Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2962: 602: Legendary Fall, Ten Layers of Destruction! (part 2)
Previously on Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method...
"Instinct."
Suddenly, Levi inquired:
"What is your name?"
"Steve!"
"Just a hundred years old, yet you've achieved dual cultivation in fourth-circle body-refining and spells as a wizard. Impressively gifted, carrying an aura of legend." Levi grinned.
"Senior, your praise is too much. I simply got fortunate."
"Come on, I'll arrange a fine mentor for you beyond this place."
Levi pondered briefly, deciding to inform Louise about Steve's former existence. Though he's a different individual now, it could bring her some solace.
Nothing remarkable happened in the following levels.
Levi roamed the ninth level for an entire month, clutching Huang in his left hand and Shu in his right, gathering 234 Truth Oddities that included 2 Radiant Suns, parts from the Water God and Golden God Series, plus 1 level-nine rare treasure and 23 additional valuables.
Other benefits require no further detail.
The level-nine treasure, dubbed [Golden Summit Divine Sword], holds considerable might yet falls short of elite caliber and isn't a gift from Sauron. Upon exiting the ancient tower, Levi presented it to Jinx.
At present, with a solid base established, the Seven-Colored Scale Clan, backed by council directives, advances rapidly and could soon reclaim the splendor of the Seven Calamities Ancient Clan.
Among the seven clans, the Golden Scale Clan and Green Scale Clan stand as the mightiest. Both Jinx and the Star Splitter have attained late-stage level nine cultivation, facing few obstacles to peak level nine.
However, ascending to level 10 might demand the endeavors of the coming generation.
Not long after his return from the ancient tower.
One day, Levi abruptly got a transmission from Edmund.
A sense of foreboding gripped him.
Supreme Council.
Vast lightning energies surged, rifts tore through the void with resounding booms.
The Lady of Thunder remained seated, eyes shut, brows knitted in concern.
Edmund entered and declared:
"Mr. Silver has perished..."
Levi's heart jolted; he promptly questioned:
"Has Mr. Silver employed his chance for reincarnation and rebirth?"
Edmund shook his head.
"Not yet. This marks his initial legendary phase... but absent the Star Sky Sword Saint's intervention to safeguard his true soul, reincarnation would be impossible."
Only then did Levi ease somewhat.
In such a vital juncture, the loss of a legendary figure heaps disaster upon trouble.
Besides, post-reincarnation and cultivation, despite keeping his memories, serving again as the Lady of Thunder's ally could seem awkward.
Imagine if Mr. Silver returned as a female...
Edmund continued:
"That said, prior to his demise, Mr. Silver dragged a Nightmare Monarch down with him at the cost of his life. Soon, I'll reach out to the Underworld to arrange Mr. Silver's swift reincarnation."
Levi responded:
"Very well; if necessary, he can reincarnate on the Ancient Dragon Continent, where I'll offer protection. Henceforth, the Ancient Dragon Continent shall serve as a haven for reincarnated legendaries."
Edmund agreed:
"Indeed, that's feasible... Incidentally, the Lady of Thunder will soon command the expedition to the Shadow World. The Wind Empress, Whale Emperor, and others will provide reinforcement. Nora's defenses could prove vulnerable, so you and I may need to watch over them together.
Naturally, continue your routine cultivation and seclusion.
Should battle arise, I'll summon you.
If you're amid a pivotal breakthrough, fully isolated, we'll prioritize your progress and block any interference during your tribulation!"
Levi stated:
"Grand Council Chairman, allow me to join the Shadow World mission as well—I aim to slay a few Nightmare Monarchs and ease the frontline burden."
Edmund considered briefly and replied:
"It won't help much, truthfully... Levi, your path to legendary isn't in the Shadow World but here in Nora."
"What do you imply?"
"This invasion includes the demon lord essential for you. Plus, you may be unaware... the succubus queen belongs to our side."
Levi displayed astonishment.
"To our side?"
"Correct; else, why dispatch those Mythical Creatures to Nora... The Rainbow Dragon's capture stemmed from the Queen's covert schemes; without them, seizing it amid that turmoil would have eluded me.
Just four individuals know:
Myself, you, Sauron, and the succubus queen.
The Queen acts as Sauron's spy in the Abyss World, and to dodge detection, the succubus queen frequently raids Nora, stirring up chaos.
In reality, it's all pretense.
This assault gathers every demon lord you require and will strike Nora at the perfect moment. Remain here to attain legendary rank!
Once done, venture freely. With your power, barring a level-11's involvement, you're utterly unstoppable across the Multidimensional Plane.
Surely, should a level-11 emerge, I won't stand by.
In truth, I've ascended to level-11 awhile back; merely, my realm wavers, and I can't yet wield this ultimate might at will.
Until I fully command this force, I dare not release my full potential, lest I dissolve into knowledge, merge with truth, and forfeit my essence.
Have you pondered why the Supreme Will spawns diverse level-11 avatars? They face dilemmas like mine, often intensified.
Abyss, Nightmare, Star Ancestor, Mother River—they hesitate to meddle directly.
Only amid vast civilizational upheaval or their own peril.
Typically, they slumber.
Yet the Netherworld Ancestor, Chaotic Servant, Master of Horror, though less potent, face far fewer bounds and can dominate all.
Truth be told, numerous level-11 warriors persist in the Multidimensional Plane; they merely fear the Giants, lurking in shadows, biding for the ideal chance."
Levi had long suspected Edmund's attainment of level-11.
His confirmation now stirred profound inner shock.
Yet from Edmund's account, level-11 brings not pure gain.
Linking to his earlier exchange with the Time Dragon, ascending to supremacy evidently exacts a toll, varying by path.
