The Wizard: Starting by Scamming the Demon God

Page 188

Appeared……

A terrifying and surging magical power began to gather, and a long blue river circled behind Isaac, before branching out into tributaries that flew towards the nascent floating island!

"Fight back!"

The wizards of the Cult of Machines naturally wouldn't just stand by and watch Isaac act, but the wizards of the Cult of Flesh and Blood were no pushovers either. The high-level combat forces of both sides were once again entangled, and only some second-tier wizards and modified knights were able to launch an effective attack on Isaac.

Yes, second order.

As the saying goes, "Success and failure both depend on constructs." The wizards of the Cult of Machines are extremely powerful because they control a large number of constructs. However, once they lose their constructs, it is as if they have lost their limbs!

At this moment, the Chaotic Sky Sea, originally protected by a large number of constructs, was built into an impregnable fortress by the Mechanicus. Any high-level wizard who entered would be wiped out by the dense automatic firepower. As a result, the Mechanicus did not deploy many people to defend this place.

Therefore, after Isaac sacrificed all of the Mechanicus' constructs, the only ones left on the Mechanicus' side to stop Isaac were these second-tier Karami.

Strictly speaking, they weren't attacking Isaac, but rather Isaac's Greatsword Demon and the swarm of rats!

To attack a high-level wizard who can instantly kill a high-level wizard...

To be honest, they weren't that bold. Not to mention them, even Isaac wouldn't dare to challenge a third-tier high wizard when he was only at the second tier.

but……

"Pfft~"

Their spells and combat skills were swallowed by the swarm of rats, leaving not a ripple...

Oh no, to be precise, they did a little bit; they made the rat swarm spread even faster.

The core abilities of the third type of the Xiemai Demon Splitting Rat are two: the Heart of Xiemai and splitting. Originally, because its base is that of a demon rat, its magic power is too low, which makes it unable to effectively exert its splitting ability. It can only split once or twice before it is exhausted.

But after connecting to the Heart of the Pulse, everything is different. Like the Greatsword Demon, after forming a magic array similar to a battle formation, the Pulse Demon Split Rat Tritype not only has its individual abilities greatly enhanced, but more importantly, they can share magic power with each other!

The amount of magic that can be summoned has increased at least several thousand times!

Even with a small base of magic power, it is still quite considerable under such a terrifying number of combinations. The most significant point is the number of splits.

Unless all the demon rats can be killed in an instant, each demon rat can split into at least thirteen!

Without the intervention of an absolutely powerful force, the scale of the rat swarm will only grow larger and larger!

So although Isaac noticed their actions, he didn't react at all, because he didn't think much of it.

The rat swarm will only grow larger with their attacks, except for elemental magic, since those spells, once they hit, will leave the rats with nothing but ashes, because the prerequisite for splitting is to have remaining corpses.

As for the Greatsword Demon...

Aside from the wizards, it's questionable whether the remaining cyborgs can handle the Greatsword Demons one-on-one, let alone the Greatsword Demon army...

Let alone cyborgs, even wizards couldn't defeat them. This is a standard legion composed of second-tier greatsword demons, possessing power comparable to high-ranking knights in a head-on confrontation!

This is because Isaac's research on the Heart of Harmony is not deep enough, and the magic formation he formed is still quite crude. If it were a superhuman legion of the same level, let alone the third tier, the fourth tier would be a piece of cake!

Of course, this only applies to direct confrontations on the battlefield. In most cases, most legions, let alone fourth-tier knights, can be slowly worn down by third-tier knights. The mobility of the two is not on the same level.

Therefore, without the intervention of any high-level experts, Isaac's sabotage plan proceeded smoothly.

"Boom boom boom!!!"

Soon, under the frenzied destruction of the Greatsword Demon Legion and the Rat Swarm, the first floating island began to collapse with a "rumbling" sound, turning into huge rocks that sank into the seabed. It was unknown whether they would pass through the floating sea and fall into the endless sea below.

However, that's not important, and now is not the time to think about it. Besides, there's no need to think about it. We can find out by checking the information in the cult after the mission is over. The most urgent task now is to destroy the other floating islands as well.

Therefore, as the floating island collapsed, streaks of blood-red light and swarms of rats rose from it and sped toward other islands!

This scene enraged the members of the Mechanicus. The floating islands were of paramount importance to them; as mobile mechanical fortresses, when it came to the construction technology of floating cities, if the Mechanicus claimed to be second, no one would dare to claim to be first!

Although this thing will never end up in the hands of these little Karami, just like Isaac and the others, carrying out the sect's missions will still be rewarded, and the rewards will be extremely high!

Now, not only have the rewards been completely lost, but I might also be punished...

So whether it's the second, third, or fourth tier, they all seem to have been injected with adrenaline at this moment, and their combat power has suddenly increased to a new level!

Especially at the fourth tier, the fighting is even more frantic!

After all, for second- and third-tier wizards, the loss might only be a relatively generous reward, but for the fourth-tier wizards guarding this place, these floating islands could really fall into their hands!

At the very least, they will have priority in purchasing.

but……

It was still of no use. For others, it was just a little more pressure, but for Isaac, it was just a lot more noise in his ears.

In response, Isaac could only remark that compared to the Outer Gods, they were far too polite and well-mannered, showing absolutely no aggression.

Chapter 253 Return

Looking at the collapsed floating island, Isaac couldn't suppress a smile. After all, this meant that their mission was now complete. The mission requirements weren't high; they only needed to destroy one island. Destroying any more would be extra rewards!

The basic rewards alone are enough for a high-level wizard like him from a modest family to live comfortably. As for a fourth-tier miracle wizard...

Well, he can't see the rewards for the Miracle Wizard's quest, but they're probably about the same.

Therefore, every extra second they hold on will bring them even greater benefits!

Yes, keep going!

Despite Isaac and his forces' current overwhelming advantage, the Chaotic Sky Sea is a crucial strategic location for both sides, as evidenced by the troop deployments. The attacking side has two Miracle Wizards, three elite High Wizards, and numerous elite and powerful High Knights as followers, while the defending side boasts a construct-based defensive system that resembles a prison.

Even so, they still dispatched two fourth-tier miracle wizards and several high-level wizards to guard the area, which shows that they attached great importance to it.

The reason why Isaac and his team were able to attack so smoothly this time can be said to be largely due to Isaac's deal with the Outer Gods. If it were anyone else, even a miracle wizard, they might not have been able to deal with so many constructs so quickly.

Therefore, as early as when Isaac and his men began their attack, the distress signal had already reached the rear of the Mechanicus, and their highly mobile miracle wizards set off!

Even the reinforcements from the Cult of Machines might consist of several miracle wizards!

On the other hand, since they were the attackers, Isaac and his team's mission was only to cause destruction, which was considered a solo operation. They did not need to take the place and hold it, so they had no reinforcements behind them. If they did not retreat in time, they would be doomed.

Especially those of them who aren't even at the fourth rank!

So whether it's Isaac or the others, while actively fighting, they are also preparing to run away at any time. If anything goes wrong, they will not hesitate.

Take Isaac for example. Although he seemed to have given it his all, and indeed he had, he had actually remained detached from the battlefield from beginning to end. The main force causing destruction was the Greatsword Demon and the Rat Swarm. He had even prepared a spell to escape long ago.

While the others weren't as composed as him, they already had their corresponding methods in hand, waiting only for their fourth-tier wizards or the retreat orders from the sect's battlefield headquarters to arrive, at which point they would retreat immediately!

However, Isaac and his group didn't have to wait long before the order to retreat came from the fourth-tier miracle wizard. Although it wasn't the scheduled retreat time yet, Isaac had already destroyed a floating island and almost completely dismantled its defenses.

Next, the Cult of Machines will inevitably have to focus more on the defense here, which will greatly reduce the pressure on the Cult of Flesh and Blood on other battlefields. Therefore, their mission objectives for this trip have already been exceeded.

Upon receiving the retreat order from the fourth-tier wizard, Isaac's eyes flashed, and streams of electromagnetic light appeared on his body, instantly transforming into electromagnetic waves and disappearing from the spot.

However, he wasn't just focused on running away. While running away, he also did two other things. First, he ordered the rat horde and the Greatsword Ghost Legion to abandon their sabotage missions and instead send them to support other high-ranking wizards, thus creating an opportunity for their evacuation.

That's one thing. Secondly, a beam of electromagnetic light flew into the battlefield, engulfing Phoenix, who was excited and shimmering like the sun, into electromagnetic waves and quickly retreating from the battlefield.

He was brought by Isaac, so naturally, he should be taken with him when he leaves.

"Let's go. This is a parting gift." The black-robed wizard smiled wickedly, a black ball appeared in his right hand, and he casually tossed it away. Then, he and the green-robed wizard turned into streaks of light and disappeared from the battlefield.

The miracle wizards of the Cult of Machines were preparing to pursue and intercept when the terrifying energy emanating from the black sphere caused their expressions to change abruptly. They instantly changed their minds, joined forces to unleash their magic, and controlled the black sphere that was releasing terrifying and chaotic magic.

The two men looked extremely grim, not only because of the enormous losses they had suffered, but also because they seemed to... be unable to control this thing!

Damn it, could this thing be the one the Flesh and Blood Cult is actually using to complete their mission?

"Never mind them! Let's all control this thing!" The miracle wizard of the Cult of Machines shouted at the high wizards who were preparing to pursue and intercept it, while continuously channeling control magic.

Let alone the fact that there is no chance to capture them now, even if there were, the effect of capturing them would be minimal. The enormous losses caused this time cannot be offset by capturing a few attackers.

Rather than leaving a few attackers behind, the most important thing now is to control the black ball and further control the losses.

The other high wizards hesitated for only a moment before changing direction and flying to the side of the miracle wizard. Strange magical fluctuations wrapped around the black sphere, and together they controlled the black sphere.

……

Meanwhile, Isaac and his group, who had been scattered and retreating, gathered a few days later in a space interlayer carved out in the deep sea to check on their respective situations.

Of course, the main purpose was to have the two fourth-tier wizards check whether Isaac and the others had any backup plans left by the fourth-tier wizards of the Cult of Mechanism, especially the high-ranking knights they brought, such as Phoenix.

Otherwise, returning directly to the sect's headquarters would be far too risky.

but……

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with me?" Isaac, who had just entered the secret base and was playing with the power he had picked up from the Deep Sea Corruptor, frowned slightly and looked at himself with suspicion.

Although his electromagnetic flow was fast, he was quite cautious. He not only took a longer route, but also took Phoenix back to his own dimensional world to thoroughly erase all traces. So when he returned here, everyone else had already arrived.

So he could actually understand why everyone else was looking in their direction; it was normal.

but……

Even if you're going to stare, shouldn't you be looking at Phoenix, that barbarian knight? Why are you looking at this wizard? He's a mad wizard, what wizard would want to use their powers on him?

Would you touch a stick covered in poop?

It may sound strange to describe myself this way, but it's true.

So when everyone looked at him as soon as he came in, Isaac was puzzled. How could there be a problem with him?

Upon hearing this, everyone glanced one last time at the sinister Outer God power in Isaac's hand before looking away.

it is more than words.

Chapter 254 The Mad Witch Returns to Solitude

Noticing the gazes of the crowd, Isaac raised an eyebrow and immediately understood what they were looking at. He flicked his right hand, dispelling the evil god's power in his hand.

This was his biggest gain besides the mission rewards.

The reason it was excluded from the mission rewards is mainly because the Deep Sea Corruptor's own power domain is not highly compatible with Isaac's power system. Therefore, although the gains from this ritual were not low, they were not as significant as the sect's mission rewards for Isaac.

Therefore, the power he obtained from the Deep Sea Corruptor this time was still thrown into the dimensional world, becoming resources for the growth of the dimensional world.

Today, as Isaac's understanding of the wizarding path deepens, his views on the dimensional world have gradually changed. Once, Isaac regarded the dimensional world as his core power, and his ultimate vision was to become a dimensional lord.

After all, for him, this was an incredibly smooth path to godhood!

But now, Isaac no longer approves of this path!

Or rather, he has more options if he wants to become a god.

Furthermore, after advancing to the rank of High Wizard, the problem of the [Anchor Point] began to emerge. He could no longer recklessly attribute the power of the Outer Gods to himself as before, but obviously, it was impossible for him to turn off auto-pickup.
