Steadfast Wizard: From Heart-Swapping Rat to Dimensional Demon God

Chapter 144 Isaac: I'm not eating beef anymore

"Pfft~ Pfft~"

In the lab, Isaac ate ​​his food half-heartedly, looking at the fairy sprites that were dancing and flying around in the lab with their tentacles. Damn it, how did I attract such a thing?

The more Isaac thought about it, the angrier he became, and then he channeled all his anger into his appetite, eating large mouthfuls of food.

What else can we do?

Since things have come to this, we have no choice but to accept it.

Moreover, to be fair, aside from their abstract appearance, fairies and elves are quite powerful. They are proficient in transformation magic, and although they cannot apply it to themselves, it is still quite remarkable. Isaac's transformation magic can only transform a carriage now, and the speed is not very fast.

You should know that one of the key elements of the pumpkin carriage concept is punctuality. What does punctuality mean?

Even if it's the ends of the earth, as long as it's within the allotted time, the pumpkin carriage can get there!

The pumpkin carriage that Isaac conjures up now is only faster than a regular carriage, but that's because his research direction is different. Previously, Isaac used the pumpkin carriage more for storage than for traveling, so he focused on developing the interior space.

The pumpkin carriage created by the fairy spirit is the complete version that embodies the concept of "punctuality"!

Besides the pumpkin carriage, most of the other transforming objects also carry special concepts, such as transforming princess dresses.

It carries the concept of "identity," meaning that when you wear a princess dress, you truly possess the identity of a princess!

Of course, such top-notch changes are currently limited to the three stories of pumpkin carriages, princess dresses, and glass slippers. Other changes are much less impressive; if they can achieve the same effect as the same object, that would already be an extraordinary achievement.

And this is what makes Isaac uncomfortable; it knows to veer into the story in these situations...

It's really—

Besides the extremely practical transformation magic, fairies also possess the wish-granting spell, but this spell...

How to put it? It's very abstract!

First of all, it is indeed possible to fulfill wishes, although the scope of fulfillment is very limited.

For example, one can transform an ordinary person into a rider out of thin air, and bestow upon them skills such as breathing techniques, swordsmanship, horsemanship, and combat skills.

but!

This ability has many limitations. First, it can only be used once a year. Using the wish spell requires consuming energy called wish power, which fairies and elves need to slowly collect from the dreams of all living beings. Granting wishes to people is a shortcut.

Secondly, making a wish comes at a price. You need to complete the tasks assigned by the fairy or follow certain rules. The specific price is beyond the fairy's control; you will only know the price before your wish is granted.

Finally, the ability of wishing cannot be improved; its maximum potential is determined at the birth of each fairy. The effect can only be enhanced by consuming additional wish power, which cannot be naturally replenished and must be collected again.

Overall, although it still has many shortcomings, it is still a very good support.

Especially the Prayer spell; although its potential is not high, if used properly, it can make Isaac's experiments much smoother.

After finishing his meal, Isaac had mostly calmed down his complicated feelings. He beckoned to the fairy elf.

"Chirp chirp~"

A fairy-like creature, resembling a transparent jellyfish, floated in front of Isaac, its tentacles waving up and down, emitting a puzzled cry.

"Your voice—it's quite unique! Do you have your own name?"

"Chirp— My name is Ein Dolanbaluse Kyinar Dobanro Qirusescoria En."

Isaac listened silently to Ain's real name, which was over a hundred words long, then nodded: "Very good."

"Ain, can you use your wish spell now? I want to obtain the secret technique that allows me to sense my dimensional world!"

"Chirp?" Ain hesitated for a moment before realizing that "Ain" was calling her. She shook her tentacle and said in her ethereal, melodious voice, "It can be used, but to have this wish granted..."

You cannot eat beef for the next three months.

"That's easy? Let's get started then, anyway, I don't eat beef!" A smile appeared on Isaac's lips.

He's not the kind of person who hesitates; if he needs to be used, he will be used.

Although he estimated that he could complete the optimization of the secret technique in another month, he actually had quite a few research projects on his hands, and the extra month would allow him to do a lot of things.

Besides, how do you know that the next thing you absolutely need to do is use this wish?

And the cost isn't high; the delivery person will just come and tell him not to give him beef for the next three months, so Isaac agreed very readily.

Ain did just that, waving his slender tentacles and circling around Isaac. A piece of parchment appeared out of thin air and slowly fell down.

Isaac caught it and took a closer look. He found that it was a wonderful technique for sensing. However, although it was wonderful, the technique itself was not difficult. So Isaac learned it after only glancing at it.

"So it's that simple—" Looking at the sensing technique in his hand, Isaac sighed softly. He hadn't expected to get stuck at this point—

But then Isaac thought about it again and felt relieved.

It's actually quite normal. Many technologies in this world are not complicated or difficult; what's lacking is just that spark of inspiration.

For example, what are the insurmountable difficulties of woodblock printing and movable type printing?

No, but their efficiencies are completely different.

Isaac was overjoyed to have obtained the secret method and immediately led Ein out of the laboratory.

"Come on, Ain, I'll introduce you to the other members of our group."

"That is~"

After briefly introducing Iin to Smith and the others and revising the research schedule for the next period, Isaac returned to the laboratory.

He couldn't wait to try out his secret technique!

The true infinite magic, here I come!

In the laboratory, Isaac's excitement quickly subsided. He stood in the open space of the laboratory, with a target not far in front of him. He quietly closed his eyes, and magic flowed slowly through his body, with sparks of magic flashing around him.

In fact, normal arcane mages need to rely on external aids when they first learn arcane arts, because arcane mages are essentially people without talent, so they need to trade with dimensional demons to obtain power.

However, Isaac's situation is different. He is already a wizard, so he can use his own magic.

As Isaac activated the arcane spell, an infinitely large world appeared before him in his perception, filled with a terrifying, towering sea of ​​blood and a silent void.

The moment he saw these images, a feeling called fear began to spread through Isaac's heart, but he was not affected by this unfounded emotion.

Because he is the master of this dimension, he knows very well that this dimension is not infinitely large; the boundless sea of ​​blood is a flesh-and-blood lair he created, as for the silent void...

That's because he hasn't had time to put anything in it yet.

Seeing his own dimensional world from such a tiny perspective gave Isaac a sense of novelty, but he didn't immerse himself in it too much, after all, he still had important matters to attend to.

After sensing the dimensional world, the next step is to establish a connection with it, that is, to sign a contract, but not with the master of the dimension, but with the dimensional world itself.

It's worth mentioning that this contract actually comes without any cost; it simply serves as a legitimate channel for transmitting power between dimensional worlds.

It's not that those demon gods were benevolent; in earlier years, sorcerers also needed to sign some complicated contracts. However, after the emergence of the Demon Ruler school of wizards, the complicated contracts disappeared.

Although we are quite confident, who knows when a monster might suddenly appear and create an entire Demon God Dominator faction?

Therefore, the content of the arcane mage's contract has been simplified infinitely, and to this day, it has become a simple channel for power.

The contract process went very smoothly. After all, there was no real barrier to becoming a sorcerer, and forming this contract did not require any permission from any being. The demon god was even more eager for you to use your power, the more the better.

At least that's how it is now!

So Isaac completed the contract without much effort, and thus, Isaac's secret cultivation was completely finished!

He slowly opened his eyes, sensing the passage in the darkness and the almost endless magic power on the other side of the passage, and couldn't help but smile.

Now he can begin training his own arcane mage!

Although only the simplest arcane spell, Magic Ray, is currently available, at least we can begin.

No?

"Phew~"

Isaac let out a long breath, stretched out his right hand towards the target not far away, and a blood-red magical glow appeared on the tip of his index finger. In an instant, a blood-red ray shot out from Isaac's fingertip!

"call out!"

"!"

The target was completely pierced by the ray, leaving a transparent hole at the bullseye.

Its power is not bad, not as good as a single arcane missile, but its casting time is much shorter than that of an arcane missile. Moreover, its power is related to the amount of magic power Isaac puts in. As long as there is enough magic power, it will not be a magic ray, but a magic cannon!

However, the efficiency of magic release still needs optimization.

and.

Isaac narrowed his eyes as he looked at the crimson flame on his right hand. The magic power of his dimensional world seemed to have a strong corrosive ability, especially for flesh and blood life forms. This seemed to be a power characteristic brought from the Lord of Billions of Flesh and Blood.

Well, this trait has its pros and cons. The advantage is that attacking arcane magic will inflict additional damage when it comes into contact with flesh and blood creatures, and it will also hasten the death of the arcane mage, allowing them to reclaim their power in a very short time and give it back to the dimensional world.

However, the downside is that arcane mages die very quickly, since Isaac is also thinking of increasing the number of arcane mages and using this as a means to establish his intelligence network.

It seems we can only use it for now...

The erosion of dimensional magic on arcane mages is irreversible and uncontrollable; even Isaac, the lord of dimensions, cannot control it.

Fortunately, the dimensional magic originated from the dimensional world, which belonged to Isaac, so he himself would not be corrupted by the dimensional magic, which was consistent with his previous guess.

Therefore, we still need to think of ways to improve our intelligence network.

Although we have now reconciled with the eldest princess and can no longer take advantage of her, there will definitely be a use for her in the future. Legend has it that the path to becoming a wizard is destined to involve causing trouble. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle!

After testing the power of the arcane arts, Isaac stretched and yawned. Although he still needed to develop more arcane arts, this step was much simpler. He could make other arcane arts his own by slightly modifying them. In other words, some arcane arts that borrowed special powers from dimensions could not be modified.

Even if Isaac can't make it his own, he can still refer to it; he doesn't even need to worry about that.

Once the mages are trained, they will solve this problem on their own.

So now, let's see if higher spells can be stacked!

With an expectant expression, Isaac approached the two iron cages. Liuli was standing respectfully to the side, and inside each cage was a dragon lizard that Liuli had just delivered.

"Have you recorded the blood plasma concentration?"

"It's all been recorded; it's less than one in ten thousand."

2

Isaac nodded, not surprised. If the dragon blood of a monster like a dragon lizard were more concentrated, it wouldn't be sold so cheaply.

"Transform from an ugly duck into a noble swan!" Isaac murmured, then pointed at the dragon lizard on his left. A multicolored magical light entered the dragon lizard's body and then disappeared completely, nothing more.

This is normal. For this advanced spell to be effective, it requires a certain amount of training. Although you can develop your bloodline by lying still, it is definitely not as efficient as training.

Then, Isaac did the same thing again, casting a high-level spell on the one on the right. The difference was that he used ten high-level spells in a row!

"Higher spells are really something, there's hardly any mana consumption at all?" After finishing, Isaac stretched his shoulders, somewhat surprised. Eleven consecutive spells had only consumed about the same amount of mana as one Arcane Missiles...

For Isaac right now, this is practically no loss at all!

I don't know if this is true for his advanced spells, or if all advanced spells are like this —

If it's the latter, then regardless of whether the cheat can stack the effects of higher-level spells, higher-level spells will still have considerable value for him, especially combat-type higher-level spells!

However, Isaac could only dream about it. This thing was not easy to obtain. Currently, Isaac could only obtain it from [Legendary] spells. But [Legendary] spells were extremely extraordinary. It would be a bit of a loss to exchange a [Legendary] spell with infinite possibilities for a high-level spell. It was better to leave it to fate.

With a wave of his hand, Isaac instructed Liuli to take the dragon lizard away for training, while he continued to ponder the matter of body modification.

Transplanting a Demon Eye is better done sooner rather than later. There's no need to obsess over a powerful Demon Eye; it's a bottomless pit.

There will always be something stronger; should we keep searching forever?

Moreover, powerful Mystic Eyes are not so easy to obtain. Ultimately, Mystic Eyes are just an interesting aspect of his wizarding system, and there's no need to obsess over them.

Therefore, he initially set several goals for himself: the Demon Eye of the Demon Dominator school, the Petrifying Demon Eye with the highest popularity, the Immobilizing Demon Eye which is the easiest to obtain, and the Kaleidoscope Eye with random abilities.
