Chapter 273: Chapter 260: Could it be that Ryder is the Messenger of God?


    “The second method is to learn magic!” Lynn said.


    “Magic? Now?” Ryder paused, naturally very interested in the extremely magical and powerful magic.


    During this time, Lynn also asionally crammed some novel knowledge into his brain, seemingly called physics, chemistry, and advanced mathematics… reportedly the essential basic courses to be a Wizard.


    Whenever he had free time, Ryder would nce over these subjects roughly. This knowledge was incredibly addictive, from the motion of objects to the formation of everything. Perhaps this was how Wizards viewed the world, where everything operated ording to certainws, and magic was a reproduction of these objectivews.


    “But, didn’t you previously say that my talent for magic was very limited?” Ryder asked, puzzled. “Learning magic now, isn’t it toote?”


    “I have a method that will allow you to be a Spellcaster in a short period. Of course, this is an experiment, and I cannot guarantee its sess rate!” Lynn stated bluntly.


    ...


    “Let’s do it!” Ryder took a deep breath, ready to face anything, and then felt a sharp pain in his brain, as if someone was relentlessly stirring inside it with a pickaxe.


    Although Ryder was just an ordinary person who couldn’t perform magic, his willpower was much stronger than an average person’s after being tempered in the ‘Dream World’, and the difort caused by forcibly breaking through his mental defenses was particrly evident.


    Even though Ryder had some innate talent for magic, enabling someone to acquire the ability to cast spells in a short time was not an easy task.


    The most critical factor was where the magic power woulde from. Even a Wizard Apprentice couldn’t perform many first-level spells, let alone Ryder, who wasn’t even an apprentice.


    Lynn chose a clever method; he had already engraved the magic spells he mastered into the Magic Domain, creating numerous spell slots.


    This way, Ryder was able to connect deeply with the neural system and release magic.


    This was Lynn’s attempt to explore the secrets of Divine Arts!


    After the decryption of the mental frequency reached fifty percent, Ryder suddenly felt like his brain was about to explode, his consciousness entering an incredibly mysterious realm, floating in a void space filled with countless gray runes.


    These runes were veryplex,posed of ‘lines’ that were indescribable in words…


    Ryder was astonished when the two runes at the very bottom suddenly lit up, and at the same time, corresponding information appeared in his mind, and Lynn’s voice also echoed synchronously.


    “These are first-level spells, the Thunder Summoning Technique and the Thunder Strike!”


    “First-level spells?” Ryder was somewhat astonished. Lynn had mentioned that the bishop was a second-level clergyman. Could these two first-level spells really be enough to defeat him?


    Lynn said with a smile, “The strength of magic sometimes cannot be simply determined by the number of levels. Some specific techniques, leveraging the power of nature, can often yield good results.”


    “For instance, now!” As Lynn’s words fell, a p of thunder suddenly sounded in the sky.


    “Do you remember the physics knowledge I transmitted to you? About the formation of thunder strikes?” Lynn said with a smile.


    The reason lightning travels through thousands of kilometers in the sky to strike the ground is that the umtion of electrons in the clouds raises the potential difference between them and the ground, and when this potential difference reaches a certain level, it causes the molecules between the cloud and the ground to ionize, forming positive and negative charges that attract each other and result in a falling lightning strike.


    However, air is not a good conductor, so most of the lightning is interrupted in the air and does not reach the ground.

    The Thunder Summoning Technique is based on this principle and maniptes the formation of lightning strikes by affecting the electric field on the ground.


    With Lynn’s exnation, Ryder quickly tried it out. The influence of a single spell on the electric field was very weak, but it was enough, after all, lightning always falls along the path of least resistance!


    The next moment, under Ryder’s guidance, a fierce thunder exploded in everyone’s ears, the sound produced by lightning breaking through the air!


    But the lightning was faster than the sound!


    A beam of white light instantly pierced through the clouds and plummeted straight down from the sky!


    However, this being Ryder’s first attempt at casting the spell, it was slightly off and did not hit anyone, the falling lightning struck the ground and sted arge hole in the solid bricks and stones.


    Everyone present stopped their actions, clearly stunned by the sudden sh of lightning.


    “Divine punishment, this is divine punishment,” the Bishop loudly eximed, and the Priests beside him were jubnt, believing it must be their devout prayers, or perhaps the sphemous actions of these miners, that had drawn the wrath of the True God, summoning the thunder from the skies.


    Compared to the jubnt Bishop and Priests, Ham and others turned pale and disyed looks of terror, some even dropped their mining tools on the ground and knelt to beg for the forgiveness of the Moon Goddess.


    “Great Moon Goddess, please unleash your wrath and punish the sphemers before us!” the Bishop, overwhelmed with emotion, spread his arms towards the sky and cried out loudly.


    “Then go meet your Goddess!” Ryder roared, raising his hand and pointing at the Bishop, activating the Thunder Summoning Technique.


    In an instant, an incredibly bright light fell again, the power of nature itself!


    The Bishop, with arms spread wide and looking up at the sky praying for the divine presence, saw the dazzling light, as millions of volts of high-voltage lightning directly prated the helpless “Divine Light Barrier”, and the strong current instantly surged through the Bishop’s body.


    Everything happened too fast, and in the moment of weing death, the Bishop’s face still bore traces of excitement and joy!


    Watching the lightning from the sky strike the Bishop into a charred corpse, this scene akin to divine punishment, left the group of devoutly praying Priests dumbfounded. Could it be that the great Lord of the Stars, the Moon Goddess, hadpletely abandoned them?


    A few Priests showed signs of faltering faith, while Ryder showed no signs of mercy, immediatelymanding Ham and others, who were as if awakened from a dream, to use crossbow arrows to kill the remaining Priests.


    Having used the Thunder Summoning Technique twice in a row, although the magic power was directly drawn from the Magic Domain, the consumption of spiritual power also caused some pain in Ryder’s brain.


    The miners on the field looked at Ryder with a mixture of astonishment, excitement, and shock.


    In Ham’s mind, a thought emerged, could it be that Ryder was the messenger of the gods? Otherwise, how could he summon lightning from the sky?
