The Wizard: Starting by Scamming the Demon God

Page 83

Harmon tilted his paw, mimicking Isaac by casually grabbing some bones from the ground. He opened his blood-red eyes and examined them carefully, pretending to scrutinize them. He then pointed at his paw and tossed the bones to the ground with a satisfied expression.

Little brother, you've grown up!

Deeper into the cave, you can see a giant skeletal rat, five meters tall, lying on the ground. Unlike the empty skeletons and undead in Isaac's memory, this skeletal rat has a lot of bones filling the spaces between its bones, making it incredibly dense, as if it had real flesh and blood.

The magical energy emanating from his body was as high as the second tier!

The only drawback is that the ghostly blue soul flame in its pupils is relatively weak and cannot support its enormous body, but the mouse seems to have a solution.

Under the watchful eyes of Isaac and the others, the rat was perched on a high platform, looking down at the giant skeletal rat. Two huge, pale bone claws extended from the rat's shoulders, and every now and then it would grab a handful of live rats from the side, crush them, and then pour the crushed meat onto different parts of the giant skeletal rat.

As the flesh and blood nourished it, it was clear that the ghostly blue soul fire in the skeletal rat's eyes was slowly growing stronger, making it closer and closer to a true second-tier undead!

This scene, which almost violated the law of conservation of energy, surprised Isaac. Normally, no matter how many ordinary creatures sacrificed, they could not synthesize a high-ranking being, let alone a second-rank being, not even a first-rank being.

Simple synthesis is not enough; a higher-level entity must be involved in this process.

For example, Isaac's flesh-and-blood transformation. Under normal circumstances, as a first-tier being, he could only create first-tier monsters. He could create monsters of higher tiers because his innate spells originated from demons, and were not ordinary spells in essence.

Even so, he still needs to consume a lot of energy to create a second-tier monster.

But the situation with the rat is different now. Although it is a divine species, this only means that it has high potential. In essence, it is still a first-order creature, and normally it can only create first-order undead.

but now……

Isaac watched as the rat's pale, bony claws crushed the live rat once more, stroked his chin, and nodded thoughtfully. It didn't seem like simply crushing a rat.

At least, if the bone claws were to exert normal force, the mouse wouldn't have shattered so evenly and so smoothly...

Even putting it in a blender wouldn't produce such a smooth and thick minced meat...

"Is this its newly acquired power, Necromancer Tyrant?" Isaac turned to look at Liuli curiously. He didn't have any power, so he couldn't tell whether the rat was using a power or not. He could only judge based on his own knowledge that this was not a normal method.

Liuli nodded: "However, it doesn't seem to think of it as power; it thinks it's something it developed itself."

Isaac smiled, "But that's not wrong. The powers that gods gain are related to their own experiences. They are not acquired for no reason, nor can they get whatever they want."

The mouse's experiment had clearly reached a critical moment, so much so that it was completely absorbed in it and did not notice the arrival of Isaac and the others.

Isaac raised his hand to estimate the time, then looked at the giant skeletal rat. Judging that there should be enough time, he led Liuli and Hamon out of the cave so as not to disturb the rat.

Next, all you need to do is prepare for the battle and then wait quietly.

Although the most intense battles took place on the third island, the third day was actually the easiest for Isaac.

Because he no longer needed to worry about anything, he could go all out, turn all the blood and flesh essence he had accumulated over the past two days into a Greatsword Demon and throw it out, and then welcome victory.

If you're lucky, you might not even need to activate infinite magic.

However, Isaac felt it was unrealistic. Although he had collected the essence of flesh and blood of more than three hundred Greatsword Demons in the past two days of hunting, his magic power could not create that many. He could only create three at a time, and after that, he would have to slow down.

Although his second source of magic power has been successfully forged into a Noble Phantasm, energy storage is actually just a secondary function. Its main ability is to accelerate magic power recovery. During the activation of the Noble Phantasm, it can restore all of his magic power approximately every minute!

Beta version with unlimited magic!

So his current combat strength... is actually still quite awkward...

There are too many shortcomings; even if you fix one, there will be a whole bunch more.

The burst of power still relies on infinite magic; over a thousand greatsword demons swept through the island!

It should be able to push through... right?

Isaac is not so sure now, mainly because the sea creatures have made him lose confidence these past two days. Although he has gained a lot, he has also witnessed the sea creatures' war potential.

And so, a peaceful night passed. The morning sun shone on Isaac's face. He twisted his neck and pulled the bronze-encased flesh-and-gem from his wizard's robes, ready to unleash his infinite magic at any moment.

"Squeak~"

The moment the sunlight shone down, the wet mouse shook off the water and quickly climbed onto Isaac's shoulder, squeaking and waving its paws triumphantly.

The Necromancer Tyrant was completed half an hour ago, but just as it was about to climb back onto Isaac's shoulder, it was grabbed by Liuli, who then found a stream and threw it in, giving it a thorough cleaning inside and out.

But the effect is actually quite average, because the hamster is not an ordinary mouse, and it is a domesticated one. It has a habit of using magic to clean its body, so it is not dirty to begin with.

However, having been immersed in a high concentration of necromantic magic for the past two days, it inevitably became tainted with a lot of necromantic magic, presenting Isaac and the others with an unparalleled stench of decay.

This putrid smell originated from magic and could not be washed off. Therefore, even after being thrown into the water and thoroughly rinsed for more than ten minutes by Liuli, the mouse still had a strong putrid smell on its body.

However, Isaac had no solution to this problem. At least he didn't know how to deal with it. Although he had forbidden knowledge about bone magic from the Black Orc God, he did not intend to delve into the realm of necromancy, and naturally he did not have the corresponding deodorizing methods.

Fortunately, after staying overnight, Isaac had gotten used to the smell a little and it wasn't too unpleasant.

Besides, the mouse is trying so hard, and he still rejects it, that's really inhuman.

"boom!"

Time passed slowly, and soon the golden barrier on the third island gradually dissipated, and Isaac and the others began to teleport one after another...

The Battle for the Islands: The Final Showdown Begins!

Chapter 128 The Final Chapter of the Island Battle!

Unlike the random teleportation on the first day, the third day involves a group teleportation. This applies not only to subordinate groups like Isaac's with a magical contract, but also to ordinary adventure teams that are only temporarily cooperating in the battle.

Conversely, if they have no relation or are hostile, then even if the two are tied together with ropes on the third day, teleportation will separate them.

It's a very strange mechanism, so some people have always suspected that there is actually a manipulator behind the island battle.

However, this is irrelevant to Isaac. In any case, this mechanism is a great benefit to him, at least he doesn't have to worry about how to reunite.

At least that's what Isaac thought a second ago.

"Tear!"

As Isaac looked on with a puzzled expression, Hamon emerged from the back of his neck, his large hand gently covering Isaac's head. Liuli also silently took a step closer and hid in the shadow cast by Hamon.

Before Isaac could even ask, he already knew why.

It turns out that the teleportation mechanism in the battle treats the rats summoned by the rat with its power as rats' familiars as well. One familiar summons a whole bunch of familiars!

According to the teleportation mechanism of the battle, the same team must teleport together. There are limited places available for teleportation, and there are too many rats, after all, it is a rat swarm!

Rats everywhere!

So the message could only reach the heavens, and then, on this picturesque third island, it started raining mice...

Watching the rats tumbling down with a clatter, Isaac's lips twitched slightly. He was now certain that there was no one behind the teleportation mechanism before!

Otherwise, anyone with a modicum of intelligence wouldn't do something so stupid.

But it was precisely this "rain of rats" that caused the island battle on the third day to take a different turn than before...

In previous island battles, although the third day's fighting was chaotic, it still maintained a certain pattern: those with more crystals would hide, those with fewer crystals would chase after others, and those who were strong and wanted to compete for first place would actively hunt down other crystal holders.

In general, the relationship remains that of hunter and prey, only now that the roles are defined, the target is clearer.

But this time was different. The moment the rat rain fell, the people on Forest Island remembered the seemingly endless rat swarm and their expressions changed instantly. Some even mistook it for a new mechanism in the battle. The people on Desert Island had never seen a rat swarm before, and they thought it was some powerful wizard preparing to cast some kind of curse.

After all, these rats have no magic and their physical strength is not high. Falling from such a height, only a few lucky ones survived, while the vast majority died instantly.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a curse ritual performed by an evil wizard!

Therefore, regardless of which island they came from, a faint sense of panic arose in their hearts at this moment. This panic was deeply stimulated by the increasing number of rats falling down, hitting rocks and trees, and the corpses and bloodstains left on their bodies.

then……

Whether out of nervousness or by underhanded tactics, someone launched the first attack on the others, and this action instantly became the fuse that ignited the battlefield!

In an instant, the entire third island was plunged into chaos!

Seeing this absurd scene, Isaac's eyes widened. Wait, what's going on? Why is this process different from the intelligence?

Although surprised and confused, Isaac quickly realized that this was his chance!

Immediately, the quicksand beneath his feet spun, quickly swallowing Isaac and Liuli into the ground, leaving only the Rat's Necromancer Tyrant fighting outside.

On one hand, it serves as multiple informants, allowing Isaac to know what's happening outside at any time. On the other hand, it's also to stir things up further. The Necromancer Tyrant created by the mouse isn't very strong in combat. Although its stats are quite high, that's all it has, and it doesn't offer much help to Isaac in battle.

But if the Necromancer Tyrant is used to stir up trouble, then there is nothing more suitable than it!

Its body is filled with dense death magic, and it will attack all living beings indiscriminately. For melee brutes, this is a super anti-armor!

Although its combat power is average, the Necromancer Tyrant's rank is not low. As the Necromancer Lord, it is born with an aura skill - within a radius of 100 meters, all the dead will be resurrected in the form of necromancers and driven by the Necromancer Tyrant!

Although these undead are the lowest-ranking, non-tiered undead, the most terrifying aspect of this spell is often not its ability to spawn troops, but the unparalleled fear it brings to the living!

The combination of the two makes for an absolute freak!

And things did indeed develop as Isaac had predicted. The massive, terrifying necromantic tyrant attracted everyone's attention as soon as it entered the battlefield, for necromantic creatures were truly rare.

Furthermore, necromancers are now almost extinct due to their terrifying side effects, and they are basically only found in the depths of the wilderness, the deep sea, and some cults of evil gods.

Therefore, people know very little about it, and the few descriptions that exist are all tinged with terror.

Thus, its appearance planted a seed of fear in everyone's hearts. And this fear was amplified when the first adventurer who attacked the Undead Tyrant managed to break open the Tyrant's thick skeleton with a single sword strike, but nearly half of its body was corroded by the magic of death, leaving it in a state of worse than death...

This fear erupted instantly!

Some scattered and fled, some realized that battle aura could effectively resist the magic of death and thus launched an attack, while others took advantage of the chaos to fish in troubled waters.

This chaotic situation entered a new phase when the first adventurer, the undead, stood up!

"Pfft!"

In the chaos, a girl with blonde hair tied in a ponytail took advantage of the confusion and beheaded a sea creature with a single sword strike. She then retreated to her teammates, frowned, and asked the arcane mage Evan, "Do you think it was his doing?"

"According to rumors, he has a divine rat familiar that can use simple necromancy. Last night, he stopped us from dealing with the rat swarm. Now, such a special necromancer lord has appeared. It's hard not to think of him." As they talked, arcane light shone in Evan's hands, and exquisite small energy shields blocked attacks from blind spots in the chaos for his teammates.

"Then shall we retreat?" the blonde girl said without any hesitation.

Although they haven't killed enough sea creatures on this trip, the current situation is gradually exceeding their capabilities. If it drags on any longer, she has the supplies her family provided to save her life, but her teammates might not.

As the team leader, she needs to be responsible for her teammates.

“A wise move!” Evan had no objections. If he were a second-tier archmage, he would have let Servie continue fighting, but unfortunately, he wasn’t.

Arcane mages are steady and reliable, with a wide variety of methods and an endless stream of spells that can handle most situations. However, they also have weaknesses; they have always lacked a powerful combat method in a certain area.

Even serious combat wizards rarely master this skill, so he certainly wouldn't.

Not all wizards are the same.

"withdraw!"

After gaining the approval of the wise man in the team, Servie immediately led the squad to break through to the edge of the island. In the port of this third island, there were also several ships belonging to the Noy family. Once boarded, it would mean entering the Noy family's protection zone. Although they would lose their eligibility to fight, they would be able to save their lives.
