I Pioneered Scientific Magic

Chapter 261: Is Raydell the Messenger of God?

"Lynn opened his mouth and said, 'The second method is to learn magic.'"

"Magic? Now?" Raydell paused involuntarily, naturally intrigued by immensely powerful and miraculous magic.

During this period, Lynn occasionally stuffed his mind with a lot of novel knowledge, seemingly called physics, chemistry, and mathematics... supposedly the basic courses required to become a wizard.

In his spare time, Raydell would also skim through these subjects roughly. The knowledge was extremely addictive, from the motion of objects to the formation of everything in the world. Perhaps this was how the world appeared through the eyes of a wizard: everything operated according to certain rules, and magic was the replication of these objective laws.

"But you previously mentioned that my magical talent was quite limited," Raydell asked in confusion. "Learning magic now might be too late, isn't it?"

"I have a way to make you a spellcaster in a short period. However, this is an experiment, and I don't guarantee its success," Lynn said bluntly.

"Bring it on!" Raydell took a deep breath, mentally preparing himself, feeling a sudden pang in his brain, as if someone were vigorously stirring it with a pickaxe.

Though Raydell was just an ordinary person without magical abilities, his will had been greatly strengthened through the 'dream world' trials, far surpassing that of an average person. The discomfort caused by forcibly breaking through mental barriers was especially apparent.

Despite Raydell having a certain magical talent, enabling someone to gain casting abilities in a short time was not an easy feat.

The most crucial factor lay in where the magic power came from. Even a wizard's apprentice couldn't perform more than a few basic spells, let alone someone who wasn't even an apprentice like Raydell.

Lynn chose a clever way. He had inscribed his mastered magic within the magic domain, creating numerous spell slots.

Thus, Raydell could connect deeply with the intellect and release magic.

This was Lynn's attempt to explore the secrets of divine arts!

Just as the mental frequency decryption reached fifty percent, Raydell suddenly felt his brain seemingly explode. His consciousness entered an incredibly mysterious realm, floating in a space filled with countless gray runes that were incomprehensible 'lines'...

While Raydell was amazed, two runes at the bottom suddenly lit up, and at the same time, corresponding information appeared in his mind. Lynn's voice also echoed synchronously.

"These are first-tier spells: [Lightning Summoning] and [Thunder Strike]!"

"First-tier spells?" Raydell was somewhat surprised. Didn't Lynn mention that the bishop was a second-tier divine practitioner? Wouldn't these two first-tier spells alone be insufficient to defeat him?

"The strength of magic cannot always be simply determined by tiers. Some specific spells, harnessing natural forces, can yield quite effective results," Lynn explained. "Like now!"

As Lynn's words fell, a thunderous sound resonated in the sky.

"Do you remember the physics knowledge I transmitted to you? About the formation of lightning?" Lynn smiled as he spoke.

The reason why lightning strikes from thousands of meters in the sky to the ground is due to the accumulation of electrons in the clouds, elevating the electric potential. When the electric potential reaches a certain level, it ionizes the molecules between the clouds and the ground, creating positive and negative charges that attract each other, resulting in the lightning's descent.

However, air isn't a good conductor, so most lightning is interrupted in the air and doesn't reach the ground.

The [Lightning Summoning] spell utilizes this principle by manipulating the ground's electric field to control lightning formation.

Guided by Lynn's explanation, Raydell quickly attempted it. Although the first-tier spell had a very weak impact on the electric field, it was sufficient. After all, lightning would always descend through the easiest ionization path!

The next moment, under Raydell's guidance, a fierce thunderclap resounded around them. It was the explosion caused by lightning piercing the air!

But the lightning was faster than the sound!

An intense white beam instantly broke through the clouds, plummeting straight from the sky!

However, being a novice at spellcasting, Raydell's first attempt was slightly off-target, failing to hit anyone. Instead, the descending lightning struck the ground, creating a large hole in the sturdy bricks.

Everyone present halted their actions, evidently stunned by the sudden appearance of lightning.

"Divine punishment, this is divine punishment!" the bishop shouted loudly, while the priests beside him were jubilant. They believed it was either their devout prayers or the sacrilegious actions of these miners that had drawn the wrath of the true god, summoning lightning from the sky.

Compared to the jubilant bishop and priests, Ham and the others turned pale, displaying looks of shock and fear. Some even dropped their mining drafts on the ground, kneeling and praying for the goddess's forgiveness.

"Great Goddess of the Moon, please unleash your wrath upon these blasphemers before us!" The bishop's emotions reached an extreme point as he raised his arms, shouting loudly towards the sky.

"Then go meet your goddess!" Raydell roared, pointing towards the bishop and casting [Lightning Summoning].

In an instant, a blinding light descended again, the might of nature!

The bishop, with outstretched arms, gazing up at the sky, praying for divine intervention, also witnessed the dazzling light. A high-voltage lightning bolt pierced through their helpless [Holy Barrier], its immense current instantly piercing through the bishop's entire body.

Everything happened too quickly. At the moment of facing death, the bishop's face still held traces of excitement and joy!

Seeing the lightning from the sky turn the bishop into a charred corpse, resembling divine punishment, the priests, who had been devoutly praying, were dumbfounded. Could it be that the great lord of the stars, the goddess of the moon, had completely forsaken them?

The faith of several priests seemed to show signs of collapse, yet Raydell showed no mercy. He immediately commanded Ham and the others, who had just awakened from their reverie, to use crossbows to kill the remaining priests.

Despite using [Lightning Summoning] twice consecutively, which consumed magic directly from the magic domain, the mental exhaustion made Raydell's brain ache slightly.

The miners on the field gazed at Raydell in shock, astonishment, and awe.

A thought flashed through Ham's mind: Could it be that Raydell was the messenger of God? Otherwise, how could he summon lightning from the heavens?
