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

Looking at the stats for Wind Blade, its overall damage is slightly less than that of Fire Arrow, but it has a stronger cutting ability.

However, Wind Blade is Hamon's own sorcery, and only Hamon can cast it. Isaac cannot use it before he learns the spell. But conversely, Hamon can cast any spell that Isaac learns.

It's worth mentioning that both of these methods utilize Isaac's own magic.

But this is the drawback of the pet-based build.

The Familiar is only regarded as a wizard at certain times, not as a real wizard.

However, this has little impact on combat power, as magical pets will not disobey their master's orders.

After briefly glancing at the Wind Blade's data, Isaac immediately began setting up the next ritual. The core material for the Illusionary Rune was a pair of Illusionary Butterfly wings, the most expensive material on the Illusionary Butterfly, costing a full two hundred gold coins!

Because the only usable material on the Enchanted Butterfly is this, and it cannot be damaged, otherwise it will be useless.

Fortunately, the psychedelic butterfly is a magical creature that can be bred; otherwise, its price would be even higher!

Compared to the core materials, the mat for this ceremony is much cheaper. It contains magical pollen, one gram of which increases the success rate by one percent, and the quality is not limited!

The lowest quality Magic Pollen can be bought for one kilogram for one gold coin!

When he saw the price, he suspected that this thing could be artificially manufactured, because it was the only powdered magical material that was sold by weight!

Without saying a word, he bought a pound of it and used some of it to bring the success rate to 200%.

Isaac is now quite familiar with these rituals. As long as they don't involve high-ranking beings and are just normal ritual magic, a 200% success rate is definitely enough.

Only in transactions with those in high positions do you need to maximize your success rate, because the other party will constantly induce you to make mistakes and continuously lower your success rate until your ritual fails, and then take your soul or corrupt you into a dog!

At this point, a sufficient success rate is needed to ensure a sufficient margin of error.

However, such a ritual to enhance the effects of ordinary magic is unnecessary.

In the end, Isaac succeeded as expected. Strange colored patterns appeared on Hamon's arm, and when the illusion was activated, these colored stripes would gather in his palm, forming an eye-like pattern and releasing a powerful hallucinogenic power.

After using the Illusion Mark to stun a demonic wolf and test its power level, Isaac then initiated the Demon Hand ritual, which was also a great success. Hamon's mystical attributes were amplified to a certain extent, and the strength and power of the Demon Claw were also greatly enhanced.

I can already lift 200 kilograms!

Don't underestimate this power. It may seem far from the strength of a knight, but remember, Hamon can fly!

That 200 kilograms of force brings too many variables to actual combat!

For example, Isaac can now stand on Hamon's palm and then lift him up, effectively achieving flight!

That's not slow at all!

In addition, the increased mystery seems to have brought some magical changes to Hamon, enhancing some of its original abilities. Unfortunately, after three rituals in a row, Hamon's mind went a bit sluggish and it needed to catch its breath.

Therefore, after reluctantly accompanying Isaac to experiment with a few tactical ideas (which was actually just flying around on the palm of the demon's claw), Hamon shrank back into Isaac's body and fell into a deep sleep.

As Hamon slept, Isaac could sense that the benefits of these three rituals had only just begun, and that Hamon's power would undoubtedly increase to a certain extent once it awoke!

But before that...

Isaac shook his head, walked back to his desk, and began to think about optimization plans for the talent spell, Flesh and Blood Conversion.

……

On the third day of Harmon's slumber, Isaac was modifying the new version of the spell optimization plan by comparing the data on the panel when suddenly, a ball of light appeared in front of him, flashing and attracting attention.

Isaac raised an eyebrow. This was one of the fortress's assembly orders. Could it be that the Black Orcs were attacking?

Isaac grabbed the ball of light and scattered it. Not daring to be careless, he walked out while taking off his white coat, putting on a wizard's robe and hat. He casually tossed a pumpkin and rode in a pumpkin carriage towards the castle in the center of the fortress.

Before he landed, Isaac glanced outside the fortress and, seeing no sign of a gathering of orcish troops, breathed a sigh of relief.

He's not entirely satisfied with the three monsters he has now; they need more time to develop.

However, if the Black Orcs didn't come, then why did they gather?

As the pumpkin carriage flew over the castle, Isaac looked at the several carriages parked in front of the castle and gradually got the answer in his mind—the other lords had arrived.

As a long-established border viscount, and one that was about to be promoted to viscount, the Solomon family naturally had many dependents, some of whom had branched out in the past, and some of whom had been granted fiefs for their merits.

Most were lords, with only a small number being barons.

Strictly speaking, lords are not nobles, but due to social customs, they are still included in the ranks of nobles.

Of course, he was very different from the nobles. First of all, he did not have his own fiefdom. Although he would be given some land when he was enfeoffed, he did not own the territory. He only had the right to manage it and some taxation rights.

Secondly, lords are not allowed to have their own army. Of course, this rule is not so strict nowadays, and many lords will form an army in the name of a guard. As long as you don't go too far, no one will care.

So strictly speaking, although Isaac is a baron in name, in terms of power he is actually only a lord. This is mainly due to the current situation of the territory. After all, if he were to be given a barony, the process of elevating the territory to a lordship would have to be postponed again.

Fortunately, Isaac himself didn't care about this. Managing the territory was too troublesome, and if he wanted to develop it, he would have to invest money in it. He didn't even have enough money to conduct his own experiments!

Excluding the lords, there were four barons under Solomon's jurisdiction, and it seems they have all come.

This is normal, after all, the Solomon territory is located on the border, and if the fortress is breached, they will be the next to suffer!

And they'll be in even worse shape!

Gaia is a high-ranking knight. Even if the fortress falls, he can protect the Solomon family. Once the storm passes, at worst they will be severely weakened, but they will still have a chance to start over.

However, among the other four barons, the strongest was only a Grand Knight, far from being a High Knight. Once the Black Orc army arrived, they would only be waiting to die.

So even if it's just for their own sake, they have to come!

Not to mention, the Solomon family even gave them orders!
