Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2900: 589: The Shadow World Rekindled! Nightmare’s Crushing Defeat!

The arrival of the Seven Sins holds the same weight as the joint arrival of the Four Great Demon Lords from the Abyss.

During the last conflict in the Shadow World, all Seven Demon Lords joined the battle, leading to utter devastation that shrouded the realm in gloom and destruction, utterly ravaging the Shadow World.

Within the Seven Sins, [Jealousy] fell during the Shadow's desperate last assault, meeting its end, while [Sloth] and [Fury] suffered grave wounds.

From that point onward, the original formation of the Seven Sins faded into the past.

Toward the rear of the assembly, the Ghost Alley Monarch remains quietly in place.

It merely wishes for the mighty Great Monarchs to swiftly eliminate the Dusk Palace Master, stopping him from gaining any chance to advance further.

Time flows onward.

In the end, every Monarch gathers, their combined 27 level-10 presences weaving together and making the Nora Dark Side quiver. Luckily, following almost two millennia of merging, the dark side has swiftly grown alongside Nora, achieving stability thousands of times greater than in the past.

The Lost Monarch abruptly declares:

Before it can complete the words, the dark side jolts as if struck by a quake, prompting every Nightmare Monarch to shift in alarm and gaze upward.

Amid that soot-choked sky, a fierce crimson glow starts to emerge. In the sunless expanse of the universe's dark side... Edmund arrives, and with him comes the light!

A murky whirlpool materializes, forming a massive channel linking Nora’s true realm to the Ashen World, from which silhouettes begin to descend.

Edmund, Gullwig, Heavenly Will, the four barbarian tribal gods, Pandora Matriarch, Whale Emperor... plus more than a dozen other famed wizards, leaving out the Survivor of the Vast Sea and Rowling.

The Survivor of the Vast Sea stays vigilant over Nora’s Core.

Rowling alongside the Beast Master Civilization remain en route.

Thus, Nora’s forces include precisely 26 Level 10 powerhouses, neither more nor fewer.

The gray whirlpool fades away, unveiling the form of Wagner Wizard.

Upon witnessing this, the Lost Monarch’s face shows a faint alteration.

Based on the reports they collected, this individual does not belong to the Nora Wizard Council.

This detail heightens its caution, for as a Nightmare Monarch, its senses are sharp. At times, a seemingly minor oversight in the first circle can spell disaster.

Yet, with five level-10 late-stage experts present among them, it pushes down these concerns forcefully, turning to Edmund with a grin:

"Is the Nora Council planning to dive straight into a battle to the death with us?"

Edmund responds:

"Pleased to make your acquaintance, Lost Monarch. In my role as Grand Council Chairman, I must express special gratitude for nurturing such a fine legendary wizard for us—Daydreamer."

Edmund deliberately prods at a raw nerve, stirring rage inside the Lost Monarch, who forces a smile: "Save your thanks; today, I’ve come to take it back."

The Arrogance Demon Lord, growing restless, heaves the enormous mountain from its shoulders, "So, you must be Edmund? I’ve arrived to test your prowess today."

As the embodiment of Arrogance, it scorns all below Level 11!

The massive mountain hurls forth, shredding the emptiness in its path, aiming straight at Edmund’s head, but his crimson robe flutters as he raises a hand.

A massive Sun rises to intercept the mountain.

Boom! The mountain rebounds, glowing with intense heat.

A flicker of surprise crosses the Arrogance Demon Lord’s features, and it glances at the Lost Monarch, "Commander, make your move."

The Lost Monarch detects trouble and abruptly notices that Wagner Wizard, who had just shown up, has vanished without trace.

At the same instant.

In the heart of the dark side.

Owens, the embodiment of the dark side’s will, sits in this spot.

He regards Wagner and states:

"Friend, don’t forget to pass on my farewells to Levi."

Wagner gives a grave nod and replies:

"Owens, your essence won’t vanish. I shall carry forward your eternal dark side will. Using the Nora Dark Side as my base, I’ll collect the scattered dark side shards throughout the universe and summon back the lost Ashen Kings.

I’ll also refine the Gray Swordsman’s path and hand it to the coming generations of dark-side folk. When that moment arrives, no more Fallen will emerge, all Nightmare Power will be expelled, and your will shall return... Windmill Village will endure eternally."

Owens thinks back to the endless years of awaiting Levi’s arrival in Windmill Village, and a contented smile spreads across his face, "Unyielding Silver Seat, Owens, says goodbye for now."

He gestures to the world and steps into the shadow ahead.

His form merges with Wagner’s, and in a flash, an overwhelming, unfathomable presence surges through the whole Nora Dark Side, as Wagner turns into a streak of radiance piercing the heavens.

The scale of Nora sets the scale of its dark side.

And right then, the entire Nora Dark Side stirs, like a colossal Earth Dragon turning over, surging seas, splitting layers of rock, slowly uncovering a enormous visage matching the dark side’s vastness, bearing Wagner’s own features.

The solitary marching shadow, ruler of Nora’s dark side!

Wagner isn’t the Shadow School of Thought’s initial legendary wizard, yet he could well be its most remarkable, forging a demiplane from the Nora Dark Side!

Immense peaks and flowing waters, all bend to his command!

Unfathomable strength courses through Wagner.

His mind feels on the verge of shattering, as endless streams of data from Nora’s dark side pour endlessly into his awareness, sufficient to drown even his legendary spirit. Still, he endures.

With a mortal frame, he has withstood millennia of isolation’s torment.

His resolve surpasses that of all others!

A dark silhouette rises behind him, towering thousands of miles, radiating a presence that makes the assembled legendary wizards and Monarchs all react with subtle unease.

This marks the return of Lord Victor’s former legendary wizard guise, Shadow Watcher.
