Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2976: 606: Quasi-Giant Nora!

Even though the Nightmare Monarch managed to flee, a host of overlords and lords got stranded in the Shadow World. In that realm, countless mighty beings unleashed a ferocious slaughter, staining rivers with blood.

The Nightmare side suffered devastating losses, comparable to the initial grand invasion. With the final Nightmare Creature wiped out, peace finally settled over the shadows.

All present showed the elation of having survived a catastrophe.

"This is incredible, I never imagined we'd truly defend this spot."

"I nearly thought the Shadow World was doomed to vanish."

"Four monarchs fell in this fight, a massive blow to the Nightmare. It buys us at least a hundred days of peace."

"We owe so much to the Dusk Palace Master, who in that desperate hour struck down four monarchs, revealing himself as Nora's secret trump card!"

From this day forward.

The mighty warriors of the Shadow World now fully trust the Nora Council. Repelling over thirty monarchs single-handedly—that's the aura of the old Supernova King.

The Crimson Emperor Dragon touched down, shifting to the familiar "black-armored swordsman" form. Levi's expression carried a hint of unfulfilled craving.

Not nearly enough slaughter, far from it.

The Lost Monarch proved utterly spineless; after merely four monarchs dropped, it lost the will to battle and fled with its forces, shaming the Four Emperors.

Nora's powerhouses clustered nearby, exchanging handshakes and words with Levi, showering him with endless gratitude.

The Lady of Thunder asked:

"Levi, how do you feel right now? I noticed your spiritual force spike suddenly—did you activate the Ascension Secret Technique?"

"I just used it briefly; it won't affect me much."

The Wind Empress breathed a sigh of relief and remarked:

"That's reassuring. If you need to mend your Spiritual Origin, I've got a vial of Life-Giving Potion brewed by the Thousand Mountains Immortal."

Levi plays a vital role in the battles ahead against the three giants. Edmund is formidable, yet as a Guardian, he can't abandon Nora amid so many rival powerhouses.

Nora requires a blade of unmatched might to smash level-10 foes and bolster fronts whenever needed. Levi fits that role perfectly.

Right now, as a mere Knight Level 10, he can already challenge Level 10 Late Stage. Upon reaching the legendary domain, he'll at least rival Level 10 Peak.

Beneath the Supreme, none can stand against him.

This stands true only at Level 10 Early Stage; as his sub-realm advances, Levi's strength will keep climbing, possibly gaining Supreme Power without even ascending to Supreme.

That's the key point! A genuine Supreme's value to a civilization pales against Levi's "Supreme Combat Power" pseudo-supreme.

A Supreme gains top-tier cosmic might in this universe but faces universal constraints, ironically trading away liberty. If they avoid frequent action, the toll stays light. But overdoing it brings vague, dire repercussions.

To counter this, Supreme Will crafts Supreme Level avatars or proxies. The real body stays dormant except in civilization's do-or-die crises.

For now, no fix exists for this bind—perhaps only true Supreme Realm attainment and universal transcendence can shatter it.

Sensing the Legendary Wizards' kindness, Levi grinned and replied:

"Thanks, Lady Andrea. I'm doing well."

A silhouette materialized in front of Levi—it was the Star Sky Sword Saint.

"Levi, have you hit level 10?"

"Yes."

"Hahaha, excellent! Remember our deal."

"When the war calms, we'll have that spar."

Levi inquired:

"What's the next step for the Shadow World?"

Charactus responded:

"This clash taught me that isolation here won't hold off the Nightmare. Sir Levi saved us this time, but it might not happen again.

The Undying ShadowVicna sparked a realization in me. The Shadow World must abandon its age-old divisions and strive for unity.

Beginning with the Nora Dark Side, we'll incorporate the Shadow World, then assemble the dispersed fragments across the Multidimensional Plane, rebuilding the universal Dark Side.

So, I plan to bring the Nine Shadow Sovereigns into the Nora Council. Please relay this to the Star Sky Sword Saint and Lady Hera."

The Star Sky Sword Saint nodded: "I get it."

Unlike the Void Holy Temple, the Shadow World has a fixed base. The Void Holy Temple resembles a wandering group without a home base; Hera fears no Nightmare Monarch assaults on her turf.

Levi commented:

"This is fantastic. Today's Nora echoes the Shadow World of old—we tread the same road. Plus, Nora dwells in light while you reside in shadow. Light and dark can harmonize without major clashes or rivalry.

The wizards' Shadow School of Thought can bridge light and dark, speeding up the gathering of dark shards for all."

"Well said, thank you, Sir Levi."

With this, the Three-party Alliance shrinks to Two-party. The Void Holy Temple's scale looks trivial next to Nora's.

Following talks with the Supreme Council.

The massive merger with the Shadow World kicked off. Unlike earlier standard plane integrations, this former near-giant super world—even its mere surface—dwarfs the entire New World's sum.

Success here will rocket Nora Dark Side's growth. The bolstering force will deliver the light side its greatest upgrades ever.

...

Five years on.

Nora Calendar 2170, Blood Battle 2058.

Nightmare World, Lost Domain.

Nightmare Monarchs dropped from above, their expressions grim, like mourners for a kin, staying mute for ages until a skeletal form arrived.

"Pale Monarch? You survived?"

The Lost Monarch demanded sharply.

Other monarchs fixed cold glares on the Pale Monarch too.

The Pale Monarch forced a wry grin, heaved a sigh, and uttered:
