Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2822: 576: The Collector of Oddities, the Sealer of All Demons!
Previously on Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method...
Take the Black Abyss Sovereign as an example; despite belonging to the Ocean Faction, his legendary profession focuses on negative energies such as the Power of Seven Sins.
The boundaries are not strictly enforced for non-elementalist paths like Death and Life; any interested party is free to explore them.
Upon reaching the rank of Legendary Wizard, these experts concentrate on expanding and Cultivation of their specific legendary professions, which frequently results in overlapping knowledge across different factions.
Subjects like Space and Astrology are areas where every Legendary Wizard possesses at least some proficiency.
Furthermore, spells such as Sauron’s Great Disintegration Technique, Sauron’s Star Travel, and Sauron’s True Understanding of Wizarding are considered indispensable legendary forbidden spells.
"Everyone, I worked alongside Levi and the Death Knight in Hell to successfully seal the Poison Smoke Lady from the Abyss's 304th layer. I must prioritize refining her immediately. Once that is done, I will properly discuss the nuances of becoming a legend with all of you," Gargamel announced.
"What? You actually managed to seal the Poison Smoke Lady?"
The Thousand Mountains Immortal showed a hint of shock. As a Ten-Ring Senior Wizard who had previously crossed paths with her during his travels, he was well-acquainted with her formidable strength.
"That woman, along with the Gluttonous Demon King—two Level-10 Demons—pursued Levi from the Eighth Layer all the way to the Ninth Layer without success, hahaha. I had just recently achieved my legendary advancement in Hell. The three of us united, forced the Gluttonous Demon King to retreat, and sealed the Poison Smoke Lady. It was quite a stroke of luck," Gargamel explained.
In an instant, every gaze shifted toward Levi.
It seemed Levi had been incredibly bold lately, surviving a pursuit by two Level-10 entities. Truly, great courage often accompanies high-level skills.
Edmund offered a word of caution:
"Until you actually reach Level-10, it is wiser to avoid massive blood battlefields like Hell. You are currently too high-profile a target; every demon is eager to hunt you down."
The Frost Witch agreed, adding:
"Indeed. Just because we secured three straight wins against the demons in Nora doesn't mean those results can be repeated elsewhere. Those victories were the product of very specific, favorable circumstances."
The Daydreamer chuckled:
"Do not forget that the Nightmare World is likely watching you as well."
While everyone acknowledged Levi’s prowess, the Abyss remained unfathomably deep, constantly spawning demons with diverse and terrifying powers. If such a place existed in Nora, it would be equivalent to hundreds of different legendary wizard professions—a chilling thought to contemplate.
Recognizing the genuine concern of his seniors, Levi responded:
"You are right, seniors. I have taken your advice to heart."
...
The following day.
A major proclamation was broadcast by the Supreme Council.
[Hearty congratulations to Mr. Gargamel on his advancement to the Legendary Realm. He now occupies the 26th seat of the Supreme Council and serves as the 17th seated Legendary Wizard.]
Gargamel has been granted the legendary title [Master of the Bizarre]. His legendary profession is recorded as [Sealing Demon Book Master], his Legendary Demiplane as the [Bizarre Demon Realm], and his legendary honorific as [The Collector of the Odd, Sealer of Ten Thousand Demons].
This news served to calm the restless citizens of Nora, as it signaled the rise of another pillar of strength to stabilize the world.
Unlike the fluctuating power levels found among the gods of the astral world or demons, every Legendary Wizard is undeniably a top-tier Level 10 with immense potential.
Between their unique legendary forms, Legendary Wizard Tools, personal Demiplanes, and specialized spiritual companions, wizards possess many advantages that set them apart from standard Level 10 beings.
Shortly after, a second announcement was released by the congress.
[Recently, the Master of the Bizarre and the Dusk Palace Master, joined by their Hell ally the Death Knight, successfully beheaded the Poison Smoke Lady of the 304th Abyss layer and drove off the Master of Eternal Hunger from the 380th layer. Another General of the Abyss has fallen! Victory in the Blood Battle draws near!]
The world was sent into a frenzy by this update.
From the New and Old Continents to the Land of the Four Seas, Wizards and various alien races were left in awe.
The fact that a newly ascended legend and a Level 9 Knight, paired with the Death Knight, could take down a veteran powerhouse of the Abyss was a feat of incredible value.
The Poison Smoke Lady was certainly no weakling like the Flame Demon Tyrant Casas.
When the report reached the Ancient Dragon Continent, the knights couldn't help but shout, "Awesome!"
It was no surprise he was their leader; only yesterday, he had used an eighth-level body to slay a Level 9 opponent. Now, with a Level 9 body, he and his comrades had taken down a Level 10 demon. Even ignoring the specifics of the kill, the mere ability to survive and participate in a Level 10 conflict was staggering.
A typical Level 9 wouldn't even dream of such a thing.
This publicity blitz from the Supreme Council gave the knights massive exposure. The admissions office's communication arrays were nearly overwhelmed by the flood of applications. Even several Ninth-Circle Wizards were intrigued, reaching out to Levi about becoming part-time knights.
Levi accepted them warmly, believing that dual Cultivation was beneficial for those with the talent and drive.
The Goddess Knight was a perfect example; though her knightly talent was limited, she never abandoned the path of the wizard. She had recently attained the Seven-Ring Realm as a wizard, a path where her extended lifespan might eventually allow her to surpass her knightly progress. She held hope for the Eight-Ring Realm within her lifetime, already proving to be elite for her current rank.
Inside the Imperial Palace.
"So, you've moved on to hunting Level 10 demons now, have you?" Elena teased, though her eyes were filled with a mix of worry and affection.
"If a Level 10 ally hadn't been there, I would have fled long ago. I played only a minor role and was never in real danger," Levi promised, trying to soothe her fears.
"Fine, I will try not to worry, as long as you stay safe."
"How is your progress with the Energy Sect? Since the ancestor returned, everyone's Cultivation speed has surged. Even Lord Victor has reached Level 8 now."
"Just like my knight progress, I am currently at the Mid Stage of Level 7, though nearing the Late Stage. I suspect that by the time I hit Eight Ring Perfection, all three of my paths will be at Level 8. Hahaha, it won't be long before I am the most powerful person below the Ninth-Circle!"
