Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 3107: 638: Supreme Hera

Abyss Will stated:

"It is achievable, yet it could also be the Revenge Star Realm. Intrigued, throughout history, moments of supremacy have resembled a grand performance, and this epoch is exceptionally spirited."

Chaos Servant responded:

"Since the Primordial Epoch, witnessing so many supreme beings coexist in a single era is unprecedented... It appears a grand manipulation is underway. My Lord, should we advance or halt to observe?"

Abyss Will appeared agitated.

"Proceed onward. Since that Ultimate Creation aids in holding back the astral world, we must capitalize on such a magnificent opportunity. Rest assured, I am fully equipped."

...

Time advanced, and 18 years transcurred.

The Nora Calendar year 3530.

The battlefield remained locked in fierce combat.

As the rapidly escalating Disaster World indiscriminately impacted both belligerents, both sides tacitly agreed to move their conflict further afield. With the assistance of the ancient tower, the Nora Alliance Army inflicted devastating blows upon the Nightmare Army, incurring minimal casualties.

To this day.

The Nora Alliance Army had lost 12 Level 10 Strongmen.

Following the departure of Mist Sky Guardian, Emperor Wanlei, a recently ascended legendary figure, also exhausted her life-saving resources and met an unfortunate end, slain by the enemy's [Dark Night Monarch], an assassin specializing in the art of subterfuge.

Emperor Wanlei disintegrated, with only mere remnants escaping, and embarked on a path of rebirth.

Dark Night Monarch, a formidable expert skilled in the Shadow and Darkness Dao, served as a hidden trump card for the Nightmare World. Its deployment presented significant challenges for Nora.

Charactus personally pursued this villain, managing to inflict injuries upon him.

Dark Night Monarch managed to escape, and its current whereabouts are unknown.

Thirty years of warfare had seen two legendary figures fall.

Such an outcome was already praiseworthy.

However, partings are invariably tinged with sorrow, and many mourned. The soldiers of Nora transformed their grief into resolute strength, engaging the enemy with tenacious determination, fighting until the very bitter end!

This was a war that allowed no retreat.

Consequently, even if the ancient tower's life-saving capabilities were fully depleted, no one would shirk their duty. A single individual's evasion might not significantly alter the overall situation.

But if such a mindset became widespread, the war could not possibly continue. Through a detrimental chain reaction, Nora's initial advantage would inevitably vanish.

Furthermore.

Among the barbarian tribes, the Eagle God Barbarian Chief met misfortune, falling victim to an ambush and sustaining severe injuries. Although the ancient tower successfully teleported him away, stabilizing his condition and preserving his life, his cultivation realm experienced a decline.

He was now dispatched to the medical division within the ancient tower for treatment.

A return to the Ten-level Realm was improbable in the immediate future, which effectively counted as the loss of a Level 10 individual.

Additionally, four more: two from the Void Holy Temple and two from the Underworld.

Thus far, the sacrifice of these 12 fallen Level 10 cultivators had accounted for the lives of 60 Monarchs, a ratio of one life for five, thereby diminishing the Nightmare's strength!

By sustaining this favorable exchange rate, complete annihilation of the Nightmare forces was within reach.

However, at this juncture, numerous life-saving opportunities for both Level 10 and Level 9 cultivators were nearing their exhaustion, and the ancient tower, operating under immense strain, was approaching its operational limits.

Without the ancient tower's teleportation capabilities, Nora's casualty rate would likely see a slight increase.

Yet, presently, the Nightmare's numerical superiority was no longer a decisive factor.

With both sides experiencing attrition, the impact was not expected to be overly severe.

The initial objective established by the Supreme Council was as follows:

At the higher echelons of power.

To annihilate the Nightmare forces at the cost of no more than 40 Level 10 cultivators and 500 Level 9 cultivators!

At the mid-to-low levels.

To preserve at least 80% of Nora's active fighting forces.

Currently, it appeared entirely feasible to surpass these targets. If Nora's supreme experts could freely address the unrest within the Disaster World without impediment, Chaos Emperor would be capable of routing the enemy forces.

Therefore, Nora's strategy had been revised once more to a defensive posture. The primary focus was on self-preservation and stalling for time to facilitate Hera's ascension, as her emergence was critical to swiftly resolving the current stalemate!

...

Within the Nightmare World.

While external factions were absorbed in their conflicts, the situation within this realm proved quite promising.

"My Lord, this is the final Big Domain in Western Nightmare... I am aware of the current hiding place of its proprietor," reported Blood Sea Mosquito Lord with a smile.

"Excellent, guide me to him."

Fingal's aura intensified with each passing moment, the majesty befitting a king fully manifesting.

Through persistent expansion over the years, the strength of the Dusk Army had tripled, conquering over 80 Big Domains within the Nightmare territory, thereby subsuming the western region, with the exception of a few specific restricted zones.

During this period, he, along with Nine Death Swordsman, Blood Sea Mosquito Lord, and other Level 10 cultivators, had collectively eliminated four Level 10 Monarchs who resisted surrender, along with dozens of Overlords.

Furthermore, two Monarchs had been subdued.

Specifically, [Panic Monarch] and [Greedy Life Monarch].

As of this moment, Fingal commanded four Monarchs and more than twenty Overlords under his banner.

The Dusk Army had unequivocally become the most dominant force within the Nightmare World.

The subjugation of the eastern, western, southern, northern, and central five major Big Domains was merely a matter of time.

Under the guidance of Blood Sea Mosquito Lord, the proprietor of this territory was soon located.

A solitary figure emerged from the desolate wilds, observing a multitude of Level 10 auras closing in. It was the [Fallen Monarch], clad in tattered rags, exuding an aura of destitution.

His strength was formidable, residing at the Level 10 Middle Stage.

The Blood Sea Mosquito Lord advanced, declaring,

"You are surrounded. Surrender now. Nightmare's annihilation is imminent; over sixty Monarchs have fallen. The tide has turned against us."

Fallen Monarch took a deep breath.

"I... I surrender."

He had always harbored a desire to avoid conflict, lacking any significant fighting spirit.

Witnessing Nightmare's current state of collapse, he felt no inclination towards a noble last stand.

In these tumultuous times, mere survival for another moment was paramount.

...

Two years elapsed.

The Nora Battlefield.

The astral world's disturbance rippled outward like a colossal earthquake.

Other supreme powerhouses registered the phenomenon, but the ongoing conflict between Nightmare and Nora had already obscured the heavens, drawing everyone's attention away from its potential significance.

Hera's ascension site.

"Let us perish together!"

With a world-shattering self-immolation, a Level 10 Late Stage Monarch met his end amidst enraged howls. The resultant shockwave obliterated a swathe of Level 10 combatants.

This was the Fallen Lord, cornered by Thousand Mountains Immortal, Light Ancient Saint Emperor, and other Level 10 Middle Stage adversaries, all of whom felt a tremor of unease in their hearts.
