The Wizard: Starting by Scamming the Demon God

Page 55

Isaac glanced at it and a strange look appeared on his face; this was a bit...

……

"Gentlemen, could you please hand over the magic lamp?"

In an alley south of the town of Phyllis, a black vortex suddenly appeared, blocking four or five adventurers. The one in front was a member of the adventure team that had obtained the little magic lamp, while the others were there to give chase.

Upon hearing the sound coming from the black vortex, everyone's expression changed, and they immediately stopped in their tracks, cautiously watching the black vortex and tightening their grip on their longswords.

When they saw the person emerging from the black vortex, their expressions changed drastically!

Angel, the Wheelchair Witch!

Isaac's companion, a sorcerer of extreme evil, is said to be able to cripple someone's legs with just a glance! This can leave adventurers destitute and miserable for the rest of their lives!

The news has spread like wildfire throughout the town of Phyllis!

Several adventurers who have been disabled in both legs for over ten years have come forward to testify, so it couldn't be more true!

So the moment they saw Angel, everyone immediately stood at attention.

However, Angel's coercion was ultimately no match for Isaac's. So, despite his fear, the bearded man still wanted to take a gamble and didn't want to hand over the magic lamp so easily. He said with a forced smile, "The magic lamp is with my second brother. You've got the wrong person."

The bearded man wasn't too worried about his lie being exposed, because they had decided on the spot before they parted ways who would carry the magic lamp, and the lamp was wrapped in a magic cloth they had specially prepared. This cloth could not only isolate magical fluctuations, but also prevent some divination spells.

So it's still possible to get away with it!

If it were Isaac or Philo who encountered him, it would be quite possible for him to fool them, because searching a warrior's body by a wizard is quite risky. Of course, with the presence of familiars and summoned creatures, it wouldn't be so easy to fool them.

But for Angel, she didn't need to be searched; she was certain the magic lamp was on the bearded man because that was the direction she had chosen.

"This is your last chance. Hand over the magic lamp, and I might spare your life."

"I want to give too..."

“Kill him.” Angel didn’t give the bearded man a chance to finish speaking. She gently shook her head, and the evil spirit behind her immediately appeared. The evil eye between her brows fixed the bearded man’s soul, and then she slapped down with a claw!

Just mash it into mince!

The claws, wreathed in evil energy, carefully lifted a magically wrapped lamp from the meat sauce, shook it gently, and presented it to Angel.

"Goo!"

The other adventurers stared at the pile of minced meat on the ground, swallowing hard, cold sweat pouring down their faces. Thankfully, they weren't the ones who got the magic lamp…

Because they will most likely make the same decision as the bearded man...

After all, while Angel was also infamous, it was mostly rumors, not as real as Isaac's... record.

We still haven't decided what to do with some of the minced meat!

Fortunately, Angel left immediately after obtaining the magic lamp without harming them, which greatly relieved them.

With that, the second magic lamp was obtained.

The next day, Philo brought back a third magic lamp. This was because Isaac's actions the night before had frightened them, so they discussed it and decided to share one with them.

What if Isaac does it again...?

That would be very troublesome.

The main problem is that even though Isaac has killed everyone, it would be fine. The problem is that even though those people are turned into a bloody mess, they are still considered alive!

Those magic network mages even retained their brains and mouths!

He can still speak normally!

That's terrifying!

Now a bunch of family members are making a scene, and they don't dare to bother Isaac. They're so annoyed that they'd love to use a little magic lamp to appease Isaac.

Anyway, there are some forces that don't want to participate in this Genie's Lamp Trial anymore, so there are plenty of them.

And so, the stage of obtaining a spot, which the three of them thought was the most difficult, was completed by Remington without him even having to lift a finger. What followed was a long waiting period... waiting for all the magic lamps to fall.

"Tsk~ What a loss~"

On the second floor of the Veteran's Tavern, Isaac leaned against the window, watching the pedestrians on the street with a bored expression, and sighed.

He initially accepted Philo's invitation partly because he was interested in the Genie Lamp Trial and the summonable familiars, and partly because he wanted to accumulate some practical experience. It's never reliable to reinvent the wheel without a plan; you can't just rely on brute force to fight anyone, can you?

What if my brick isn't as big as theirs?

Well, in the end, not a single one was satisfied...

But who knows? Isaac narrowed his eyes. His greatest strength was that he was never arrogant. The empire was so powerful, it certainly didn't rely on adventurers. The real geniuses were all among the nobles. Those who were now snatching the little lamp might not be the ones to participate in the trial. Some were just trying to sell it, while others were just pawns of powerful figures behind the scenes.

In short, the final opponent might be quite interesting!

"Hey~ let's wait a bit longer then, what do you say, little mouse~" Isaac raised his hand to tease the little mouse.

"Squeak?" The hamster, who was munching on a piece of cheese, looked up in confusion. Did it still have a say in this kind of thing? Had its status become so high?

Chapter 83 Therefore, the Holy Grail War could not possibly proceed normally!

"Habarina Kabarina! Hanuna~ It's so hot today! Kunkun Seumida &*%&~"

In a valley outside the town of Phyllis, Isaac stood before a magic circle radiating golden light, chanting long and complex incantations. The small magic lamp in the center of the circle emitted a dazzling golden light, slowly floating in mid-air and emitting powerful magical fluctuations!

It's still the standard circle and six-pointed star. It seems that legendary wizards all like to use this basic magic circle, which is different from arcane wizards. Of course, Isaac likes it too. This kind of magic circle is very easy to modify.

After a while, Isaac gradually stopped chanting the incantation, and the golden light in the magic circle slowly dissipated. Above the magic circle, a knight's longsword appeared—the Noble Phantasm: Severing All Things!

Unlike normal Noble Phantasms, as the summoner, Isaac knew the name and ability of this Noble Phantasm without even holding it in his hand. Its ability was extremely simple yet terrifying. Just like its name, it could cut everything in the world in two by reciting the release spell!

This is obviously just the creator bragging.

In reality, it is a Noble Phantasm created with slashing spells as its core. The stronger the Noble Phantasm's master, the more things this sword can cut through. Theoretically, it is indeed possible to cut through everything, but it is only a possibility.

Moreover, it's the person who's strong, not the sword, and not everyone is some green algae-headed swordsman.

But no matter what, having a powerful weapon is still pretty good.

"Liuli, this is for you."

"Yes, Master."

Behind Isaac, Liuli nodded gently, stepped forward to take the Wanwu Liangjian (a magical artifact), examined it for a moment, then tucked it into her waistband. She then returned to Isaac's side and waited quietly with him for the other eight rituals.

Yes, Isaac wasn't the only one who chose the Noble Phantasm. Just as he had guessed, many of the forces in the town of Phyllis that had been vying for the Little Genie Lamp weren't using it themselves, but rather preparing it for the forces behind them.

The Terra Empire is an empire on the rise, healthy and full of upward vitality. Therefore, most of the geniuses are concentrated in the hands of the government, that is, the nobles. Even geniuses who emerge from the common people will be quickly recruited.

Rituals like the Great Trial of the Magic Lamp are allocated as a high-quality cultivation resource, and only those who are not favored, such as Philo, and those who are far from the political center of the empire, such as Isaac, need to fight for a spot.

Therefore, many of these people's own familiars may not be worse than those given by the genie lamp ritual. However, most of the familiars here are actually knights they brought with them.

They are almost all at the peak of the Knight realm, just one step away from becoming Grand Knights. By doing so, they can exploit a bug to possess a Tier 2 combat unit in a Tier 1 ritual.

Adding them to their own units, that makes two second-tier combat units!

For other trial participants without any background, wouldn't that be indiscriminate slaughter?

This is one of the reasons why the spots in the Genie's Lamp Trial are monopolized by powerful forces; participating is essentially a waste of time.

but……

"Eight? So many spots have been lost this time?" Isaac narrowed his eyes as he looked at the eight still-shining pillars of light. Even the Grand Trial only had fourteen spots in total, so more than half of them were gone!

Phyllis is located near the capital city; how could it possibly get out of control?

Isaac sensed something was wrong, but he didn't do anything else; he just stood there quietly and waited.

Soon, the other eight trial participants who summoned familiars also completed the ritual. The moment the eight pillars of light dissipated, fourteen pillars of light shot into the sky once again!

A giant golden magic circle appeared above the town of Phyllis, and the golden sky instantly replaced the night sky!

At the same time, a lamp shaped like an oil lamp quietly condensed in the center of the magic circle!

The battle begins!

"call!"

The moment the battle began, a piece of congealed flesh slipped from Isaac's hand. Under the innate sorcery of flesh transformation, it rapidly twisted and grew larger, and in the blink of an eye, a giant magical eagle appeared beside Isaac.

The Golden-Winged Eagle is a first-tier high-level monster, skilled in flight and possessing exceptional defensive capabilities.

Isaac and Liuli quickly boarded the golden eagle and flew together to the center of Phyllis Town, heading to the decisive battleground!

"Hmm?" As soon as he took to the sky, Isaac frowned slightly because the three trial participants nearby seemed to be rushing towards him. Although all three were from the opposing camp, wasn't it a bit of a coincidence?

Isaac narrowed his eyes slightly, his feeling that something was wrong growing stronger, but it didn't matter. He was going to fight sooner or later anyway, so it was better if they fought together, saving him the trouble of searching everywhere!

"Liu Li!"

"exist!"

"Ready to fight!"

"Yes!"

……

On the other side, a knight who was rushing towards the giant eagle in the sky frowned. Why did he feel... that person's direction had changed? It seemed... that he was heading towards them?

"Attention! The enemy may have discovered our intentions. Everyone, immediately activate your magical items to enhance your spell resistance!"

"Roger that!"

"Roger that!"

After a brief and decisive reply, bursts of magical light shone on them and the familiars they summoned—the fallen knights.

"Liuli, go! Leave no one alive!" A moment later, the golden giant eagle stopped advancing and circled in the air. Isaac looked at the six knights gathered on the street below with cold eyes.

"Yes, ma'am!" Liuli responded, then with an invisible hand pressing down on her skirt, she leaped down!

Three thumb-sized rubies fell with her!

"Get ready to fight!"

The knight, who was about to shoot down the giant eagle with his bow, saw Liuli leap down directly. His pupils contracted slightly, and he immediately abandoned the idea of ​​drawing his bow. Instead, he called to his companions to draw their longswords together!

Bows and arrows, unless they are magic arrows or Noble Phantasms, are only good for dealing with fragile targets. They are simply not enough for knights, and it is better to just draw a sword.

Six against two, the advantage lies with them!
