I Pioneered Scientific Magic-Chapter 223: Anthony’s Lightning Storm!

"Roar~"

A beastly figure, part lion and part human, couldn't halt its charge. Its body pierced by several sharp spikes, a piercing howl echoed through the narrow alleyway.

Ebur raised his hand, casting a spell, blasting the creature away with a magical shockwave. In an instant, a searing fireball ignited in his palm, readying for a finishing blow.

A loud bang interrupted the momenta gunshot pierced through the mage's shield, narrowly missing Ebur's head.

Startled, Ebur stepped back, halting his fiery spell, reinforcing his defenses, then turned to the direction of the gunshot. The shooter, Lame Loude, held an odd-looking canea firearm specially modified by the alchemical workshop, a gift from the wizards who came to aid him days ago.

Though powerful, it had its limitationit could only shoot a single round at a time.

Loude, facing a wizard, cautiously tried to defuse the situation. "Dear wizard, let's not resort to violence. There must be a misunderstanding"

Upon discovering the tracker was a wizard, Loude sensed trouble. Wizards were generally enemies of the church, united by common interests.

"A misunderstanding?" Ebur, barely surviving twice, sneered, eyeing Loude's peculiar 'arcane device' warily, fearing unexpected tricks. He decided not to hold back, intending to subdue them for questioning.

Ebur pointed his index finger, summoning a blue lightning bolt. Loude, startled, hadn't anticipated the truth behind the rumorsthe wizards of Hadralta possessed the power of thunder manipulation.

In that moment of facing Ebur, Loude tightly grasped the ring Lynn had given him, screaming in his mind, "Lord Lynn, help!"

The azure lightning arrived unbelievably fast, almost reaching Ebur before his spell.

"Wall of Water!"

A familiar voice echoed beside Loude, conjuring a transparent water barrier, colliding with the lightning bolt, disintegrating into hydrogen and oxygen.

Lightning moves swiftly in air, almost impossible to dodge once cast. But Ebur's casting speed had limits, and Lynn's timely projection effortlessly shielded them.

Loude sat on the ground, overwhelmed with relief, realizing that not only did Lord Lynn hear his inner plea, but also came in person. Safety was finally assured!

"Wizard? Traitor?" Ebur's expression turned grim. He hadn't expected a wizard interference while tracking William's associate.

He scanned the situation. "I think we should talk, wizard," Lynn spoke amiably. Then, with a pause, added, "But we need to relocate. The gunshot might attract the city guard."

Ebur remained skeptical. He had seen Loude selling glassware, a known supporter of Prince Harold aligned with the churchlikely a lackey.

Summoning a stone golem, Ebur prepared for a clash. Lynn gestured to Loude, "Stay back but not too far!"

Confident in Lynn yet cautious of his lightning magic, Loude observed the battle. The golem charged, swinging a stone hammer at Lynn.

Unexpectedly, Lynn dodged without retaliation. But Ebur's magic was primed!

"Anthony's Lightning Storm!"

Terrifying currents coalesced in Ebur's hand. Lightning shot out like a web, engulfing Lynn and the golem.

The arcs devoured everything, crackling fiercely. Suspended in mid-air, Lynn seemed unaffected by the relentless lightning.

"How is this possible?" Ebur shouted in disbelief.

"No matter how powerful the magic, if it misses the true target, it's futile" Lynn's voice echoed from a different direction.

Lynn's magical projection had shifted with Loude, the former standing still an illusion.

Aurora's visual magic, orchestrated by Loude, was a spectacle beyond compare!
