Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2771: 567: Armor Unleashed, Blood Battle Against the Horde!

Previously on Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method...
The Lava Dragon was gravely injured by arrows, prompting Alexandra and others to retreat through a teleportation portal, but the dragon disappeared before the shadow demon could finish it. They found themselves in the Nightmare World, saved by Levi, who then pursued the shadow demon. Levi cornered and destroyed the demon, then fully integrated the Blood Battle Armor, gaining its powerful demon-blood-activated effects.

2. Berserker:

Equipping the Blood Battle Armor triggers an automatic provocation, drawing the focus of every demon within a hundred thousand miles. These creatures will be driven into a frenzy, seeking only to slaughter the wearer. As the equipment level rises, the potency of this unique effect will intensify accordingly.

3. Devour:

Any demon consumed by the Blood Battle Armor serves as fuel for the [Blood Battle Spirit] residing within. This spirit’s power scales upward as more demons are devoured, possessing no theoretical ceiling! Nevertheless, its major realm is restricted by that of the armor’s master. The wearer can manifest the [Blood Battle Spirit] to aid in combat. So long as the master remains alive, the Blood Battle Spirit is immortal. Even if struck down, it can be resurrected instantly and infinitely, provided the armor maintains sufficient energy reserves!

4. Growth:

Despite being a supreme treasure, the Blood Battle Armor retains the capacity for evolution. Its core components include the [Blood River Divine Stone], a divine artifact of the Blood Sect, and the [Demon Abyss Divine Stone], which was forged from eighty-one level 9 abyss cores and nine level-10 abyss cores. Consequently, by feeding on demonic entities, this supreme treasure can continue to advance, with the theoretical potential to surpass level-10 and transform into a [Cosmic Level Treasure].

5. Sealing:

Certain special effects of this supreme treasure remain locked. To break the seal and reach the Complete Body state, the wearer must successfully hunt a level-10 demon.]

The detailed breakdown of these special effects provides a wealth of insight.

The primary effect is truly heaven-defying. Specifically, the 50% boost to spiritual power ascension is staggering. To Levi, the other enhancements to the basic six dimensions are secondary. Most Wizards who sacrifice their Spiritual Origin for ascension typically only see a 30% increase—such as with the eight-circle magic spell "Brain Burning" that he had acquired. Such spells carry heavy penalties, requiring rare treasures and lengthy recovery periods to heal the soul. Frequent use can cause permanent damage to the Spiritual Origin, leading to a regression in realm or even death.

In contrast, the Blood Battle Armor grants a 50% increase at the cost of mere temporary spiritual instability. This means it can be used sporadically without risking the Spiritual Origin. With Levi’s current spiritual foundations, this ascension pushes his power beyond the limits of the ninth-circle immediately.

The potency of any spell is determined by three factors: the realm of spiritual power, the level of proficiency, and the amplification provided by talent or Truth Oddities.

Consequently, while wearing the Blood Battle Armor, the power of his ninth-circle spells should land somewhere between the ninth-circle and the legendary rank. As he approaches nine rings perfection, his strength might even graze the threshold of level-10.

The second effect, Berserker, is also a divine-tier skill; effectively, it functions as a "Monster Magnet."

With this active, Levi no longer needs to track down demons. The Blood Battle Armor will compel them to come to him. This makes it incredibly efficient for Levi to harvest experience points and level up the Shadow Army at a rapid pace.

Furthermore, this rare treasure seems connected to the Blood River Will. The mention of the [Blood River Divine Stone] reminded Levi of the [Netherworld Mother Stone]. The Black Abyss Sovereign had mentioned that the Blood River was severely damaged by Sauron. While it survived, its power was gutted—likely because this precious [Blood River Divine Stone] was extracted from it.

If not for that, how could the rising Black Abyss Sovereign hope to challenge an ancient entity that had persisted for so long? It was highly probable that Sauron refined the [Demon Abyss Divine Stone] during his expeditions into the Abyss.

Given the sheer volume of high-grade materials used in its creation, Levi estimated that once the seals were fully removed, the armor would rank among the top ten treasures in the Pan-Plane. However, slaying a level-10 demon was a tall order for now; he needed more time.

But that day wasn't far off. His previous clash with Yinuerde had bolstered his confidence. Once his breathing technique reached the late stage of level 9 and his Wizard Cultivation hit nine rings perfection, he would test his mettle against an Abyss demon from the top 200 layers.

According to Sauron's hierarchy, the [Cosmic Level Treasure] sits above the supreme treasure—a tier of equipment reserved for supreme-level entities. The prospect of the Blood Battle Armor evolving into such a relic filled Levi with excitement.

Finally, he turned his attention to the feature that interested him most.

With a sudden hum, the blood armor began to vibrate violently. A sinister crimson mist bled from the armor's surface, billowing into the sky. The vapor condensed into a blood-red figure that mirrored Levi's own appearance, radiating an aura at the level 9 late stage—one minor realm above Levi himself. This was the ultimate divine skill of the Blood Battle Armor.

While the entity could not surpass Levi by a full major realm, it could grow stronger without limit by devouring demons, narrowing the gap between level 9 and level-10. It was essentially a second Levi, a combat-focused double that could theoretically slay weaker gods.

Naturally, it would require a massive amount of demonic sustenance. Simply put, Levi now possessed a mindless, purely martial mechanical clone designed for nothing but slaughter!

Eager to test its capabilities, he stepped out into the world.

Nearby, a figure of golden light and another of rainbow light were pinning down a level 9 middle stage Wind Demon—it was the Rainbow Sword Master and Earth Awakening. Together, they held the advantage, but finishing the Wind Demon quickly was proving difficult.

"Both of you, stand down," Levi commanded calmly.

The Rainbow Sword Master and Earth Awakening obeyed instantly, retreating to Levi's side. The Wind Demon, sensing a chance to escape, turned to flee.

Boom!

A terrifying wave of blood-colored Sword Qi erupted, swallowing the Wind Demon whole. The crimson knight plummeted from the sky, dragging a vast Blood Sea behind it. Within that sea, the spirits of every demon previously consumed by the armor manifested as howling, malevolent ghosts.

Individualy, they were weak—nowhere near the level of Levi’s Shadow Dragon Group—but their numbers were overwhelming. Like the Blood Battle Spirit, they were undying as long as Levi lived, reforming instantly within the Blood Sea. The energy for this came from the Demon Crystal Cores and flesh the armor had already processed.

In a mere ten breaths, the Wind Demon was torn apart by the Blood Battle Spirit. The Blood Sea brought the remains back to Levi, where Leon rode forward to claim the soul for consumption.

"Truly formidable. Even a Nine-Ring Perfect Wizard would struggle against it... This armor is sufficient for now. I'll let Leon have his fill first, and the Blood Battle Spirit can have the leftovers. Once we enter the Abyss, it can feast as much as it likes!"

Levi had previously thought his hoard of demon materials was vast, but the arrival of the Blood Battle Armor had suddenly made his resources seem scarce.

Driven by the [Berserker] effect, demons began to crawl out from every corner, their eyes glowing red as they lunged toward Levi. Standing back-to-back with his Blood Battle Spirit, Levi let out a cold, predatory smile.

"Let the slaughter begin!"
