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

Because he needed to travel quickly and it wasn't convenient to conduct experiments, Isaac mostly read theoretical magic books, while also taking the opportunity to review his own combat abilities.

Don't be fooled by his seemingly impressive feat of annihilating thousands of knights on the battlefield.

But in reality, it all relies on rituals, is full of luck, and is difficult to replicate.

His actual strength is rather average.

If he's well-prepared, he can only fight one or two high-level knights who are a level above him, and he's currently a standard fragile mage.

In terms of attack, he has fire arrows for mid-to-long range, which is quite good for a formal wizard. However, his real trump card is the monsters created by flesh-and-blood transformation.

Among the single-target monsters is the three-core, two-headed Gale Wolf with three hearts and two heads. Its magic power is 2.5 times that of a normal first-tier Gale Wolf, and the casting speed of its spell Wind Blade is also doubled.

Most importantly, the presence of two heads makes it possible for the Gale Wolf to unleash a barrage of wind blades, greatly enhancing its combat capabilities.

In addition to its magic and spells, the Tri-Core Two-Headed Gale Wolf also incorporates the bloodline factors of a demonized wild boar, making it extremely strong, thick-skinned, and very durable.

Its overall strength belongs to the upper-tier first-class monster.

This is a standard summon, but Isaac has also prepared an unconventional summon—the Greatsword Demon!

A rather special type of second-tier monster, born from the corpse of a great knight after being stimulated by some special magic. It possesses all the fighting instincts it had in life, and at the same time has the superb combat skills of a human and the powerful physique of a monster.

It is extremely powerful even among second-tier units!

What's even more special is that although the Greatsword Demon was originally a corpse, it is not actually an undead, but a living creature, albeit one without much consciousness.

Their name, Greatsword Demon, comes from their preferred weapon—the greatsword.

This was captured by Caesar for him during the fortress's preparations for war; it was a pleasant surprise.

He originally wanted to conduct some experiments first, but unfortunately, he couldn't control the Great Knight on his own, so he had no choice but to let Hamon eat it and regretfully transform it into a summoned monster.

Unfortunately, creating a Greatsword Demon requires far too much demonized flesh; using it even once would bankrupt him!

Fortunately, magic can be used as a substitute, but in that case, this move can only be used when infinite magic is activated.

In short, Isaac has given it his all in terms of offense, but in other areas...

He's much worse.

In terms of defense, he only has one enhanced arcane shield so far, which can only block attacks of the same level. In terms of movement, he only has one enhanced arcane leap, so his means are very limited. Once he encounters a battle, he is very likely to be beheaded!

It's frustrating, but there's nothing we can do about it.

Although Isaac's progress in learning magic was quite fast thanks to the help of his cheat system, he had only been a wizard for a very short time and had other more important things to do, so he naturally fell behind.

There's nothing we can do; his cheat ability isn't based on skill points.

Therefore, this can only be achieved through gradual accumulation over time; it cannot be rushed.

Fortunately, the empire is safe enough, so he doesn't have to worry about any dangers on the road, and he has plenty of time to make up for his shortcomings.

Within the empire, most areas do not contain monsters of rank one or higher; the most common creatures are goblins.

After all, if the people of an empire live in dire straits, what right does it have to be an empire?

Therefore, in this world, at least within the Empire, all dangerous monsters have been driven to live in fixed areas, maintaining peace while also making monster resources more concentrated and sustainable.

The only danger when traveling is probably the bandits who roam around. These are hard to eliminate in the supernatural world, since powerful superhumans can make money much faster by robbing.

However, none of this concerned Isaac, since their convoy was flying the Solomon flag.

These days, few bandits dare to rob nobles, especially border nobles like Solomon who are full of martial spirit.

Thus, the journey was uneventful, and a month later, the group entered the capital without incident, and then slowly drove towards the Norns Mansion.

The Norns family's residence was located in the southern part of the capital city, and the Norns family members were already waiting at the gate to greet them.

When the carriage arrived at the gate of Norns, the warm sunlight shone directly on the gate, giving a feeling of warmth despite it being winter.

"Ritual magic can be used like this?" Isaac raised an eyebrow, looking at Norns's gate. He really was a lifelong learner; no wonder he was a nobleman, or perhaps magic in this world was just more practical.

Isaac jumped off the pumpkin carriage, a cloud of purple smoke rose and the carriage disappeared, and the shifty-eyed coachman turned into a little mouse on Isaac's shoulder.

This amazing scene drew the attention of the servants of the Norns family. A transformation spell... Could it be a great wizard? So young?

Also turning their gaze in that direction was a middle-aged man dressed in luxurious clothes. Compared to the servant with limited knowledge, he could tell at a glance that Isaac was just a formal wizard, while transformation magic could only be cast by a grand wizard, so...

A legendary wizard actually emerged from the Solomon family?

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man looked at Isaac with even more surprise.

"Good day, Prince Norns~" x2

Despite the magnificent Prince's mansion before them, the two did not stand there in a daze, but quickly walked up to the middle-aged man and greeted him.

Prince Norns, the Emperor's younger brother, his strength and age are unknown, and even...

Gender unknown!

In short, a very mysterious person!

Although they were very curious, Isaac and Remington dared not show it at all and stood properly with their heads down.

Prince Norns smiled gently, shook his head, and said softly, "Let's skip the formalities and go inside. Lunch is ready."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked into the Prince's mansion. Isaac and Remington followed slowly behind him, while Smith and the others stayed behind to help the Prince's mansion staff put away the dowry.

……

Just as Isaac and Remington followed Prince Norns to the restaurant, two young girls were already seated inside. One of them, dressed in a white dress and wearing white lace gloves, sat at the table looking somewhat dejected. Although her delicate figure was still quite immature, one could already see some breathtaking curves in her body; it was just a matter of time before she could fully succumb to them.

However, even such a beautiful young girl had a look of dejection on her pretty face.

The other girl wasn't dressed as formally as her. A large wizard's robe completely covered her figure, revealing no curves at all. Her beautiful hair was simply tied back, making her look extremely casual.

"Still hesitating? That young master Caesar is so talented, how could he possibly be involved in a marriage alliance? Besides, that Remington isn't bad either; a grand knight in his twenties is quite rare even in the capital." The witch casually said, sprawled on the table without any grace, her slender fingers pressing against a silver cup.

"Sigh~ That's true... but... sometimes I really envy my older sister, being able to control her own destiny..."

"Tch~ It's not too late for you to become a legendary wizard now." The witch rolled her eyes and said irritably.

"Hmm? They're here." Sensing someone approaching from outside, the witch quickly sat up straight, straightened her slightly disheveled wizard robes, and then looked towards the restaurant entrance with her beautiful eyes.

"Tsk~ It really was you!" X 2
