I Pioneered Scientific Magic

However, the scene was far from over. The shadow, seemingly undeterred, continued its advance. The flames, instead of consuming it, seemed to fuel its anger.

Lynn's expression turned grave. He knew he had to finish this quickly, or things could escalate further out of control. With determination in his eyes, he concentrated his energy.

The flames around him gathered into a concentrated beam of pure, white-hot fire. With a forceful thrust of his hand, Lynn unleashed his ultimate attack—the Inferno Annihilation.

The beam pierced through the air, cutting through the darkness of the cave like a celestial blade. As it struck the shadow, a blinding explosion of light and heat erupted, engulfing everything in its vicinity.

When the brilliance faded and the smoke cleared, there was nothing left of the shadow but ashes scattered on the ground. Lynn stood amidst the destruction, panting heavily, but victorious.

The threat had been vanquished, but the memory of the encounter would linger, a testament to the dangers lurking in the depths of the earth. Lynn and his companions knew that their journey was far from over, and greater challenges awaited them ahead.

Lynn was no exception; it seemed that although the life level of this demon beast was higher than theirs, it didn't understand how to use this advantage, which was why it was so easily restrained by his Unquenchable Flames.

In other words, the opponent had intelligence but not high intelligence, probably at the level of an eight-year-old.

You should know that the legendary Lucia, who was on par with him, could easily extinguish his Unquenchable Flames with just a breath.

The roar of the beast shadow lasted for a full minute, and Raphael, seeing the flames engulfing the huge creature from the inside out, couldn't help but ask, "Master Lynn, should we stop now?"

They were still hoping to use this thing to refine uranium ore...

If they burned it a little longer, it probably wouldn't die so easily... Lynn was about to answer when a strong warning sign flashed through his mind once again.

A dazzling light shone in the sea of Unquenchable Flames, and the beast shadow, engulfed by the flames, opened its mouth wide, spewing out a high-intensity energy wave directly from its mouth.

Atomic Breath?! Lynn's pupils contracted slightly, and he quickly fell backward, rolling clumsily to dodge the incoming energy wave.

Raphael's reaction was a bit slow, but luckily Sanchez intervened in time and slapped him away. However, his shoulder and entire right arm were directly wiped out by the intense energy wave!

Fortunately, the roasting flames were not entirely useless. Except for the first one, the energy breath of the beast shadow had no aim at all, all hitting the surrounding rock walls.

The hard rocks peeled away layer by layer, leaving behind deep grooves several meters deep, turning large areas into vacuum zones!

About half a minute later, the breath gradually ceased, and more than half of the Unquenchable Flames covering the inside of the mine had been destroyed.

Although this thing could crazily plunder electrons to enhance itself, it was ineffective against energy waves of such high intensity and speed. It couldn't even have time to use its electron plundering ability before being directly dispersed by the energy waves.

At this moment, the scene inside the mine truly unfolded before everyone. The originally more than two-meter-tall beast shadow had shrunk to about one meter, and the Unquenchable Flames burning inside its body had also disappeared, probably extinguished by the energy breath.

The situation on the field immediately reached a stalemate. The beast shadow's eyes stared fiercely at the three people in front of it, no longer mocking but instead showing a strong sense of vigilance.

Lynn raised his hand, dangerous flames flickering around him once again.

Although the Unquenchable Flames couldn't cause fatal damage to the beast shadow in front of them, it seemed that they could effectively weaken its state.

That's enough! Faced with the terrifying flames flaring up again, the beast shadow seemed to bristle with anger. Its energy-formed body flowed like water waves, and it opened its mouth as if it were about to use its breath again.

Lynn, Alrad, Raphael, and Sanchez all looked tense, immediately switching from offense to defense. However, the beast shadow suddenly closed its mouth and, at an extremely fast speed, fled towards the hole blasted out by the breath.

Running away?!

Lynn was stunned. He didn't expect this guy to understand intimidation and use tactics.

The estimation of its intelligence immediately increased from eight to nine years old in his mind...

"Chase!" Lynn wouldn't give up such a good opportunity. It was hard enough to catch and weaken the opponent. If it escaped, it would be difficult to catch it again next time!

Raphael and the others quickly followed suit, and the four of them chased the beast shadow in the pitch-black mine.

After chasing for a while, they discovered that the interior of this mine was complex, and the radiation intensity and concentration of magic power were gradually increasing. The beast shadow kept changing direction, and its speed was extremely fast, seemingly trying to shake off the pursuit through this method.

However, Lynn and the others were not easy to deal with. Sanchez's transformed monster had a very good energy sensing organ. As long as they didn't get too far away, they wouldn't lose track.

The four soon chased deeper into the mine, and many crystal-like inlays appeared on the surrounding walls.

"This... is Magic Crystal?!" Lynn was quite surprised. Could it be that the interior of this uranium mine was actually a magic stone mine?

There seemed to be some connection between the radiation, magic power, and the energy body of the beast shadow in front of them.

Lynn immediately made up his mind not to let the other party return to its lair so easily, to avoid any future mishaps!

Seizing an opportunity, Lynn shot out another laser beam, cutting off a large piece of rock wall in front of the beast shadow. Heavy boulders crashed down, blocking its path.

Immediately afterward, the raging Unquenchable Flames surged up again.

Raphael and the others also cast spells to collapse more rock walls, blocking the beast shadow's way.

In just a second, the beast shadow was surrounded by Unquenchable Flames from all sides. Its eyes, like sapphires, narrowed, ready to make a final desperate resistance.

"Wait, we mean no harm. Perhaps we can talk!" Lynn suddenly spoke up, then realized that the other party probably didn't understand the common language. He expanded the ring of fire surrounding the beast shadow a bit and took a few steps back, showing his goodwill through actions.

After all, strictly speaking, there was no life-and-death conflict between the two sides; on the contrary, they complemented each other highly.

This demon beast didn't eat people, it just wanted to consume various high-energy ores. And from the demon stone it expelled, it could be seen that although it could eat some heavy elements, it couldn't digest them completely, which just met their requirements for refining raw materials.

Given this, Lynn ingeniously came up with a way to communicate with each other in the absence of a common language.

First, he used magic to gather the scattered gravel around and then stretched a flame into the shape of the beast shadow, imitating its previous actions, and swallowed all the ore just like the other party did.

The flame burned and purified, quickly removing the excess impurities, leaving behind uranium material less than one percent of its original size.

Lynn took away this purified ore and gathered another pile of gravel, repeating this process continuously, vividly depicting the days after surrendering to the other party.

Food would automatically be delivered every day, just need to swallow and eat, apart from here, where else could one find such a comfortable life?
