Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2749: 564: Beyond Level-10, The Netherworld Ancestor Descends! Nora Ark!
Previously on Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method...
As the year drew to a close, the collection of Truth Oddities had been nearly continuous, with a total of 109 gathered, ranging in quality from Earth to Bright Moon-grade.
On this particular day, Jin guided Levi toward a sweltering region dominated by jagged crimson stones and billowing black smoke. Stopping at the mouth of a natural Earth Fire Cave, Jin pointed toward the depths.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak."
Jin was convinced that securing this treasure trove would allow his contributions to surpass those of the Gold Seeking Hound. He believed ultimate victory in their rivalry would finally be his.
Once the preparations were finished, Levi descended into the cavern. As he moved deeper, he found numerous veins of fire-elemental metal ores while the Hound barked incessantly.
Jin gave the Hound a quick flick on the head, annoyed that it seemed to be claiming credit. To Jin, the discovery of these minerals was entirely his own achievement.
Paying no mind to the bickering creatures, Levi acted as a human excavator, harvesting every mineral vein he encountered. Among the ores, he found several fire-element Truth Oddities, all of which reached the Sky-level.
Eventually, Levi came to a halt above a vast Lava Sea. The intense heat, capable of incinerating the defensive fields of an eighth-circle wizard, felt like nothing more than a slight tickle to his skin.
Reaching into the empty air, he pulled out a flame-like object that pulsed like a beating heart. A smile touched Levi's lips as he examined the profound Truth Runes etched upon it.
"Not bad, Fire God’s Fury."This was a Glorious Sun-Grade Oddity from the Fire God Series. Levi remained composed as he stored it away; standard Sun-Grade Oddities no longer caused him much excitement.
He could, after all, refine such an item himself if he was willing to pay the price, just as he had before. He decided against refining this one, choosing instead to place it in the organization’s treasury as a high-tier artifact. The impending conflict with the Burning Faction was bound to be fierce.
Jin squeaked urgently. Translating the mouse’s language, Levi understood that this wasn't the primary treasure Jin had sensed. A single Sun-Grade Oddity wasn't enough for Jin to beat the Gold Seeking Hound’s previous feat of finding the Tai Stone Mine.
Levi’s spiritual force surged outward, scanning the area with precision. Suddenly, he plunged into the Lava Sea. Something was obstructing his senses, likely a hidden relic or a similar structure.
Before long, he stood in front of a massive crimson gate. It was carved with ancient array patterns that matched the temple designs he had seen before—clearly the work of Sauron.
"Haha, found another one, didn’t I?"Filled with joy, Levi pushed the gate open. A terrifyingly hot gale blasted toward him, making his Protective Golden Light flicker—a testament to the wind's level 9 destructive power.
Within the chamber, a flickering face of flame manifested, sporting crimson wings like those of an angel and wreathed in divine fire!
Boom!
The face slammed into Levi but bounced off like a harmless balloon. The entity's head buzzed in shock, unable to believe a human had withstood its strike. Throughout the long eras, any who stumbled here had been instantly reduced to ash.
Levi asked with total composure, "Who are you?"
"I am an angel serving under the Eternal Seat of God. Who are you?" the flame face demanded in return."Eternal Fire... I see. Since you've been imprisoned here, you can't be anything good. Kill it.""Arrogant blasphemer, I—"In an instant, the swelling flames met an irresistible force. The entity shriveled and collapsed until it became a mere spark that vanished into nothingness. A purple light hit the floor with a sharp "ding."
This angel, possessing power equivalent to the Triple Demon Realm, perished just like that. Levi retrieved its Divine Crystal along with the loot that had dropped.
The item resembled a shuttle-shaped vessel. Levi suspected it was a rare treasure designed for transportation.
[Equipment Name: Aid the Vast Sea (Purple Epic)][Equipment Level: Nine][Equipment Effect: Ride the Wind and Waves.]
...
[Ride the Wind and Waves: When the long winds and waves will come, with sails hoisted aloft, aid the vast sea. This treasure facilitates long-distance plane travel and expeditions across the Sea of Ruins.]
The standard cruising speed is 50 times the average pace of a level 9 entity traveling the Land of Darkness, with a top speed reaching 100 times that average.]
"Impressive. Its top speed matches my own body's natural travel speed across the Sea of Ruins. Among the level 9 treasures Sauron left behind, this is likely the highest quality—a genuine top-tier find."Levi had actually considered crafting a transportation treasure after reaching level 9, as traveling by foot wasted valuable Cultivation time. Such a vessel would allow him to work while on the move. He quickly refined the treasure, and a mature male voice resonated in his mind:
[Taibai No.1 at your service.][For convenience, you may call me... Bai.]Levi focused his attention on the small flying shuttle in his palm.
"What is this? Does this object possess artificial intelligence?"[Yes. You may expand the Aid the Vast Sea to its full dimensions, and I shall provide a tour of the interior.]Levi wasn't in a hurry and continued his questioning:
"You still have energy after three hundred thousand years?"[I was in a state of dormancy and was awakened by the ship's refinement process.]"Were you created by Sauron?"[Yes.]Levi uttered an incantation, and the ship hummed as it grew. Soon, a silver-white vessel over ten thousand meters long appeared. It featured a sleek, sci-fi shuttle design that resembled a massive, handsome sword.
