Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2979: 606: Quasi-Giant Nora!
Previously on Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method...
"Vicna’s ultimate dream revolves around founding the Shadow Network. Thanks to your help in this instance, I’m certain that moment will arrive before long."
"Hmph, entrust it to us."
...
A decade afterward.
During the 2180th year of the Nora Calendar.
A warrior clad in dark armor positions himself at the boundary of Nora’s growing domain, driving a enormous halberd into the earth next to him. He radiates the presence of a guardian who blocks all intruders.
From concealed spots, countless eyes appear to be observing.
Levi stays composed. Back from the Shadow World, his spree of battles continues. No matter who approaches next, he stands prepared to confront them.
It all hinges on if those hidden watchers possess the courage.
His legendary act of defeating three Monarchs in one day and badly injuring another has echoed throughout the Multidimensional Plane, making the Dusk Palace Master’s reputation universal.From the instant he attained level-10, to numerous observers, his standing rivals veteran titans such as Edmund or Hera.
Sensing Levi’s murderous aura.
The assorted sinister stares dispersed and withdrew.
Time flows onward, and suddenly, two decades have elapsed.
The merging of the Shadow World and Nora’s Dark Side concludes, creating a Nora expanded fivefold in size, stretching across the shadows, brilliantly radiant. Within the emptiness, Levi awakens his eyes, rises, and directs his steps toward home.
"Those so-called titans are simply bullies who cower before the mighty and prey on the vulnerable."
...
Nora Dark Side.
Vicna’s presence strikes fear. Owing to the boost from Nora’s Dark Side, he shattered records by ascending from Ten Rings Ordinary to Perfection faster than anyone since the council’s formation.
Yet, this advancement amounts to just an expansion of spiritual power. His mindset, wisdom, incantations, and legacy lag far behind a typical Ten Rings Perfection.
The following phases demand solid, grounded progress.
Nevertheless, facing the Nightmare, Nora’s assurance grows. As the Dark Side Dominator with Vicna’s strength, he could even challenge the Four Emperors if they appeared.
At present, the Nora Council boasts members with late-stage level-10 fighting prowess such as:
Edmund, Heavenly Will, Charactus, Mountain Giant King, Spiritual Venerable, Frost Witch, Vicna, and Dusk Palace Master, amounting to 8!
Including Hera from the Void Holy Temple and the Star Sky Sword Saint, that reaches 10. These form Nora’s core defenses, the sturdy support against threats like the Demon Lord and Demon Sovereign.
...
This very day.
Atop the Tower of Heaven, Edmund addresses the whole of Nora’s realm.
In the 2200th year of the Nora Calendar, marking the 2088th year of the Blood Battle, the union of the Shadow World with Nora, mutual guardianship and aid, jointly conquering the Great Tribulation.
Twelve additional positions join the Supreme Council, totaling 56. Subtracting the deceased Dragon Flame God and Mr. Silver, 54 level-10 combatants remain!
Among the fresh additions, 10 are Shadow Monarchs, and the Worm Lord, freed from the Black Emperor’s Enslavement by Levi, entered the Supreme Council and earned merits to offset past misdeeds.
The final addition is the Dusk Palace Master.
This pioneering knight has formally reached the level-10 [Star Knight] stage, equaling mythical beings through sheer human might.
The Dusk Palace Master, amid the Shadow Battlefield, executed four Monarchs, shifted the crumbling tide, rescued the crisis, flipped the fortunes, honoring the title of ultimate knight!
News of Levi’s breakthrough to level-10 sparked celebrations across Nora! Prior to this, not even his inner circle knew of his progress, thanks to his sudden strike on the Nightmare.
This revelation stunned the masses.
Innumerable voices raised cheers and claps.
They hail Levi as: Ancestor of Knights!
...
Ancient Dragon Continent.
"I’m no Ancestor of Knights; more accurately, that honor belongs to Heavenly Will or the Ultimate Creator..." Levi mused with resignation.
Such hollow honors don’t occupy his thoughts much.
Still, no matter his view, in this age, across Nora’s inhabitants, knights evoke Levi’s name foremost.
Similar to how wizards bring Sauron to mind instantly.
Imperial Palace.
Elena returned with Levi from the Shadow Battlefield as well. After close to two centuries of trials, her wizard practice has solidified, while her Energy Sect and knight developments advance deeper.
Armed with several nine-level artifacts, her battle prowess exceeds standard level 9 mid stage, allowing clashes with level 9 Perfect. Should all three paths hit level 9, she might stand invincible shy of level 10, a mini Levi in her own right.
Reunited after endless longing, they reveled without pause, locked in passion for three months, ending their intense "clash" as mighty entities. Later, Elena, cheeks rosy, nestled against Levi’s torso, her fingertips drawing lazy loops.
A thought struck her, prompting sudden words:
"My Ancestor of Knights, your fame now spans the globe, you’ve reached level 10, and I’m at level 9... shall we try for a child?"
"True enough, the 18 Twilight Cavalry have all started families except our Black Snake lineage, which lags in heirs. Now’s the moment—let’s begin."
"You consent so swiftly? I figured you’d fret over the Great Tribulation and hesitate to bring a child into wartime chaos?"
"Before, my power fell short, and I hadn’t secured my place in the Multidimensional Plane—how could I think of lineage? Today, surveying the realms, foes capable of slaying me number barely a handful, with half still in slumber, so protecting you comes easily... Plus, I wonder just how powerful our offspring might turn out."
Beyond level 9, a knight’s vital essence evolves. Offspring from a level 10 and level 9 knight union promises something exceptional.
Through persistent endeavors, the pair battled ardently for nearly half a year. Just as Elena neared her endurance’s edge, conception occurred at last.
"It’s clear why pure-blood dragons are scarce; even with my Lovers Rune boosting fertility, it proved so challenging—imagine for others."
Elena caressed her belly, detecting the nascent form of the fresh life within. As a transcendent, she felt an innate sense:
"Levi, this child feels destined for greatness; it might require a century to birth. You won’t claim I’m delivering a dragon, will you?"
"Unlikely; my human bloodline holds strong sway. In truth, I remain somewhat human... the baby should lean more human-like too."
"Excellent."
In the midst of warfare, Levi at last prepared to embrace fatherhood.
Now, the weight on his shoulders encompassed not only the Ancient Dragon Continent and Nora, but Elena and their child as well—both the vast world and intimate kin held equal weight.
...
Two years on.
"Levi, I sense there could be three..."
"Really? Allow me to check."
Levi probed Elena’s womb inwardly and confirmed three budding vital forces, voraciously drawing on the mother’s sustenance, expanding wildly.
A sudden insight hit Levi, leading him to summon Leon.
"Investigate the prior incarnations of these three fetuses for me."
"Certainly, Master."
Leon promptly initiated the probe.
Shortly, surprise etched his features.
"Master, I’ve uncovered it, though I’m unsure if I should reveal."
"Speak freely."
Leon gestured, and visions unfolded like reversing past-life reels, showing Levi myriad ordinary folk, beasts, and other existences.
The vision halted at the 99th prior life:
Amid icy peaks, within a cavern, a white-furred bear mother with three cute cubs of differing coats.
Then, a wolf horde slew the bear mother, a youthful knight repelled the wolves from the heights, and an elder knight discovered the three orphaned cubs in the wilds.
Recollections from over 2600 years past flooded in.
"That youthful knight was you, the master, correct?"
"Indeed."
"How marvelous, the three cubs, after a hundred cycles, return to your side once more."
"Three bear cubs—it’ll get lively soon."
