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

Chapter 83 Therefore, the Holy Grail War could not possibly proceed normally! (3000 words, first update)

"Habarina Kabarina! Hanuna~ It's so hot today! Kunkun Seumida &*%&~"

In a valley outside the town of Phyllis, Isaac stood before a magic circle radiating golden light, chanting long and complex incantations. The small magic lamp in the center of the circle emitted a dazzling golden light, slowly floating in mid-air and emitting powerful magical fluctuations!

It's still the standard circle and six-pointed star. It seems that wizards like to use this basic magic circle, which is different from that of arcane mages. Of course, Isaac likes it too. This kind of magic circle is very easy to modify.

After a while, Isaac gradually stopped chanting the incantation, and the golden light in the magic circle slowly dissipated. Above the magic circle, a longsword appeared—the Noble Phantasm: Severing All Things!

Unlike normal Noble Phantasms, as the summoner, Isaac knew the name and ability of this Noble Phantasm without even holding it in his hand. Its ability was extremely simple yet terrifying. Just like its name, it could cut everything in the world in two by reciting the release spell!

This is obviously just the creator bragging.

In reality, it is a Noble Phantasm created with slashing spells as its core. The stronger the Noble Phantasm's master, the more things this sword can cut through. Theoretically, it is indeed possible to cut through objects, but it is only a possibility.

Moreover, it's the person who's strong, not the sword, and not everyone is some green algae-headed swordsman.

But no matter what, having a powerful weapon is still pretty good.

"Liuli, this is for you."

"Yes, Master."

Behind Isaac, Liuli nodded gently, stepped forward to take the Wanwu Liangjian (a magical artifact), examined it for a moment, then tucked it into her waistband. She then returned to Isaac's side and waited quietly with him for the other eight rituals.

Yes, Isaac wasn't the only one who chose the Noble Phantasm. Just as he had guessed, many of the forces in the town of Phyllis that had been vying for the Little Genie Lamp weren't using it themselves, but rather preparing it for the forces behind them.

The Terra Empire is an empire on the rise, healthy and full of upward vitality, so most of the geniuses are concentrated in the hands of the government, that is, the nobles. Even geniuses who emerge from the common people will be quickly recruited.

Rituals like the Great Trial of the Magic Lamp are allocated as a high-quality cultivation resource, and only those who are not favored, such as Philo, and those who are far from the political center of the empire, such as Isaac, need to fight for a spot.

Therefore, many of these people's own familiars may not be worse than those given by the genie lamp ritual. However, most of the familiars here are actually the riders they brought with them.

They are almost all at the peak of the Knight realm, just one step away from becoming Grand Knights. By doing so, they can exploit a bug to possess a Tier 2 combat unit in a Tier 1 ritual.

Adding them to their own units, that makes two second-tier combat units!

For other trial participants without any background, wouldn't that be indiscriminate slaughter?

This is one of the reasons why the spots in the Genie's Lamp Trial are monopolized by powerful forces; participating is essentially a waste of time.

but··-

"Eight? So many spots have been lost this time?" Isaac narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the eight beams of light that were still shining. He knew that even the Grand Trial only had fourteen spots in total, and more than half of them were gone!

Phyllis is located near the capital city; how could it possibly get out of control?

Isaac sensed something was wrong, but he didn't do anything else; he just stood there quietly and waited.

Soon, the other eight trial participants who summoned familiars also completed the ritual. The moment the eight pillars of light dissipated, fourteen pillars of light shot into the sky once again!

A giant golden magic circle appeared above the town of Phyllis, and the golden sky instantly replaced the night sky!

At the same time, a lamp shaped like an oil lamp quietly condensed in the center of the magic circle!

Battle begins!

"call!"

The moment the battle began, a piece of congealed flesh slipped from Isaac's hand. Under the innate sorcery of flesh transformation, it rapidly twisted and grew larger, and in the blink of an eye, a giant magical eagle appeared beside Isaac.

The Golden-Winged Eagle is a first-tier high-level monster, skilled in flight and possessing exceptional defensive capabilities.

Isaac and Liuli quickly boarded the golden eagle and flew together to the center of Phyllis Town, heading to the decisive battleground!

"Hmm?" As soon as he took to the sky, Isaac frowned slightly because the three trial participants nearby seemed to be rushing towards him. Although all three were from the opposing camp, wasn't it a bit of a coincidence?

Isaac narrowed his eyes slightly, his feeling that something was wrong growing stronger, but it didn't matter. He was going to fight sooner or later anyway, so it was better if they fought together, saving him the trouble of searching everywhere!

"Liuli!"

"exist!"

"Prepare for battle!"

"yes!"

On the other side, a rider who was rushing towards the giant eagle in the sky frowned. Why did he feel that the person's direction had changed? It seemed like... he was heading towards them?

"Attention! The enemy may have discovered our intentions. Everyone, immediately activate your magical items to enhance your spell resistance!"

"receive!"

"receive!"

After a brief and decisive reply, bursts of magical light shone on them and the fallen knights of their summoned familiars.

"Liuli, go! Leave no one alive!" A moment later, the golden giant eagle stopped advancing and circled in the air. Isaac looked at the six riders gathered on the street below with cold eyes.

"Yes, ma'am!" Liuli responded, then with an invisible hand pressing down on her skirt, she leaped down!

Three thumb-sized rubies fell with her!

"Prepare for battle!"

The knight, who was about to shoot down the giant eagle with his bow, saw Liuli leap down directly. His pupils contracted slightly, and he immediately abandoned the idea of ​​drawing his bow. Instead, he called to his companions to draw their longswords together!

Bows and arrows, unless they are magic arrows or Noble Phantasms, are only good for dealing with fragile targets. They are simply not enough for knights, and it is better to just draw a sword.

Six against two, the advantage lies with them!

"Flesh Transformation - Two-Headed Gale Wolf!" ×——.-12!

"Boom boom boom!"

As the glass and ruby ​​approached the ground, Isaac's flesh-transformation magic followed. The three rubies, which were condensed with a large amount of flesh essence, instantly expanded, intertwined with each other, and then transformed into twelve two-headed whirlwind wolves, which fell to the ground with the glass!

Six knights: "???"

Dude—you're not off, are you? Where did you come from, you wolf?

As the Gale Wolves surrounded the six of them, a bead of cold sweat slowly rolled down the forehead of the leading knight.

Before we came, I didn't tell them that the Wizard of All Souls had this trick up his sleeve!

The moment they landed, Liuli and the demon wolves didn't give them a chance to explain. They immediately unleashed 24 wind blades at their faces. Then, Liuli drew her Wanwu Liangjian sword, drawing a golden streak of light, and charged directly into the crowd that had been scattered by the wind blades!

"Forward! Blade!"

As Liuli chanted the incantation, a dazzling golden light condensed on the knight's longsword. Combined with her physical strength, which was comparable to that of a second-tier warrior under the enhancement of magic, Liuli flashed past the six people in an instant!

"puff!!!!

Six jets of blood gushed out, and six heads flew high into the air, their eyes still filled with confusion.

Is this the novice wizard mentioned above who knows nothing but strange witchcraft?

What's so new about this?

Unfortunately, no one could answer their questions. What followed was another blast of wind blades from the demon wolves, which shattered the six headless corpses into pieces!

The entire battle, from landing to ending, took only two seconds, one of which was spent on the wind blade used by the demon wolf to finish off the enemy.

Although their buffer time is extremely short now, this interval still exists, there's no way around it.

The moment the six heads hit the ground, six golden rays also emerged from their bodies, then combined in pairs to form three golden beams that shot towards the magic lamp above the town of Phyllis.

This mutation changed the expressions of everyone else. They had thought Isaac would be strong, but they hadn't expected him to be this strong!

The six knights working together couldn't even last a single exchange!

"Let's go! Take care of him first!"

Without much hesitation, the other six trial participants changed direction and headed towards Isaac!

Two of them summon familiars, while the other four are summoned Noble Phantasms. In other words, the one who comes will be a true genius!

However, even though it's supposed to be a seven-on-seven trial, why have nine groups of people been rushing towards me so far?

"Six? As expected—"—"Princess Philo, what trick are you trying to play?" Isaac's lips curled up slightly as he looked in Philo's direction.

But that's fine, it makes things interesting. Let him see just how good the empire's geniuses really are.

Thinking this, Isaac reached into the pocket at his waist, grabbed a handful of rubies, and tossed them out, while a tube of green potion dangling from his mouth.

"Rip!"

Hamon emerged from the back of Isaac's neck, its five fingers outstretched, and a "hehe" laugh full of the Soul Palace's flavor emanated from its gaping mouth. As Isaac's two-sided magical pet, it had already sensed the surging fighting spirit within Isaac's body!

"Flesh Transformation - Greatsword Demon!"

"Hehehe!!!"

Isaac gulped down the green potion, and a surge of magical power rushed toward Hamon. In an instant, an unprecedented surge of magical power coursed through the veins of the demon claw, causing Hamon's five fingers to swell and twist in pain!

The dazzling red light stood out starkly against the golden sky, causing everyone who witnessed it to frown.

A sudden sense of foreboding arose in my heart.

But things have come to this point, the plan has reached this stage, and success is just around the corner, so how can we give up halfway?

Does that do justice to the eldest princess's upbringing?

Thinking this, the group moved with lightning speed, rushing towards Isaac!

On the other side, Angel stood quietly in the middle of the street at the entrance of the town, glancing calmly at the enemies approaching from three directions. Her expression was utterly serene, as if she had already anticipated this scene.

A moment later, looking at the three groups of people appearing on the rooftops on both sides, Angel sighed, gently stroking the magic book resting on her round thighs, and then suddenly laughed, a somewhat unrestrained laugh.

"So, after all these years, in His Highness Philo's eyes, am I really just equal to you?"
