No matter how much Claude wanted to gather enough origin energy before he start an all-out assault on the 7th rank mages, what the Serpentine Empress did make that almost impossible
Even for the current him, a combination of five 7th rank mages is not a lineup that he could fight and emerge victorious easily
Even escaping from them was hard to do even with the support of the entire realm
Claude could open up space easily to flee but while the 7th rank mages could lock space with a higher level of difficulty, they still have the numerical advantage
After all, these mages are like small worlds inside a bigger world. They are not as strong as the entire world but nonetheless, they are still worlds
At the very least, preventing Claude from escaping is still possible as long as there are enough numbers of them
Since Claude still hasn't obtained all the ownerless Blessed Land on earth, he still cannot disregard five 7th rank mages
