Wizard: Scamming a Demon God

Chapter 355: Chapter 259: The Embodiment of Mechanics and Stats — Lorna

Miracle, Remi Gallard’s Mad Witch Trait, allows him to weave the misfortunes of others to accumulate his own miracles, helping him accomplish one incredible feat after another. Besides always giving him the upper hand in Outer God trading rituals, this trait also provides a huge boost to his Curse School Magic. The Curses he casts have an extremely high success rate and are nearly impossible to dispel!

Prank Master: A Faith-based Extraordinary Ability of the destiny aspect, allowing one to manipulate luck and misfortune to a certain extent. The more widespread this title, the stronger its power!

This was all the information available on Remi Gallard. As a High-level Mage, and a High-level Mad Witch who had spent many years consolidating his power at Tier Three, he definitely had more tricks up his sleeve.

Unfortunately, these abilities alone were enough for him to solve most of his problems.

That was why, after so many years of gathering intelligence, Isaac’s father, Gaia, had only managed to obtain this little information. But even this small amount of intel was enough to prove how difficult this man was to deal with.

Fortunately, while Isaac hadn’t obtained more detailed intelligence from the Sect, he did know one thing: even though Remi had joined the Phantom Crow Society—a Wizard Organization with a rather ancient heritage—it wouldn’t affect Isaac’s quest for revenge.

This was because, unlike the Flesh Sect and the Mechanical God Sect, the members of the Phantom Crow Society weren’t particularly close. They only gathered to exchange Knowledge and information. Therefore, even if Isaac killed Remi Gallard, he wouldn’t have to worry about a more senior member showing up for revenge.

Of course, even if their internal ties were close, that situation wouldn’t occur. After all, they were both Mad Witches.

Mad Witches...

...don’t have many friends. The older and more powerful the Mad Witch, the truer this is.

Someone like Isaac was just an exception.

Getting back to the matter at hand, as the intangible power of the Dimension World spread and the stars in the night sky dimmed one by one, two locations gradually appeared in Isaac’s mind.

Yes, two.

Isaac wasn’t surprised by this. As a veteran Mad Witch, if Remi Gallard were so easy to pin down, he wouldn’t have lived this long.

”Big Brother, it looks like we’ll have to split up. I’ve locked onto two locations. To avoid alerting the enemy, we have to act simultaneously.” Pausing for a moment and seeing no objection from Caesar, he nodded lightly. The two Dimension Apostles, Corrosion and Erosion, moved to stand behind Caesar to guide him. ”They can borrow the power of the Dimension World to some extent. If you follow them, you’ll find one of the targets, Big Brother. I’ll head for the other one.”

As he spoke, Isaac looked up at the illusory starry sky above and said with a smile, ”On top of that, there’s a pleasant surprise. Once one of us finds the guy, we can use the Dimension World to regroup quickly and kill him together!”

Caesar glanced at Corrosion and Erosion, nodded, and then he and the two of them transformed into three streaks of light—one gold, one green, and one purple—and flew off into the distance.

Watching the direction the three had departed, Isaac turned to Lorna. Lorna nodded, extended a slender, jade-white finger, and traced a line through the void. A faint ripple in Space appeared behind her.

Immediately after, a ferocious Dragon’s head slowly emerged from the spatial ripple, followed by a long neck, broad wings, a powerful chest, short forelimbs, and sturdy hind legs. Its crimson scales shone brilliantly under the blazing sun. It was clearly a High-level Sub-Dragon: a Flying Winged Fire Dragon!

Looking at the powerful Flying Winged Fire Dragon, Isaac nodded in satisfaction. He then transformed into a streak of light and merged into the body of the Flying Winged Fire Dragon, hiding himself. Meanwhile, Shushu leaped from Isaac’s shoulder to Lorna’s.

During this time, it wasn’t just Isaac who had improved; Lorna had also made immense progress.

Although Lorna herself didn’t have a strong desire to learn Knowledge—to the point that Isaac had created a special Privilege Magic just for her studies—the results were still not ideal. Lorna had only managed to patch up some gaps in her basic knowledge and failed to advance any further in that area.

But...

...this didn’t mean she hadn’t grown at all. On the contrary, her growth was enormous!

Because Lorna was not a Wizard. Her growth didn’t depend on learning new Knowledge. She only needed to properly tap into her own Witch Bloodline to continuously increase her power and acquire new Magic.

Witches were just that ridiculously powerful!

Tapping into the Witch Bloodline was influenced by many factors. Age, experience, precious resources, and even one’s mindset could all help a Witch unlock the power of her bloodline.

And aside from age, Lorna could receive tremendous help with all of these from Isaac!

Especially resources and mindset!

There was no need to elaborate on resources. Although Isaac had a money-devouring Floating City to build and the massive Wizard Organization Mad Heart clamoring to be fed, it didn’t mean he would neglect those close to him.

After all, saving those few resources wouldn’t be much help in building his Floating City, so the resources Lorna received were still quite abundant.

Furthermore, Isaac’s pace of advancement almost never slowed. Even after reaching the level of a High-level Mage, he continued to sprint madly down this path. This made Lorna, who wholeheartedly wanted to help Isaac, feel increasingly powerless.

As a result, the desire to become stronger grew even more intense in her heart!

Finally, under the influence of various factors, Lorna successfully advanced to become a High-level Witch. Not only did her Magic Power increase exponentially, but she also awakened several powerful new types of Magic.

The biggest change was that she could now maintain the Summoning of a Tier Three Giant Dragon for an extended period!

Moreover, she could also maintain the Summoning of a Pure-blooded Giant Dragon for an extended period!

However, in battle, Lorna usually only summoned Tier Three Sub-Dragons. As for Pure-blooded Giant Dragons, while they were stronger, Tier Three was merely their starting point, whereas for many Sub-Dragons, it was their final destination!

At the same Tier Three, the difference in their power wasn’t actually that great, but when it came to combat experience, the gap was as wide as the sea.

Take this Flying Winged Fire Dragon, for example. The countless scars on its red scales all told tales of the bloody battles it had fought in the past.

Of course, aside from these ”pets” that she could summon for long periods, just like when she was Tier Two, the Tier Three Lorna also had an ultimate move to summon a High Tier Giant Dragon!

And the tier of the summoned Giant Dragon was determined by Lorna’s own circumstances. Starting from Tier Four, the more dangerous her situation, the more powerful the summoned Giant Dragon would be!

According to Isaac’s rough calculations, in a place like the Star Sea, the High Tier Giant Dragon she summoned would be Tier Five at the very least!

In the most dangerous moments, she could even summon a Giant Dragon Demigod!

This was also the reason why Isaac had brought the newly promoted Lorna on this trip, instead of the more combat-experienced Liu Li.

Simply because in the face of absolute stats, technique is useless.

And Witches weren’t as simple as mere stat monsters. Beyond their stats, they also possessed absurdly powerful mechanics!

This was also one of the reasons why witch hunts had occurred throughout history...

Getting back to the matter at hand, during the operation in the Star Sea, both Isaac and Caesar had to avoid fighting as much as possible. Otherwise, Remi might detect their actions in advance, causing the entire mission to fail.

This was highly likely to happen, because Remi’s Mad Witch Trait was ”Miracle.”

And miracles, by their very nature, are incredible!

Forget about them fighting and causing the mission to fail; even if they didn’t fight and perfectly executed every step of the pursuit plan, there was still a chance of failure. Because what stood between them and Remi was a Miracle!

Of course, it wasn’t that absolute.

It was as the saying goes: the Mysterious will yield to a higher form of the Mysterious!

Before this operation, Isaac had performed over ten Evil God trading rituals. Even if he hadn’t intentionally pursued the Mysterious, the level of the Mysterious he had accumulated was bound to be significant.

Besides, as a Divine Favored, Caesar also possessed a considerably high level of the Mysterious.

All in all, he could be killed!
