I Created Scientific Magic-Chapter 429 - 417: The First Debut of the Original Fighter Jets

The tick-tocking sound echoed incessantly aboard the airship, jolting Sanchez's mind. His anxious expression gradually cooled after deciphering the message, and he immediately spoke up.

"Now, everyone turn around!"

Alec, filled with rage, was overjoyed, and the other airship operators also put in their utmost effort, expertly maneuvering the airships to change course—it was time for their counterattack!

Sirid, mounted on a massive fire dragon, wreaked havoc in the skies, oblivious to the fact that these airships were not merely in flight. Dozens of airships quietly changed direction, and under Lynn's command, they quickly formed an array. Bolts of lightning lit up one after another on each airship.

"Chain Lightning!" "Thunder Prison—Lightning Storm!"

Over fifty Thunder Mages cast spells simultaneously, instantly creating an electromagnetic domain that covered hundreds of meters.

By the time Sirid realized something was amiss, bluish-purple lightning already filled his entire field of view. The Divine Barrier around him cracked under the ferocious assault of the wild electric arcs, and the Molten Lava Fire Dragon beneath him roared angrily, slowing its wingbeats.

Soon after, dozens of intense laser beams swept in from all directions. The Molten Lava Fire Dragon, paralyzed and unable to dodge, was like a massive target and quickly got hit.

The strongest beam cleaved through the neck of the fire dragon, tearing through its tough scales and spewing forth molten blood like lava, staining the sky red...

However, the rest of the laser beams were far less powerful, merely slashing small, finger-thick wounds on the tough dragon scales without even penetrating the defenses.

"So tough!" Lynn inwardly gasped.

The most potent beam magic was, of course, his own doing, and it hadn't managed to slay the target despite hitting it dead on.

The effectiveness of other Beam Magic spells didn't even merit discussion, for they couldn't even slice through the dragon scales.

Although he had the airships widen their formation to avoid friendly fire, somewhat weakening the lasers' power, their inherent capability to cut through metal was still strong enough, yet now they were struggling even to breach the defense...

It seemed that even if the autocannons had scored a hit earlier, mere machine gun fire wouldn't have been enough to injure the enemy.

"This Wyrm-kind has high resistance to fire and heat, and the distance is too great. If it were closer, I believe the Beam Magic would still be effective!" Harrov said with a grave expression.

Regrettably, such an opportunity would only come once. After suffering a significant setback, Sirid manipulated the Molten Lava Fire Dragon to fly above them. This was the airships' second vulnerability; the large gasbag obstructed the pilots' line of sight, making it impossible to attack an enemy directly above.

It was their first time being at such an absolute disadvantage in speed. Harrov finally understood the frustration their former opponents felt when they couldn't land a hit on their targets.

If Vittorio had been there, he might have been able to seal the skies, limit the enemy's movements, and then use "Time-Space Blade" to deliver a fatal blow.

However, Vittorio and Aurora had gone ahead to arrange the next battleground.

Just then, a series of sharp and piercing howls suddenly filled the sky, and a dark mass appeared in everyone's field of vision.

"It's the Griffin Knights!" Harrov frowned slightly. They could barely contend with one fire dragon, but if these Griffin Knights got close, they could easily wreak havoc on the airship formation.

During the previous aerial battle over the capital, they had secured an absolute victory with their Beam Magic, but that was based on the novelty of the new magic and the enemy being caught off guard with poor intelligence.

It won't be that easy now!

Sure enough, as these Griffin Knights got closer, they deftly flew straight up into the high skies, ready to destroy the airship's gasbag from above and let it fall on its own, with no intention of entangling with them.

However, Lynn's expression relaxed, and he spoke. "Don't worry, our support has arrived too!"

This support naturally referred to Lydia's new fighter jets.

Since these machines carried limited fuel and had a limited range, and they were also equipped with a powerful weapon, Lynn had only instructed Lydia to pilot the fighter and come for support after confirming that the church really had caught up with them!

Now they had arrived at the same time as the Griffin Knights.

...

"Charge, all of you! We cannot let this disgraceful riffraff, the minions of evil, seize the empire's weapons of war!" A Griffin Knight brandished his war hammer, howling loudly.

"Kill these blasphemers!" "Charge, charge!"

The shouts thundered, uplifting the spirits of the hundreds of Griffin Knights as they fiercely rushed toward the outer aerial warships, determined to wash away the shame of their numerous past defeats!

But before their words had even faded, the roaring of machine guns filled the air, and several Griffin Knights, who had been leading the charge, were enveloped by a storm of bullets under everyone's watchful eyes. Their bodies were riddled like sieves.

"Damn it, what the hell is going on?" "Where is the enemy?" "It's an attack, an attack!"

Piercing cries echoed across the sky as the once formidable Griffin Knights descended into chaos.

Invisible fighter jets, enhanced with Polarization Magic, sped past, their cannon fire flashing through the sky and the sweeping barrages of machine-gun fire piercing the bodies of Griffin Knights in an instant, tearing them to shreds.

Blood splattered, and screams followed one after another.

Although Griffins had an incredible sense of smell, making optical invisibility less effective on them, the speed of the fighter jets was simply too fast. They had no way to locate the enemy based solely on smell.

Those fighter jets, cloaked with Polarization Magic and the cover of night, were like invisible reapers, constantly harvesting the lives of the Griffin Knights.

In the time taken to launch a counterattack and reclaim the King, the alchemical workshop's Wizards had once again produced and modified four magic fighter jets. The pilots were also the best chosen from among the Wizards, and although some lacked training, they were more than enough to handle the Griffin Knights.

Lydia, the most skilled pilot, targeted the massive Molten Lava Fire Dragon situated in the midst of the airship fleet.

As the button to fire the machine guns was pressed, the cannons mounted on the wings spoke again, and a chain of barrages continuously struck the back of the fire dragon, sparks flew, emitting a dull sound like steel clashing.

"So tough!" Lydia let out a lament similar to Lynn's. Considering that the fighter jet's cannon used armor-piercing rounds instead of lead bullets, and yet they were deflected by the dragon's scales.

But Lydia was not discouraged. She directly increased her speed to the maximum and charged straight toward the massive fire dragon ahead...
