Chapter 232: Vanishing Amidst Thunder—[Divine Punishment—Thunderous Judgment]!
"This is impossible!"
Watching Loude standing within the cage, untouched by the thunder and lightning shroud, Rell's face displayed an incredulous expression. He even began to doubt if he was seeing an illusion.
However, Rell quickly regained his senses, speaking fiercely, "Fayz, it seems this thing has some tricks, everyone, come on!"
He absolutely didn't believe in any so-called nemesis of thunder!
Perhaps his earlier inspection wasn't thorough. This so-called Faraday cage might have been enchanted with some magical spell. Or perhaps it was merely wrapped in a copper layer, with the interior actually crafted from resin, sand, or rocks capable of insulating against lightning!
But even so, faced with more powerful thunder magic, it would still be pulverized!
"Chain Lightning!"
After Rell spoke, more than ten wizards stepped forward, all casting spells of lightning. Each one exerted their full power, chanting incantations as dazzling bolts emerged from the void, hurtling towards Loude.
They're still coming?! Is this necessary?
Loude, seemingly calm on the surface, was now slightly agitated. Although Lynn had demonstrated the wonders of the Faraday cage earlier, witnessing terrifying bolts heading his way made Loude involuntarily tremble. His legs shook faintly, and he dared not move a muscle...In his mind, he kept recalling Lynn's words: the reason for getting shocked was due to the human body conducting electricity. Only when there's a potential difference between bodies does a current form... and the Faraday cage being an equipotential body, with zero potential difference and zero electric field, was the key to shielding against thunder magic.
He didn't understand the potential difference, but he was clear that these terrifying thunderbolts could turn him into ashes in an instant...
So, Loude didn't dare to move at all, fearing the disappearance of this so-called equipotential body.
The speed of thunder magic was faster than Loude's thoughts. The "Chain Lightning" released by the group of wizards struck the Faraday cage swiftly.
Almost tangible arcs of electricity surged, forming a web of thunderous patterns in the air, covering the entire cage!
The intensity of the thunder magic was more than ten times higher than before, almost reaching the level of fourth-circle magic. It even generated dense electric sparks outside the cage.
Cold sweat dripped from Loude's forehead. However, just as Lord Lin had mentioned, all danger was blocked outside the Faraday cage. Despite the lightning dancing around him, he felt no discomfort, as if these thunderbolts were mere illusions.
The only sensation was a refreshing breeze blowing toward him, something Loude didn't comprehend as an electron wind, a flow emanating from the negative pole.
"What a pleasant wind..."
Loude couldn't help but sigh aloud, and like the last straw that broke the camel's back, this made Fayz and others, who had intensified the current, completely dumbfounded.
Inside and outside the cage, completely covered by thunder, they could see the sparkling electric flashes around Loude, yet he emitted a sigh of comfort. How could they accept this?
Rell stood there, utterly stunned, his expression extremely unsightly. He couldn't accept that despite risking his life and wielding the power of thunder, he couldn't even kill a non-magical cripple.
Could this so-called Faraday cage truly be the nemesis of thunder magic?
"Impossible, this must be an illusion..." Rell shouted frantically. Perhaps the other party was an incredibly powerful illusionist, deceiving their senses and redirecting the thunder elsewhere using some magic.
Yes, it must be this way!
Thinking so, Rell cast a "Mage Shield" on himself and then reached out to touch the Faraday cage.
"Don't touch it, Rell..." Ebur, who had a similar experience before, urgently tried to stop him.
However, Rell became even more determined in his thoughts. He had to expose this deception and directly pressed his hand against it.
The rampaging thunder immediately seemed to find its target near the Faraday cage. Before Rell could get close, a lightning bolt as thick as an arm struck, sending him flying from the thunder's impact...
This is real, not an illusion... was the only thought in Rell's mind.
"Rell?!" Fayz and the others exclaimed in shock, quickly rushing forward to check Rell's condition.
Just from the residual effects of the thunder, the "Mage Shield" was directly shattered, Rell's outstretched arm already charred black. Horrifying lightning patterns crawled across his neck, half of his face, leaving him lying on the ground, his fate uncertain.
The people present were somewhat at a loss. Anthony, who had been observing, finally spoke up.
"Everyone, step back!"
Fayz and the others' faces regained hope, glaring fiercely at Loude, who looked innocent inside the cage. Just because these formal wizards couldn't do it didn't mean their teacher, the founder of thunder magic, couldn't break this damned Faraday cage!
"Since you claim it's the bane of all thunder, then try this!" Anthony's expression turned serious. With immense magical power surging around him, amidst his flying hair, sporadic sparks of lightning flashed within the entire conference hall.
With incantations echoing, faint lightning seemed to flicker between Anthony's eyes. His entire being grew more concentrated, an overwhelming pressure choking everyone present...
Loude felt as though facing a formidable enemy, gritting his teeth to avoid kneeling down.
Not because he felt ashamed, but because he feared that his act of kneeling would create the so-called potential difference, sealing his fate!
Fayz and the others, as wizards, felt a sense of impending doom. Even though Anthony's target wasn't them, the wizards present instinctively erected protective spells.
"Magic Barrier," "Protective Force Field," "Mage Shield."
One after another, magical barriers emerged in the air, making Loude's scalp tingle with regret. He should never have come here!
"Vanish in the thunder—[Divine Punishment—Thunderous Judgment]!" As Anthony raised his hand, a purple thunder enveloped the Faraday cage, converging above it and transforming into a colossal thunder pillar, crashing down!
The purple thunder arrived in an instant, leaving only dazzling lightning and a violent rumble between heaven and earth.
The power of sixth-circle magic was undoubtedly terrifying!
The entire Faraday cage trembled violently, the violent current washing over the copper-wire-made cage, causing the ground's bricks to crack layer by layer.
Ripples kept reverberating within the conference hall, and the magical barriers constructed by hundreds of formal wizards were shattered in a matter of seconds...
