Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2995: 610: Machine Sage Madison! On the Eve of Battle!
Previously on Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method...
A permanent sanctuary for this realm, meant to intimidate all malicious foes!
Once [Chaos Ruins] is invoked, it persists as an eternal cosmic marvel. Only those surpassing his level of Chaos Authority could ever hope to dispel it.
Mathematically speaking, this spell can maintain up to four instances simultaneously.
One anchor remains in Nora, while the other three are deployed for combat.
Levi has resolved that if the Giant World pushes him into a corner, he will embed a Pale Sun deep within the core strongholds of the Abyss, the Nightmare, and the Astral World.
Let the worlds crumble, let existence return to dust!
...
As of now.
Levi stands only a hair’s breadth away from the legendary threshold.
Refining his Chaos Artifact and forging a Legendary Profession are the final steps.While awaiting the supplies from the Succubus Queen, he continues his dedicated cultivation of the Knight Breathing Techniques, simultaneously refining and mastering his existing magic sequences.
For instance, he previously only grazed the surface of the Plague and Poison sequences to manage his progress. Now, he possesses the time to perfect them, just as he did with the Sealing Sequence.
...
Cultivation defies the passage of time.
Forty years vanish in the blink of an eye.
Nora Calendar 2400, Blood Battle 2288.
Ancient Banyan Fairyland.
Thanks to the supreme artifact [Crystal Palace], the nine-level rare treasures [Dragon Pearl] and [Star Pearl], and a variety of unique spiritual assets, the Dragon Clan’s maturation has accelerated far beyond historical norms.
The Sky Frost White Snake has attained its nine-level complete form.
Both the Immortal Banyan Dragon and the Great Flame Sparrow Dragon have now surged into the late-stage, peak realm of the eighth level.
Young, pure-blooded members of the Dragon Clan, such as the Ash Dragon, generally sit between level seven and eight.
The veteran sub-dragon elders who joined the Dragon Palace earlier, including the Black Lotus Beast and the Bloodsucking Demon Dragon, have fully matured into their final forms.
Through Levi’s persistent recruitment, the number of sixth-level Dragon Clan members in the Heavenly Realm nears one thousand, turning the Dragon Palace into something truly prestigious.
This excludes other transcendent species. In total, the Ancient Banyan Fairyland now hosts over three thousand sixth-level entities, rivaling the strength of a major civilization.
As Levi and his dragons climbed higher, the Star Dragon Spirit reached the mid-stage of level 10, while the Blood Dark Dragon Spirit sits securely at the early stage of level 10, showing constant growth. However, the Blood Battle Spirit, having lacked demons to hunt for quite some time, remains at the early stage of level 10.
Within the Shadow Dragon Group, the previous slaughter across the Shadow Battlefield triggered an epic evolution, yielding three hundred monster generals, sixteen demon kings, and four demon emperors: the Old Sea Dominator, the Sky Pool Monarch, the Sky Ugly Monarch, and the Sky Filth Monarch.
The Old Sea Dominator has successfully restored its early level 10 might, while the remaining three occupy the late ninth level and await further experience.
The Eternal Star Abyss requires only a final push to evolve into a Legendary Wizard Tool.
Furthermore, the Seven Treasures still await the consumption of Seven Elements Divine Gold.
Ultimately.
Levi requires a truly decisive battle to secure the raw materials and resources needed for himself, his summons, and his artifacts to undergo a complete transformation.
According to intel from the Pale Monarch, that day draws near.
...
Shortly thereafter.
Within the White Emperor Sky, Levi emerges from his meditation in the pure white void.
"The Blood Knight has finally reached level nine."
Deep within the first layer of the Indomitable Heaven, a scarred figure with a swift blade silences the Blood Tribulation Masters, Maya's predecessors, while perched upon his Jade Qilin Throne.
A vivid, spectral image of a colossal beast descends from the firmament.
A new Power Image is manifested.
"Congratulations, Holy Member 002."
Levi strides forward; his strength has ascended once more... The sensation of such effortless gain remains incredibly satisfying.
"Commander, I succeeded... though I failed to reach the Supreme level."
The Blood Knight admitted, his tone weary.
"Do not fret, for the Supreme path is one of destiny. Merely crossing into the Mythical tier ranks you among the elite of the Land of Darkness."
Levi offered his reassurances.
In truth, the universe maintains a strict limit on the number of Supreme combatants it can sustain, as the resources necessitated by their birth are vast.
Thus, even if the Dusk Holy Temple fostered dozens of Supreme bloodlines, only a select few might ever achieve the summit.
This is the cold, unwavering reality.
Therefore, once Nora achieves true unification and stabilizes the Multidimensional Planes, it must find new avenues for expansion to reach broader horizons.
The age of grand cosmic exploration must begin.
But that is a chapter for the future; every generation carries its own burdens, and Levi’s era must focus solely on laying the foundation.
As for the eventual conquest, that task falls to those who follow.
...
Levi and the Fire Dragon Knight remain anomalies. By comparison, the Blood Knight relied on raw talent, iron resolve, and mental fortitude, gathering his power to storm the ninth-level threshold.
The veteran members of the 18 Twilight Cavalry sit just inches away from level nine themselves. Witnessing the Blood Knight’s success bolsters their own pursuit to break through.
Ascending to level nine is simply a matter of when.
...
Land of Darkness.
Nightmare Camp.
The Lost Monarch scanned the landscape as a hundred cataclysmic auras intertwined, weaving a pressure sufficient to shatter entire worlds.
After suffering two defeats, the Nightmare World has grown cautious. For the integration with the Abyss, twenty Monarchs, including the Four Great Calamities, have been assembled.
This represents the limits of the Nightmare’s deployment. Any greater commitment might leave them vulnerable to the vultures from the Astral World looking to profit from the wreckage.
Even with Nora now a Quasi-Giant.
The Nightmare remains most wary of its ancient rival, the Astral World.
The Ignorant Monarch pondered silently.
[The Abyss has bolstered its forces to sixty level 10 combatants; combined with my own, we field one hundred and sixty, over double Nora's strength. Victory should be certain.]
The Wisdom Tablet offered further reassurance.
It gazed toward the distance, where the Abyss’s ranks were gathered.
The Succubus Queen maintained a seductive pose.
Even on the eve of war, she remained infatuated, gazing at the portrait of the youthful and handsome white-robed Sauron, looking toward the stars with a 45-degree tilt.
The writing appeared suddenly:
[All is in position, prepare to strike; eliminate the Lost first, sparing the Ignorant if required.]
...
Underworld.
The Void Nether Emperor, alongside the Nine Death Swordsman, led fifty elite level 10 warriors of the Underworld, including the Ancient Holy Light Dragon, into the raging depths of the Nether River.
Inside the Netherworld Ancestor Hall.
The grey-robed swordswoman meditated on the "Sauron Quotations."
[The Lost Monarch must fall, as it chains the Endless Labyrinth within its own flesh to siphon Nightmare Power from its inhabitants.
Its demise will liberate numerous level 9 warriors and countless lives, allowing the sealed level 10 master of the Shadow World, Shadow Fall Master, to reclaim his freedom.
The Ignorant Monarch exists as the embodiment of Blind Foolishness and serves as my tool. Life may be spared depending on the situation. It may prove useful in a pinch.
The Succubus Queen remains under my absolute command; she may act as necessary, preserving her life without exposing her true allegiance.
I possess another sleeper agent within the Abyss, a critical mechanism to subvert the Abyss Will. This piece shall remain hidden until the decisive clash.
Success in this endeavor means the Nightmare will no longer represent a mortal threat to Nora, allowing us to suppress it systematically while retaining our gains.
One uncertainty persists: the Astral World. Even if the Dark Insects occupy their left flank, the Astral World might still manipulate the situation with its right hand.
Should they join the fray, a latent agent within the Astral World will be activated to sow discord and buy us time.
If they choose to watch from the sidelines, seeking to scavenge the remains later, we proceed according to the existing plan, and no hidden trigger is necessary.]
The Nether Ancestor closed the manuscript.
Sauron’s grand design and Nora’s rising strength... the time has come to put them to the test.
Should this battle end in victory, the current equilibrium of the Multidimensional Planes will be fractured forever.
