Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2949: 599: Legendary Profession Light and Shadow Dominator (part 2)

Next, Levi plans to draw on the expertise of wizards and knights to propel the Seven-Colored Scale Clan back to its zenith, fostering the rise of its own level 10 powerhouse.

It didn't take much time.

Rowling arrived at the Emperor’s Palace, a smile playing on her lips as she said:

"I was conducting research at home and detected your aura."

"It's been a while, madam."

"I heard you took down the Holy War Army Master not long ago."

"Did that Blood Fire Dominator stir up issues in Nora?"

"Nothing like that happened."

"Once you've wrapped up your affairs on the Ancient Dragon Continent, make sure to visit the Supreme Council."

"Sure."

Levi made his way to the organization's vault, where he stored the more than five thousand Truth Oddities he had brought along. Adding them to the ones gathered by fellow members, the vault's collection swelled to tens of thousands. As the wizards of the Ancient Dragon Continent absorb all these, their collective power is set to climb to a new height.

Sorting through the spoils from the expedition alone consumed several days; the array of rare artifacts, otherworldly beings, and precious ores left the organization's leaders in awe.

"Is this the riches amassed by the God Race?"

"It's staggering—so much bounty, and they squandered it all."

"My contacts in other groups learned I'm stationed on the Ancient Dragon Continent; they're green with envy. Regrettably, their aptitudes are middling, so they couldn't join us here."

Following that, Levi joined the eagerly anticipated assembly of the Eighteen Riders of Twilight. Everyone showed up except for the reclusive Elena.

From the veteran knights, the Blood Knight, Black Knight, Ash Knight, Golden Lion Knight, and Saint Ape Knight endured, each at level 8 mid-stage in their cultivation.

The Goddess and Divine Light Knight were absent for the moment.

In the mid-tier group, Dark Moon Knight, Flower Knight, Thousand Illusion Knight, and Steel Dragon Knight were there, all at level 8 early-stage, while Silver Dragon Knight was away temporarily.

Among the fresh recruits, Crocodile Turtle, Jade Elephant, Fire Dragon, and Feather Knight stuck around. Snow Dragon Knight and Pheasant Knight were out for now.

The Fire Dragon Knight stood solo, having reached the level 8 late-stage domain.

The remaining three lingered at level 7 late-stage. Considering the Fire Dragon Knight's exceptional gifts, Levi believed they could all push for Super Myth at level 9.

Qing Niao, Halo, Peacock, Dragon Flames, and Snake Knight came on board afterward.

This formed the core lineup of the Eighteen Riders.

The group updated Levi on the organization's progress across the last three centuries. After weathering multiple crises, the holy temple's count of level 6 knights had surged past five hundred and kept expanding swiftly.

Back in pre-convergence Nora, such numbers were beyond conception, stemming mainly from the resource surge that unlocked civilization's hidden potentials.

In earlier times, scarcity confined visions, viewing a group with a handful of primordial soul wizards as elite.

Today, it's clear that with abundant resources igniting a tech boom, humanity's innate drive can reshape oceans into fields over mere millennia.

Progress in the Ancient Dragon Empire was also noteworthy, boasting over a hundred level 6 masters; yet level 8 prospects remained dim, limited to just three—the elder trio of kings.

All in all, the Lizardmen's innate limits held them back.

Levi figured level 9 marked their ceiling, but reaching this far already delighted the Lizardmen, embracing satisfaction in their lot—not every race reaches the apex of all clans.

Levi toured the Tower of Dawn, Giant Beast Paradise, Arcane Academy, Mechanical School, Dragon Descendant Priory, White Dragon Commerce, diverse combat squads, and the facilities crafting knight and wizard cards, beholding a vibrant panorama of emerging prodigies.

Records indicated that by the close of the second millennium, registered level 6 experts on the Ancient Dragon Continent topped three thousand, rivaling a full second-rate academy.

This epoch was forged by Sauron.

This was the radiant age dreamed by the wizard forebear!

...

Heaven Continent.

A figure exuding a mighty aura ascended the Heavenly Ascension Ladder steadily, conquering myriad ordeals to arrive at the Barbarian Ancestor Hall beyond the Nine Heavens.

"By the Barbarian Ancestor above! The Dragon God Barbarian Lord has returned!"

It turned its gaze to the hall, eyes welling with thrilled tears.

The Dragon God Tribe at last claimed a level 10 powerhouse.

"Excellent, truly excellent—my six Barbarian Masters are now whole, restoring my might to the level 10 pinnacle, hahaha!"

Heavenly Will's booming laughter resounded.

For the Blood Battle, for Nightmare, for Heavenly Chopping... this supreme warrior, architect of endless sagas, reignited his zeal, eager to defy the cosmos once more!

Last round, he fell just shy of the level 11 threshold.

This time, backed by potent comrades, nothing daunted him!

War! War! War!

...

The following day.

The Congress declared an expansion of the Supreme Council to 36 seats, with barbarian tribes securing seven key positions.

Powerhouses converged at the round table, eyeing the weary traveler Levi as he entered.

Edmund chuckled:

"The legendary vanquisher of the Council of Ten Thousand Clans is here."

Levi replied:

"I wouldn't claim the glory; it's the fruit of our collective toil."

Edmund continued:

"The Nightmare is mustering forces on an epic scale; in under a century, they could unleash a vast purge across the Pan-Plane. Though we've allied in a trio, our combined might pales against the Nightmare World, especially with the Abyss lurking covetously.

Levi, how soon until you reach legendary status?"

His question dropped, and the assembly of titans fixed their stares on Levi. Impressed by his feats, they held great hopes for him.

"Based on my pace now, it'll be at least three centuries or so. Spiritual force isn't a big hurdle; what demands time is crafting the tenth-ring spell model, plus securing a legendary artifact... Knight-wise, it's progressing comparably."

Naturally, without insisting on supreme legendary artifacts, Levi could ramp up his spiritual force fast and ascend via Elemental Proof.

Yet he aimed for flawlessness in each stage, ensuring invincibility at level 10 and dominance over the Star Ancestor at level 11!
