attacked quickly, weapons against weapons.

When the swords collided, it would explode the water, forming a vortex, and also squeezing them apart.

Chapter 244 Intercept 5

Herzl once again felt the other party's power.

That speed, that strength, is one level stronger than even this veteran protector of the country.

When humans reach the level of a Protector of the Nation, their physical potential is essentially fully developed. Logically, a Protector of the Nation's strength should be one level higher than an Elite, perhaps even more so.

But the other party was clearly only an elite, yet his strength far surpassed his. Moreover, he seemed unaffected by the suppression of his status.
