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

Chapter 71 The Witch's Pleasure Feast

"Ughhhhhh~~~"

The next day, Isaac, who had been studying witchcraft all night, stretched and stood up from his chair. He glanced at the witchcraft spell "Material Shield," which had reached 63% progress on his learning panel, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. He stretched his body, closed his spellbook, and prepared to go out.

He planned to go to the Tower of Truth, rent a laboratory, resolve the ascension ritual first, and then purchase some essential materials, such as monster flesh essence and more monster flesh essence.

After that, you can set off from the capital to the city where the Great Trial of the Magic Lamp is located.

Otherwise, it's very inconvenient to be restricted in the capital. A rented laboratory is never as safe as your own. When you're out and about, you still have to be careful.

The laboratory in the Tower of Truth was rather rudimentary. Of course, this was also related to the price Isaac paid. The entire laboratory consisted of just a table, a magic alcohol lamp, a bunch of beakers and test tubes, and that was it. It couldn't be more rudimentary than that.

It can only be used to make potions, and simple ones at that. Any more advanced potions would require different tools.

After all, it's just a laboratory that costs one gold coin per hour. The only commendable thing about it is that the mage tower's defensive power covers this area, which is enough to cover most of the normal magical fluctuations, making it very suitable for him to hold an ascension ceremony.

Isaac chose the same Starry Sky and Mystic Ritual this time because the enhancement brought by each Ritual is too weak. Only by increasing the quantity can the quality be improved.

This ritual, along with the Witch's Tea Party, belongs to the Witch series. It's not that Isaac has any strange fetishes; it's mainly because the Witch series is the most classic starry sky and mysterious ascension ritual. Moreover, due to some slightly private factors, the materials required are very reassuring in terms of both price and quantity.

The Joyful Feast, the First-Order Ascension Ceremony, requires the following ingredients: 30 milligrams of saliva from three great witches, a cream cake that a witch has taken a bite of, a pair of white, black, and purple silk stockings worn by a witch, ten strands of hair removed from a witch's lips, and 138 sheets stained with witch's sweat.

The ingredients are of a much higher quality than those used in the Witch's Tea Party—

Fortunately, this kind of pleasure is different from the other kind; otherwise, Isaac would have to reconsider whether to choose this ritual for advancement.

Unlike normal people, Isaac needs a lot of pads to ensure a high success rate, so he will have a large demand for certain materials, especially if it's truly that pleasurable...

That would be truly perverted!

Although the seller might now consider him a pervert.

Fortunately, the sellers involved in the two incidents were different, so the impact on public opinion was relatively limited.

Fortunately, a ritual is needed beforehand to roughly establish the framework for creating a self-taught legend; otherwise, if some strange or unusual legends were to emerge, that would be quite something...

A moment later, Isaac glanced at the pile of sheets that emitted a strange fragrance, his lips twitched slightly, and he forced himself to calm down. He stood in front of the ritual circle, tugged at his wizard hat, and lowered his head to softly chant incantations.

"Whoosh whoosh~"

A gentle breeze stirred in the cramped laboratory, causing Isaac's wizard robes to flutter slightly. Suddenly, white mist reappeared, quickly filling the entire laboratory. The concentration rose rapidly until visibility was extremely low.

Isaac stopped chanting, looked up, tugged at his wizard's robes, and prepared to step forward, but just then—..—·

"Huh? Pervert!"

"He tui!"

"Huh?" Isaac was taken aback. Was it his imagination? He seemed to hear a sound of utter disgust, followed by what sounded like several kicks at the same time, hitting his buttocks and causing him to stumble forward a few times.

When Isaac straightened up, still bewildered, he saw the alluring witch again, the one who had uttered the ominous voice during the last ritual. Isaac wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt as if her eyes, hidden beneath her hat brim, seemed to glance at the pile of bedsheets in the laboratory behind him...

"It's you again~ boy~" His tone was as languid as ever. "This time~ is it~ a lot of bed~ sheets? Interesting~ Lucky~ you're back?"

"What luck?" Isaac was taken aback.

Isaac wasn't surprised to see the witch again. That's how the witch rituals work; the witches in later rituals are always the same ones he encountered the first time. He wasn't worried about arousing suspicion by using a lot of certain materials.

Because the rituals of legendary wizards are all imbued with idealistic qualities, different legendary wizards will have different understandings of the same ritual and will make changes to it. Some are used to changing the quantity, while others are used to changing the type.

Therefore, his unusual behavior will at most slightly affect his reputation.

After all, such changes are usually closely related to the wizard's preferences...

"Nothing much, just eat it. You'll still have a little bad luck for the day, just like before." The fierce witch didn't answer Isaac, but instead reached out and pushed the half-eaten cake on the white table to him.

Upon hearing this, Isaac subconsciously glanced at the corner of the fierce witch's mouth. Although he knew the cake wasn't real, men, after all, always have some unrealistic fantasies—

However, he only glanced at it before quickly withdrawing his gaze and reaching for the cream cake on the table. Although the ritual was now guaranteed to succeed without any serious backlash, it would be a bit unpleasant if the other party extended the bad luck period by another day.

After all, it's really not a pleasant feeling to lose bread eight times in one breakfast!

The cake wasn't big, only about the size of a palm, so Isaac finished it in just a few bites. The cake melted in his mouth, transforming into streams of mysterious magic that flowed through Isaac's entire body, adding to his mysterious and noble aura.

Most importantly, his magic power increased the moment he took a bite of the cake, and it increased by one-fifth again after he finished eating the cake!

The proportion is a bit lower than last time, but that's normal. After all, Isaac's magic power has been enhanced many times, and there aren't many formal wizards with more magic power than him.

If another ascension ceremony is held, he will become a great wizard.

And that day is not far off!

Because on his panel, the "Mana Fluctuation Period" column clearly showed 68%!

This is thanks to writing his own legend. And this is only one book. If he had written three, he would probably be able to start working on advancing to the rank of Grand Wizard in just a few days.

Of course, if he had actually written three books, his magical reserves wouldn't be as abundant as they are now; every little bit helps.

There are gains and losses; what suits you best is the best.

After finishing the cake, the white mist returned, filling his vision before dissipating again. He was then back in the laboratory, and the ceremony officially ended.
