Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2963: 602: The Fall of a Legendary Figure, Ten Layers of Destruction! (part 2)

Levi declared:

"For the next hundred years, I won't withdraw into secluded cultivation. Should a fight arise, summon me, and I'll be there."

...

Three years passed.

Dusk Holy Temple.

Silver Dragon Knight Mansion.

"Wow."

A newborn's wail filled the air as the Silver Dragon Knight celebrated the arrival of his third son, naming him Herter. The little one, Herter, had a few wisps of silver hair atop his head.

Gazing up at the Silver Dragon Knight who cradled him, the infant ceased his cries.

"My son, let's check for any wizarding aptitude in you."

The Silver Dragon Knight whispered to himself while heading off to retrieve a testing crystal.

All of a sudden, a toddler-like, halting voice rang out: "No testing required. This form possesses the supreme Thunder Element affinity paired with the [Thunder Heart]. I am Fermon, Mr. Silver, reborn. Kindly bring me before the Dusk Palace Master."

The Silver Dragon Knight froze on the spot, then responded:

"Senior, forgive me. I had no idea of your rebirth in this place."

Mr. Silver replied:

"It's fine."

Soon enough, Levi showed up.

He eyed the baby and inquired:

"Mr. Silver?"

"Indeed, though I'm quite exhausted. An infant's spiritual power is far too frail, hindering my speech. I appreciate your protection, Levi.

In the years ahead, I'll need your assistance."

"It's nothing."

"Naturally, Silver Dragon Knight, you'll still be my sire. This physique bears the Silver Mountain Dragon Bloodline, ideal for my training in the Thunder Sect. Armed with my epic heritage and wisdom, I'll work to lift the Silver Mountain Family to legendary heights, perhaps even supreme standing!

This is my oath!"

With those words, the baby drifted off to sleep, a bit of drool escaping his mouth.

...

Nora Calendar, year 2020.

Mr. Silver's demise marked the premature close of his epic saga, as he reincarnated into the Silver Mountain Family, igniting a fresh legend!

War's brutality stands unchallenged.

This round, the Nightmare, armed to the teeth, proves far tougher than before; undoubtedly, more level 10 powerhouses will meet their end.

Such is the ferocity of this era of turmoil!

Similar to the Dragon Flame God Wizard, the council preserved Mr. Silver’s position.

They wait for his eventual comeback.

...

Time races on, eighteen more years slip by.

Nora Calendar Year 2038, Blood Battle Year 1926.

In the Ancient Banyan Fairyland, the 2500-year-old Levi skipped a lavish birthday gathering; facing mounting outside threats, he retreated into isolation, chasing a breakthrough.

Tower of Summer Flowers.

Clouds amassed, unleashing the level 9 Catastrophe with thunderous fury.

Elena, encircled by spirit beasts, her wizard tower spinning nearby, demolished wave after wave of catastrophe clouds, ultimately stepping into the Ninth-Circle Realm.

Over the prior years, she had forged a novel Sun Refining Artifact called [Heart of Lake], boosting her spiritual force by 1000 points and pushing forward the [Viewing the Sea] talent.

A companion beast was also brought forth, a mix of dragon and snake features, able to control the planet's freshwater networks, which Levi dubbed [Spirit of Dongting].

From Levi’s studies, combining the [River Heart], [Ocean’s Heart], [Lake’s Heart], and [Tide Spirit] could yield a Legendary Artifact.

Thus, he urged Elena to stay committed to this route, gathering and refining other comparable water Sun Refining Artifacts.

In time, she would rise as the [Lord of Ten Thousand Waters], dominating rivers, lakes, and oceans.

Upon hitting ninth-circle, Elena joined as the 205th Grand Wizard in the Nora Council. Truth be told, without the six wizards lost in the Nightmare War, their numbers would exceed 210 today.

After discussing with Levi, Elena chose to venture to the frontline warzone, sharpening her spells, Qi, and knightly path while earning merits in combat!

Levi supplied her with survival charms, scrolls, exotic items, and even enhanced her [Dragon’s Protection] ring to ninth-circle standards.

Equipped thus, Elena's security was guaranteed.

...

Ten years onward.

Nora Calendar Year 2048, Blood Battle Year 1936.

Fresh dispatches from the battlefield arrived for Levi.

[Lady of Thunder and Wind Empress wiped out the early-stage level 10 Lord of Thousand Illnesses, involved in the incident when Mr. Silver perished.]

[In the Shadow World, Shadow Fall Master faced a trap from Lost Monarch and died in the labyrinth; Charactus clashed with Lost Monarch, holding a slight disadvantage even with home turf benefits in the Shadow World, revealing the awesome power of the Four Emperors!]

[Devouring Sky Demon Lord bested Fire Bear Emperor, who fled severely wounded via self-explosion, location unknown, while the top treasure "Fire Overture" got seized.]

[...]

[Flower Witch Elena vanquished the Ghost Eye Tyrant, saving fellow battalions from the Void Holy Temple; pulling off such feats right after entering ninth-circle is remarkable!]

Within a mere decade, additional level 10s from each side met death or dire harm, counting the fresh ally Fire Bear Emperor, and they forfeited a supreme treasure.

Levi felt a weight in his chest upon reviewing these.

The Giant World reveals its horrifying strength when fully engaged; despite the Three-party Alliance's thorough readiness, level 10 casualties remain so dire.

"Yet Elena has matured greatly; I can stop fretting now."

Levi pressed on with his isolated training, anticipating the succubus queen's delivery of the demon lord—learning it was kin deepened his respect for Sauron.

The deceptive succubus queen, actually the male succubus Sauron!

...

Years dissolve into memory, thirty more elapse.

Nora Calendar Year 2078, Blood Battle Year 1966.

Within Hell, across the Blood Battle Battlefield, demons pulled back entirely from the front.

Through grueling, unyielding defense, Hell secured the Ninth Layer at last; to date, over a third of the Seventy-Two Pillars lie fallen.

Hell's power structure saw a complete overhaul.

Casualties of common devils and undead in the initial eight layers defied enumeration.

In Black King City, the enduring Demon Fox Main Mother and companions exchanged felicitations, as the Purgatory Demon Sword quietly withdrew to the Ancient Dragon Continent for secluded reflection.

A hundred days passed.

A massive Tribulation erupted in the firmament.

A silhouette wreathed in winds, flames, and dark fire tore through all obstacles with unmatched dominance, advancing to ninth-circle, his eyes firm as he stared at the lofty astral realm.

"Three millennia gone, at last I claim the ninth circle!

Murder Angel, you'd best endure; someday I'll reunite with my sibling to invade the astral world, drenching it in blood to honor my pledge!"

Following that, the Purgatory Demon Sword secluded himself anew.

He had now become a ninth-circle spell wizard—a task not beyond him. His true aim was to mirror Gandaph as a ninth-circle body-refining wizard!

With mastery over both sorcery and physique, he'll charge toward the Shadow Battlefield.

Proving his way once more in strife, chasing legend's trail!

...

And so the moment arrives.

Levi’s three clone forms, together with cherished kin and comrades, all ascended to demigod status, while he lingered in Destruction Heaven honing his skills, preparing for the ultimate surge.

...

Time speeds like a darting arrow.

Years later, Nora Calendar Year 2100, Blood Battle Year 1988.

Levi tuned out the frontline conflicts no more; unless Edmund summoned him, he'd persist in homebound cultivation, expecting the demons' handover.

This very day.

Ninth Layer of the Destruction Heaven.

From his throne, Levi stood tall, his frame echoing with the clamor of myriad divine halls, launching a mighty fist at the overhead barrier, which crumbled as vast energy flooded his being.

He vaulted to the Tenth Layer Heaven, whence he surveyed the Nine Layers of Destruction Heaven below, climbing to an entirely fresh perspective.

An old bronze portal hovered overhead, etched with a fierce red giant dragon flashing its fangs, locking eyes with him.

Crimson Emperor Dragon!
