Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 3066: 628: Offensive and Defensive Reversal!
Previously on Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method...
A brand-new Legendary Wizard has just arisen within the Burning School of Thought.
[Burning Silence God WitchHorn].
Bald-headed with fiery red eyebrows and a red beard, he carries a somewhat elderly appearance.
His upper torso remains half-bared, draped in a red robe from the waist down, much like a body-refining wizard.
Yet, in truth, he remains a spell wizard.
He merely favors the brutal combat style favored by body-refining wizards.
Upon ascending to Legendary rank, inspiration surged within him, birthing the [Angry Fire Burning Venerate] profession—one that unleashes devastating Furious Flame Iron Fist strikes!
His Legendary Demiplane bears the name [Burning Sky Realm]. His legendary honorific rings as [Flame Fist that Shatters Shackles, Fury that Obliterates Worlds].
The Legendary Wizard Tool proves uniquely distinctive—a pair of gloves.
Its name is [Grip of Fury].The legendary path pursued by the Burning Silence God Witch mirrors that of the Seven Sins Swordsman.
Yet his focus sharpens solely on the Path of Fury.
This breakthrough stemmed from gains in a prior war.
The congress seized the [Furious Monarch] from the Primordial Demon Lord.
This prize propelled the Burning Silence God Witch into legendary heights at last.
Levi beheld this Legendary Wizard for the first time and offered a smile:
"Congratulations on attaining legendary status, sir."
The Burning Silence God Witch replied with genuine gratitude:
"My thanks to the congress, and to the Grand Council Chairman."
Without the congress's aid, legendary ascension would have eluded him.
He grasped this reality deeply.
Naturally, the congress invests in talent without expectation of charity.
Legendaries elevated through congress resources owe absolute loyalty—to the congress, to Nora, and to the Grand Council Chairman—serving them devotedly.
Thus, the Burning School of Thought now boasts 3 Legendary Wizards.
The tally of living Legendary Wizards climbs to 22.
Furthermore, a level-10 powerhouse known as [Giant Stone King] has arrived.
A companion to the Giant Wood King, he stands as a rare lone warrior from an alien race.
To evade the Great Tribulation of war earlier, he had fled beyond the Pan-Plane.
Yet he later perceived Nora's potential to withstand the giants.
Rumors hold that the Giant Stone King has endured for twenty-seven thousand years.
He lingers at Level 10 Middle Stage presently, with Late Stage ascension rivaling heavenly impossibility.
To advance yet further into supreme might.
Convinced by the Giant Wood King, he resolved to stake everything.
After all, mere millennia remain in his lifespan.
Levi regarded the final new level-10 newcomer with a smile.
A shimmering emperor in vibrant hues sat there with reserved poise.
It was none other than the long-absent Void Emperor!
Leader of the Void Spirit Clan.
"Greetings, Grand Council Chairman."
Levi nodded faintly, his smile warm:
"Welcome aboard, welcome indeed."
The Worm Lord had swayed the Void Emperor to join.
Originally, it sought to steer its clan clear of all worldly strife.
But witnessing the Worm Lord's prosperity under Nora's banner, bolstered by evident power gains.
Temptation stirred within it briefly.
Besides, horrors beyond imagination had erupted outside the Pan-Plane.
Ironically, the Pan-Plane interior now felt the securest refuge.
Thus, it surrendered willingly, aligning with Nora and pledging service to atone for past deeds.
The Supreme Council, after deliberation, extended mercy without undue harshness.
In these dire eras, Nora craves talent desperately.
Of course, the Void Emperor swore unbreakable loyalty at the round table to forestall any treachery.
Consequently, Nora's Level 10 powerhouses number 67.
Together with the Void Holy Temple, the total surges to 80.
Now, the explosive growth from prior war spoils begins to taper.
Post the Grand Wizards reaching 360, advancement pace has notably decelerated.
The nine-level alien races bottleneck at 630.
Few observant powerhouses linger abroad any longer.
Hence, to swiftly bolster might, outward expansion becomes essential.
Gathering vital resources to nurture Nora's homegrown elites.
On this centennial gathering day.
Levi convened all to deliberate this vital issue.
Circling the round table, alongside the 67 Supreme Council powerhouses and the Void Holy Temple's envoy [Star Sky Sword Saint], additional attendees joined the discourse.
Among them, Herman, granted supreme privileges by his unique position.
Through centuries of development, his power has surged anew.
This elevates both the span and ferocity of [Mechanical Divine Descent].
Though solitary in form, he wields the might of over a dozen level 10s. With Heavenly Net unable to pierce the Nightmare, he excels in steadfast tower-defense guardianship of home.
In expeditions abroad, the Mechanical School forms Nora's pivotal defensive backbone.
A handful of non-level-10 attendees were present too, each leading major civilizations. Take [Star Splitter], for instance—with Level 9 Late Stage Cultivation, he represents the Seven-Colored Scale Clan.
With everyone assembled, Levi announced:
"This meeting's sole agenda item is the Expedition to the Nightmare! Over 700 years of dormancy and expansion have brought Nora to a fresh bottleneck.
Should this pace hold, in thousands or even tens of thousands of years, we might command over a hundred level-10 powerhouses, almost two thousand level-9 ones, and close the chasm with those colossal forces... but such time is a luxury we lack.
The astral world could soon escape the insect plague, freeing it to turn its full might on Nora. Our surge in power already endangers its supreme rule.
Hence, steady progress won't suffice. We must strike boldly, chart an audacious course, and launch the expedition to the Nightmare as the plan's bold opening move!
Report the preparedness of your departments, everyone.
Now, let's deliberate on the optimal timing and precise tactics."
These words sparked excitement or tension among the powerhouses.
Herman responded:
"The Heavenly Net now blankets all 113,216 New Worlds of Nora completely. I can summon the mechanical divine descent of 15 Mechanical Celestials at once to shield Nora. On top of that, the Mechanical School has toiled relentlessly, forging 108 [Nora Guards] at level-9 power to secure key facilities and nodes while bolstering frontlines. We command over 3,000 Star Castles of every grade, with 24 mother forts armed with level-9 Star Annihilation Cannons..."
