Chapter 428: This is My Final Magic - Grand Nuclear Explosion Spell!

In Lynn's mind, the biblical passage about hell surfaced, one part of which was the skinning purgatory used to punish the gravest sinners.

These monstrous beings in front of them were the executioners, their faces bloody with faintly visible orifices—eyes, nostrils, and mouths.

Their bodies contorted, as if their skin had been ripped off, leaving only bloody muscles and bones. They held execution tools, resembling a group of walking corpses, moving strangely towards them.

If ordinary civilians or apprentices witnessed such a terrifying scene, they would likely be horrified. However, Harof and the others showed no reaction.

They understood that these were just cannon fodder used by Lucia to obstruct their progress!

However, facing enemies of this level wouldn't make them halt. "Disintegration Ray!"

Harof took action.

With a single strike, the executioners blocking their path were torn apart by an invisible force, turning into a mass of flesh. Despite being disintegrated into a blurry blood mass, the pieces still attracted each other as if wanting to gather together.

Fortunately, before they could reassemble, the raging, unextinguishable flames engulfed the remnants, aided by the trichlorofluoromethane capable of consuming certain elements, perfect for dealing with regenerating monsters.

But Lynn soon noticed a towering figure emerging from the surging sea of fire.

It was a gigantic monster, unlike the other executioners. Its stature reached the top of the mine, and although its robust form had been eroded into a skeletal structure by the unextinguishable flames, it remained oblivious. It wielded a fiery, meter-long hammer and swung it down towards them like a looming execution.

"Seal!" Victorio murmured. Chains of alchemical runes extended from his domain, binding the giant monster's arms, waist, and neck.

Then Harof unleashed a powerful Disintegration Spell, shattering it into pieces!

"I sense the power of spirits and dark gods in these monsters," Victorio solemnly remarked.

The opponent likely imprisoned the souls of those they once killed, giving rise to these monsters. The purgatory projected matched the biblical description, deepening Victorio's concerns.

To possess such formidable power with just an avatar raised questions about the opponent's true capabilities.

Snap!

Suddenly, clear footsteps echoed behind them.

The expressions of everyone present changed abruptly.

The once solid rock path underfoot had turned into a muddy swamp. With Lucia's strength, such a glaring flaw shouldn't exist unless... either she had no intention of concealing herself, or she deliberately wanted to impose psychological pressure on them!

Thinking this, the previously clear path distorted, and blood-colored threads emerged from the walls, completely blocking the way forward.

At this moment, Lucia's figure appeared behind them, cutting off their retreat.

Harof and the others immediately abandoned the idea of escaping. Clearly, Lucia had control over the entire mine. Even with their best efforts, escaping seemed nearly impossible. Moreover, they had to capture her, especially after going through the trouble of luring the Church's saint out alone.

Aurora raised her hand, surrounded by a glow of lightning. A terrifying magnetic field formed almost instantly, and dozens of metal bullets hovered in mid-air. Driven by electromagnetic force, they shot out, creating deafening sonic booms.

This was the electromagnetic railgun Lin had invented!

Having learned the relevant theory, Aurora could replicate it. Although due to hasty casting, the railgun's speed wasn't as fast as the original, roughly six times the speed of sound, it was still lethal!

The previously unextinguished flames from the monsters erupted, burning the faces embedded in the tunnel walls. A hot pillar of fire swept towards Lucia!

The railgun fired first. With a thrust at six times the speed of sound, it covered fifty meters in just 0.025 seconds!

However, at the moment the railgun was launched, its speed visibly decayed, as if the elements in the divine projection were spontaneously hindering the bullet's velocity...

Facing the incoming railgun shots, Lucia's expression remained unchanged. Instead, she seemed intrigued by the peculiar unextinguishable flames.

She had heard of this flame before and encountered it more than once, understanding its tenacity and... how to deal with it!

Lucia opened her mouth and exhaled gently.

Crack!

A cold air, seemingly capable of freezing time, spewed from Lucia's mouth, swiftly spreading around. The incoming metal bullets froze in mid-air, and the surging waves of fire were frozen in place, quickly melting and dissipating...

This was the legendary divine spell - Eternal Frostland!

Although she couldn't immobilize all elements in the divine realm like her true self, she could still manage it on a small scale!

After dissolving the unextinguishable flames, the breath of frozen time continued to surge forward, rapidly solidifying everything along the way!

Victorio's hand seals changed, and chains of runes emerged from the void, interweaving and connecting to form a solid wall.

However, this defense lasted less than two seconds; the runes on top froze and disintegrated, losing their intended effect.

Fortunately, Lin's spell was ready!

A powerful laser beam materialized in Lin's palm, shooting out with unstoppable force, piercing through the Eternal Frostland and Lucia's protection, directly penetrating her forehead!

"Damn it!" Lin's expression changed as soon as he succeeded. At that moment, he realized something was amiss, for although the freezing field had stopped expanding, the saint pierced by the laser beam showed no signs of being affected.

It was apparent that what appeared before them was just an illusion!

In fact, Lucia, who knew the power of laser magic, naturally couldn't be unprepared. The deliberate footsteps and the illusion in front of them were just means to deceive them!

But this time, even Aurora failed to see through it!

Realizing this, a fierce warning had already surfaced in Lynn's mind when he mobilized the elements within the domain without hesitation, and a silver shield instantly condensed.

"Starry Radiance!" Lucia's voice almost echoed right in front of him. The continuous battles had made the saint realize that Lynn in front of her was the biggest threat and had to be the first to be eliminated!

Fierce star flames immediately exploded, filling the entire space.

The silver shield visibly dented, but under Lucia's full force, it remained resilient! Because it was composed of uranium elements!

As a highly dense element, the hardness of uranium was self-evident. Before reaching critical mass, it was not an easy task to completely destroy it...

And Lynn spread the magical field around him, not even caring about radiation, just to be able to cast the nuclear explosion spell at the most opportune moment.

Now, it was being utilized by him to block the imminent Starry Radiance!

Lucia also did not expect that her full-force attack would be easily blocked by Lynn, a grand wizard. Rune chains appeared in the void, blocking Lucia's pursuit and restricting her movements.

Victorio was exerting all his strength, forcibly expanding the domain, cooperating with Aurora's visual obscuring spell, once again binding the opponent!

"This is the real body, Harof!" Victorio shouted hoarsely.

"Blade of Spacetime, strike!"

After Lucia appeared, Harof, who had been preparing for this moment, finally made a move, concentrating all his magic on this legendary spell! Black threads appeared in the boundless void, distorting space, shattering divine realms. Even light was drawn into it, leaving only endless darkness!

With one blow, a large hole was cut in the rock wall behind, and within the blood-red realm, a 'black pillar' pierced through heaven and earth!

As the target of the Spacetime Blade attack, Lucia's shoulder and entire right hand entered the black spatial vortex, erased by the powerful spatial forces!

If not for Victorio's reminder to slightly deflect her body before the attack arrived, this incarnation would likely have been severely damaged...

However, everything stopped here. Harof's full-force blow did not completely dispel the projection of the divine realm. The 'black pillar' gradually disappeared after a brief existence, and the blood-red space slowly gathered towards the center.

Terrifying divine magic fluctuations erupted from Lucia's slender body. The rune chains immediately disintegrated, and the half of her body erased by spatial forces rapidly recovered at a visible speed.

Under the intense magical backlash, Victorio spat out blood.

Aurora's face was also pale. They had done everything they could!

"Accept destruction!" Lucia floated in mid-air, and her star-like eyes shimmered. The elements of the entire divine realm became unusually active.

Dazzling starlight appeared almost everywhere in this space, impossible to dodge or hide from...

At the moment of the attack, Lucia suddenly turned her head.

A rushing wind echoed behind her.

At the hole pierced through, a massive propeller appeared in front of her! A giant creature with a wingspan of dozens of meters, flying at a speed of three hundred and sixty kilometers per hour, rushed in through the channel cut by the Spacetime Blade!

The front hub fin of the propeller collided with Lucia, carrying her with its weight and high speed toward the depths of the mine!

The large wings passed over Lynn and the others' heads, and the strong wind shook their robes.

"Now is the time, retreat!" Lynn urgently shouted, ignoring explanations, and directly pulled everyone to jump down from the hole where the aircraft came in! Below this mine was a flowing river!

...

In the current mine, the high-speed aircraft directly pressed against Lucia's body, piercing through the already thin rock wall, rushing deeper into the mine.

The one driving the aircraft was only Lynn's magical projection. After receiving the communication from the main body, he used this last resort to quickly send Lydia to a safe place and then returned!

Then, following the channel cut by the Spacetime Blade, he unexpectedly collided in the most unexpected and simplest way!

Because the aircraft was not within the range of the divine realm throughout, it naturally deceived Lucia's perception. It directly collided when she was casting the spell at full strength!

If it were anyone else, under such a violent impact, they would probably have turned into a lump of mud long ago. However, his opponent was the saint of the Holy See, Lucia in the incarnation of Aila! She had set up protections around her that even the fourth-level laser beams found it hard to penetrate. Although she was carried away by the impact force, she remained unharmed. She grasped the front of the aircraft with both hands, forcibly breaking off the propeller and using it as a weapon against the entire fuselage!

Inside the aircraft, as Lynn existed as a magical projection, he was not afraid. In his hand was a peculiar silver sphere.

Extracted from the Demon Stone, uranium-235, enough to unleash nuclear explosion twice. To be safe, half of it was stored in the main body's domain, implementing Plan A!

The other half was stored on this aircraft, as insurance and a contingency!

Now, he had taken it out and, facing Lucia's attack, Lynn directly hurled it at her!

"Feel the wrath of the sun!"

Lynn shouted, various names like big fatty, little boy, and other nicknames flashed through his mind, finally naming this magical atomic bomb.

Otherwise... let's call it Little Girl!

At the moment the sound fell, the neutron source inside uranium-235 had started to operate, thousands of neutrons scattered, and a chain reaction instantly formed.

Grand nuclear explosion, initiated!
