Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2820: 576: The Collector of the Bizarre, the Author Who Seals All Demons!
Previously on Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method...
The Ninth Layer of Hell.
Across the desolate wilderness, a violent struggle unfolded between the Death Knight and the Gluttonous Demon King. While their realms were nearly identical, the Gluttonous Demon King held a slight advantage in raw power; however, the Death Knight utilized the Overlord Treasure to shift the momentum and suppress his foe.
Internally, the Gluttonous Demon King cursed the wretched Dusk Palace Master. Despite their meticulous preparations, they had failed to bring down their target. What more was required to succeed?
This had been their most promising opportunity to date.
With the scheme falling apart, the demon king dared not linger. The Ninth Layer served as the primary bastion for Hell’s elite and the gateway to the Underworld. Should he remain entangled until more Level 10 Strongman arrived, his demise would be certain.
"Moira, retreat!"
Forced to take the brunt of another devastating blade flash, the Gluttonous Demon King leaked Demon Blood from his wounds. He summoned several Demon Mountains to detonate as a distraction, using the chaos to Shattered the Void. He vanished into the rift instantly, showing no concern for whether his comrade managed to flee.
Betraying one's allies had always been a hallmark of demon strategy.
The Death Knight did not give chase. Capturing a lord from the 380th layer of the Abyss through solo effort was a monumental task. Instead, he wheeled his mount around, directing a domineering blade light toward the Poison Smoke Lady. If the king had fled, then this mistress of the 304th layer would remain behind!
Seeing their operation crumble, the Poison Smoke Lady had considered her own escape. However, the coordinated pressure from the Legendary Wizard and Levi kept her pinned down.
A pointed hat hovered beneath the Sky Dome, rotating at high speeds to generate a massive suppressive force that locked down the surrounding territory.
Gargamel stood with his white hair billowing, clutching an ancient tome.
This was his Soul Artifact, the "Weird Tower." Though it took the form of a hat, it was actually his personal wizard tower. Following his recent breakthrough to the Legendary realm, the hat had transitioned into a Legendary Wizard Tool, even if it remained slightly unpolished.
While it might lack the prestige of the legendary tools wielded by the Supreme Council’s veterans, it was more than enough to restrain this demon!
The arts of sealing, control, and suppression were the core of his Legendary Profession, the "Sealing Demon Book Master," making him a natural nemesis to all demonkind!
A turbulent sea of green mist surged upward, fighting against the Weird Tower’s weight. The Poison Smoke Lady was filled with anxiety; facing Gargamel alone was manageable, but the presence of the Dusk Palace Master made a clean getaway nearly impossible.
Levi pushed the Eternal Star Abyss to its limit, casting starlight across the toxic fog to steadily drain the Poison Smoke Lady's vitality.
Furthermore, a crimson ocean churned within the battlefield, filled with insatiable bloody evil spirits that tore at everything. Having gorged on demon flesh, the Blood Battle Spirit’s strength now rivaled Levi’s full-power state.
Though it could not deal a finishing blow to the Poison Smoke Lady, its immortal nature made it a perfect tool for distraction and harassment.
The true nightmare began, however, when the Death Knight entered the fray.
With a blade strike that seemed to split the heavens and the earth, a hundred-thousand-mile rift was carved through the endless mist, bisecting the Poison Smoke Lady’s form instantly.
For her, the toxic vapors were her essence; as long as the mist endured, she was effectively immortal.
But trapped in this cage, she faced the prospect of being slowly withered away.
Levi triggered the "Bath Blood" Special Effect once more, driving his spiritual force beyond ninety-thousand points. The Chaos Dragon Witch expanded in response, growing into a gargantuan dragon spanning a thousand miles.
Plunging into the mist sea, its scales gleamed with chaotic energy while its innate spells began a brutal assault. Nine Great Suns hung in the sky before detonating simultaneously, their intense heat scouring the mist and causing the Poison Smoke Lady to shriek in agony.
"Thousand Poison Demon Realm!"
The power of twenty Layers of Demon Realm surged forth, unleashing a tide of a thousand different venomous insects and serpents. They swarmed the witch form like a plague of locusts, gnawing through the Chaos Dragon’s powerful defensive barriers.
Fire Dragon Tribulation! Explode!
At Levi’s command, the innate spells detonated around the dragon’s body, incinerating vast swarms of insects. Nevertheless, many managed to burrow into the witch form, releasing corrosive green fumes.
Sensing the internal damage, Levi commanded the White Dragon to pull back from the fog, using spell power and elemental energy to repair the injuries.
In the meantime.
The Death Knight delivered yet another radiant strike, quartering the sea of mist, though the demon's essence continued to writhe and resist.
Standard attacks were simply not enough to end a demon of this caliber.
Observing the stalemate, the ancient book above Gargamel’s head began flipping its pages rapidly. It unleashed a barrage of seventh, eighth, and ninth-circle spells, along with innate abilities that tore through the mist. This book had once been his wizard form, "Strange Fairy Tales."
Upon reaching the Legendary level, his wizard form had fused with the "Legendary Artifact Sealing Demon Record," evolving into the "Ancient Book of Ten Thousand Demons."
Drawing from Gargamel’s vast library of knowledge, the spells detonated in a chain reaction, purging the most lethal toxins from the area.
Despite the combined onslaught, the Poison Smoke Lady’s core remained incredibly resilient. Fearing that demon reinforcements might arrive, Gargamel sent a mental message to Levi and the Death Knight:
"Do everything you can to suppress and weaken her. I will manifest a Legendary Spell to imprison her, allowing us to refine and destroy her over time."
Prompted by his words, Levi and the Death Knight intensified their assault.
The Blood Battle Spirit reformed time and again, diving relentlessly into the green fog. Simultaneously, the Primordial Spirit Emperor, the Chaos Dragon, and the Starlight Giant Spirit unleashed their full wizarding potential.
Levi descended as well, manifesting the glorious Six Holy Heavens. Wrapped in six distinct types of Holy Realm Power, his sword light flashed across the battlefield, rivaling the Death Knight’s own blade in sheer destructive momentum.
