Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2770: 567: Armor Unsealed, Blood Battle Against the Horde of Demons!

The Lava Dragon let out a pained wail and plummeted from the sky after the arrows struck its abdomen. Although its Level 9 Giant Dragon physique prevented instant death, its fighting capacity was failing fast. Its life would be in jeopardy without immediate rest and recuperation.

"Father!"

Alexandra’s pupils contracted; she had never imagined that her formidable father would one day be so grievously wounded.

Enduring the agony, the Lava Dragon whispered:

"I am alright. You must all exit through the teleportation portal immediately. I cannot hold this position any longer; it appears the demons have been targeting me for a long time."

While members of the Dragon Clan typically disregarded their young, the dragon had felt a profound sense of pride watching its daughter’s growth over the last two millennia. Perhaps this child would one day reach a realm of Cultivation comparable to its own.

Elsie spoke with a heavy heart:

"Alexandra, we must retreat. The survival of the Sect is more important. Our numbers mean nothing here; the Level 9 Chasm is a gap that the dragon descendant priory cannot bridge through quantity alone."

The Sky Dragon Wizard added his roar to the command:

"Fall back, fall back now! The primordial soul wizard and I shall provide cover!"

The momentum of the battle, which had briefly shifted in their favor, crashed once more. In such an all-out war, the variables were simply too numerous to calculate. Even if Nora emerged victorious, the toll in lives would be devastating.

Alexandra moved quickly to lead the group under cover toward the teleportation portal. She leaned in to whisper a final instruction to her father: "Once we have withdrawn, you must find your own path to escape."

"Have no fear, I am a giant dragon who has survived for tens of thousands of years."

The shadow demon transformed into a bolt of black lightning, rushing to exploit the Melt Mountain Dragon’s vulnerability and finish it off. Slaying a Level 9 Giant Dragon would make this entire campaign immensely profitable!

However, the Melt Mountain Dragon’s physical form suddenly turned translucent and vanished right before its eyes. Alexandra, Elsie, and the rest of the dragon descendant priory disappeared along with it.

When the group opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a breathtaking landscape of red and black, a world unlike any they had ever seen.

"The Nightmare World?"

"It is. It seems the Dusk Palace Master has rescued us." The Melt Mountain Dragon temporarily staunched its gruesome wounds, its voice filled with the relief of a survivor.

Elsie, Alexandra, and the Sky Dragon Wizard—none of the members of the priory could stop their hearts from racing.

Exactly what level of power and what realm of Cultivation did the Dusk Palace Master possess?

To enter the Nightmare World was no small feat; most of them would never have encountered this most enigmatic region of the Four Great Giants in their entire lives. Amidst the shifting clouds of the crimson sky, a massive face manifested. It was Levi.

"Rest here for the moment. I shall release you all later."

As the giant face faded, the group collapsed to the ground in exhaustion.

"Thank the heavens, we truly made it out alive."

"Damn it, a moment ago I felt as though half my soul had already crossed into Hell."

"Being near the Dusk Palace Master brings such a sense of security. Perhaps we should relocate the dragon descendant priory to the Ancient Dragon Continent..."

"That sounds like a viable plan!"

"I concur!"

...

What happened to the giant dragon? How could it simply vanish into thin air?

The shadow demon hung frozen in the air until a sudden sense of peril approached from behind. Instinctively, it manifested a shadow dagger and slashed at the incoming threat. There was a sound of clashing metal, but the blade felt as though it had been driven into thick rubber or stuck in heavy mud.

A golden fist clamped down on the dagger. Reflected in Levi’s eyes was the shadow demon’s terrified expression and its shivering frame.

"Dusk Palace Master..."

The demon instantly dissolved into a shadow, desperate to flee. Levi threw a punch that seemed to shatter the void itself. Utilizing his shadow holy body and the power of the Invisible Sanctuary, he moved with the speed of teleportation, appearing directly in front of the demon within the Shadow Dimension.

"Your flight is a bit sluggish..."

The demon shrieked in pure terror, "How can you possibly keep up with me?"

It refused to believe it could be intercepted even after retreating into the shadow realm!

It flickered, diving through the darkness in a random direction to escape, only to see a black radiance standing in its path, sword in hand.

"Escape is impossible."

The shadow demon’s scalp crawled with dread. The evasive maneuvers it had used to survive countless encounters with powerful enemies were now utterly useless.

Was this man truly omnipotent? Could he traverse any distance?

In a frenzy, the shadow demon drew its bow and nocked arrows, burning its Origin Demon Qi to unleash a torrential rain of projectiles that blotted out the sky as they flew toward Levi.

However, Levi erupted with a brilliant golden light that neutralized every attack. He teleported instantly, gripping the shadow demon’s head and crushing it. Though the demon attempted to scatter into multiple shadows to flee, it was met by the Nine Suns Suspended in the Sky. Crimson flames brought light to the gray world, consigning the shadow demon to its final end.

A torrent of flesh and essence surged into the Blood Battle Armor, and Levi felt as though a mental seal had been broken. The majestic, terrifying armor within his body buzzed and disintegrated into billions of particles. These specks flowed through his blood, reaching every cell and every true form phantom within his divine palaces, coating them in blood-red plating.

This supreme artifact had finally fused with Levi, becoming an extension of his own life and body, as easy to command as his own arms.

With a mere thought, Levi’s blood surged over his skin, forming a sharp, angular set of full-body armor that resembled a crimson dragon.

[Blood Battle:

1. Bath Blood: When engaged in combat with demons and drenched in demon blood, all primary attributes (strength, defense, physique, endurance, perception, speed, spirit) are boosted by 50%, fading once combat ends. This enhancement scales with the equipment level. Special Note: The forced elevation of spiritual force may cause temporary instability in the Dantian or spiritual realm; therefore, the spirit enhancement can be toggled off to focus solely on the other six attributes during non-critical situations.]
