Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 3111: 639: Nightmare’s Defeat
Previously on Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method...
He peered into his own mind.
The primordial soul, pure white, flickered like a candle flame in a strong breeze.
Threads of origin spiritual power continued to pour into it.
"Ancestor Body..."
He retrieved a bottle of Rejuvenation Potion.
This was acquired from the council's treasury prior to their departure.
Upon consuming it.
A slight, visible recovery of his origin spiritual power occurred, but considering his immense scale, one bottle of the medicine was far from sufficient... and the congress had no more to offer.
Eighty years of relentless warfare had depleted.
The legendary Rejuvenation Potions were completely exhausted. Not just these, but a multitude of similar divine medicines were in severe shortage, with replenishment struggling to match consumption.
"Thousand Mountains Immortal..."
The thought of the elders who had nurtured his growth passing away brought.
Levi a pang of discomfort.
He temporarily abandoned the exceedingly costly Ancestor Form.
Levi reverted to his previous appearance as a black-armored swordsman.
The price for burning spiritual force was considerable.
Even without the Klein Crystal Ball, he could ascertain his spiritual force had diminished somewhat, a fact he dismissed as it could be recovered in a few hundred years anyway.
Not to mention, following this conflict, he would be able to forge numerous legendary artifacts.
And those fragments of Disaster Stone were indeed valuable assets.
Time flowed onward, three days elapsed swiftly.
Levi took a brief respite, examining his physical condition. Aside from the depletion in his origin, another unhealed injury persisted within him.
Gazing into his internal body, he discovered it riddled with countless apertures through which the Power of Disaster seeped. He attempted methods such as self-destruction and disintegration, all to no avail.
"Supreme Erosion."
"Although I possess the might to shake the supreme, my current level is insufficient. To purge these corrupting forces, I can only endure their gradual wearing effect with time, or await the attainment of the supreme state myself."
"What a genuine nuisance."
Levi set aside these insidious afflictions for the moment.
The erosion from the Power of Disaster was a chronic condition, not impacting his combat effectiveness in the immediate term. As long as he could conclude this war expeditiously, he would have ample opportunity to recover.
After confirming no critical issues remained.
Levi stepped into the Chaos Dimension.
...
A colossal tomb, cloaked in oppressive black miasma, rested in the void.
The resurrected Red Lotus Dragon, accompanied by several Mythical Giant Beasts, laid siege to the Black and White Netherworld Emperor. Life and death energies intertwined, strangling the mighty beasts as they swirled around two Netherworld Artifacts.
The prolonged engagement between the Third Netherworld Emperor and the Archdevil of Hell had spanned eighty years. While the Black and White Netherworld Emperor generally held the advantage, subduing the Archdevil of Hell proved exceedingly arduous.
"The Lost is vanquished, Disaster has also perished; is my Nightmare truly nearing its conclusion?" This seemingly unwinnable battle fueled a growing sense of despair within the Archdevil of Hell's aura.
Yet, it dared not defy the Nightmare Will.
It was compelled to persevere until this very moment.
The Black and White Netherworld Emperor spoke:
"Surrender. Should you truly align with my Underworld, the Mother River shall grant you clemency. You need not fear the Master of Horror nor the Nightmare Will."
The Archdevil of Hell responded with a cold, contemptuous sneer:
"What do you perceive me to be? I am the primordial life birthed from the Supreme Will's creation of the heavens and earth, predating even the Master of Horror!"
As one of the Four Emperors, each possessed their own inherent pride.
It would never betray its progenitor!
With this thought, its gaze shifted towards the Ignorant Monarch.
The Ignorant Monarch was engaged in a fierce conflict with the Heavenly Will.
Logically, the Barbarian Ancestor, having pursued the path of faith and totems, should have experienced a weakening of its power compared to eighty years prior after losing a Level 10 Barbarian Lord, making the battle easier.
However, this entity, one of the Four Emperors.
Was proving increasingly challenging to defeat.
Reflecting on this, the Archdevil of Hell transmitted a message:
"Ignorant, what is your next course of action?"
"I shall perish alongside the Nightmare!"
"Excellent! Having endured for countless eons is sufficient!"
The Archdevil of Hell immolated itself, its power surging dramatically.
The Black and White Netherworld Emperor's brow furrowed slightly.
It retreated to a safe distance, maintaining remote control, to avoid being caught in the self-detonation's catastrophic wave.
"To actually achieve extreme ascension? Such unwavering loyalty."
The Archdevil of Hell emitted a booming laugh, hurtling towards the Black and White Netherworld Emperor.
"Come! Allow me to demonstrate to you the true essence of the Four Emperors!"
At this critical juncture, the battlefield abruptly fell silent.
A resplendent, immaculate giant hand tore through the fabric of reality, bringing forth primordial chaos from which Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, and Frost Thunder were born... Beneath this colossal hand, new life began to sprout!
"Legendary Spell – The Universal Hand!"
BOOM!
A world-shattering slap sent the Archdevil of Hell, at the zenith of its power, hurtling into the chaotic void. Shortly thereafter, a weary and battered figure emerged.
The Archdevil of Hell's countenance shifted dramatically.
"Chaos Emperor."
With a single palm strike, its surroundings were nearly obliterated. This was achieved even while Levi was suffering from a deficiency in his spiritual origin and was weakened—the immense disparity was glaringly obvious.
Sensing Levi’s advance.
The Ignorant Monarch understood that Nightmare’s defeat in this engagement was inevitable.
While the two supreme beings of Nightmare might manage to protect themselves, safeguarding the retreat of numerous Nightmare Monarchs would prove exceptionally difficult. In essence, it meant the 'A plan' on the slates could be put into motion.
Nightmare was finished.
The most favorable outcome would see only two supreme beings barely clinging to existence.
Without even a base like the Nightmare World, what future could there be?
With this realization, the Ignorant Monarch suddenly bellowed:
"I willingly surrender to Nora, and henceforth, I sever all ties with Nightmare!"
To demonstrate this resolve, it abruptly swung its invisible blade towards itself.
An unseen line was severed, cutting its connection to the Nightmare Will. Its complexion turned ashen, its imposing aura drastically diminished, leaving it capable of only maintaining the Late Stage of Level 10 Cultivation.
It could no longer be considered one of the Four Emperors.
Only by taking such a drastic measure could Nora be convinced of its sincerity.
The Heavenly Will, clearly taken aback, could not have anticipated such a turn of events.
As a testament to its sincerity, the Ignorant Monarch immediately launched an assault on the Archdevil of Hell.
Under Levi’s relentless offensive, the Archdevil found itself in a precarious position.
Boom! The colossal blade, forged from the power of Delusion, impaled the Archdevil of Hell through its back.
The latter displayed an expression of utter disbelief, questioning:
"Did you not intend to perish alongside Nightmare?"
The Ignorant Monarch responded with cold indifference:
