Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2864: 583: Another True God Slain, A New Legend!
Previously on Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method...
In contrast to Nora's legendary wizards,
the long-lived beings of the Giant World value their existence far more intensely.
...
Not long afterward.
Top leaders from the Ancient Dragon Continent convened and reached out to the wandering Levi via the Twilight Round Table, alerting him to the Nightmare incursion.
"Remain calm, this amounts to merely a first scouting attempt. Keep near the Nora Council. Moreover, the Bright Sun proves potent against Nightmare Creatures. Under this artifact's safeguard, typical Nightmare Creatures struggle to breach inside.
The Mechanical School's anti-Nightmare weapon and detection assault system ought to near completion for rollout soon.
All should maintain sharp alertness. Unlike demons, Nightmare Creatures lack robust direct fighting prowess, yet they surpass in deceptive visions and Nightmare assaults.
They could strike fatally while one slumbers...
Still, the School of Dreams has crafted a fitting remedy, soon to be handed out. Consuming it sharpens the spirit and reinforces the Dream Wall.Thus, fear not rest. Should anyone slip into a dream, summon a dream wizard from the School of Dreams at once, or a Tyrant of Horror; such entities can dispel those Nightmare Creatures.""
Through Owens, Levi gained insight into the concealed affairs of the Ashen World. The Supreme Council stood fully geared for battle.
Should the Nightmare World seek conflict, then battle it is!
Levi's directives brought comfort to the group.
...
Supreme Council.
"The Nora Dark Side has spotted vast swarms of Nightmare Creatures. It appears the Nightmare World gears up," the Daydreamer noted.
The Wind Empress turned to Edmund.
"Your view? Shall we strike preemptively?"
Her nature burned fiercely aggressive, favoring offense as the best shield.
Mist Sky Guardian paused before replying:
"The landscape stays murky now. Might we hold off a while? Launching an assault could provoke the Nightmare World into wilder frenzy."
The Barbarian Lords fixed their gaze on the Heavenly Will.
"Barbarian Ancestor, your thoughts?"
The Heavenly Will responded steadily:
"Strike! No delay required. The Nightmare World's push is inevitable, and the Giant World won't feign ignorance or seek lofty pretexts.
Our bold resolve will sow doubt in them. They may suspect a hidden ace up our sleeve, breeding their uncertainty."
Lady of Thunder inclined her head.
"I concur! We'll surprise them utterly."
Having weighed the council's views, Edmund declared:
"Indeed, engage. Further waiting serves no purpose; we're set, they're not. I'll entrust the fight to the Nightmare Command Center's overseers. Handling Nightmares falls to your mastery, and I hold faith in you all."
Specialization marks every domain.
Though mighty, Edmund lacks omniscience. Each powerhouse in the Supreme Council brings singular, vital talents.
Why hazard his life for the Blue Dream Star Lord?
Partly, to inspire fellow level-10 powerhouses from foreign kin.
Partly, Nora craved such dream prodigy amid urgency. The Blue Dream Star Lord's promise ensures her brilliance in the looming clash with the Nightmare World.
The Frost Witch inquired:
"Do we venture into the Ashen World ourselves? How to forge the gateway?"
As legendary wizards, they could breach entry, but legions and lesser troops could not.
Edmund assured:
"Rest easy, specialists will handle it... Meeting adjourned."
Days blurred into one another.
Outwardly, Nora projected calm, yet beneath stirred chaos. Post-Daydreamer's return, even pre-invasion, Nora surged the Dream Faction's growth, now boasting four Grand Wizards.
Primordial soul wizards' stockpile proved ample too.
Furthermore, the Nora Wan Clan housed dozens tied to the Path of Dreams. Presently, among 108 level 9 alien race Great Councilmen, experts in this path thrived.
Besides, the Ancient Dragon Continent's newest solo armor, "Nightmare Vanguard," entered service, excelling at slaying Nightmare Creatures.
Still, the Ashen World lay beyond Nora's domain, and deploying these assets for assault remained insufficient.
...
Nora Dark Side.
Eastern Sea.
A vague silhouette arose soundlessly, observing the distant rallying Nightmare Creatures horde with steady demeanor—it was the rarely sighted Vicna.
Owens lingered quietly beside him.
A vivid scarlet pierced the drab realm; Edmund arrived.
"Welcome back... Undying Shadow Vicna, sir!"
"Fortune favored my ascent to legendary."
"Thus, you forsook the Shadow World to rebuild the full Dark Side piecemeal from Nora Dark Side shards, correct?"
At these words, the Undying Shadow exhaled deeply:
"True, the Shadow World once raged as storm's core. Our present strength falls short to command it.
Yet the Nora Dark Side, in a way, serves as our homeland too, merely untapped and idle. As a forward base, it lets us slowly integrate other Dark Side remnants. Though paced deliberately, it grants a shot at mastering the universe's Dark Side.
I faltered before, yet I hold the 'Shadow Network' no flawed notion; it's vital for Great Nora Civilization!
As Sauron put it:
'To prosper, first pave the paths.'
The Giant World's supremacy hinges on another vital factor,
their access to Shadow Network-like tools, shattering Multidimensional Plane's spatial divides.
