Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method

One could offer sacrifices to at most nine great entities simultaneously.

At that moment, the practitioner’s life would immediately reach its end, possibly even incurring a debt of longevity that innocent future lives would have to repay…

Levi calculated. For humans, a short-lived species, it was impossible. Even for most longevity species, whose lifespans were several times longer than humans, it was no different.

For instance, members of the Blood Clan, the Dragon Clan, elves, the Amethyst Race, and others could not afford to use it frequently.

Moreover, this method of sacrifice consumed all of one’s life until death, only to potentially elevate one’s realm by a single level. The cost far outweighed the benefits.

Of course, if faced with a mortal crisis, one might consider using it as a last resort.

However, given Levi’s disposition, such a life-or-death crisis was unlikely to ever arise.

And if it did, a single realm’s elevation wouldn’t solve the problem anyway.

This was why he decided to seal the book away.

For example, Gryus, an innate god whose lifespan was as long as the heavens and earth in the Red Plane.

Apart from such exceptions, any other race that started using it would be trapped, like gambling with no way out.

The problem was, a being like Gryus was likely on the same level as those so-called “great entities” and wouldn’t care for the power they bestowed.

“Useless thing,” Levi muttered, shaking his head.

There were other methods in the codex, but they were probably no better. He decided not to read further.

He put aside The Necromancer’s Codex, focusing wholeheartedly on his cultivation, waiting for the emergence of the Truth Oddity.

…

Three months later, in the secret room, within the array that enhanced the fire element.

Levi had already used his Crimson Emperor Dragon Flames to smelt all the Amethyst Race remains together.

“Playing the Dragon Abomination, it’s not ideal to always fight bare-handed. Might as well forge a weapon suited for the Dragon Abomination.”

The Crimson Dragon Slash was easily recognizable, and its quality was lacking. It had been damaged last time and needed to be nurtured back to health.

Until it was reforged, Levi wouldn’t use it.

These Amethyst Race remains were the best material for forging a weapon. He only needed to smelt them, add some supplementary ingredients, and shape them to his liking.

For the Dragon Abomination, no fancy functions were needed.

One word, hardness!

Time flew by.

Another month passed.

In the secret room, Levi’s weapon was finally forged to completion.

A spiked club, over ten feet long and covered in purple spikes, emerged. The head of the club was a menacing dragon’s skull.

“This is the divine weapon suited for my current identity.”

Levi held the spiked club, swinging it effortlessly. The powerful gusts it generated made the array tremble.

He went to the Giant Ax Canyon, stretching his Dragon Abomination body, which was as tall as a two-story building, and started warming up.

Then, his muscles tensed, power surged, scales bristled, and the black flames of his Dragon Abomination blood qi coiled around the spiked club!

With one swing!

The black flames surged forth, penetrating deep into one side of the canyon!

The mountain split open, forming a thousand-meter-deep chasm with black flames clinging to it.

The scene was like the aftermath of a god’s wrath.

Levi was overjoyed. The spiked club felt perfect in his hands. It was just as smooth and familiar as his longsword, without a hint of awkwardness.

It felt as if his Dragon Abomination form was destined to wield a spiked club as his wizard tool.

“If the Six Heavenly Gods wielded this spiked club, they could probably crush a Fifth-Circle Wizard.”

Levi was thoroughly satisfied.

“This club needs a name. Until the Crimson Dragon Slash is reforged, this will be my main weapon. Let’s call it the Black Dragon Rod.”

Now armed with his new weapon, Levi immersed himself in his training, continuing as the hidden boss of the Giant Ax Canyon dungeon.

…

In the blink of an eye, the new year arrived.

In the year 1169 of the Holy Brilliance Calendar, the Month of Beginning, the fourth year of the Dark Ancient Tower calendar.

At the 68th round table meeting, Levi learned that another member had broken through to become a Blood Awakening Knight.

This new member was named Eir, titled the Feather Knight.

He hailed from the Dragonhawk family, a noble house of the Molten Kingdom.

Their inherited breathing technique was the excellent quality Dragonhawk Breathing Technique, a strength-type technique.

Dragonhawks, legendary divine birds of immense strength, bore the name “dragon” because of their ability to battle dragons with their great power, despite having no dragon blood.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Additionally, the Dragonhawk Breathing Technique had notable speed attributes. In this respect, it was similar to the Maya Breathing Technique, an endurance-type breathing technique with decent speed attributes.

Eagles are perfect creatures, aerial killing machines with no apparent weaknesses.

With this addition, the Twilight Knights now had fourteen full members, leaving only four positions vacant.

During Levi’s absence, the members had been growing stronger quietly.

By the end of last year, the Blood Knight had entered the Second Transformation of the Blood Source realm and forged his divine weapon, the Wind Moon Sword.

With a divine weapon, combined with his Talent Brand and powerful combat techniques, his strength was now comparable to that of a senior third-circle wizard.

Knight Hogg, who focused solely on the path of the knight without wizard talents, also entered the Second Transformation of the Blood Source realm. His divine weapon was the Ash Greatsword.

Seeing the Blood Knight and Knight Hogg’s divine weapons emerge made the Black Knight and others envious. They were now eagerly pushing towards the Second Transformation of the Blood Source realm, aiming to forge their own divine weapons.

The Thousand Illusion Knight successfully stepped into the second-level knight realm, elated by the achievement.

The Goddess Knight had begun preparations for advancing to a third-circle wizard.

Even Emperor Mu, through continuous consumption of potions, had advanced to a second-circle wizard.
