The Wizard: Starting by Scamming the Demon God

Page 74

"Tear!"

Isaac raised his eyebrows and led the group to slowly retreat a step, watching with great interest the dragon lizard undergoing a dramatic change, its thin dragon blood... boiling!

The dragon lizard's flesh continued to tear and heal. In this process, its body grew larger and larger, its two hind legs became thicker and thicker, and although its forelimbs were also changing, they did not become thicker, but became more... slender. Its face also became more smooth, somewhat like... a human?

Isaac watched with great interest the dragon lizard undergoing its transformation; he knew what this creature was.

Dragonmen are a type of dragon-blooded demon. Among dragon-blooded demons, their bloodline purity is considered high. They are first-tier in their infancy, second-tier in adulthood, and have a very high probability of becoming third-tier high-level demons in their prime!

However, despite their strength, the dragon people did not present a good sign in the dragon blood experiments.

No matter how much the dragon bloodline within a dragon's body is purified, it can never evolve into a giant dragon; it can only become a dragon's servant!

In other words, the upper limit is locked.

There are many other dragon-blooded monsters like the dragon people, which is one of the reasons why the dragon blood purification experiment has not been able to proceed smoothly.

Halfway through the experiment, you might suddenly realize you've gone the wrong way...

How to control the direction of dragon blood purification is also an urgent problem to be solved. However, Isaac's research task did not involve this part too much, so it was only mentioned briefly and he did not have a deep impression of it.

Therefore, he was quite surprised that the dragon lizard evolved into a dragon-human.

Of course, it was just surprise. Whether or not he could become a dragon was of no concern to Isaac. His expectations for Number One far exceeded those of a so-called dragon. If his experiment succeeded, then the so-called dragon would be nothing more than a slightly famous mole in front of him.

but……

"Perhaps we could try using the power of the white whale to break the ironclad rule of the dragon bloodline?" Isaac stroked his chin thoughtfully as he watched the dragonman slowly rise to his feet.

The more he thought about it, the more reliable it seemed!

Report it up, and you might even get some resources for free!

But after thinking about it, Isaac abandoned the idea. Although it was exciting to freeload off a cult, it would affect his own experiments.

Because the seed given by the white whale has a maximum level of four, while the pure-blooded dragon is at level three, if it were to advance to level three through pure devouring, the risk of the dragonman going out of control would be too high, and it might be too late to conduct his experiments at that time.

The mere bloodline of a dragon is no match for that of a beluga whale.

In no time, the dragon-man's transformation was complete, and the standing dragon-man was a full three meters tall!

His arms were thicker than Isaac's thighs, and his thighs were more than twice the size of his arms. He was exceptionally burly and strong, but... why did he look so familiar?

Isaac stroked his chin, lost in thought, and after a moment, his eyes lit up!

He remembered!

Dragonman, strong, with earth-yellow scales...

Isn't that the Holy Lord?!

"Great! It's decided, from now on your name will be Holy Lord!" Isaac clapped his hands and said excitedly.

Not just the name, he even planned to cultivate his abilities in the direction of the Holy Lord, the twelve talismans... corresponding to twelve unlucky guys!

It should match, right?

Isaac wasn't entirely sure, but he had a general plan in mind!

Smith and Harmon looked at Isaac with surprise. They didn't quite understand why he was so excited about just giving a name. It seemed that even the mouse hadn't received this kind of treatment. No, it wasn't that it seemed.

Just not!

Isaac is still called "Shushu" now, and he won't even call him Ruicheng!

"Thank you, Master." To the astonishment of Smith and Harmon, the Holy Lord suddenly knelt down and expressed his gratitude, a scene that stunned the mouse on Isaac's shoulder who was munching on cheese.

We're not buddies, we've just been reformed, how come you can talk like that?

They're all familiars, and not only are they so big, but they're also so smart. Is it appropriate for them to be so curled up?

The mouse looked at the Holy Lord, then at Isaac, whose face was full of joy, and for some reason, suddenly the cheese in its mouth didn't taste so good anymore!

Oh no, I've lost my favorite pet!

The mouse gnawed on the cheese in its paws with a disappointed look, and for the first time, it was thinking about how to become stronger.

Isaac didn't notice the changes in the rat. He circled the Holy Lord twice, quite satisfied. Like Liuli, it was also a practitioner of both physical and magical arts. Moreover, it could speak right after its transformation, which meant that the memories in its bloodline had also awakened. Therefore, he wouldn't need to teach it spellcasting and combat skills again.

"Very good, get up. You can manage the beast garden with Liuli and help her out. Just let me collect data when I need it. There's nothing else to do."

"Yes, Master."

"Well, since you're a dragonman, let's go, let's test your strength first and let me see your general situation."

"Yes, Master," the Holy Lord said respectfully as he rose.

It had no choice but to be respectful. On one hand, it had a powerful familiar contract with the mad witch, and the two were originally in a master-servant relationship. On the other hand, its bloodline memories made it deeply understand the horror and power of the mad witch, which made it feel awe from the bottom of its heart!

Before long, the group arrived at the dilapidated training ground.

"Tsk tsk~ I'll tidy it up when I have time, it doesn't look very nice." Isaac shook his head as he looked at the dilapidated training ground.

“Yes, sir.” Smith bowed slightly behind Isaac.

“Liuli, why don’t you fight the Holy Lord and test its strength?” Isaac said after a moment’s thought.

Although the Holy Lord is only at the first rank, and because he has just undergone a transformation and has not yet fully matured, his level is only at the mid-level of the first rank. He is slightly inferior to Smith, who is close to the peak of the knight level, but he has the bloodline bonus, so his strength is not worse than that of an ordinary high-level first rank, and he can even fight against a second rank.

Therefore, among the group, only Liuli is suitable to fight it, otherwise it would be difficult to control its power.

Liuli and the Holy Lord nodded and walked to the middle of the dilapidated training ground, looking at each other from a distance.

The Holy Lord breathed fire into his hands, then pulled them apart, and a flaming greatsword instantly appeared!

The Dragonkin's signature spell—Dragonflame Sword!

"Lady Liuli, please forgive me!"

After saying that, the dragonman exerted force with his lower limbs and charged towards Liuli!

Facing the menacing dragon-man, Liuli remained calm. She reached under her skirt with her right hand and instantly pulled out a large sword more than a meter long, which she used to meet the dragon-man!

Chapter 114: Should we even try to be human?

"when!"

Despite the fact that one side was a raging inferno and the other a fleshy tumor, the moment these two weapons collided, they produced a clang as sharp as steel.

Immediately afterwards, the slender Liuli and the strong dragonman began to dance swiftly in the training ground. The cold blade light and the blazing sword marks intertwined, making the already dilapidated training ground even more fragmented!

As Isaac watched them fight, he gradually understood the Holy Lord's current strength. His strong physique combined with powerful dragon magic gave him combat power far exceeding that of a regular first-tier warrior!

Although its combat skills are still somewhat raw, it is growing at an extremely fast pace. Clearly, it has not yet fully digested the power from its bloodline. With further training, it may be able to possess the ability to fight beyond its level, just like Liuli.

However, what Isaac was most satisfied with was not the Holy Lord's combat power, but its incredibly natural spellcasting ability. It could apply dragon magic to actual combat the moment it transformed, even if it was just ordinary dragon magic such as dragon might, dragon roar, and dragon breath.

It's worth noting that even among normal dragonmen, not many can skillfully apply their abilities in combat even after reaching adulthood, which is quite interesting.

Although they have abandoned many of the physical characteristics of dragons and are closer to humans who excel in intelligence, their strength lies not in magic, but in their physical bodies...

Therefore, some wizards believe that the evolution of dragon people is a wrong path, even though they are already stronger than most dragon-blooded monsters and may even advance to become higher-level monsters.

Because the dragon people are in an awkward position: they are not as physically powerful as dragons, nor as intelligent as humans, so they are neither here nor there.

So, the fact that it can use magic to this extent right after its transformation shows that it has good magical talent and is very suitable for cultivating secret techniques!

Of course, Isaac's conclusion here is somewhat stereotypical, because learning arcane arts actually requires the least magical talent!

With that stuff, who would bother learning arcane arts? Wouldn't it be better to just become an arcane mage?

Even if you don't do well, you can still become a legendary wizard, write books, and perform rituals to level up. Isn't that good?

Who wants to be a wizard, a profession that requires a lot of time and energy?

However, it doesn't matter. Magical talent doesn't prevent you from becoming a sorcerer. The dimensional demons treat everyone fairly and justly, and everyone is equal. As long as you want, you can become a sorcerer!

That's still the case, at least for now.

After a while, seeing that the Holy Lord had finished his demonstration, Liuli ended the battle directly.

Isaac was not surprised by this at all. Although the Holy Lord was strong, Liuli was a follower of the Demon God. She had two powers, and both of them were practical. Unlike the Rat, her invisible hand was invisible and could hurt terribly if she punched it!

The gap is too big. Not to mention the first tier, even in the second tier, Liuli has few opponents, unless the opponent also has the power to see the invisible hand.

After this brutal beating, the Holy Lord looked at Liuli with more awe. He was surprised that such a small girl could be hit so hard!

After the battle, Isaac returned to the laboratory to continue his experiments and study spells. As for the Holy Lord... it had just undergone a transformation and needed to adapt to its own power before it could devote itself to learning arcane arts.

After that, the long-lost tranquility returned to Isaac's life. Especially after ordering takeout, he devoted himself to his research, often staying up all night. Anyway, a mage's body, enhanced by magic, might be a bit lacking for combat, but it's top-notch for staying up all night!

At least during Isaac's most intense period, he stayed up for seven days and seven nights straight!

Of course, it's worth it!

A month later, in the laboratory, after a full day of rest, Isaac looked at the bottle of golden-red potion on the table and smiled excitedly. This was the result of his seven days of tireless effort—the Dragon Transformation Elixir!

This potion embodies all the technical essence of his current research on dragon blood purification!

The effects of the Dragon Transformation Elixir are very simple and brutal. Just take this potion with a simple ritual that even an ordinary person can set up, and your heart will be transformed by the potion, giving you the blood of a dragon!

Of course, if it were only this level, it wouldn't be worth Isaac going to such lengths, as there are already quite a few potions that can imbue dragon blood.

The true value of the Dragon Transformation Elixir lies in the fact that it bestows upon the bloodline of a pure-blooded dragon!

Evolving continuously, the ultimate goal is to become a pure-blooded dragon!

This is what Isaac has combined with his cheat codes and current knowledge over the past seven days, ignoring the complex and diverse bloodlines of dragons, and directly reaching the pure-blooded dragon!

Of course, drinking it doesn't mean you'll instantly reach the third tier. It just means you'll have the bloodline of a pure-blooded dragon, but the dragon blood within your body still needs further purification. There's still a long way to go before you can become a true dragon.

What is certain is that drinking this medicine will allow one to advance to the second tier. Compared to the dragon bloodline, this is just an extra bonus. However, Isaac only made the dumplings for this dish of vinegar.

Yes, he prepared this potion for Smith.

Although a regular knight advancement potion could also allow Smith to advance to the second rank and become a Grand Knight, it must be said that Smith's talent was not actually very high. Coupled with the injuries he suffered in his early years, even if he became a Grand Knight with the help of the potion, his lifespan would not be extended by much.

And if we want to help him advance to the rank of high-ranking knight on this basis...

That would be several levels more difficult!

But if you drink this potion and gain dragon blood, the result... will be completely different!

Of course, this potion isn't perfect... It has a small flaw... Drinking it will turn you into a dragon-blooded monster!

They are no longer human, inside or out.
