I Pioneered Scientific Magic-Chapter 424: Breaking the Limits, Shattered Reflective Mirror!
"071, initiate overload mode!"
In Lynn's mind, he silently recited, then clasped his hands together, and a ruby spun rapidly in his palm.
Simultaneously, his mental power skyrocketed.
Fourth ring, fifth ring, sixth ring...
The computing power of the magic network was swiftly mobilized, and the sensation of overflowing mental power once again rose within him.
However, unlike the previous time, Lynn did not feel the splitting headache. Instead, it was as if he had broken through some barrier, and his mind became clear...
In fact, during the defense of the royal capital, Lynn had already sensed the realm of high-level wizards in advance. After consuming two bottles of legendary magical potions consecutively, he was only a little short of accumulation for promotion and stepping into this final step!
Now, seizing this opportunity, Lynn naturally succeeded, breaking through to become a sixth-ring grand wizard, truly mastering the computing power provided by the magic network!
This was undoubtedly an unexpected joy!
However, at this moment, he couldn't afford to check his current status through the smart brain. He devoted himself entirely to the release of magical spells.
There was only one thought in his mind: compress, compress, and compress again!
In the invisible darkness, the ruby, which had absorbed a large amount of energy, trembled violently, as if it would burst in the next moment...
The spell he had spent more than two minutes preparing before was forcibly shortened to three seconds!
Lynn's forehead also had tiny beads of sweat, then he roared, "Break for me!"
The sealed reflective layer instantly cracked with micro-holes even finer than hair strands. A dazzling beam shot out from the darkness, piercing through the heavens and earth!
Lucia, foreseeing the opponent's preparation for casting a laser spell, had already solidified the water screen surrounding her into a circular reflective mirror at the speed of light. Even she couldn't effectively evade at the speed of light...
The only way was to reflect it, perhaps even bounce it back!
However, at the moment the laser beam was emitted, Lucia, located within the protective shield of the reflective mirror, faintly sensed a hint of danger. It was too late, though, as the speed of light was faster than the transmission speed of neurons.
At the moment of realizing the danger, the laser beam, finer than hair strands and more brilliant than starlight, had already penetrated the reflective mirror, instantly piercing through her body!
Then the beam quickly changed direction, severing both her body and the griffin beneath her!
In the void, the ring-shaped reflective mirror reflecting the flames shattered, turning into countless shards falling...
"Should have hit, right?" Lynn's thought flashed through his mind. At this moment, he couldn't afford to check his battle results because he was less than ten meters from the ground!
Even with the simultaneous activation of force field magic and slow-fall spell, it was difficult to completely offset the impact force of falling straight from a kilometer-high altitude in such a short distance.
Lynn had a rough landing, rolling on the ground in a sorry state, only dissipating the impact force after a few rounds. Still, he felt aches all over his body. If not for his cells being infused with magic and the cushioning effect of magic, he would probably have turned into a pile of flesh by now...
Drops of blood continued to drip onto the barren soil!
Of course, this wasn't Lynn's blood. The owner of it soon fell from the sky!
It was a griffin, split in half, and its internal organs and blood flew out during the fall, splashing into the sky...
Lynn's gaze swept over, focusing on the other side. The figure of the Holy See's saint, Lucia, appeared in front of him, landing gracefully from the sky...
Did the laser miss?
This doubt arose in Lynn's mind, but he quickly dismissed it because there was a trace of blood flowing from the left arm of the saint in front of him, continuously dripping on the ground.
The saint's robe was also cut from the left shoulder to the right leg, but the garment did not fall. It seemed to be glued together by some force, and the internal body should be similar...
The whole person was split in half but still acted as if nothing happened, a state that could only be described as terrifying.
Lucia seemed to have just noticed the anomaly on her body. Her slender fingers lightly traced the wound, and the severed injury was completely restored!
Is it an illusion, or is it immortality?
Lynn furrowed his brows. He had encountered this tricky problem during the battle with Edweil.
The opponent seemed to be invincible, and even dismemberment was not fatal.
According to their speculation, this was likely related to the secret of ascending to legendary...
"Quite an impressive magic!" Lucia praised and then turned to Lynn, asking, "Can you tell me its principles?"
She had been very interested in this unique beam magic.
Initially, she thought it simply utilized the principles of focusing and refracting light, but after experiments, she found it was not that simple!
There must be deeper secrets involved...
"Why, do you want to learn magic?" Lynn was quite surprised.
If he remembered correctly, according to the Bible, magic belonged to the power of the devil. Those who used this power would gradually corrupt their souls and go to hell after death!
"Not every high-ranking member of the church is so conservative," Lucia said with a light laugh. "If you are willing to sacrifice your faith, I will have the Pope personally baptize you, allowing you to enter a more profound realm—the true legendary realm!"
"Better not." Lynn shook his head straightforwardly.
High-ranking members of the church might be closer to true legends than the councilors like Harof, but they would undoubtedly be subject to significant restrictions. Perhaps even their lives would be controlled by others, something he could not tolerate.
However, Lucia's words also raised a slight warning in Lynn's heart. Could a saint of a church really have such great authority, pardoning him, a minion of the devil, or even ordering the Pope to baptize a wizard?
"What a pity!" Lucia said regretfully. For the first time in hundreds of years, she felt a sense of cherishing talent. However, it seemed the other party was really unappreciative.
"Pity?" A cold laugh echoed in this desolate land. "You better think about yourself!"
As the words fell, more than ten chains composed of alchemical runes rose from the ground, tightly binding Lucia's legs, then extending to her body...
In less than a second, the saint of the church had been firmly bound.
Vittorio, who had spoken just now, appeared in the night, and the figures of Aurora and Harof also emerged around, faintly surrounding Lucia in the center.
