Therefore, Isaac is needed to deal with these adventurers that he cannot handle.
“Flame Arrow!”
"boom!"
"who!"
Deep in the dense forest, a swordsman shrouded in black flames cleaved an incoming fire arrow with his sword, dodged a wind blade from another direction, and with a fierce shout, swung his longsword, unleashing a sweeping sword aura!
All the movements were performed in one smooth motion!
Arcane Leap!
"Flesh and blood mutation!"
However, Isaac's reaction speed was not slow either. He used arcane leap to dodge the flying sword energy, and Hamon cooperated with him to cause flesh distortion, and a faint purple glow was sprinkled on the swordsman.
"Well!"
The swordsman, who was about to give chase, groaned, clutched his throbbing chest, and knelt on the ground with a serious expression!
Without the slightest hesitation, Isaac's right hand glowed with a blue light. He swept it across his face, and a flame appeared out of nowhere. The flame quickly solidified into the shape of an arrow, and magic rapidly filled it. Then...
"Flame Arrow!" x10!
Ten blazing and sharp flaming arrows pierced the sky, shooting towards the swordsman like ten fiery meteors in the dark forest!
Under the orange-red flames, the swordsman's expression flickered, and the black aura around his body surged instantly. His surging battle aura temporarily suppressed the changes within his body. He raised his longsword and unleashed a sword aura that intercepted all the fire arrows in mid-air!
The burst of flames dispelled the darkness and illuminated Isaac's helpless expression.
As expected, without his summoned familiar, his personal combat strength was not strong. The flesh mutation that had repeatedly succeeded in the past could only bully ordinary adventurers with little foundation. Once he encountered a knight or wizard, the energy in their body was enough to suppress the flesh mutation in his body.
Fortunately, Isaac understood this well, so he made preparations early on.
Magical skills cannot be acquired overnight. No matter how talented you are or how abundant your resources are, it will take at least three years of study to become a qualified battle mage!
This is assuming you're fully focused on learning spells and spell-based combat techniques; if other things are interspersed in between, it will take even longer.
Therefore, Isaac, and most legendary wizards, chose to play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses!
"Dong Dong!!"
As the swordsman's sword energy sliced through ten fiery arrows and caused a huge explosion, a powerful heartbeat suddenly rang out!
A surge of immense magical power suddenly appeared!
The swordsman paused for a moment!
By the light of the fire on the ground, he frowned and looked at Isaac not far away, his expression somewhat incredulous.
At this moment, Isaac was floating quietly in the air, with two greatsword demons holding swords in both hands, the greatswords stuck in the ground, guarding Isaac on the left and right.
If that were all, the swordsman would only be surprised, not look so incredulous. After all, it's normal for wizards to summon monsters to aid in battle. What's truly bizarre is Isaac...
At this moment, a faint blue heart appeared behind Isaac, slowly beating. Several tubes extended from this heart, connecting the top of Isaac's head and both ends of his spine!
Pale blue magic was being channeled into Isaac's body through three tubes with each heartbeat!
Add to that Isaac, who was floating silently in the air, and the scene looked incredibly eerie!
"Whoo~"
After a brief moment of shock, sensing the killing intent emanating from Isaac, the swordsman's lips curled into a slight smile, and the black aura around him surged once more!
No matter how bizarre it is, just cut it down with one sword!
"boom!"
The swordsman and the two greatsword demons vanished in an instant, their speed far exceeding Isaac's ability to perceive them. All that could be seen were streaks of slashing that emerged from the void, shattering the nearby trees, grass, and rocks!
The entire battlefield was covered by endless slashes!
"laugh!"
Suddenly, a sword aura flashed past, instantly shattering Isaac's three-layered shield!
This made Isaac's pupils shrink and alarm bells ring in his mind. Although there were still four layers of shield left, he quickly replenished the three broken layers, but this still made Isaac extremely vigilant. He immediately created another Greatsword Demon to protect himself!
Indeed, spatial defense is still the most reliable option!
After returning, I took it directly from the Outer God; there was no time to learn it!
Chapter 127 The Final Chapter of the Island Battle (Part 1)
In the dark forest, Isaac, connected to the blue heart, floated in the air. The ground was a mess, full of sword marks and tree stumps. No one could be seen on the field, only the whistling of sword energy echoed in the ears.
At this point, Isaac discovered another flaw in himself—it was too bright!
Especially at night, it sparkles with seven colors, like a magical cat possessed by Lu Ziqiao, and it's very bright and shiny.
But there's nothing Isaac can do right now; he'll just have to make do with these defensive measures.
"Dong Dong~"
At that moment, the blue heart behind Isaac beat violently again, and a powerful surge of magic was channeled into Isaac's body once more. Isaac took out a red gem from his pocket, infused it with magic, and a blood-red mist slowly dissipated, condensing into two new greatsword demons in front of Isaac.
To be honest, Isaac's biggest gain from this trial so far is not the more than a thousand gold coins he earned, but this bag of high-quality flesh and blood essence!
No wonder those mythical beast novels from my past life always took me to the deep sea; they weren't just made up, they were genuinely rich in content!
Fortunately, the vast ocean soon became his hunting ground as well!
Imagining a bright future, Isaac's lips curled into a slight smile.
At the same time, the swordsmen, who were barely holding on, were quickly defeated under the siege of four greatsword demons, with the addition of two new ones!
After losing an arm, he was stabbed through the heart with a sword and died.
Although the swordsman was dead, Isaac was not careless. He did not go forward to loot the body, but instead asked the Greatsword Demon to take the money bag, the tattered armor and the five crystals from the body.
"puff!"
As it turned out, Isaac's decision was very wise. The swordsman was a proper great knight. Although he was not of noble birth, he had received complete training and his vitality was much stronger than that of ordinary great warriors. Even though his heart was pierced, he still retained a trace of vitality.
The original intention of this final blow was to ambush Isaac, but who knew he would be so cautious.
But since we've already put up this final blow, we can't just let it go, can we?
That would be such a waste.
So, he transformed his remaining hand into a blade and plunged it directly into the Greatsword Demon's heart. With a burst of battle energy, he shredded the demon's heart to pieces!
Then I closed my eyes in peace. Taking one with me, it was worth it!
Isaac shook his head, reached out, and the Greatsword Demon whose heart had been pierced and the other three Greatsword Demons instantly turned into blood-red liquid, which gathered in Isaac's palm and reformed into a ruby.
Not a loss?
What a loss!
Leaving behind a Greatsword Demon guard, Isaac threw out a pumpkin to conjure a carriage, and together with the Greatsword Demon, they boarded it and flew straight towards the direction of the mouse, cutting through the night sky.
The battle just now was intense; others will definitely come to check. It's best to leave now. He needs to save his firepower for after dawn. As for the swordsman's corpse...
Isaac didn't dissolve him into flesh and blood essence, so there's no question of admiration or disrespect. After all, the fight was fought by the Greatsword Demon, and he was just summoning a pet on the sidelines. He didn't even give any buffs, and it was a gang attack, so there's no noble story to tell.
He didn't dispose of the swordsman's body, partly influenced by the blonde girl. That girl... was an idealist, and the kind who dared to put her ideals into practice.
Whether in his past life or this life, he admired those kinds of people. Unfortunately, he couldn't be like them because he was both cowardly and selfish.
However, this doesn't stop him from setting some bottom lines for himself, such as not using human corpses as spellcasting materials. He doesn't know how long he can stick to this, but at least, he wants to do so now.
……
"Owner."
"Ah."
When Isaac approached, the first to spot him was a mouse that could share vision with all the mice, but it was Liuli who went to Isaac's side first, since she was quite free.
Of course, there is another reason – the mouse is currently unable to leave its side.
The carriage came to a stop in front of the python's den, and rats that kept pouring out of the den automatically avoided Isaac, so that he wouldn't have nowhere to put his feet.
Isaac curiously entered the cave and saw three eerie blue legendary doors from which rats continuously emerged. The faint traces of death magic on their bodies were unintentionally acquired in the cave.
As he entered the cave, Isaac frowned slightly and instinctively raised his hand to cover his nose, smelling a strong stench of decay.
However, he quickly put it down, not because he was used to it, but because covering his nose was useless. This stench was the "smell" of death magic, and this stench came from Isaac's magical senses. Covering his nose was no use.
Isaac curiously examined the mouse's "laboratory." He only knew the general situation from Liuli's report and didn't know the specifics.
Harmon was just as curious as Isaac. He was also quite surprised when he learned that the mouse was researching divine magic. He was in charge of the mouse's early education, so he had a deep understanding of the mouse's intelligence.
But now, that guy who couldn't even do single-digit addition and subtraction and couldn't read or write has actually started doing experiments just like his master.
Really...
strange!
The mouse's laboratory was pretty much what Isaac had imagined. Although the shapes were somewhat abstract, it was still easy to tell that the layout was modeled after Isaac's laboratory, especially those platforms that were over a meter high...
It's both ugly and abstract...
Don't you know your own height?
Is an operating table that's over a meter high something you can use?
Aside from these dubious facilities, the cave was filled with skulls and some grayish-white bone fragments, mostly rat skeletons with very few other animal remains, and not a single human one.
This is normal. The reason why the undead created by necromancers are humanoid is because they themselves are human and are more accustomed to and familiar with this structure, not because the human body has anything unique about it.
Perhaps they were extraordinary while alive, possessing immense potential, but once they die, they are just corpses and skeletons, nothing special. This isn't a world of cultivation, where there's such a thing as a chosen one of the Heavenly Dao.
So whether it's a necromancer, a puppet, or a golem, it's really all about what's convenient and easy to do, though sometimes aesthetics also play a role.
The burrow was almost entirely covered with rat skeletons. These weren't living rats; they would make way for Isaac, so each step made a crisp, crackling sound.
Isaac bent down and picked up a few pieces of bone to examine them. A slight smile appeared on his lips as he nodded. Not bad. Compared to those clumsy imitation facilities, the handling of these bones showed some experimental quality.
The few bones I picked up were very similar in appearance, but the difference in how they were handled was obvious, which shows that the hamster really put its heart into it.
Knowledge is power, and Isaac is very happy that the mouse realizes this!
"hiss~"
