I Created Scientific Magic - Chapter 20

Chapter 20: This Must Be the Power of the Devil, the Flames of Hell!

Translator: Lonelytree

Could it be that their efforts were all in vain?

Under Barker’s gaze, the sky full of sparks quickly scattered across the entire area!

[Holy Word-Shield]

After breaking free from the effects of [Soul Shriek], Aaron immediately cast a divine protective spell.

A white light shield appeared in the air in the shape of a half-ring. Sparks fell on it, corroding holes in the light shield.

Just the remnants of magic that had been weakened by a hundred times had such power?

If the giant fireball from before had directly hit him, Aaron was very sure that he would not have been able to block it!

Just as he was relieved, incomparably miserable screams rang out in the castle. Aaron turned his head and looked over, and his entire person was stunned on the spot.

Compared to the priests who practiced divine spells, the guards had not even recovered from the impact of [Soul Shriek] and had sparks attaching themselves to their armor, shields, bows, and exposed limbs and faces.

The terror of the white phosphorous fire was revealed in the next second. The weak flames began to spread rapidly after coming into contact with the material. Large holes were burned in the leather shoulder pads and gloves. The yellow-white flames seemed to be attracted by flesh and blood, directly seeping into the skin below.

“Ah!” A Shieldbearer desperately patted his chest, trying to extinguish the white phosphorous flames that were gradually spreading. However, the result of doing so was that his arm was also ignited. In a few breaths, half of his body was lit into a torch…

The companion beside him was even more miserable. The sparks of fire fell directly into the gaps in the armor. The high temperature of more than a thousand degrees made him unable to help but scream. He forcefully tore off the armor with both hands and stuffed his right hand into his body. He actually pulled out a bloody, burning piece of meat…

Flesh and corpses were the best nourishment for the white phosphorous flame, and the fire quickly spread.

The burning sea of fire, the billowing white smoke, and the twisted and terrifying soldiers. This scene was as if hell had descended on the human world…

“Devil, this must be the power of the devil, the flames from hell!”

Such a terrifying scene made the elite Nordland guards completely collapse. The first-circle divine spell [Eliminate Fear] had completely lost its effect. A priest who was lucky enough to escape the attack of the flames shouted at the top of his lungs. He threw away the scepter in his hand and fled without looking back.

Joni and the others were also stunned. They almost forgot that Lin En had instructed them to hold their breath and use magic to obtain oxygen from the air.

“What spell is this?” Barker shivered deeply. He only needed to get a little closer to feel the pain, as if his bones were being burned.

“This is the Fireball Spell. Don’t you know it too? I only modified it slightly!” Lin En also noticed everyone’s shocked gazes and explained.

This was called slightly?

Barker’s expression became very strange. He felt that Lin En’s understanding of this term might be different from his.

Joni was a little suspicious that Lin En might have broken through that barrier and become an official mage.

However, it had only been half a year since Lin En had started learning magic. This was a little too exaggerated…Moreover, their teacher, Kru, had always been poor. How could he have so much money to buy a Mana Pool?

Compared to the complicated thoughts of Joni and Barker, Barton’s thoughts were very simple. It turned out that these mage apprentices could be so powerful when they joined forces!

Barton even felt that as long as everyone worked together, it wouldn’t be too difficult to deal with the Church’s pursuit.

Just as he was thinking, a dazzling white light shone from afar, breaking through the barrier of flames and attacking the group of mage apprentices.

The distracted Barton only saw his brother Barker anxiously opening his mouth to say something to him. Then, he felt as if his body had been sent flying by a powerful impact. His thin body was torn apart in the air, and he rolled a few times in the air before falling to the ground like a rag doll. In an instant, he was dead.

The sudden turn of events caused the expressions of Joni and the others to freeze. Barker’s face gradually twisted as he shouted at the top of his lungs.

“No, Barton!”

The moment the white light appeared, Lin En made his move. Twelve [Magic Bullets] surrounded him, drawing a strange arc in the air and shooting toward the end of the corridor.

In the end, more than ten Magic Bullets were blocked by an invisible wall. Only ripples could be seen when they collided.

Lin En’s heart sank as he stared at the other side of the sea of fire. He knew that the person he had been waiting for had finally appeared, and his strength was far more terrifying than he had imagined!

Suddenly, a melodious hymn sounded in the castle. An invisible force gradually enveloped the entire place, and it began to drizzle in the sealed room!

This was the third circle divine spell, [Life Hymn]!

The green raindrops contained extremely powerful divine power. The terrifying flames that seemed to come from hell were gradually suppressed!

The white phosphorous fire that seemed to be burning everything quickly faded away. In a white gilded robe, Antioch slowly walked in.

“Lord Bishop!”

Aaron, who had the fastest reaction on the battlefield and was also lucky enough to escape the range of the spark, shouted excitedly, but there was a hint of resentment and hatred hidden in his words.

How could Aaron not have guessed that the bishop had been paying attention to the battle?

Obviously, he and the elite guards of Nordland Hill were just tools used to test the other party’s strength and trump cards!

Aaron’s heart turned cold. He knew that after this matter was over, as the on-the-spot commander, he would definitely be severely punished.

Ignoring Aaron, Antioch looked at the soldiers on the ground who had been killed or injured. His pupils constricted because the flames that had been extinguished immediately showed signs of rekindling after the divine spell [Life Hymn] ended!

This was the White Phosphorous Fire. As long as the oxygen in the air was not exhausted and there were still objects that could be burned, it would never stop!

“Don’t linger in battle. Retreat!”

After the attack of [Magic Missile] failed, Lin En made his choice without hesitation.

The giant fireball spell that took more than five seconds to cast had already consumed most of the white phosphorous that he had created. The remaining white phosphorous was not enough to defeat the bishop, who had cast a powerful divine spell.

Joni and Pigeon were also very clear about the terror of Antioch. Even though they were extremely heartbroken by Barton’s death, they knew that the only way to survive now was to escape.

But Barker, who had lost his brother, had gone mad. He opened his mouth and let out a furious roar. He grabbed a relatively intact guard’s corpse on the ground and used it as a shield before charging at Antioch.
