Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2818: 575: Arcane Throne, The Legendary Gargamel!
Previously on Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method...
The progression of the Demon Fox Main Mother and her companions has remained largely stagnant. As members of longevity species, even gifted individuals like the Desire Realm Witch advance at a more sluggish pace compared to wizards. It is projected that by the time Levi attains legendary status, they will have only just reached the eighth-circle.
Nevertheless, Levi is not the type to abandon his former subordinates once their usefulness has peaked, regardless of whether their initial service was voluntary or forced.
Since he possesses ample slots for the Black Emperor’s Enslavement, he chooses to leave their future to destiny, especially since he can facilitate the transport of resources from Hell to this location regardless.
Time continues its steady march, day by day.
With the opening of the ancient tower looming, Levi remains occupied in Hell, hunting demons alongside Leon.
"Master, it is nearly time."
Back at his residence within the Ancient Banyan Fairyland, Leon has accumulated millions of soul cans. He is enveloped by the shrieking, twisted wraiths of countless fallen demons, yet Leon remains completely indifferent to their cries.
"Very well, let us return."
Levi has completed his own preparations, having recently manifested a Level 9 Flame Demon Shadow. This new addition joins the ranks of the Six Great Demon Kings, supported by a total of 81 monster generals. Combined with a vast army of demon soldiers at Level 6 or higher, this force possesses the might to topple major civilizations. Any entities below Level 6 are merely regarded as disposable fodder, destined for eventual replacement.
His gaze sharpens, and intermittent crimson flickers manifest between his eyebrows.
After putting some distance between himself and the eighth level, he reaches a desolate wasteland. Simultaneously, his intuition regarding imminent danger reaches its zenith.
With him at the epicenter, the ground for tens of thousands of miles begins to give way, collapsing into a violent vortex with an overwhelming gravitational pull.
His flesh quivers as blood-red gales howl around him!
"It has arrived... just as I thought, it has been tracking me all along."
Utilizing the Invisible Secret Word, Levi accelerates to the speed of light, forcibly breaking free from the suction zone and narrowly evading the initial strike.
He witnesses a colossal maw, resembling a massive pitfall, snapping shut to crush and seal the territory. It devours the very crust of the world, grinding it down into the primal elements of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water.
As the dust settles, the true appearance of the monstrous creature is revealed to Levi.
It is a hideous beast, similar in form to an anglerfish but spanning thousands of miles in length. Its cavernous mouth can expand without limit, lined with rows of teeth as jagged and lethal as the peaks of Mount Hua.
With a somber expression, Levi summons the Crimson Dragon Slash into his palm.
This entity is the ruler of Abyss level 380, the Eternal Hunger Lord—Gluttonous Demon King Edis. Though technically at the Early Stage of Level 10, he is on the verge of the Mid Stage, possessing power that eclipses the Ghost Alley Monarch. He is likely one of the Blood Battle Generals of Hell. Much like the Devouring Sky Demon Lord from the Nightmare World, he is a demon lord who wields the Power of Gluttony.
The Seven Deadly Sins represent a specific category of negative energy.
At their core, these are forces distilled from the emotions of living beings. Many practitioners within the Nightmare World focus their research and cultivation specifically on the mysteries of the Seven Deadly Sins.
The Abyss is saturated with the essence of the Seven Sins, which gives birth to demons like the Glutton Demon and the Lust Demon. Naturally, the renowned succubus and the Sky Anger Demon are also interconnected with these primal forces.
On the side of the wizards, research in this field is scarce due to its late emergence. Currently, the Black Abyss Sovereign is the one who has reached the pinnacle of this discipline.
This expertise is the source of his title: the Seven Sins Swordsman.
"Even my sensory deceptions failed to mislead you; as expected of the Dusk Palace Master, slaying you is indeed a formidable task." The Gluttonous Demon King let out a sinister, rasping laugh.
Levi had foreseen this ambush and the underlying malice. However, following his encounter with the Ghost Alley Monarch, he recognized that his own power had grown substantially, so he chose not to retreat.
He has no patience for meaningless chatter and draws his blade to strike immediately!
His Sword Qi erupts like a cascading galaxy, grand and awe-inspiring!
"I shall consume you!"
The Gluttonous Demon King unhinges his gore-stained maw. His massive frame bloats like a pufferfish, expanding until it reaches a diameter of ten thousand miles. The sheer scale of the expansion seems to rend the fabric of the world, causing the crystal walls of reality to fracture.
Levi’s Sword Qi is swallowed whole, vanishing like a clay ox sinking into the ocean.
Driven by the Power of Gluttony, Levi begins to lose his footing, his body pulled inexorably toward the gaping abyss of the demon's mouth. This time, even the Invisible Secret Word fails to provide an escape.
"Enter my gullet! Hehehe!"
The Gluttonous Demon King cackles with madness, his hunger threatening to swallow the entire world.
Observing the situation, Levi ceases his resistance. He transforms into a streak of light and allows himself to be sucked into the giant maw, which snaps shut with a trail of dripping saliva.
The interior of the beast is saturated with the Power of Gluttony, capable of dissolving any substance; even those at Level 10 would find it nearly impossible to endure within.
"In less than fifteen minutes, you will be nothing more than dissolved sludge."
The rumors claimed the Dusk Palace Master was difficult to eliminate, yet now it appeared he was easily dealt with.
He had some skill, but not enough to matter.
Meanwhile, Levi found himself submerged in a vast, verdant sea of acid.
"The digestive fluids of a Glutton Demon can eat through Level 9 Metal in fifteen minutes... Fortunately, I am protected by the Blood Battle Armor. I could remain here for three days and nights without issue."
The crimson plate armor encased him entirely, creating a barrier that the gluttonous forces could not penetrate.
"Today, I shall follow the example of Sun Wukong and tear this wretched beast apart from the inside."
With unwavering resolve, Levi manifested his crown within the Eternal Star Abyss. He summoned the Blood Battle Spirit, the Chaos Dragon, and the Primordial Spirit Emperor, calling forth his various summoned allies to the fray.
"Go forth! Strike without mercy! Unleash everything! I refuse to believe this beast is invulnerable from within!"
It is a universal truth that the internal organs of any creature are its most vulnerable points.
The Eternal Star Abyss expanded rapidly, its Nine Thousand Sealing Stars shining brightly to manifest a Starlight Giant Spirit with the power of a Level 9 Late Stage expert. Standing tall within the wizard tower, the giant began to rain blows in every direction.
Elsewhere, the Light Giant’s eyes fired concentrated Holy Light Beams that scorched the stomach lining. Simultaneously, the Primordial Magnetic Giant Soldier neutralized the surrounding acid, shielding the group from the corrosive environment. The Chaos Dragon contributed by bombarding the area with a relentless barrage of spells.
Ultimately, the most devastating attacks came from Levi and his Blood Battle Spirit; each swing of their Sword Qi carved massive, bleeding gashes into the walls of the demon's stomach.
