I Created Scientific Magic-Chapter 134 - 121 Lynn: I was just tricking you, dummy! (Please subscribe)

North’s expression gradually shifted from fierce and angry to a chilling stillness as the magic power scattering around him was quickly gathered and channeled into the dozens of armor suits that were displayed around the banquet hall, looking like mere decorations.

Under the combined effect of magic power and spiritual energy, these lifeless objects came to life like true guards, swinging their giant axes and bows, and began to march in unison toward Lynn.

"Turn stone to mud!"

Lynn dodged five incoming arrows and then raised his hand toward the ground. Under the sweep of the magic ripple, rows of floor tiles were transformed into fine grains of sand and stone.

The sprinting spiritual guardians fell right into the sandy ground like tumbling gourds, and immediately, the magic-imbued sands began to pile up.

Spiritual Magic — "Summoning Sphinx"

Lynn, imitating North, used his not-so-proficient spiritual magic to compress piles of sand and stone into a monster with the upper body of a human and the lower half resembling a mighty lion.

However, since it was his first attempt at this novel feat, the Sphinx’s appearance was quite twisted, looking like a model sculpted by a child. After knocking away a few of the attacking spiritual guardians with its fists, it was subsequently blown apart by a "Flame Burst Skill," losing half of its body...

"Magic - Bombardment"

Realizing that the half-baked spiritual spells couldn’t offer much help in combat, Lynn returned to using his most proficient magic. Dozens of shimmering missiles hovered in the air like a dense volley of arrows, covering most of the banquet hall.

With a series of booming sounds, the remaining spiritual guardians were shattered into pieces, then slammed against the robust "Magic Barrier" behind them.

Each one was like a shell, exploding upon impact against the magical shield.

In just two seconds, the sturdy "Magic Barrier" was covered in cracks, and just as the barrier was about to shatter, North opened his mouth.

A piercing sonic wave echoed continuously within the banquet hall, and the dozen "Magic Missiles" that were about to strike the barrier instantly burst apart. Lynn’s figure paused for a moment, his actions frozen in place.

That was the "Soul Scream"!

Seeing Lynn’s conspicuous pause, North immediately understood that his opponent’s soul power was not as strong as his own, and promptly raised the scepter in his hand.

"Magic Impact"

The intricate runes at the top of the scepter lit up one by one, and then a powerful beam of magic power shot out, directly targeting Lynn who was immobilized under the influence of "Soul Scream"!

However, North quickly discovered, to his horror, that Lynn, who should have been unable to move, was effortlessly raising his arm. A wisp of faint flame gathered at his fingertips, followed swiftly by the fire expanding and solidifying into a massive hand of a rage deity, made of endless flames, clashing with the oncoming beam of magic power.

The violent White Phosphorus Fire instantly devoured the magic-constructed beam, fiercely striking upon the already crumbling magical barrier.

"Crack—"

A crisp sound followed; the entire magic barrier shattered with a thunderous crash, and then the hand of the rage deity swept through every inch of the banquet hall with unstoppable force, destroying everything in its path in an instant, and finally charged toward North at the rear.

North only had time to release a "Mage Shield" before he was engulfed in scorching flames.

A shrill scream quickly emerged from the roaring inferno, and the frail "Mage Shield" obviously could not withstand the "White Phosphorus - Flame Demon Hand" spell, which had reached the limit of third-tier magic. Within moments, the white phosphorus flames made intimate contact with North’s flesh.

It was like a hellfire greedily clinging to the body, using flesh as nourishment, eroding every inch of his skin.

The originally excellent rate at which his body regenerated now became a form of torture. Amidst constant repair and destruction, North’s mind was nearly on the verge of collapse, his magic power was rapidly depleted, and the speed of his bodily recovery slowed down more and more.

It was only then that Lynn raised his hand, extinguishing the white phosphorus flames completely.

North’s body was burned beyond recognition, almost indistinguishable from a dried corpse, yet his vast spiritual energy enabled him to maintain his last shred of consciousness. His bloodshot eyes were fixed on Lynn, seemingly still unable to comprehend how his adversary suddenly broke free from the bind of "Soul Scream."

"I was deceiving you just now, you fool," Lynn said coldly.

After drinking a "Magic Source" potion made from the Death’s Eye Spirit Essence and becoming a spiritual magic user, his soul power was no less significant than North’s, who had devoured a large amount of soul energy.

Therefore, when North used "Soul Scream," Lynn was affected to some extent, but not to the point where he couldn’t move or cast spells.

Pretending to be under control was all to make North let down his guard, thereby casting the most powerful spell for a fatal blow...

North’s eyes bulged with crimson fury, blood trickling from the corners of his mouth as his body began to convulse, seemingly trying to say something; but as soon as he opened his mouth, the last bit of life faded away.

"Could it be that he died of anger?" Lynn shook his head, stepped forward, placed his right hand on North’s scorching head, and initiated a spiritual magic spell, preparing to search through the latter’s memories.

But he quickly discovered that North’s memories were in disarray and dissipating rapidly.

It appeared that the one who laid down this formation ultimately could not escape the fate of being devoured himself...

Lynn looked at the nonresponsive cerebral device and immediately confirmed his speculation.

The cerebral device converted and absorbed spiritual bodies into energy with certain restrictions: besides needing to be very close, there seemed to be a requirement for strength... Considering that the transformed energy reserve never exceeded ten percent, those directly captured and absorbed must be the souls of Wizard Apprentices, and they had to be out of their physical bodies.

As he pondered, a series of explosions came from outside the banquet hall.

Lynn’s expression remained unchanged; he had stealthily used liquid bombs controlled by rats and crows to destroy several nodes of the manor’s formation.

However, Lynn soon found that things were not progressing as he had anticipated. The Soul Devouring Array, which had enveloped the entire banquet hall, was not ending but spreading to the outside world.

Hearing the explosions and hastily rushing to the formation nodes, a group of guards suddenly fell to the ground with pained expressions. Blue glows emerged from their bodies and then disappeared into the ground...

Not only that, but the patrolling hounds in the manor, the horses and camels in the stables, also couldn’t escape the fate of having their souls extracted.

The devouring formation, now grown stronger, flickered with a dark green glow, surging towards the entire southern district...
