I Created Scientific Magic

"Retreat, retreat quickly!" "Everybody dodge!"

The roaring of thunder resounded in the skies above the entire royal capital, and the spreading Thunder Net was clearly visible both inside and outside the royal capital, instantly enveloping hundreds of Griffin Knights. Arm-thick arcs of electricity continued to sprawl outwards.

The Griffin Knights circling above various parts of the royal capital were so frightened that they flew thousands of meters high, not daring to linger at low altitudes for even a moment.

Looking up at the Electromagnetic Domain overhead, its tangible oppressiveness made the hairs of the Wizards present stand on end.

They had not expected that Master Lynn had still had such a move up his sleeve…

Sanchez, who had been quick to speak earlier, was now so embarrassed he could not say a word. Just a second ago, he had said that the opponent’s magic wouldn’t have much effect, but in the next, Lynn’s Thunder Net had brought down all the Griffin Knights.

Truly worthy of the title ’Star of Magic’... Sanchez couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, admitting that his own understanding and creativity in magic paled in comparison to Lynn’s, whose ability to adapt on the spot was simply peerless.

No wonder Lynn looked not the slightest bit worried facing the harassment of these Griffin Knights.

"Go and capture some prisoners, there must be some still alive. Extinguish the fires by the way. They probably won’t dare to come down again for a while!" Lynn dropped his hand and casually instructed.

Glenn and the others, upon receiving the order, nodded. On the spot, fifty official Wizards were delegated, leading over a thousand musketeers to extinguish fires and capture prisoners.

With the airborne threat temporarily eliminated, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Headmaster, if this Thunder Magic is so powerful, then why didn’t we take the chance to shoot down all those Griffin Knights when they were gathered together just now?" Ailoke asked with a hint of regret.

"The power of lightning can be dispersed. These Griffin Knights are not easy to deal with; they have high magic resistance. Even with third-tier magic, it requires a direct hit to pose enough threat to be lethal…" Lynn simply explained.

He didn’t explain another factor: though the casting seemed simple at the time, building an Electromagnetic Domain large enough to encompass all the enemies in the air required relevant data as support.

The Griffin Knights’ frequent provocations in the sky were a test of their spell-casting range but also exposed their own flight and evasion data, all of which were recorded in the databanks of the intelligence cores.

Lynn was waiting for the moment when the Griffin Knights, thinking they were in a safe area, started to let down their guard. That was when he struck, dealing them a heavy blow.

Although the victory this time was substantial, Lynn did not underestimate this elite force of the church. Instead, he raised their threat level up a notch.

According to the data provided by the intelligence cores, these Griffins, even while carrying a person and burdened with quite a bit of oil, could fly at speeds approaching eighty kilometers per hour. In a diving acceleration, they could even surpass one hundred thirty kilometers per hour. The standard speed for the third-generation airship is one hundred fifty kilometers per hour, so the difference is not that significant.

And the riders on their backs could almost all use simple Divine Arts. Coupled with the Griffins’ extremely swift and agile speed, they even had the capability to kill an official Wizard in a one-on-one combat!

Each Griffin Knight taken alone was formidable, let alone when they launched a collective attack from the sky.

If it were not for their fear of these Wizards’ magic, just these eight hundred Griffin Knights would have been enough to set the entire royal capital ablaze and slaughter all the defending troops here.

Only the church could afford to train Griffins, such powerful magical beasts, on such a large scale for warfare.

Having already encountered one of the two elite forces, the Griffin Knight Order, he found them indeed to be no small matter. Now, he was left wondering, what would the Punishment Army look like?

With this thought, Lynn turned his gaze to the silver-armored guard marching in formation in the distance and said thoughtfully,

"Prepare the electromagnetic cannon! What comes around goes around, let these people witness the power of magic!"

...

On the other end of the battlefield, Edwell, who was preparing to launch a full assault amidst the chaos caused by the Griffin Knights, had not anticipated a complete one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turnaround in the situation so suddenly.

The Griffin Knights, who had been strutting proudly and gaining the upper hand, were struck down by the sky filled with lightning bolts in the blink of an eye!

It all happened so fast, so fast that it had ended before they could even attempt to stop it!

"Another piece of unwritten magic!" Edwell’s expression couldn’t be discerned behind the iron mask, but his tone was ice-cold, it seemed those wizards holed up in Wizard Land had come up with quite a few novel things.

"Retreat, our offensive ends here for today!" Edwell issued the command without hesitation.

"But, Lord Edwell... Commander Arno was also struck down by the lightning and is still in the royal city," the deputy of the divine army spoke anxiously, his face filled with frustration.

Although he had never expected to conquer this solid city dominated by the Evil God’s Believers within one day, and the attack was primarily a probe, the losses could only be described as severe...

Over twenty thousand of the fifty thousand noble coalition forces had already perished, and most critically, hundreds of Griffin Knights had fallen, his heart was bleeding!

And the fruit of such a heavy sacrifice was merely setting a fire in the royal city, burning down some houses...

In his view, after several rounds of attrition, those wizards must have also expended a lot of their magic power, now was the perfect time for a full-scale attack!

"Now, convey my order, retreat!" Edwell emphasized his tone a bit.

"As for Arno, that Thunder Magic isn’t enough to kill him..."

Edwell said confidently. The spell Lynn released was indeed powerful, but its force had been dispersed throughout the entire airspace and into the bodies of hundreds of Griffin Knights. It was impossible to kill Arno, a cardinal archbishop, not to mention... even seriously wounding him would be difficult.

If Arno hadn’t caused a major disturbance in the city, that would suggest the other side had their own plans...

Edwell’s command displeased the congregation of archbishops. It was the first time they had taken such a loss against Believers of the Evil God, and now they even had to retreat in disgrace...

So much so that some suspected Edwell was using this opportunity to remove a rival.

After all, Arno was notoriously insubordinate, and acting on his own without orders was not a first...

But before the words of objection could be spoken, a powerful wave of magic power emanated from the walls of the royal city.

From such a distance, what were they trying to do?

The bishops were somewhat puzzled. The distance from here to the city gates was about one and a half kilometers, which should have exceeded the range of the cannons based on the earlier tests...
