I Pioneered Scientific Magic C.192: Dream in Hell Instead!

Ougust's voice reverberated incessantly within the spacious Crown Tower. Yet, the initial reaction of Raphael and the others was one of sheer absurdity.

A wizard talking about ascending to godhood, expecting others to believe in himwas he completely mad? Lynn seemed to sense something immediately, her expression growing intensely serious.

"Keep dreaming in hell!" Sanchez sneered. In a burst of roaring fury, he transformed into a colossal monster, towering five meters tall. Flames engulfed him, three robust horns protruded from either side of his forehead, his fair skin turned verdant, and sharp claws crackled with tons of force, hurtling straight toward Ougust.

He'd been irritated by the other's presence for a while now. What was this 'Star of Magic'? At most, it was a recently ascended grand wizard. What right did he have to claim the acting Speaker's position?

Almost as tall as a person, the monster's sharp claws, carrying a fierce gust, descended rapidly. But Ougust had no intention of dodging; instead, a trace of contempt flickered across his face.

Without any visible action, crimson chains suddenly manifested, entwining around the monster's arms, waist, and neck.

"How feeble, Sanchez. You should understand the disparity between us," Ougust raised his hand, pointing toward the monster's head, a dazzling light flashing at his fingertips.

"Death's Finger."

Sanchez's pupils contracted, sensing a mortal threat. Despite his struggles, the crimson chains remained unmoved, forcing him to watch death approach.

"Torrent of Mana!" Raphael intervened at this moment. Elements surged around him, converging into massive magical beams aimed at Ougust.

A Five-Ring spell meant nothing to Ougust, especially within his domain. With a thought, the air thickened like syrup, impeding the colossal magical beams, weakening them layer by layer until they dissipated into the void.

But Raphael hadn't expected "Mana Torrent" to be very effective. It was a feint; Ougust quickly realized the ground beneath him was collapsing. Though he reacted swiftly, suspending himself mid-air, he'd interrupted his prepared spell.

Simultaneously, Lynn's "Spatial Vibrations" activated. Instead of risking an attack on the enigmatic Ougust, she sliced through the chains binding Sanchez.

An attack on the spatial plane proved effective; the seemingly sturdy chains instantly snapped in two.

Having flirted with life and death, Sanchez's ferocity surged. After breaking free, he once again swung his claws at Ougust.

Amidst the stunned onlookers, Ougust merely extended his left hand, meeting the assault head-on. The difference in their sizes was akin to a pebble crashing against a towering mountain. However, reality defied expectationsthe pebble not only remained unshaken but crushed the mountain.

Sanchez's right arm snapped at the elbow, blood gushing out. Ougust ruthlessly kicked him in the chest, causing it to cave in. His massive form flew, crashing into the ground, carving a huge crater, reverting to human shape in a sorry state.

Ougust's speed was unimaginable; everything occurred in an instant. Raphael couldn't intervene in time; Sanchez lay on the ground, his fate uncertain.

A grand wizard of the Fifth Ring, utterly defenseless before OugustRaphael's heart sank. Perhaps today, all of them would perish here.

"Buy some time, even a few minutes will do," Aurora's voice echoed in Lynn's ears.

However, Lynn rolled her eyes. Where could she buy time? Ougust was simply beyond their league.

Nevertheless, Lynn refrained from revealing Aurora's identity; the legendary witch might be preparing some magic, launching an attack from the shadows.

Should she probe life, discuss ideals? Like, debate the feelings after one's "ascension"? Lynn pondered, but Ougust didn't afford him the chance.

"My patience has limits. If you persist in your delusion and defiance, your souls will join the godly realm as its inhabitants!" Ougust's tone was icy.

In the void, ghastly souls, twisted and menacing, appeared. These were souls consigned to the godly realmmostly ordinary spirits devoid of magic, but among them were potent wizards, even those of grand wizard caliber...

The only regret for Ougust was Fayz's soul's formidable strength, rendering it unusable. Yet, it was enough!

"All shall fade into silence..."

Countless spirits emanated blood-red mist, shrieking as they charged toward Lynn and the rest.

The air turned bitterly cold, furnishings and bricks along the way succumbed to an inexplicable force, with the fallen Sanchez appearing drained, his body withering swiftly before being engulfed.

Lynn and the others in the distance suddenly lost their ability to cast spells. Thousands of spirits launched a united "Soul Scream," overpowering even grand wizards like Raphael...

"Gather around!" Lynn endured the intense headache, shouting loudly, clutching the "Crown of Sun" on his right hand, activating the sealed Six-Ring spellVittorio's Bastion!

With such a widespread assault of spirits, coupled with Aurora's lack of response, Lynn could only pin his hopes on this trump card.

In the next moment, the dark gold medal floated spontaneously. Countless substantial alchemic runes gushed out, forming a circular barrier enveloping everyone.

The piercing screams in their minds vanished instantly. Inside the alchemic barrier, it seemed like two different worldsthe spirits outside relentlessly battered the barrier, clawing and biting with their ethereal teeth and claws, leaving marks on the runes.

"The Crown of Sun, huh?" Ougust gazed at the dark gold medal floating above them, sneering.

He was well aware of the powerful protective enchantments imbued on it. Yet, he'd never witnessed it personally. However, to him, it was just a slightly special Six-Ring magic.

To him, on the verge of transcending to greater heights, it was a minor inconvenience.

"Finger of Annihilation!" Ougust's pupils turned blood-red, his appearance once again mirroring the statue of the demonic deity. A tremendous, majestic aura radiated.

Leveraging the newly heightened power, Ougust unleashed his second legendary spellFinger of Annihilation!
