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

Chapter 67 Holy crap! The original... (Please subscribe! 2/10)

Isaac's sudden action startled Prince Norns' daughter and Remington. They couldn't see the evil spirit above the girl's head, so they clearly didn't understand Isaac's behavior.

Philo, who was walking ahead, noticed Isaac's actions, turned around to look at Isaac, and smiled slightly with satisfaction.

Clearly, she had anticipated that Isaac could see it and was quite pleased with his swift and cautious approach.

"Calm down, don't be impulsive. As long as you don't hurt Angel, the evil spirit won't act recklessly." Philo gestured with her right hand, indicating to Isaac not to be nervous.

"Harmon, Mouse, put them away." After disarming Mouse and Harmon, Isaac looked at Philo with a puzzled expression. "She's a summoning witch? Doesn't seem like it?"

Although Isaac hadn't met witches many times, he was quite knowledgeable about contract magic, and even witches...

When summoning creatures, contract magic is required, so there will be some subtle connection between them and the contractor.

He did not perceive any connection between Angel and the evil spirit.

"Because she really isn't. Angel's magic is called the Book of Time, which can change the past! This evil spirit was attracted by her power and spontaneously protected her; there was no contract between them."

"? Change—the past?!" Isaac was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened as he stared at the girl in the wheelchair slowly turning around. "Holy crap! The former—the original witch?!"

Seeing Isaac's shocked expression, Philo nodded in empathy.

Original Witch refers specifically to a witch whose awakened magic is extremely powerful. Usually, only witches who can manipulate the forces that constitute the world, such as time, space, and fundamental forces, can be called Original Witches!

They are called that because their magical power is so strong that it cannot be contained within their bodies, thus condensing into a magic book.

Unlike other witches, the Primal Witch, with the help of this magic book, can gradually gain control of her immense power, and will basically not lose control.

According to The Wizarding Path, the origin of wizards is said to have been based on the original witches.

The power to manipulate time...

Isaac looked at Angel with a complicated expression. Even Isaac couldn't help but feel jealous in the face of the Primal Witch. This was truly a gift from God!

However, Isaac didn't dwell too much on his shock. He quickly regained his composure, sighed heavily, and said to the girl in the wheelchair, "Hello, my name is Isaac Solomon. If all goes well, we'll be teammates in the Genie's Lamp Trial. Please take care of me."

"Hello, my name is Angel. Filo mentioned you to me; you're very capable." Angel smiled slightly.

With a gentle wave of her hand, the evil spirit above her head vanished without a trace.

"Alright, alright~ Let's stop this small talk. We'll have plenty of opportunities to learn more later. For now, I'm the main character! Please make room!"

Before Isaac could have a proper conversation with Angel, Philo interrupted their impending dialogue by waving her hands. She then skipped and hopped to the center of the ceremony that had already been set up on the rooftop and began to conduct a final, serious check.

Seeing this, Isaac narrowed his eyes slightly, took a few steps back, and completely withdrew from the influence of the ceremony.

As a legendary wizard, Isaac was quite skilled in rituals, so he knew very well that it wasn't only items within a magic circle that could become ritual offerings. Sometimes, under the wizard's control, the power of a trading ritual could also extend beyond the magic circle.

Just like when he made a deal with the God of the Orcs, most of the Orcs who served as cushions were not in the ritual circle, but they were still sacrificed by Isaac.

Similarly, if Isaac were also within the area, sacrificing him would be a matter of a single thought for Philo. Isaac understood the simple principle that a wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall.

Of course, he dared to come because the scope of the ritual's effectiveness was not unlimited.

The reason why rituals are more effective than spells of the same level is because of their complexity. The complicated rules give them great power, but at the same time, they must operate within the rules.

Regarding rituals involving transactions and sacrifices, their scope of effectiveness has a limited value and an absolute value. Within the limited value, certain conditions must be met to spread the effectiveness of the ritual. The absolute value, on the other hand, is the area that cannot be reached no matter what means you use.

At this moment, Isaac is standing outside of this absolute value.

Not long after he stood up, Angel pushed the wheelchair to Isaac's side.

Isaac glanced at Angel, raising an eyebrow slightly. It seemed these two didn't trust each other that much after all.

This is normal, after all, the Primal Witch is the Outer God's favorite sacrifice!

"Are you a commoner?" Isaac turned to Angel and asked curiously, noticing that Angel hadn't included her surname in her self-introduction.

In the Terra Empire, only commoners do not have surnames.

Of course, it's also possible that Angel had a conflict with her family and was stripped of her surname, just like her original second brother, Remington.

"Yes." Angel nodded without hesitation, then smiled at Isaac. "Is it strange?"

"It is a bit strange." Isaac nodded frankly.

Although the original witches can control their power more stably than other witches, they are still witches after all, and there will always be times when their power goes out of control. Therefore, even for the original witches, their childhood is not very happy, especially for witches who come from commoner backgrounds.

Angel's current demeanor is too calm, lacking any of the madness expected of a witch.

Angel smiled slightly, not angry at all, and said, "I was lucky to meet Princess Philo early on. If it weren't for her meticulous care for me, I might have ended up like the other witches."

"No wonder you two get along so well."

"Hmm." Angel didn't say anything more, just nodded slightly, and then turned her attention to Philo.

His eyes were somewhat unfocused.

Isaac glanced deeply at Angel out of the corner of his eye. Yes, this is the witch. She acted too normally before.

To be honest, Isaac didn't dare to make a judgment right now. He didn't know if Angel was deliberately putting on a show for him, but one thing was certain: whether what she said was true or false, she was not a normal person!

This put Isaac at ease.

Soon, Isaac also turned his attention to the ceremony that Philo was busy with, and then his brows slowly furrowed. The dignified princess of the empire, is this all she is capable of?

However, Isaac didn't make a fuss, just in case it was someone else's special skill.

Ask me after it's over.

So Isaac suppressed his doubts and quietly watched Philo perform.
