And it was an Earth Dragon, famed for its defense. They forged a huge box from magical refined iron, then released eleven fireballs according to the report. That Earth Dragon was instantly blasted to death.
Only then did people realize that the magic maniac had been a master of magical mathematics!
After that, many mages revered the theory as sacred scripture, and some even went astray because of it. Yes, the theory was indeed correct, but its conditions were extremely demanding. The problem was that many people only noticed its first half—the power was so immense that it left people dumbfounded.
Like Super Magic, this was magic that most people could not master, and its mana consumption and chanting time were enough to make most people shy away.
