Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2833: 578: The Descent of the Halo, Setting Sail!
Previously on Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method...
He passed the Sun Refining Artifact [Bronze Holy Seat] over to Lord Victor to handle the refinement process and delivered the [Divine Fire Blanket] to the Holy Infant to act as his ultimate safeguard.
He personally worked on refining a number of exceptional special spiritual beings as well.
Primarily, to finish off the current lineup.
Additionally, to test his fortune, aiming to develop supportive spiritual beings for agriculture that could bring massive gains, yet it failed to occur.
Remaining curiosities and uncommon valuables got stored away in the group's vault.
The Holy Infant treasured the [Divine Fire Blanket] immensely once he received it. Following the refinement, his power surged to a fresh height, rendering him almost invincible against foes below the ninth-circle during real fights.
The advancement in cultivation for the Three Avatars progressed in a comparable manner, and hitting Eight Ring Completion lay just ahead. At that point, they would possess the means to challenge ninth-circle adversaries.
Should the Three Avatars unite their efforts, taking down a ninth-circle opponent would prove straightforward.
After all, each of the three boasts a wizard tower, and their unique focused skills bolster one another. When they team up, vulnerabilities vanish entirely, just like with Levi.
In truth, Lord Victor’s present lethal prowess already suffices to harm a Level 9 Expert, thanks to the outstanding strike force from the Golden Star Sword Tower and the Golden Electric Sword.
Once he sorted out the young ones he had rescued, Levi briefly positioned the [Fiery Flame Devourer Iros] at the Starfire Wizard Academy. There, it could function as a protector while offering support to instructors and pupils in forging weapons and brewing potions.
Moreover, Levi reached out to a Grand Wizard named [Earth Fire Walker] from the Burning Domain via the [Blazing Star God Witch], who owned a perfect Level 9 Earth Fire Land suited for Iros’s development and evolution.
Levi offered a generous sum of 20 billion Aether Stones in exchange.
Tears welled up in Iros’s eyes, as he never dreamed anyone else in the world could show him such kindness. He harbored no bitterness toward his father, the [Divine Fire Blanket].
Right then and there, he swore loyalty to Levi as his godfather!
With those matters resolved, Levi headed to the Tower of Summer Flowers to rouse Elena from her closed-door training.
"I brought you something good,"
he announced, bringing forth the Cherry Blossom Beast, whose antlers—shaped like Sakura trees—had been trimmed. Now Mana clutched those antlers, drawing out the Divine Tree Power inside.
"Is this the Cherry Blossom Beast?"
Elena struggled to accept it.
"Yes, it’s ideal as your ride, right? Isn’t it stunning?"
Levi grinned.
"Beautiful."
Elena softly ran her delicate jade-like hand across the deer’s head.
"Thanks to the Cherry Blossom Beast and the Immortal Banyan Dragon, you ought to soon match the pace of the first Blood Knights generation—keep pushing," Levi encouraged.
"Alright, thank you so much!"
Elena brimmed with appreciation deep down.
Along the Wizard Road, discovering a solid partner truly can reshape one’s fate... Absent Levi, even with her talent, her ceiling might have capped at the eighth-circle. Reaching for the ninth-circle would have been a grueling ordeal. Yet these days, she even fantasizes about ascending to legendary status!
Following the usual festivities, she went back to her wizard tower to resume her isolation.
A more hectic phase ensued, as wizards, the Energy Sect, and knights all pushed toward greater heights, gearing up for the Nightmare incursion and the Abyss Blood Battle.
Back home, Levi learned of Triss’s successes in pharmacology too.
"Remarkable, contributing to three groundbreaking initiatives; if Madam achieves legendary rank, she’ll undoubtedly claim the title of Medicine God in the Nora New Era."
Activating the communication tool revealed a note from Triss prior to her retreat.
[Balance settled, thought you should know, debt-free life feels amazing.]
It appeared Triss had raked in substantial earnings lately.
Her ambition to become a wealthy lady advanced yet another notch.
All were hustling for their prospects; Levi retreated to the fairyland to launch his personal closed-door cultivation.
...
Two years passed.
In the year 1620 of the Nora Calendar.
The Sorren Continent, Weird City.
Before Gargamel, the ancient tome flipped open to its most recent page, where the formerly empty area now displayed a [Green Mist Sea Map], and upon closer inspection, the foggy ocean still churned, teeming with countless poisons chasing elusive figures.
At the page’s upper right, rows of text appeared.
[Sealing Demon Catalog]
[Number: 10-1]
[Name: Poison Smoke Lady]
[Abilities: Control Poison, Undying, Fast Reproduction...]
[Source: Layer 304 of the Abyss]
[Sealing Period: Indefinite.]
"At last, I’ve tamed this demon."
Gargamel let out a relieved exhale.
His Legendary Profession, [Sealing Demon Book Master], ranks as a divine hidden class for Summoning Style wizards evolved from the School of Death.
It enables him to process vanquished demons into his Legendary Witch Prime Minister [Ancient Book of Ten Thousand Demons], with every new demon boosting the witch form’s might and granting summons of demon projections at half the original’s strength for combat.
Before, the mightiest in his Ancient Book of Ten Thousand Demons consisted of ten Level 9 Demon Projections. Facing level 10 foes, they mainly offered backup.
During the clash with the Poison Smoke Lady, without the Death Knight and Levi pinning her down and inflicting heavy wounds, he’d have had no shot in his debut legendary fight. As a Summoning Style wizard, he lacked any reliable level 10 summons.
But things have shifted now; he gained his inaugural level 10 summon, markedly enhancing his arsenal, and he’ll handle upcoming level 10 battles with greater poise.
From here, he could build momentum, incorporating a second or perhaps third level 10 demon into the ancient book, as long as his spiritual force can contain them. His power would expand rapidly.
That’s why Edmund holds him in such esteem—his route is intensely specialized, crafted for demon-slaying. Should the Abyss ever get wiped out one day, he might drop from a top-tier legendary profession to something lesser. Still, Gargamel feels no remorse; if demons vanished from the world entirely, wouldn’t that be ideal?
