Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2965: 603: Swallowing a Dragon Ball! The One and Only Crimson Emperor Dragon in the World!
Previously on Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method...
Trading strike for strike, we can still wear Nora down until it perishes.
Should the Nightmare sacrifice fifty Monarchs, it would merely represent a temporary reversal for this epoch; by the subsequent epoch, full restoration is possible. How could Nora possibly match that?
Lingxi Saint King declared:
"We should confer with the Astral World as well, identifying a fitting chance to launch an assault afterward, conquer the Nightmare, and eliminate Nora to eliminate any potential dangers!"
Heavenly Wisdom Saint King stated:
"This event has triggered alarms for us too; in the coming epoch, whether it involves wizards or alternative Spell Caster civilizations, we need to proactively suppress them in their infancy.
Our Holy Clan will never act as cannon fodder for others!"
...
Shadow Battlefield.
Nightmare Army Headquarters.The Lost Monarch appeared composed, while the Devouring Sky Demon Lord fiddled idly with the supreme treasure [Fire Overture] next to him; it took the form of a curved blade, emitting a frosty gleam, encircled by scarlet flames.
The Arrogance Demon Lord remarked:
"At this rate, conquering the Shadow World won't require a full century."
The Lost Monarch replied:
"After wrapping up here, we'll reinforce the Nora front; they've forged a supreme treasure tailored to counter us, presenting some difficulty."
The Devouring Sky Demon Lord commented:"No need to fret excessively about that side; the Ignorant Monarch is directing operations personally, so capturing Nora remains only a question of time."
The Ghost Alley Monarch murmured softly from the shadows:
"Remember the Dusk Palace Master—he's still alive. I propose the Ignorant Monarch unleashes a fierce offensive on Nora, disregarding all distractions; securing the elimination of the Dusk Palace Master means victory."
The Arrogance Demon Lord scoffed.
"Ghost Alley, you're truly terrified. We've mobilized six of the Seven Demon Lords, plus two from the Four Great Demon Emperors.
Even the Nightmare Brain's strategist has joined the fray.
Can the Dusk Palace Master truly defy the odds?
Sufficient with the constant paranoia; let's hasten to subjugate the Shadows, then head to Nora and obliterate that Dusk Palace Master."
...
Land of Darkness.
Nora Battlefield, Nightmare Army Headquarters.
The Ignorant Monarch stared blankly at the enormous fragments of soul tokens arrayed before him, totaling roughly a hundred thousand, all destroyed at once, solely because of that supreme treasure.
Sky Ugly Monarch and his companions appeared stunned.
"Such a potent artifact— is this the might of knowledge?"
The Void Demon Lord suggested:
"Currently, it appears the supreme treasure can manage up to one hundred thousand Nightmare Creatures at once, so we can send in additional expendable forces for shielding.
Once it reaches its capacity, the Overlords and Monarchs press the attack.
I'll confront the Frost Witch; the rest are irrelevant to me.
As for Edmund, we'll leave him to the Ignorant Monarch."
The Ignorant Monarch agreed:
"Very well, we'll bide our time a little more; the Shadow Battlefield is exerting pressure on Nora, aiming to lure away Edmund or the Heavenly Will.
Without these two Level 10 Peaks present, our plan becomes airtight."
The Void Demon Lord chuckled:
"The tactician remains ever meticulous; we'll hold off a bit longer."
...
Around Nora.
In the Land of Darkness, a colossal well materialized soundlessly, from which horrifying entities emerged; at their forefront stood the succubus queen.
She observed Nora in the distance with contemplation.
At the Queen's side, the Lord of Immersion returned to familiar territory, exhaling with sentiment.
During the prior three brutal clashes, the Abyss endured a devastating loss, fortunately he endured; this round, caution and strategy are essential.
The Lord of Immersion inquired:
"Your Majesty, what's our next move?"
The succubus queen answered:
"Maintain your stance for the moment, avoid revealing our position; I've embedded a spy within the Nightmare forces, and they're poised for a massive incursion shortly.
We'll trail right after, seizing the spoils like an angler at ease!"
...
Astral World.
Storm Divine Domain, rows upon rows of orderly angels and Star Realm apostles stood in formation, unlike the chaotic Abyss and Nightmare, they resembled a disciplined legion.
Encircling the Lord of Storm, nine Subordinate Gods flanked him.
"All of you, concentrate your resolve!"
"The Nightmare Monarchs have transgressed divine rights, claiming the Shadow World and Nora as their domains, plunging the mortal realm into devastation, with flames and carnage everywhere!"
"As deities, as cosmic sentinels! As wielders of the thunder god's dominion to judge all creation, we must remain vigilant.
When the moment arrives, deliver a crippling blow to the Nightmare, and claim Nora for ourselves!"
...
Meanwhile.
Near Nora in the Land of Darkness.
A nondescript meteorite floated by, concealing within it a colossal form, adorned with a crown, polishing a massive sword.
It was none other than the vanished Flame Demon Emperor Surgard!
He had now reached the Level 10 Early Stage, seeming relaxed.
"Turbulence approaches swiftly; this time, I doubt that Survivor of the Vast Sea can shield Nora's Will any longer; should my [Sword of World Destruction] consume Nora.
Not only will I reclaim my zenith power this epoch, but I could surpass it, shattering the Four Great Demon Lords' curse barring ascent to Level 11."
...
As the Great Tribulation escalates, myriad heroes emerge in unison.
Eerie beings lurk with greedy intent!
... .
Ancient Dragon Continent.
Gondor City.
In an instant, three centuries had elapsed since Gandalf attained the ninth-circle. Each progression past the Grand Wizard marks uncharted territory for the Body Refining Technique.
"Given my present power, persisting in Nora for grueling cultivation yields poor returns; it's wiser to explore diverse battlegrounds, pursuing Overlords or demons to forge unique relics!
I've now assembled the four elemental Body Refining Artifacts of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water; next, I'll craft the trio of lightning, frost, and metal from the major sects, enabling further progress."
The demands and constraints for creating Body Refining Artifacts far exceed those for standard relics. Gandalf needed to strategize meticulously; his ambitions extended beyond the fabled domain.
His core essence compelled him toward the ultimate path of supremacy.
Shortly thereafter.
Holy Infant and Vic showed up, both geared up and prepared.
Holy Infant had long ago advanced all his Wizard Tools to the ninth-circle, his Grand Wizard base firmly established, advancing toward Senior Nine Ring, and he too sought combats for sharpening his edge.
