Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2864: 583: Another True God Slain, A New Legend!
Previously on Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method...
In contrast to the fabled wizards from Nora,
the long-lived beings of the Giant World value their existence far more intensely.
...
Not long afterward.
The top leaders from the Ancient Dragon Continent came together and reached out to Levi, who was on the move, via the Twilight Round Table to alert him about the Nightmare invasion.
"Stay calm, this is merely a first test. Keep near the Nora Council. Plus, the Bright Sun works well against Nightmare Creatures. Under this artifact's safeguard, regular Nightmare Creatures struggle to break through.
The Mechanical School's weapon and scouting assault system tailored for Nightmare Creatures ought to be nearly set for use.
All of you need to remain alert. Unlike demons, Nightmare Creatures lack strong direct fighting power, yet they shine in creating illusions and Nightmare strikes.
They could even strike down someone while they sleep...
Still, the School of Dreams has crafted a matching remedy, which will get handed out soon. Once consumed, it sharpens the mind and strengthens the Dream Wall.
So, there's no reason to fear rest. If anyone slips into a dream, reach out right away to a dream wizard from the School of Dreams, or to any Tyrant of Horror; those Nightmare Creatures can handle it."
Through Owens, Levi also picked up on the concealed matters in the Ashen World. The Supreme Council had geared up thoroughly for the conflict.
If the Nightmare World seeks battle, then battle it is!
With Levi's strategy in place, a sense of relief washed over the group.
...
Supreme Council.
"The Nora Dark Side has spotted a huge swarm of Nightmare Creatures. It looks like the Nightmare World is geared up," the Daydreamer remarked.
The Wind Empress turned to Edmund.
"What's your view? Should we strike first?"
Her nature was fiercely bold, always favoring an offensive push as the best shield.
Mist Sky Guardian paused before speaking:
"The picture's still fuzzy now. Maybe we hold off a little? Launching an assault could push the Nightmare World to act even wilder."
The Barbarian Lords all gazed at the Heavenly Will.
"Barbarian Ancestor, what's your take?"
The Heavenly Will replied steadily:
"Strike now! No point in delaying. The Nightmare World's push is inevitable, and the Giant World won't simply ignore it or hunt for some lofty justification.
The firmer our stance, the more they'll waver. They could start doubting if we've got some mighty secret weapon, leaving them unsure."
Lady of Thunder gave a nod.
"I support it! We'll hit them where it hurts unexpectedly."
Having heard the various thoughts, Edmund declared:
"Agreed, let's engage. No more waiting around; we're set, but they're not. Moving forward, I'll hand the fighting over to the Nightmare Command Center's officers. Dealing with Nightmares is your domain, and I have faith in you all."
Specialists exist in every area.
Though Edmund wielded great power, he couldn't master it all. Each powerhouse in the Supreme Council brought distinct, vital talents.
Why had he braved death to rescue the Blue Dream Star Lord?
For starters, to inspire the other level-10 powerhouses from foreign races.
Besides, Nora desperately required a dream prodigy like her. Given the Blue Dream Star Lord's promise, she'd undoubtedly excel in the brewing clash with the Nightmare World.
The Frost Witch inquired:
"Do we venture into the Ashen World on our own? How will we create the pathway?"
As legendary wizards, they could carve a route, but the legions and lesser troops couldn't follow.
Edmund assured:
"No concerns, we've got pros for that... Meeting adjourned."
Days blurred into one another.
On the outside, Nora appeared serene, yet beneath, chaos brewed. Since the Daydreamer's return, even prior to the Nightmare threat, Nora had poured effort into the Dream Faction, and now it boasted four Grand Wizards.
The stock of primordial soul wizards stood ample too.
Furthermore, within the Nora Wan Clan, dozens pursued the Path of Dreams. At present, among the 108 level 9 foreign race Great Councilmen, several masters in that path served.
On top of that, the Ancient Dragon Continent's newest solo armor, the "Nightmare Vanguard," had entered service and shown prowess in tracking down Nightmare Creatures.
However, the Ashen World wasn't Nora's territory, and mustering these assets for an offensive push remained a tall order.
...
Nora Dark Side.
Eastern Sea.
A vague silhouette surfaced without a sound, observing the distant gathering of Nightmare Creatures with a steady expression—it was Vicna, absent for ages.
Owens lingered quietly beside him.
A vivid red glow pierced the dull realm; it was Edmund.
"Welcome back... Undying Shadow Vicna, sir!"
"Fortune favored me in reaching legendary status."
"So, you left the Shadow World behind to rebuild the whole Dark Side piece by piece from Nora Dark Side's shards, correct?"
At those words, the Undying Shadow let out a sigh:
"Indeed, the Shadow World sat at the heart of turmoil once. With what we have now, controlling it lies beyond us.
But the Nora Dark Side, in a way, counts as our base too, just overlooked and untapped before. Treating it as a foothold lets us slowly link up other Dark Side pieces. It's a gradual path, but it paves the way to command the universe's Dark Side.
I was a flop once, yet I hold that the ’Shadow Network’ isn't a bust; it's vital for the mighty Nora Civilization!
As Sauron put it:
"To get rich, first build roads."
The Giant World's dominance stems from another crucial factor,
namely their access to something like the Shadow Network, allowing them to breach the Multidimensional Plane's space walls.
