Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2815: 575: Arcane Throne, The Legendary Gargamel!

The Devouring Sky Demon Lord chuckled and spoke, "Apologies for disturbing your slumber, Great Dragon of Imagination, Spirit Dominator... Mr. Helmont."

As the dragon’s eyes drew closer, the surrounding mist began to churn. A golden giant dragon, possessing a form as massive as a range of golden mountains, materialized with great elegance.

This was one of the five legendary dragon species: the Mind Dragon!

Every legendary dragon possesses the innate potential to reach at least the late stage of level 10. In contrast, the previous Rainbow Dragon had only reached the early stage of level 10, having been completely drained by the succubus queen.

Had it not been for that, its natural aptitude would have allowed it to safely reach the peak of maturity. Given its unmatched speed, no being in the Multidimensional Plane below level 11 would have been capable of killing it.

Truly, the taste of a succubus queen is not a luxury that just anyone can easily survive.

"I do not wish to participate in your endeavors."

Already perceiving their true intent, the Spirit Monarch gave a blunt response.

"Why?" the Devouring Sky Demon Lord inquired.

The giant dragon replied softly, "No particular reason, I just don’t want to."

The Rotten Sovereign countered, "Don’t forget, you are now also a Nightmare Monarch. Do you also wish to learn from the Despair Sovereign and settle in Nora?"

The golden dragon’s eyes narrowed slightly at those words, radiating a lethal aura. It fixed its gaze upon the decaying figure, speaking with a gentlemanly yet sharp tone:

"Mr. Rand, since this is your first offense against me, I can offer you forgiveness. If there is a next time, I will ensure you vanish within this fog."

The Devouring Sky Demon Lord shot a glare at the Rotten Sovereign before laughing:

"The Lost Monarch has already joined our cause. If you were to come, our probability of winning this battle would rise to seventy percent. By allying with a few more Level 10 late-stagers, victory would be within our grasp."

"I am weary of war. I will not participate in any conflict unless the Supreme Will personally commands it; only then will I consider the matter."

The Spirit Monarch’s statement was firm and final.

Seeing this, the Devouring Sky Demon Lord realized that further persuasion was hopeless.

"Very well, you are welcome to join us at any time."

With those words, he departed alongside the other two monarchs.

The silhouette of the golden giant dragon began to fade slowly, dissolving back into the golden mist.

A short while ago, it had been a guest at the Time Castle visiting an old friend, the Time Dragon, where it learned of the Rainbow Dragon’s ultimate fate. As a strictly neutral observer, the Time Dragon had offered no counsel.

However, with its high level of perception, the Mind Dragon naturally understood the situation.

The upcoming millennium is destined to be an era of massive upheaval and change. Beneath even the most minor wave, a dangerous vortex could be hiding.

Whether the rise of Nora proves to be a positive or negative development remains uncertain.

But in these chaotic times, it clung to a single truth:

"Better fewer affairs than more; do nothing to avoid making mistakes."

If pushed too far, it would simply depart from the Nightmare World entirely.

The only reason it was willing to serve the Red and Black Mother and oppose the gods was to utilize the massive amounts of psychic power found here for its own Cultivation.

Given its status and power, it would be a welcomed guest wherever it chose to go. In fact, its old friend from the Underworld, the Void Dragon Yiluo’er, had extended multiple invitations, hinting that the Land of Darkness might face significant changes in the future. While the Giant World might avoid total destruction, a Super Large Turbulence is unavoidable.

Historical trends show that every Super Large Turbulence Year results in hundreds of Level 10 deaths, a number equal to the total casualties of an entire Peace Era.

...

As time passed.

After Victor attained level 8, the Qi Sect appeared to have unlocked its governor and conception vessels.

Recently, Li of the Spirits Sect—one of the Four Sons of Qi Sect—became the first to reach level 8. Following that, both Hong and Chen experienced sudden enlightenment and achieved breakthroughs. Only the gentle bearman girl, Ann, remained behind, though she was very close and merely lacked a final opportunity.

The Cang Mountain Boxing Gloves, the Vermilion Bird Magic Sword, and the Breeze Flute have all found their respective masters. The Azure Sea Spirit Flute is currently being held by Saint Emperor Zhou. However, considering Ann’s current talent, her future potential far exceeds Zhou’s, making it likely that the flute will eventually be hers.

Furthermore, Naph—the daughter of the Steel Dragon Knight and known as the Silver Snake Knight—possesses incredible talent. Carrying the Cold Plum Proud Snow demeanor, she has already experienced over ten enlightenments despite being only a century old.

Currently at Level 5 in the Qi Sect, if she maintains this momentum, she may very well surpass the others to be the first to step into level 8 and claim the Ice Soul Divine Spear.

Moreover, Naph’s mastery of combat techniques, particularly her spear technique, allowed her to create the Silver Spear Secret Manual. This has marked her as a potential supernova, placing her under Levi’s close observation.

The supernova Link is another Qi Sect genius, but within both the Secret Sword Flow and the Gold Stone Qi Sect, he remains overshadowed by Victor. Consequently, his hopes of obtaining the Mystic Sky Treasure have been dashed for the time being.

Regarding the Spring Thunder Qi Sect, there are currently no exceptional disciples. Only a handful of mediocre talents exist, with the strongest reaching only level 6 and none at Level 7. The rightful owner of the Five Thunder Mysterious Robe remains a mystery.

...

Arcane Academy.

Following more than a thousand years of expansion, the academy now boasts over ten Arcanists above the sixth circle and a single Eight Ring Arcanist.

The group of seeds brought back from the ancient tower continues to grow and multiply. This, combined with new students from the academies on the Ancient Dragon Continent, ensures that the Arcane Academy never suffers from a lack of talent.

There are currently dozens of spellcasting civilizations within Nora. The most popular are the wizards, followed by ancient mages, spiritual power scholars, natural shamans, and arcanists. These groups develop and merge through shared growth and discovery. Recently, the Nora Council officially formed the Spellcaster Joint Advancement Committee.

The Arcane Academy serves as a prominent member of this committee.

On this particular day, a distinguished young boy with silver hair arrived at the academy’s registration office. Although he was only 15 years old, he stood 1.8 meters tall with a slender, long-limbed build.
