Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2929: 594: Edmund’s Nora’s Sun!
Previously on Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method...
At present, the spell enjoys widespread distribution across Nora, drawing the keen interest of numerous Grand Wizards who are keen to master it, allowing Levi to rake in substantial earnings.
Through licensing fees alone, he has pocketed billions upon billions. Among all the Ninth-Circle Spells he has devised, this one ranks just behind "Nine Sword" and "Fear Fog" in terms of acclaim.
Undeterred, Levi pressed on with crafting his seventh spell in the sequence, having endured mental assaults twice from vexing foes such as the Poison Smoke Lady and the Grey Mist Monarch.
To counter this, he pushed forward with studies in sealing techniques, drawing on a vast array of theories from Gargamel and seeking his guidance via remote consultations now and then. Elena playfully chided Levi, pointing out that his video chats with Gargamel outnumbered those with her.
Levi's blueprint for researching sealing arts splits into two distinct phases:
The initial phase spans from First to Fifth Circle, where he merged sealing principles with the Elementalist School to forge a complex system of sealing spells, including these key ones:
First-Circle Spell: "Four Symbols Sealing Foundation", encompassing "Earth Sealing", "Sealing of Fierce Flames", "Sky Wind Sealing", and "Ten Thousand Waters Sealing"!
On top of that, it features "Three Talents Sealing Basics", "Light and Dark Sealing Basics", "Shadow Sealing Basics", "Blood Seal", "Life and Death Seal", "Highly Poisonous Seal"... plus various other sealing incantations tailored to different elemental forces.
Wizards aligned with a specific school can practice the matching spells.
More precisely, by harnessing diverse elements and energies, users can confine the spell power or elemental forces of matching traits inside the foe.In this way, the goal of curbing their ability to cast spells and fight is met.
The spells from Second to Fifth Circle build upon and elevate the First-Circle foundations, without any core changes; at best, they erect a sealing barrier powered by the caster's own spell energy to trap the adversary.
During this period, the wizards' grasp of knowledge remains constrained, and these elemental-based sealing methods prove more than adequate for handling typical threats. The following phase holds the real importance.
Once wizards enter the primordial soul stage, they gain insight into space and other arcane secrets, so the sealing spells here naturally incorporate spatial elements, bypassing differences in enemy attributes to dominate everything!
As such, though labeled as sealing spells, they function equally as spatial incantations, with this lineup kicking off at Sixth Circle and culminating in Legendary.
In theory, based on his vision, the spells include:
"Six Harmonies Seal", "Seven Luminaries Seal", "Eight Gates Sealing", "Nine Palace Sealing", and "Ten Directions Seal".
With this, a full lineup of sealing spell sequences comes together.
Shifting seamlessly from elemental seals to spatial ones.
Yet, the realm of sealing arts runs deep and broad, brimming with knowledge ripe for blending. When confronting hordes of immortals—foes that prove tough to eradicate—these two categories alone fall short.
For that reason, Levi keeps broadening the horizons of sealing arts. Relying solely on himself won't cut it; he requires input from legends and Grand Wizards such as Gargamel.
Looking ahead, he intends to craft "Mind Seal" for binding wills and minds, "Soul Seal" to outright secure the soul, "Time Seal" that freezes enemies in a stagnant moment from bygone eras, and "Primordial Magnetic Sealing", which ensnares foes in a turbulent field of boundless might.
Sealing arts, locking down the heavens and earth, binding all existence!
Naturally, these ideas are merely Levi's initial designs; bringing them to life demands he ascend to Legendary Wizard status, since his present base of knowledge lacks the depth required.
In closing, Levi summons his proficiency panel.
Strength Rune at Level 20, granting a 400% surge in strength;
Chariot Rune at Level 20, delivering a 400% enhancement in speed;
Lovers Rune at Nineteenth Rank, providing a 350% uplift in luck;
Moon Rune at Eighteenth-Tier, extending lifespan by 300%;
Fool Rune at Level 15, amplifying trickery and destiny forces by 200%;
Magic Rune at Level 15, boosting casting speed by 180%;
Hanging Rune at Level 13, raising elemental damage resistance by 140;
Justice Rune at Level 11, adding 100% extra damage to dark creatures.
Excluding the Hermit Rune, all eight of his go-to Rune Languages have seen notable gains.
Within Levi's thoughts, the Justice Rune shines with intense light, linking up to the distant Star God and forging an enigmatic bond.
With starlight cascading down, the star soul materializes!
A lean, stretched-out hound, akin to a lithe canine or greyhound, materializes next to Levi. Unlike the massive star souls of others, this one stands merely a handful of meters high.
"Woof woof woof!"
No sooner does it arrive than the sleek hound sniffs out the ambient energies, rips open the void, and dives inside, vanishing from sight.
Soon enough, the sleek hound reemerges, dragging a knocked-out Level 8 Alien Race being back to Levi, depositing it on the ground while angling for praise. Levi grabs the alien, which stares in dread at the black-armored swordsman looming over it.
"What... what are you doing? Hold on, are you the Dusk Palace Master?"
Levi flashes a derisive grin and flattens its skull with one strike, unleashing a surge of demonic energy as a Mind Flayer bursts free and flees. Levi swats it down effortlessly, as Leon deftly draws in the soul and extracts the Memory Disc.
"Master, here you go."
Levi stows the disc and pores over its contents with care.
"Never thought a puppet empire backed in secret by Mind Flayers lurked so close, concealed this cleverly—this hound's nose for trouble is remarkable."
Typically, no demons linger within a million miles of Levi, thanks to the Blood Battle Spirit's relentless purging. The rare outliers are entities like Mind Flayers, who can possess hosts and mask their demonic signatures.
And right now, this hound excels at hunting down dark creatures.
[Star Soul: Hound]
[Star Name: Dor-Tres]
[Justice: Hates Evil With Passion]
[Star Language: Darkness]
[Level: 9]
[Ability: Bring to Justice]
[Bring to Justice: Call forth the hound star soul to hunt and probe any dark creature across a hundred thousand mile range, unless the target outranks the hound by a full major realm, in which case no evasion tactic or hiding method works against the hound.
Every evil must face justice in the end!]
...
"Excellent, it pairs flawlessly with my Blood Battle Armor, enabling thorough, gap-free demon hunts."
After shutting the proficiency panel, Levi scans the latest updates. Over the years of his seclusion, Nora has transformed dramatically.
Supreme 35 positions filled, more than 400 Level 9 powerhouses, Star Gates linking far-flung territories, with Triss, Ace, and Gandalf all hitting spiritual force peaks or nearing them—poised to boldly enter the Ninth-Circle Realm this century.
A fresh era dawns.
