Previously on Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method...
Over forty years have passed as Levi delves deeper into the Abyss, forging his Shadow Army into an elite force. He has reached the 600th layer, a place abandoned by the Corrupt King Sal, who fled to the Star Realm Battlefield. Levi's Blood Battle Spirit grows stronger, constantly devouring demons. Meanwhile, back in Nora, a great calamity is predicted, and the ongoing war in the astral world has seen significant losses for the Star Abyss Alliance Army, though Nora's legendary wizards remain safe.
Intermediate Gods: 10, Weak Gods: 26.
This number does not account for the gods who have defected.
After counting those who surrendered to the Heavenly Chopping Alliance Army and those lost due to an Abyss miscommunication incident, the astral world has seen a depletion of 66 Level-10 powerhouses, leaving just over 640.
Half of the remaining gods are still engaged in holding back the Insect Queen.
Not too long ago, the Abyss itself suffered the loss of a top-tier powerhouse from its 600th layer.
This was the Corrupt King Sal.
His initial intention was to bypass the conflict in the astral world, evading the Chaos Emperor. However, misfortune struck, and he ran into Dusk Monarch Fingal.
He also faced the Five Poison Heavenly Doctor, Triss.
Together, these two eliminated Sal.
The corrupt one was, fittingly, also poisoned.
This demise provided excellent research material for studying toxins.
Triss’s Poisonous Faction has proven its formidable capabilities during this ongoing war, prompting the Supreme Council to give her a temporary reprieve from the battlefield. She is to return to Nora to further her research.
Triss readily accepted the organization’s arrangement.
After a century of intense combat, she had gained considerable knowledge.
Her research value to civilization far surpassed her contributions on the front lines.
The Supreme Council harbored concerns about the potential loss of this Medicine God on the battlefield.
Such a loss would have repercussions far exceeding the absence of a single Legendary Wizard.
In comparison to the gods, the demons have sustained fewer casualties on the Heavenly Chopping Battlefield.
Unaffected by the diminishing power of faith and proving more challenging to subdue, their losses are distinct.
The demons’ most significant setbacks stem from the Abyss Realm Worm.
Guided by the Chaos Emperor and the Shadow Army, they eradicated 19 Level-10 demons and over two hundred Level-9 demons within fifty years, penetrating the 601st layer of the Abyss.
Consequently, the demons’ total loss reached 50 Level-10 entities.
This represents a tenth of their entire strength.
As the Emperor continues his deeper incursion, this figure is expected to escalate. All these fallen demons have their souls consumed by Leon, precluding any possibility of reincarnation.
Upon reviewing the report,
The Frost Witch exhaled in relief.
"Nora’s victory appears to be within reach."
She too wished to demonstrate her abilities on the Heavenly Chopping Battlefield, as many other Legendary Wizards had. However, the Supreme Council, mindful of the adverse effects of the Giant Power within her, denied her request.
Only when she achieves complete mastery over the giant’s will
Will she be permitted to join the Heavenly Chopping Battlefield.
A stout middle-aged witch, attired in a green robe, entered the chamber.
She was the Fertile Soil Empress, the leader of the Legendary Promotion Strategy Department. The mandate of this department is to safeguard individuals on the cusp of Legendary status, ensuring they proceed undisturbed.
"Lady, it appears Garcia has a viable opportunity to ascend to Legendary status."
Upon hearing this, Gullwig responded,
"His potential advancement is not surprising; while his innate talent seems ordinary, he possesses exceptional perseverance and good fortune. Ensure his safety and continued progress."
"Indeed, the Purgatory Demon Sword also presents a possibility for advancement."
"He should encounter no significant obstacles; the probability of success is even higher."
"Should all proceed as planned, by the time 5000 years have elapsed, our number of Legendary Wizards should reach 50. In the newly emerging worlds, we wizards will continue to hold the dominant position."
At this juncture, the Legendary Wizards perceived the approaching dawn of victory.
Their focus began to extend towards the future.
Currently, the unity of the Nora Wan Clan stems from a shared adversary. However, internal contradictions and conflicts among the clans are undeniable.
While the Supreme Council is theoretically representative of All Clans,
As humans, and specifically as wizards,
The Legendary Wizards aspire for wizard civilization to perpetually maintain its preeminent status, thereby deterring other clans and ensuring a stable transition of Nora’s dominion over the new world.
When the Nora Civilization embarks on its grand exploration of the Multiverse,
Through external conflicts and extensive explorations, they aim to reinforce their internal governance once more.
This is the collective vision of the Emperor and the Legendary Wizards.
Of course, the war has not yet concluded.
Considering these future scenarios at this moment is not about preemptively subjugating other clans.
It is merely an indication that the Nora Wizards must remain vigilant, prepared to wield absolute power to manage potential internal dissensions. If peaceful coexistence prevails for all, that would naturally be the most desirable outcome.
Otherwise, the wizards will not hesitate to act with ruthlessness.
While the two Legendaries were engaged in this exchange,
Two formidable forces suddenly materialized outside the confines of the Nora Civilization.
One entity stood a million li tall, its form encased in formidable black scales, each scale akin to a colossal mountain. It bore a semblance to a Gargoyle, imbued with the characteristics of a Flame Demon.
This was the Lord of Chaotic Stars, Ausgaard.
It is a unique demon, secretly nurtured by the Abyss Will, amalgamating the strengths of the Gargoyle and Flame Demon, possessing exceptionally high elemental resistance, comparable to that of the Amethyst Race.
Furthermore, it exhibits a high degree of immunity to divine arts.
Its creation was primarily intended to counter the astral world.
However, circumstances shifted, and to safeguard its homeland from obliteration by the Chaos Emperor, the Abyss Will expended its fundamental essence, propelling it to an earlier Supreme advancement to arrive in Nora.
This maneuver was intended to compel the Chaos Emperor's return.
If, in the process, Nora could be annihilated, that would be an even greater victory.
Another figure materialized, equally unknown.
Attired in opulent black robes, this entity possessed no discernible facial features, only a profound, dark vortex that siphoned ambient light, warping the very fabric of spacetime.
The Dark Emperor, Helros.
The master of darkness' divine power, this being represented the astral world's ultimate gambit against the Abyss' machinations—a contingency reserved for dire, life-or-death scenarios, thus remaining concealed from public knowledge.
Confronted by the formidable pressure exerted by the Heavenly Chopping Alliance Army.
Even the Star Ancestor was compelled to unleash it.
Helros stood in silent contemplation, its chilling gaze fixed upon Nora.
"Divine Skill: Grand Darkness Heaven!"
Its divine right hand was raised.
A sable curtain unfurled, steadily descending with the intent to engulf Nora.
Even Emmon's Eternal Sun began to wane under the might of this power.
In sheer strength, Helros might not rival Emmon.
Yet, Emmon currently resides within the astral world.
What remains in Nora is merely a projection of his power.
This projection, however, possesses the capability to intimidate ordinary cultivators of level 10.
