Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2960: 602: The Fall of the Legendary, Ten Layers of Destruction! (part 2)

Twelve years have elapsed since the commencement of the second Nightmare invasion.

In the Shadow Battlefield, the Nightmare World has committed a greater number of level 10 entities than the Alliance Army, outnumbering them by one-third, which renders their assaults savagely intense and virtually unstoppable.

Facing the relentless onslaught from the Nightmares, the Alliance Army draws on the terrain benefits granted by the Shadow World's will to hold the line temporarily through a defensive stance.

Yet, confronted by this overwhelming superiority in numbers, the Shadow World will inevitably succumb within a few centuries, forcing the Alliance Army to withdraw completely to Nora.

Once the Shadow World falls entirely to the Nightmare World, the repercussions will be beyond comprehension. Up to now, the Nightmare, Underworld, and Astral Worlds have yet to declare their stances.

Following the Ancient War, the Shadow World fragmented, its Dark Side shards dispersing throughout the heavens, transforming the primary world into a shared domain overseen by multiple factions, preventing any one from claiming sole control.

However, at present, it appears that the other three major powers, for diverse motives, have provisionally forsaken the Shadow World, opting to observe passively like opportunistic anglers.

Nora itself hesitates to offer full backing to the Shadow World, thus dispatching Mr. Silver and the Lord of Light and Shadow to command the Chaotic Heaven Saint, Star Dominator, and five additional mercenaries to the front.

The remaining official members of the Supreme Council stay stationed in Nora to guard against potential strikes from the Nightmare World, as Primordial Demon Lord Xuan maneuvers flexibly according to circumstances.

He moves unpredictably, possessing a power that's more vexing than that of a typical level 10 Mid Stage entity, positioning him as Nora's concealed ace.

Were it not for his limited background and inferior realm, lacking certain elements of this universe's grand path, the Primordial Demon Lord's capabilities would rival those of Edmund.

In another location, the Void Holy Temple has sent forth half of its elite forces, headed by the famed 'world's foremost sword' [Star Sky Sword Saint].

The arduous conflict is only just starting.

...

Nora Calendar 2012, Blood Battle 1900.

Land of Nora.

Even though all Clans had made preparations for the Nightmare assault, numerous individuals still perished within their dreams, failing to wake up.

Unlike the Abyss, Nightmares infiltrate everywhere and prove impossible to guard against.

Though they appear tranquil on the surface, they inflict greater losses than the Abyss, sometimes even prompting Nightmare Overlords to annihilate entire New Worlds.

Luckily, the [Dreams of Revolving] initiative is approaching completion; just last year, a supreme artifact called [Dream’s spin] was secretly forged.

On this particular day.

Within a modest wizard organization, a youthful and attractive Second Ring Witch, clearly employing a body transformation spell, lay upon the bed, her form wracked with uncontrollable spasms.

'No, I am not an ugly woman!'

'You monster, get away!'

'I am the most beautiful woman in the world!'

Her features contorted in agony, she was ensnared in a profoundly horrifying nightmare where a grotesque humanoid colossal monster plummeted from above.

This was the Ugly Dominator, a high-ranking officer serving the Heavenly Ugly Demon Lord. It embodied the terror humans harbor toward ugliness.

'Kekeke, you believe you're beautiful? You never bother to glance in the mirror at your true visage; do you imagine that altering your body shape can erase the ugliness within your soul? Humans are so insincere, despising even their innate forms!'

'No! No! No!'

As the witch's cries echoed, the Ugly Dominator seized full control of her dream, its level 9 might making the task effortless.

At the same time.

Across this New World, countless thousands of mortals and transcendent beings found themselves ensnared in the nightmarish web spun by the Ugly Dominator, unable to break free.

Soon enough, they would succumb to terror, departing in torment!

The primordial soul wizards tasked with protecting this area remained oblivious to the intruder's arrival, as the overlord-tier dream assaulted them across dimensions.

Abruptly.

Right as the nightmare fully infiltrated the witch's subconscious, the crimson and ebony barrier warped and then fragmented abruptly!

Crack.

A radiant golden beam pierced the Nightmare, entering the witch's dreamscape; it manifested as a massive spinning top whirling furiously, warping space, time, dreams, and dark feelings, drawing them into its core to tear, pulverize, and devour!

'What...what is this dreadful object? Curse it! I cannot escape!'

With the Ugly Dominator's anguished roar, on this New World, tens of thousands of its manifestations were obliterated simultaneously in the identical instant!

It had projected its authentic body into the visions of myriad beings, but now those were vaporized, its very soul unraveling amid the distortions of space-time, barring any possibility of revival!

The Ugly Dominator has fallen!

The golden spinning top appeared slightly enlarged as it silently departed from everyone's dreams, materializing once more above the Sorren Continent.

Daydreamer’s residence.

This Legendary Wizard extended his hand, revealing a miniature spinning top in constant rotation—this was [Dream’s spin]!

Crafted primarily from the remains of seven Nightmare Monarchs, incorporating a tenth of the Council Treasury's divine relic stockpile, and the ancient Primordial Relic [Helical Seashell], it was ultimately shaped by the master craftsmen Edmund and Master Bao Long!

It stands as Nora's inaugural ultimate weapon against Nightmares, wielded by the Daydreamer to navigate freely through the vast dream network linking billions of Nora's inhabitants.

Via these dream pathways, it can infiltrate any Nora resident's dream, eliminating any Nightmare Creatures seeking to breach Nora.

All except Nightmare Monarchs perish on encounter.

Even standard Nightmare Monarchs avoid direct clashes with it.

[Dream’s spin] can evolve by devouring the corpses and essences of Nightmare Creatures, potentially ascending one day to Cosmic Level status!

This embodies the [Dreams of Revolving] scheme!

Appropriating Nightmare strength to bolster Nora!

...

Land of Darkness.

The Sky Ugly Monarch stared at the broken soul token of his subordinate general, a hint of dread in his gaze; moments ago, he had attached a thread of awareness to the Ugly Dominator and beheld the fearsome might of that golden spinning top, which even his Level 10 Early Stage power could not challenge!
