Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2819: 575: Arcane Throne, The Legendary Gargamel!

It didn't take long for Levi to realize that something was wrong. Despite his efforts, the Gluttonous Demon King remained unbothered and offered no resistance, his voice echoing with clear mockery.

"My entire skillset resides within my gullet. Did you truly believe such a tactic could breach my skin? The durability of my stomach lining is equal to that of supreme treasures. Quit your struggling and submit to your destiny."

Damn it, my tactical assessment was off.

Sun Wukong’s legendary maneuver isn't effective for me!

Though Levi grumbled internally, he felt no true panic.

Since he had the courage to enter, he naturally possessed the means to depart.

"That is enough; I am finished playing around. I must reach the ancient tower without delay."

He couldn't afford to waste time. If he were transported to the Demon Headquarters, he might suffer a dark fate similar to the Rainbow Dragon.

Once more, he unleashed a full-power slash to no effect. Suddenly, his physical form erupted violently, his aura vanishing completely as he disappeared from within the beast.

His figure reconstructed itself tens of thousands of miles away.

The Gluttonous Demon King spoke with chilling indifference:

"Escape is impossible!"

Its massive, bloated frame began to shrink like a leaking balloon, venting a high-pressure stream of dismal green vapor. Within the haze, the faint outline of a green-skinned female manifested. She spoke with a mournful tone:

"Dusk Palace Master, there is no need to run."

The vapor surged instantly, covering a radius of tens of thousands of miles like a sparking nebula. Green lightning and sparks flickered within the cloud; mountains caught in its path dissolved into nothingness, and the fabric of space became scarred and fractured, teeming with venomous entities.

Levi’s expression tightened.

There was actually another Demon Lord concealed inside the Gluttonous Demon King!

It was Lady Poison Smoke Moira from the 304th layer of the Abyss. She was a Level-10 Early Stage powerhouse, a Corrosive Poison Demon whose very essence was lethal toxin.

Levi noticed that a thick, emerald sludge had latched onto his Blood Battle Armor—a substance his searing flames were unable to burn away.

"Even with supreme treasures shielding you, do not dream of an easy getaway once my Ghostly Ghost Corrosive Poison has marked you, hehehe."

The Poison Smoke Lady’s haunting laughter faded back into the emerald fog.

This demon possessed a chest with multiple protruding peaks like a sow, incessantly exhaling toxic fumes that made Levi’s every movement feel sluggish and heavy.

The demons had truly gone all out to deal with him.

To deploy two Level-10s was a massive investment!

Levi stopped hesitating. Cloaked in his Destruction Sanctuary, he used raw power to carve a path forward before activating his Invisible Secret Word to leap hundreds of thousands of miles away.

However, before he could catch his breath, the toxins clinging to his Blood Battle Armor let out an eerie cackle, expanding once more into a sea of green mist that hemmed him in.

"As I said, you cannot flee."

While he was hindered, the Gluttonous Demon King caught up, its colossal maw snapping shut toward him.

With a flash of thought, Levi caused thousands of crimson spikes to erupt from his body.

"Explode!"

Gleaming blood-red light shattered in every direction. Each ray was infused with the power of the Invisible Sanctuary, saturating the area for tens of thousands of miles.

The vast majority were gulped down by the giant mouth.

Yet, several fragments slipped through the gaps, reforming into Levi’s body. The parts that had been consumed simply dissolved into a mist of blood and vanished.

"This is getting troublesome."

The synergy between these two demons was excellent, combining lockdown with tracking. Any ordinary Level-10 would have been captured if not for his diverse arsenal of techniques.

He would take this lesson to heart.

This confrontation proved to Levi that the Abyss contained many formidable beings whose abilities surpassed his expectations. Without overwhelming power, he couldn't afford to be reckless; he needed to stay away from Hell until he reached Level-10 to avoid being targeted like this.

"We shall see how long you can keep dodging."

The demons weren't trying to kill Levi, as he was too difficult to finish off. Their goal was to suppress and seal him, intending to drag him back to the Abyss where stronger masters could handle him.

Deep within the mist, billions of green tentacles lashed out. Levi wove through them, using Sword Qi and spells to shatter the limbs. But the tentacles were endless; he realized he had to find a way to purge the green toxin.

If he didn't, the Poison Smoke Lady would follow him regardless of his speed. It was an inescapable loop.

Formulating a new plan, he used his Sword Qi to hack open a passage. His body flickered, traversing millions of miles until he stood before a massive, towering gate of green light.

This was the gateway to the Ninth Layer!

Without a second thought, he plunged inside.

In the sky above, gargantuan pillars reached toward the heavens.

The Poison Smoke Lady appeared at the entrance, her face darkening.

"Does this brat intend to lead his troubles onto others?"

Levi ignored her. Relying on his Undying Body and Super Speed, he tore through the realms of the Ninth Layer. The green mist followed like a clinging shadow, leaving the cursing Gluttonous Demon King far behind.

The chaos soon drew the attention of the powerful entities guarding the Seventy-Two Pillars. Many gazes peered out, but upon sensing a Level-10 demon, they quietly retreated.

"Neigh neigh!"

The sharp whinny of a warhorse rang out across the world.

Levi’s expression brightened with relief.

Emerging from a swirling black hole was a skeletal knight in heavy plate armor. Its eyes burned with blue spectral fire as it rode a Purgatory Heavenly Horse, gripping the Supreme Treasure Tyrant.

"Death Knight, it has been too long! I came to visit, but I've been harassed by these demons... care to give me a hand?"

Levi bellowed as he sprinted past.

The Death Knight offered no verbal reply. Instead, its form blurred across the landscape, and its blade descended with crushing force!

Overlord Secret Skill: Crossing River!

A magnificent river of light spanning tens of thousands of miles cut off the Gluttonous Demon King’s path. The demon nearly collided with it and was forced to a violent stop.

"Do not interfere! We will leave as soon as we have the boy."

In response, the warhorse galloped across the spectral river as the knight unleashed a finishing blow!

Overlord Secret Skill: Ghost Hero!

Only one with the courage to face absolute dominance could wield the Tyrant. The Death Knight had zero tolerance for threats!

The Gluttonous Demon King didn't dare meet the strike directly and began to retreat rapidly.

Meanwhile, the Poison Smoke Lady continued her pursuit of Levi into the depths of the Ninth Layer. She knew the dangers of this place, but she was too close to success to stop now. Given the Dusk Palace Master's cautious nature, she knew she would never get another chance to ambush him like this.

With the Gluttonous Demon King occupied, only one Level-10 remained.

Levi exhaled slowly. Though the Poison Smoke Lady was as persistent as a parasite, his supreme treasures kept him safe for the moment. He only needed to draw the attention of a few more Level-10 Pillars to block her.

Before he could travel much further, the sky trembled with a massive roar.

A colossal, ancient tome spanning thousands of miles manifested in the air, its pages covered in complex golden script:

Sealing Demon Catalog!

The book’s pages began to flutter, radiating the aura of a mobilized army. Countless Level-9 demons poured from the parchment, followed by a tide of demonic servants. They turned into streaks of light, diving into the green mist and self-destructing. The force of thousands of explosions tore the fog apart.

The Poison Smoke Lady glared at the newcomer—a short wizard in an archaic pointed hat. He had a sharp nose and held an old book while leaning on a staff.

This was a Legendary Wizard she did not recognize.

Levi looked on with pleasant surprise.

"Long time no see, Palace Master Levi. Shall we work together to imprison this demon?" Gargamel turned to a fresh, blank page in his tome.

The Blood Battle Spirit surged toward the heavens as a boundless Blood Sea rolled out to clash with the remaining green mist. The Eternal Star Abyss pierced through the sky, sealing off all eight directions! Levi stopped running, his wizard form and Primordial Spirit fusing into the Coiled Dragon Emperor!

"Let’s do it, Sir Gargamel!"
