Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2949: 599: Legendary Profession Light and Shadow Dominator (part 2)

Soon after, Levi plans to harness the expertise of wizards and knights alike to propel the Seven-Colored Scale Clan toward reclaiming its former glory, nurturing the emergence of its own level 10 powerhouse.

The wait was brief.

Rowling entered the Emperor’s Palace and remarked with a grin:

"I was studying back at my residence and detected your aura."

"It's been ages, madam."

"I heard about your recent slaying of the Holy War Army Master."

"Did that Blood Fire Dominator stir up issues in Nora?"

"Not in the slightest."

"Once you've wrapped up your affairs on the Ancient Dragon Continent, kindly join us at the Supreme Council."

"Certainly."

Levi made his way to the organization's vault, where he stowed more than five thousand Truth Oddities that he had brought along. When added to the collections from fellow members, the vault's oddities now numbered in the tens of thousands. As the wizards of the Ancient Dragon Continent absorb them all, the collective power level should advance considerably.

Sorting through the spoils from the expedition alone consumed a few days; the array of rare artifacts, otherworldly beings, and precious ores left the organization's leaders in awe.

"Is this the opulence of the God Race?"

"It's staggering—such vast riches, squandered away by them."

"My acquaintances in rival groups learned of my assignment here on the Ancient Dragon Continent, and they're green with envy; regrettably, their aptitudes fall short, so they truly can't join us."

Following that, Levi joined the eagerly anticipated gathering of the Eighteen Riders of Twilight. Everyone attended except for the reclusive Elena.

From the veteran knights, the Blood Knight, Black Knight, Ash Knight, Golden Lion Knight, and Saint Ape Knight persisted, each at level 8 mid-stage in their cultivation.

The Goddess and Divine Light Knight were on temporary leave.

In the intermediary generation, the Dark Moon Knight, Flower Knight, Thousand Illusion Knight, and Steel Dragon Knight were present, all holding level 8 early-stage cultivation, while the Silver Dragon Knight was absent for now.

Among the newer recruits, Crocodile Turtle, Jade Elephant, Fire Dragon, and Feather Knight stayed on. The Snow Dragon Knight and Pheasant Knight were away temporarily.

The Fire Dragon Knight stood alone at level 8 late-stage.

The remaining three lingered at level 7 late-stage; considering the Fire Dragon Knight's exceptional gifts, Levi figured they might all pursue Super Myth upon reaching level 9.

Later additions included Qing Niao, Halo, Peacock, Dragon Flames, and Snake Knight.

This formed the core lineup of the Eighteen Riders.

The group updated Levi on the organization's progress across the last three centuries. After enduring multiple crises, the holy temple's roster of level 6 knights had surged past five hundred and continued to expand swiftly.

Such growth would have been inconceivable in pre-convergence Nora, stemming mainly from the surge in resources that unlocked civilization's latent abilities.

In earlier times, scarcity confined their visions, leading them to view a group boasting mere dozens of primordial soul wizards as elite.

Today, they grasped that with abundant supplies fueling a burst of innovation, humanity's innate capabilities could reshape oceans into lands within a few millennia.

Progress on the Ancient Dragon Empire front was also noteworthy, boasting over a hundred level 6 masters; yet, prospects for level 8 remained dim, limited to just three—the elder trio of kings.

In general, the Lizardmen's inherent limits held them back.

Levi projected that level 9 marked their ceiling, though reaching their current state already delighted the Lizardmen, who embraced satisfaction in moderation—not every race can ascend to the pinnacle among All Clans.

Levi toured the Tower of Dawn, Giant Beast Paradise, Arcane Academy, Mechanical School, Dragon Descendant Priory, White Dragon Commerce, diverse combat squads, and the facilities producing knight and wizard cards, beholding a vibrant panorama with prodigies rising everywhere.

Records indicated that by the close of the second millennium, registered level 6 experts on the Ancient Dragon Continent topped three thousand, rivaling the might of a mid-tier academy.

This epoch was forged by Sauron.

This was the radiant age dreamed by the wizards' forebear!

...

Heaven Continent.

A figure exuding a mighty aura ascended the Heavenly Ascension Ladder steadily, conquering numerous ordeals to arrive at the Barbarian Ancestor Hall beyond the Nine Heavens.

"With the Barbarian Ancestor presiding! The Dragon God Barbarian Lord has returned!"

It turned its gaze toward the Barbarian Ancestor Hall, eyes welling with thrilled tears.

The Dragon God Tribe at last claimed a level 10 powerhouse.

"Excellent, splendid—my six Barbarian Masters are now whole, restoring my power to the level 10 pinnacle, hahaha!"

The echoes of Heavenly Will's laughter resounded.

For the Blood Battle, for Nightmare, for Heavenly Chopping... this supreme legend-maker, who had etched endless tales, now rekindled his resolve, eager to defy the cosmos!

On his prior attempt, he fell just shy of the level 11 threshold.

This round, bolstered by potent comrades, he harbored no fears!

Battle! Battle! Battle!

...

The following day.

The Congress declared an expansion of the Supreme Council to 36 seats, with barbarian tribes securing seven key positions.

Mightiest figures convened around the table, eyeing the weary yet triumphant Levi as he entered.

Edmund chuckled:

"The legendary vanquisher of the Council of Ten Thousand Clans has graced us."

Levi replied:

"I wouldn't presume such honors; it's the fruit of our collective endeavors."

Edmund continued:

"The Nightmare is mustering forces on an enormous scale now; in less than a century, they could unleash a vast purge across the Pan-Plane. Though we've allied in a trio, our combined might pales against the Nightmare World, and the Abyss lurks covetously as well.

Levi, how soon until you reach legendary status?"

At those words, the assembly of powerhouses fixed their stares on Levi. Impressed by his feats, they held great hopes for him.

"Based on my ongoing advancement, it'll require at least about three centuries. Spiritual force poses few hurdles; what demands time now is crafting the tenth-ring spell model, plus acquiring a legendary artifact... Knight-wise, the timeline aligns closely."

Naturally, without insisting on supreme legendary artifacts, Levi could swiftly peak his spiritual force and ascend via Elemental Proof.

Yet he aimed for flawlessness in each stage, ensuring invincibility at level 10 and dominance over the Star Ancestor at level 11.
