The mont Lynn grew accustod to the powers now within her, she eagerly extended her hand, fingers rhythmically trembling as her magical reserves were instantly depleted by half.
An imperceptible magical ripple expanded in a circular pattern directly ahead, causing a slight distortion in space wherever it passed.
Several combat puppets made of steel, three ters away, were cleanly bisected by the magical ripple without any hindrance. However, those positioned farther, about ten ters away, experienced a different fate. The spot where the ripple passed twisted like a corkscrew, while the wall over thirty ters away remained unaffected.
This outco didn't surprise Lynn. It was akin to tapping the surface of water, creating ripples that gradually expanded their reach but weakened in intensity.
This magic proved effective for breaching enemy defenses at close to dium range. Common shields or magical barriers like the Mage's Shield or Magic Barrier appeared as fragile as paper before the Spatial Ripple.
Yet, it had its drawbacks. Its wide scope and indiscriminate nature made it easy for a single spell to down foes and allies alike.
If soone were bisected, Lynn wondered if the alchemists could salvage them.
"Approximately sixty percent of mana expended..." Lynn pondered for a mont, swiftly deducing the aftermath. Despite possessing a magical reservoir surpassing that of many Tier-3 mages, employing the Spatial Ripple required depleting most of her stored mana.
Fortunately, the results were satisfying.
Ever since her battle with Herlram, Lynn had been studying thods to counter the Diversionary Force Field. She had devised three solutions.
The first involved using continuously large-scale magic! The principle behind the Diversionary Force Field involved distorting the surrounding spaceti, creating a magical field that diverted any magic aid at Herlram, akin to light refracted in water, bending away from its target.
However, magic that covered an entire area like Toxic Domain or Vacuum Domain couldn't be protected by the Diversionary Force Field since attacks could co from any direction. Yet, defeating a grand mage with this thod alone seed unrealistic.
The second thod relied on sheer force!
Mass and energy inherently influenced spaceti. Similarly, magic possessed this property. The Diversionary Force Field couldn't protect against higher-level magic!
Furthermore, any object moving fast enough could break free of the force field's restraint.
Unfortunately, both options were beyond Lynn's capabilities. Her only choice was the third: using force field magic to counter force field magic!
Successfully developing the Spatial Ripple ant she finally possessed a ans to threaten a grand mage!
As for the mana issue, Lynn sighed. Then, without hesitation, she retrieved a bottle of sapphire-blue magic potion from her sleeve and drank it down. In less than a second, her depleted mana was fully restored, her reserves back to optimal levels.
This was "Shiens's Superior Magic Potion"! An invention of a senior alchemist, priced at a hefty seventy Magic Gold Coins per bottle!
Originally designed to replenish grand mages' mana, it was a luxury for regular mages. However, Lynn downed it without a second thought.
Seventy Magic Gold Coins amounted to the price of four glass mirrors, easily recouped by having Darren and the others work a bit more.
In fact, Lynn bought out all thirty bottles available on the market. Obviously, the alchemist hadn't anticipated anyone like Lynn using it during magical practice.
After a brief break, Lynn repositioned a batch of combat dummies, preparing to test if material composition affected the Spatial Ripple's strength.
Ti was of the essence. Tomorrow marked the Council's operation for capture. She had to swiftly familiarize herself with this new magic.
Just as Lynn prepared to cast her spell, her body involuntarily paused. A cold sweat trickled down her forehead.
She suddenly sensed a slight variance in space curvature about five ters to her right, different from elsewhere. If not for the computational support of the twelve Tier-3 mages, she might not have perceived this minute difference.
Yet, that area was empty...
The only possibility: soone had infiltrated, standing nearby watching her practice magic, causing this subtle change in space curvature through their magical power.
Her warning magic set at the training ground entrance had failed to activate...
Lynn's heart raced to her throat. Despite her composed exterior, she abruptly raised her hand, launching an attack without warning.
"Spatial Ripple!"
The barely detectable spatial ripple manifested once again. With a distance of a re five ters between them, at the speed of magical waves, it had nearly reached its target!
Faintly, Lynn heard the sound of sothing shattering...
Hit? Or did it miss?
Backing away abruptly, Lynn observed nurous magical projectiles materializing from the void, hurtling toward the right side but vanishing as if swallowed by an abyss.
Evidently, her adversary remained alive and possessed resistance capabilities. The invisibility spell remained intact!
Simultaneously activating her "Magic - Barrage," Lynn's left hand grasped a bottle of "Shiens's Superior Magic Potion," swiftly consud, while her right hand clasped the "Corona dal."
If even a direct hit from Spatial Ripple couldn't kill her adversary, her only chance was to rely on the protective magic of the "Corona dal" to buy ti, raise an alarm, and await the arrival of the Magic Council mbers for a righteous brawl!
"Vittorio's Barrier is a Tier-6 spell, usable only once. Are you sure you want to activate it now?"
Suddenly, a light laughter broke in abruptly, followed by the appearance of a graceful figure within the spacious training room.
"Aurora?" Lynn halted her movent to activate the Corona dal, recognizing her quickly.
Much like their last encounter, this legendary sorceress donned the sa crimson gown, exuding a captivating allure. Her delicate features resembled a perfectly sculpted artwork, radiating a srizing glow in the darkness.
However, Lynn's attention shifted to the sorceress's abdon, severed by the Spatial Ripple. Her body seed partitioned into upper and lower halves, yet no blood oozed from the cut. The eerie sight made Lynn doubt if what she saw was an illusion...
