I Created Scientific Magic

Just as Lynn was explaining what oil was, magical barriers similar to each other rose above soaring towers, sealed factories, and the skies of the capital, blocking the falling firebomb rain.

In order to avoid surprise attacks by rebellious elements during fierce combat, which could burn down their granaries and armories, or even cause massive explosions, Lynn naturally had alchemists set up magical protections at key locations and arranged for many to be specifically tasked with guarding these places.

This was also why there were only ten thousand musketeers and a few hundred official wizards on the city walls, as the others were all assigned to auxiliary defense.

After seeing that the oil attacks were of little effect, some of the Griffin Knights lowered their altitude to claw and scratch the magical barriers with their talons—still quite effective in breaking magic, quickly scratching marks into the magical barriers...

Others turned their targets to the residential houses below; the scorching oil smashed onto rooftops and streets, igniting fires that quickly began to burn within the city...

"Damn it!"

Seeing the flames spreading through various districts of the entire capital, Hattar was frantic, urging Lynn and the others to send people to the rescue.

He didn’t care much about the lives of the poor, but his own palace was also treated as a priority. At least thirty Griffin Knights were hovering above the palace, and the previously arranged protective barriers could not hold for long.

Although the musketeers were shooting into the sky, it was nearly ineffective, and so far, they had not been able to bring down any Griffin Knights.

Rafael was also in a difficult position at that moment, with the Griffin Knights dispersed throughout the entire capital. If he sent out too many people for rescue, the well-rested Holy See’s elite corps waiting outside the city would not hesitate to launch a full assault—they were probably waiting for just this opportunity!

The drumbeats on the battlefield, which had quieted down, began to sound again, and the previously immovable army of the Heavenly Punishment started to approach slowly, putting pressure on those stationed atop the walls. There were still dozens of Griffin Knights circling above them in the sky, occasionally diving to attack the barriers overhead, or throwing down oil from afar before turning to flee.

Some wizards from the Shaping Science school were annoyed and wanted to transform into flying creatures to engage in close combat with the Griffin Knights in the sky, but Rafael and others quickly stopped them. The opponents were too numerous, and reckless aerial combat would only lead to their encirclement and death.

"Should we use it now?" Anthony asked cautiously.

"Not yet!" Lynn shook his head. He certainly knew Anthony was referring to the newly developed laser magic, but so far, only eleven people had learned it. By surprising the enemy, they might be able to kill a portion of the Griffin Knights, but then the enemy would definitely be wary next time.

However, it was time to end this chaos!

Lynn looked up at the sky; a large amount of data flashed through his mind. The position and movements of every Griffin Knight had been constructed into three-dimensional models, and with the analysis of his intelligent mind, their action trajectories and potential escape directions were laid bare.

[Magic - Bombardment]

With a thought, hundreds of magic missiles, each thirty centimeters in diameter, appeared in the void.

The sudden action from Lynn gave a glimmer of hope to the troubled wizards who had never been let down by this famed Magic Star.

The Griffin Knights flying in the sky also noticed the magic fluctuations below and began to rise in altitude.

"Come on, show me what you’ve got!" Alder’s face displayed a ferocious smile, as he had been immensely focused on the blasphemer mentioned by Edwell, so when he saw Lynn spring into action, he couldn’t help but get excited.

In the blink of an eye, the magic missiles whistled toward the griffins soaring in the sky, racing at a speed of 200 meters per second, and tracing bizarre arcs through the air.

As higher magical beasts, griffins possessed excellent resistance to magic power and keen danger awareness. Together with their knights, they moved like agile fish, darting through the gaps woven by the magic missiles.

Alder, who wasn’t a professional Griffin Knight, after dodging a few magic missiles, cast a Divine Barrier, blocking all the remaining attacks.

"Is that all?" Alder’s previously tense mind suddenly relaxed. The number and speed of the magic were indeed troublesome, and there were not a few Griffin Knights like him who were hit by the missiles, but the power was too weak; they couldn’t break through the Divine Protection enveloping them!

Alder laughed, about to fly down to provoke those wizards, but the moment he touched the reins, his hand was shocked.

The golden fur of the griffin beneath him bristled slightly as well, releasing a series of uneasy squawks...

"It seems to be a failure!" Seeing that Lynn hadn’t managed to bring down even one Griffin Knight, Sanchez sighed and shook his head. Using apprentice-level Magic Missiles like these, wasn’t that a joke?

However, Anthony, who was proficient in Thunder Magic, sensed something different.

"Join in, Anthony. They have many numbers, the magic’s power will be dispersed!" said Lynn as he raised his hand, and a spark of lightning flickered at his fingertips.

Anthony also cooperated without hesitation, and lightning flickered around him...

"Thunder Prison—Lightning Storm!" "Heavenly Punishment—Thunder Judgment!"

Two powerful Thunder Magic spells almost simultaneously shot towards the sky.

Lightning is fast, but it still needs a medium to propagate, and the conductivity of air is poor, which was why Anthony hadn’t recklessly used Lightning Magic for air defense.

But now, the situation was different. Lynn had forcibly created a large electromagnetic domain with hundreds of Magic Missiles!

The griffins in the high skies, sensing danger, frantically flapped their wings trying to escape the area, but their reputed speed and agility were insignificant in the face of lightning’s spread!

Accompanied by two violent thunderclaps, in just a brief second, a massive Thunder Net that enveloped the nearby airspace had formed, with blue-purple lightning occupying the entire field of vision. The Divine Barriers on their bodies were instantly shattered, the rampant electric current surged directly into their bodies, and the knights within the Electromagnetic Domain were electrocuted into charcoal…

Even the griffins, with their strong resistance to magic, couldn’t escape being roasted alive!

Even those Griffin Knights on the outskirts, who weren’t fully affected, were struck by stray arcs of electricity and rigidly fell from the sky, and amid shrill screams and wails, it began to rain griffins...

Many were even more unlucky to fall into the houses they had just bombed with oil, ending up as clumps of charred flesh amidst the paralysis of the lightning and the scalding heat of the fire…
