I Created Scientific Magic

Chapter 42: Chapter 39 Aren’t I Right by Your Side?

“`

Considering that the two witches were to be used as bait to draw out a formidable enemy, the priests didn’t immediately take action but instead turned their gaze to the ‘priest Danny’ opposite them, impatiently asking.

“Danny, where is Priest Adrian now?”

“What do you mean? Isn’t Lord Adrian right beside you?” the leader stepped forward, asking with great confusion.

“Let me explain, based on the Archbishop’s speculation, the devil’s believer just now must have masqueraded as me, directing your every move…”

Adrian was explaining when a withered arm blocked in front of him.

“Archbishop?” Adrian was slightly taken aback and asked, puzzled.

Anluoke did not reply, nor did he hesitate. He simply raised the staff in his hand.

Third-tier Divine Arts—[Holy Spirit Light]!

Dazzling points of light burst forth from the tip of the staff, then expanded into a half-circular shockwave of light, covering Johnny, Bai Ge, ‘Priest Danny,’ and even the guards behind them.

The patchy road surface cracked open layer by layer under the erosion of the powerful energy wave, and both witches simultaneously felt the grim reaper swiftly approaching!

Dozens of Magic spells flashed through Johnny’s mind one by one, but she couldn’t think of any that could withstand this terrifying third-tier Divine Art…

Waiting for death seemed to be their only choice!

Through the haze, Johnny saw the young priest to her left also raise his hand.

Then, a colossal hand composed of endless flames burst forth from the ground, its palm forming a half-circle shield wall that protected them within.

This was the modified Magic—[White Phosphorus—Flame Demon Hand]!

The powerful Divine Art collided with the Magic, accompanied by a violent explosion, and the patchy road surface shattered, with the hot blast flipping the surrounding grass and vegetation.

Countless bits of dust and debris flew into the air, and the burning “hellfire” formed a solid wall of fire, forcibly separating the two witches from Anluoke and the others.

“Don’t just stand there, go!”

Before Johnny could recover from the sudden turn of events, the young priest had already slit the throats of several guards beside him, grabbed their arms, blasted through the alley wall, and sped off with them in his grip.

“What exactly is going on, who are you?” Johnny was instinctively running alongside Lynn, her mind swimming with confusion.

Why would a church priest know witchcraft, and why would he save them?

Suddenly, Johnny thought of the words spoken by those priests earlier…

Could it be Shaping Magic?

“What, you don’t recognize me after just a few days?” Lynn’s features quickly changed back to normal as he spoke teasingly.

“Carl?!” Bai Ge’s face immediately showed a mixture of three parts joy and seven parts amazement, looking somewhat dumbfounded. “But when did you learn Shaping Magic?”

Without waiting for Lynn to respond, Johnny eagerly asked, “Wait, weren’t you captured by the church?”

“`

“It just so happens that, before tonight, I also thought you were suffering the Church’s torture,” Lynn lamented with a helpless shrug, realizing they might have all underestimated the strength their companion possessed.

“So you’re saying… we were all deceived?” Johnny had now caught on, the power of Lynn’s Flame Demon Hand from before could only be described as terrifying, and indeed, he had the ability to survive on his own amidst Anluoke’s relentless pursuit.

“Where have you been hiding these days? Didn’t you look for Laud and the [Ship Gang]?” Lynn asked slightly puzzled.

After entering the port town, aside from getting a ship to cross the sea, his most important task was to find out information about the two witches.

According to his knowledge, if the two women had not been captured by the Church, they should have sought help from Laud.

Johnny shook her head helplessly. The town’s guards were vigilant, and the checkpoints were guarded by the Church’s Priests, making it impossible for them to sneak in, so they spent the days catching gray crows in the woods, obtaining information through these inconspicuous birds.

As the three explained, a series of fierce light arrows were already speeding towards them from behind.

It was clear that in just a few seconds, Anluoke had found a way to breach the firewall.

Lynn turned his head and glanced back, with the overloading mode’s enhancement, the trajectory of each light arrow was converted into data in his mind.

[Magic – Bombardment]

In an instant, as many as thirty-six pure Magic Power missiles hovered in the air, then with precise targeted shooting, they exploded each of the numerous light arrows mid-air.

Johnny and Bai Ge, who had been readying spells for defense, stopped their hands and looked towards Lynn, a sense of reassurance arose in their hearts unwittingly.

“Where do we go now?” Johnny asked at an extremely fast pace.

“There’s a boat of ours at the dock in the port town, we have a chance to escape once we get there,” Lynn explained concisely, and once again glanced back aimlessly, Anluoke and the others had already caught up.

From his appearance, the Archbishop almost looked no different from an old man about to be buried, with white hair and sunken eyes. However, his movements were much faster than the Priests by his side.

While pretending to be Adrian, Lynn had learned some intelligence: the Church’s high-ranking clerics had all received the deity’s blessings, their physical abilities far exceeding those of ordinary people, going head-to-head was certainly not a wise move.

He originally planned to appear as Priest Danny, to see if he could bluff his way through another subterfuge, possibly a sneak attack from behind, but to his surprise, the Archbishop saw through his disguise at a glance.

Was it because he didn’t possess the glow of God?

Lynn thought to himself, as the sound of waves hitting the rocks echoed incessantly, the port’s dock was already in sight.

At this moment, Bai Ge suddenly clutched his wrist tightly, her lips quivering fiercely, and she screamed with a hint of a cry, “I see a lot of armored soldiers, there are too many of them, at least… at least thousands!”

Through the eyes of the flock of gray crows, fear filled Bai Ge’s heart, as countless guards in armor and carrying large shields advanced like a black tide rolling towards them.

A chill also ran down Johnny’s spine. She never expected that in addition to Archbishop Anluoke, the port town also concealed an elite guard of thousands.

Yet at such a dire moment, Lynn simply laughed.

“Good, they finally decided to make a move after waiting so long!”
