Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2904: 590: Sauron’s Golden Finger

Previously on Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method...

Following the decisive battle, Wagner's heroic use of Nora's Dark Side power, aided by the Shadow World's intervention, led to the annihilation of six Nightmare Monarchs and countless legions, forcing the invaders into a humiliating retreat. The Nora Council announced the unprecedented victory, crediting the newly promoted Legendary Wizard and projecting the fallen Monarchs' corpses to quell public disbelief, while the Shadow Demon Queen and Levi reacted with surprise and opportunistic sabotage in the Nightmare realms. Defeated Monarchs in the Nightmare World, seething with rage, plotted a dual-pronged counterattack to target Wagner and encircle Nora, vowing to summon more forces for overwhelming retaliation. Five years later, as the Nightmare lay dormant, the Nelarayan World emerged from the Southern Sea, its Beast Master leaders welcomed by Edmund and over twenty level-10 wizards, expanding the Supreme Council to thirty seats and forging unbreakable alliances across Nora's seas.

Dark Ancient Tower.

Without realizing it, two millennia had elapsed since Levi's initial entry into the ancient tower. He arrived in Kane Land, where his immense spiritual power scanned the entire realm.

In every direction, wizard towers stood tall, academies prospered, and human society boomed. Over a dozen primordial soul wizards existed, and including the classic Supreme Archmage, the count approached twenty.

Inside and around the tower, vibrant spectacles unfolded everywhere. After consulting with all involved, Levi selected half of the primordial soul wizards to join him in exploring the vast outer world.

For those satisfied with their current situation, he honored their individual decisions, allowing them to instruct others and savor their remaining days inside the ancient tower.

Existence isn't solely about verses and far-off horizons; it's also about the battles right before our eyes.

Seventh Floor.

Rune Land.

"Flame Wolf, you're coming out with me."

"This... is it truly alright?"

"Indeed, I've observed that your cultivation has plateaued over the last hundred years. Achieving Level 8 Peak inside this ancient tower might prove extremely challenging. The location no longer requires your protection."

"Thank you, Ultimate Saint! Oh, and... there's some excellent news too; our Gray-White Academy has nurtured a remarkable newcomer this century."

"Bring me to meet him."

Levi encountered the newcomer.

Clad in a white robe, he stood erect with striking looks, emanating the aura of a fourth-circle Perfection level spiritual force. He was training in Gandaph's devised "Purple Crystal Body Refining Technique."

He regarded Levi with poise, neither arrogant nor submissive, displaying the bearing of a formidable figure.

Levi inquired:

"What's your name, young fellow?"

"Platinum Fist Edward!"

Upon hearing this moniker, Levi paused briefly in surprise.

Flame Wolf Saint hurriedly questioned:

"What's the issue, Saint? Is there something off about this individual?"

Levi gave a slight shake of his head:

"Nothing wrong."

This youth named Edward was born in the year 1600 of the Nora Calendar, matching the birth year of Vicken, the "Arcane Star" from the present Arcane Academy.

His aptitude was ordinary, just a Child of Chaos.

Nevertheless, within a hundred years, he mastered the notoriously tough "Purple Crystal Body Refining Technique" up to the fourth-circle stage, suggesting his body-refining prowess was impressive. Yet, the academy's crystal failed to reveal any unique physique in him.

As a result, the instructors remained puzzled about how Edward advanced to the fourth-circle.

Levi instructed Leon to discreetly probe Edward's previous incarnations. Tracing back 666 lifetimes, Edward held another persona... Platinum Wind, Roger.

In earlier times, Levi might have viewed it as fate.

But at present, he suspected it was the work of an external force.

"Sauron..."

Roger had already used up his opportunities for rebirth and retraining long ago. Similar to the Arcane Emperor, his current life was a standard reincarnation without ties to his former existence. In this incarnation, he started anew as an ordinary Child of Chaos!

Thus, Levi admitted a new apprentice under Gandaph, handing over the "Chaos Body Refining Technique" to Edward and encouraging diligent practice.

Wishing he could carry on Roger's storied legacy.

...

Land of Darkness.

Within the emptiness, hazy vapors gradually coalesced, shaping into a massive visage.

The Grey Mist Monarch seemed perplexed, whispering to itself:

"What's happening? I've entirely lost my sense of it."

"Curse it, just a level-9, yet so tough to handle?"

The initial assault from the Nightmare World had ended in defeat, leaving a dark cloud over the Grey Mist Monarch's mind. Now, it had misplaced the Dusk Palace Master as well. These repeated failures stirred an undefined dread within it... After a brief pause, it resolved to press on.

Forward! Grey Mist Monarch! Endurance brings triumph!

...

Nora.

Ancient Dragon Continent.

One by one, spectral forms of colossal storm-wreathed beasts materialized across the skies and ground, their eyes locked on the robust knight in red armor who harnessed gales and unleashed flames.

Wind and Fire Dragon Witch, Leilon.

After hundreds of years, he at last finished setting up for Super Myth Evolution. Thanks to the Dragon Flame God’s legacy and fate, the process dragged on; chiefly because potent wind-elemental Legendary Creatures are scarce.

He refused to settle for basic Super Mythical status; his goal was to forge a Supreme Bloodline excelling in wind and fire, ideally suiting his wizardly route.

This synergy boosted his chances of attaining the Supreme in this existence. Truly, he harbored the drive to rise to Supreme as both wizard and knight together.

This defined his grand vision!

"Approach, let me conquer these primal wills embedded in the bloodline; I seek to ascend gradually to the Supreme! Wind and Fire Dragon God Path!"

Leilon unsheathed his blade and swung it upward toward the firmament!

A pristine Hurricane Dragon and ebony Flame Divine Dragon intertwined like a plait, twisting skyward in a blaze of radiant glory!

Following a clash that reshaped the heavens and earth.

Leilon rested against his longsword, embedding it into the void ahead.

He breathed raggedly, overwhelmed by profound joy.

"Well done, Leilon."

Abel clapped in approval.

His sire, the Fire Dragon Knight, stepped forth from the emptiness.

"Excellent, now our Fire Dragon Family boasts a Supreme Bloodline too."

Mother Louise's gaze brimmed with feeling.

"If Father could see this from the afterlife, imagine his delight... Supreme, a pinnacle he never grasped in his days."

And so.

The 17th lineage exceeding Myth emerged in the Dusk Holy Temple, dubbed [Dragon God Breathing Method]; Dragon Flame God Lehger fully evolved, reclaiming his sovereign throne!

...

Dark Ancient Tower.

Ninth Layer.

Levi's eyes gleamed, brimming with eager expectation.

"Splendid, this 18th Myth Bloodline—I'm curious where it will land."

Owning a Myth Bloodline merely signals the possibility of hitting level-10; still, surviving the myriad ordeals to truly become a Mythical Knight remains unpredictable.

Yet as the Dusk Palace Master, Levi vowed to support every knight under him in achieving their aspired heights.
