I Created Scientific Magic

"I know, just like the Sun... The Sun can also burn in the vacuum of space!" Lydia hurriedly interjected. Lynn had mentioned this peculiar phenomenon during their astronomy class, but he hadn’t explained the reason.

Lynn shook his head, amused. The light of the Sun didn’t come from burning, but from nuclear fusion within the Sun, and light and heat were merely by-products.

Nevertheless, the example Lydia cited was quite apt for understanding, and Adela immediately grasped the concept. It wasn’t that burning didn’t require the element oxygen, but rather that other elements could be used as substitutes.

"So that’s how it is."

In fact, he had conducted similar experiments before, but none of the dozen or so elements he used for the experiments could replace the role of oxygen, which led him to conclude that burning required oxygen.

But why could stones and metals also serve as fuel?

Lynn didn’t seem inclined to continue the explanation. After extinguishing the ’Undying Flame’ in his palm, he turned his head to Anthony and said with a smile,

"Master Anthony, I didn’t expect you to move so quickly. It’s only been a few hours, and you’ve already perfected the Laser Technique."

He remembered that it was only in the morning that he had handed the relevant blueprints to Anthony, which was to say the development of both types of magic had almost started simultaneously!

"It’s just a prototype at this stage, far from perfect," Anthony said with a hint of humility.

This kind of Laser Technique, referred to by Lynn as the element excited state, had five energy levels, and for now, he could only produce lasers of the third energy level.

Beyond that, there was another way to enhance the power of the Laser Technique, and that was to compress the diameter. The finer the aperture of the laser, the stronger its destructive force!

After compressing the laser from five millimeters to 0.5 millimeters, its power increased several-fold, the destructive force roughly equivalent to the standard of fifth-level magic. The compression could continue without limit.

In Anthony’s view, this was a magic with no upper limit. As long as it was compressed enough, it could definitely reach the standard of legendary magic!

"I just wonder who penned this legendary theory of element excited states?" Anthony asked curiously, because the person who proposed this theory must have a profound understanding of the elements.

"This was developed by me, based on Glenn’s Focusing Magic, combined with the element structure theory within the Secret Magic Society," Lynn explained casually.

Previously, when measuring elements, he had openly stated that research on light was also in its early stages at the Secret Magic Society. Now, it wouldn’t be good to contradict himself, so Lynn could only helplessly take the credit himself.

Rafael and the others no longer knew what to say. This Star of Magic had not only produced that terrifyingly powerful fire magic after the conference ended but had also had the leisure to research and modify the Laser Technique.

The gap between people was simply greater than between a person and a dog...

"Speaking of which, who actually won the battle this time?" Sanchez suddenly asked out of the blue.

For the practical-minded Sanchez, discussing these magical theories was far less important than debating victory or defeat.

The situation on the field just now was extremely perilous, and it was at the point where victory or defeat was about to be determined, unfortunately interrupted by Rafael.

Sanchez’s words undoubtedly drew everyone’s attention. Lynn’s fire magic was frighteningly powerful, but Anthony’s unavoidable laser technique, with its sweeping attacks, likewise left no room for evasion.

"Of course, I lost!" Anthony responded with his usual composure.

He couldn’t withstand that "Undying Flame," but that didn’t necessarily mean Lynn couldn’t block his Laser Technique. After all, the principle of the magic was something Lynn had told him himself; it was impossible not to have a countermeasure.

Anthony was quite open-minded about it, and to face a former legend and be defeated was a very common occurrence.

The only thing he hadn’t anticipated was that he would lose so quickly...

Anthony’s straightforward admission of defeat surprised Rafael and the others. They then all turned to look at Lynn. Defeating a sixth-circle wizard as a fourth-circle wizard, and almost an overwhelming victory at that—if this were to be told, there probably wouldn’t be many who would believe it.

"Since there’s no outcome, let’s just call it a draw," Lynn said. He had no intention of taking advantage of Anthony. He didn’t care about winning or losing; as long as he could have a match and confirm that chlorotrifluoride acted just as he had thought, Lynn was already very satisfied.

Wizard battles are hard to call until the very last moment, as nobody knows what kind of strange and unusual techniques one might pull out.

The outcome of this battle was thus lightly brushed over, leaving Sanchez, who had been quite interested, without any fun. He had to shift the topic to the upcoming war.

Due to the obstruction of the Griffin Knights, over the past few days, the reconnaissance capabilities of the airships were greatly reduced. Those pilots only dared to observe from a distance of at least three kilometers away, using telescopes.

Even then, they nearly got shot down.

That cunning Edwell had a real knack for strategy, managing to hide a portion of the Griffin Knights in the forest, letting the army move slowly. When the airships approached for reconnaissance, the knights would suddenly burst out of the forest.

If it hadn’t been for the pilots’ immediate reaction, and because two of the airships were quick to escape, they would have nearly been wiped out...

Because of this, very few pilots were willing to approach for reconnaissance anymore, so now they could only barely understand the movements of this army and couldn’t obtain more information.

Although the Laser Technique had been developed, it would still take some time to equip them on a large scale. Lynn suggested that they could teach this magic to some trustworthy official wizards and use them as human laser emitters.

Securing air supremacy is crucial—it can significantly reduce casualties...

"Then we might as well take matters into our own hands and deal with these annoying griffins, killing them until they’re too afraid to take to the skies!" Adela said fiercely.

"No, that’s too ineffective!" Lynn shook his head.

Though they, as great wizards, could also fly, they were far less agile in the air than the Griffin Knights. Even with a surprise attack, they could at most kill a few dozen griffins, but that wouldn’t stop the other Griffin Knights.

It’s important to remember that the number of Cardinal Bishops in the church might very well be greater than theirs, and this group had yet to show any intent to strike. They could intercept at any time. If they wasted their magic power and leaked critical information on their magic, being countered in later battles would pose a serious problem.

Either they should not take action, or if they did, they would have to completely annihilate the entire Griffin Knight troop!

Otherwise, if those knights successfully retreated, given some time to ponder, they might come up with a way to counter the Laser Technique. Then they would have to face endless harassment.

Magic and Divine Arts are of the same origin, so this isn’t an impossibility...
