Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2980: Ancient Tower Master

Ten years fly by in the blink of an eye.

Nora Calendar Year 2212, marking the 2100th year of the Blood Battle.

Within the Emperor’s Palace, Elena's abdomen expands daily, as the three young ones Levi once called 'brats' continue to develop inside.

Observing the embryos taking on more human-like forms, Levi breathed a sigh of relief; at least, they weren't hatching as three dragons...

This indicates that Levi remains fundamentally a being with a humanoid nature.

The gestation for this pregnancy demands a full century, so to safeguard Elena and their offspring, he relocated the Tower of Summer Flowers beneath the massive banyan tree in the Ancient Banyan Fairyland.

Up to now, the pregnancy has not impeded Elena's routine meditation for cultivation, unless she dives into fierce battles.

Yet Elena senses distinctly that her cultivation progress has slowed lately, since much of her vital energy and life force goes toward fostering the three children.

For wizards, births produce mortal children, with pregnancies lasting no more than ten months, though the chances of inborn talents increase.

Nevertheless, beyond level 9, knight births transform due to the bloodline essence's dramatic evolution, resembling those of mythical beings. The demands and energy involved, either during or post-delivery, vastly surpass wizards', inflicting severe damage on the mother.

Post-delivery, Elena must recover for no less than a century to restore her depleted essence, relying on medicinal aids.

Chiefly, his unparalleled bloodline proves overwhelmingly potent.

Naturally, advantages exist too, akin to the pure-blood Dragon Clan, where newborns emerge robust, potentially at rank five or even level six.

In untamed lands, such strength boosts the offspring's chances of survival.

During her recovery period after birth, Elena's cultivation routine lightens, freeing her to delve into medical studies, with Triss visiting frequently to guide her, all while excitedly anticipating the infants' arrival. Soon enough, Elena cleared the ninth-circle pharmacist test.

In moments of relaxation, Elena enjoys games of mahjong and poker alongside Mana, Martha, Black Phoenix, and the rest, enriching her inner world immensely.

At the same time, Levi works steadily to solidify his spiritual force level, while devising the next Chaos Sequence Magic spells, also expecting the succubus queen to fulfill her promise.

In this interval, he carefully catalogs the spoils from the Shadow War.

To start, the materials from the Nightmare Monarchs.

Besides the Pale Monarch he released, the Sky Pool, Sky Stench, and Sky Filth Monarchs yielded abundant materials. These can craft divine weapons, enhance Legendary Wizard Tools—including Levi’s own wizard tower—and fuel the advancement of the Seven Treasures.

Following that, the Nightmare Crystals, totaling three.

Sky Pool Crystal, Sky Stench Crystal, Sky Filth Crystal, each harboring blended rules from domains such as space, poison, plague, fear, and others.

Like Abyss Demon Cores, these crystals encapsulate the Monarchs' core essence, holding inherent knowledge perfect for wizards to grasp spells. Even if fully comprehended and no longer needed, they suit Weapon Refinement.

At present, Levi holds two level-10 Abyss Demon Cores and four Nightmare Crystals, aiming to gather further to forge a Cosmic Level rare treasure.

Then comes the Illusion Artifact, just a single item.

Named [Night Light Pot], it was forged by the Stink brothers, consuming vast amounts of heart power and boasting strong effects.

This vessel holds the brothers' repulsive power, featuring a distinctive ability to corrupt supreme treasures and wizard tools. Sealed within, the item swiftly gets tainted, either weakening or irreparably harming it.

Moreover, the Night Light Pot can unleash its entire foul power in one burst, creating a stench domain spanning tens of thousands of miles.

In that domain, foes' senses dull, aiding escape or strikes from our allies. Employed cleverly, it delivers stunning results, on par with the [Night Barrier Bead].

Beyond these, assorted minor items remain.

Encompassing materials from Nightmare Creatures, crystals, and the ancient hoards of rare treasures, herbs, ores, and resources, valued over 10 trillion in total.

Some fell to ruin in the massive clash, leaving Levi with deep regret. Recalling it, he tosses and turns sleepless, smacking his thigh in frustration time and again.

The rest of the rewards seem minor by comparison.

On this particular day, following routine, Levi examines Elena’s belly and the babies' status—a boy and two girls, everything progressing well.

Elena inquired:

"Have you settled on names yet?"

"Not yet, we have ample time left, let's decide gradually."

"I’m eager for it, wishing they all come out lovely, or else we'd resort to body-altering spells, which feels lackluster."

"Rest easy, with your beauty and my looks, our children won't be unattractive."

Throughout the pregnancy, Elena has grown chattier.

Levi engages with her patiently.

Right now, Nora's position appears even more dire than in the prior three Blood Battles, as the Giants have seen Nora’s might and won't take it lightly.

When they act, it'll be with overwhelming force.

For this trip into the Dark Ancient Tower, Levi plans to perfect the [Nora Ark], gaining full command of the ancient tower, and by the way, uncover the secrets of the tenth floor.

He senses instinctively that Sauron hid valuable items there.

The ancient tower forms Sauron’s backup for the Heavenly Chopping plot, acting as a sanctuary for Levi and the Nora Wan Clan, even if Levi reaches level-10, he's not fully confident about what lies ahead.

The Giants remain invincible across eras.

No matter the schemes or strategies.

Against sheer dominance, all prove futile.

...

Golden Sacred Realm.

Under the immense ancient tree, five Sacred Kings gather seated on the earth.

A beam of golden light touches down, revealing Lou Luo Saint King. Its expression looks somber, making the other five Sacred Kings' hearts drop.
