Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2852: 581: The Four Treasures of the Universe! Massive Gains!

Previously on Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method...
The Amethyst Saint offered the powerful Water Summoning Boots to the Rotating Ancient Emperor in the Underworld in exchange for a reincarnation retraining slot, but the request was denied on orders from the Lord Nether Ancestor, leaving it dejected and pondering alliances with the astral world while awaiting developments in Nora, the Nightmare, and the Abyss. In Nora, the Supreme Council announced the Dusk Palace Master's slaying of the Holy War Army Master's seventh Divine General incarnation—a near-divine level-10 entity—rewarding him with 3 trillion Aether Stones, vast knowledge access, 50,000 transcendent life forms, and 500 high-level bloodline crystals, sparking widespread celebration and calls for revenge against the crumbling Council of Ten Thousand Clans. High-ranking members of the Ancient Dragon Continent joyfully collected the prizes at a public ceremony a month later, while Supreme Council discussions highlighted the challenge of breaking the Covenant Sword bindings, which would require eliminating the elusive Amethyst Saint.

Though Edmund possesses the strength.

Yet, with so many watchful gazes upon him, abandoning Nora would prove far too dangerous.

Regarding the Underworld, it has no intention of meddling in affairs tied to the Council of Ten Thousand Clans.

"No need to hurry on this issue; simply allow Levi a bit more time."

...

Two years passed.

Year 1652 in the Nora Calendar, Year 1540 of the Blood Battle.

The prow of the silver spaceship.

Levi and Rowling gazed upon the fading light speck that was Nora in the distance.

"Without Nora's massive expansion, we couldn't even spot it from this far away... the cosmos stretches endlessly, while civilizations remain mere specks." Rowling pondered aloud.

"True enough, and these years have stayed remarkably calm."

Over the recent times, thanks to the Holy War Army Master's efforts, the God Race pulled back to their central base under his direct watch. Levi held off on striking, preserving his energy instead of chasing pursuits, planning to strike again on his way home.

One more factor played in: Levi sensed a God shadowing his trail, and though he feared no confrontation, he preferred to steer clear of fights that might play right into the Blood Fire Dominator's schemes.

The Aid the Vast Sea powered forward at maximum speed; unless unforeseen troubles arose, it ought to arrive at the Nelarayan Civilization in about twenty years.

Sensing a stir from the Twilight Round Table, Levi grinned:

"Lady, I'm heading back to the quarters now."

"Go on, I'll linger here a while longer."

Once Levi departed, Rowling reclined at the front, staring solo into the star-filled void.

"When the conflict wraps up, I'll wander the realms too—the world holds so much, I have to explore it all, fingers crossed everything turns out fine."

Inside the cabin once more, Levi activated the Twilight Round Table.

"How far along are you?"

Elena inquired with a grin.

"About halfway."

"Getting on well with Lady Rowling?"

"She's great; all Legendary Wizards tend to be pretty approachable."

"Oh, esteemed Hall Master, have you taken down yet another level 10?"

Elena fixed her eyes on Levi.

Levi figured the word must have spread to Nora, so he clarified:

"It wasn't exactly level 10."

"I guess I fretted over nothing; relieved you're safe. The council's prizes this round are extraordinarily lavish, particularly boosting the Twilight Holy Temple."

Upon listening to Elena detail the rewards, Levi brimmed with thrill.

Three trillion more?

Impossible to exhaust it all, no way to burn through it!

Naturally, the Aether Stones formed just a minor portion; the true gems lay in the knowledge reserves, bloodline crystals, and those extraordinary beings.

Armed with such assets, elevating the entire Ancient Dragon Continent becomes feasible.

The council seized this chance to honor him while formally aiding the growth of the Ancient Dragon Continent, knights included.

Composing himself, Elena continued:

"I processed the Sun Refining Artifact you provided; it cut down my training duration immensely, positioning me to hit Eight Ring mastery in under a century."

"What's the impact like?"

"Outstanding—it boosted my spiritual power by 1000 points, and my 'Viewing the Sea' ability has advanced even more, approaching a key threshold. Crossing it means evolving beyond mere Sun-Grade talent toward something akin to Legendary-grade."

"That's expected; you've integrated three Sun Refining Artifacts alongside three Water Series ones, where accumulation sparks transformation. Post-ninth-circle, your progress won't lag. It'll simplify crafting your personal Legendary Artifact down the line."

"True, though it's regrettable we lack a unique spiritual entity."

"Such things can't be rushed; your current array boasts 2 Morning Stars, 1 Bright Moon, and 2 Sun-Grade special spiritual creatures—plenty of Ninth-Circle Wizards I know would envy that."

"Right, I sparred my techniques against the dragon corpse demon; at my strength now, I can hold off a level 9 for a brief spell... But facing it head-on revealed the chasm between level 8 and 9 is immense; I could only hang on desperately, no real counterattack possible."

"Naturally; did you imagine toppling a level 9 from below would come easy? Any recent stirrings on the Ancient Dragon Continent? What of the prospects I'm monitoring?"

"They're faring splendidly. Only the Wind and Fire Dragon Witch, Leilon Knight, lingers at level 5's pinnacle; breaking into Mythical ranks feels like scaling the heavens." Elena sighed.

"Patience is key; he's still in his prime years."

Leilon ranked high on Levi's watchlist; he'd once probed for past-life glimpses but drew blanks, marking him clearly as a reborn Legendary Wizard—distinct from Heim—and likely the Dragon Flame God Wizard.

This stemmed from receiving the 'Dragon' glyph from Sauron long ago; even reborn, that draconic essence should persist.

Of course, matters like this stayed best unvoiced.

Levi offered no further insight.

The Dragon Flame God Wizard had loyally shielded them and Nora before; now reborn, Levi vowed to guard him fiercely.

Thus, the Twilight Holy Temple claimed two knight legends reborn. Each brimmed with unmatched promise, their paths gleaming with potential!

"Status on the Eighteen Riders?"

"Green Bird Knight hit level 7, with his wizard path reaching sixth-circle completion; the Blood Knights, those veteran commanders, all teeter at level 7's apex, primed for level 8."

...

Grasping the group's current standing through Elena, Levi grew surer of handling the looming war. Prior to the Nightmare onslaught, the order could spawn numerous level 8 elites; bolstered by Mechanical School techniques, survival seemed assured.

The pair conversed at length before wrapping up.

Levi proceeded to assess his gains from this stretch.

The six generals yielded a combined 1380 Truth Oddities total—Levi's inaugural four-figure haul of such rarities, drawing a broad smile from him.

Merged with prior acquisitions, the stockpile's Truth Oddities promised sustenance for absorption over countless years, guaranteeing no shortage for the Ancient Dragon Continent's prodigies.

Even for the more average sorts, diligent effort could earn merits enough to trade for oddities. Paths to ascent remained open, unbarred.
