I Pioneered Scientific Magic C.336: The Everlasting Flame that Devours All!

The grand wizards, unlike Eloke and the others, weren't particularly startled. They could discern that these copper nails, though intimidating, skillfully avoided vital areas.

The destructive power of high-level magic was always astounding. In battles among grand wizards, withholding such force was a feat in itself. After all, no one knew the adversary's capabilities or if they could withstand the onslaught.

"Is this Thunder Magic? Truly extraordinary..." Sanchez frowned involuntarily. Anthony's display of Thunderbolt was lightning-fast; even he might not have reacted in time.

Yet, Raphael hadn't anticipated the swift conclusion to this battle. It lasted, what, a mere second? Victory was swiftly decided...

He had expected a more prolonged skirmish, a chance to witness a spectacular fight. But alas, the gap in their strengths proved too vast!

"Do you think this looks like the end? This is merely the beginning!" Dennis, standing nearby, reminded them bluntly.

Following Dennis's prompt, those present noticed something peculiar about Lynn, who remained unfazed despite the pierced copper nails. His face betrayed no sign of pain, and no blood flowed from the pierced areas. Instead, they caught fire.

Yes, quite literally on fire!

Intense flames surged from Lynn's body, consuming everything—clothes, skin, flesh—all turned to fuel for the inferno. Not only that, the flames rapidly expanded, engulfing everything around, be it the yellow-orange copper nails or even lightning!

Anthony's pupils contracted. He sensed his control over magic slipping away, and to his disbelief, these flames devoured lightning!

"Breath of Flames..."

Before Anthony could contemplate, Lynn's voice emanated from the flames' midst.

Since the start of the battle, Lynn had employed Refractive Magic; what remained in place was merely a magical projection! The searing 'Everlasting Flame' consumed everything along its path, transforming into billowing waves of fire, surging towards Anthony.

"Vacuum Domain."

Anthony looked solemn. His domain swiftly expanded in all directions, stripping elements away. His magical energy transformed into a curtain of water, blocking the onslaught.

No air meant the fire would naturally extinguish!

And water was fire's nemesis!

This was common knowledge. Even observers like Raphael felt the same. However, this common knowledge failed now!

Within the vacuum domain, the 'Everlasting Flame' persisted, not only refusing to be extinguished upon contact with the water curtain but also consuming it, erupting with temperatures akin to the sun and exploding...

Anthony's face turned grim. With every step back, his magic instinctively converted into various elements. Yet, whether it was the shield formed from metallic elements, walls of sand, electromagnetic barriers—they all lost their efficacy!

Their fate was no different; sooner or later, they all turned into fodder, devoured by the flames...

In a blink, Anthony found himself enveloped in the sea of flames, with only the last barrier, made of serpent scales, remaining. He sensed its waning strength against the rapidly strengthening blaze.

In such a cycle, his strongest defense would crumble in at most half a minute...

"The once legendary figure... mastering such a terrifying fire magic," Anthony sighed inwardly, pushed to the brink so effortlessly.

Yet, Anthony didn't intend to surrender. There was another way to claim victory: direct assault on the spellcaster!

He had attempted seventeen types of elements, all succumbing to the flames' erosion. Yet, there was one more, more unique element that might work: light!

This thought flashed in Anthony's mind. In the next moment, a pure white beam surged through the roaring flames, piercing Lynn once more.

Obviously, it was another magical projection. Ever since mastering Advanced Illusion Arts, Lynn had honed his skills in this domain. And, in the enveloping 'Everlasting Flame,' Anthony couldn't precisely pinpoint Lynn's true position, but he didn't need to. Nothing could surpass the speed of light!

As the laser swept, iron railings and wooden stakes on the training ground were instantly severed, leaving perfectly neat cuts. Even a deep groove marked a distant wall...

"Stop, cease!" Raphael shouted in horror.

Anthony's laser ceased. What happened to Lynn, they didn't know, but Raphael wasn't concerned for his own safety; they stood beyond the battlefield, able to withstand the weakened laser.

However, Eloke and the other apprentice wizards might have been severed in half!

In Raphael's alarmed outcry, the glaring beam soon halted. Lynn, realizing the training ground couldn't endure their clash, prepared to extinguish the raging flames.

The 'Everlasting Flame' enveloping Anthony was suppressed. However, to Lynn's surprise, several flames remained, adhering uncontrollably across the training ground, showing signs of slipping his control.

Lynn furrowed his brow. Unlike white phosphorus, trichlorofluoromethane couldn't combust. Its flames derived from scavenging electrons from other elements, making it a derivative of fire.

During his experiments, he'd only created a fist-sized 'Everlasting Flame' he could deftly control with his mental strength. Now, having consumed a massive amount of fuel, it spiraled out of control.

Considering his options, Lynn forcefully separated the areas corroded by the flames using pure magical force, suspending them in the vacuum domain, allowing them to burn out slowly... He became vigilant; using this magic in the future required utmost caution.

The potency of this entity was indeed terrifying. It could subdue even a Hex-ring wizard like Anthony. However, a slight oversight could lead to self-repercussions; it was a double-edged sword...

At least, with his current mental prowess, Lynn couldn't fully control this hazardous element.

As the surrounding flames were stripped and extinguished, Anthony breathed a sigh of relief. He had almost met his end beneath the sea of fire.

Raphael and others traversed the pitted training ground. Sanchez, eager for answers, inquired.

"Master Lynn, was that truly fire magic you used just now? Or was it an illusion to the eyes? I saw it burning even within a vacuum..."
