The Nora Civilization celebrates a decisive victory against Nightmare and the Abyss, marking a turning point in their history. While the Dusk Palace Master is hailed as a hero for his unprecedented carnage on the battlefield, the cost of success is high, with significant losses touching even the ranks of the Ancient Dragon Continent. As the dust settles, the victors turn toward reconstruction and the processing of captured foes. Levi meticulously catalogues his massive spoils, resolving to use his fallen enemies as raw materials to fortify his own strength and forge new legendary artifacts before the next inevitable conflict.

Sixty years have swiftly passed.

Nora Calendar 2472, Blood Battle 2360.

After intense combats, Nora recovers and keeps drawing in heroes from every direction. Earlier, Nora drew notice, but its accomplishments weren't sufficient to fully persuade all the universe's clans at their core.

Yet the conflict from seventy-two years prior started shifting numerous individuals' views.

During this period, countless people flock to Nora in search of chances and to enlist in the Nora Council, igniting a fresh wave.

From the start of the nightmare invasion, Nora has recorded merely three level ten casualties. Meanwhile, the Nightmare World approaches sixty.

A gap this vast goes beyond mere miracle territory.

The Dusk Palace Master’s renown echoes throughout the Multidimensional Plane for all to hear. Amid the chaos of battle, with just one person, one sword, one day... he forged a legend!

This stands as Nora’s ultimate ace, the decisive victorious treasure!

Everyone also knows.

Depending only on the Dusk Palace Master.

Regardless of his immense power, attaining that feat single-handedly remains impossible.

The unified teamwork, solidarity, and obedience to commands among every Nora member hold equal weight; it forms a power akin to an insect swarm.

Such is a civilization bound together completely in the fight for existence.

On the flip side, within the Nightmare and Abyss realms, selfish agendas prevail, with some defying orders and deserting, squandering an otherwise flawless strategy.

Countless now see Nora poised to emerge as the universe’s fifth major force. Enlisting at this moment means securing elder status once Nora rises to dominance.

The ensuing prestige and resources defy imagination.

In Seven Sins City.

Black Abyss Sovereign emerges from seclusion, shattering into the Ten-Ring Senior Realm.

Under two thousand years since his fabled rise to legend.

This conflict boosts wizards like him on the Seven Sins path.

When allocating battle gains, the Supreme Council grants him access to the Four Great Demon Lords' crystal cores as rewards, since he's the sole practitioner of that route.

Naturally, those crystal cores from the Four Great Demon Lords prove immensely valuable. As shared spoils of war, Black Abyss Sovereign can't refine them for personal use. However, through repeated study, insight, and analysis of the profound truths and laws within, he stands to gain enormously.

Previously, Black Abyss Sovereign attained legend with 66 Witch Marks.

His talent among Legendary Wizards ranks middling at best.

Yet this prime chance brightens his path toward Ten Rings Perfection.

That achievement would rank him among the Multidimensional Plane's elite powers.

In the Giant World too, he'd count as a rare combat asset.

Bronze Warlord heals from his grave wounds.

Thousand Mountains Immortal employs the divine herb seized in this clash, the Divine Heart Fruit, to brew a scarce tenth-circle elixir called Water of Rebirth.

Upon consuming it, Bronze Warlord not only restores his depleted Spiritual Origin but also boosts his power, paving the way for future breakthrough to Ten-Ring Senior.

During this fight, his legendary class as Copper Puppet Master unleashed tremendous might on vast battlefields, stalling three level ten foes despite his Ten Rings Early Stage level.

One among them reached Level 10 Middle Stage.

Excluding Levi’s extraordinary exploits, Bronze Warlord emerges as this battle's greatest wonder. He inspires the fading Metal School's rising stars.

The mighty lineage that produced Platinum Wind remains potent!

Today, Metal School boasts two Nine-Ring Perfect Great Wizards.

One serves as Body Refining Academy's dean, the White Banker, and the other, Black Iron Walker, holds a top military post; both possess potential to assail the legendary realm.

Plus, various veteran nine-ring experts.

Among them, Limit-breaking Divine Sword Victor shines brightest, teaming with Holy Infant and Gandaph to fell a level ten enemy.

Metal School's prospects gleam brightly.

The Daydreamer forges a post-legendary artifact, Sleep God’s Palace, from [Sleep God’s Relics] as core material.

Post-legend and profession fixation, legendary artifacts can still be crafted, though a second profession eludes them; the return on investment dips below pre-ascension levels. By refining Sleep God’s Palace, the Daydreamer enters Ten-Ring Senior Realm.

This comes roughly 1700 years after his legendary breakthrough.

This nightmare conflict accelerates the School of Dreams' growth twofold.

Post-battle, the Supreme Council applies the Heavenly Seizing Technique to produce over 30 Sun Refining Artifacts from the School of Dreams, rewarding key participants.

Now, School of Dreams counts 12 great wizards.

[Phantom Wind Walker] and [Dream Moon Walker], who fled the Endless Labyrinth alongside the Daydreamer, both reach Nine Rings Perfect Realm.

[Heart Moon Spirit Witch Natasha], Dream Academy head on Ancient Dragon Continent, delivered vital aid in this defense, saving a New World.

The Supreme Council awarded her the Sun Refining Artifact [Spiritual Journey]. This item delves into spiritual dream lore, matching Natasha’s specialty.

After integration, she ascends to eighth-circle wizard. She intends Spirit Faction as a side pursuit to fuel dream studies, aiming for Great Wizard status.

Daydreamer and Heart Moon Spirit Witch merely exemplify this war's many gainers. As prime victors, School of Dreams seeks to ride this momentum toward ascension, possibly rivaling or eclipsing the four classic schools!

Frost City.

Gullwig steps from the bath; the tenth-ring formations encircling her freeze under her innate Frost Power, halting their function.

Her lashes flutter faintly, slim arms clasp her bosom, her frame quivers ever so slightly.
