Chapter 366: The Unquenchable Flames Spreading Throughout the Royal Capital
Noticing Harof already taking action to deal with the sole enemy within the courtyard, Lynn's tense grip relaxed. Mentally chanting the spell for "Magic Interruption," the overwhelming surge of energy instantly dissipated. His body swayed violently, nearly toppling to the ground.
Victorio hurried to Lynn's side, assuming he had been struck by Aila's final divine magic. Yet, upon magical investigation, they discovered otherwise. However, the situation remained dire.
Despite a life of comfort and good food within the realm of wizards and no neglect in training, Lynn's physique had undergone a drastic change. He appeared to have lost a substantial amount of weight, resembling a starving wanderer after days without sustenance. His magical reserves depleted entirely, his mental prowess severely battered!
Victorio's expression turned grave. Combining Lynn's release of that legendary-level electromagnetic cannon a moment ago, he swiftly deduced this must be a consequence of some kind of magic that rapidly augmented strength but left severe aftereffects. He immediately produced a bottle of deep blue potion and administered it to the barely conscious Lynn.
The icy liquid surged down his throat, sending a chilling sensation that coursed upward, offering some relief to his excruciatingly pained mind. Yet, this was followed by another bottle, this time red, poured into his mouth.
Instantly, the cold body turned searing hot, as though plunged into a boiling cauldron. Amidst this interplay of ice and fire, Lynn shuddered, involuntarily gasping for cool air, regaining alertness but feeling utterly fatigued, much like post-exhaustion after intense exercise.
"For the time being, refrain from using magic. Take a bottle of 'Advanced Blizzard' daily, or you risk irreversible damage!" Victorio cautioned.
Though curious about the kind of magic causing such severe aftermath, he refrained from further inquiry, recognizing the paramount value of magical knowledge to wizards, sometimes outweighing life itself! Great wizards hesitated to display their most powerful magic, harboring numerous hidden spells honed through extensive research on magical theories, often keeping their latest findings highly confidential until perfected.
Moreover, many spells' potency lay in their enigma. Once information got deciphered, it became susceptible to enemies' scrutiny for countermeasures.
This also resulted in the poor circulation of high-tier magical models, primarily exchanged among familiar grand wizards, for the exchange of magical knowledge.
He only hoped Lynn hadn't used spells that shortened lifespan or depleted potential...
Contemplating this, Victorio sighed. It was highly probable, considering how exaggerated this augmentation was.
"I understand. Thank you, Lord Victorio," Lynn expressed gratitude, rubbing his still faintly throbbing head. Had he fainted just then, he might have faced brain death or become a vegetable...
"To be honest, I don't have a great solution. Typically, we'd use magic to strip away what it's attached to and wait for it to burn out on its own!" Lynn shrugged. "It reacts with any known element, particularly avoiding using water to douse it, as it might explode and is highly toxic!"
Harof looked at Lynn strangely. Without an effective solution, the audacity to employ it on such a large scale was akin to courting disaster.
"Could it truly be from hell?" Victorio couldn't help but ask.
After all, it bore a striking resemblance to the characteristics of hellfire in the scriptures: it burned everything!
"How could that be? It's merely a special synthetic element." Lynn shook his head, though he pondered if this supposed hellfire might be similar.
Aila must have used it previously to punish those who defied the gods, leading to its mention and emphasis in scriptures... However, it was unclear which was more powerful between this and trifluorochlorine.
"In truth, there is a way to resolve it. Someone can extinguish it by halting the movement of its elements!" Lynn added, looking expectantly at the two Council Lords...
