I Pioneered Scientific Magic-Chapter 288: The Despair of the Royal Nobles

"Coincidence, it must be a coincidence!"

The rain fell steadily from the sky, drenching Mortan's hair and robes. Even so, he couldn't believe that this incredibly young-looking wizard before him could perform such a miraculous scene.

"He must have calculated that it would rain tonight, deliberately putting on this show to try and deceive us..."

"Thunder!" Lynn spoke again, disregarding the horrified crowd.

Dazzling lightning began to manifest in the clouds. Positive and negative charges intertwined, gathering the lightning into a ferocious thunder that, despite being blocked by a soundproof barrier, the people on the tower could still feel its terrifying power.

Simultaneously, countless magic inscriptions emerged on the mansion's floor, one of the nodes being this towering tower.

"Descend!" Lynn slowly uttered the final word.

It was a radiance brighter than the scorching sun! The clouds seemed torn asunder as an enormous white lightning bolt streaked across the night sky straight towards the tower!

Thunder echoed through the heavens and earth. The so-called soundproof barrier shattered the moment the lightning struck! A colossal lightning pillar stood between heaven and earth, scattering arcs of electricity, illuminating the entire royal capital like daylight!

This was divine punishment! The nobles present were petrified, their faces a mask of despair and horror.

The speed of the lightning even surpassed their thoughts; in the blink of an eye, it struck the top of the tower!

Delicate, interconnected copper wires enveloped the tower's peak, forming a Faraday cage, redirecting the thunder's might throughout the mansion.

White arcs of electricity, resembling long whips, spread out in a circular fashion throughout the mansion. Several guards, grim-faced, ready to swing their swords, were engulfed by the ferocious lightning... In an instant, everyone froze, bodies scattered, robust flesh roasted into piles of gore, then turned to ashes amidst the swirling plasma...

The ferocious power of the lightning ravaged indiscriminately within the mansion. The battles on the field immediately ceased. The nearby guards couldn't react and disappeared, dissolved in the electric blaze.

Farther away, people could clearly see terrifying arcs of lightning lashing towards them. However, there was no time to flee; they could only helplessly witness the arrival of death...

Shouts and screams rose incessantly, but were soon drowned out by the even more violent thunder, as if the thunder god was erupting in fury. Accumulated lightning bolts continuously descended from the clouds, but this time, they dispersed everywhere, turning the entire mansion into an incredibly unique thunderstorm area. Lightning and heat vaporized the rainwater; even sturdy armor rapidly melted...

Inside the tower, the nobles were already cowering on the ground, a strange smell faintly wafting in the air.

"Thunder, thunder..." Mortan trembled, lips quivering, face as pale as paper, unable to articulate a coherent word.

"Is this the power of legendary magic?" murmured Anthony. Despite mastering several lightning spells, none could compare to this.

If he were in the midst of it, he would undoubtedly have perished...

Thinking this, Anthony couldn't help but look at Lynn beside him. It was astounding that even as a mere magical incarnation, he could summon thunder and wield such powerful legendary magic.

The might of legendary wizards indeed exceeded his imagination...

However, what Anthony didn't know was that Lynn was equally astounded. Although he had devised this chain magic, using it for the first time and merely initiating the first link...

He inadvertently messed things up completely and had made preparations for Philip and others, which seemed unnecessary now...

Pondering this, Lynn sensed the subtle change in the air's hydrogen and oxygen content due to the electrolyzed rainwater.

This was within his expectations, but the scale and power seemed to exceed his earlier estimations.

"Anthony, use your most potent protective magic. Something big is coming!" Lynn said with a serious expression.

"Huh? What big thing?" Anthony was puzzled, but seeing Lynn's serious demeanor, he immediately cast his strongest defensive spell. Magic surged, transforming into scales-like plates, inverted to shield the entire tower.

Almost the next second after the shield formed, another lightning bolt descended from the sky, striking inside the mansion, instantly igniting the surging hydrogen and oxygen...

The entire royal capital shook violently. The intense explosion even drowned out the roaring thunder. Tongues of fire accompanied by a powerful energy wave spread, raising clouds of dust, obliterating everything within the mansion!

The protective magic released by Anthony also rapidly shattered. Only after consecutively creating three similar barriers did it barely withstand...

The explosion persisted for over three minutes until the floor tiles inscribed with lightning runes were completely shattered, gradually calming down.

After the scales-like protective layers dissipated, the scene of the mansion appeared before everyone.

Well, calling it a mansion was not quite appropriate; in fact, it had turned into a pile of ruins...

Thousands of guards, priests, and bishops of the Theocracy were now reduced to dust, along with the disintegrated iron armor buried under the rubble...

Fortunately, Lynn had already instructed Hatar to evacuate all irrelevant personnel, leaving only some guards as bait, most of whom had already been eliminated.

As for Jonny, Pearce, and others, as well as Anthony's apprentices, Lynn had provided them with double insurance.

As long as they followed the instructions, they wouldn't suffer any harm. However, if they insisted on acting recklessly, Lynn wouldn't be able to do anything. After all, this 'magic' was beyond his control...

But blowing up someone else's mansion like this might not be so great.

With a tinge of regret, Lynn turned to Hatar and said, "The power of this magic seems stronger than I anticipated. It seems to have caused some additional losses... I suppose you won't mind, Your Highness Hatar?"

At this moment, Hatar wasn't any better than the others, thrown to the ground by the explosion that shook the capital. Covered in dust, he struggled to stand up and, facing Lynn's kindly inquiry, reluctantly spat out, "No... no, I don't mind..."

Would he dare to say he minded?
