"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 ntioned this peculiar phenonon but didn't explain why.
Lord Lynn chuckled. The sun's light didn't co from combustion; it arose from nuclear fusion within the sun, with light and heat rely as appearances.
Lydia found the example fitting. Adela imdiately grasped it; it wasn't about burning without oxygen but substituting it with other elents.
"I see."
She had experinted similarly before, but none of the dozen elents she'd used could replace oxygen's role. This led her to conclude that combustion required oxygen.
But why could stones and tals serve as fuel?
Lord Lynn didn't elaborate. Snuffing out the 'Eternal Fla' 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."
He had handed Anthony the related blueprints that morning, nearly in sync with the developnt of two different types of magic!
"It's still in its infancy; far from perfection," Anthony said, feeling sentintal.
This laser magic, called the Elental Excitation, had five energy levels. He could only create the third level's laser for now.
Moreover, there was another thod to enhance the laser's power: compressing its diater. The thinner the laser beam, the stronger its destructive force!
After compressing it from five milliters to 0.5 milliters, its power multiplied several tis, 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 Elental Excitation is based on?" Anthony curiously inquired. The person who proposed this theory had a profound understanding of elents.
"I developed it based on Glenn's focusing magic and the elental structure theory within the Prophecy Guild," Lord Lynn casually explained.
Previously, while asuring elents, he admitted that his understanding of light, even within the Guild, was at a rudintary stage. He couldn't discredit himself, so he reluctantly claid the credit.
Raphael and the others were speechless. This magical prodigy not only created terrifying fla magic after the symposium but also delved into modifying laser spells during this ti.
The gap between individuals was greater than the gap between a person and a dog...
"Speaking of which, who won in that battle just now?" Sanchez suddenly asked, seemingly out of the blue.
For Sanchez, an advocate of practical combat, discussing these magic theories was less important than determining victory or defeat.
The situation on the field was perilous monts before the conclusion when Raphael halted it.
Sanchez's words diverted everyone's attention. Lord Lynn's fla magic was terrifying, but under Anthony's laser magic, there was no chance to evade either.
"Naturally, I lost!" Anthony replied calmly.
He couldn't withstand that 'Eternal Fla,' but Lord Lynn might be able to counter his laser magic. After all, the magic's principle was what Lord Lynn had inford him of; there couldn't be a lack of counterasures.
Anthony was quite open-minded; facing a forr legend, losing was perfectly normal.
What he hadn't expected was losing so swiftly...
Anthony's candid admission sowhat surprised Raphael and the others. Subsequently, they all turned to Lord Lynn. A four-ring wizard defeating a six-ring wizard, nearly overwhelmingly, would hardly be believed if spoken of.
"Since there's no definite result, let's consider it a draw," Lord Lynn said, not aiming to take advantage of Anthony. Winning or losing didn't concern him; having a bout, understanding the nature of chlorine trifluoride, was satisfying enough.
Among wizards, determining the outco of a battle wasn't easy until the final mont. After all, one couldn't foresee the strange and uncommon spells the opponent might unleash.
The discussion about the battle's outco passed casually, disappointing Sanchez, who had been intrigued. He redirected the topic to the impending war.
Due to the Gryphon Knights' obstruction, the reconnaissance function of airships had significantly diminished. Pilots dared only to observe from a distance of at least three kiloters using telescopes.
Even that almost led to their downfall.
That sly Archbishop Edweil had a crafty plan, hiding so 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 movents and lacked more intel.
Though laser magic had been developed, mass deploynt required more ti. 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 botherso 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 counterasures 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...
