Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2819: 575: Arcane Throne, The Legendary Gargamel!

It wasn't long before Levi detected that something was wrong. Despite his efforts, the Gluttonous Demon King remained unperturbed and offered no resistance, his voice echoing with clear mockery.

"My entire repertoire is contained within my belly. Did you honestly believe such a tactic could breach my skin? The resilience of my stomach lining is equal to that of supreme treasures. Cease this futility and submit to your destiny."

Damn, I miscalculated.

Sun Wukong’s legendary technique isn't effective for me!

Levi grumbled inwardly, though he remained composed.

Since he had the courage to enter, he certainly possessed the means to depart.

"That is enough; I am finished playing with you. My journey to the ancient tower cannot be delayed."

He couldn't afford to linger. Being transported to the Demon Headquarters carried the risk of suffering a disaster similar to the Rainbow Dragon's fate.

Once more, he unleashed a full-strength slash to no avail. Suddenly, his physical form erupted violently, his aura evaporating entirely as he vanished from within the beast.

His silhouette materialized tens of thousands of miles away.

The Gluttonous Demon King spoke with chilling resolve:

"Escape is impossible!"

Its massive, bloated frame began to shrink like a punctured balloon, venting a high-pressure stream of dismal green vapor. Within the haze, the flickering image of a green-skinned female appeared. She spoke in a mournful tone:

"Master of the Dusk Palace, do not bother running."

The vapor expanded instantly, blanketing tens of thousands of miles like a swirling nebula. As the mists collided, they ignited with green sparks and bolts of lightning. Mountains caught within this territory dissolved into nothingness, and the fabric of space became scarred and fractured, teeming with venomous entities.

Levi’s expression darkened slightly.

A Demon Lord had been concealed inside the Gluttonous Demon King all along!

It was Lady Poison Smoke Moira from the 304th layer of the Abyss, a Level-10 Early Stage powerhouse whose true form was a Corrosive Poison Demon specializing in toxins.

Levi realized then that his Blood Battle Armor was coated in a viscous green grime that even his searing flames failed to burn away.

"Your supreme treasures may offer protection, but once my Ghostly Ghost Corrosive Poison takes hold, do not dream of an easy flight, hehehe."

The Poison Smoke Lady’s haunting laughter faded into the emerald expanse of mist.

This demon possessed a chest with multiple protruding teats like a sow, incessantly exhaling toxic green fumes that made Levi’s every movement feel heavy and restricted.

To capture him, the demons were truly pulling out all the stops.

Two Level-10 entities—an immense investment!

Levi stopped wasting time. Enveloped by his Destruction Sanctuary, he forcibly carved a path forward before utilizing the Invisible Secret Word to relocate hundreds of thousands of miles away.

Yet, before he could catch his breath, the toxic residue on his Blood Battle Armor began to cackle. The smoke expanded once more, manifesting a sea of green mist that snared him again.

"As I said, you cannot get away."

Taking advantage of the delay, the Gluttonous Demon King struck again, its titanic jaws lunging to swallow him whole.

With a flash of thought, Levi’s body sprouted thousands of crimson spikes.

"Explode!"

Blood-red light radiated in every direction. Each beam, infused with the power of the Invisible Sanctuary, saturated the surrounding tens of thousands of miles.

The majority were consumed by the gaping maw.

However, several beams escaped the reach of the jaws, reconsolidating into Levi’s form. The portions that were swallowed dissipated into a mist of blood, vanishing completely.

"This is becoming a nuisance."

The two demons worked in perfect harmony, combining tethering abilities with pursuit skills. Without his diverse array of techniques, a standard Level-10 would have already been neutralized.

He would have to learn from this experience.

This encounter taught Levi that the Abyss held many powerful beings whose capabilities far surpassed his expectations. Lacking overwhelming dominance, he couldn't afford to be careless. He needed to stay clear of Hell until reaching Level-10 to avoid being hunted.

"We shall see how long your luck lasts."

The demons weren't aiming for a kill; Levi was simply too difficult to execute. Their goal was to bind and suppress him, intending to bring him to the Abyss where even mightier beings could deal with him.

Inside the misty sea, billions of green tentacles lashed out. Levi wove through them, using Sword Qi and magical invocations to shatter the limbs. Yet the tentacles were inexhaustible; this was a losing game unless he could purge the green toxin.

If he couldn't, the Poison Smoke Lady would track him regardless of his speed. It was a deadlock.

Formulating a plan, he used his Sword Qi to hack open a new exit, flashing across millions of miles until he stood before a massive, glowing green portal.

The gateway to the Ninth Layer!

He plunged through without a second thought.

Inside, the sky was dominated by towering, monumental pillars.

The Poison Smoke Lady appeared, her face twisting in irritation.

"Does this brat intend to lead his troubles into someone else's yard?"

Levi paid her no mind. Relying on his Undying Body and Super Speed, he tore through the realms of the Ninth Layer. The green mist trailed behind him like a persistent shadow, while the Gluttonous Demon King fell behind, shouting curses as he struggled to keep up.

The disturbance soon drew the attention of the mighty beings of the Seventy-Two Pillars. Many gazes fell upon them, but once they identified a Level-10 demon, they chose to remain uninvolved.

"Neigh neigh!"

The piercing cry of a warhorse rang through the air.

Levi’s face brightened with relief.

A skeletal knight in heavy plate armor, eyes flickering with blue ghostly flames, rode out from a swirling black vortex atop a Purgatory Heavenly Horse. In its hand, it gripped the Supreme Treasure, Tyrant.

"Death Knight, it has been too long! I came to visit you, but I've unfortunately been hounded by these demons... care to assist me?"

Levi yelled even as he continued to sprint.

The Death Knight offered no verbal reply. Instead, it galloped across the landscape, its blade descending in a devastating arc!

Overlord Secret Skill: Crossing River!

A colossal river of light, spanning tens of thousands of miles, surged forward to block the Gluttonous Demon King. The beast was nearly struck and was forced to come to a jarring stop.

"Do not interfere! We will depart once the boy is in our custody!"

Ignoring the warning, the warhorse charged across the ethereal river as the knight prepared a finishing move!

Overlord Secret Skill: Ghost Hero!

One cannot wield the Tyrant without the spirit to face any foe. The Death Knight had no patience for threats!

The Gluttonous Demon King didn't dare meet the blow directly and began to back away rapidly.

Meanwhile, the Poison Smoke Lady maintained her pursuit of Levi into the heart of the Ninth Layer. She recognized the danger, but she was too close to victory to retreat. Given the Dusk Palace Master’s cautious nature, this kind of ambush would never work a second time.

With the Gluttonous Demon King occupied, only one Level-10 remained.

Levi felt a weight lift. Although the Poison Smoke Lady was as relentless as a parasite, his supreme treasures kept him safe for the moment. Now, he only needed to provoke the other Level-10 Pillars to obstruct her path.

Suddenly, the heavens shook with a violent tremor.

A massive, ancient tome, thousands of miles wide, manifested in the sky. Intricate golden runes glowed upon its surface:

Sealing Demon Catalog!

The pages began to turn rapidly, projecting the aura of a vast army. Countless Level-9 demons poured from the book, followed by legions of followers. They turned into streaks of light, diving into the green mist and self-destructing. The sheer force of thousands of explosions began to tear the fog apart.

The Poison Smoke Lady glared upward, spotting a diminutive wizard. He wore a pointed, archaic hat, possessed a sharp nose, and leaned on a staff while holding an old book.

He was a Legendary Wizard she did not recognize.

Levi looked on with pleasant surprise.

"It has been a while, Palace Master Levi. Shall we work together to bind this demon?" Gargamel flipped the tome to a fresh, empty page.

The Blood Battle Spirit surged toward the heavens, and a limitless Sea of Blood unfurled to clash with the remaining green mist. The Eternal Star Abyss locked down the sky, sealing every escape route! Levi stopped his flight, his wizard form and Primordial Spirit fusing into the majestic Coiled Dragon Emperor!

"Let us begin, Sir Gargamel!"
