The Wizard: Starting by Scamming the Demon God

Page 4

Monster hearts are considered a relatively precious material and are not easy to obtain.

It's not easy for him right now, because not all monsters have a heart...

"Hmm? No, I'm thinking off-topic!" Suddenly, Isaac shook his head, got up and walked towards the demonized rat. With a "ripping" sound, a ferocious demonic claw emerged from the back of his head once again.

I almost forgot, the demonic heart transplant surgery itself isn't important; what's important is combining it with the innate sorcery of flesh-and-blood transformation.

Admittedly, a powerful demonized heart can greatly enhance the strength of a modified body, but correspondingly, the magic power consumed when casting innate sorcery will also increase.

Therefore, from this perspective, perhaps we don't need to overemphasize individual strength. Although the Demonized Rat is weak, it has its advantages. At least the cost of converting into a Demonized Rat is not high. And although a single Demonized Rat is weak, if there are many of them...

Its power won't be much less!

Even a large number of ants can kill an elephant!

If a rat swarm can be unleashed, it will be hard to say who is stronger. Not to mention first-tier monsters, there aren't many second-tier monsters that can ignore a rat swarm.

Worth a try!

Of course, all of this is based on one premise—the cost of transforming the demon rat is very low.

Walking to the cage in the corner, after observing it for a moment, the Demon Claw picked up a demonized rat with its two claws and tossed it gently. Then, a mouth full of ferocious serrated teeth appeared in the palm of the Demon Claw!

Swallow the demon rat in mid-air in one gulp!

In an instant, the physical structure of the demonized rat appeared clearly in Isaac's mind!

Isaac stroked his chin thoughtfully; this... was something he hadn't expected...

Sensing the body structure of the demonized rat in his mind, Isaac narrowed his eyes slightly. The potential of the flesh-transformation magic was far more astonishing than he had imagined. In just a short while, three plans to optimize the body structure of the demonized rat had already appeared in his mind!

"Hi~hoo~"

Isaac took two deep breaths to calm himself down, then looked at the rat carcass in the corner. He decided to take things one step at a time, first testing the consumption of transforming the demonized rat, and then slowly optimizing the transformation of the demonized rat.

The flesh-and-blood conversion spell has two activation conditions, one of which is consuming a biological sample. However, this can be done by a magical pet on Isaac's behalf, which is also the original purpose for which magical pets were developed.

Many spells have disgusting conditions for casting; some even involve swallowing rotting corpses, let alone live rats!

Therefore, the existence of magical pets is very important.

Besides the necessary condition of consuming biological samples, flesh-and-blood transformation also requires another condition—an equal amount of demonized flesh-and-blood.

This casting condition is not mandatory. You can create a demonized rat with magic power even without demonized flesh and blood, but it will consume a lot of magic power. It is best to prepare some demonized flesh and blood.

With a thought from Isaac, a strange, blood-red ray of light shot out from the index finger of the demonic claw, accurately hitting the rat carcass in the corner trash can.

Then, a miraculous scene unfolded: the rat corpse struck by the crimson light trembled slightly and "came back to life"!

"Hmm... so little?" Isaac was pleasantly surprised after sensing the magic consumption. With this level of consumption, he could release hundreds of spells continuously!

Of course, the premise is that there must be enough demonized flesh and blood. If it is simply condensed by magic power, then he will run out of mana at most with just a dozen or so demonized rats.

But that's nothing. Demonized flesh and blood are much easier to obtain than demonized hearts, and they're also cheaper!

I just don't know how long the demonized rats created by the flesh-and-blood conversion can last...

This is quite important. If it can be maintained, that would be excellent, as it would easily raise a huge monster army. However, the consumption would be greater, since they would need to eat.

However, if it can only be maintained for a period of time, that's fine. Although you can't mass produce troops, you can make drastic modifications to the demonized rats and do everything you can to enhance their combat power. Don't worry about their lifespan, since they will die when the magic time is up anyway.

In short, regardless of the type, this witchcraft has great potential!

Chapter 6 Goblins and Goblin Slayer

The next morning, a beam of golden sunlight shone through the window adorned with simple paper-cut decorations and fell on Isaac's smiling face, making it appear exceptionally radiant.

Looking at the mutated rat on the operating table, which had grown two sizes larger, its bulging muscles and sharp claws proved that it had already undergone a complete transformation!

This is the result of Isaac's all-night gaming session - a quad-core powered mutated mouse!

Quad-core, which means four hearts!

It sounds absurd, but after gaining an extremely detailed understanding of the mutated rat's body structure through his innate sorcery, and with the aid of magical spells, Isaac eventually managed to create it.

Four hearts, four times the magic!

Of course, this also means four times the blood supply...

Even with the added effect of the magic spell, the four-core demon rat can only maintain its power for a maximum of three hours. After half an hour, its body will begin to collapse and its strength will weaken. After an hour, it will be completely unable to move. Without the magic spell, the time will be even shorter!

The optimal combat effectiveness is around twenty minutes.

However, this was enough for Isaac, because the flesh-and-blood transformation only lasted for one hour, and more magic power would be needed to keep it alive afterward.

Ideally, this could be maintained for an hour, but with Isaac's current knowledge, that's all he can do.

However, that's enough. In a real battle, with the power of the demon rat, it's difficult to survive for more than five minutes unless you're extremely lucky and manage to avoid all damage.

"Tear~"

A hideous claw emerged from the back of Isaac's neck, the back of its hand rubbed against Isaac's cheek, two sharp fingers gently pinched the unconscious quad-core heart-transplant rat, tossed it gently up, and then it fell into the palm of its large, serrated mouth!

"Crunch~ Crunch~"

Hearing the chewing sounds of the devil's claws, Isaac's face turned pale, then he let out a long sigh of relief.

Familiars are truly the greatest invention in the history of wizarding!

However, Isaac was not affected for long. After all, he had already swallowed quite a lot. His attention was quickly diverted to the information flow from the demonic claw, which showed the latest body structure of the quad-core heart-transplant rat.

Isaac narrowed his eyes slightly. Just as he had predicted, although there was still room for development, the effects wouldn't be very noticeable. He needed to acquire more knowledge; for now…

I should probably start researching Blood Essence Potions.

Bloodline Essence Potion is a potion that strengthens bloodlines and is related to heart transplant surgery, making it a superior alternative.

After all, the original purpose of heart transplant surgery was to allow humans to possess the power of monsters, and the correct way to use this witchcraft is to use it on humans.

After a normal human being receives a Tier 1 Demonic Heart transplant, their strength will be greatly enhanced in a short period of time, rapidly reaching the level of a quasi-knight!

Each person can have their heart replaced three times. If each replacement of the demonized heart is upgraded by one level, then eventually, an ordinary person can become a powerful being comparable to a Grand Knight!

Anyone can do it if the surgery is successful!

Well, that's assuming the surgery is successful, and the success rate of a heart transplant...

Even Isaac, who has a history of complications, still faces the possibility of failure, which demonstrates the difficulty of this surgery.

The effects of the Bloodline Essence Potion are similar to those of a heart transplant, both granting power to humans and monsters. However, the Bloodline Essence Potion grants a purer bloodline. While it doesn't work as quickly as a heart transplant, it is safer.

And it doesn't affect potential; in fact, drinking too much can even increase potential.

Through generations of research and development, the Bloodline Essence potion can now even affect the bloodline of monsters, and many wizards use it to train magical pets.

While for most wizards, a pet is simply a companion that makes learning and casting spells easier, it would be great if it could make the pet stronger.

However, this also makes bloodline essence potions not very valuable...

It doesn't matter anyway, he's not making money from this, as long as it works.

He is now thirsting for all knowledge of magic!

"Dong Dong~"

"Young Master Isaac."

However, just as Isaac was about to sit down and study the spells needed to brew the potion, Butler Smith knocked on the door, causing Isaac to frown slightly.

He had already told me when we went out to eat that I shouldn't bother him unless it was something important.

but……

Although he was called a lord, he was actually just a manor owner with a few plots of farmland and a village of two or three hundred people. He couldn't even collect taxes; he just didn't have to pay taxes himself. Solomon's territory was responsible for many things.

"Come in."

"Young Master Isaac." Smith bowed respectfully to Isaac as he entered, his brow furrowing slightly as he caught a glimpse of the bloodstains on the operating table, and he sighed inwardly.

It still turned out like this...

In reality, with the Solomon family's power, while obtaining a wizarding lineage was difficult, it wasn't impossible. After all, they were viscounts, and their family had a stable lineage of arcane sorcerers.

The reason we didn't find one for Isaac was because we were worried he would go astray. After all, wizards have a very bad reputation, and many of their spells are extremely primitive and evil, so it's dangerous to study them.

But no one expected that, with just a few random books of information, young Isaac would become a legendary wizard...

'Sigh~'

Thinking of this, Smith sighed heavily again, but there was nothing he could do, after all, he was just a butler.

"What happened?" Isaac asked calmly, tapping the scroll lightly.

“Young Master Isaac, the guards spotted goblins outside the castle today,” Smith said, rising to his feet and frowning.

Upon hearing this, Isaac also frowned.

Goblins are a classic and troublesome magical creature with green skin, a fierce face, and a height of about one meter. Although they are magical creatures, they are extremely weak. An adult can kill several of them with a wooden stick as long as they overcome their fear.

But why is it described as troublesome?

Because the goblins of this world are the creation of a legendary wizard who endowed them with an incredibly terrifying ability to reproduce; a pair of goblins can lay dozens of goblin eggs!

Moreover, the growth cycle is very short, taking only a few days from hatching to full maturity!

Moreover, according to legend, this thing has been implanted into the laws of the world by that wizard. No matter how you try to eliminate or prevent it, every year during the goblin breeding season, goblins will emerge from mysterious places, burning, killing, looting, and committing all sorts of evil deeds.

If not stopped in time, their numbers will surge in a short period of time!

Therefore, any trace of goblins discovered anywhere must be cleared out immediately.

"Has the territory been reported?"

"We've reported it, but the guards alone might not be able to handle them. Should we call in the Goblin Slayer?"

"Please go ahead, safety is more important." Isaac sighed, wondering if this expense would be reimbursed.

Guards, also known as militia, are generally good at maintaining order, but they are not very useful on the battlefield, even when facing weak goblins. Goblin Slayers, on the other hand, are superhumans who have been granted special powers by a legendary wizard. They are skilled at fighting goblins and can gain power from killing them.

Many unorthodox knights survived their most difficult period by killing goblins before acquiring the Breathing Technique.

Upon seeing this document, Isaac suspected that the two legendary wizards might be the same person!

Transferring money from one hand to the other – a win-win situation!
