Chapter 233: The Cracked Faraday Cage

Chapter 233: The Cracked Faraday Cage

Under the rampage of thunder, the conference hall had turned into ruins. A massive thunderous vortex at the center ceaselessly devoured violent lightning, the destructive force causing the entire area to collapse.

Despite the swift reaction of Flora and the others, they couldn't entirely escape. The violent power instantly sent several of the closest individuals flying.

"This is the might of thunder magic!" Flora wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her face filled with awe.

"He's doomed, utterly doomed..." a male witch exclaimed in excitement. Under such immense power, not only an ordinary civilian unfamiliar with magic but even an archmage involved in it would meet a certain death!

The so-called Faraday cage would simply turn to dust under this thunderous assault...

*Cough* Releasing a sixth-circle spell, which was a significant burden for Anthony, his face turned pale. His dual pupils stared at the flickering thunder vortex, as if trying to peer through the electrical barrier to see inside.

This magic was initially meant to confront Archbishop Losak, his last resort. Yet, it had been unleashed now! He urgently aimed to shatter this supposed Thunder Killer and validate the years of his hard work!

Seconds passed, and the thunder vortex gradually dissipated. However, what left everyone present in despair was that the copper-made cage, though distorted by falling debris, remained sturdy, standing amidst the collapsed ruins.

Inside the Faraday cage, Laude was violently shaken by the impact, clearly not having recovered from the almost all-encompassing lightning strikes moments ago.

"I'm still alive!"

Laude spoke dazedly, just as surprised as Flora and the others. At the moment the thunder fell, he had thought he was done for. Yet, the fact proved once again the Faraday cage's immense strength.

Under such intense thunder magic, he hadn't sustained any injuries.

Not until this moment did Laude abruptly realize that, to maintain his balance, his hands had unconsciously grabbed the edge of the copper wire. Flashes of sparks emerged, yet he remained unharmed.Find the newest novels at novelhall.com

At that moment, Laude felt as if he controlled the thunder himself!

"You're Lynn?!" Anthony looked at the young male witch suddenly before him, quickly discerning that this wasn't their real self but likely a magical projection.

"Yes." Lynn nodded.

Anthony didn't mind the means by which Lynn projected themselves here. Reflecting on Lynn's words, although terms like "electric potential difference" and "equipotential body" were new and unheard-of, they were not entirely incomprehensible.

"Additionally, copper is an excellent conductor. Under an applied external electric field, electrons within the conductor move to its surface, creating an equally sized, oppositely directed electric field. Thus, the internal and external fields cancel each other out. I call it electrostatic shielding." Lynn chuckled.

"So that's it..." Anthony's mind trembled.

Indeed, only the power of thunder could contend with thunder...

"Then how do we crack this Faraday cage?" Anthony urgently inquired, but quickly halted; this was evidently the most crucial secret.

Even after Lynn explained the Faraday cage's principle, he couldn't think of any way to crack this near-perfect "Thunder Killer," unless using a force other than thunder magic.

"Where there's electricity, there's magnetism. A copper coil with electricity generates a magnetic field. So, why not try a different method—magnetism?" Lynn spoke with interest.

Anthony suddenly felt enlightened. Closing his eyes, he sensed the magical current, resembling a magnetic field, flowing along the copper wire. With a tight grip in his right hand, a harsh, unpleasant sound echoed. Under tens of millions of volts of high-pressure current, the once sturdy Faraday cage began to bend and twist inwards...

"Enough, stop!" Laude screamed in terror. The sturdy Faraday cage was no longer his protective guardian but had become a deadly prison.
