Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 3026: 618: Lord of Northern Abyss!
Previously on Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method...
The clan flourished, talents arising one after another.
Class over, Gandaph headed back to his dwelling.
His mind slipped into the Black Soul Demon Tower. Chains woven from billions of undead souls rained down from the heavens, binding three beasts radiating late-stage level 9 auras.
These consisted of the Ice Demon, Black Thunder Demon, and Chain Demon.
The Gondor Three Heroes teamed up, not merely striking back at the Clamp Sea Demon King, but each separately subduing numerous level 9 demons and Nightmare Overlords, refining them into strange oddities.
"Ice Demon can be refined into [Ice God’s Muscle], Black Thunder Demon into [Thunder God’s Horn], and Chain Demon into [Golden God’s Bone].
By merging with the earlier Dragon God, Wild God, Ghost God, and Giant God secured before, these four legendary artifacts will combine to shape the initial form of my Legendary Artifact.
Plus integrating the [Blood Tai Sui Bone] drawn from the lottery rewards. This lays the base for my ultimate path. Henceforth, it will keep evolving deeper and more potent, claiming the essence of gods and demons to bolster myself!"
Body refinement to the ninth circle offers no past examples to follow.
Gandaph refuses to mimic the ancients in crafting artifacts; he forges oddities from scratch. Someday, these fresh oddities will join the "guide" to aid descendants....
Three years afterward.
"What a fitting wizard tower for a master—behold that dazzling treasure radiance; even a random piece here counts as a Ninth Ring Wizard Tool out of reach for most."
Two figures unseen for ages stood before the Exquisite Pagoda: Alexandra and Elsie, dragon-descended witches now at senior eighth-circle levels.
In usual times, their aptitudes capped them at sixth circle. Reaching their present heights required gratitude to this abundant era and a key patron's support.
That patron was Ace.
A purple-robed holy infant emerged, mounted on flowing purple qi.
"Long time no see."
"Master, your spiritual force feels ever more profound and distant to us. Are you close to legendary...?" Alexandra uttered with admiration.
The holy infant answered modestly:
"Far from it, merely a small advancement. Attain ninth ring, and you’ll see the road to legend outstrips the sum of all prior rings."
"Ah, ninth ring—so distant."
Both women approached 3500 years old. Having ingested Thousand-Year Potions to stretch lifespans to 5000 years, ninth ring in the remaining 1500 years stayed questionable.
Even amid plentiful resources, ninth ring remained scarce.
Early on, their talents fell short of elite geniuses, idling away prime years. Late surges couldn’t rival figures like the Sky Dragon Wizard.
Incidentally, the wizard once terrified by the Three-Headed Dragon Abomination lately stepped into Great Wizard rank, now serving as [Skywalker] in the Blood Battle Command Center.
Time races by—three thousand years since the first ancient tower unlocked. Scant contemporaries of Levi persist today.
Still, survivors hit at least senior eighth ring, Perfection stage.
Standouts among them rose to Great Wizard stature.
The holy infant’s gaze sharpened skyward as he spoke:
"Nora keeps ascending. Often, the right era outweighs toil or talent... If haughty gods and demons hit level 10, why not us humans? Merely resources divide us.
Are kings born to rule?
Our prospects dwell in the Giant World.
Back now, dive into forging weapons. In centuries, Nora unleashes grand plans; wizard tools and potions demand will explode. Amass wealth, hoard oddities, strive onward—you can claim Great Wizard status."
The holy infant’s counsel kindled fire in the women’s hearts.
This vision marks the master; the powerful scorn their lot.
Should heaven withhold, I seize it outright!
During their exchange, the Ancient Dragon Continent faced fresh upheaval.
Chaos stirred from Starfire Wizard Academy’s direction.
Ace muttered:
"Level 9 Catastrophe... Garcia’s trial."
Grinning, he added:
"Follow me; witness a true inspiration."
His hand swept out; Amethyst Light cloaked the duo, hurtling toward the Ancient Dragon Continent.
...
The colossal black giant clam wizard form braced the firmament, defying the tribulation.
Garcia’s expression turned grave.
"I will claim ninth ring!"
Resolve burned within; mere century-plus till doom loomed.
In a desperate charge, he seized this breakthrough ere Death claimed him.
His rank ensured Thousand-Year Potions aplenty, yet he spurned them—urgency forbade complacency.
He relished defying life’s brink.
It fueled triumph over fate!
Garcia’s tenacity shone unmatched.
From the ancient tower emerged Levi, smiling.
"Success, as anticipated."
Organization elders hurried in to congratulate.
Ace told the women:
"His starting talent lagged far behind yours."
They smiled bitterly:
"We know the Black Pearl Boy’s legend—an extraordinary soul."
Eventually, the tribulation faded.
Garcia sensed his renewed holy soul and body.
Self-mockingly, he declared:
"At last; likely the slowest Great Wizard ascension in millennia... My thanks—without the organization, Garcia couldn’t have done it."
Levi replied:
"Congratulations, sir. Lifespan now reaches six thousand years."
Garcia wryly grinned habitually:
"This caps me. Senior ninth ring would be feat enough. Ninth ring Perfection? Potions might allow striving for it.
Legend? Unattainable."
Levi smiled silently.
Such words Garcia uttered nine times before...
Then, comrades and disciples approached to celebrate.
