Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2972: 605: Slaughtering All, Turning the Tide!

Shadow Battlefield.

"Dusk Palace Master? He’s... he’s at level 10?"

The Monarchs simply couldn’t believe it.

Boom! The fearsome spear beam clashed against the towering mountains summoned by Sky Pool Monarch, hurling stones everywhere and kicking up clouds of dust. The resulting tremors rippled out over tens of thousands of miles.

Sky Pool Monarch was hurled back through the air, his expression filled with shock.

Despite being in Level 10 Middle Stage, he found himself outmatched right from the start.

Such overwhelming might left every Nightmare Monarch there stunned—didn’t this suggest that the Dusk Palace Master possessed the might of Level 10 Late Stage, or perhaps even the pinnacle?

"Hurry, hurry, a few of you, team up with me to take down this foe!"

Sky Pool Monarch called out desperately for aid.

Pale Monarch summoned a massive white bone claw that blotted out the heavens, shattering the firmament as it lunged at Levi. It bore a striking resemblance to the strike that had obliterated the Ash Dragon earlier.

Before Levi had a chance to respond, the icy voice of Lady of Thunder rang out:

"Your opponent is me!"

A powerful bolt of thunder intercepted the enormous claw, shattering it into pieces. Countless bolts of heavenly lightning rained down from the celestial vault, targeting the Pale Monarch.

Lady of Thunder positioned herself with hair standing on end and robes billowing outward, her imposing stature commanding the throne of thunderclouds. She wasn’t the Thunder God, but she surpassed him!

"Kill!"

The Four Great Giants advanced boldly, hauling mountains while pursuing the moon, unleashing their wizardly abilities. Elements of earth, fire, wind, and water materialized, with sacred artifacts shining brightly as they engaged their individual foes.

Now bolstered by six additional Level 10 powerhouses, the three-way alliance commanded a force of 29 mighty warriors. Though they still trailed the Nightmares in numbers, the difference wasn’t overwhelming.

In particular, the Mountain Giant King operated at Level 10 Late Stage, ranking among the elite fighters.

Observing Charactus in dire straits against the Lost Monarch, he swiftly intervened in the grimmest confrontation, gesturing to unleash a barrage of a thousand colossal summits! This eased the pressure on Charactus, turning his desperate fight against the Lost Monarch into a manageable one.

The Lost Monarch no longer appeared so at ease.

Deep within, it calculated:

"Six more have arrived from the Shadow Battlefield, meaning half the guards on Nora have departed, allowing the Ignorant Monarch to make its move. This presents the ideal moment to claim Nora."

With the Level 10 forces nearly at a two-to-one advantage, defeat seemed impossible.

After communicating this update to the Ignorant Monarch, the Lost Monarch turned its full attention to the two powerful adversaries in front of it, assured in the Ignorant Monarch’s prowess and judgment. Through innumerable conflicts in the astral realm, the Nightmare Brain had always proven reliable to the Monarchs!

...

Meanwhile.

Nora Battlefield.

A strange sensation stirred within the Ignorant Monarch.

"Dusk Palace Master and the Four Great Giant Kings have departed. I’ll deal with Edmund, while the Four Great Demon Lords go after Heavenly Will and Frost Witch. The rest will overwhelm Nora’s level 10 defenders with sheer force... On paper, this is a flawless strategy. Yet why does unease gnaw at me?"

Unable to fully dispel this doubt, the Ignorant Monarch considered:

"Why not consult the magical stone tablet?"

It was that very tablet which had elevated it from ignorant brute to the Nightmare World Brain, the supreme tactician!

Throughout, the Ignorant Monarch viewed the stone tablet as its secret edge, a singular advantage setting it apart from fellow Monarchs.

As such, only it knew of the tablet’s presence.

"Oh stone tablet, reveal to me, who holds the title of wisest in this realm?" the Ignorant Monarch questioned with a grin.

[It is you, Ignorant Monarch!]

Words materialized upon the stone tablet.

"Hahaha, just as I thought. Oh stone tablet... now advise me on my next steps?" it pressed further.

[The projection into the abyss lurks hidden near the Nora Battlefield, where the succubus queen commands over forty level 10 lords observing from the shadows, poised to reap rewards like opportunistic fishermen. Similarly, the Lord of Storm from the astral world has assembled the gods in concealment, eyeing the chaos hungrily.

Even the Legendary Wizards possess replicas of "Sauron’s Great Disintegration Technique."

Should we proceed at this juncture, we might secure Nora but at heavy cost, leaving us vulnerable to assaults from the abyss and astral forces with no path to triumph.

To avoid our labors benefiting others, dispatch the Four Great Demon Lords to repel the Lord of Storm, scattering them as a deterrent.

Then, should the abyss withdraw for now, we return to Nora. If not, the forces launch a swift assault on the abyss, leveraging our superior numbers to drive them off and secure the area for capturing Nora.]

Reading this, the Ignorant Monarch’s face shifted ever so slightly.

"The abyss is here?"

He promptly sent out scouts for extensive surveillance across the Land of Darkness, uncovering clear signs of abyssal intrusion.

"Ha, these fiends are scheming just as anticipated."

The Ignorant Monarch let out a chilling scoff.

"Fortune favors me with this mystical stone tablet, which peers into all worldly events and grasps the wisdom of past and present, or else I’d fall prey to these cursed demons."

The Ignorant Monarch placed unwavering faith in the tablet’s guidance.

This stone tablet served as his golden finger.

Trust in it guaranteed success!

Consequently, the Ignorant Monarch deviated from the Lost Monarch’s urgent proposal, and as supreme leader, initiated the tablet’s outlined strategy.

...

Shadow Battlefield.

Lost Monarch, two Demon Lords, Charactus, Star Sky Sword Saint, Mountain Giant King, Spiritual Venerable—these seven supreme powerhouses clashed in a battle that shook the shadow world to its core.

Lord of Light and Shadow, fresh to Level 10, confronted two Level 10 Early Stage Monarchs, displaying the awesome potency of his sect’s dual cultivation path.

Naturally, his seamless navigation through the shadow world amplified this advantage, much like a fish gliding through familiar waters.

Lady of Thunder and Wind Empress—these two elite Ten-Ring Senior Wizards—each took on pairs of foes, drawing upon their wizard forms, Legendary Wizard Tools, and allied spiritual beings to withstand four Monarchs.

The others holding off multiple enemies were indigenous Shadow Monarchs, excelling remarkably in their native domain.
