Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2997: 611: Slaying the Four Calamity Lords, A Massacre!

In contrast, the Dusk Palace Master excels as both a Wizard and Knight; by blending offensive and defensive mastery, their combat capabilities are truly comprehensive. Within the Shadow Battlefield, they have already rapidly neutralized numerous level-10 entities, serving as the critical catalyst for success in this conflict.

It is imperative that we dedicate our efforts to containing the enemy’s late-stage level-10 combatants. This will provide the necessary space for the Dusk Palace Master to traverse the theater of war, offering mobile support and acting as our primary spearhead.

To put it simply, every one of you must focus on two main objectives.

First, maintain tight coordination with your unit to ensure both your own safety and that of your allies.

Second, exert maximum pressure to restrain the enemy’s most dangerous forces.

Since we are at a disadvantage against such powerful foes, avoid taking unnecessary risks in pursuit of kills; such overreaching creates openings and vulnerabilities, which the enemy will surely capitalize on to dismantle our ranks.

Prioritize defensive formations.

Leave the tactical maneuvering and offensive strikes to the Dusk Palace Master.

Upon hearing these instructions, every gaze shifted toward Levi. Some looked on with disbelief, others with doubt, yet the majority felt a flicker of hope—a belief that the individual before them held the power to turn the tides.

Levi took a deep, steadying breath, feeling the weight of the moment pressing down upon him.

"I shall give my all. If anyone requires reinforcement, do not hesitate to call upon me. I also possess several summoned creatures capable of providing combat support."

Though he seemed to stand alone, in truth, he carried a vast arsenal, including the Spirit of the Twin Dragons, the Blood Battle Spirit, his Shadow Army, and the Seven Treasures.

For now, their primary objective is the protection of our allies; despite the secret aid from the Underworld, Nora remains technically on the back foot.

Once all tactical arrangements were finalized, Edmund concluded:

"Ladies and gentlemen, place your faith in Levi’s strength and in the wisdom of Sauron. Since the onset of the first Blood Battle, the power of Nora has surged several times over.

Up to this point, we have dodged any decisive disasters. While it appears Nora is being passive in the face of the Great Tribulation, we are, in essence, dictating the tempo of this engagement.

Fight with courage and respect for the lives around you, but do not let fear override your duty. Trust in our mission and be confident in these new worlds.

The Netherworld Ancestor has decreed that any level-10 warrior who displays honor in this conflict, even should they fall, will have their true soul preserved by the Underworld, granting them a chance at reincarnation for a second round of Cultivation—this opportunity is exclusive to this war.

This is the greatest show of sincerity the Underworld can provide.

Naturally, starting the path of Cultivation anew is fraught with uncertainty. Future lives are mysteries, while maintaining one’s current life is the ideal path; I trust no one will seek an end to their lives needlessly.

Finally, may victory be ours... Nora will never fall!"

...

The Land of Nora.

Level-10 figures soared into the firmament, plunging into the darkness to intercept the incoming hostile tide.

Hundreds of level-9 experts traversed the Continent Bridge to assume their guard posts. Their mission was to safeguard the critical infrastructure, supernovas, and vital sectors of the New World.

Tens of thousands of elite level-6 forces deployed to various staging grounds, tasked with maintaining array formations, organizing battle groups, and setting traps, ready for the clash.

Star Castles erupted from the earth and ascended into the skies, gathering civilians, the elderly, and the wounded to bring them to safety.

Across the oceans, billions of mechanical units maintained 24-hour patrols, supported by members of the School of Insects Wizards directing their Zerga.

In a remarkably short window, leveraging both technology and arcane knowledge, the entirety of Nora moved into a state of combat readiness that once seemed impossible.

...

Sauron Continent.

Only two individuals sat upon the Tower of Heaven, facing one another.

The Blazing Star God Witch let out a sigh:

"When this war concludes, who knows how many new worlds will be erased."

The Daydreamer replied:

"We can only do what we must; such is the reality of war."

These two Legendary Wizards, tasked with containing level-9 demons and the Nightmare Overlord respectively, understood the scale of the challenge. Nora has expanded so significantly that protecting the entire territory—even with superior artifacts—is unfeasible. We must limit our focus to securing the regions surrounding the Sorren Continent.

All other peripheral zones are under the vigilant oversight of Nora’s level-9 defenders.

At present, the territory boasts 260 Grand Wizards, 350 level-9 aliens, and over 1,000 battle groups possessing level-9 defensive strength.

With the Continental Bridge as a conduit, rapid reinforcement across the New World is guaranteed.

...

The Land of Darkness.

A massive deluge, consisting of 60 level-10 demons and 100 Nightmare Monarchs, surged forward from both flanks to lay siege to the steadily expanding realm of Nora.

As the force advanced, they reached the defensive line marked by [Nora’s Sun] and [Dusk Sword River], where 70 formidable figures waited, their aura reaching into the clouds.

The force was led, naturally, by Edmund.

He stood atop the Sun, radiating a brilliance that outshone the Sun God of the astral world. Flanked by the Frost Witch and the Heavenly Will, he displayed unshakeable resolve.

Above the Dusk Sword River, Levi occupied the Golden Throne, gazing down at the approaching Nightmare and demon legions while casually cleaning his Crimson Dragon Slash.

The Lost Monarch swept the area with a sharp perception.

From its estimation, this assault should proceed without issue.

It could detect no other hidden powerhouses concealed within the void nearby.

No reinforcements from the astral realm were apparent; had they arrived, the divine aura of those insects would have been detectable from vast distances. Perhaps some had emerged from the Underworld.

Yet their numbers could not be high; the Underworld maintains only around 200 Holy Emperors total, and they would have sent a mere fraction, keeping the majority to defend their home base.

Otherwise, the remaining forces of the Nightmare and the Abyss could exploit the Underworld’s vulnerability, launch an invasion, and penetrate directly to the Netherworld Ancestor Hall, leading to catastrophic results.

Broadly speaking, with the astral domain absent, the Nightmare and Abyss alliance had nothing to fear. Even if the Dusk Palace Master proved formidable, at most, it would only be a late-stage or peak level-10 power.

Once that threat was contained, their numerical superiority in level-10 entities would allow them to shatter our lines, picking off Nora’s defenders one by one and securing a crushing victory.
