Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2981: 607: Ancient Tower Master!

Lou Luo Saint King announced:

"The Nightmare Army withdrew from the Shadow Battlefield... Nora emerged victorious. The Dusk Palace Master reached level-10, and using his strength by himself, he compelled more than thirty Monarchs to pull back."

Bo Ruo Saint King showed astonishment:

"What? Wasn’t he just at level 9 a thousand years back? Even picking a day for Divine Enthronement and a sudden rise would demand plenty of setup time, wouldn’t it? How on earth did he pull this off?"

Spirit Heart Saint King commented:

"This complicates matters greatly. Could Nora pull off a real surprise? Nightmare dispatched over eighty Monarchs; how did they fail to win?"

Lou Luo Saint King shared more dire information:

"Following the clash in the Shadow World, they even stooped to blending into Nora’s Dark Side. Now, the top powerhouses in the Nora Council likely surpass fifty. It’s turned into a quasi-Giant level world. What are we going to do..."

Undying Saint King inquired:

Xuanjia Saint King stated:

"We have to brace for the worst and avoid relying entirely on the astral world. I propose rousing the Golden Will and seeking a path to flee alongside the Sacred Realm."

Heavenly Wisdom Saint King, silent until now, parted his eyelids:

"Evacuate? To where exactly?"

"The Multidimensional Plane stretches infinitely; there must be spots for us to take root?"

"The Universe has limits. Actually, our current coordinates sit at the edges of the Multidimensional Plane, past which sprawls the infinite void; that’s the divide between this Universe and the next, a realm of turmoil and disorder from clashing elements. Your level 10 fighting prowess there could drop to less than level 9."

"Yet we can’t simply await our doom."

"Stay calm... Begin by awakening the Golden Will. Should the ancient one elevate to Supreme, we’ll gain protection. The Sacred Realm has weathered numerous Great Tribulations and still shines brightly, and once the Dusk Palace Master climbs to Supreme, that spells his end.

Have faith in me, excluding the Underworld, the Supreme Wills of the other Three Realms will surely step in. Nora appears mighty, but it’s just Giants fattening up their game.

All the worlds Nora has swallowed and the riches seized from the Giants will revert to the Giants during a Grand Reckoning.

In history, those who hold firm by the fishing dock love to indulge, then harvest the rewards; it’s an eternal principle!"

...

Abyss.

The succubus queen roused from slumber on a bed of purple clouds, lying on her side, softly caressing her curvaceous thigh, a slender smoke-like object between her lips as she puffed out vapors.

"Queen, when do we strike at Nora?"

"Why the haste? Didn’t you notice the Dusk Palace Master hitting level-10? Given his strategies and the Nora Council’s capabilities, we’re nowhere near their league."

"So... do we keep on enlisting forces?"

"No, let’s bide our time for the perfect opportunity."

All at once, two fearsome presences materialized beyond the demon encampment. A band of demon lords rose to Demon Mountain, alert and on guard.

Lost Monarch and Ignorant Monarch.

The expressions of the demon powerhouses shifted.

"Two among the Four Emperors have come; what’s their intent?"

"How did they learn of our location?"

"I’ve heard Ignorant Monarch grasps events of past, present, and future, armed with profound insight—their divinations probably uncovered it."

"Our Abyss harbors sages too, though they refuse to show."

The pair of Monarchs held back from assaulting, while the demon powerhouses awaited their supreme leader.

Before long, the succubus queen arrived with elegant poise. Having surpassed layer 660 in the Abyss, she possessed Four Emperor tier might, so she felt no dread toward them.

"Honored visitors." The queen laughed seductively.

Ignorant Monarch cut straight to it:

"Care to team up and crush Nora before parting ways to compete on our own merits?"

The queen answered, "I’m not keen."

Lost Monarch began to depart; he’d expected scant chance of alliance anyway.

Ignorant Monarch remarked:

"Do you believe we’ll allow your plan to reap benefits as the outsider?"

A scroll unfurled within the succubus queen’s thoughts.

[Alliance feasible; this is prime time to inflict severe harm on Nightmare...]

The succubus felt a surge of interest, and with a sly grin, she replied:

"I’m open to partnering, though I’ve got stipulations."

"Which stipulations?"

The succubus queen leaned close to Ignorant Monarch’s ear, her breath warm and murmur intimate—audible solely to him.

Upon learning the terms, Ignorant Monarch’s brow creased faintly.

The queen radiated boundless charm, her pleasure essence making numerous level-10 demons in the rear pant audibly.

It represented the pinnacle of seductive power in the world. Even Lost Monarch, a Four Emperor, found himself slightly stirred.

Ignorant Monarch queried the tablet in his consciousness.

[Accept the succubus queen’s offer; it’s ideal for dealing massive blows to the Abyss...]

Noting this, Ignorant Monarch gained confidence and offered a faint smile.

"Fine, I accept."

...

At the same time.

Underworld, Netherworld Ancestor Hall.

The swordswoman in grey robes finished her bath and attire, spotting the ‘Sorren Quotations’ on the desk humming and glowing intensely, a sight she’d grown accustomed to.

She flipped open the Sorren Quotations, where streams of words surfaced.

[Abyss and Nightmare could forge an alliance, amassing more than one hundred twenty Level 10 experts, set on assaulting Nora. Abyss stands as Underworld’s sworn foe—Nightmare’s pact with them warrants dropping impartiality to launch a strike.

Both Abyss and Nightmare nurse hidden agendas. Their partnership is bound to implode, yielding minimal gains; Underworld ought to side with Nora.

Grasp this opening to gravely injure Abyss and Nightmare, for it’s a pivotal clash, and triumph would signal a major shift in our cause.
