The Wizard: Starting by Scamming the Demon God

Page 129

They originally planned to sell some of Filo's things to disgust her a little, but who knew that Mensa, that old fox, would sell them for a high price. They made a lot of money from this transaction!

hateful!

I should have gone to bargain myself!

But it's too late to think about that now. The big shots have already agreed on the price, and he, a mere Karami, has no power to change it. So... let's get down to business!

Isaac glanced at the Lucky Female Knight on the ground, who was staring at him with terrified eyes. He summoned a gust of wind to block the barrier from sensing his location, and then flew straight towards Roton Fortress. Then, he turned towards Etra City halfway there!

At the same time, Philo also received a message from Mensa. This time, she did not hesitate at all. She immediately woke up the dazed Remington and began to divide her forces, preparing to take over the entire Kingdom of Etra as quickly as possible!

Philo is no longer the girl who once wanted to compete with Isaac. Now she is fully aware of the insurmountable gap between herself and Isaac.

Therefore, no matter how outrageous Isaac's actions were, she was no longer surprised.

While Philo and Remington were attacking and capturing cities, Isaac, who had concealed his whereabouts, quietly arrived above the city of Etra!

I wonder how many Heavy Pressure Hells a High Knight could withstand!

Chapter 186 Battle against the High Knight! Shoot him all over!

Above the royal city of Etra, Isaac floated in the air, looking down at the bustling city below.

Yes, it's bustling.

In Etra, where ordinary people live worse than pigs and dogs, it's quite laughable that its capital city can be considered prosperous.

This is why Isaac and his companions didn't find anything unusual when they arrived in Etra. It was just like any other royal city in other countries—prosperous and peaceful.

Until they reached Fort Rhoden...

Only then did I realize what kind of hell the ordinary people here lived in...

Isaac looked down at the bustling city below, a glint in his eyes. A few breaths later, a stream of information flooded into his mind.

[Analysis] This power is not only useful for assisting research, but also for other purposes, such as intelligence gathering.

Normally, if Isaac wanted to understand the entire royal city, even working around the clock, it would take him at least seven or eight days to explore it thoroughly, and even then, there would still be many omissions.

But the [Analysis] is different. In just a few seconds, it not only explored the structure of the royal city, but also got a pretty good idea of ​​the interpersonal relationships among the people living in the royal city.

That's good enough; at least it can lessen Isaac's guilt a little bit...

Although he knew that war would inevitably result in death, and that he didn't have the ability to protect ordinary people in a battle against high-ranking knights, Isaac was ultimately not the kind of madman who would kill indiscriminately.

Regardless, if it affects ordinary people, he will still feel somewhat guilty, after all, he is still a normal human being, not a reader of fantasy novels on Qidian.

But now things are different. Through the information provided by the [analysis], Isaac learned that there are no ordinary people living in the royal city. The vast majority of people there are nobles and their families, and a small number are merchants who work as dogs for the nobles.

This personnel structure is unusual, but it works in Etra because most of the manual labor in the royal city is done by androids. They don't need to eat or drink, they don't complain of being tired, and they can be replaced directly when they get sick, so there are no labor disputes.

They're even more amazing than programmers!

Therefore, these few merchants contributed to the prosperity of the entire royal city!

They made a fortune!

Therefore, even if I die, it's not a loss.

With that thought in mind, Isaac spread his arms wide, revealing a ferocious smile, his large wizard robes slightly disheveled by the strong wind.

"A bag of rice... no, privilege: Heavy Pressure Hell: Full Power!"

"boom!!!"

In an instant, accompanied by a massive burst of magical power, a gravity field that enveloped the entire royal city was suddenly formed, and Isaac delivered all the magical power that pressed down on hell at once!

In an instant, this royal city, built on false prosperity and the blood and flesh of countless mortals... collapsed!

Isaac's spell had a wide range this time, and since it was cast at full power, the gravity field didn't last long. After Isaac focused on destroying those key nodes with gravity, the entire royal city collapsed instantly!

Thick smoke and dust billowed into the sky!

The entire royal city was filled with wails, terror, and fear!

It's like a living hell!

"presumptuous!"

At that moment, a deep voice rang out, and a blue light flew out from the thick smoke and dust, wielding a long sword and charging towards Isaac!

The visitor was none other than the King of Etra!

At this moment, he was no longer as radiant as before. His pampered face was filled with anger, and deep in his eyes, there was even a trace of barely perceptible fear.

As an ambitious, idealistic, and capable king, he was no fool. Connecting this to what Philo was doing, he instantly understood what Isaac and the others wanted to do.

In fact, he had already suspected that the other contestants were people he had organized.

But in the end, it was just speculation before, because he still harbored a sliver of hope that the behemoth that was Terra Empire would have some sense of propriety and would take other forces into consideration.

But when Isaac made his move, all his hopes were dashed!

Isaac and Philo are nothing special, just two juniors who haven't even touched the edge of the third tier. The key is the vast Terra Empire behind them!

However, there is still a chance!

If we can capture Isaac here and hand him over to the wizarding team outside, thus uncovering the Terra Empire's conspiracy ahead of time, then there is still hope!

if only!

Take down this kid!

"Privilege: The Desperate Rabbit"

Facing the king who charged like lightning, Isaac smiled slightly. A peculiar force field enveloped Isaac, and the king's longsword finally stopped 0.5 centimeters in front of Isaac's right chest. No matter how hard the king tried, it could not advance an inch further!

Seeing this, Isaac's smile deepened. He had done his research before coming. The king's awakened power was [Ice Flame], which allowed him to control a special kind of flame. This power was quite good among high-ranking knights because it possessed both fire and ice properties.

Knights are different from wizards. Although they can awaken powers at the third tier, most of them are elemental powers, and rule-based powers are very rare. Of course, once awakened, they are the most powerful powers.

Back then, Caesar, the eldest brother, held back for so long at the threshold of the third tier because he wanted to unlock a top-tier power. Unfortunately, due to the pressure from the black orcs, he had to break through ahead of schedule and only awakened the [Lightning] power.

Therefore, compared to purely single elemental powers, the King's [Ice Flame] is already quite good, which is something he is quite proud of. After all, among the high knights, the power of rules is clearly defined as only high knights who have absorbed the power of faith through the path of divinity can awaken it.

High-ranking knights like him, who follow the path of magical beasts and forge their bloodlines, have only elemental powers and auxiliary powers left. However, auxiliary powers are not only difficult to awaken, but their contribution to combat power is not immediate, so they are not popular among knights.

Even if it can raise the Cavaliers' ceiling a few points higher.

However, it was the king's pride in his power that gave Isaac the confidence to fight him!

Isaac's privileged magic, Desperate Rabbit, cannot be broken by brute force alone, not even by brute force derived from authority!

"boom!"

Ice-blue flames ignited on the king's longsword, and the sword's power intensified!

However, the distance between the sword tip and Isaac remained unchanged...

Not even a wisp of ice flame could break through...

Faced with this bizarre scene, the king frowned, but before he could think of a solution, an immense force was applied to him.

"Privilege: The Cruelest Hell!"

In an instant, the king transformed into a blue meteor and crashed into the ground, creating a huge crater!

"Kaka~"

On the ground, the king, sword in hand, struggled to his feet and stared at Isaac in disbelief. Was this guy really just a second-tier archmage?

"Do you want to break the alliance?!"

"Heh~" Isaac chuckled lightly, but did not speak. Instead, he responded with a dazzling magic cannon!

Normally, it would be a joke for Isaac's magic cannon to hit a high-ranking knight, but now the king is suppressed by gravity and even has difficulty moving. He can't make any agile movements and naturally can't dodge, so he was hit directly.

However, although he couldn't dodge it, he could still counter it. The king unleashed a sword strike, and an icy blue sword aura collided with the magic cannon in mid-air, causing a rather violent energy fluctuation.

However, the king who blocked the attack felt no surprise, because he knew some information about Isaac. Isaac used these seemingly energy-intensive magic cannons casually.

But his sword aura is different!

At least not now!

Under the powerful gravitational pressure, even swinging his sword became difficult. That sword strike consumed a lot of his battle qi. More importantly, if he didn't find a way to break free from this gravity, he would have to constantly use his battle qi to protect his internal organs!

That treacherous wizard, in addition to the immense gravity, actually took extra care of his internal organs!

Moreover, he only focused on a few internal organs, which made it more difficult for him to protect them. He either had to allocate more energy to precisely control the battle qi in his body so that it could protect each internal organ just right, or he could treat them all equally, increase the battle qi, and maximize the output of the battle qi!

Frankly, neither of these is a good solution. One consumes a lot of energy, and the other consumes a lot of battle qi. The treacherous wizard in the sky has mastered privileged magic and exclusive spellcasting techniques. Before he runs out of privileges, he is no different from an ordinary high-level wizard.

But he had no choice but to do so, because while high-ranking knights primarily focused on physical training, their internal organs...

To be honest, it's very difficult to train like that. At least the intensity is definitely not comparable to their muscles and bones, since the structure is different. Although they are definitely many times stronger than ordinary people, they still cannot withstand that kind of gravity.

'So, should we use that one?' The king looked up at Isaac with difficulty, and in a flash of thought, he had already made his decision.

'So, are we going to use that?' Isaac's lips curled up slightly as he looked at the king below, whose battle aura was beginning to swell.

"Combat Skill: Divine Descent!"

With a soft shout, the surging battle aura began to collapse, condensing into a dazzling blue light. This dazzling blue light quickly eliminated the immense gravity pressing down on the king, instantly freeing him!

Combat Skill: Divine Descent. This is a special combat skill that only high-ranking knights can learn. It consumes a large amount of battle energy and simulates the power of gods. It can eliminate all magical effects, even those derived from divine authority!

This combat skill is not difficult to master and is widely known. After all, it is one of the cornerstones of a knight's ability to fight against a wizard, so it is naturally not kept secret.

However, this move is extremely energy-consuming and puts a great strain on the body. After using it, one needs to rest for a period of time; otherwise, even with the knight's strong physique, he will suffer serious damage.

Therefore, it can only be used once in a battle.

This is also why Isaac didn't immediately unleash all the heavy pressure from Hell; he was worried that the king would use this divine intervention to override his privileged magic.

For magic like Hellfire, Divine Descent is practically an invincible frame.

But it's alright now. The divine intervention has been used up. Although the knights have other combat skills that can remove magic effects or even temporarily grant immunity to all magic, this king has not mastered any of them.

This intelligence was provided by Philo, and Isaac trusted it quite a bit, after all, it was the Empire's intelligence network, and one that belonged to the royal family.

So, the winner is decided!

Of course, it will take a while, because...

"Hoohoo!"
