The Wizard: Starting by Scamming the Demon God

Page 58

As he gave the order, a large number of flames appeared around Isaac, which quickly condensed into arrows under his control, ready to be fired!

"You..." The young man in the lead turned pale, but before he could finish speaking, Liuli rushed forward and brought her knight's longsword down on his head!

He had no choice but to draw his sword to block. Just as he was about to launch an attack, his anger was burning, but he was suddenly hit in the abdomen with a heavy punch. His eyes bulged, and his bloodshot eyes were filled with disbelief. Why? He couldn't sense this mysterious attack at all.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Even more incredibly, there were four such attacks!

Every blow hit his weakest point, making him see stars!

He was crippled almost immediately after the fight began!

The young man was horrified. He looked at Liuli in disbelief. The others wanted to help him, but they were blocked by the greatsword demons and two-headed demon wolves that rushed up. The battle instantly entered a white-hot stage!

"Multiple Flame Arrows!"

On the ground were troublesome glass monsters and demons, and in the sky were blazing fire arrows. In an instant, the situation became one-sided!

Everyone was shocked, but Isaac felt it was only natural.

If a wizard is fighting a warrior and is still getting overwhelmed even when prepared, then what's the point of learning magic? He might as well switch professions.

The real enemy is not them, but...

Isaac looked at Philo, who had already arrived in the town center. He had exhausted his usual methods, but he knew nothing about Philo's methods, putting him at a slight disadvantage...

The most critical issue is that he can only roughly determine that Philo has designs on the rats, or rather, on the divine network, but he doesn't know exactly what he wants to do.

"Tsk~ Troublesome~" Isaac shook his head and refocused his attention on the battlefield below.

In just a short while, the guy who had just made those threats was already lying on the ground with a huge wound on his chest, barely breathing.

The situation for the others wasn't much better. They could handle the Greatsword Demon and the Demon Wolf on their own, and even the two who had summoned their familiars could hold out for a while.

But after Liuli dealt with the youth and joined the battle, the situation quickly became clear. Isaac waved his hand, dispelling the flames around him to conserve his magic power, and then looked seriously in the direction where Filo was.

I overslept last night... I'll add two more chapters of 3,000 words later, I'm going to have some breakfast first.

Chapter 86 Chaotic Situation

"Not even a little bit of delay? Really..." In the center of the town, Philo held a mouse in his hand, stood in front of a huge magic circle, sighed, and then said to Remington behind him, who should be in another dimension, "Go and stall for time. No matter what, you are his own brother. He shouldn't be crazy enough to kill you yet."

"..." Remington's eyes were complicated, and he hesitated.

"Heh~ What are you hesitating for? You still expect to be brothers with him?" Philo chuckled disdainfully, shaking the mouse in his hand. "Don't forget, you're the one who brought this little guy to me."

"Sigh~" Upon hearing this, Remington sighed deeply and turned to walk heavily toward Isaac.

Philo scoffed at Remington's retreating figure, then looked at the magic circle in front of her with a hint of excitement.

“Angel has failed. Are you sure you still want to be enemies with that madman? I smelled a strong Outer God aura on him, and that madman has bought at least three kinds of Outer God trading ritual materials recently!” Philo said softly, a tentacle extending from his shoulder.

"It's just making deals with Outer Gods, haven't I done that before?"

"How can that be the same? You're making a deal, he's stealing!"

“…” Philo choked for a moment, then said somewhat guiltily, “It’s just a mouse, it can’t be that serious, can it?”

“First of all, this is clearly not an ordinary rat. Secondly, you’re plotting against him. Finally, and most importantly, you can’t kill him.” The mechanical tentacle spoke in the calmest words, revealing Philo’s deepest frustration.

No matter how insane Isaac was, or whether Angel was killed or not, none of that mattered to Philo as much as this last point...

So what if I'm a mad witch? So what if I'm a genius?

What's the use?

In this world, only the strong deserve our respect!

Genius? Survival is what counts!

Unfortunately... Isaac was one of those people you couldn't kill...

He was different from Angel. Even if Angel failed, she had high-ranking knights stationed in the town of Phyllis to clean up the mess. She had already arranged everything.

But Isaac is different. Behind Isaac is the Solomon family, a powerful border noble family with two high knights, a grand arcane mage who is advancing in rank, three thousand regular knights, and two thousand vassal legions!

Kill him… No, the high knights stationed in Phyllis Town won’t let her do it. He’s not like those useless people she orders around. If he dies, the Solomon family will go mad. The price they pay is something even the royal family can’t afford, let alone her!

If they were to develop rebellious intentions because of this, it would be a catastrophic blow to the empire!

The Empire's high-ranking knights are not few, but they are not many either. More importantly, if the Solomon family rebels, the difference between gaining and losing will be six high-ranking knights... If they also take some nobles with them, the losses will be even greater...

So Isaac absolutely cannot die, at least not here!

and so……

"So what?" Looking at the magic circle taking shape in front of her, Philo's lips curled into a wild smile. "As long as I kill him, it's not a big problem!"

"Is it really that small?" The tentacle glanced at Philo with a sinister look.

"If I'm not as skilled as someone my age, is there a problem?"

The magic circle in front of Philo shone even brighter, and the madness in her eyes rose accordingly.

"There's no problem, since you don't have the right to inherit the empire anyway."

"Yes, I have no right to the inheritance, so is there a problem with me killing Isaac? No problem at all!"

After saying that, Philo gave a cold laugh and threw the rat in her hand into the magic circle.

"boom!"

Before the rat even landed, a huge, bizarre golem with seven arms, six eyes, five heads, four corners, three mouths, two bodies, and one leg rose from the magic circle. The rat was then enveloped by a strange force field and lifted up by the seven arms, rising with it!

Before long, a colossal golem, hundreds of meters tall, stood in the center of the town of Phyllis!

Meanwhile, Isaac also eliminated the last enemy trial participant, thus ending this inexplicable Genie's Lamp Trial!

Three golden beams descended from the great lamp in the sky. One landed in the center of the town, beside Philo, while the other two landed on the edge of the town, beside Isaac and Angel.

"Huh?" Before Isaac could even check his loot and the giant statue that had appeared in the center of town, he was surprised to find that Angel's golden light was actually nearby. Immediately, he didn't bother to check and focused his attention on the direction from which the golden light fell.

“Don’t be so nervous, Mr. Isaac. I think we now have a common enemy and a common goal.” Angel slowly emerged from the shadows, holding a spellbook in her hands, and said with a smile.

Isaac narrowed his eyes as he looked at Angel's unharmed leg and said, "It seems you have many stories to tell. But don't you have the Book of Time? Do you still need to cooperate with me?"

After saying that, Isaac glanced at the spellbook in her hand.

“It’s precisely because I have the Book of Time that I’ve come to you for a collaboration~” Angel tilted her head and said playfully.

Isaac paused for a moment, then realized, so this means... this is a guide to the future?

"That's fine, but I don't trust you."

Angel nodded: "Of course, so I will tell you what Philo wants to do."

"Oh? Is that so?" Isaac raised an eyebrow. It was exactly what he needed. Because of Philo's status, he couldn't kill her, at least not now, and he couldn't do it anyway. The high knights stationed in the town of Philis wouldn't allow him to do so.

But who says revenge has to involve killing someone?

"What does she want to do?"

"Create a god!"

“? A divine species? That shouldn’t be the case. Could it be… a god?” After saying that, Isaac fell silent for a moment.

Because this is too crazy.

Although gods and gods are only one word apart and have a very deep connection, they are actually worlds apart!

For example, even though Isaac equipped the Divine Rat with the Bone God Technique, its combat power was still as weak as trash. It could only bully ordinary people to a little. Once it faced a superhuman, as long as the opponent was not careless, the Rat would be instantly killed.

And what about the gods?

If there were no restrictions from the main world, he could instantly kill high-ranking knights and high-ranking wizards with a flick of his finger!

The two are not even in the same dimension!

That's why Isaac fell silent after he finished speaking, because it was too outrageous, too crazy, and too much like something a mad witch would do...

In the end, Angel nodded gently, shattering Isaac's last illusion.

"Does she... want to destroy this country?" Isaac said, somewhat speechless.

Creating gods is one of the things wizards are most passionate about.

It has nothing to do with strength.

For example, the creator of Isaac's manuscript was a weak person with limited abilities, but he was still incredibly passionate about it and eventually studied the divine species, trying to glimpse the power of the gods from them.

However, not all wizards who studied gods were weak. Isaac alone saw seven recorded experiments by wizards to create gods, six of which failed. The only successful one went uncontrolled, escaped, and became an evil god, almost severing the wizarding lineage of that time.

Fortunately, a powerful figure who had been sleeping was eventually awakened and sealed away, which allowed the wizarding tradition to continue.

So, the most important thing about this experiment isn't whether it can succeed, but whether it can be controlled!

"Perhaps," Angel smiled slightly. Who knew what these mad witches were thinking? "I only know that she has a chance of succeeding. Do you know what her innate witchcraft is?"

"Devouring, plundering?"

Angel looked surprised: "How did you know?"

“I’m guessing, otherwise I can’t think of any reason why you would betray her.” Isaac shrugged, then said, “I think you could say it quickly, she seems to be starting soon.”

Isaac narrowed his eyes as he watched the colossus gradually light up with magic circuits.

Angel looked helpless. Yes, if it weren't for that, why would she betray the eldest princess? After all, she had been so good to her.

"Then I'll make it short. I don't know the specific magical effects, but I do know that this magic has complicated conditions. First, it requires plundering three at the same time, so you need to prepare three materials. Second, they must be corpses. Third, it cannot be used on yourself."

"Hmm, hmm?" Isaac looked at Angel in surprise. "Can't it be used on yourself?"

"I was also puzzled, but this is the insight I gained from the future."

"Revelation? If you alter the past, you'll also erase your own memories?" Isaac asked curiously.

"Well, modifying the recent ones won't have any impact, but I myself will lose my memory over time. However, I can give hints so that people from the past know that the 'past' has been modified. Besides these three points, there are many other conditions, and that's why I've been alive until now."

"It's a bit convoluted, but I roughly understand. In short, according to you, she wants to sacrifice me, you, and another person to transform that big guy into a true god?"

“Yes, but the third one isn’t human, it’s your mouse. You shouldn’t have left it alone,” Angel said with a hint of helplessness.

She had wanted to remind Isaac when she was planning the plan, but the closer it got to the plan, the more thorough Philo's surveillance of her became, and she couldn't find an opportunity to speak up.

Upon hearing this, Isaac simply nodded. He was now somewhat certain that Angel's historical records did not know everything.
