Chapter 338: The Sly Archbishop Edweil
"I know, just like the sun... the sun can burn even in a vacuum!" Lydia hastily spoke, recalling Lord Lynn's astronomy class where he mentioned this peculiar phenomenon but didn't explain why.
Lord Lynn chuckled. The sun's light didn't come from combustion; it arose from nuclear fusion within the sun, with light and heat merely as appearances.
Lydia found the example fitting. Adela immediately grasped it; it wasn't about burning without oxygen but substituting it with other elements.
"I see."
She had experimented similarly before, but none of the dozen elements she'd used could replace oxygen's role. This led her to conclude that combustion required oxygen.
But why could stones and metals serve as fuel?
Lord Lynn didn't elaborate. Snuffing out the 'Eternal Flame' in his palm, he turned to Anthony, saying with a smile, "Master Anthony, your progress was unexpectedly quick, perfecting the laser magic in just a few hours."Cheêck out latest novels on
He had handed Anthony the related blueprints that morning, nearly in sync with the development of two different types of magic!
"It's still in its infancy; far from perfection," Anthony said, feeling sentimental.
This laser magic, called the Elemental Excitation, had five energy levels. He could only create the third level's laser for now.
Moreover, there was another method to enhance the laser's power: compressing its diameter. The thinner the laser beam, the stronger its destructive force!
After compressing it from five millimeters to 0.5 millimeters, its power multiplied several times, almost on par with five-ring magic's level. It could be further compressed with seemingly no limit.
To Anthony, this was an unlimited magic; once compressed finely enough, it could reach the level of legendary magic!
"I wonder whose theory this Elemental Excitation is based on?" Anthony curiously inquired. The person who proposed this theory had a profound understanding of elements.
"I developed it based on Glenn's focusing magic and the elemental structure theory within the Prophecy Guild," Lord Lynn casually explained.
Previously, while measuring elements, he admitted that his understanding of light, even within the Guild, was at a rudimentary stage. He couldn't discredit himself, so he reluctantly claimed the credit.
That sly Archbishop Edweil had a crafty plan, hiding some Gryphon Knights in the woods, causing the army to move slowly. When the airships approached for reconnaissance, they'd burst out from the forest suddenly.
If not for the pilots' quick reactions and the speed of two airships, they would've been caught off guard...
Because of this, few pilots were willing to approach for reconnaissance. So, they could barely grasp the legion's movements and lacked more intel.
Though laser magic had been developed, mass deployment required more time. Lord Lynn proposed teaching this magic to trustworthy official wizards, using them as human laser emitters.
Gaining air superiority was crucial, greatly reducing casualties...
"It's better for us not to engage personally. Instead, we need to eliminate these bothersome Gryphons until they dare not take to the skies!" Adela said fiercely.
"No, that would be ineffective!" Lord Lynn shook his head.
Despite their abilities to fly, they weren't as agile in the air as the Gryphon Knights. Even with a surprise attack, they could at most eliminate dozens of Gryphons, unable to halt the others.
The clergy's number likely surpassed theirs. If they needlessly depleted their magical reserves and exposed vital magical information, facing countermeasures in subsequent battles would be challenging.
Either refrain from action or wipe out the entire Gryphon Knights' contingent!
Otherwise, if these individuals managed to retreat successfully and pondered for a while, they might devise ways to counter laser magic. Magic and divine arts were closely linked; this wasn't an impossible feat...
