Chapter 547: Chapter 488: Magic That Can Protect Against Nuclear Explosions
Above the Holy City, inside a silver fighter jet, Lydia, who had just escaped from the previous peril, quickly demonstrated her excellent pilot training. She stabilized the flipped plane and pulled the lever with the utmost speed.
The rear of the entire fighter jet immediately ejected a strong jet stream, further accelerating the entire craft, climbing upwards at top speed.
Both Lydia and Lynn were well aware that the opponent’s attack had not succeeded and that a subsequent attack was inevitable!
A safe distance could only be ensured by ascending above two thousand meters.
However, the attackers within the Holy City clearly were not prepared to let them escape easily. Almost the moment the light beam disappeared, specks of starlight shot out from the Holy City, so numerous as to almost cover the entire airspace.
Lynn’s expression also grew more serious as he turned to Lydia and spoke rapidly.
“Your mission is completed; now return to Fire Oil City… just keep running forward!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lynn didn’t wait for the girl to reply. He directly grabbed the edge of the fighter jet and flipped out, bracing against the fierce wind caused by the aircraft, stabilizing his form in about two seconds.
At this moment, the stars filling the entire airspace were almost upon him. Lynn, merely in his avatar form, had no intention of facing them head-on. He opened his right hand, and a vast Magic Torrent surrounded him, causing some distortion in the space around him.
This was the Deflection Field!
After Lynn had broken through to legendary status, his mastery of Force Field Magic had increased by more than tenfold.
The onrushing starlight, upon entering a few meters around him, was deflected in direction, encircling once before turning back, colliding with the starlight aimed at the fighter jet…
As the starlights collided, fierce flames ignited in the void—flames that could burn a person’s soul, but pointless if they missed!
Twice the spells were easily guarded against, clearly igniting someone’s fury. Unbeknownst to them, a striking purple stream had already appeared in their view.
Another new Holy Maiden? The Church seems to have an abundance of candidates…
Lynn quickly made out the half-grown girl enveloped in the streamlight and couldn’t help but complain inwardly, though his hands didn’t stop moving, readying to cast a spell to intercept her.
Even if it just served as a momentary obstruction…
His objective this time was to test the defenses of the Holy City and to assist Lydia in a successful escape.
However, it was only at the moment Lynn prepared to act that he suddenly realized the air around him had become thick like viscous liquid, slowing his movements countless times, resembling an elderly man ready to turn into wood…
Unknowingly, the projection of the Divine Kingdom had already expanded into this airspace!
“Was it those starlights from before?” Lynn’s relaxed expression instantly changed, as he immediately realized that those exploding starlights contained Divine Energy, serving as nodes for casting, quickly and secretly expanding the domain.
The next moment, within the projection of the Divine Kingdom, the elements contaminated by Divine Energy surged upward, forming a gigantic hand made of elements, which brutally clasped Lynn in its palm.
The new Holy Maiden thus stood across the sky of Fire Oil City, her expression chillingly indifferent as she stared at Lynn, tightly grasped within the giant hand.
“It appears one can never let down their guard…” Lynn sighed and spoke, trapped in his predicament.
A mere moment of negligence had reversed the situation completely in less than a second.
The strength possessed by this avatar alone was definitely insufficient to break free…
The underlying reason was his underestimation of the opponent’s methods and power; otherwise, he should have been able to stall for more time.
He could only hope that Lydia had managed to get far enough away with the fighter jet.
In a moment of thought, the new Holy Maiden tightened her hand, the giant grip closing fiercely, accompanied by an unpleasant ‘creaking’ sound, as the Magic-formed avatar displayed a peculiar sense of distortion.
Yet, what truly endured the pressure was a specially crafted ring of secrets within!
Cracks quickly appeared on it, and collapse was but a moment away.
Lynn naturally didn’t intend to be captured without a fight, nor did he want the remains of the ring of secrets to fall into the enemy’s hands. The projection of the Divine Kingdom and the grip that nearly suppressed all possibilities of resistance from the avatar…
But that was almost all!
Threads of scorching flame emerged from the cracks in the ring, initially only the size of a spark, but they quickly enveloped and exploded upwards, using the whole Magic-formed avatar as fuel!
A fierce explosion echoed above the Holy City, and the giant hand holding the Magic-formed avatar was also engulfed by the inflating flames, shredding and burning it within seconds…
The moment the new Holy Maiden sensed something amiss, she had already moved away from that airspace, casting a spell that stripped the elements out of the entire area.
Having clashed with Lynn several times, she naturally had mastered how to handle this special flame long ago.
The simplest method was to create a vacuum and let it burn out on its own… there was no need to waste too much power on the Undying Flame.
The girl, with eyes like stars, having dealt with Lynn’s Magic-formed avatar, then turned her gaze toward the distant sky.
