Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2861: 582: Reverse-Slaying a Level-10! Complete Blood Armor!

After half a day, the brutal massacre finally drew to a reluctant close. Across a million miles, just scattered demon silhouettes remained, relentlessly cut down by the Blood Battle Spirit.

Ultimately, the tally of monsters hit a staggering 132, with 13 demon kings among them. Seizing the moment, Levi wiped out a group of level 4 and level 5 Shadows.

Moreover, the shadow beings from the Old Sea Dominator continued to develop. When they finally appear, they'll possess ninth-level strength.

Having once been at the tenth level, its fighting prowess ought to overwhelm the initial phases of level 9.

Levi intends to position it as the heart of his demon king forces and raise it swiftly to the pinnacle of the ninth level. Once he achieves legendary status, he'll retain a level 10 Shadow. This proves far more valuable than training scores of level 9 Shadows.

Thus, the "experience points" gained from slaying foes will primarily go toward strengthening the Old Sea Dominator.

Regarding level 9 demon kings, having 13 is plenty.

When Levi awoke, his bodily vigor had fully recovered long ago.

Yet, his spiritual power remained somewhat unsteady, requiring several more years to settle.

Lately, he'd triggered the Bloodbath effect often, yet it posed little issue; even sans wizard spells, he held the means to challenge level 10 foes.

Deep Red Eyes slowly parted.

On two displays, a pair of sinister forms chased after him, one identified by Levi as the Shadow Demon Queen. The second was cloaked in profound Darkness, beyond his present senses to discern fully.

"It has to be a Monarch out of the Nightmare World; they've arrived fully geared. Until my debuff fades, I can't confront them directly."

Without the Bloodbath effect, Levi's wizard fighting ability dropped sharply. Both pursuing threats sat at the mid-stage of level 10.

The Old Sea Dominator stood incomparable.

Having cleared the battlefield, Levi stowed the wizard tower.

All at once, he grinned into the empty Void before him:

"Your Excellency, Whale Emperor, feel free to show yourself."

With those words, a massive silhouette materialized.

The Whale Emperor's look toward Levi had shifted dramatically from earlier.

"Incredible, utterly incredible! I was nothing but a frog in a well; there truly exist those who wield a level 9 physique to fell level 10s! I'm in awe, complete awe!"

The Whale Emperor's feelings surged for quite some time.

After years of clashing with the Old Sea Dominator, it understood well the demon's vexing nature; subduing it proved tough, much less ending it.

But the man now facing it had accomplished exactly that.

Truth be told, without Levi's blow gravely wounding the Fish Demon, its tricks would've made escape nearly inevitable.

"It was just a stroke of fortune."

Levi replied humbly, as was his habit.

"You're far from average; that crimson treasure armor, absent from the leaderboards, has to rank in the top twenty at least."

The Whale Emperor praised, secretly jealous inside.

If the Sea Suppressing Blade it wielded were a supreme treasure, it'd dare to overpower the Old Sea Dominator and expel the demon from the Merfolk World!

"Your Excellency, join me please; I insist on throwing a feast for you."

The Whale Emperor harbored no further reservations about partnering with Nora.

Hence, it resolved to bind itself tightly to the Dusk Palace Master.

Levi accepted without protest and trailed the Whale Emperor via the rainbow path.

In the shadowy void.

Rowling kept a composed exterior, though turmoil churned within.

She grasped that her role in safeguarding Levi felt redundant.

In truth, Levi seemed more equipped to shield her!

Earlier, the might Levi unleashed appeared to surpass her own.

"That blood-red treasure armor that consumes demon flesh has to be a backup from Sauron. It seems once Levi reaches legendary rank, he'll command a tenth-level body clone that can evolve. Just that feature secures a top-twenty slot on the supreme treasure list. And that's ignoring its additional capabilities.

The shadow summoning—does it truly lack any ceiling?

Solely in numbers, Levi's level 6 forces already rival the Wizard World's pre-Great Convergence era... How could this be?"

Rowling had delved into endless innovations over her lifetime. Yet she couldn't unravel the enigma of the man nearby.

She captured the latest fight's footage and envisioned her upcoming promo piece, named "Level 9 Body, Slays Level 10."

On this occasion, the headline held no hype.

It stood as irrefutable evidence of his feats.

She yawned leisurely and slipped back into the silver spaceship.

The golden-haired beauty Maya gazed through the viewport, astonishment plain on her face.

"Whoa, my master's insanely powerful, right?"

Also mid-stage level 9, she'd been played by a duo of angels.

But her master felled level 10 demons.

Alone, he eradicated a full demon legion across a vast warzone.

Why such a huge divide?

Was this the true strength of a knight?

Beast Master Ritter reeled inwardly.

"Even if the Tame Ancestor lived, he wouldn't match the master."

Rowling fired up the spaceship and set course for the Merfolk World.

She held off on the promo release since Levi warned of a major adversary still looming, worried they'd bolt at the news.

That foe was the Son of the Heavenly Father!

Dusk Sun GodArtu!

...

Whale Emperor’s Palace.

A band of robust merfolk swayed in "elegant" dances along the edges.

Levi and the Whale Emperor reveled in their drinks, their bond warming steadily.

The officials stood stunned learning of the Old Sea Dominator's demise, viewing Levi as a godlike savior.

The Merfolk Princess cast coy looks Levi's way.

Noticing his daughter's moves, the Whale Emperor chuckled wryly. For a regular sort, he might leverage his tenth-level might to wed her off, but to this one? No chance. The Dusk Palace Master already claimed a supernova-tier wife.

Following the short feast.

Levi, Rowling, and the Whale Emperor convened in a hidden chamber for talks.

Gazing at the Whale Emperor, Levi spoke gravely:

"Let's kick off the merger without delay; blending large planes demands time. I worry the demons might send backup, dragging us into fresh conflict."

The Whale Emperor agreed and replied:

"Very well, my thanks to you both. Tell me what's required, and the merfolk realm will back it completely."

Rowling added:

"We must install four massive Star Pulling Columns at the Merfolk World's four extremities. You'll manage one, I'll take one, and Levi will cover the other two. Next, Nora applies the ultimate secret art to draw this plane, forming a gravity conduit.

Given its vast scale, the merge will span two to three years. Thus, Whale Emperor, station your troops for strict lockdown—no entries or exits permitted."

The Whale Emperor affirmed:

"Understood, I'll handle it immediately."

Before long, across Sain's four corners, Levi, Blood Battle Spirit, Rowling, and the Whale Emperor positioned themselves, hammering in the Star Pulling Nails!
