Wizard: Scamming a Demon God

Chapter 255: Chapter 199: Caesar VS Isaac! This is Seriously Tier 2?

"Thunder Dragon Slash!"

Some time had passed since Isaac’s last battle. Although they still hadn’t figured out the specific Authority he had used to develop his Privilege Magic, they had long since begun researching countermeasures.

What Caesar was using now was one of them.

It was the method Knights used most often and were best at: no matter how exquisite your Magic, I will shatter it with pure force!

Whether it was Privilege Magic or Authority Magic, they were fundamentally just techniques that required Magic Power to be sustained. Therefore, no matter how intricate, they all had a threshold!

A threshold that could be broken!

This was especially true for Defense Magic, whose thresholds were of two types: quantity and quality.

Therefore, after restricting Isaac, Caesar first sent a tide of Thunder Sword Qi surging toward him, followed by a thunder dragon that bit at him. He had covered both quantity and quality.

"Interesting~"

Isaac smiled faintly. The Demon Eye on his forehead bloomed with an eerie Radiance. He brought his hands together before his chest, then spread them wide, and uttered a low command, "Disperse!"

"WHOOSH!!!"

In an instant, the countless violent thunderbolts transformed into a sky full of colorful butterflies, dancing freely!

Even the thunderbolts coiling around Caesar’s own body transformed into butterflies and scattered!

Caesar’s pupils shrank. Shocked, he hastily retreated. Isaac, however, watched with curiosity as the butterflies filling the sky slowly dissolved back into thunder and dissipated.

It was Isaac’s first time using the Authority of Illusion and Reality, and he found it rather... interesting.

But in contrast to Isaac’s casual ease, Caesar’s expression was far more solemn. His thunderbolts were not ordinary Elements, but manifestations of his Authority. He had considered that Isaac might block or dodge them, but he never imagined that Isaac could actually neutralize them completely!

"That’s... an Authority, isn’t it?" Gaia’s gaze was also extremely solemn as he watched the butterflies slowly dissipating.

"Yes," Cheryl nodded. "And it’s an Authority he has an extremely high degree of control over!"

"It came from an Outer God?"

"Yes."

Gaia fell silent.

Meanwhile, once the novelty wore off, Isaac saw that Caesar was hesitating to attack. He smiled faintly and gestured. The Radiance of his Demon Eye flickered, and hundreds of illusory Magic Arrays unfolded from all directions, trapping Caesar firmly within.

Then, infinite Magic Power surged madly from his body, solidifying the illusory Magic Arrays in an instant. The next moment...

Hundreds of Magic Cannons fired at Caesar all at once!

"Break!"

Caesar let out a low cry. A golden effigy expanded from within him, instantly enveloping him and blocking all the attacks.

However, Caesar knew that using his Divine Form against Isaac would only put him at a disadvantage. Although the Divine Form’s defense was formidable, it was simply too large.

To a "turret" like Isaac, that size made him a sitting duck. The Tier Three Divine Form was actually quite a useless power; only at Tier Four did it begin to show some of its might.

So, after blocking the Magic Cannon attacks, Caesar instantly dismissed his Divine Form. Thunder crackled around his body, a golden light appeared in his eyes, and then...

"BOOM!"

Caesar’s aura instantly skyrocketed!

Wielding his longsword, he instantly closed the distance and appeared before Isaac!

Isaac’s pupils shrank. His intuition told him that the Desperate Rabbit could not block this attack!

Because in that instant, Caesar’s life aura had swelled to the peak of Tier Three!

Moreover, the auras of two additional Authorities had instantly appeared on him!

"Disperse!"

As his thoughts raced, the Demon Eye on Isaac’s forehead released an even more dazzling, eerie light. The power of the Authority of Illusion and Reality activated once more. But this time, Caesar was charging directly at him with his sword, so the one to turn from real to illusory was...

Isaac himself!

Unsurprisingly, the menacing charge of Caesar and his longsword passed straight through Isaac’s figure.

At the same time, Isaac’s Privilege Magic, Electromagnetic Flow, used the power of Void Transformation to break free from Caesar’s influence. He instantly transformed into a current of electricity and fled, putting significant distance between them!

Immediately after, the instant Isaac solidified, he pointed a finger, and three full-power Heavy Pressure Hells shot toward Caesar!

In that split second, Isaac already understood what the second Authority Caesar had obtained was.

[Eight Virtues]!

Also known as [Knight], and also known as... [Royal Authority]!

[Eight Virtues] was a conceptual Authority, originally born from the eight virtues of knights. At first, it was just a very ordinary Authority, a symbol of Nobility.

But with the emergence of the Extraordinary Profession—Knight—the Eight Virtues that originally belonged to the knights of the noble class were also applied to the Extraordinary Profession of Knight.

Although many Knights didn’t actually possess this thing...

But in the Extraordinary World, only power talks!

A powerful expert used absolute strength to forcibly associate the concept of [Eight Virtues] with the Knight profession, and so the connection was made.

Afterward, with the powerful rise of the God of Knights, the power of this Authority reached a new level, and the world gave it a name that better suited its power—Royal Authority!

Thus, the [Eight Virtues] Authority has many abilities. First is its original ability: as long as you possess any of the Eight Virtues, your Ability Values will be greatly enhanced. And now, this ability has been strengthened even further: as long as your enemy possesses any of the Eight Virtues, they will be unable to inflict any harm upon you!

Of course, the reverse is also true.

Next are a series of derived powers. For example, after being linked to the Extraordinary Profession of Knight, [Eight Virtues] can greatly increase a Knight’s cultivation speed. Although it can’t compare to the heaven-defying effect of [Boundless], which removes all bottlenecks, it still far surpasses that of an ordinary Knight.

But the most heaven-defying aspect of this Authority is the power forcibly added to it after the rise of the God of Knights!

[Eight Virtues], also known as [Royal Authority]: A Knight holding this Authority, upon activating it, will gain the power of the subjects they rule!

Be it combat experience or Combat Techniques, Magic or Magic Power, or even Authorities!

The higher their development of [Eight Virtues], the more powers they can acquire simultaneously!

And now, Caesar had shockingly acquired the powers of his father, Gaia, and his older sister, Cheryl, all at once. That was why his power had leaped to the peak of Tier Three!

He even gained two additional Authorities.

It was a good thing that Wizards fight with their brains. Even if Caesar obtained his sister’s Magic and Magic Power through the Authority, it wouldn’t be so easy for him to master their use. Otherwise, Isaac might have actually lost this fight.

But now, it was nothing to worry about.

Because, by using the Authority of Illusion and Reality twice in conjunction with his [Analysis] Authority, Isaac had already figured out the basics of how this new Authority worked.

Therefore, after using the three full-power Heavy Pressure Hells to briefly restrain the powered-up Caesar, Isaac once again extended his index finger and pointed. The Demon Eye on his forehead simultaneously bloomed with an eerie light.

"Expelliarmus!"

Following Isaac’s slightly mischievous incantation, the longsword in Caesar’s hand and his Thunder Armor instantly vanished. Along with them, his immensely powerful strength also dissipated!

The core power of the Authority of Illusion and Reality was the ability to control what was real and what was illusory. Its most superficial and direct application was the conversion between reality and illusion. Besides defense, it could also be used for offense!

Under the might of the Authority of Illusion and Reality, with just a single point of his finger, all of Caesar’s power—be it his Battle Qi, his Authorities, or even the robust body that Knights prided themselves on—was turned to nothingness in an instant!

Although with Isaac’s current power, this effect could only be maintained for 0.5 seconds, in the midst of battle, that brief half-second was enough to decide the outcome!

Clearly, Caesar also understood this. So even though his power quickly returned, he didn’t make another move, because the victor had already been decided.

Caesar looked at Isaac with gratification, placed his hands on his hips, and said with a smile, "I never expected you to become so powerful. Perhaps in the future, we’ll have to rely on you for protection."

"You’re exaggerating." Isaac dispersed all his power and shrugged, not a hint of pride on his face. "It’s just borrowed power. At the end of the day, I’m only a Tier Two Mage. The gap between us is still enormous."

Unfortunately, as soon as Isaac said this, the gratified expressions on the faces of the three—who had been pleased by his lack of arrogance—instantly froze. It was only then that they realized something terrifying...

’This is a fucking Tier Two?’
