The Wizard: Starting by Scamming the Demon God

Page 116

Isaac, Angel, and Lorna: "..."

"Wouldn't it be incredibly embarrassing if we lost?" From above the cave, Rona, who had overheard the entire conversation, asked Isaac with a speechless expression.

“…Anyway, I don’t want to lose.” Isaac shook his head, snapped his fingers lightly, and then a huge fireball condensed and fell downwards. “Come on, let’s greet our guests who have come from afar!”

"boom!"

A pillar of fire shot into the sky with the sound of an explosion, and the three people stared solemnly at the center of the blast.

Those who dared to participate in Etra's feast were no ordinary people, let alone those who dared to launch an attack on them first. So the fireball acupuncture of that magnitude was just a greeting.

Sure enough, as the thick smoke dissipated, a golden light came into Isaac and the others' view.

A golden protective shield enveloped the three of them, and they were completely unharmed.

Seeing their attire and the aura of power they exuded, Isaac raised an eyebrow in surprise: "People from the Theocracy? What are you doing here?"

The religious state is not a specific country, but a general term for a type of country that maintains its rule through religion. However, these countries can usually be regarded as a single entity.

Yes, although these religious states have different beliefs, they are not as exclusive at the national level as their beliefs suggest. They even share an institution to train military forces—the Holy Church!

The sanctuary is where most theocrats train their armies and superhumans. There, you can do whatever you want as long as you don't proselytize or affect other people's beliefs—a place that Isaac finds incredible.

The extraordinary individuals trained by the Sanctuary are divided into three types. The first type is the Temple Knights, who believe in gods and obtain power from them. Like the paladins Isaac knew in his previous life, they are skilled in both physical and magical combat, capable of fighting, healing, and tanking. Except for the fact that their power is not their own and has an absolute upper limit, they can be said to be perfect.

Secondly, there are temple mages, who also believe in gods and gain power, but unlike temple knights, they mainly acquire magic, focusing on extreme destructive power. They are spellcasters who are not recognized as spellcasters by wizards.

Thirdly, there are temple priests. Like temple mages, they also acquire magical power. However, unlike temple mages, they only acquire auxiliary and defensive spells, maximizing their support capabilities!

To be honest, Isaac once thought this was something created by a time traveler. The first two were quite normal, but the third one, the temple priest, was really abstract. The real world is not a game, so how could anyone take this path of completely assisting others?

So what if you're left alone?

But temple priests are indeed like that, and there are many of them!

Warrior, Mage, and Priest – a classic team composition in the game and the standard setup for members of the Theocracy when traveling, making them extremely powerful in combat.

"Naturally, it's to stop your evil plot! We won't let you destroy this country!" The burly man at the head of the group drew his greatsword from his back and said with a serious expression.

His companions quickly drew their staffs, ready for battle. At the same time, streaks of golden light drifted from the blue-haired woman beside them toward the two of them.

"Oh? So you actually think of this place as a country?" Isaac asked curiously.

He wasn't trying to be sarcastic; he was genuinely puzzled.

God exists in this world, so while it cannot be said that 100% of the people in the True God Church are good, at least most of them are good, or at least good in accordance with the definition of doctrine.

According to most orthodox theological doctrines, Etra is absolutely hell within hell, so the theocracy either sends out its entire force or pretends not to know about it.

Unlike now, they won't send a few small karami here. If they were to take the message back, the Holy Kingdom would definitely send troops, otherwise it would seriously affect the faith!

It's impossible that the three of them saw the rebel army's recruitment slogan and then just came on a whim, right?

"We've come to save this country! Mad witch, no more words, prepare to die!" the burly man roared, stomped his foot, and shot towards Isaac!

"boom!"

"Your opponent is me!" The half-dragon Rona, wielding a longsword encased in dragon flames, intercepted the burly man halfway through his journey. Her golden vertical pupils were filled with a cold glint, completely devoid of her usual naivety.

"Dragon Witch...you can't stop me!" The burly man exerted force with both hands, deflecting the Dragon Flame Sword with his longsword, and then kicked Rona in the abdomen with his right foot.

"puff!"

However, Rona was not kicked away as he expected, because Rona was covered in dragon scales, and they were the scales of a pure-blooded dragon, making her defense extremely high!

Therefore, the strong man's attack not only failed to create an advantage, but also exposed a huge flaw. Although Rona did not have much combat experience, she did not let go of this opportunity and opened her serrated mouth.

"Roar!!!"

A burst of scorching dragon flame engulfed the burly man, blasting him away!

"Truly astonishing~ To be able to use such a high-level dragon transformation magic, even though she's only a first-tier witch." Not far away, the burly man climbed out of the lava, the scalding liquid slowly sliding down his armor without harming him in the slightest. "No wonder he's a henchman of the Mad Witch."

Rona pursed her lips, said nothing, and her entire body was enveloped in dragon flames as she charged at the burly man once more!

This was the first time she had used such power, so with her existing combat experience, she needed to finish the battle quickly and absolutely not let the enemy figure out her fighting style.

Otherwise, all that dragon blood and scales would be wasted.

The strength of Rona's dragon transformation is related to the materials used in the spell; the better the materials, the stronger she becomes after the transformation. However, she used to be too poor. Let alone the blood and scales of a pure-blooded dragon, she couldn't even afford the materials from dragon-blooded monsters...

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been captured by slave traders in the first place...

On the other side, as the burly man made his move, the blond youth was not far behind. With a wave of his staff, countless golden rays shot towards Isaac and Angel. At the same time, behind the golden rays, a huge golden magic circle was slowly taking shape.

"Wow~ I've seen something incredible!" Ignoring the streaks of golden light that brushed past him, Isaac stared in awe at the magic circle behind the blond youth.

He recognized this thing; it was a privileged magic, a lower-level form of power magic, and one of the few things that could be used to fight opponents of higher levels after the second tier.

Although high wizards possess powers, not everyone can develop powerful spells. Therefore, many high wizards primarily use ordinary magic and privileged magic.

Privileged magic has a wide variety of abilities, but all of them are extremely powerful.

For example, the blond youth is currently casting what should be the Holy Temple's privileged magic, Divine Judgment. Within a certain range, any life that does not believe in that deity will suffer indiscriminate attacks!

Ignore any defense that does not involve authority!

Unless you convert to that god immediately.

However, this is generally used to deal with heretics. It is not very useful for normal spellcasters because there is a spell called the Seal of Faith. As long as you cast it on yourself, you will be immune to this spell. In any case, it is very easy to remove the effect of the Seal of Faith.

But for Isaac...

Amidst the endless golden rays, Isaac glanced back at the castle, lost in thought. So this was the purpose.

The blond youth, who had been closely watching Isaac's movements, felt a slight sinking feeling in his heart. This was troublesome...

They were already at a disadvantage in terms of strength, and now their scheme has been exposed!

Chapter 168 The storm is coming

Divine Judgment is not a very strong privilege spell. Not only is it easy to counter, but although it has true damage that ignores defense, the value is too low, so even if it ignores defense, it cannot cause much damage.

But this move has an advantage: it can also damage matter, and over a very large area!

It's so big that it can cover the entire Roton Fortress!

He didn't intend to defeat Isaac head-on; the difference in raw strength was undeniable. However, if he tried to sneak in from the enemy base, there might be a chance of success.

pity……

Got discovered...

However, that wasn't the worst part. The worst part was that at the same time, all the buffs on him went out!

This means that one of his teammates has already been eliminated!

He was concerned about his teammates' situation, but the terrifying pressure of facing Isaac made him dare not be distracted. Seeing that all the golden rays were deflected by the spatial shield around Isaac, he immediately changed his strategy.

While pushing the privileged magic to its fullest extent, it released mirrors of light to surround Isaac, and then...

A flare has been launched in a specific direction!

It doesn't matter if Isaac gets hurt, as long as I can keep him in check!

This gives him ample time to carry out his divine judgment!

"Tsk~ So well prepared?" Isaac's slightly helpless tone came from the light sphere formed by the light mirror, but despite his helplessness, he was still full of confidence.

Isaac, surrounded by boundless light, slowly extended his right hand, pointing his index finger in the direction of the blond youth. Behind him, Hamon the Demon Claw made the same gesture.

The next moment, a scarlet light mark appeared between Isaac's eyebrows, and scarlet magic surged out wildly, quickly gathering in front of Isaac and Hamon's fingers. In a short while, a huge scarlet energy ball with a diameter of nearly two meters was condensed.

"Bang~"

The dazzling mirror shattered, and then the next moment...

"Hey~"

With a flick of Isaac's finger, the enormous energy ball instantly compressed to the size of a needle tip, then suddenly exploded, transforming into a torrent that shot towards the blond youth!

Sensing the terrifying energy, the blond youth's pupils trembled slightly. Without thinking, he immediately abandoned the Divine Judgment that was almost completed and instead released a golden barrier!

"boom!"

A deafening roar echoed across the plains, and even the burly men who were locked in fierce combat with Rona couldn't help but turn their gazes in this direction. Upon seeing that dazzling golden light, they felt slightly relieved.

"laugh!"

However, it was this moment of distraction that gave Rona an opportunity. With a horizontal slash of her Dragon Flame Sword, she cut through the strong man's armor, leaving a shallow burn on his body.

Unfortunately, this level of injury was nothing to the burly man. He didn't even need to cast a spell; a gentle sweep of holy light would immediately heal the burn...

Um?

Not done yet?

The burly man glanced at the burns on his chest in surprise, then his gaze toward Rona turned serious.

Is even Long Yan a pure-blooded dragon?

Just how rich is this dragon witch?!

Faced with the burly man's astonished gaze, Rona remained silent, simply raising her sword and charging forward.

Meanwhile, the blond youth behind the golden barrier hadn't even had a chance to catch his breath when another terrifying torrent of energy surged forth!

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

The fifth shot failed to fire because the blond youth could only defend against Isaac's ultimate magic cannon. One or two shots were manageable, but four in a row were simply too much for him to handle.

His golden barrier shattered on the third shot, and was completely blasted into dust by the fourth!

"Kayn!!!"

The commotion caused by the Ultimate Magic Cannon naturally attracted the attention of others. Seeing his companion being blasted to pieces by Isaac, the burly man roared and, ignoring the Dragon Flame Sword that Rona was attacking, charged towards Isaac, his body enveloped in holy light!

However, what he was met with was Isaac's cold eyes, and...

A torrent of magic unleashed in a frenzy!

Although the burly man didn't have the same powerful protective shield as the blond youth, his body was surprisingly resilient under the blessing of the holy light. It took Isaac four shots to finally take him down.
