A new Legendary Wizard, the Burning Silence God Witch, promoted via congress resources, elevated the Burning School to three Legendaries and Nora's total to twenty-two. The Giant Stone King and Void Emperor joined as level-10 strongmen, pushing Nora's forces to eighty including allies. At the centennial meeting, Levi declared the expedition to the Nightmare as the path to shatter growth bottlenecks and preempt astral threats, with reports confirming defensive readiness.

Upon hearing Herman's report, numerous powerful beings showed looks of praise.

While the Mechanical School might lag behind certain civilizations in personal strength,

in efficiency and collective combat, these fused mechanical inventions vastly outmatch traditional fighting units. Plus, destruction brings no casualties.

They can be rapidly produced in large numbers.

Levi remarked:

"Excellent. Under the Mechanical School's safeguard, Nora stands impregnable like a bastion."

Daydreamer stated:

"TreasureDream’s Spiral has progressed even more. This supreme treasure now produces 108,000 clones at once, dispatching aid missions via the dream network to multiple areas. Should Nora not face immediate crisis, I could enter the Nightmare to bolster the front."

Wagner declared:

"Regarding Nora Dark Side, Roger Mountain is secured by me and the four Shadow Monarchs—more than sufficient to deter any foe from breaching there. Go forth confidently to the battle lines."

Levi responded:

"Indeed, safeguarding Nora is the top concern. In crises, I'll force-log certain members out for defense.

Otherwise, brace for an extended fight in the Nightmare World. Immortality doesn't mean ignore self-preservation. Relogging mid-transition squanders crucial time, forfeiting tactical edges."

The Earth Saint and Green Forest Master shared a look and said together:

"Grand Council Chairman, my spouse and I will protect Nora’s Will core, blocking monsters or demons from exploiting it."

Levi replied:

"Perfect. The Council commissioned Master Bao Long to craft [Earth Holy Shield] and [Forest Barrier] specially for you—prime treasures both. Paired with your two Legendary Wizard Tools, they'll repel elite attackers.

In dire straits, summon Nora’s Will for help. No need to fret excessively—Nora’s Will isn't weak. If escape is needed, do so."

The pair of Legendary Wizards let out soft sighs.

They understood the Grand Council Chairman still mourned the Survivor of the Vast Sea's death.

After covering key strategic assignments,

Levi turned to Emmon and stated:

"While I lead the Nightmare War, Nora relies on you."

Emmon assured:

"Have no doubts. Let's ensure seamless teamwork."

Levi rose energetically and proclaimed:

"Meeting adjourned! Nora’s grand counteroffensive era—starts now!"

...

Supreme Council directives unleashed, Nora this colossal mechanism roared into overdrive within days, shifting to war footing. Word reached the Nightmare.

The Three Emperors—Lost, Disaster, Death—convened.

"From Nora’s posture, do they intend to assault us?"

"Hmph! Such brazen audacity!"

"Nightmare has never faced such contempt in eons."

"Mobilize forces, patrol every Nightmare zone! Slaughter any Nora intruder on sight! Show them real terror!"

...

A month passed.

Black Dragon Territory lay in utter desolation long ago.

Just three Overlords lingered, blocking Nora incursions. Tree sloth-like in form—plump, swollen frames splayed out, they snored thunderously.

These were the [Three Brothers of Sloth], underlings of the [Sloth Demon Lord]. Puzzling why Nightmare stationed such guards here.

Abruptly, Flesh and Blood Mountains hummed and quaked.

The faded lord tracking mark resurfaced silently.

Lords serving the three Overlords snapped alert, staring at the Sky Dome.

A colossal black dragon spanning ten thousand miles, blotting the skies, rent the crimson-black veil and charged unyieldingly into the Nightmare World, its draconic gaze scanning below.

Dragon’s Might engulfed Black Dragon Territory.

All Nightmare Creatures there collapsed unconscious or burst apart at once.

The Overlords awoke in sheer horror.

"Wh—what in blazes is that?!"

"Seems like Dusk Palace Master! Hurry, report to Demon Lord!"

Overhead, a Great Sun blazed across the firmament, birthing a dragon inside.

The dragon plunged groundward, shifting to a ten-thousand-foot armored titan.

The Fire Dragon Knight brandished his massive blade, unleashing ’Fire Dragon Brilliance Extreme Book’!

A Great Sun-shaped sword ray tore the void, whirling ferociously.

One of the three Overlords died on impact!

The remaining pair panicked and bolted terrified.

Suddenly, a bull-strong figure mimicking myriad beasts surged forward, greatsword in grip.

Behemoth’s Trample!

A massive greatsword pounded an Overlord straight into the earth.

"Ape King Pillar!"

A towering Divine Pillar, stretching a hundred thousand feet high, thundered downward.

Perched atop the pillar stood a enormous golden ape, its eyes blazing red.

Stinking of booze, it exuded savage ferocity!

The Divine Pillar hammered down, squashing the Overlord flat like crushed garlic.

"This divine weapon, crafted from thirty thousand years of Iron True Wood, proves incredibly handy."

Emperor Mu stored the giant pillar away and flexed his body.

On a different battlefield—

Clutching the Lion King Sword, the Golden Lion Knight donned Lion Heart Armor, his grand Primordial Spirit overshadowing like a dark silhouette, releasing immense might.

A graceful sword beam descended from the level 9 Mid Stage Blood Knight.

The mightiest among the Three Brothers of Sloth, their oldest brother, likewise faced his end.

"Eat, eat, eat, eat eat eat!"

Leon bellowed while gobbling up true souls all around.

Like Jerry spotting cheese, he injected some comedy into the chaos of war.

Teams of heavily equipped Extreme Warriors swooped in.

Their armor, now at the thirtieth generation, was so cutting-edge that each knight fought like a prodigy.

The Fire Dragon Knight’s authoritative roar echoed through the battlefield:

"Kill them all. Leave not a single one alive!"

In a flash, like autumn gusts scattering leaves,

the Nightmare Creatures protecting the Black Dragon Territory got wiped out.

At the same time, the ominous black dragon emitted dark radiance, which coalesced into huge crystals spanning a million miles, encasing the entire Black Dragon Territory.
