Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2866: 583: Slaying Another True God, A New Legendary - !

Previously on Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method...
Wagner, the Undying Shadow, ascended to legendary status by infiltrating Nora's Dark Side, slaying its Nightmare overlords, and refining the Dark Side Heart artifact. He resolved to fuse his Silent Land demiplane with the Nora Dark Side, a perilous move to fortify against Nightmare invasions, with Edmund pledging support to ensure their shared defense. Two years later, in the Ancient Banyan Fairyland, Levi celebrated his 2100th birthday with a banquet, inviting Lady Rowling and gifting her rare treasures, before departing with her toward a yellow world where he affirmed his intent to confront a vengeful god.

"Very well, I stand by your decision. That said, I'm unable to strike at Him myself at this moment. His power barely exceeds the Old Sea Dominator's, so I trust you can manage. Still, slaying His incarnation won't end Him—He'll revive in the astral world. Yet it will drain Him of eons of gathered divine power. Rebuilding to the ten-level state won't come easily for Him."

"Lady, one more worry lingers in my mind. Should we take down Artu, might the Heavenly Father step in? Earlier, the Mother of Earth appeared ready to strike at us."

"That's a risk, yet with Him seeking your life, we must act and not stand idle. The Grand Council Chairman has been consulted, and he advised you to choose your path."

Upon hearing those words, determination hardened in Levi's eyes.

With matters standing thus, all his hesitations vanished.

"Lady, I take my leave—await word of my triumph."

"Prioritize your safety above all."

As Rowling observed the departing figure of the swordsman in black armor, a long-dormant fire ignited within her soul; she herself had never dared dream of toppling a deity!

Yet here was Levi, midway through level 9, scheming to fell a God!

From the dawn of the Ancient Age onward, throughout the vast Multidimensional Plane, such a feat stood without precedent—all prior God Slayers had reached at least the pinnacle of the ninth level.

"Once this clash concludes, combined with those earlier tales of vanquishing the level 10 demon, one can scarcely fathom the uproar it will unleash across the Pan-Plane."

...

A relentless sandstorm raged.

Within the temple's confines.

Artu sat in repose with eyes shut, while the Musk Bull slumbered just beyond the entrance.

Abruptly, His eyes snapped open, beams of Divine Light slicing across boundless voids.

"He truly traversed this path, the Great Prophet spoke true—no surprise, given His status as the God of Prophecy, blessed with immense divine might.

This confrontation demands full vigilance; that foe possesses real skill, having slain a Divine General's incarnation. Thankfully, the Father God bestowed upon me the Ancient Divine Artifact [Dusk Moon]. Armed with this sacred tool, my fighting prowess surpasses that of typical lesser Gods."

Artu rose to his feet and climbed atop the Musk Bull.

"Onward we go—after this task ends, back to the astral world we return."

For centuries He had lingered in the Lower Realm, burning through divine power spanning tens of thousands of years; had Levi not surfaced for a few more decades, He would have departed without delay.

At last, the endless vigil yielded its reward.

This day, the Dusk Palace Master meets his doom!

...

In the Land of Darkness.

With one decisive blow, Levi felled the level 7 Black Beast ahead of him, openly unleashing his presence without restraint.

In an instant, a faint crimson sun dipped from the western horizon, crimson clouds billowing over thirty thousand miles as a striking man with bronzed skin approached astride a bull.

He toyed with the golden scimitar gripped in his palm, lifting his gaze toward Levi.

Levi seized the fallen Black Beast's corpse, then plunged his greatsword into the void close by.

"Do you seek something?"

"Indeed."

"And what might that be?"

"I come to declare to you, mere mortal... in this realm, only one may claim the mantle of Dusk, and that is I. I am Artu, Lord of Dusk, bearer of Twilight Divine Authority, the one true arbiter of Dusk across this world, and offspring of the Sun God Ramon!"

Levi regarded him like some deranged fool, showing no reaction.

"I couldn't care less."

"Dusk Hall Master, just as the whispers claim, your insolence knows no bounds. Dispatching a Divine General's incarnation has swollen your ego, breeding contempt for the divine."

With those words spoken, Artu vaulted down from the Musk Bull.

Immense divine power flooded into the sacred relic [Dusk Moon], unleashing a radiant beam that hurtled at Levi, ripping apart the shadows.

Simultaneously, a paramount level ten divine force erupted from Him, surging forth like an overwhelming wave.

In the wake of that divine force, twilight's strange phenomenon unfolded, a relentless essence of decay and extinction rising heavenward.

The Musk Bull had wisely retreated far from the fray, aware that contact with its master's divine power would erode its body and cultivation level.

Levi lifted his greatsword, cleaving the captive demon in one fell stroke; demon blood drenched his form entirely, triggering the [Bath Blood] effect and boosting his seven core attributes by 70%!

His spiritual power skyrocketed, exceeding one hundred and fifty thousand points!

As his spiritual power swelled, the Chaos Dragon Witch transformation grew colossal, morphing into a massive dragon that spanned the gloom, its tail lashing out to clash with the scimitar.

Crack!

The scimitar impaled the dragon's frame, myriad runes flickering into obscurity.

The might of that divine weapon proved far more fearsome than Levi had anticipated.

Nevertheless, the pale dragon evaded nothing, countering with Death Strangulation as its coils wrapped the divine weapon in endless layers.

Levi aimed to bind the divine weapon briefly using his witch guise. The danger posed by that scimitar outstripped even Artu’s own.

Artu's face shifted, sensing Levi's presence edging toward level ten. Clearly, some profound and otherworldly secret art had been invoked.

"Hmph! Even divine techniques will end you!"

Artu gestured with his hand, conjuring a scarlet sunset at His back.

He settled into a cross-legged stance, withered old limbs emerging from the sunset, radiating twilight's essence as they grasped toward Levi.

Beneath the Twilight Divine Power's sway, Levi sensed his vitality ebbing away. Yet the Green Emperor Dragon's power endured eternally, fiercely holding the line.

Furthermore, the blood battle armor absorbed the bulk of the divine force on his behalf.

Employing the Invisible Secret Word, he vanished and reappeared before Artu, hauling his blade upward before driving it downward in a fierce chop! Unyielding Chaos Sword Qi pressed on, igniting the shielding Divine Light encircling Artu.

Clang!

A resonant hum shook Levi's longsword, yet the Divine Power Barrier held firm. Even with the potency of his level 9 divine weapon, it faltered against the deity.

As the longsword melted back into his flesh, clad in blood armor, he dove into close-quarters fury, shredding divine spells with unrestrained force; shielded by the ultimate treasure, he held nothing back.

This rush of combat thrill, he hadn't savored in ages.

The nine mighty innate spells, now fueled by spiritual power at the level ten threshold, emerged as his deadliest arsenal, verging endlessly on level ten might.
