The Wizard: Starting by Scamming the Demon God

The mouse perched on Isaac's left shoulder also squealed excitedly. Gray death magic gathered and formed a miniature magic circle on its left shoulder. Then, a pale bone claw, slightly smaller than Hamon's, emerged from the magic circle!

Under the mouse's control, the pale bone claws stretched out their fingers like Harmon, emanating a gray, deathly aura.

Unlike Hamon, the mouse's simple mind couldn't perform any sophisticated operations, so it simply imitated Hamon's appearance and was simply releasing the magic of death.

Meanwhile, the evil magic swirling around Hamon was releasing subtle magical fluctuations. These fluctuations quickly swept across the entire battlefield and, under Isaac's control, produced a strange reaction with the blood mist that the rat horde had turned into. In an instant, the blood mist turned into gray mist!

Faced with this sudden change, the high priest who was controlling the black orc army felt a slight jolt in his heart, and an ominous premonition arose. He quickly stopped the black orc army and prepared to raise a fel barrier to interrupt Isaac's spellcasting.

Unfortunately, he was a bit slower than Isaac, and not knowing the species of the rat swarm, he missed the best opportunity to stop the ritual!

On the city wall, a look of madness slowly crept onto Isaac's face. He brandished a white bone staff, his two ferocious claws floating behind him, gesticulating wildly on the city wall while muttering incantations.

A savage aura slowly permeated the entire battlefield. Suddenly, everyone's heart skipped a beat. Whether it was the black orcs or the fortress, everyone simultaneously looked up at the sky...

Thick black clouds had appeared in the sky, and a huge, blurry face emerged from them. A pair of deep eyes looked indifferently at Isaac, who was dancing on the city wall. A wisp of divine thought quietly descended and appeared in Isaac's mind.

High Priest of the Balrogs, why have you issued this summons?

"Supreme God of the Black Orcs! You are so devout..." Isaac was pretending to go through the motions when he suddenly glanced at the motionless success rate of the ritual.

From the beginning until now, the success rate of this ritual has remained at a perfect 1000, without any change. In other words, there is no possibility of reverse breaking this non-transactional ritual.

After a moment's thought, Isaac understood that it was normal for things not to change, because these kinds of summoning rituals are usually initiated by believers, and as a god, he doesn't need to sneak around to take what belongs to believers.

After figuring it out, Isaac stopped pretending and immediately straightened up. Under the horrified gazes of Gaia and the others, he casually said, "Kill them."

The cold, indifferent eyes above the clouds watched Isaac silently for a moment, then, after a 200% drop in success rate, shifted their gaze to the black orcs on the battlefield.

The next moment...

Unparalleled power has descended!

Nearly two thousand of the five thousand black orcs were wiped out in an instant!

【Um? 】

The moment the Black Orcs were annihilated, the Black Orc God above the clouds seemed to realize what was happening. He looked towards the city wall, a hint of anger appearing in his deep eyes. However, before he could do anything, the ritual ended completely, and his projection vanished.

Finally, all that caught the eye was the slight upturn of the corners of his mouth beneath the wizard's hat...

The Invisible Hat is a legendary magical effect that wizards automatically apply during rituals, ensuring that no one can see the true face beneath the hat.

……

“Done~” In the silence, Isaac smiled and pulled up his wizard hat.

“What is this…? Why is He… this…” Gaia looked at Isaac with complicated eyes, completely at a loss for words. She looked at Cheryl, who was also silent, not knowing how to explain either.

She only understood the first part of Isaac's operation, which was to use the modified Balor Rats to suicidally charge into the Black Orc army in order to set up a sacrificial ritual, replacing the Balor Rats with the Balor Rats to summon the Black Orc God.

The dance Isaac performed was the most widespread blood sacrifice dance among the Black Orc tribes in the wilderness, a bloody ritual to summon the power of the Black Orc god and defend against external enemies.

This is usually a method used by tribes when they are desperate and have reached the end of their rope, because to launch this ritual, at least one thousand Balo ratmen must be sacrificed!

This is why the ritual was gradually lost among the Orcs, as many small tribes don't even have a thousand members. Currently, it is only circulated in the Wizarding World and is collected as knowledge of ritual studies.

So when she learned that Isaac's rats and the Balor ratmen were of the same race, she guessed that Isaac wanted to summon the power of the Black Orc God to fight the enemy.

Although the idea is crazy, it is theoretically possible to succeed. Historically, there have been mad witches who used this move against their enemies. Apart from the high energy consumption, long prelude, and ease of interruption, it is practically perfect.

Because this ritual does not draw upon the consciousness of the Black Orc God. As a notorious evil god, countless believers call upon His name and summon His power every day, and He cannot possibly respond to every believer personally.

Therefore, what responds to these rituals and prayers is a response mechanism He established.

Isaac's plan utilizes this mechanism, and normally there shouldn't be any problems.

but!

but!

but!

What she didn't understand was why Isaac was so arrogant? And how did the Black Orc God's mechanism manage to execute so smoothly?

Has the mad witch's skill level evolved to this extent? Or are they really just too conservative?

Cheryl couldn't understand it; her mind was a complete mess.

But even more confused than her were the orcs on the battlefield, as well as the high priest and high-ranking members of the orc alliance who controlled the orc army behind the scenes. They were standing there dumbfounded, not even noticing the rats that were gradually surrounding them...

There's no way around it; the God of the Black Orcs is the absolute faith of most Black Orcs!

Even those Black Orcs who worship the Lord of a Thousand Flesh and Blood and the Lord of a Thousand Stars will naturally maintain the highest and purest respect for the God of the Black Orcs!

However, the very god of the black orcs, whom they so revered, now stood on the side of their enemies and unleashed a thunderous attack upon them!

They don't understand!

Very incomprehensible!

They understand that the God of the Orcs will kill the Orcs, after all, he is an evil god, and it is normal for him to kill innocent people. But you can't side with humans, can you?

You beast!

For a moment, all the black orcs' brains went blank, and they stood there frozen in place.

While they stood there in a daze, Isaac did not. After the rat swarm had gathered to a sufficient extent, Isaac gave the order!

"Mouse, bones explode!"

"Squeak!!"

The rat waved its pale bone claws, and with a flick of its index finger, a gray ray of death magic struck the rat horde that surrounded the black orc army!

The next moment...

"Pah, pah, pah, pah!!!!"

An explosion, like a firecracker, engulfed the Black Orc army!

The death magic contained within a single Baro rat is extremely limited, so the power of the bone explosion is also very limited. It may look spectacular, but in reality, it cannot even break through a defense.

But this refers to the shockwave and bone fragments from the explosion of the skeleton.

The most terrifying aspect of necromancy is its extremely powerful corrosive ability!

The magic of death is a power that can even corrupt the caster!

So as a large number of Baroque rats exploded, the death magic on the battlefield slowly thickened, gradually forming a faint gray mist...

This familiar scene sent a shiver down the spines of the Black Orcs, reminding them of the fleeting glimpse of the Black Orc God just moments before. They immediately left behind over a hundred corpses and scrambled back.

At the same time, the high priest and the leaders of the Black Orc alliance felt even more gloomy, because they realized that the explosion of the skeletons was clearly a divine spell of the Black Orc God!

There are many versions of the spell Bone Explosion, and many people know it, but the Divine Spell Bone Explosion is unique to Scorpion Papa!

So, has the great Black Orc god truly abandoned us?

The group exchanged glances, all seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes.

Because it's not impossible!

The recent actions in the wilderness are something that not only Isaac and his group don't understand, but frankly, even they don't understand. Don't they know the consequences of cooperating with demons?

Why would they grit their teeth and sacrifice so many of their people to do it?

Because this is the oracle of the Black Orc God!

So they didn't actually understand why the Black Orc God did this. They hadn't thought about it deeply before because it was the Black Orc God's divine decree. It's normal for evil gods to make outrageous decisions. If you can guess what an evil god wants to do, then you are an evil god.

Often, what seems absurd and ridiculous to them may just be an interesting show in the eyes of the evil god.

But now it’s different…

They were horrified to discover that if they added a premise to this matter—the God of the Black Orcs was going to betray them and whitewash himself!

Then the whole incident can be completely connected!

That makes sense now!

The logic of exterminating all the Black Orcs in exchange for clearing one's name and joining the human camp makes sense!

Although the God of the Black Orcs is called the God of the Black Orcs, there is actually no race in His divine office, and He is not of Black Orc origin. The reason why He is called the God of the Black Orcs is unknown. But one thing is clear: He has no problem with Black Orcs.

It will not affect one's own power in any way, and the lost faith can be made up for from humanity, and possibly even more!

Becoming a god in the human camp not only brings massive human faith, but also has another advantage: it allows for frequent and legitimate trade with human wizards. The faith power provided by these high-quality beings is far stronger than that of the black orcs...

The more they thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed, and they couldn't help but feel a growing fear...

If they could, no one would want to die...

But... that's the god of the black orcs... should we really rebel?

A sense of powerlessness washed over them, and the group sat back down on the ground with bitterness. A sense of impending death began to spread through the tent...

……

Meanwhile, Isaac was unaware that his move had thrown the Black Orcs' leadership into a state of panic. He was currently looking at his masterpiece with satisfaction; this wave of attacks had been incredibly successful!

At least three thousand black orcs were wiped out!

They all deal more damage than the Mage Tower and Magic Cannon!

The price was nothing more than the depletion of the magic power accumulated by the Flesh Nest during this period, which is insignificant compared to the battle results!

It's incredibly cost-effective, okay?!

This is the power of knowledge!

Looking at the devastated battlefield, Isaac sighed with emotion.

Of course, his "golden finger" also played a significant role in this; without it as a safety net, he might not have dared to use such an aggressive plan.

It's a bit of a shame that the Black Orcs are the absolute opposite of humans; otherwise, he could have tried modifying a few Black Orc totems and sending them into the wilderness to cause some trouble for the Black Orc god.

Chapter 54 When the birds are all gone, the good bow is put away?

Behind Isaac, watching the retreating Orc army, everyone exchanged bewildered glances. Had this crisis been... resolved?

So simple?

So fast?

After watching the retreating orc army for a moment, and seeing that it really wasn't a feint, a huge weight was lifted from his heart. It was truly... over...
