Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2910: 591: The Grey Mist Monarch Falls!
Previously on Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method...
The Dark Land.
A vast and infinite gray fog surrounds everything.
A sudden trap activates, targeting Levi directly.
One has to admit, this Nightmare Monarch possesses impressive cunning.
It appears to have perfected a certain pursuit method, sticking to Levi stubbornly like a parasite, laying an ambush during Levi's time inside the Dark Ancient Tower.
The instant Levi emerged, he plunged right into the snare.
Right now, Levi had no desire for battle; facing a mid-stage level-10 opponent, victory was impossible, and it would merely drain his energy and delay him.
He triggered the Invisible Secret Word, picking a random path ahead.
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, he had already covered a million miles.
Levi materialized from the glow, his face grave and serious.
Everywhere lingered the unending gray fog, thick and insistent, attempting to breach his Blood Battle Armor, infiltrate his flesh, all while a wicked chuckle echoed nearby.
"I've warned you, nobody can flee from my Grey Mist Domain. Do you believe slaying a single Artu sets you apart?"
Levi paid no heed to the Grey Mist Monarch's mocking words.
This foe truly held some clever tactics, far surpassing Artu in prowess. It might not excel in straightforward clashes, yet its powers carried an uncanny edge.
The Grey Mist Domain twisted and bewildered space itself. Thus, although Levi felt he had shifted a million miles via teleportation, in reality, he remained in place.
The domain's span didn't actually stretch beyond a million miles.
To verify his theory, Levi performed three additional teleports along the same route, surpassing four million miles total.
As expected, the gray fog's grasp still held him tight.
"Twisting space—fascinating." Levi gave up on escape plans, unsheathing the Crimson Dragon Slash. If combat was what it craved, then he'd deliver.
"Haha, decided against fleeing now?"
That voice rang out once more from the fog's depths.
Levi offered a slight grin, settling into a cross-legged position.
"Indeed, no more running—I'm merely resting a bit."
The roiling fog closed in from every angle, and Levi caught the crackle of space fracturing, like some unseen barrier aiming to trap him inside.
Awe-inspiring force weighed heavily on the Blood Battle Armor, igniting fierce blazes across its surface.
Levi stayed composed; beyond spiritual force, he relied on the Blood Battle Armor's unyielding defensive toughness, which no one below level 11 could shatter.
To craft that single Blood Battle Armor, Sauron incorporated ten level-10 Crystal Cores. Let alone the additional Divine Artifacts, Primordial Relics, and resources poured in.
The Vajra Sacred Realm's might enveloped him completely, blocking any chance for the fog to seep through, as he pondered strategies to shatter this deadlock.
Perhaps the Grey Mist Monarch feared Levi somewhat; up to now, it avoided revealing itself, merely persisting in wearing him down via the Grey Mist Domain.
"In scenarios like this, breaking the core form is typically the key to victory."
Levi's Deep Red Eyes burst apart, firing countless crimson rays across the expanse. Beyond predicting threats, the Deep Red Eyes could also shatter deceptive veils.
As a Nightmare Monarch, this formidable adversary probably depended on sophisticated illusion arts. With that in mind, he'd deploy the Nightmare Emperor Dragon.
"That won't work."
The ghostly tone returned once more.
The crimson glow faded slowly; Levi withdrew the Deep Red Eyes, a smirk crossing his lips.
"Ah, so that's your position."
The gray fog quieted briefly, then let out a mocking scoff:
"Attempting to lure me out? How foolish."
It refused to accept that Levi had pierced its deceptions.
Levi rose to his feet, unwilling to linger in this spot, fearing he'd get hauled to the Nightmare World's stronghold and turned into a sealed artifact.
"Omniscient, nothing can hide! No Hidden Heaven!"
Buzz!
The Six Holy Heavens came down, and Levi's presence faded away.
"Curse it, that's not possible!"
A shocked cry reverberated through the fog.
Inside No Hidden Heaven, Levi materialized upon a Throne, gazing down from a separate plane and realm, piercing every illusion and labyrinth beneath.
In his view lay a gray fog mass spanning roughly ten thousand miles, twisting about, while an enigmatic energy tugged at the nearby space, shaping it into a globe. Beneath this force field, space looped into a endless circle.
"It's clear now why I couldn't soar free—that explains it. This approach is clever; it inspires me and will prove invaluable for later studies on space-based spells."
The Deep Red Eyes fixed on the mist's southeast edge, spotting a sly silhouette glancing skyward, locking eyes with Levi.
A massive limb of gray fog stretched toward Levi.
"Escape is futile! Regardless of the dimension you slip into, you're forever bound to the base space; whether through teleportation, Void Travel, or Elemental Escape Technique, departure is impossible. Welcome to my Grey Mist Domain!"
"On the Space path, not even numerous late-stage level-10s match me. Especially not you, a mere level 9 knight depending on raw might."
Boom!
Levi's figure dropped sharply, exiting No Hidden Heaven, with the Blood Battle Spirit manifesting at his back, spearheading the assault to the southeast, unleashing a raging Blood Sea in pursuit.
The enormous foggy limb smashed into the Blood Sea, ripping it asunder, hurling the Blood Battle Spirit aside.
Seizing the moment, Levi unleashed his Sword Qi, extending it to strike the Grey Mist Monarch's true form.
He invoked the six-layered Holy Domain's strength, activating every one of the Blood Battle Armor's six attribute enhancements save for spiritual force; regarding the Frost Giant Ancestor's power, he held it back for now, since it endured only briefly and demanded the perfect instant.
"One Spear Breaks Nine Stars!"
Drawing from the Holy War Monarch's spear art, it linked the Nine Heavens' stars, and as stellar illusions winked out, utter devastation surged forward, with Sword Qi swallowing the foggy figure whole.
The Grey Mist Monarch's form vanished entirely.
All at once, from Levi's rear, a huge gray fog palm smashed down upon him.
Bam! His body launched through the air, blood and tissue exploding inside.
"Tsk tsk tsk, rumors say you possess undying resilience. Show me how often you revive. In this realm, genuine eternity doesn't exist!"
