Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2981: 607: Ancient Tower Master!

Lou Luo Saint King declared:

"The Nightmare Army withdrew from the Shadow Battlefield... Nora secured the win. The Dusk Palace Master rose to level-10, using his strength solo to drive back more than thirty Monarchs."

Bo Ruo Saint King showed astonishment:

"What? Wasn't he merely level 9 a thousand years back? Even selecting a day for Divine Enthronement and a swift Ascension needs plenty of setup time, doesn't it? How exactly did he accomplish it?"

Spirit Heart Saint King remarked:

"This complicates things a lot. Could Nora pull off a surprise triumph? Nightmare dispatched over eighty Monarchs; how did they fail to claim victory?"

Lou Luo Saint King shared more grim intelligence:

"Following the clash in the Shadow World, they humbled themselves by fusing into Nora’s Dark Side. Now, the top powerhouses in the Nora Council likely surpass fifty in number. It’s turned into a quasi-Giant level world. What’s our next move..."

Undying Saint King inquired:

"How fares the astral world? Isn’t the Lord of Storm an ally to the Golden Ancient Tree? Should Nora launch an invasion, the astral world won’t just watch idly, will it?"

Xuanjia Saint King stated:

"We ought to brace for the direst outcomes and avoid pinning everything on the astral world. I propose rousing the Golden Will and seeking a path to escape alongside the Sacred Realm."

Heavenly Wisdom Saint King, silent until now, parted his eyelids:

"Evacuate? To what destination?"

"The Multidimensional Plane stretches endlessly; there must be spots for us to establish ourselves?"

"The Universe possesses limits. Actually, our current coordinates sit at the fringes of the Multidimensional Plane, with infinite emptiness beyond; it forms the border where this Universe meets another, a realm of turmoil and disorder from clashing principles. Your level 10 fighting prowess there could drop to below level 9."

"Yet we can’t simply await doom."

"Stay calm... Start by awakening the Golden Will. Should the ancient entity advance to Supreme, it could offer us protection. The Sacred Realm has weathered countless Great Tribulations and still shines brightly, and once the Dusk Palace Master reaches Supreme, that will spell his end.

Have faith in me; excluding the Underworld, the Supreme Wills of the remaining Three Realms will surely step in. Nora appears mighty, but it’s just prey being fattened by the Giants.

All the worlds Nora has swallowed and the riches plundered from the Giants shall revert to them during the Grand Reckoning.

History shows that those who bide their time from the sidelines love to allow things to unfold before harvesting the rewards; it’s an eternal principle!"

...

Abyss.

The succubus queen roused from slumber on a bed of violet clouds, lounging on her side, her hand caressing her curvaceous thigh, a slender, cigarette-resembling item between her lips as she puffed out wisps of smoke.

"Queen, when do we strike at Nora?"

"Why the haste? Didn’t you notice the Dusk Palace Master hitting level-10? Given his strategies and the Nora Council’s capabilities, we stand no chance against them yet."

"So... do we keep enlisting more?"

"No, we’ll bide our time for the perfect opportunity."

All at once, two fearsome presences manifested beyond the demon encampment. A band of demon lords climbed Demon Mountain, alert and on guard.

Lost Monarch and Ignorant Monarch.

The expressions of the demon powerhouses shifted uneasily.

"Two among the Four Emperors have shown up—what’s the intent here?"

"How did they learn of our location?"

"I recall Ignorant Monarch grasps knowledge of events past, present, and future, wielding profound insight—their divinations could have uncovered us."

"The Abyss boasts its own sages, regrettably they refuse to appear."

The pair of Monarchs held back from assaulting, while the demon elites awaited their leader’s presence.

Shortly, the succubus queen arrived with elegant poise. Having surpassed layer 660 in the Abyss, she wielded strength rivaling the Four Emperors, thus fearing neither of these visitors.

"What distinguished visitors." The queen laughed with seductive charm.

Ignorant Monarch cut straight to the point:

"Are you open to allying to crush Nora first, then competing on our merits afterward?"

The queen responded, "I’m not keen on that."

Lost Monarch pivoted to depart; he’d harbored slim expectations for any partnership from the outset.

Ignorant Monarch continued:

"Do you believe we’ll allow your plan to reap benefits as the opportunistic third party to pan out?"

A scroll unfurled in the succubus queen’s thoughts.

[Alliance feasible; this presents an ideal juncture to inflict severe harm on Nightmare...]

The succubus felt a surge of interest, and with a sly smile forming, she declared:

"I’m open to cooperating, though I demand certain terms."

"What terms?"

The succubus queen leaned close to Ignorant Monarch’s ear, her breath warm and hushed—words audible solely to him.

Upon learning the terms, Ignorant Monarch’s brow creased faintly.

The queen radiated boundless temptation, her pleasure aura making numerous level-10 demons in the rear pant with desire.

It embodied the pinnacle of seductive might in the world. Even Lost Monarch, a Four Emperor, felt a stir.

Ignorant Monarch queried the tablet in his consciousness.

[Accept the succubus queen’s proposal; this is the optimum instant to deal major blows to the Abyss...]

Observing this, Ignorant Monarch gained confidence and offered a faint smile.

"Fine, I accept."

...

At the same time.

Underworld, Netherworld Ancestor Hall.

The swordswoman in grey robes finished her bath and attire, spotting the ‘Sorren Quotations’ on the desk humming and glowing intensely, a phenomenon she’d grown accustomed to over time.

She flipped open the Sorren Quotations, where fresh lines of script materialized.

[Abyss and Nightmare could form an alliance, amassing more than one hundred twenty Level 10 powerhouses, set to assault Nora. Abyss stands as the Underworld’s avowed foe—Nightmare partnering with them permits us to forsake neutrality and strike.

Both Abyss and Nightmare nurse hidden agendas. Their pact is bound to collapse, yielding scant results; the Underworld may join forces with Nora.

Grasp this opening to inflict profound damage on Abyss and Nightmare, for it’s a pivotal confrontation, and triumph here could herald a major shift in our cause.
