I Pioneered Scientific Magic C.344: Thundering Net Covering the Capital!

As Lynn explained what oil was, similar magical barriers rose across the towering towers, sealed factories, and above the capital, shielding it from the falling firestorm.

To prevent rebel attacks during intense combat and the potential destruction of granaries, armories, or even large-scale explosions, Lynn ensured alchemists placed magical defenses at crucial points. Many were assigned to guard these locations.

This explained the mere presence of ten thousand riflemen and a few hundred official wizards on the city walls—others were deployed for reinforcement.

Seeing the minimal impact of the oil attacks, some griffin riders descended, using their claws to disrupt the magical barriers. Their claws were effective against magic, leaving scratches on the barriers.

Others redirected their focus to surrounding homes. The scorching oil ignited roofs and streets, setting the city ablaze.

"Damn it!" Hatar, anxious as flames spread, urgently urged Lynn and others to dispatch aid. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

While he cared little for the peasants' fates, the palace was a key concern. Thirty griffin riders patrolled the skies above, the previously established defenses hardly lasting.

Riflemen aimed at the sky but were largely ineffective, unable to take down a single griffin rider.

Raphael faced a dilemma. The scattered griffin riders across the capital posed a problem. Sending too many for rescue risked the elite forces outside seizing the opportunity for an attack.

The once calm battlefield echoed with drums again. The disciplined divine soldiers edged closer, pressuring those on the walls. Dozens of griffin riders circled above, intermittently swooping down, attacking the protective barrier or dropping oil before darting away.

Some shape-shifting wizards attempted to transform into flying creatures, intending to combat the griffin riders. However, Raphael halted this plan. Their sheer numbers would lead to a fatal aerial assault.

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

"Not yet." Lynn shook his head, aware that Anthony referred to their newly developed laser magic. Only eleven had mastered it so far. A surprise attack might eliminate some griffin riders, but it would make them cautious next time.

But this chaos had to end!

Lynn glanced skyward. A surge of data flooded his mind, constructing three-dimensional models of every griffin rider's position and movements. With the aid of his intellect, their actions and potential escape routes were laid bare.

"Magic - Barrage!"

In an instant, hundreds of 30-centimeter magical missiles materialized in the void.

Lynn's sudden action instilled a glimmer of hope in the troubled wizards. This renowned magical luminary had never disappointed them.

The flying griffin riders noticed the magical fluctuations below, ascending higher.

"Let's see what you've got!" Arno, eager after hearing about the blasphemer mentioned by Edweil, became excited upon witnessing Lynn's action.

In a flash, the magical missiles hurtled towards the sky at 200 meters per second, tracing eerie arcs in midair.

Griffins, as high-level magical creatures, possessed strong magical resistance and danger perception. Coupled with the knights, they maneuvered like agile fish, weaving through the magical missile barrage.

Arno, not a seasoned griffin rider, dodged several magical missiles before casting a divine shield, blocking the remaining attacks.

"Is that all?" His tense demeanor relaxed. The quantity and speed of the magic were indeed troublesome, and while several griffin riders were hit, the power was insufficient to breach their divine shields!

Arno laughed, about to descend and taunt the wizards again, but as he touched the reins, his entire hand received an electric shock.

Beneath him, the griffin's golden fur bristled, emitting uneasy chirps.

"It seems like a failure!" Seeing Lynn couldn't down even one griffin rider, Sanchez sighed. Apprentice-level magical missiles against them? It was almost comical.

Anthony, a thunder magic expert, sensed something different.

"Join in, Anthony. Their numbers will dilute the magic's power!" Lynn said, raising his hand, a hint of lightning crackling at his fingertips.

Without hesitation, Anthony coordinated, a corona of lightning enveloping him.

"Thunder Abyss—Storm of Lightning!""Divine Punishment—Judgment of Thunder!"

Two powerful thunder magic spells nearly simultaneously flew into the sky.

Lightning, despite its speed, needed a medium for propagation. Air conductivity was poor, hence Anthony's hesitation to use lightning magic for aerial defense.

But the circumstances were different now. Lynn, using hundreds of magical missiles, artificially created a vast electromagnetic field!

The soaring griffins sensed danger, frantic to escape this area. Their famed speed and agility meant little against the spread of lightning!

With two deafening thunderclaps, within a second, a colossal thunderstorm web enveloped the surrounding airspace. Blue-purple lightning dominated the entire view, rupturing their magical barriers instantly. Rampaging currents surged into their bodies, turning the knights within the electromagnetic field to cinders...

Even the highly magic-resistant griffins couldn't escape the fate of being electrocuted to a crisp!

Those not entirely within the thunderstorm received scattered electric arcs, stiffening before plummeting from the sky. Amidst shrieks and wails, a storm of griffins rained down.

Many unlucky ones fell into the houses they had recently doused in oil, turning into charred masses amidst the paralysis of lightning and the blaze...
