Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2963: 602: The Fall of a Legendary Figure, Ten Layers of Destruction! (part 2)

Levi declared:

"For the next hundred years, I won't withdraw into secluded meditation. Should a fight arise, summon me, and I'll be there."

...

Three years passed.

Dusk Holy Temple.

Silver Dragon Knight Mansion.

"Wow."

A baby's wail echoed as the Silver Dragon Knight embraced his newborn third son, naming him Herter—the tiny Herter sporting a few strands of silver hair.

Gazing up at the Silver Dragon Knight who cradled him, he ceased his cries.

"My son, allow me to check for your wizarding aptitude."

The Silver Dragon Knight whispered, moving to retrieve a testing crystal.

Abruptly, an unsteady baby voice emerged: "No testing is required. This form possesses the elite Thunder Element talent fused with the [Thunder Heart]. I am the reborn Mr. Silver, Fermon. Kindly escort me to the Dusk Palace Master."

The Silver Dragon Knight froze momentarily, then responded:

"Senior, forgive me. I was unaware of your reincarnation in this place."

Mr. Silver replied:

"It's fine."

Soon after, Levi appeared.

He observed the baby and inquired:

"Mr. Silver?"

"Indeed, though I'm quite exhausted. An infant's spiritual power is frail, hindering speech. I appreciate your protection, Levi.

In the years ahead, I'll need your support."

"It's no issue."

"Naturally, Silver Dragon Knight, you are still my father. This vessel holds the Silver Mountain Dragon Bloodline, ideal for my Thunder Sect practice. Leveraging my legendary base and wisdom, I'll lift the Silver Mountain Family to legendary heights, perhaps even supreme!

This is my oath!"

Having uttered those words, the baby drifted off to sleep, a bit of drool escaping.

...

Nora Calendar, year 2020.

Mr. Silver perished, concluding his legendary existence prematurely, reborn into the Silver Mountain Family, igniting a fresh legend!

War's brutality cannot be overstated.

This round, the Nightmare, thoroughly equipped, proves far tougher than before; undoubtedly, additional level 10s will meet their end.

Such is the ferocity of this era of turmoil!

Similar to the Dragon Flame God Wizard, the council preserved Mr. Silver’s position.

Anticipating his eventual comeback.

...

Time races by, eighteen more years elapse.

Nora Calendar Year 2038, Blood Battle Year 1926.

In the Ancient Banyan Fairyland, the 2500-year-old Levi skipped a lavish birthday event; facing outer threats, he isolated himself for breakthrough pursuits.

Tower of Summer Flowers.

Clouds amassed, unleashing the level 9 Catastrophe with thunderous fury.

Elena, encircled by spiritual beings, with her wizard tower spinning nearby, demolished successive layers of catastrophe clouds, ultimately attaining the Ninth-Circle Realm.

In prior times, she had forged a novel Sun Refining Artifact, the [Heart of Lake], boosting her spiritual force by 1000 points and propelling the [Viewing the Sea] talent forward.

A companion creature was also birthed, a hybrid of dragon and serpent, able to control global freshwater networks, which Levi dubbed [Spirit of Dongting].

From Levi’s studies, the [River Heart], [Ocean’s Heart], [Lake’s Heart], and [Tide Spirit] could merge into a Legendary Artifact.

Thus, he directed Elena to continue this route, gathering more akin water Sun Refining Artifacts via creation.

Ultimately forming the [Lord of Ten Thousand Waters], dominating rivers, lakes, and oceans.

Upon ninth-circle attainment, Elena joined as the 205th Grand Wizard in the Nora Council. Actually, without the six wizard losses from the Nightmare War, the count would exceed 210 presently.

After discussing with Levi, Elena chose to venture to the frontline, refining her spells, Qi, knight paths, and forging battle merits!

Levi supplied her with survival talismans, scrolls, scarce items, and even elevated her [Dragon’s Protection] ring to ninth-circle standard.

Equipped thus, Elena’s security was guaranteed.

...

Ten years onward.

Nora Calendar Year 2048, Blood Battle Year 1936.

Fresh frontline dispatches arrived to Levi.

[Lady of Thunder and Wind Empress annihilated the early-stage level 10 Lord of Thousand Illnesses, involved in Mr. Silver's demise.]

[Shadow Fall Master in the Shadow World faced siege from Lost Monarch, dying in the labyrinth; Charactus clashed with Lost Monarch, holding a slight disadvantage even with home terrain in the Shadow World, revealing the awesome power of the Four Emperors!]

[Fire Bear Emperor fell to Devouring Sky Demon Lord, fleeing severely wounded via self-explosion, location unknown; the supreme relic "Fire Overture" was seized.]

[...]

[Flower Witch Elena vanquished the Ghost Eye Tyrant, saving allied forces from the Void Holy Temple; such feats right after ninth-circle entry are astonishing!]

Within a mere decade, numerous level 10s from each side had died or suffered heavy wounds, including the recent Fire Bear Emperor recruit, plus losing that supreme treasure.

Levi felt a weight in his chest upon reviewing this.

When fully committed, the Giant World displays immense dread, despite the Three-party Alliance's thorough readiness, level 10 casualties remained so devastating.

"Yet Elena has progressed greatly; I can ease my concerns."

Levi pressed on with secluded cultivation, anticipating the succubus queen's delivery of the demon lord—upon realizing it was an ally, his respect for Sauron deepened.

The deceptive succubus queen, actually the male succubus Sauron!

...

Decades slip past, thirty years further.

Nora Calendar Year 2078, Blood Battle Year 1966.

In Hell, across the Blood Battle Battlefield, demons withdrew completely from the lines.

Following intense and grueling defense, Hell secured the Ninth Layer; to date, over a third of the Seventy-Two Pillars have been lost.

Hell’s power structure saw a massive overhaul.

Casualties of common devils and undead in the initial eight layers were beyond numbering.

In Black King City, the enduring Demon Fox Main Mother and companions celebrated mutually, as the Purgatory Demon Sword quietly returned to the Ancient Dragon Continent for isolated meditation.

A hundred days afterward.

A Grand Tribulation erupted in the firmament.

A silhouette cloaked in wind, fire, and dark blaze, tore through all with unmatched power, advancing to the ninth-circle, eyes firm, staring toward the lofty astral realm.

"Three millennia, at last reaching the ninth circle!

Murder Angel, you must endure, for one day I'll unite with my brother to assault the astral world, drenching it in blood, honoring my pledge!"

Following that, the Purgatory Demon Sword resumed seclusion.

He now stands as a ninth-circle spell wizard, a feat not challenging for him. His true aim is emulating Gandaph as a ninth-circle body-refining wizard!

Upon dominating both magic and physique, he'll march to the Shadow Battlefield.

Reaffirming his way via combat, chasing legendary paths!

...

And so the moment arrives.

Levi’s three clones, cherished kin and allies, all ascended to demigod status, while he persisted in Destruction Heaven's seclusion, preparing for the ultimate surge.

...

Time arrows swiftly.

Years onward, Nora Calendar Year 2100, Blood Battle Year 1988.

Levi ignored frontline conflicts; unless Edmund summoned him, he'd cultivate domestically, expecting the demons' handover.

On that day.

Ninth Layer of the Destruction Heaven.

From the throne, Levi stood, his form encircled by the clamor of myriad divine halls, unleashing a maximum punch at the overhead barrier, demolishing it as vast energy flooded his being.

He vaulted to the Tenth Layer Heaven, whence he surveyed the Nine Layers of Destruction Heaven, climbing to an entirely novel domain.

A venerable bronze portal hovered overhead, inscribed with a scarlet giant dragon snarling, locking eyes with him.

Crimson Emperor Dragon!
