Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2770: 567: Armor Unsealed, Blood Battle Against the Horde of Demons!

The Lava Dragon plummeted from the heavens, letting out a pained wail as the arrows pierced its flesh. Despite its formidable Level 9 Giant Dragon physique, the creature survived the initial impact, though its combat efficiency was shattered. It faced a lethal end unless it could find a place to heal and rest.

"Father!"

Alexandra’s pupils contracted in shock; she had never envisioned her invincible father suffering such a catastrophic blow.

Struggling against the agony, the Lava Dragon rasped in a low voice:

"I am alright. You must lead the others through the teleportation portal immediately. I cannot hold this position; it appears the demons marked me as their primary target long ago."

While members of the Dragon Clan were notorious for neglecting their kin, this dragon had watched its daughter's growth over two millennia with immense pride. It harbored the hope that she might one day surpass its own legendary status.

Elsie spoke with a voice heavy with sorrow:

"Alexandra, we must retreat. The survival of the group is the priority. Our numbers mean nothing here; the gap of a Level 9 Chasm cannot be bridged by the dragon descendant priory alone."

The Sky Dragon Wizard added his own thunderous command: "Withdraw! Retreat now! The primordial soul wizard and I shall provide the rearguard cover!"

The tide of battle, which had briefly turned in their favor, crashed once more. This was total war, a chaotic mess of unpredictable variables. Even if Nora emerged victorious, the cost in lives would be staggering.

Alexandra quickly organized the cover for the group as they stepped into the portal. She leaned close to her father, whispering urgently, "Once we are clear, you must find a path to escape."

"Worry not for me; I am a giant dragon who has survived for tens of thousands of years."

Seeing the Melt Mountain Dragon crippled, the shadow demon transformed into a bolt of dark lightning, intent on delivering the killing blow. Claiming the life of another Level 9 Giant Dragon would ensure this campaign was a resounding success!

Suddenly, the massive form of the Melt Mountain Dragon flickered like a mirage and vanished right before its eyes. Along with the dragon, Alexandra, Elsie, and the rest of the dragon descendant priory disappeared into thin air.

When the group reopened their eyes, they were met with a breathtaking, alien landscape of swirling red and black.

"The Nightmare World?"

"Indeed. It seems the Dusk Palace Master has intervened to save us." The Melt Mountain Dragon let out a breath of relief, temporarily sealing its gruesome wounds, grateful to have cheated death.

Elsie, Alexandra, and the Sky Dragon Wizard—all members of the dragon descendant priory—remained in a state of stunned silence.

Just what level of power and what realm did the Dusk Palace Master occupy?

Entering the Nightmare World was no small feat; it was the most enigmatic of the Four Great Giants, a place most of them would never have touched in their entire lives. Amidst the shifting storm clouds of that dark sky, a colossal face manifested. It was Levi.

"Rest here for the time being. I will grant you passage out later."

As the massive face faded away, the survivors collapsed to the ground in exhaustion.

"Thank the heavens, we truly made it out."

"Curses, I felt as though half my soul was already knocking on Hell's door."

"There is an incredible sense of security being near the Dusk Palace Master. Perhaps moving the dragon descendant priory to the Ancient Dragon Continent is the right move..."

"I believe that is a sound plan!"

"I concur!"

...

Where had that massive dragon gone? How could it simply vanish into nothingness?

The shadow demon hovered in the air, frozen, until a sudden chill of danger prickled its spine. It manifested a shadow dagger and slashed backward instinctively. There was a sharp clang of metal, but the blade felt as though it had been plunged into thick mud or dense rubber.

A golden fist had caught the dagger. Reflected in Levi’s eyes was the shadow demon’s trembling form and mask of pure terror.

"Dusk Palace Master..."

The demon instantly dissolved into a shadow, desperate to flee. Levi threw a punch that shattered the surrounding space. Utilizing his shadow holy body and the power of the Invisible Sanctuary, he moved through the Shadow Dimension with speed akin to teleportation, appearing directly in the demon's path.

"Your flight is a bit sluggish..."

The demon shrieked in horror, "How can you possibly track me here?"

It refused to believe it could be intercepted even after diving into the depths of the shadow world!

It flickered, leaping through the darkness in a frantic, random sprint, only to find a black radiance waiting ahead. Levi stood there, sword in hand.

"There is no escape for you."

The shadow demon felt its skin crawl. The evasive maneuvers it had used to survive countless encounters with powerful foes were utterly useless now.

Was there nothing this man could not do? Was there no place he could not reach?

In a final act of desperation, the shadow demon drew its bow, burning its Origin Demon Qi to unleash a torrential rain of arrows that blotted out the sky.

Levi merely erupted with a brilliant golden light, shattering the volley. He teleported instantly, seizing the shadow demon’s head and crushing it with overwhelming force. As the demon’s shadows scattered to flee, they were met by the Nine Suns Suspended in the Sky. Crimson flames incinerated the gray world, dragging the shadow demon to its final demise.

A torrent of flesh and essence surged into the Blood Battle Armor. In that moment, Levi felt a mental barrier shatter. The majestic armor within him hummed with power, dissolving into billions of microscopic specks that raced through his bloodstream. They bonded with every cell and every true form phantom within his divine palaces, coating them in blood-red protection.

This supreme artifact had finally fused with Levi’s very existence, becoming as intuitive to use as his own hands and feet.

With a mere thought, Levi’s blood surged to the surface of his skin, hardening into a sharp, angular suit of full-body armor that resembled a crimson dragon.

[Blood Battle:

1. Bath Blood:When engaging demons in combat and bathing in their blood, all primary attributes (Strength, Defense, Physique, Endurance, Perception, Speed, Spirit) are boosted by 50%. This effect fades after battle and scales with the equipment level.
