Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2948: 599: Legendary Profession: Light and Shadow Dominator (Middle)

Abyss Layer 660.

The succubus let out a giggle, her springtime feelings awakening once more.

Within her, the energy of pleasure began to surge anew; even after three hundred thousand years, only that one man could enthrall her like this, as though he embodied the essence of a succubus!

This individual was Sauron.

With a snap of his fingers, lines of text materialized in the air.

[To launch the subsequent wave of Abyss Blood Battle, deployment of at least one level-10 Fish Demon, Flame Demon, Stone Statue Demon, Wind Demon, Black Thunder Demon, Ice Demon, or Chain Demon to the Nora Battlefield is required; additional level-10 demons remain optional.]

The words dissolved, the vision dissipated, and as the youthful Sauron vanished from sight, a wave of emptiness washed over the succubus.

"Very well, during this pause in the Nightmare preparations, we shall ready the next Abyss war round... This serves as the master’s directive."

Rising to her feet, the succubus donned her scant attire that barely concealed anything, akin to being unclothed, before heading to the 645th layer, home to Wind Demon Lord Pazuzu.

"Mekanxiut, what brings you to me? I hold no interest in you." Pazuzu scowled at the sight of the succubus queen.

The succubus queen chuckled:

"I harbor no desire for your antiquated form, unchanged across multiple epochs. My purpose here is to spark the forthcoming Nora Blood Battle."

"Why ignite it now? Allow the Nightmare World to proceed unchecked."

"The Nightmare World anticipates rallying more than eighty Monarchs for their campaign; with forces like that, they might crush Nora within a single year. Should we delay, how will we intervene in time?"

"Nora stands at its zenith presently; launching an assault now guarantees casualties, so I advise against it."

"We merely need to assemble forces initially, then lurk near Nora, biding our moment until the Nightmare forces and Nora wear themselves down mutually, at which point we swoop in to claim the spoils."

"I refuse to participate regardless."

Pazuzu shrugged with indifference.

"Are you intimidated by Edmund?"

The succubus queen mocked with a sneer.

"Even if I am, what of it? The Four Great Demon Lords remain unable to unite at present, and you ancients beyond layer 660 hesitate to involve yourselves, so why must I?"

Pazuzu remained utterly unmoved by the succubus’s ploy.

"Alright then, if you won’t join, I shall proceed alone."

The succubus queen mulled it over briefly before declaring gravely.

"You intend to go yourself?"

A look of satisfaction crossed Pazuzu’s face, evident in his incredulity.

In the past, this woman had cowered in fear of the Mother River, unwilling to emerge and merely dispatching lesser minions as a facade.

The succubus affirmed with a nod:

"Yes, I will venture forth, despite the countless threats trailing me. Rumors suggest the Fallen Star Lord approaches Level 11, and yet another Chaotic Servant looms on the horizon."

Envy stirred within Pazuzu.

It yearned to ascend to Chaotic Servant status too; no matter the might of Level 10, it amounted to mere fodder. True power lay in attaining supremacy, transforming from piece to player!

"In that case, proceed; I endorse your endeavor."

Pazuzu replied, having sought counsel from the Fallen Star Lord, who assured that this millennium marked a stormy era yet promised stability within the Abyss.

Still, numerous Level 10s risked perishing, as the Earth Demon Lord had demonstrated; security came only from remaining ensconced in the Abyss!

Should the succubus perish, reincarnation eluded her, freeing her Abyss layer for others to descend into, a most pleasing prospect.

"Hmph! You coward."

The succubus queen twisted her hips and departed.

"Insolent wench, revel in your bravado."

Pazuzu grumbled inwardly with a cold huff and resumed lounging at home in slumber.

...

Nora Calendar, Year 1900.

Under the banner of supreme authority, the succubus queen consecutively called upon the ruler of the 168th Abyss layer [Green Steel Demon King Jiasu], the overlord of the 230th layer [Skyfire Monarch Icurode], the sovereign of the 234th layer [Ghost Wind Sovereign Garrulu], the master of the 235th layer [Master of Deep Diving Shuster], the king of the 280th layer [Deep Cold Demon King DePaul], the prince of the 290th layer [Prince of Thunderbolt Lyle], the witch of the 305th layer [Imprisoned Witch Kasiga]... along with almost fifty additional level-10 demons.

What followed was a period of anticipation.

...

Astral World.

Thousand Hills Countries, Ten Thousand Mountain Range.

After achieving divine enthronement, the Amethyst Saint rapidly emerged as the key supporters of the Sovereign of Ten Thousand Gold, leveraging its immense strength, and abruptly grasped the allure of godhood.

It no longer fretted over threats from the Nora Council, gaining an extended lifespan beyond the grasp of those ephemeral races.

One particular day, the Purple Crystal Seven Kings arrived in haste and worry.

"My lord, the Holy War Army Master has perished..."

"Slain by the Dusk Palace Master?"

"Indeed."

"I anticipated this outcome long ago; it appears the Blood Fire Dominator truly lacks the leisure, or it would not tolerate the demise of its proxy."

"Your wisdom shines, my lord; now perched aloft in the astral realm, safety is assured!"

The Amethyst Race’s joy proved short-lived as a command from the Sovereign of Ten Thousand Gold’s Divine Kingdom arrived, casting a shadow over the Amethyst Saint’s weathered visage.

[Disturbances plague the fringes of the Ten Thousand Gold Divine Domain from the Mayfly Queen of the insect clan; the Black Light God is commanded to marshal the Purple Crystal Divine People and eradicate them promptly, without fail!]

...

A year onward.

Nora Calendar Year 1901, Blood Battle Year 1789.

In the Eastern Sea territories, a solitary figure materialized silently; Levi surveyed the continent that had expanded manifold, evoking the form of a majestic coiling dragon, his face etched with thoughtfulness.

"Nearly three centuries have elapsed."

He descended close to the Tower of Summer Flowers, detecting Elena in seclusion; during their prior exchange, she had shared her pursuit of the Energy Sect Eighth Level breakthrough, evidently dedicating herself earnestly.

Levi refrained from interrupting her and made his way back solo to the Imperial Palace.

Jinx and the Golden Heavenly King Ape materialized; Levi instructed:

"Head to the Sorren Continent, both of you, mentioning my referral; first, align with the Council, then Jinx, relocate the Golden Scale Clan to the [Seven-Colored Continent]."

The Seven-Colored Continent had been forged artificially by the Earth Saint as well, comparable in scale to the Ancient Dragon Continent, and populated by the Seven-Colored Scale Clan.
