Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 3116: 640: A Fleeting Century
Previously on Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method...
Out of the strongmen at level 10, a full 30% have already exhausted all three teleportation uses granted by the ancient tower.
Ninety percent have utilized it at least one time.
Only a mere 10% have never employed its functions.
The situation is considerably more dire for those at level 9.
The ancient tower, while a cosmic-level supreme treasure crafted by Sauron, is not an entirely invincible tool. Its numerous capabilities were purchased at the cost of Sauron's entire lifespan.
Should its usage allowances be completely depleted, Nora's standing in future internal conflicts will undeniably diminish. This is precisely why Levi strives relentlessly to subjugate Nightmares, intending to use them as expendable forces.
The Abyss and the astral world have yet to unveil their ultimate strategies.
Their true strength remains unknown; Levi himself possesses no insight into it.
Nevertheless, the rewards reaped from this recent conflict are substantial.
The spoils include body materials from Nightmare Monarchs and precious crystals, notably from several powerful beings at the late stage of level 10, alongside the bounty from nearly 1,400 Nightmare Overlords.
The quantities from other levels are too numerous to tally.
After provisioning approximately one-tenth of the Nightmare spoils and a fragment of a Disaster Stone, the 'Dreams of Revolving' underwent a profound transformation, effectively being reborn.
Its quality now stands on par with that of the Dark Ancient Tower.
It can rightfully be classified as a cosmic treasure.
Its potent abilities are sufficient to simultaneously generate three million duplicates, which can infiltrate the dreams of all sentient beings.
Even ordinary strongmen in the early stages of level 10 could dispatch it with relative ease.
However, top-tier powerhouses would hesitate to engage 'Dreams of Revolving' directly.
Indeed, 'Dreams of Revolving' has ascended to become Nora's third most formidable combat asset, situated just behind Emmon and Levi.
Still, it cannot measure up to the might of the Four Primordial Treasures.
Those artifacts alone possess the power to unsettle the very Supreme Will.
From this juncture forward.
Both the School of Dreams and the Knight Perception Dimension are poised for another period of explosive advancement.
All sectors within Nora are entering a second phase of accelerated development, heralding a golden era. The ability to withstand the onslaught of the Abyss Netherworld hinges entirely on the success of this upcoming wave.
Furthermore,
Gargamel is set to transfer the Water Demon Lord's crystal core to the congress.
He finds no need for it, as his focus is on sealing demons.
This Demon Lord-class crystal core contains invaluable knowledge and fundamental rules, proving immensely beneficial to the Ocean School Wizards in their pursuit of spellcraft. Levi has arranged for everyone to take turns studying it.
...
Following the conclusion of the congressional matters,
Levi finally made his return to the Ancient Dragon Continent.
Under the protection of the Saturated Defense, the losses incurred here were minimal.
Levi reviewed the reports—the casualties were exclusively from expeditions to the Land of Darkness or from providing aid to other regions of Nora, and the severity was never critical. The Ancient Dragon Continent is populated by elites, and when the Disaster World erupted, his family was prioritized for evacuation.
This action could be seen as a slight personal bias from the Grand Council Chairman.
However, being human, no one voiced any criticism.
Elena's location remains absolutely secure.
She commands three level 9 pathways; below level 10, she faces no equal.
Recently, she achieved another significant breakthrough and is currently in seclusion.
Levi himself returned to the Ancient Banyan Fairyland.
Mana has now reached the late stage of level 9. She has absorbed all substances imbued with Divine Tree Power, including Earth Mother Qi, resulting in substantial changes. Within the Ancient Banyan Fairyland, amplified by the realm's blessing, her combat prowess is elevated by a minor realm.
The tribe's rate of growth and their ultimate potential have also been enhanced due to Mana's ascended power.
The Mana Ecology is becoming increasingly comprehensive.
Observing the clearly fatigued Levi, Mana inquired,
"Has the war concluded?"
"It is finished."
"You should get some proper rest."
"Mm."
Levi, truly drained, proceeded to the Small Stone Pond.
As he bathed, he drifted into a comfortable sleep. The lingering Power of Disaster within his body gradually dissipated, allowing Levi to recuperate. Ten years elapsed in the blink of an eye.
On a certain day,
Triss arrived at the Ancient Banyan Fairyland, her expression alight with excitement.
She found Levi slumbering peacefully, much like a child.
Mana softly explained,
"He is profoundly tired—still hasn't awakened."
Triss responded,
"That's perfectly fine. When he does wake, simply inform him that I need to speak with him."
"Understood."
At that very moment, Levi's sleepy eyes fluttered open.
He let out a yawn and inquired,
"What is it you require, madam?"
Triss replied,
"Nothing significant. You may return to your slumber."
"I am already awake now."
"Do not exert yourself excessively."
"Truly, it signifies nothing important."
"Very well, the Dream Returning Potion has proven successful!"
Triss announced with palpable enthusiasm.
Levi's gaze registered his astonishment.
"That swiftly?"
"Indeed!"
"Excellent! If no unforeseen issues arise, proceed with rapid mass production. All individuals injured during this conflict are to receive the Dream Returning Potion free of charge. The congress will oversee the necessary funding."
"Production is already in progress. Currently, several Legendary Alchemists are dedicated to researching the formulation for a legendary-tier Dream Returning Potion. This will require a bit more time."
"My gratitude, and congratulations on achieving Nine Rings Perfection."
"My sincerest thanks!"
Having not conversed in an extended period, the two shared pleasantries.
After escorting Triss out, Levi set his course for the Heavenly Realm.
The Dragon Clan had been living a life of ease for many years.
Their battles were confined to the Nightmare World, posing no real danger.
The Dragon Clan, along with other transcendent beings, did not reproduce at a rapid rate. Before their numbers could swell significantly, Levi ensured they were not thrust into perilous conflicts that could undermine the knights' foundations.
"Now that I have regained my strength, I must urgently focus on cultivation."
Nora entered a serene phase of development.
Everyone was spurred to cultivate their strength.
This recent war served as a stark reminder to Levi that he had not yet reached the pinnacle of existence.
Otherwise, confronting the Lord of Disaster would not have consumed so much of his time.
Seizing this opportune period, he redoubled his efforts in earnest.
...
Moments turned into days, days into months.
In what felt like an instant, the Nora Calendar Year 3600 had arrived.
Aside from the routine submission of centennial work reports, Levi dedicated every spare moment to his cultivation.
Deep within the Land of Darkness, Emmon remained in slumber.
His dispersed True Sun essence was slowly being gathered back.
This indicated a process of recovery.
Amidst this tranquil period, the Dusk Holy Temple maintained its normal operations. Encouraged by policies promoting childbirth, numerous newborns joined the various Mythical families.
The reincarnation and cultivation endeavors of all the major figures proceeded as planned.
Intelligence gathered by the Underworld revealed,
The Thousand Mountains Immortal had undergone reincarnation into the Jade Elephant Family, now existing as the grandson of the Eighteen Riders.
