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

In the realm of the evil god, the instant Isaac interrupted the ritual, a ferocious behemoth lying prone on the wilderness slowly opened its eyes, a hint of surprise flashing across them. How many years had it been? There was still a wizard who had survived His final attack. Truly an interesting wizard…

"You scoundrel! You bastard! I'll kill you!!!"

Just as he was marveling at Isaac's amusing methods, the Black Orc God, who was still displaying his superiority despite his failure, suddenly sensed that a part of the forbidden knowledge in his mind had been stolen. His eyes widened, he stood up from the ground, and roared to the sky!

Boundless divine power wreaks havoc in the realm of evil gods!

Countless lives died in fear amidst this divine power, only to be resurrected within it, and so on.

"You despicable thief! I will never let you get away with this!"

That being said, the God of the Black Orcs knew in his heart that he had no chance of revenge.

Firstly, due to the limitations of the ritual, after His descent He could only see Isaac, who was presiding over the ceremony; He was completely unaware of the surrounding scenery or any other life forms.

Secondly, even if His followers in the present world were mobilized to search, it would be of no use, because His followers are either ignorant black orcs or cultists living in the shadows, whose intelligence gathering capabilities are too low. And the mad witches who dare to make deals with evil gods are all madmen. He might not even find anyone before he gets himself killed.

Of course, there's also an even lower possibility...

That is, the wizard thief will become extremely powerful before He finds him!

For no apparent reason, the Black Orc God had a feeling that the little thief would be the latter…

……

"Tsk tsk~ Not bad for a harvest~"

On the other hand, compared to the enraged Black Orc God, Isaac, who had reaped a great harvest, was in a much better mood. After the ritual ended, he walked towards the center of the ritual circle to retrieve the animal skin book, while checking the three [stars] he had just taken from his mind.

These three stars belong to the same series of forbidden knowledge, known as—Bone Magic.

It's necromancy.

In this world, perhaps it hasn't developed to that point yet. Unlike the mages in Isaac's previous life novels, necromancy is considered forbidden magic by the Truth Association not because it desecrates the dead.

In fact, no wizard cares about the feelings of the dead. As long as the dead are not related to them, if they can be used to enhance their power or cast some powerful spells, the corpses of the dead will only become popular magical materials, just like the corpses of monsters.

Necromantic spells are forbidden because they require the use of death magic, which corrodes living things and brings the caster one step closer to death each time it is used!

If all the magic power within the body is converted into death magic power, then death will be even faster.

In the wizarding world, only some necromancer-type monsters and deities are known to be able to use necromancy without hindrance; all others need to consume life force to use necromancy.

However, Isaac did see some arcanists researching necromancy in some obscure papers. The main idea was to transform themselves into undead creatures and then maintain their sanity and spellcasting abilities.

But so far we haven't heard of any results.

It might not have been announced, or it might not have been successful.

Isaac leans towards the former, because it's not difficult to do this by borrowing the power of the Outer God. There might be such people among the mad witches. Once they've made a deal with the Outer God, who cares whether they're human or not?

However, it wasn't so troublesome for Isaac, since he possessed a divine species. Although the rat's intelligence was questionable, the forbidden knowledge he had acquired from the Black Orc God was quite comprehensive.

There are three necromancy spells in total. In addition to the spell principles and casting methods, there are also divine versions of these three spells!

Not only can it be directly uploaded to the mouse's divine network, but it can also greatly help Isaac's current research on the divineization of magic. It's simply amazing!

God of the Black Orcs, a great and wonderful god!

Approaching the animal-skin book, Isaac put aside his distracting thoughts and, under the concerned gazes of the crowd, took the book down from the air.

The material of the animal hide book felt somewhat like monster hide, and also somewhat like the skin of a black orc. In short, with its strange stripes, it looked particularly eerie. In Isaac's vision, the animal hide book was still radiating a strange magic.

Like the magic book given by the Lord of Billions of Flesh and Blood, anyone who obtains this animal skin book and fulfills its sacrificial requirements can cast the spells recorded within without hindrance.

Of course, this comes at a price.

Each time it is used, a portion of the caster's soul will be eroded by the divine power of the Black Orc God, until it is completely eroded and then devoured by the Black Orc God, or becomes his servant.

Isaac glanced at the animal hide book, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes. It was this…

"How are you? Are you... alright?"

With a gust of wind, Caesar and Gaia appeared instantly in front of Isaac, looking at him with concern. Caesar asked somewhat anxiously.

"Don't worry, everything's fine." Isaac waved his hand, then shook the animal skin book in his hand, and said with a somewhat solemn expression, "What we should be concerned about is this: if the Black Orc God hasn't been hiding anything, then our situation is a bit dangerous."

Upon hearing this, Gaia resumed his serious expression, gave a glance to the four barons in the crowd, then looked deeply at Isaac before turning and walking towards the council chamber.

Isaac and Caesar exchanged a glance and immediately followed their father Gaia.

As for Cheryl, she turned and called Remington.

Since her father played the good cop, she had to play the bad cop. Although Remington had allied with the Orcs, as far as they knew, the only tribe they were currently in contact with was an ordinary tribe with very average strength.

Of course, the important thing is not who was contacted, but the act of contacting the Black Orcs.

However, since the second brother has no real intention of rebelling, we must not let him develop that idea, especially given the current situation.

Regardless, Remington was an important member of the Solomon family. If he were to rebel at this time, it would not only leak a lot of intelligence, but also deal a fatal blow to morale.

Therefore, while suppressing Remington, we also need to appease him a little to prevent him from becoming desperate and then blindly rushing to the Black Orcs' camp.

……

Before long, the high-ranking officials of Solomon Fortress gathered again in the council chamber.

Unlike before, this time, the way everyone looked at Isaac changed dramatically!

After all, this is a madman who has made deals with Outer Gods at least twice!

And they all survived!

And we achieved some success!

Even the most brute knights, who knew nothing of magic, could sense the eerie magic emanating from that animal-hide book; it was clearly no ordinary item!
