I Pioneered Scientific Magic - Chapter 335 (Patreon)

Chapter 335: Lynn's Defeat?

The perilous and dreadful compound hovered in his palm at this moment. Lynn, with a slightly weary expression, revealed a faint smile before unleashing his magic — the Advanced Material Deconstruction Spell! Magic surged like a shark catching the scent of blood, crazily enveloping the chlorine trifluoride under the manipulation of his mental force.

"It's not reacting..." Lynn murmured to himself.

But it made sense; magic doesn't possess electrons, so there wouldn't be the phenomenon of plundering.

While contemplating, magic had already entered the chlorine trifluoride, imprinting its structure and features, swiftly proceeding to replicate...

Lynn simultaneously lifted the vacuum field. Upon contact with other substances, the chlorine trifluoride immediately exhibited its terror, swiftly igniting into flames, hot and tinged with a hint of eerie...

Hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and various rare elements in the air, perceived by Lynn, were quickly drawn into the 'Flames of Hell.' The chlorine trifluoride, like an insatiable and perpetually unsatisfied glutton, crazily devoured all approaching elements, turning them into its sustenance.

In just a few seconds, what was initially a spark the size of a fingertip rapidly expanded to that of a fist, accompanied by a substantial amount of toxic gas...

This was the second characteristic of chlorine trifluoride — its reaction with other substances produced highly toxic gas, somewhat akin to phosphorus.

"Let's call it the 'Inextinguishable Flame,'" Lynn mused, rubbing his chin. This thing needed a name; calling it chlorine trifluoride directly was too straightforward, akin to self-disclosure.

Confirming that the 'chlorine trifluoride' indeed possessed the unique characteristics recorded in his intellect, Lynn began experimenting with ways to utilize it.

Since these chlorine trifluoride compounds were magically simulated, they could be manipulated like other spells, albeit with a slightly higher difficulty due to their actual electron looting, necessitating additional mental energy for control...

Whether they could counter spells and divine arts as he imagined remained an unknown.

This was an urgently requiring validation...

After dinner, Lynn summoned Anthony, who was researching laser emitters, proposing a limited magical battle to test the new spell's potency.

Anthony enthusiastically agreed.

The location? The spacious training ground within the estate!

Upon receiving the message, Elok and the others dropped their current tasks. They were all interested in the Headmaster's new magic, even Raphael and his companions.

"How much chance do you think Master Lynn has?" Sanchez quietly asked his colleagues.

"Less than ten percent..." Dennis pondered, responding thoughtfully.

You see, Anthony was a Sixth Circle Grand Wizard, just a step away from legendary status, and he'd even developed unique electromagnetic magic!

And Lynn had only recently advanced...

A Fourth Circle against a Sixth Circle... That gap couldn't be bridged by just one or two novel spells.

Indeed, if Anthony's opponent wasn't this rising star in magic, there might not have been even that one percent chance.

"That's not necessarily true." Raphael shook his head, not agreeing with Dennis' inference. "Don't forget, Master Lynn almost killed Ougust!"

He had fought alongside Lynn against the Doomsday Cultists. Back then, Lynn, just a Third Circle wizard, had devised a powerful spatial magic within the magical domain, aiding in defeating the infiltrator within the Papal Court, nearly obliterating the potentially legendary Ougust with an electromagnetic cannon...

"But if I remember correctly, wasn't Lady Aurora assisting him covertly?" a wizard reminded, believing this magic prodigy simply stumbled upon a feat...

No matter who it was, with the assistance of legendary councilors, resolving the turmoil within Greeneral City wasn't a daunting task.

While some debated from an outside perspective, assessing the outcome based on the strengths of both sides, Anthony, facing Lynn, had an exceedingly solemn expression.

He was well aware that the figure standing opposite wasn't an ordinary Fourth Circle wizard but a former legend. Even though Lynn's power hadn't fully recovered, he wasn't someone to be taken lightly!

Anthony faintly sensed the long-submerged fervor in his body starting to boil. Confronting a legendary wizard in his prime was beyond his capability now, but it was an opportunity to witness a legend's might.

"Can we begin, Master Lynn?" Anthony asked.

In front of others, he refrained from rashly addressing Lynn as his mentor, as he hadn't yet deciphered the intricate Maxwell equations, which Lynn acknowledged.

"Of course!" Lynn casually replied, unaware that Anthony, lost in his self-fantasies, had already started taking it seriously.

Since his breakthrough, this was Lynn's first actual combat against a true Grand Wizard. Previously, while battling Herlram and Ougust, he either outwitted them or relied on others' aid.

This time, he'd confront a Sixth Circle wizard relying solely on his own strength!

At the moment Lynn nodded in agreement, Anthony raised his hand. A whisper of blue-purple lightning appeared at his fingertips.

[Thunderbolt]

It was just a Fourth Circle spell, but its advantage lay in its incredibly swift casting. Almost at the instant his finger lifted, the flashing lightning resembled a ferocious thunderous serpent hurtling toward Lynn!

However, the flickering lightning was firmly confined within a three-meter radius around Lynn, leaving him entirely unharmed.

That was the Faraday Cage!

Engaging in battle with Anthony, who excelled in thunder magic, Lynn wasn't about to take any chances.

Anthony's expression remained unchanged. With a thought, amidst the flickering electric glow, minuscule metallic elements instantly transformed into lethal weapons, converging and extending outward at an unimaginable speed...

In an instant, several sharp copper spikes pierced through the flashing lightning, impaling Lynn firmly in place...

"Headmaster!"

Seeing Lynn pierced by these copper spikes, Elok exclaimed in panic, and Pearce and the others were equally shocked, their faces a picture of astonishment.

They hadn't anticipated that what was merely a magical experiment would prompt Anthony to suddenly act so ruthlessly.
