I Created Scientific Magic-Chapter 137 - 124: Seizing the Magic Net! (Subscribe Please)

Lynn’s words made Helram pause, but this did not affect his judgment.

A Wizard Apprentice could never possess such an extent of secret knowledge. Compared to the so-called "Secret Magic Society," he was more convinced of the possibility of soul usurpation.

However, Helram did not continue to dwell on this topic and spoke in a deep voice, "In fact, I don’t care about your identity, and there is no malice in inviting you to join the ’Faceless.’ I only need one thing."

Lynn looked at the great wizard in surprise, not quite understanding his meaning.

"The method of perfect soul fusion!" Helram enunciated every word, then continued speaking, "You can set any conditions you wish, as long as I can fulfill them!"

Helram lowered his posture significantly and did not intend to act hastily.

Any great wizard is not easy to deal with. Since he could achieve soul fusion and conversion, his research on spiritual energy would only exceed my own!

"North is already dead, and if the council is not foolish, they can trace it back to you…" Lynn shook his head. A promise from a great wizard was undoubtedly tempting, but Helram’s assurances were meaningless, as he was currently in danger himself.

"And unfortunately, I don’t have what you’re talking about," Lynn stated bluntly.

"It seems you are not willing to cooperate…" Helram’s tone immediately turned cold; his elderly, hunched body straightened, and a strong wave of magic power emerged around him, enveloping the entire circular hall.

"Then I will have to do it myself, and find it in your brain!"

Helram’s gaze turned icy as he stepped forward, a sudden oppressive force weighing on Lynn’s mind.

This was a dual suppression both in terms of mental and magical power. Lynn immediately felt as if every element within the space had been contaminated by the opponent’s magic power, and his body seemed stuck in a quagmire, requiring many more times the usual energy for any movement.

This was the fourth-circle spell— "Slow Barrier"!

With every step Helram took forward, the density of the surrounding magic power increased. He raised his right hand towards Lynn, and the elements in the space became extremely active.

An indescribable sense of crisis surged into Lynn’s mind; the magic was unavoidable and had no possibility of resistance. At that instant, he even sensed the odor of death.

Facing an opponent potentially capable of soul fusion, Helram had no thoughts of holding back. His first move was a fifth-circle spell—"Magic Torrent"!

However, Lynn was waiting for the very moment when Helram applied full effort in casting!

He hesitated not a second, calling out in his mind.

’071, right now, immediately! Seize control of the Virtual Domain for me!’

In the expansive space, the swirling flow of elements seemed to suddenly halt, as did Helram’s advancing steps. This was because a pain as if his soul was being split assailed him fiercely.

The magic network was seized…

Shock and disbelief filled Helram’s face; he could clearly sense his connection to the Virtual Domain being completely severed, and the immense computing power that had been bolstering him instantly dissipated.

Even more crucial was the instant the spell was broken, the terrible backlash of the magic was projected onto his body…

"White Phosphorus - Flame Demon Hand!"

Lynn naturally wouldn’t give up this perilously hard-fought opportunity to attack!

He used his most powerful finishing move without hesitation!

Flames fiercely blazing, transformed into a massive hand of a magic deity, surged directly towards Helram. However, the scorching flames, upon nearly touching his body, parted like rapids blocked by boulders—split by some mysterious force.

Fourth Ring Spell—[Deflection Field]

But Helram, who was enduring backlash and casting again, now looked in terrible condition, with crimson blood spilling from the corners of his mouth and his aged, wrinkled skin cracking in places to reveal the shriveled flesh beneath.

"This is impossible!" Helram didn’t pay attention to his physical discomfort, his gaze fixed on Lynn, his eyes filled with disbelief.

The magic network was his greatest achievement after decades of research, linking the spiritual power of wizards. More crucially, it had nothing to do with the evil mage, Merck, and the source of its magic power was completely in his own hands. Now it had been easily wrested away by the opponent.

This completely overturned Helram’s understanding… unless the opponent was originally a legendary wizard…

Lynn didn’t respond, as he was currently experiencing the significant computing power enhancement brought by connecting to the spiritual energies of nine third-ring wizards.

It was a new world, where Lynn could clearly sense the flow of magic power, and even "saw" what he had been unable to see before—Helram’s immediate surroundings seemed to undergo some degree of spatial distortion, which is why the fierce streams of fire had bypassed the true target by curling around it.

Is this force field magic?

Perhaps the vast majority of offensive magic spells would be completely ineffective under such power...

Lynn thought, suddenly feeling a severe swelling in his head, as if a sealed iron barrel was being continually filled with gas, the spiritual power reinforcements from nine third-ring wizards clearly nearing the upper limits his brain could withstand.

[Magic - Bombardment]

All thoughts occurred in a flash. The moment Lynn realized [Flame Demon Hand] was ineffective, he raised his hand to gather hundreds of [Magic Missiles], testing for weaknesses in this force field magic.

The continuous [Magic Missiles] fired from every direction and angle toward Helram, intending to probe the curvature of space, which might still allow harm to the opponent.

But Helram clearly didn’t give him that chance, holding fast, he lightly tapped his finger, and a wave of invisible ripples expanded outward in a semicircle.

The [Magic Missiles] soaring in midair burst open before they could close in.

This was the second time Lynn faced such bizarre magic, but unlike the encounter with Luo’er, it was a thousand times more powerful. He could clearly see a strange magic wave crushing the missiles into dust, quickly pressing towards him...

The speed was so fast that Lynn didn’t even have time to cast a protective spell.

[Cell Demonization]

The moment before the magic wave hit him, Lynn leaped up, using the amplified strength of demonized cells to narrowly avoid the strange magic wave, but being in mid-air also meant he lost the ability to maneuver.

At the same time, countless thin, sharp iron thorns appeared in the void, speeding down like locusts, arrow showers, covering half the hall.

Fourth Ring Spell—[Iron Sand Storm]

As Lynn had anticipated, a grand wizard could mimic and manipulate more elements, but it was he himself who first experienced this realization!
