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

Chapter 91 Time Reversal Barrier

"It's time magic!" Isaac took the spellbook, his eyes lighting up. This was a real treasure!

Especially for them, the wizards!

This brings us to the difference between spellbooks and magic books, a unique classification for witches. The former cannot be used to cast spells, but can be used to learn the spells recorded within, while the latter can be used to cast spells, but cannot be used to learn the spells recorded within.

But for wizards, it's not so complicated. Spellbooks and magic books are the same type; they don't value their spellcasting abilities, they only use them for learning.

The reason is simple: while spellcasting from a magic book is convenient, it's too predictable, only reducing the energy consumption.

It's far less than the freedom that comes from taking control of your own destiny.

Therefore, in the eyes of wizards, regardless of whether a book can be used to cast spells, as long as it records spells or even related spell knowledge, it can be called a magic book.

So for Isaac, Angel's gift was indeed quite generous!

That's time magic!

In Isaac's previous life in the world of novels, there was a saying that "space is king and time is supreme." Although this world does not have such a fantastical saying, the status is similar.

Any spell that involves directly manipulating space and time is of a very high level!

To master spatial magic, one must be at least a great wizard; otherwise, one can only rely on high-ranking beings or treasures like spellbooks. Time magic is even more extreme.

They represent two extremes. They were introduced to space magic earlier than the latter. Legend has it that formal wizards can master them, while arcane wizards have an even lower skill level, and even mage apprentices can master them!

But they are all just superficial tricks like foreseeing the future and the Recall spell. Especially foreseeing the future, there are spells with the same name from the first to the third tier, but the effects are vastly different!

First- and second-order methods can only provide very vague hints, and they may not even be accurate!

But once you get to the third level, it's like looking at it under a microscope!

The thief knows perfectly well!

Of course, while high-ranking wizards can formally learn time magic, this doesn't mean it's easy to learn.

Time magic remains a privilege reserved for a select few high-ranking wizards!

Most people can't even find a way to learn!

And now, thanks to Angel, Isaac, who is still just a formal wizard, already has three!

Now, Isaac somewhat understands why Philo values ​​Angel so much; she's a real talent!

Unfortunately, perhaps due to her accustomed status as the legendary wizard Philoby, or perhaps due to the arrogance of the nobility, she did not genuinely befriend Angel, but rather intended to devour her as resources.

In the end, he broke a tooth.

Isaac eagerly opened the spellbook and glanced at the time magic recorded inside. Although he, like other wizards, despised casting spells with spellbooks, it depended on what kind of magic it was.

This is noble time magic!

What's wrong with using a magic book?

Some people want to use it but don't even have the chance!

Therefore, understanding its effects is very important.

The first one is Angel's Time Passage, which can only be used on inanimate objects that are not alive or do not have a complete magic cycle. It can make their time pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye, millions of years can be lost!

It has many limitations, but the effects are terrifying!

It has a strong witch vibe.

This technique is quite useful for cleaning up the battlefield and destroying evidence, but it's hard to find any other applications for it right now. The main reason is that the definition of "life" is too broad, including not only plants but also bacteria!

It would be a shame if it could be used in experiments.

Compared to the first "Passage of Time," the second one is much more interesting—a "Time Reversal Barrier."

When placed on an object, the enchantment will be triggered when the object is destroyed, causing a portion of the object's time to revert to the state it was when the enchantment was first established.

The most practical and interesting feature is this "partial time" rollback!

First, if it is applied to a living being, the memories in its mind will not be rewound. Second, the magic that maintains the time reversal barrier will also be affected. In other words, although the barrier can only last for one hour, if it is damaged in any way during that hour, the duration of the time reversal barrier will be reset!

This is very practical!

Because suicide can also be traced back to its source.

It is very reliable for both protection and interrogation.

The only downside is that while maintaining the barrier, one cannot use high-level energies such as magic, otherwise it will affect the magical operation of the barrier.

In other words, if it's to be used in combat, only formal knights can benefit from the infinite rebirth buff, and it won't have a significant impact on high-level combat.

Alternatively, one could cast a curse spell on oneself, the kind that costs one's own life, which could also be used in combat, but would still leave one in a passive position.

Because the other party can choose to bypass you.

Even so, this spell is sufficient!

It can even be used in some experiments.

The third time-related spell is called Time Travel!

Unfortunately, it only looks impressive; the actual effect is so-so because this spell only goes out and doesn't come back!

Moreover, the exact time of departure is completely unknown!

It cannot be used against enemies yet, because this spell requires the target to be completely relaxed and wait for thirty seconds in an extremely elaborate time array before being teleported away.

Its practical and experimental significance is close to zero.

It has some research value, as we can further understand the knowledge of time magic by analyzing the essence of this spell.

Unfortunately, this has absolutely nothing to do with the current Isaac.

Isaac closed the spellbook. Although each spell had its advantages and disadvantages, and the actual effective time spell was only one and a half, he was still very satisfied. After all, rescuing Angel was just a matter of course.

"Pfft~ This gift of yours is too heavy. How about this, I'll go all the way with you. Where are you going? I'll take you there directly." Isaac put the magic book back into his arms and said with a smile.

"No need then. You've already helped me a lot. I'll leave after two more towns. Someone will meet me there." Angel shook her head, rejecting Isaac's suggestion.

Are you kidding me? Have Isaac deliver it?

Unless she's gone mad!

It's important to know that the Time Magic Book is also very precious to her, especially since it contains a Time Reversal Barrier that is extremely useful to her. Whether she can condense it again next time depends on luck.

Even so, she still gave it to Isaac!

Because she wanted to sever ties with Isaac!

Isaac is completely different from Philo; this guy is even crazier!

In Angel's eyes, Philo was already crazy for making deals with the Outer Gods every now and then, but what about Isaac?

This guy doesn't even bother with trading; he just steals things from the Outer Gods!

And unlike Philo, he doesn't have a demigod father!

Therefore, if she could sever ties with Isaac using a magic book, it would be a very worthwhile thing for her!

She never wants to have anything to do with Isaac again in her life!

Whether hostile or friendly!
