This is also a characteristic of the rituals of the Lord of billions of flesh and blood; the higher the level, the more sacrifices are required.
After calming himself down, Isaac knelt before the magic circle, clasped his hands to his chest, lowered his head, closed his eyes, and whispered a difficult incantation. Suddenly, a gust of bloody wind swept in and ignited the various limbs on the magic circle with a "whoosh"!
At the same time, the demonized flesh and blood placed around suddenly turned into wisps of green smoke, which gathered into the magic circle and formed a green flame phantom.
Although he kept his head down the whole time, the image of the Lord of Billions of Flesh and Blood still appeared in Isaac's mind—a ball of flesh!
A fleshy ball filled with various limbs and organs!
This made Isaac even more vigilant, focusing his attention on the probability of the cheat appearing. The demon god was far more terrifying than he had imagined, and it seemed that the plan needed to be changed.
Looking at the number in his mind that kept changing with his ritual goal, Isaac lowered his requirements and kept it at 500%. He could take less, but that was okay. Safety was the most important thing. There would be other opportunities in the future.
Isaac's chaotic thoughts subsided in an instant, and he became even more respectful.
[Legendary wizards? You're quite interesting, humans! Tell me your wish! Whatever it is, I can grant it!]
"Supreme Lord of billions of flesh and blood, it is an honor to meet you. My wish is simple: I hope you can help me optimize this witchcraft and make it complete the optimization recorded here."
[Hehe~ Is that all? Are you sure?]
"Supreme Lord of billions of flesh and blood, I am certain."
[You're lying. Your folklore says wizards are all madmen. You must have other ideas. Tell me them all.]
Seeing that the Lord of Billions of Flesh and Blood had not yet made a move, Isaac was somewhat surprised, but he suppressed his curiosity and did not rashly raise his head to look at the Lord of Billions of Flesh and Blood. Let Him wait and see if He wants to, anyway, his real plan is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Watching the success rate slowly decrease in his mind, Isaac's lips curled up slightly.
The two remained locked in a stalemate for a moment. In the end, the Lord of Billions of Flesh and Blood was the first to give in, shooting out a beam of light from his phantom and piercing into the notebook that Isaac had handed him. A dense aura of evil began to swirl around the notebook.
If Isaac were to open the notebook now, he would surely find that the handwriting is becoming distorted!
Create a completely new form of witchcraft!
"Whoo~"
Before long, the notebook floating in the air completed its final rewrite, transforming from an ordinary notebook recording witchcraft into an evil magic book.
Possessing this magic book allows one to directly activate the spells recorded within without any casting conditions.
However, the price is that you need to regularly feed it flesh and blood, offering sacrifices to the billions of flesh and blood masters.
Of course, this is just a smokescreen.
The real purpose is that, during this sacrificial process, billions of flesh and blood beings will gradually establish a connection with this world and eventually descend upon it!
Then it will devour everything!
Demons are not benevolent beings.
As the spellbook slowly fell to the ground, the probability in Isaac's mind dropped from 1,000% to 500%. At this point, Isaac understood that it was time to stop.
So, without hesitation, he ended the ceremony and saw off the bewildered Lord of Flesh and Blood.
Are modern-day sorcerers really that generous? The ritual's power was only slightly depleted, yet they made such a big fuss just to modify a magic spell?
Is this the legendary wizard of the new era?
If that's the case, then...
"Damn it!!! You wretched insect! I'll kill you!!!"
"boom!"
In an unknown dimension, countless scarlet eyes suddenly opened, filled with furious fire. Violent magic was unleashed recklessly into the unknown void, and countless indescribable, bizarre flesh and blood grew out of the void!
After reclaiming his avatar, He finally learned the legendary wizard's goal—His flesh and blood dimension!
Although it was only a small piece that was cut off, which was insignificant to Him and He could recover after a good night's sleep, the loss of power was minor!
The loss of dignity is a serious matter!
How dare a formal wizard like Cricket attack Him?
And it worked!
Even when he was a formal wizard, he dared to try and steal His flesh and blood dimension. Once that guy gets stronger, He can't even imagine how arrogant he will become!
however……
In his rage, the Lord of Billions of Flesh and Blood only raged for a moment, venting his magic power. After that, he glanced unwillingly at the location of the Isaac World, and then silently closed his eyes.
That world...
Can't afford to offend...
It's fine for them to use their avatars to cause trouble, but their real bodies are a different story...
Surely we can't risk our lives for dignity?
……
Meanwhile, in the basement, after the ritual ended, the first thing Isaac did was to sabotage the ritual setup to prevent the Lord of Flesh and Blood from becoming enraged and using the ritual to hunt him down.
We can't afford to leave any risk unchecked!
After doing all this, Isaac happily picked up the magic book from the ground, but instead of opening it immediately, he closed his eyes and, guided by the sensations deep within his soul, his mental energy traveled to a void.
A void, roughly one hundred cubic meters in size, with nothing in it.
This was his greatest takeaway from the ceremony—the dimension of flesh and blood!
Dimension, a special parallel world, in which there is no life, is usually the place where demons reside, and is also the source of their power.
Different dimensions have different rules.
It is precisely because of dimensions that the demons possess almost infinite magic and vitality!
This void is the dimension that Isaac stole from the billions of flesh and blood lords!
Or, to put it another way, dimensional seeds.
Chapter 18: The Flesh and Blood Nest!
Compared to the almost infinite flesh and blood dimension of the Lord of Billions of Flesh and Blood, Isaac's one hundred cubic centimeters is not even a fragment. However, due to the legendary ritual, this part of the void has also seized the essence of the flesh and blood dimension, and can barely be considered a dimensional seed.
With sufficient resources, it may become a true dimension in the future!
Of course, no one is aiming for that goal, as it requires an enormous amount of resources!
This dimensional seed has two real functions. First, it can provide a short period of infinite magic once a day! The duration of the infinite magic varies depending on the size of the dimension.
Secondly, seeds, of course, can grow. Once they have grown to a certain extent, they can be harvested to obtain dimensional fruits. These are resources traded with demons and can replace many of the offerings required for rituals, while also mitigating the risks associated with those rituals.
As Isaac's connection with the dimensional seed grew stronger, a faint red light emanated from the depths of his soul. Soon after, a red gem condensed on Isaac's chest, serving as the anchor point between the dimensional seed and the mortal world.
Whether it's harvesting the Fruit of Dimensions or using skills with infinite magic, this gem is essential.
In addition to these two general abilities belonging to dimensional seeds, as a seed separated from the flesh and blood dimension of billions of flesh and blood lords, it can also produce ten kilograms of first-order demonized flesh and blood essence every day, or the spell consumables that can exempt one flesh and blood spell.
This effect improves as the dimension increases.
However, it's still a pie in the sky, but the resources required for dimensional growth are too numerous; how many demon gods would be ruined by that...?
Just thinking about it made Isaac shake his head. With that energy, he could use it to improve himself and might not be any worse than a genuine demon god. Why go through all this trouble?
Put the glowing ruby in your pocket, and when you have time, make a necklace like the one in Doctor Strange that holds the Time Stone—it's portable and discreet.
Soon, Isaac came out of the basement. Although it was late, he did not rest. Instead, he walked towards the door. He couldn't sleep at all!
Upon arriving at the laboratory, Isaac pushed all the manuscript papers aside on the desk and then placed the magic book, which had been modified by the Lord of Billions of Flesh and Blood, on the table.
The originally ordinary brown notebook was transformed into a magic book that looked very evil after being modified by the Lord of Flesh and Blood!
The book's cover features a tightly closed eye in the center. When your gaze falls upon the magic book, the eye will suddenly open, revealing a scarlet blood-red eye within.
Above the blood-red eyes was the book title written in the language of the demon gods.
Isaac glanced at it and quickly looked away. Demon language was a powerful language like Elvish and Dragon language, but it was even more sinister than those two languages.
Unlike the other two languages, the language of the demon gods does not require deciphering. Even if the language of the demon gods is written in a very complicated way, you can understand its meaning with just one glance. Moreover, it has a mysterious effect as soon as you say it out loud, which is very convenient.
So, what is the price?
Each time you use the language of the demon god, you will be marked by the corresponding demon god, and slowly you will be corrupted by the power of the demon god, eventually becoming a plaything of the demon god!
Isaac was well aware of the dangers involved, and he wasn't confident that he could be exempt from the side effects of the demon language. Therefore, he didn't even look at it and directly opened "Preliminary Research on Goblin Lairs: Flesh and Blood Lairs".
Opening the spellbook, Isaac was greeted by strings of profound magical text. Compared to the eerie language of the gods, the magical language created by the wizards was less alluring, but the contents of the book captivated Isaac, immersing him completely in its contents.
After a long while, Isaac finally snapped out of his reverie, slowly raising his head with a look of sudden realization. So, it was that simple…
"Tear~"
As Isaac came to his senses, the demonic claw emerged from the back of his neck, a faint flow of magic emanating from it. A blank magic book appeared, its contents copied one-to-one onto the page: "Preliminary Study of Goblin Lairs: Flesh and Blood Lairs."
With this, Isaac's innate sorcery has officially been upgraded!
It transformed from flesh and blood into a den of flesh and blood!
Flesh Nest is a type of area magic, but it differs from area magic like the Beast Breeding Ground. Once set up, Flesh Nest can be moved and transformed into a Flesh Gem that can be carried around.
However, during this period, all functions of the Flesh Nest are suspended, and it can only be used again after it is unsealed.
Unsealing it is tantamount to recasting the Flesh Nest once again.
Even so, its practicality has been greatly improved!
Compared to flesh-and-blood transformation, flesh-and-blood nests have a huge advantage: they can condense flesh-and-blood embryos in advance, which will take shape within one to two seconds when needed and be added to the battle.
In other words, it has the ability to mass produce troops.
Furthermore, the Flesh Nest has a lower demand for enchanted flesh essence because, as a variant of the Goblin Nest, although it does not have the ability to draw magic power from unknown entities like the Goblin Nest, it can still absorb magic power from the air.
Besides, he also has the infinite magic of the Dimensional Seed. If he plans how many times to use it, he can raise a large army in no time!
At this point, Isaac's combat system can be considered to have taken initial shape: the basic three-element shield, movement, harassment, and survival, and then the rest is left to the army of the Flesh Nest!
At the same time, there was an unexpected surprise: after the ceremony ended and he absorbed a lot of knowledge, his period of magical power fluctuations had completely ended.
In other words, he can now prepare for his first formal wizard advancement ceremony. After the ceremony, his magic power and mental strength will be enhanced to a certain extent, and if it is a special advancement ceremony, he will even receive other bonuses.
The only pity is that he currently has no promotion ceremony, whether it is a general one or a special one.
Moreover, I've almost spent all my money, so I'll have to wait for the dragon lizard and the demon rat to arrive before I can see the specific situation.
