Chapter 192: 192 - Electromagnetic Railgun
After about five seconds of incantation, aided by renewed power, Ogest unleashed the second legendary magic - Finger of Annihilation. It was a dazzling red light, carrying the might to obliterate everything, crashing directly into the circular barrier formed by alchemical runes.
Almost instantly, the Sixth Tier Magic, Victor's Barrier, shattered. Countless vengeful spirits, previously held at bay, shrieked as they rushed in. The racing light surged forward, aiming directly at Lynn.
The crimson light, capable of erasing all, reminded Lynn of Archbishop Anluke's [Heaven's Judgment]. However, the disparity in their power was staggering.
For the individuals present, legendary magic seemed an insurmountable gap. Yulande, Phillip, and the others had sunk into despair.
"Sigh..."
Suddenly, a faint sigh echoed.
Immediately, a fiery red figure stood before Lynn. Perhaps due to the lightning speed of the light, Aurora couldn't even cast a defensive spell in time and was instantly struck by the red light.
However, a clearer voice followed.
[Mirror Shift]
The destructive red light, like sunlight passing through a mirror, altered its course, scattering in the opposite direction. It collided head-on with numerous vengeful spirits, dissolving rapidly within the dazzling radiance, their wails turning into a sky full of ashes.
"Aurora?." Ogest's expression shifted abruptly. He involuntarily retreated several steps. The sudden appearance of this legendary witch undoubtedly caught him off guard. His gaze quickly scanned the surroundings, searching for the other two legendary wizards.
Although Ogest did not fear these so-called legends, he was aware that he had just crossed the limit of a grand wizard, breaking into a higher echelon.
As per his expectations, it would require the divine realm to expand throughout the entirety of Greenville, devouring the mad Elemental Master, Altok, before he would amass enough power to confront the three legendary wizards together.
"Aurora, my lady?"
While Aurora's sudden appearance startled Ogest, it was a pleasant surprise for Yulande and the others.
However, Lynn and Raphael were the first to notice that this legendary witch seemed to be in a dire state. Her exposed arm resembled porcelain, covered in intricate cracks.
Moreover, these dense cracks were rapidly spreading across her entire body. Accompanied by faint cracking sounds, her arm, clothes, cheeks—fragmented and fell, turning into fine powder.
"Master Aurora, are you... alright?" Witnessing this eerie sight, Yulande and the others widened their eyes, anxiously inquiring.
"It seems this is my limit." Aurora shook her head in resignation. Then, her lips moved slightly, seemingly saying something. Among everyone present, only Lynn could hear.
"Please stall for a bit longer with this magic, just a minute."
Following Aurora's dissolution, a beautifully crafted round mirror tumbled and fell to the ground. The once flawless mirror surface was now shattered into fragments.
To Lynn's astonishment, it was the same mirror he had handed over to Harof after the accolade ceremony.
Finally, Lynn understood why Aurora had continuously mentioned her limited power—it wasn't a ruse.
Simultaneously, the residual magic from this embodiment surged into his forehead, and a gray magic rune quickly appeared in his mind. It was Aurora's magic—called "True Illusions."
"It's merely the projection of power transmitted through a medium..." Ogest swiftly realized. A sardonic smile tugged at his lips as he turned towards Lynn and the others, a menacing expression adorning his face.
Lynn hadn't anticipated this legendary witch's unreliability. Still, he pondered the usage of this magic and forcibly, with a composed tone, spoke, "If Aurora left an embodiment here, do you think the Councilors would remain unaware of the events unfolding in Greenville?"
"Didn't you notice the tremors on the surface?" Lynn suddenly remarked.
Ogest, suspicious, extended his senses, and his expression darkened. "Are you trying to deceive me?"
"I'm not... just that you might not have sensed it," Lynn smiled. In those few seconds, he had already grasped the functionality of the "True Reflection."
"Let's try the gifts left by the other Councilors." Lynn said as he activated the gray rune in his mind. A mark appeared on his pristine forehead—the spot where Aurora had kissed him during the ceremony.
An aura almost equal to that of legendary wizards emanated from Lynn. Arcs of electricity shimmered around him, and a terrifying magnetic field formed almost instantaneously.
Everyone felt an unbearable pressure. Philip and others closer to Lynn had their hair stand on end due to the electrical currents.
Then, Lynn raised his hand, pointing at Ogest in the distance. A solid iron sphere materialized in the void, trembling under the magnetic constraints...
"Thunder, magnetism?" Ogest's complexion altered slightly. Wizards had indeed researched this kind of magic in the land of wizards, but controlling thunder was exceedingly difficult due to its swiftness—too fast to imagine.
Unless predicted in advance, any attempt to evade was futile...
"I call it—[Electromagnetic Railgun]" Lynn's words resounded. The iron sphere, constrained by magnetism, suddenly accelerated, transforming into a silver streak, and pulverizing everything in its path.
The ground tiles shattered rapidly, and the sonic boom shattered Lynn's Mage Shield. Philip and Kevin, beside him, were covering their ears, almost having their eardrums ruptured.
The so-called electromagnetic cannon utilized Ampere's force from the electromagnetic field to accelerate metallic projectiles, providing the necessary kinetic energy to strike the target.
The method of attack was a simple collision.
And its speed was twenty times the speed of sound, nearing 7000 meters per second.
The scorching heat began dissolving the iron sphere the moment it was launched. The silver streak swiftly turned crimson, directly colliding with Ogest.
