Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 3044: 623: Emperor Who Rules Chaos, Traveler of the Multi-Dimensional Space!
Previously on Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method...
The Land of Darkness.
Three level-10 auras were lurking near Nora.
These beings possessed grotesque forms.
One resembled a massive centipede, featuring women's heads at the ends of its countless legs—a colossal thousand-legged beast.
The second appeared as a toad, its skin riddled with oozing blisters and honeycomb-like pits, where horrific venomous bugs slithered in and out, giving it a terrifying aspect.
The third took the shape of a spiked venomous serpent, its tail mimicking a scorpion's fiery stinger, flicking a frosty tongue while directing icy stares.
Thousand-legged Poison Lord, Thousand-Pocked Poison Lord, Thousand-Pronged Poison Monarch.
They represented the innate dread every creature feels for poisons.
Nightmare Land—talent overflows.
Beyond the Seven Sins Demon Lords and Five Calamity Lords, the Five Poison Lords exist too.
Apart from this trio, Thousand Palace Poison Monarch and Thousand Hooks Poison Monarch remain.
Strengths differ among them.
Thousand Palace Poison Monarch and Thousand Hooks Poison Monarch stand as the mightiest, both at level-10 Mid Stage.
These three, however, sit at level-10 Early Stage.
Combined, the five lords can rival a level-10 Late Stage elite powerhouse with ease.
Historical accounts even note their victories in such clashes.
Of course, historical events played a role—
Thousand Palace Poison Monarch fell fighting the Abyss, struck down by the Dark Spider Mother.
Thousand Hooks Poison Monarch died in the astral realm, slain by the Poison Scorpion Goddess.
In the end, this trio got selected for the assault on Nora.
Not the most powerful, the Three Poison Lords excel in stealth and toxins.
They spread poisons undetected via dreams, without sending their actual bodies into Nora or using true forms to invade inhabitants' dreams. Thus, they hide safely in the Land of Darkness, causing chaos freely.
"Ten years we've plagued Nora, causing heaps of chaos, yet no one's hunted us down. Nora must be truly doomed."
"Right, the Dusk Palace Master has probably perished."
"Nora amounts to zilch without the Dusk Palace Master!"
"Heh heh heh, keep going—let's see who slays more pests."
Intoxicated by victory, the Three Poison Lords ignored the approaching threat.
They believed themselves perfectly hidden, yet Levi’s Perception detected them effortlessly.
Be it his Nightmare Emperor Dragon Power or fresh legendary abilities—
Nothing below Supreme lurking near Nora escaped his notice!
Rumble! The void trembled fiercely, startling the Three Poison Lords.
A wave of peril crashed over them, causing their cores to shudder.
"Supreme?"
"No way! Damn it, maybe Emmon tracked us."
"Whoever it is, flee!"
In unison, the Three Poison Lords bolted in separate directions.
No direct combat on Nora's turf—that much was clear.
Alerting the Supreme Council meant getting encircled and obliterated.
This Nightmare incursion aimed at hit-and-run tactics.
Only after confirming the Dusk Palace Master's demise would they unleash a total offensive and swarm en masse.
Chaos Dimension.
Hands clasped behind his back, Levi observed the three lords fleeing like scattered vermin.
A disdainful smirk tugged at his lips.
His left hand aimed eastward, right hand westward.
"Nine Palace Sealing!"
"Ice Dragon Prison!"
Since achieving legendary status, Levi hadn't developed fresh Legendary Spells.
Just the technique [Chaos Ruins].
A forbidden art—immense might, yet it reduced all loot to chaotic dust.
Levi reserved this ultimate weapon for dire straits.
Currently, ninth-circle spells and innate abilities fit him perfectly.
Every new legendary wizard endured this adaptation phase.
Eastward, Thousand-legged Poison Lord sped away desperately.
Suddenly, a Nine Palace Eight Trigrams array ignited, spanning ten thousand miles.
"Planning to take me captive?"
Thousand-legged Poison Lord felt profoundly offended.
"Who exactly are you?"
"Has the Dusk Palace Master come back?"
Its form fragmented into myriad toxic bugs, scattering every which way.
A single escapee meant revival.
Rumble! The Nine Palace Bagua Map extended rapidly.
Its speed trapped every insect inside.
Space then folded inward.
Two hundred thousand miles of emptiness compressed into a globe.
The sphere rotated gently, gleaming with starry lights.
Inside, a minuscule insect writhed futilely.
Levi's breakthrough vaulted him from lesser legend to Ten-Ring Senior.
His magic drew from supreme Chaotic Power.
Truth be told, his ninth-circle spells surpassed typical tenth-circle Legendary spells. Trapping the Poison Lord briefly posed no issue.
Whoosh!
The dark orb soared to Levi’s hand.
Horror gripped the trapped Thousand-legged Poison Lord, followed by utter hopelessness.
"Impossible! Surviving Tribulation and returning now?"
"He triumphed ages ago, hiding it all along."
"A ploy from start—Nora's faked weakness entirely!"
Moments later, consciousness slipped away.
White Emperor Star Palace's prison welcomed another inmate.
Deep Cold Demon King, Skyfire Monarch, and four others glanced across.
Red Land Calamity Monarch exclaimed,
"Thousand-legged Poison Lord, you too?"
Thousand-legged Poison Lord slumped down, gasping faintly, whispering,
"You're alive after all..."
Red Land Calamity Monarch looked away.
Centuries of captivity under Levi tormented him.
For a being of millions of years—
No stretch felt as agonizing as these centuries.
Death loomed inevitable...
Powerless against it. Despair and dread overwhelmed him.
Thus, the Fear Monarch himself tasted fear.
With one swift move, Levi seized Thousand-legged Poison Lord alive.
Thousand-Pronged Poison Monarch felt his kin's presence vanish, chilling his soul.
"Emmon or Levi—no other possibility."
A frosty gleam cut through shadows, targeting Thousand-Pronged Poison Monarch.
"Forest of Poison!"
Venom-laced bones erupted, instantly forming a eerie green woodland of bony colossal trees, overshadowing tens of thousands of miles of sky.
