Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2818: 575: Arcane Throne, The Legendary Gargamel!
Previously on Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method...
The progression of the Demon Fox Main Mother and her companions has remained largely stagnant. As members of longevity species, even gifted individuals like the Desire Realm Witch advance at a pace slower than wizards. It is projected that by the time Levi attains legendary status, they will have only reached the eighth-circle.
Nevertheless, Levi is not the type to abandon his former subordinates once their usefulness has peaked, regardless of whether their initial service was voluntary. Since he possesses ample slots for the Black Emperor’s Enslavement, he chooses to leave their growth to destiny, especially since he can facilitate the transport of resources from Hell to aid them.
Time continues its steady march, day by day.
With the opening of the ancient tower looming, Levi remains occupied in Hell, hunting demons alongside Leon.
"Master, the time is nearly upon us."
Leon has already gathered millions of soul cans at his residence within the Ancient Banyan Fairyland. He is currently enveloped by the shrieking, twisted wraiths of countless fallen demons, yet Leon remains completely unfazed by their cries.
"Very well, let us return."
Levi has finished his preparations as well. He recently manifested a Level 9 Flame Demon Shadow, which has joined the ranks of the Six Great Demon Kings, supported by a total of 81 monster generals. Combined with his legion of Level 6 and higher demon soldiers, this military force is potent enough to dismantle major civilizations. Any entities below Level 6 are viewed merely as cannon fodder, destined for eventual replacement.
His gaze flickers intensely, with crimson light occasionally flashing between his eyebrows.
As he puts distance between himself and the eighth level, he enters a desolate stretch of wilderness. Simultaneously, his intuition regarding danger reaches a fever pitch.
With him at the epicenter, the ground for tens of thousands of miles begins to subside, collapsing into a monstrous vortex characterized by an overwhelming gravitational pull.
His flesh quivers as blood-red winds howl around him!
"It has arrived... just as I suspected, I am constantly being watched."
Levi triggers the Invisible Secret Word, accelerating to the speed of light to forcibly break free from the suction zone, narrowly avoiding a direct hit.
He witnesses a colossal maw, resembling a massive trap, clamping down to seal and pulverize the landscape. It devours the very crust of the world, grinding it down into the primal elements of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water.
As the dust settles, the true appearance of the gargantuan beast is revealed to Levi.
It is a hideous creature, akin to a monstrous anglerfish spanning thousands of miles. Its cavernous mouth can expand without limit, lined with rows of teeth as jagged and lethal as the peaks of Mount Hua.
With a somber expression, Levi manifests the Crimson Dragon Slash in his palm.
This is Edis, the Eternal Hunger Lord and Gluttonous Demon King, ruler of Abyss level 380. Though ranked at the Early Stage of Level 10, he is on the cusp of the Mid Stage, possessing power that exceeds the Ghost Alley Monarch. He likely serves as one of Hell’s Blood Battle Generals. Much like the Devouring Sky Demon Lord from the Nightmare World, he is a demonic entity fueled by the Power of Gluttony.
The Seven Deadly Sins represent a specific category of negative energy.
Fundamentally, this power is harvested from the raw emotions of living beings. Many practitioners within the Nightmare World focus their research and cultivation specifically on these seven sins.
The Abyss is saturated with the energy of the Seven Sins, birthing demons such as those of Gluttony and Lust. Naturally, the renowned succubi and the Sky Anger Demons are also intertwined with these forces.
On the side of the wizards, research remains scarce due to their relatively recent development. The Black Abyss Sovereign stands as the foremost authority in this discipline, which earned him the title of the Seven Sins Swordsman.
"Even my sensory abilities were nearly deceived; as expected of the Dusk Palace Master, slaying you will be a true test," the Gluttonous Demon King remarked with a sinister chuckle.
Levi had foreseen this ambush and the underlying malice. However, following his encounter with the Ghost Alley Monarch, he recognized that his own strength had reached a level where flight was unnecessary.
He has no patience for empty dialogue, drawing his blade to deliver a direct strike!
His Sword Qi erupts like a cascading galaxy, magnificent and vast!
"I shall consume you!"
The Gluttonous Demon King distends his gore-stained maw. His frame swells like a pufferfish, expanding until he reaches a diameter of ten thousand miles. The sheer scale of the expansion seems to rend the fabric of the world, causing the crystal walls of reality to fracture.
Levi's Sword Qi is swallowed whole, vanishing like a clay ox sinking into the ocean.
Caught in the gravitational wake of the Power of Gluttony, Levi begins to lose his footing, pulled helplessly toward the gaping throat. This time, even the effects of the Invisible Secret Word are suppressed.
"Enter my gullet! Hehehe."
The Gluttonous Demon King bellows with laughter, literally consuming the surrounding world.
Observing the futility of resistance, Levi ceases his struggle and transforms into a streak of light. He allows himself to be sucked into the massive mouth, which snaps shut with a trail of lingering drool.
The demon's internal anatomy is saturated with the Power of Gluttony, capable of liquifying any substance; even Level 10 entities find it nearly impossible to survive within.
"In less than fifteen minutes, you will be nothing more than digestive sludge."
The rumors claimed the Dusk Palace Master was difficult to eliminate, yet now it seemed he was easily dealt with. There was some substance to his reputation, but not enough to matter.
Meanwhile, Levi finds himself submerged in a vast, emerald ocean of acid.
"The digestive fluids of a Glutton Demon can melt Level 9 Metal in a quarter of an hour... Fortunately, I am equipped with the Blood Battle Armor. I could remain here for three days and nights without issue."
He is encased in blood-colored plate armor that perfectly repels the corrosive gluttonous forces, preventing them from touching his skin.
"Today, I shall take a page from the book of Sun Wukong and tear this beast apart from the inside."
With grim resolve, Levi invokes the power of the Eternal Star Abyss. He summons the Blood Battle Spirit, the Chaos Dragon, and the Primordial Spirit Emperor, alongside his various summoned minions.
"Go forth! Strike without mercy! Unleash everything! I refuse to believe this creature is invulnerable from within!"
Typically, the internal organs of any lifeform represent their most vulnerable point.
The Eternal Star Abyss expands rapidly, and as the Nine Thousand Sealing Stars begin to glow, a Starlight Giant Spirit with Level 9 Late Stage power manifests within the wizard tower, raining blows in every direction.
Elsewhere, the Light Giant fires Holy Light Beams from its eyes, scorching the stomach lining. The Primordial Magnetic Giant Soldier works to neutralize the acid, shielding the group from corrosion, while the Chaos Dragon unleashes a relentless barrage of spells.
Ultimately, the most devastating damage comes from the Sword Qi of Levi and the Blood Battle Spirit, as each of their slashes carves deep, bleeding furrows into the walls of the demon's stomach.
