The Wizard: Starting by Scamming the Demon God

Page 171

“…Sorry, I made a mistake…” The three-eyed goblin paused for a moment, then said in a hoarse voice.

Holy Lord: "..."

Three-eyed man: "..."

As soon as he finished apologizing, the three-eyed man prepared to reach out and tear off the tree roots. After all, although dimensional apostles wouldn't die, they would still feel pain, and the tree roots were attached to their backs, which would greatly affect their combat.

"Pfft!"

However, before the three-eyed man could make a move, he felt the tree roots inserted into his body suddenly burst open and frantically draw everything out of his body!

"asshole!"

The tree roots extracted power very quickly. In the blink of an eye, the three-eyed man was drained into a dried-up corpse and then turned into black ashes. Before he died, he only had time to turn around and glare at the three-eyed goblin.

“It’s already a mistake, so let’s just make do with it. Besides, his method of using that demonic eye was too crude.” Sensing the Holy Lord’s gaze beside him, the Three-Eyed Goblin explained in a hoarse voice.

Upon hearing this, the Holy Lord said nothing more. In any case, the dimensional apostles wouldn't die, so he let them do whatever they wanted. He then turned his attention to the strange tree roots.

"boom!"

Soon, with the supply of a large amount of magic and flesh, one after another, giant ghastly wood goblins, each over ten meters tall, rose from the ground, their eyes lifeless, and they marched mechanically toward the canyon.

"This..." The Holy Lord's pupils contracted slightly, somewhat shocked.

Although to him these giant gibbon goblins were the kind that could be killed with a single dragon breath, that doesn't mean they were weak. In fact, as a variant of goblins, they were already quite strong!

Because it has reached the second-order lower level!

And because of its large size, its actual combat strength may be even stronger.

“Goblins are far too fragile to withstand much dimensional magic, so I made some minor modifications to them.”

As they spoke, a magic wand emerged from the trunk of a towering tree. The three-eyed goblin reached out and took the wand, then waved it. The only one among the several giant ghastly goblins with three eyes—the one with three eyes—sparkled with a dazzling, jet-black light from its demonic eye between its brows. Then…

"boom!!!"

A magic cannon, comparable to a high-level second-tier weapon, fell straight into the canyon, creating a huge mushroom cloud!

Seeing the scene before him, the Holy Lord fell silent. At this moment, he deeply understood what it meant for knowledge to be power...

How could a mere goblin achieve such a feat?

Chapter 233 The Three-Eyed Goblin's Ambitions!

Soon, under the fearless attack of the dimensional apostles and the ghostly wood goblins, the canyon was quickly cleared away.

The Holy Lord glanced at the giant three-eyed goblin, and suddenly the goblin's hoarse words echoed in his mind—his method of using that demonic eye was too crude.

These words...

That's absolutely right...

The same demonic eye, given to the three-eyed goblin, is not even on its own body, but rather implanted into the body of a giant three-eyed ghastly wood goblin devoid of any self-awareness. This indirect manipulation unleashes such power...

Although that magic eye was just a very ordinary type of magic release, it didn't require much skill to operate.

But it is often precisely these extremely simple things that reveal a person's true skill.

After all, both the Three-Eyed Goblin and that guy are dimensional apostles. Theoretically, they can both mobilize an infinite amount of dimensional magic, but the Three-Eyed Goblin can mobilize more dimensional magic than that guy.

After a brief moment of reflection, the Holy Lord refocused his attention on the battlefield; the real war had only just begun.

After clearing away the nearby monsters, the Holy Lord's hand flashed with dark magical light, and an Infinite Expansion Token resembling an old parchment appeared in his hand.

The Holy Lord gently unfolded the parchment in his hand, and an invisible wave immediately spread out from the Holy Lord, quickly enveloping the entire canyon.

In an instant, the world seemed to fall silent for a moment. Almost instantly, the disordered magic in the air vanished without a trace, leaving only perfectly peaceful, normal magic in the air.

At the same time, an unseen gift fell upon Isaac, who was engrossed in his research.

On one hand, it's because the Infinite Expansion Order belongs to Isaac; on the other hand, it's also because the Holy Lord and the Dimensional Apostles who cleared this wilderness actually held power in Isaac's hands, and were his subordinates.

Naturally, this pioneering gift fell to Isaac.

This is why many kingdoms know that once pioneering nobles gain a foothold, they can easily grow stronger and cause trouble for themselves, but they have no choice because the benefits of pioneering the wilderness are too numerous, and issuing pioneering orders is the safest way to obtain the rewards of pioneering.

At least for the past few years since it was issued, it has been safe.

Of course, this does not include the Unlimited Expansion Order, which does not grant the issuer the same expansion rewards.

However, Isaac, upon receiving this gift, merely raised his head slightly, glanced thoughtfully in the direction of the Holy Lord, and then continued to study with his head down.

That piece of land is too small; it can't get him what he needs in exchange for it right now.

On the other side, the Holy Lord and his group were not complacent because of this temporary victory, because the real battle had only just begun!

The moment the chaotic magic within the canyon transformed into normal magic, the surrounding atmosphere seemed to freeze instantly, and endless malice surged forth!

This is……

The malice of the wilderness!

Amidst this boundless malice, there is also a great deal of chilling killing intent. This killing intent comes from the monsters and orcs outside the canyon. Next, they will rush in fearlessly, determined to tear the Holy Lord, who holds the Infinite Expansion Order, to shreds!

The task of the Holy Lord and his comrades is to hold firm against these waves of attacks while continuing to expand outwards and explore more wilderness!

Until it can meet Isaac's requirements.

"Jie Jie!"

The moment malice and murderous intent struck, the demonic eye between the three-eyed goblin's brows narrowed slightly. It let out another evil howl, and under its command, the creepy goblins immediately turned around and charged out of the canyon!

At the same time, dark cracks appeared around the Three-Eyed Goblin, and figures exuding eerie magic emerged from them. These were the Dimensional Apostles who had just died at the hands of monsters in the canyon.

Of course, this also includes that unfortunate guy who died at the hands of the Three-Eyed Goblin.

He emerged from the dark crack, his three eyes glaring fiercely at the three-eyed goblin, but he said nothing. Firstly, they were both immortal, so there were few ways for them to counter each other.

Secondly, he wasn't stupid. Although the Three-Eyed Goblin came from an ordinary background, he was quite diligent, especially in research. Not only did he create many strange goblins, but his abilities also earned the appreciation of the Dimensional Lord Isaac, who even bestowed upon him a weapon he had once used.

She was undoubtedly a favorite of Isaac.

Of course, the more important reason is...

Can't beat...

So he just glared at the three-eyed goblin and left quickly, not daring to stay.

He was afraid that the Three-Eyed Goblin would use him as material to create the Giant Three-Eyed Wood Goblin again. He had no doubt that the Three-Eyed Goblin was capable of doing such a thing, and he also believed that His Majesty the Lord of Dimensions would not care about such a trivial matter.

Even if they knew, they would only praise the Three-Eyed Goblin for doing a good job, because although they didn't want to admit it, the demonic eye on his forehead was indeed more useful in the hands of the Three-Eyed Goblin...

In this situation, his immortality actually makes him an excellent consumable!

So he left in a very hurry.

The three-eyed goblin looked in the direction the three-eyed giant had left and sighed regretfully. To be honest, it had indeed considered that idea, but it had only considered it and had not actually taken action.

Because the Three-Eyed Goblin also has ambitions!

It was not content to remain a dimensional apostle forever!

Otherwise, he wouldn't be working so hard on his research, all for the sake of one day gaining the favor of His Majesty Isaac, the Lord of Dimensions, and being able to stay by his side forever!

Just like...

Just like that rat!

Therefore, although sacrificing the three-eyed human would grant it greater combat power, it would not do so.

Because the Three-Eyed Goblin knew very well that His Majesty the Lord of Dimensions hated this kind of behavior, even though the Dimensional Apostles would not die as a result, and even though he himself would not care about their lives when he commanded them.

However, the dimensional apostles killing each other without any moral compass is definitely not what His Majesty the Dimensional Lord likes.

So, faced with the onslaught of numerous monsters outside the canyon, the Three-Eyed Goblin remained silent, only relentlessly channeling its magic power, overloading the magic eye between its brows, constantly summoning goblins from all over the world, and at the moment of their arrival, infusing them with a large amount of dimensional magic power and the life essence absorbed by towering trees, greatly enhancing their power at the cost of consuming their lifespan.

This kind of consumption is not the kind that consumes sixty seconds of lifespan every minute, but rather it is the direct overdraft of several years of lifespan, exchanging powerful combat strength for only a dozen minutes of survival!

The Holy Lord's eyes twitched slightly as he watched the goblins constantly emerging from the spatial fluctuations. As soon as these goblins appeared, they went from being skinny and weak, as if they could be blown down by the wind, to being like balloons, instantly swelling from dwarfs less than a meter tall into muscular brutes over two meters tall in a very short time!

His massive muscles resembled tumors, and he exuded an aura of madness!

Sometimes, even he had to admire that the three-eyed goblin was truly a genius. He was a natural expert in researching life mutations and was able to strengthen an unranked goblin to the point of being almost at the second rank. With the help of the magic wand Silver Moon Vine, it could even reach the second rank!

You know, that's a second-tier one!

That's a height that 99.99% of goblins can never reach in their entire lives!

This level of biological mutation and modification is not something an ordinary person can do. Even his master, Isaac, might not be able to do it, because the goblin's foundation is just too poor.

Many life transformations are based on overdrawing potential, and the prerequisite for overdrawing is that you must have potential.

Goblins have absolutely no potential!

Of course, the Three-Eyed Goblin's actions also took advantage of the special nature of dimensional magic, but the fact that it could utilize this special nature already speaks volumes.

As a professional demon thief, the Holy Lord has a lot to say on this matter.

Unfortunately, the three-eyed goblin's appearance is just...

It's a long story...

She was already ugly, but with an incredibly eerie and evil deep green demonic eye staring between her eyebrows, she became even uglier.

Otherwise, given its research-oriented nature and talent, it might have been able to stay by Isaac's side for a long time, and its status might even be higher than his.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs".

Thinking about it, the Holy Lord couldn't help but raise his head and hum softly.

Being handsome lasts a lifetime.

"Roar!"

Just as the Holy Lord was feeling smug, a roar suddenly came from not far away, and the oppressive aura of a high-level demon instantly swept over, causing everyone's attacks to pause involuntarily!

The three-eyed goblin couldn't help but look up at the Holy Lord beside him. High-level demons were beyond the scope of what their dimensional apostles could handle; it was up to this one to take action.

He came along, but not just to serve as a figurehead for the Unlimited Expansion Order.

The Holy Lord naturally understood this principle, but at this moment he was in a very bad mood. How dare this worthless wretch, who had no will of his own, ruin his good mood!

"Roar!!!"

Faced with the roar of the unknown high-level demon, the Holy Lord naturally roared back, and then suddenly transformed amidst the roar!
