Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2904: 590: Sauron’s Golden Finger
Previously on Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method...
Dark Ancient Tower.
Without realizing it, two thousand years had slipped by since Levi's initial step into the ancient tower. He arrived in Kane Land, his formidable spiritual power scanning the vast world around him.
In every direction, wizard towers stood tall, academies bustled with activity, and humans prospered greatly. There were over ten primordial soul wizards just by count, and including the classic Supreme Archmage, the total neared twenty.
Both inside the tower and beyond its walls, vibrant spectacles unfolded everywhere. After consulting with all involved, Levi selected half of the primordial soul wizards to join him in exploring the broader realms.
For those satisfied with their current situation, he honored their individual decisions, allowing them to instruct others and savor their remaining days inside the ancient tower.
Existence isn't solely about verses and far-off horizons; it's equally about the battles right before our eyes.
Seventh Floor.
Rune Land.
"Flame Wolf, you're coming out with me."
"This... is it truly fine?"
"Indeed, I've seen your cultivation stall over the last century. Breaking through to Level 8 Peak inside this ancient tower seems quite challenging now. The place doesn't require your protection anymore."
"Thank you, Ultimate Saint! Oh, and... there's some fantastic news too; our Gray-White Academy has brought forth a remarkable newcomer this century."
"Bring me to meet him."
Levi encountered the newcomer.
Clad in a white robe, he stood erect with striking looks, emanating the aura of a fourth-circle Perfection level spiritual force. He was training in Gandaph’s devised "Purple Crystal Body Refining Technique."
He regarded Levi with poise, neither arrogant nor meek, displaying the bearing of a true powerhouse.
Levi inquired:
"What's your name, young fellow?"
"Platinum Fist Edward!"
Upon hearing this moniker, Levi paused in surprise for a moment.
Flame Wolf Saint hurriedly questioned:
"What's the matter, Saint? Is there an issue with this individual?"
Levi gave a slight shake of his head:
"No issue at all."
This youth named Edward was born in the year 1600 of the Nora Calendar, the very same year as Vicken, the "Arcane Star" from the present Arcane Academy.
His innate talent was ordinary, just a Child of Chaos.
Even so, within a single century, he had advanced the notoriously tough "Purple Crystal Body Refining Technique" to the fourth-circle stage, proving his body-refining aptitude was impressive. Yet the academy’s crystal failed to reveal any unique physique in him.
As a result, the instructors remained puzzled about how Edward achieved the fourth-circle level.
Levi instructed Leon to discreetly probe Edward’s previous existences. Tracing back 666 lifetimes, Edward held another persona... Platinum Wind, Roger.
In earlier times, Levi might have chalked it up to fate.
But in the present, he suspected it was the work of some schemer.
"Sauron..."
Roger had already used up all his opportunities for rebirth and re-cultivation long ago. Similar to the Arcane Emperor, his current incarnation was plain, with no ties to his former life. In this existence, he started once more as a mere Child of Chaos!
Thus, Levi took on a new apprentice for Gandaph, handing over the "Chaos Body Refining Technique" to Edward and encouraging him to train diligently.
Wishing he might carry forward Roger’s epic saga.
...
Land of Darkness.
Within the emptiness, hazy vapors gradually coalesced, shaping into a massive visage.
Grey Mist Monarch seemed rather bewildered, whispering to itself:
"What's happening? I've totally lost my sense of it."
"Curse it, just a level-9, yet so tough to handle?"
The initial assault war from the Nightmare World had ended in defeat, leaving a dark cloud over Grey Mist Monarch’s mind. Now, it had also lost sight of the Dusk Palace Master. These repeated failures stirred an undefined dread within its core... After a brief moment of doubt, it resolved to press on.
Keep going! Grey Mist Monarch! Persistence brings triumph!
...
Nora.
Ancient Dragon Continent.
One by one, illusory forms of colossal storm-wreathed beasts materialized across the skies and lands, their stares locked on the robust knight in red armor who harnessed gales and wielded flames.
Wind and Fire Dragon Witch, Leilon.
After hundreds of years, he at last finished preparing for Super Myth Evolution. The delay stemmed from the Dragon Flame God’s legacy and fate; chiefly, strong wind-elemental Legendary Creatures were scarce among known types.
He refused to settle for basic Super Mythical status; his goal was to forge a Supreme Bloodline master of wind and fire, ideally suiting his wizardly pursuits.
This synergy boosted his chances of attaining the Supreme in this life. Truly, he harbored the bold dream of rising to Supreme as both wizard and knight together.
This defined his drive!
"Approach, let me conquer these ancient essences lingering in the bloodline; I aim to climb steadily to the Supreme! Wind and Fire Dragon God Path!"
Leilon unsheathed his blade and struck upward at the firmament!
A pristine Hurricane Dragon and a dark Flame Divine Dragon intertwined like a twisted rope, coiling skyward in a blaze of radiant glory!
Following a clash that shook heavens and earth.
Leilon rested against his longsword, thrusting it into the rift ahead.
He breathed raggedly, overwhelmed by sheer joy.
"Well done, Leilon."
Abel clapped in approval.
His sire, the Fire Dragon Knight, stepped forth from the void as well.
"Excellent, now our Fire Dragon Family boasts a Supreme Bloodline too."
Mother Louise’s gaze brimmed with feeling.
"If Father could see this from above, knowing in the heavens, I can only imagine his delight... Supreme, a goal beyond his grasp in life."
In this way.
The 17th bloodline exceeding Myth emerged in the Dusk Holy Temple, dubbed [Dragon God Breathing Method]; Dragon Flame God Lehger fully evolved, reborn as royalty!
...
Dark Ancient Tower.
Ninth Layer.
Levi’s eyes gleamed vividly, his stare brimming with eagerness.
"Fine, this 18th Myth Bloodline, I’m curious about its destined owner."
Owning a Myth Bloodline simply signals the potential for level-10; still, enduring the myriad ordeals to truly become a Mythical Knight remains unpredictable.
Yet as Dusk Palace Master, Levi vowed to support every knight under him in achieving their aspired heights.
