Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2905: 590: Sauron’s Golden Finger
Previously on Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method...
One day, the 18 Twilight Cavalry shall depart from Nora, roam the Multidimensional Plane, establish outposts, and rise as the 18 heavenly pillars upholding the vast Great Nora World.
"Chirp chirp chirp."
Jin placed hands on hips, gazing down at the Hound with clear contempt, sensing the isolation of a supreme expert perched far above, while yet another fierce rivalry loomed near.
It yearned to claim the throne as the ultimate Treasure Hunter King!
After beholding the Primordial Relics strewn throughout the skies, Levi gazed upon the Dark Ancient Tower filled with eager hope. Three hundred thousand years had elapsed, so the Primordial Things gathered in this place certainly extended beyond merely the Golden Electric Sword Grass; deeper secrets lay hidden inside.
"Let’s do it, let’s do it."
A single day passed, and guided by the Hound, Levi reached a vast silver-white mountain range, where mithril ores glittered in every direction.
"So many, not bad at all."
Though mithril appeared as a basic material, it remained essential for wizards in every field, vital for Forging and Weapon Refinement alike.
"Start digging!"
From behind him, an army of shadows materialized and set to work excavating.
In mere moments, a massive pit spanning tens of thousands of miles formed, as the Eternal Star Abyss swallowed the metals without end, like an insatiable void.
"Who dares to disturb my slumber?!"
A furious roar erupted abruptly from the pit's depths, accompanied by a surging wave of Frost power. A colossal pure white dragon, radiating the might of a level 8 peak, tore through the ground and charged forth.
Frost Wings Sethelde, a genuine pure-blood dragon from the Five-colored Ancient Dragons, an Ancient White Dragon of the Frost Dragon Clan, aged 25,000 years...
Normally, given its longevity, it ought to have reached adulthood ages ago. Regrettably, ever since hatching, a strange barrier had held it back.
This force eternally barred it from maturing fully.
As a result, it lingered at level 8 peak.
Thankfully, no other powerhouses dwelled in this realm, positioning Sethelde as the unchallenged apex, allowing it to reign supreme and revel in its authority.
What thrilled it even more was that recently, upon challenging its longtime foe, the Fiery Flame Devourer Ilos, it learned the creature had vanished.
Undoubtedly, the rival had fled in terror of its power.
Isolated like falling snow, it resorted to profound slumber.
That peace shattered today, roused by an intruder.
"Face the fury of the Frost Wings!"
Sethelde unveiled its pale golden dragon eyes, only to freeze in shock at the sight of the encircling shadow army, some exuding strength surpassing its own.
Convinced it dreamed a nightmare, it shook its head vigorously.
Regaining clarity, its gaze fell upon a swordsman clad in black armor.
He offered a warm smile, reminiscent of a veteran farmer reaping a bountiful yield.
"You're called Frost Wings? I'm missing an Ancient Silver Dragon; join me."
Sethelde initially burned with fury, ready to demand who this intruder believed himself to be.
But an innate sense of peril caused it to falter, ultimately whispering:
"Alright, I’ll go with you... but who are you?"
Levi gestured toward the heavens and grinned assuredly:
"I am the Master of the Dragon Palace."
Unseen behind Levi, the forms of ten thousand dragons materialized, ascending into the air, their myriad eyes fixed upon the Frost Wings.
"Sethelde pays respect to the Lord!"
The Frost Wings wondered if this was all a dream, yet refrained from voicing doubt or inquiry, thus hazily pledging itself to the Dragon Palace.
Levi clapped in delight; in under a century, he had gathered the second variety of Five-colored Ancient Dragon, requiring only three more to satisfy his urge for completion.
Upon entering the Dragon Palace, the Frost Wings felt utterly astonished.
"So many female dragons."
Though shy of level 9, it had long reached maturity and, within the ancient tower, found no suitable mate, forcing unions with lesser beings.
This Dragon Palace resembled paradise, brimming with alluring dragons. Now convinced of a blissful illusion, it embraced the fantasy.
"Hehehe... hehehe."
Leveraging its untainted Dragon Clan lineage, it swiftly drew numerous female dragons soon after arrival, who flocked to its side, granting it joys akin to an immortal's bliss.
Levi pressed on with mining, conveniently incorporating the Frost Wings’ Dragon Sons and Grandsons into the Dragon Palace as well. Once finished, he sought out the Frost Wings.
"During your time here, did you uncover any Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures?"
The Frost Wings reluctantly presented a hefty hoard of gold and silver treasures. Levi sifted through the pile, eventually unearthing a faint miniature throne apparition.
It gleamed in bright silver, etched with enigmatic metallic runes that shimmered mysteriously.
"This... Is this the Sun Refining Artifact [Silver Order]?"
Levi brimmed with joy; he stood to gain yet another extraordinary item.
"Refining this artifact will propel Victor to the Eight Ring Limit, and after branding the Witch Mark, he’ll ascend to the ninth-circle, emerging as this world's premier distant swordmaster!"
A rare golden finger treasure materialized in his grasp.
"I won’t take it without compensation; take these 1 billion Fate Coins."
Gold poured down in a glittering torrent, leaving the Frost Wings staring wide-eyed at the cascade, saliva trickling as it muttered:
"May this endless dream persist forever!"
...
A month later.
The Hound uncovered another Tai Stone Mine, yielding over 80 billion Aether Stone.
Two months later.
The Hound unearthed a massive deposit of level 9 Ore, rich in [Heiger’s Gold].
Refusing to lag behind, Jin procured for Levi a rare Sun Refining Artifact [Thunder Dragon’s Heart], plus numerous Bright Moon and Morning Star Artifacts.
As the companion creature's power grew, Jin’s talent for unearthing treasures vastly outstripped its former prowess, and amid the Ninth Layer's immense expanse, where treasures amassed over hundreds of thousands of years abounded, Levi reaped steady minor finds, punctuated by grand discoveries.
In the pursuit of treasures, both expertise and fortune serve only as aids.
