I Created Scientific Magic

Chapter 23: Deconstruction, Record, Mimicry!

Translator: Lonelytree

“What a touching scene…”

Antioch’s figure appeared at the other end of the passage, followed closely by a huge spirit world guard.

Glancing at Joni and Pigeon who were being carried by the current toward the exit, Antioch did not have any intention of stopping them. After all, the mage in front of him would never let him succeed.

Other than the locale, this was practically a replica of the Battle of Nordland…

“I think you have misunderstood something…” Lin En turned around and stared at Antioch at the end of the tunnel. He stretched out his right hand, and the white phosphorous powder remaining on the surface of the storage bag was stripped out using [Mage’s Hand].

First, he needed to record…

Lin En recalled what Joni had just said and instantly entered overload mode. He cast the zero-circle spell,[Basic Material Deconstruction]!

The fine white phosphorous powder quickly disintegrated and returned to its basic molecular state.

Then, it was Mana Mimicry!

A large amount of mana surged into his palm, and like a cell splitting, the white phosphorous floating in his hand became more and more. Then, it suddenly jumped up and turned into a huge fireball.

Deconstructing and recording an element and then using mana to mimic it. This was the reason why an official Mage was able to cast spells without any materials!

Normally, it would take weeks or even months to record and master an element. However, with the huge computing power brought by artificial intelligence, Lin En shortened this time to less than three seconds.

A new rune was quickly engraved in his mind-it was [White Phosphorus-Fireball]!

Looking at the fireball in Lin En’s hand, Antioch stopped in his tracks. Having witnessed the terrifying power of the white phosphorous fire, he naturally didn’t dare to be negligent. He immediately used his strongest defensive divine spell,[Holy Barrier]!

The invisible light screen was like a sturdy city wall in front of him, but the white phosphorous fire thrown by Lin En directly went around it and crashed into the entrance behind him.

A violent explosion sounded in the next moment. Accompanied by a burst of flames, the entrance behind him was already enveloped by terrifying white phosphorous flames.

After understanding what Lin En did, Antioch’s face immediately turned ugly.

It was obvious that the mage in front of him did not simply want to cover his companion’s escape. The other party had sealed off his escape route, which meant that one of them would have to die there!

“Very good!” Anger burned in his heart when he realized this. The giant Spirit World Guard beside him charged forward with heavy steps.

The body made of boulders was extremely heavy. As it stepped on the broken tiles, it left obvious marks…

Lin En, who was standing in front of the Spirit World Guard, was like an egg trying to stop a car.

However, Lin En’s expression was still calm. He had no intention of dodging at all. He just counted silently in his heart.

Three… Two…One…

[Stone to Mud]

Just as the Spirit World Guard rushed in front of him and swung his fist, Lin En bent down to dodge and pressed his palm on the ground.

The solid ground instantly turned into soft sand, and the giant stone statue immediately lost its center of gravity when it stepped on it. It rolled and fell into the rapid current behind it.

The huge water droplets that were created by the spirit guardian’s fall into the water condensed into dozens of crystal ice blades. They flew forward at an indescribable speed!

Using the geographical advantage, Lin En used the second circle spell for the first time,[Group Ice Blade]!

The reversal of attack and defense happened in an instant, and before Antioch could react, the Spirit World Guard sank to the bottom of the water, and the ice blade that looked like a locust collided with the [Holy Barrier].

How could a second-circle offensive spell defeat a third-circle defensive spell?

Lin En quickly gave the answer. Dozens of ice blades accurately hit three fixed points. Ripples spread on the surface of the invisible barrier, and the speed became faster and faster. At first, a crack appeared, and then the crack rapidly expanded, and the invisible barrier collapsed just like that.

Lin En focused on the shield’s weak points!

Antioch’s expression changed completely. He couldn’t help but take a step back. He raised his scepter and used the second third-circle divine spell,[Holy Spirit Light]!

Dazzling light waves emitted the aura of death and spread forward in a semi-circular shape. Just five minutes ago, Lin En had fled in a sorry state, threatened by this move, but he was no longer the same as before.

[White Phosphorus-Balrog’s Hand!]

Lin En raised his hand, and the terrifying white phosphorous flames ignited once again, turning into an ancient demonic hand that was several meters tall. It collided with the dazzling light wave.

This ordinary first-circle upper-level spell exploded with unimaginable power in Lin En’s hands!

Scorching flames soared into the sky, and the entire manor shook violently.

Amid the white smoke and fire, Antioch could vaguely see something shining in the air. When he got closer, he realized that it was a sword, and Lin En was already right in front of him.

Clang ~

The sharp longsword and the gold-inlaid scepter collided, producing a sharp and unpleasant dull sound.

What was the best way to deal with a priest who could use divine spells?

Close combat, of course!

However, Lin En soon realized that the experience he had accumulated in the game and the novel was ineffective this time. This was because Antioch had blocked his full-powered attack with only one hand.

Could this be the legendary melee priest?

Lin En’s forehead was covered in a cold sweat as he lowered his head to dodge the attack.

Feeling the sound of the staff piercing through the air above his head, Lin En roughly calculated that the impact of this blow was at least 1.5 tons.

This reminded Lin En of the Mage Hunter he had met before.

Could it be that the people of the Holy Court were all f * cking human-shaped tyrannosauruses?

Fortunately, Antioch had been pampered for many years. Even after taking the God’s Grace Potion, his close combat skills were not perfect. Moreover, strength alone was not enough in battle!

After two or three exchanges, Lin En instantly calculated where the scepter would land. The sword in his hand stabbed in at a tricky angle, drawing a ferocious, bloody wound on Antioch’s chest.

Angered, he immediately cast a second-circle divine spell,[Holy Light Impact]!

A dazzling white light shone, and Lin En and Antioch, who were very close to them, were sent flying by a huge impact.

The weaker Lin En was sent flying more than ten meters away. Fortunately, the moment the divine spell was released, he temporarily created an ice shield outside his body to alleviate most of the impact so he did not fall into the rapid river behind.

On the other side, Antioch was also impacted by his own spell. His gorgeous gilded robe was tattered, and the long and narrow wound on his chest had ruptured again.

[Holy Word: Shield],[Holy Blessing],[Eliminate Fear],[Holy Barrier],[Lightless Wall]…

Under the continuous threat of death, the frightened Antioch did not even heal his injuries first. Instead, he cast defensive divine spells one after another, almost turning himself into a turtle!
