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

Should we make a deal with the evil god or obtain knowledge that can accelerate the development of the mouse's intelligence...?

After thinking for a moment, Isaac abandoned the idea.

It's not that we can't find a suitable Outer God. Although my elder sister's collection of books doesn't have one, there are plenty in the town in the lake. As long as you have money, you can buy many things, especially knowledge that someone deliberately circulates.

Getting to the lakeside town is also easy; now there are pumpkin carriages available, and with their speed, a day is all it takes to travel to and from the nearest woodland.

Isaac was worried that the Outer God's methods were flawed, and that if they drove his rats insane, he would be in big trouble.

After all, this was Isaac's first time with a mouse, so it was quite a memorable occasion.

So in the end, Isaac just flicked the mouse's head, then turned and went to his desk to continue his research. So what if he was a little silly? Anyway, he didn't really need the mouse's fighting power right now.

And so, time slipped away quietly amidst the active preparations.

During this time, in addition to delving deeper into his various research projects, Isaac also took the time to attend a meeting of mad witches, and then...

Returning home disappointed...

Apart from the deaths of two people, things are basically the same as before. It's still the same people trading, still the same items being traded, and still no deals being made...

Even the witch Isaac had put some effort into couldn't offer anything that interested him; they were just some standard puppet-making recipes.

Isaac already has plenty of this now. On one hand, the field of alchemical puppets is quite profound, and his current learning progress has stalled. On the other hand, Cheryl is a great wizard who specializes in alchemical puppets.

Although her major was slightly off-track, mainly studying pure mechanical puppets, she was still a high-ranking wizard, close to a great wizard, with a very deep foundation, enough for Isaac to learn from.

Fortunately, Isaac currently has many research projects on his hands, and he is even facing the situation of being too busy to keep up, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't achieve anything.

And so, half a month passed quickly. On this day, all the high-ranking officers of Solomon Fortress stopped what they were doing and came to the city wall with solemn expressions, looking at the at least eight thousand black orc phalanxes displayed outside the fortress!

"Eight thousand..." Isaac's eyes were somewhat grave; it was three thousand more than they had estimated...

The black orcs have gone mad!

Eight thousand demonized black orcs require at least sixteen thousand black orc sacrifices!

Yes at least!

Because people are different, some are weaker and some are stronger, there will be some fluctuation.

But regardless, the sacrifice of so many Black Orcs is a huge loss for them, even if they manage to break through completely in this battle...

"How are the preparations?" Gaia looked at Cheryl after a moment of silence as he gazed at the massive army of black orcs outside the city.

Isaac had already reported this when he decided to abandon his research on fel magic, but Barbara was a witch who relied on her talent and was not as knowledgeable as Isaac. So, during this period, Cheryl was actually the only one who was really researching this area.

"Not ideal. The spell model is too simple and there's not much room for optimization. Currently, we can weaken the average combat power of these eight thousand people with the help of the mage tower, but it won't last long. The preparation time is too short, and the mage tower can only hold a limited amount of fel energy. They can quickly replenish the fel energy they extract." Cheryl shook her head.

"But I have an idea, a rather risky one: instead of extracting fel energy, why not infuse it into them! This would exacerbate their demonization! However, if we use this method, we'll have to abandon the fortress, and we'll likely become traitors to our family and the Empire!"

"To perish together?" Gaia sighed.

He knew Cheryl's thoughts. Demons were a difficult race to control. Even within the strict hierarchy of demons, it was impossible to guarantee that the demons below would not rebel, let alone the high priests.

Therefore, if the demonization of the black orcs is further intensified, they will lose control and turn into uncontrollable mad dogs!

But this would not only intensify the orcs' destructive desires, but it could also open a portal to the abyss, allowing even more demons to enter this world. And if that happens...

Let alone the Solomon Territory, it's questionable whether the empire can even be maintained...

Therefore, this kind of thing is absolutely unacceptable!

After silently shaking his head and rejecting Cheryl's crazy idea, Gaia did not ask any further questions, because he had been paying attention to the progress of others during this time. As expected, Caesar successfully broke through to the level of high knight. Although his power was a bit weak, only having the elemental power of [controlling lightning], he was fortunate enough not to be at the bottom of the high knight rankings, so he was quite lucky.

Unfortunately, as expected, Barry failed to break through to the High Knight level, although his strength was indeed much greater than before.

Then there are Isaac and Barbara. They have reported some research progress, but he can't understand it, so he doesn't know how well they've prepared. But he imagines they've done their best.

"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"

Just as everyone climbed the city wall and looked at the army outside the city, countless roars rang out, and green, fel energy fireballs attacked the fortress like a meteor shower!

A flash of arcane light appeared in Cheryl's hand, and a magnificent staff taller than herself materialized. The amethyst floating above the staff spun gently, and the mage tower behind the fortress immediately shot a beam of light into the sky.

A moment later, a pale blue magical barrier enveloped the entire fortress, blocking all the fel fireballs!

"Ding~"

Then, Cheryl paused slightly again, and the amethyst spun a second time, and a shocking scene unfolded!

Suddenly, countless magic circles unfolded above the fortress, and the inscriptions on the mage towers lit up simultaneously. Terrifying magic power surged forth and converged into the countless magic circles in the sky!

next moment……

A colorful meteor shower appeared...

Those were magical rays with different properties!

A torrent of magical rays poured down upon the black orc army!

Each magical ray possesses the power to instantly kill a Grand Knight!

Isaac watched this scene in shock. Was this the power of a mage? Was this the power of Solomon's Fortress? Was this the power of the Mage Tower?

At this moment, the power of the Mage Tower was deeply etched into Isaac's heart, shattering his proud ultimate spell, Infinite Beast Tide!

Let's build a mage tower!

At this moment, this decision was planted in Isaac's heart like a demon: firepower is the only way!

However, while marveling at the mage tower's awe-inspiring firepower, Isaac also felt a sense of doubt.

That is...

With such formidable power, why would the fortress be so worried about this anomaly?
