Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2812: 574: Please, Baby, Kill! Battle at Level-10 Again!

The Energy Sect is protected by seven legendary clan-guarding artifacts: the Cang Mountain Boxing Gloves, the Vermilion Bird Magic Sword, the Breeze Flute, the Azure Sea Spirit Flute, the Ice Soul Cold Spear, the God-Slaying Flying Saber, and the Five Thunder Mysterious Robe. These treasures are entrusted to the various faction leaders; should a leader fall, the artifact is designed to return to its origin automatically, ensuring it never falls into enemy hands.

Known as "Quasi Celestial Spirit Treasures," these items possess the potential for further evolution. They were crafted from the original Seven Treasures Gourd produced by the Mystic Sky Spirit Tree and retain a distinct spirituality. Although the chance of them evolving into true Mystic Sky Treasures—on par with the universe's ultimate artifacts—is slim, hope remains if the Energy Sect can eventually migrate to a more suitable universe.

...

Located within the Golden Star Sword Tower in Gondor City.

Lord Victor clutched the gourd, chanting a specific mantra.

"Please, precious, kill someone."

Minutes passed in silence, but nothing happened.

"As I suspected, the 'God-Slaying Flying Saber' requires a specific target to be triggered. I shall test its power in the Nightmare World."

With a mere thought, Lord Victor transported himself to the Chaotic Wilderness on the outskirts of the Black Dragon Territory. After a brief hunt, he detected a fifth-level Nightmare creature and fixed his gaze upon it.

"Please, precious, kill someone."

Swoosh!

A streak of golden light, nearly invisible to the eye, flashed forward. It decapitated the Nightmare creature from eight thousand miles away in an instant before retreating back into the gourd.

Despite being an eighth-ring senior realm expert, Lord Victor couldn't even track the object's movement; its velocity appeared to surpass even his own secret sword.

"I suspect even a level 9 entity would hesitate to face this saber head-on."

Overtaken by excitement, Lord Victor prepared to depart. However, as he turned, he realized he was trapped within a blind alley. A freezing premonition of doom washed over him, prompting him to immediately detonate his avatar and log off.

Simultaneously, within the Black Dragon Territory.

Levi, the black-armored swordsman, manifested in the void.

He was surrounded by a collection of live demons he had hunted. Their only purpose was to serve as sacrifices for Levi to activate the 'Bath Blood' Special Effect of his supreme treasure.

Utilizing his Deep Red Eyes, he sensed the approaching threat. Upon seeing the labyrinthine alleyways manifesting, he understood that the Ghost Alley Monarch had arrived.

Across the Black Dragon Territory, various figures hurriedly logged off, leaving Levi as the sole occupant. He sat cross-legged atop mountains of flesh and bone, his shark-tooth sword humming with vibration at his side.

In recent years, following the progression of the Golden Emperor Dragon and Crimson Emperor Dragon, his Black Emperor Dragon Breathing Technique had reached the middle stage of level 9. He had successfully mastered a fourfold Invisible Sanctuary. His Indomitable Sacred Domain was at the third level, while both the Undying Holy Domain and Unhidden Sacred Realm had reached the second realm.

His spiritual force had quietly climbed to 60,000 points. With the 50% enhancement from his Blood Battle Armor, it could peak at 90,000. For context, the ceiling for a Ninth-Circle Wizard is 70,000 points, whereas a Legendary Wizard starts at a minimum of 100,000.

His primary ninth-circle combat spells—"Nine Suns Suspended in the Sky," "All Creation Thunder," "Long Whale Suppressing the Sea," "Primordial Magnetic Giant Soldier," "Light Giant," and "Decomposition Technique"—had all been refined to the absolute peak of the twenty-first rank.

Furthermore, his "Extreme Dao Strategy" technique had long since reached its zenith, forming the "Extreme Species" and marking the pinnacle of his technical path.

Equipped with the "Blood Battle Armor" and "Blood Battle Spirit," his combat prowess had already moved past the peak of level 9 and was drawing dangerously close to level 10.

Since the Blood Battle began, no level 9 demon had been able to withstand him; only level 10 entities posed a threat. He had lacked a challenging opponent for a significant amount of time.

That was why he came here today.

He intended to measure the gap between himself and a true level 10 powerhouse.

Intelligence from the Nightmare Command Center indicated that the Ghost Alley Dominator was only at the early stage of level 10, perhaps slightly superior to Isolde but not by a wide margin.

Within the Nightmare World, Levi felt capable of fighting above his level, provided he didn't encounter a monster as terrifying as the Lost Monarch.

In any case, his physical body remained safe in Nora, making him essentially immortal here.

The Ghost Alley Dominator stared at the deserted Black Dragon Territory and the defiant black-armored swordsman, his expression darkening.

"It appears you anticipated my arrival."

"That is correct."

"Then why have you not fled?"

"You lack the power to kill me, so why should I run?"

"How arrogant. You certainly live up to your reputation. Are there other Legendary Wizards hiding in the shadows? Tell them to show themselves."

"There are no others. This is a duel between the two of us. Who do you think you are? Nora wouldn't waste its legends on someone like you."

Dismissing Levi’s insults, the beautiful youth closed his eyes to scan the area. Confirming that only Levi was present, he concluded there was no ambush.

"Very well, I shall test the strength of Nora's Supernova King!"

With a flick of his wrist, massive black walls erupted from the earth, spanning tens of thousands of miles. They demolished the Flesh and Blood Mountains Levi had built, causing gore to spray everywhere.

Levi gripped his longsword, his Invisible Sanctuary flaring as he moved at the speed of light. He appeared instantly before the youth, unleashing his full strength. His fivefold Destruction Sanctuary turned the Crimson Dragon Slash white-hot as Crimson Dragon Sword Qi exploded outward!

Slash!

The blow, which would have obliterated any level 9 demon, was caught by the youth's bare hand. His pale skin ripped like tough leather, exposing millions of tiny, hollowed-out alleys within his body that resembled a network of capillaries.

This was the true essence of the Ghost Alley Monarch, born from the Primal fears of the dark, the hidden, and the unknown that exist in all living things.

"Your speed and might are indeed remarkable. No wonder you are so confident."

Those microscopic alleys suddenly unraveled like long strips of adhesive tape, coiling around Levi and binding him tightly like a cocoon.
