Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2823: 576: The Collector of Oddities, the Sealer of All Demons!

Elena's heart swelled with assurance. Her prowess grew with every passing day as she progressed through the ranks of the Energy Sect and the mid-level knight realms. Although she was currently ranked as an eighth-circle senior wizard, she possessed the strength to slay Level 8 Late Stage demons or best Level 8 Peak demons without struggle.

She even harbored the ambition of hunting a Level 9 entity with her Level 8 physique once all three of her Cultivation paths reached their zenith, but Levi had intervened to stop her.

Such dangerous ventures were naturally not to be undertaken recklessly without the backing of external resources.

Levi did not doubt that Elena, upon reaching the peak of all three paths, would be capable of holding her own against Level 9 demons. However, he knew that without her own specialized methods, actually killing them would prove an arduous task.

Levi gave her his counsel:

"I intend to remain within the Dark Ancient Tower for the duration of the coming year. Stay on the Ancient Dragon Continent until I return; it is the most secure location for you."

"You must take care of yourself as well," she replied.

Following a brief moment of celebration with Elena, Levi stepped into the ancient tower. Not even the looming threat of a nightmare invasion could deter his entry.

...

At the same time.

Within the Land of Darkness.

"Commander, Flick from Hell is inquiring about our timeline for the Nora war. They report that the wizards have already begun meddling in the hell war, turning what was once a dominant position into a deteriorating situation. Furthermore, the Poison Smoke Lady was recently captured by the Dusk Palace Master and the newly risen legendary Gargamel."

Pazuzu’s expression turned grim upon hearing the report.

Flick, the Lord of Prison Star from the 655th layer of the Abyss, was an Iron Demon feared as the Chain Tyrant.

"We are currently unable to move from our position. Let the demons of Hell find their own way out of this. It is a disgrace to the Abyss that those useless lords of the 304th layer were taken down by two juniors. If we suffer losses while contending with Edmund here, it is expected. Does Hell really think they have it any better?"

Pazuzu had no patience for the complaints of his peers.

"Understood, I shall convey your words."

"Furthermore, that Death Knight is becoming far too arrogant. Order someone in Hell to eliminate him and claim the Supreme Treasure Tyrant," Pazuzu commanded with a cold tone.

"As you wish."

"One more thing... I have word that the Eternal Sleep is merely using the Lost Monarch as an excuse to avoid combat. Force it to Nora immediately. We require its unique powers to defend against the Nightmare Monarchs."

...

The Nightmare World.

While the various fronts of the Abyss continued to pass the blame, an increasing number of Overlords and Monarchs answered the summons to the Lost Domain. Upon hearing that the Spirit Monarch had ignored the call, the Lost Monarch remained silent.

The Nightmare World would not miss a single defector.

Once the affairs in Nora were concluded, a reckoning would come in the autumn—that legendary dragon species from the outside was acting far too high and mighty.

"Is there still no sign of movement from the Abyss?"

"Nothing yet. However, the Dusk Palace Master recently surfaced in Hell. Alongside the new legend, Gargamel, they managed to slay the lord of the 304th layer."

This news sent a ripple of shock through the gathered Monarchs.

"If he is not dealt with before he achieves Level 10, then once he reaches that stage, only the Supreme Will of the Multidimensional Plane will be able to stop him," the Lost Monarch declared.

The Ghost Alley Monarch felt a sense of relief at these words; it made the failure to capture the Dusk Palace Master seem less like a personal humiliation.

"I have maintained from the start that this individual is a difficult opponent to manage."

...

The Sauron Continent.

The Pharmacist Association.

The Super God One Potion, designed to expand the upper limits of spiritual force, had finally been launched.

Any wizard who has not yet reached the primordial soul realm can use it to boost their spiritual force limit by 10 points. Its potency is considered on par with an Earth-Grade Oddity.

Crucially, its production cost is significantly lower than that of rare oddities, making it accessible to low-level wizards who put in the effort. The strategy now is to popularize the potion, targeting the spiritual force limits of the masses to increase the overall success rate of breakthroughs among wizards.

Naturally, the Super God One Potion is subject to diminishing returns.

The initial dose provides the maximum benefit, the second dose only offers half the potency, and by the fourth dose, the body develops a total resistance.

However, the congress is already in the process of developing variations like the Super God No.2 Potion. The goal is to ensure all wizards can benefit from an increased spiritual force ceiling.

This initiative is largely aimed at the vast numbers of lower-tier wizards. For the elite, the Truth Oddity remains the gold standard for expanding one's spiritual force.

During the press conference.

The Thousand Mountains Immortal spoke with great enthusiasm, declaring this the third revolutionary potion, following in the footsteps of the Wash Trace Potion and the Thousand-Year Potion.

He branded these three as the "Nora’s Three Divine Medicines" of the new era, acknowledging Madam Triss as a vital contributor to the research. Every pharmacist involved in the project was slated to receive substantial war merit rewards.

Upon her return to the Ancient Dragon Continent, Triss had finally gathered enough war merit to trade for her second Sun Refining Artifact, with her sights set on the Tear of the Water God.

The Water God Series Artifact is ideal for helping a wizard stabilize their Foundation Establishment, refine their talent, and acquire a Water Element Holy Body early on, which vastly improves survival. Unfortunately, the exchange treasury was out of stock, leaving her with no choice but to wait.

One month later.

A message arrived unexpectedly from the Gondor City Lord.

"Madam, be sure to check the store updates at the first light of dawn tomorrow."

Though the note was cryptic, Triss understood the implication given the sender's status, and a spark of hope ignited in her heart.

The following day, as she refreshed the inventory, new oddities appeared on the list.

Tear of the Water God!

...

The Thousand Mountain Mansion.

Alexander watched as the oddities were claimed and disappeared, his face remaining a mask of calm.
