Wizard: Scamming a Demon God

Chapter 222: Chapter 177: [Analysis]! Pseudo-Omniscience

The Silver Knight was a huge surprise for Isaac. Besides its expected melee capabilities, the biggest surprise was its Mysterious Attribute—and a named one at that.

This thing was incredibly valuable!

Although the Silver Knight had come to life, it was still fundamentally a Mechanical Body and retained many of its original characteristics. For example, it didn’t need to learn Magic gradually. As long as Magic Memory Modules and Magic Emission Modules were replaced or added, it could instantly gain Casting Ability.

The number of spells it could hold depended on the memory of the Magic Memory Module. Its casting speed was originally influenced by the Magic Emission Module, but now that it was alive, it was also affected by its own innate magical talent.

But...

Secret Silver Exile, with nearly 100% Magic Power conductivity!

’This is a genuine Cannon King!’

Looking at the data panel before him, Isaac nodded in satisfaction before sighing. It was a shame. Managing personnel was just too much trouble. Otherwise, he could have used the Silver Knight as the core to build a Mage Order with overwhelming firepower.

This would be...

’Wait a second...’

Isaac stroked his chin. ’Do I really have to do it myself?’

’Couldn’t I just leave it to my brother and his people?’

’A Mage Order with such insane firepower... they’d be tempted, right? Even if it’s a product of the Outer Gods.’

’And I could rent them out as mercenaries... hmm... that’s a path to riches!’

Isaac jotted down the idea, planning to discuss it thoroughly with his brother and the others when he got back. More revenue streams were always a good thing; the only issue was the high initial investment.

After studying the Silver Knight a bit more, Isaac sent it off to practice its Combat Techniques. This was currently its greatest weakness, but it was also the greatest advantage of its Magic and Martial Dual Cultivation. Its Magic could all be downloaded; it only needed to train its martial skills.

Afterward, Isaac returned to his temporary laboratory in the castle. Looking at the pile of manuscripts on his desk, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly. ’This time, it should work, right?’

This pile of manuscripts represented the main direction of Isaac’s research during this period, and also his biggest weakness currently—Privilege Magic!

Privilege Magic is a type of special Magic that simulates Authority. Although it is not as profound as Authority Magic, which pushes the power of an Authority to its limit, it far surpasses Ordinary Magic.

Most importantly, it wasn’t as difficult to learn as Authority Magic. And because its essence is merely an imitation of an Authority, one does not need to possess the Authority to use it.

Because of this, one can even use Privilege Magic to master the corresponding Authority!

Of course, this was something only High-level Mages could accomplish.

However, Isaac wasn’t researching Privilege Magic for this reason. He didn’t lack channels to obtain Authority. What Isaac needed from Privilege Magic was its incredibly potent power!

Because of its high stats, Privilege Magic is a mainstream type of Magic even among High-level Mages. Although High-level Mages all possess Authority, they may not necessarily be able to research the corresponding Authority Magic. Without Authority Magic, most Authorities are just convenient and special abilities.

Of course, High-level Knights are an exception.

The path for them after reaching the High Tiers is to imitate either a Deity or a Demon Beast. Whether through their own formidable physical bodies or their divine effigies, they can perfectly unleash the power of their Authority.

However, they are still a notch below Authority Magic. After all, not only can Authority Magic perfectly unleash the power of an Authority, but if profoundly mastered, it can even squeeze out power that does not belong to the Authority itself!

So even when they are both Tier Three, most High-level Mages can still suppress other Transcendents. There’s nothing to be done; their stats are just that high!

Of course, as the Magic commonly used by most High-level Mages, Privilege Magic is not to be underestimated either.

And for Isaac, it was even more important. At his current Tier Two, he was basically unrivaled, regardless of his opponent’s profession, and whether it was in a one-on-one duel or a group brawl.

But facing Tier Three...

Whether it was a High-level Mage or a High-level Knight, he might not even have the ability to protect himself!

Although two thousand Great Sword Ghosts could theoretically kill one or two High-level Knights, that was just a theory. The situation was too specific; it would require a High-level Knight to lose their mind and charge head-on into two thousand Great Sword Ghosts.

’Who in their right mind would fight like that?’

’Wouldn’t a decapitation strike be better?’

’Wouldn’t guerilla tactics be better?’

So, he still felt a distinct lack of security. What he was missing was exactly this type of high-firepower Magic!

It’s just that this Privilege Magic...

Only after starting his research did Isaac finally understand how difficult this thing was!

The activation of an Authority leaves almost no trace. If you can’t even see a trace, how can you imitate it?

Its so-called simplicity was only in comparison to Authority Magic.

That’s why, after all this time researching, he only had a vague idea. His current progress wasn’t even half of a prototype, let alone a completed version.

But things were different now!

With [Analysis], his research speed would increase by a huge margin!

Isaac organized the manuscripts, then activated the [Analysis] Authority.

——Analysis of Privilege Magic · Heavy Pressure Hell, First Draft. Insufficient samples. Please collect more [Gravity] Authority medium——

——Analysis Complete——

In just an instant, a huge surge of information flooded into Isaac’s mind. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up, and his expression gradually became crazed!

’It worked!’

Of course, what worked wasn’t the Privilege Magic · Heavy Pressure Hell, but his concept for the [Analysis] Authority.

Just as he had expected, the [Analysis] Authority could indeed assist him in developing Privilege Magic, and at a speed far beyond his predictions!

He originally thought this batch of manuscripts would take a while, but he never expected the analysis to be completed in an instant.

But this ”medium”...

’That’s going to be a bit tricky.’

After the initial joy, Isaac’s brows furrowed slightly. The [Analysis] Authority was certainly excellent, and it lived up to its reputation of pseudo-Omniscience, but it was not true Omniscience. Analysis was analysis; you needed samples to perform it.

Currently, the Privilege Magic · Heavy Pressure Hell was only sixty-three percent complete. For the remaining part, Isaac needed to re-collect medium related to the [Gravity] Authority. The data he had collected before was slightly insufficient.

[Gravity]...

He looked at the manuscript before him and thought for a moment. He then rummaged through a nearby bookshelf and found two Magic Books whose data he had yet to analyze. They detailed Gravity Magic, but they were all Tier Two spells.

Magic of this level, even for Isaac, had a certain degree of difficulty to learn, let alone to study it in-depth and deconstruct it.

So, Isaac had previously set them aside, choosing to start with something simpler.

But now, the situation was different.

Looking at the Magic Book in his hands, Isaac thought, ’Analyze.’

In an instant, an invisible wave traveled from Isaac’s hands to the Magic Book. And again, in a flash, a large amount of information was returned to Isaac!

Isaac narrowed his eyes. After carefully processing this information, he had a deeper understanding of [Analysis]. This thing still couldn’t let him learn things just by allocating points like learning a Skill in a game.

Just as its name suggested, it only deconstructed all the information contained within these spells based on Isaac’s own knowledge. Beyond that, it had no other function.

The recent progress on the Privilege Magic was actually an illusion. The one who had actually advanced the Privilege Magic was still him, not the [Analysis] Authority.

It was simply because the analyzed information was so vast, comprehensive, and detailed that he absorbed it with ease and subconsciously completed the necessary deductions.

The same was true for the three Gravity Magic spells recorded in these two Magic Books. Although the [Analysis] Authority couldn’t make him learn them with a click, the incredibly detailed information still allowed him to master all three spells in an instant.

However, because the time was so short, he had only learned them. If he wanted to become more proficient or create new variations, Isaac would have to practice and research on his own.

But these were minor details. After realizing the true function of the [Analysis] Authority, Isaac couldn’t help but look at the manuscript on his desk, his eyes narrowing. ’The Privilege Magic... it should be achievable now!’

Since it was Isaac himself who was actually deducing the Privilege Magic, it meant that even with just the original information, he could deduce a more complete version!

And with the data from these three spells, he was confident that, by tonight...

Isaac suddenly turned to glance at the dusky yellow sunlight outside. ’Hmm, tonight probably won’t work. But tomorrow morning should be fine.’

This thought invigorated Isaac once again. ’Privilege Magic!’

Although having Privilege Magic didn’t guarantee he could fight a Tier Three opponent, it was at least a good start. With the assistance of the [Analysis] Authority, Heavy Pressure Hell was just the beginning of his mastery of Privilege Magic!

Besides, he wasn’t interested in some foolish notion of fighting against High Tier opponents. If you could dominate your fights, who would willingly punch above their weight?

It’s just that reality wasn’t a game. Experts wouldn’t just hang around in fixed locations. He would definitely encounter Tier Three powerhouses in the future, and he wouldn’t be as lucky as he had been these last few times.

Of course, it wasn’t all luck; it was also the result of his own careful analysis and choices.

But no matter what, having more trump cards and a higher chance of escaping from a High Level opponent was worth it!

With this thought, Isaac immediately sat down, swept aside all the other messy manuscripts on the table, and took out a fresh sheet of white paper. After organizing the information in his mind, he bent over the desk and began to continue his deductions on the Privilege Magic · Heavy Pressure Hell.

SSSHHHK~

From the back of Isaac’s neck, Harmon emerged. A scarlet eye split open in its palm. It glanced at Isaac, who was hunched over the desk, his eyes growing brighter and his grin spreading wider. It silently lit the wall sconce for him, then slipped back into Isaac’s body so as not to disturb him.

The light from the wall sconce burned all night, and Isaac wrote all night. He only stopped his pen and straightened up when the first golden ray of morning sun struck his desk, his manuscript, and his face. The corners of his mouth curved up slightly.

Privilege Magic · Heavy Pressure Hell was finally complete!
