Chapter 294: Lynn: I Just Want to Blast Her Now!
"Lynn, do you have a way to deal with her?" Hatar urgently inquired. He didn't want to lose his capital on the first night of seizing the throne.
Anthony looked at Lynn in surprise. "Wasn't it said that legendary magic couldn't be used anymore?"
Lynn didn't explain but simply smiled. "They've arrived!"
As soon as the words fell, a dull sound of wheels rolling came from the other side of the street. Anthony and the others turned to look.
On the cobblestone street, several camel-like creatures were laboriously pulling three covered black carriages towards them. Leading the group were Philip and others who had disappeared for a while. Jonny and Flora, who had evacuated from the mansion earlier, also followed the convoy.
"Are you all okay?" Lynn glanced around, counted the people, and breathed a sigh of relief seeing no one missing.
"Nothing serious, just scared half to death..." Elok muttered softly.
Though Lynn had instructed them to flee immediately upon seeing Anthony taking action, to retreat to the bunker in the residence, Flora and the others had refused to leave, delaying them for quite a while. They had almost been taken out by the thunderbolts from the sky and subsequent explosions.
"You should have told us in advance, Chancellor Lynn," Peirce said with a tremor in his voice.
Lynn remained silent. The most important aspect of setting traps was to prevent leaks. He didn't mistrust Elok and the others, but the possibility of their memories being captured and searched needed consideration.Anthony pulled down the cover of the carriage, revealing not a carriage but something quite peculiar—resembling a cannon but much larger and more intricate.
It stood over two meters tall, mounted on a solid base with four wheels. The most intriguing part was two long cannon tracks extending straight into the distance, inscribed with numerous electromagnetic runes.
"What's this?" Anthony asked in amazement.
"A powerful electromagnetic weapon. I thought I wouldn't need it this time," Lynn said, walking up to one of the electromagnetic cannons and immediately adjusting its aim towards the colossal projection of the goddess in the sky.
Originally intended to prevent the Archbishop from deviating from the plan or to serve as a backup plan if his alchemical array had some flaws, the plan was to have Philip and the others hide in the shadows and seize Anluke with the electromagnetic cannon when the opportunity arose.
Never did they expect to use it against a real god...
Even though it was just a projection...
As the lever was pressed down, a strong surge of magical power suddenly appeared. A massive amount of lightning stored within the thunderstone was gathered. Runes along the cannon tracks lit up one by one, constructing an immensely powerful magnetic field, tightly binding a cannonball at its center...
Due to the short time of research, this experimental version of the electromagnetic cannon could only accelerate the projectile to about seven times the speed of sound.
It was a terrifying power, yet far from its limit!
"Everyone, use the chain lightning!" Lynn shouted loudly, simultaneously casting spells. A cerulean electric current immediately struck the runes used to receive power.
Flora and the others understood the urgency of the situation and acted without hesitation. Over a hundred wizards poured their magical power into the electromagnetic cannon.
The long cannon tracks were soon dyed red with intense heat, and the increasingly powerful magical fluctuations exposed their whereabouts...
The projection of the goddess hanging in the sky immediately shifted her gaze towards them.
It felt like two years ago for Lynn, escaping the Sechas Empire by ship, facing a similar scene.
Back then, he could only flee in haste, relying on the barrier of the Misty Sea. But now... Lynn just wanted to blast her!
...
"The great Lord has descended!"
At this moment, in the city's square, tens of thousands of believers devoutly knelt, continuously praying, kissing the ground to express their excitement.
Their fears and worries had vanished, leaving only tranquility and joy...
Anluke stood alone in the center of the square. After releasing the holy emblem, he could only control this body with slight connections, having lost the ability to use divine arts.
But none of that mattered!
Because the Lord's will had descended!
Through the divine eye connected to the holy emblem, Anluke quickly found his targets. The great wizard Anthony and his apprentice disciples were gathered on a street in the west of the capital.
Prince Hatar was also there, alongside a young wizard projected through magic—likely the one the Holy See was hunting, (Lynn).
It was perfect for dealing with them together!
A flicker of anger and murderous intent flashed in Anluke's eyes. Then, he closed his eyes, praying for the great Lord to punish those blasphemers.
The massive projection of the goddess in the sky raised her right hand. Her gigantic jade-like finger seemed to traverse space and time, instantly arriving before the people.
The index finger, massive as a mountain, descended from above, seemingly about to crush a few ants.
However, even ants have fangs. Anthony stepped forward, unleashing his most powerful defensive magic.
The magic swiftly transformed into layered snake scales forming a semicircular barrier in front of them, colliding with the finger like a mountain.
The sturdy scale barrier immediately dented, then showed fine cracks. Just a second later, it explosively shattered.
Under the intense magical backlash, Anthony staggered, but at that moment, two azure streaks of light flew past, piercing through the finger attempting to crush them.
It was from the other two electromagnetic cannons, controlled by Philip and Orlando! The injuries inflicted were limited, without bloodshed or flying flesh and bone. They had pierced only the projection, which was visibly healing at an incredible speed. Then, the finger transformed into an entire palm, radiating a dense divine light, pressing down on the people.
The area covered by the palm had turned into a unique realm, where the air condensed, making breathing particularly difficult...
At the same time, the central electromagnetic cannon, powered by hundreds of wizards, finally completed its charge!
Harnessing the electrical power provided, the projectile, firmly restrained by magnetic forces, emitted a deafening roar. Pushed by Anluke's force, it flew towards the hand covering the sky at an invisible speed...
