Unknown secret place.

In the lush primeval forest.

Levi did not move forward rashly. At first, he just suspected that the "Levi" next to Rose was fake.

Now, he began to suspect that "Rose" and the others were also fake.

"No, it's impossible. I'm just scaring myself. Qiangwei is a member of the Witch House. There are so many high-level Yuanhun wizards in the Witch House.

If it was really some [evil spirit] pretending to be him, with their terrifying mental power and knowledge, it would be impossible for them not to sense it! Unless this [evil spirit] was stronger than the Yuanhun wizard!

This is even more impossible. Such a powerful being doesn't need to be so mysterious and play tricks! What's the point of them doing this?

Everything needs a motive. You are so strong, are you doing this just to fool others? Is it interesting? You are just bored!

Therefore, if there really is an [evil spirit], or some kind of [dead spirit] causing trouble, it must not be that strong, so we can only rely on this old-fashioned perceptual deception to create an illusion!

To lure me into the trap step by step, or to give me a fatal blow when I have a mental breakdown and let my guard down.

Haha, I won't be fooled!

Besides that, my danger sense didn't alert the police... But, then again, is danger sense accurate?"

At this moment, Levi suddenly realized that he seemed to rely too much on danger perception.

"It's so boring to deal with all these weird things."

Levi's face was grim.

Inside the storage bag, Leon was wandering around anxiously.

"Leon, what's wrong with you today?" Levi asked.

"Master, I... I'm hungry." Leon said.

"Why are you hungry?"

"I...I don't know. I'm hungry, Master. I want to eat that."

Leon just kept repeating one sentence over and over again, like a child who didn't understand anything.

Levi didn't waste any more time.

An endless feeling of coldness came from all around, and along with it came the sound of "them" talking to Rose.

Apart from that, everything around was quiet, with only the sound of Levi's heartbeat like a burning furnace, like firewood bursting and crackling in the fireplace.

He touched his chest muscles that looked as strong as gold and iron, as well as the cold scales on his body, and held Frostmourne tightly in his hands.

A sense of security emerges.

"Haha, all fears come from insufficient firepower. I'm not afraid of these things." Levi clenched his fists and began to retreat silently.

Anyway, there are some weird things here, so let's not explore it for now.

It's not that Levi is afraid, he just feels it's boring…

"It's just a monster. If it dares to appear in front of me, I will crush it with the Dragon Warrior! Let the fire purify everything!" Levi muttered to himself as he retreated.

He heard a crunching sound under his feet, but he didn't look down. His synesthesia told him that it was just a fallen branch.

Suddenly, he looked at a lively tree beside him. On the rough bark, there were some unknown small insects chrysalis.

Levi frowned and spread out his right palm. There was still a trace of the casting materials of the Yangyan Explosion spell on the palm.

"I just used Yangyan Explosion to burn this place. The area within a hundred meters is all ashes... What happened? It grew so quickly? Damn it... I haven't broken the illusion yet?!"

Levi's expression changed slightly.

He looked into the storage bag and saw the gray crystals formed by death.

"It's a bit weird. It feels like a dream, but also like reality. Can't I tell the difference..." Levi pondered in his heart.

When he dreamed in his previous life, this kind of situation always happened: he thought he had woken up from a nightmare, but in fact he had just entered a deeper dream, the so-called "dream within a dream". Only after he was really awakened by the alarm clock did he realize that the last time he thought he had "woke up", he was also in a dream.

However, since he became a wizard, he never sleeps at all. When he sleeps occasionally, he never dreams, as dreaming is a sign of poor sleep quality.

“Old-fashioned.”

He no longer cared about "Rose" and the others in front of him. No matter whether "they" were real or fake, Levi didn't care. He just wanted to leave here.

He knew that exploring ruins never led to good things.

Gradually, the sound of "their" conversation became farther and farther away from Levi.

In the place where Levi had just fought with the beautiful snake, it seemed as if nothing had happened, and the sound of birds singing could be heard again in the deep and dense forest.

It's like I just pressed the pause button, and at this moment, I pressed the play button again.

In the dense forest.

Levi walked towards the exit in his memory with full vigilance. He did not run or fly away, as that would only make him appear afraid of "the other party".

Levi was not afraid at all. Since that evil creature dared to appear in front of him, he directly physically killed it!

Levi returned to the exit in his memory, a dark cave.

There was no green light door in the cave, and there was a rotten smell in the air, as if it had come from a long time ago.

In fact, this is the cave that Levi and his friends came from. Logically, there should be a green light gate, and passing through the light gate is the abyss under the sea.

"Sure enough, the exit is gone. Either someone has closed it, or I am still in a fantasy world. Even my memory is starting to become a little disordered?"

Levi's heart turned cold. He took a deep breath, held Frostmourne, and turned back in the previous direction.

"Let me see what the hell you are!"

…

Soon, Levi returned to the jungle.

In the place where Qiangwei and the others rested before.

They are no longer here.

Levi followed with an expressionless face.

He didn't know how long it had been, but as the sounds of conversation gradually emerged ahead, he finally caught up with Qiangwei and the others.

They also seemed to be anxiously looking for Levi.

The moment she saw Levi, Rose looked relieved. She smiled and said, "Sir Levi, why did you fall behind? We are all waiting for you."

Li Wei's synaesthesia dissipated, and his heart skipped a beat. The "fake Li Wei" was gone...

The illusion is gone?

The Eye of Ashes emerges.

The world before my eyes turned gray again.

Rose and the others were like bonfires with flying ashes.

"It's alive." Levi said to himself.

"Sir Levi, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling a little uncomfortable? Have you encountered an evil spirit?" Mrs. Baishui asked with concern.

When Regorio saw this, his expression remained unchanged. He just urged, "Now that we are here, let's go to the botanical garden quickly. After we kill the Red Nether Bird and divide the herbs, we will leave. This place is indeed a bit weird. It seems different from the last time I came here. It makes me feel uncomfortable."

"I'm fine, let's continue." Levi said with a smile, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Let's go."

The group set out again.

This time, Levi followed them closely.

At the same time, he opened the proficiency panel and took a look.

Levi——

Golden Snake Breathing Method: Fourteenth Level...

"call......"

For some reason, the moment he saw the proficiency panel, Levi's slightly nervous and anxious heart calmed down again.

…

I don't know how long it will be.

Levi and his companions finally passed through the woods and came to the entrance of a deep valley. The valley was shrouded in a layer of gray fog, and the scenery inside was not clear. The outlines of some plants were visible in it, like silent people standing there. Indistinctly, one could feel that something was peeking at them in the fog.

A simple signpost like the ones in the mortal world stands here.

【Botanical Garden】

At the bottom of the sign, there are small bloody words.

[There are guards inside. Do not enter the botanical garden to steal herbs without permission. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences at your own risk! - Botanical Garden Management Committee]

Levi stopped in front of the sign.

Danger perception, there is a sense of danger coming from the general direction of the botanical garden. It could be the Red Nether Bird, or it could be something else...

"Don't worry about that. This was established before the organization was destroyed." Legorio frowned.

"Haven't you been here once? Do you know why this organization perished?" Levi suddenly asked.

Rose shook her head, and Lady Whitewater thought about it, also confused, and looked at her partner, Legorio.

"Don't ask me. Although I was the first to discover this place, I don't know much more about it than you do.

I guess it could be due to some forbidden experiments, or it could be due to the misfortune of a dark wizard.

Sir Levi, if you are worried about danger, just withdraw. Anyway, I am confident that I can capture the Red Nether Bird without you. If it weren't for Ms. Qiangwei, I would not want to bring you here for fear that she would break her promise to you. "Legorio said impatiently.

"Levi, don't worry. Before we came in, didn't we sign an agreement not to harm each other?" Rose showed a helpless and pleading look. She didn't want Levi and Legorio to have a conflict.

"Let's go, I'm just curious, I mean no harm."

Levi was not angry. He was the first to step into the botanical garden.

As soon as you enter here, you can feel the elemental power that seems to be even more intense than outside. Levi guessed that there should be a large element gathering array to facilitate the growth of plants.

Levi had already heard the chirping of some kind of bird, deeper in the valley. The sound was a little hoarse, shrill, and intermittent...

"Be careful, there may be evil spirits lurking in the botanical garden. Madam, please stay close to me so that I can protect you. Evil spirits are most afraid of fire and lightning. Madam Rose, you'd better not stay too far away from me..." Regorio suddenly reminded. "Sir Levi, I heard that you are a body-refining wizard. You should be able to protect yourself, right?" he asked again.

"Well, leave me alone."

The heavy water barrier force field around Levi lit up, and the cold feeling gradually disappeared like the tide.

A force field vortex like golden smoke also lit up around Regorio, swirling around him and forming a golden tornado. Within the tornado, strands of golden electric currents intertwined into a web, forming a terrifying force field that was enough to shatter all darkness.

There was a crackling sound of electricity, and the fog in the botanical garden seemed to be blown away.

It has to be said that the strength of this Legorio should be the strongest among the three-ring wizards Levi has ever seen. He even suspected that the other party might have mastered three innate spells.

"If this is an illusion, then everything that has happened so far is too real. Even with my mental power as a three-ring wizard, I cannot see through the illusion..." Levi pondered.

Suddenly, in the fog, there was the sound of insects flapping their wings in flight.

Levi was about to take action when Legorio stretched out his hand and pointed, and a golden lightning chain like a long whip tore something out of the mist.

It was a jade green mantis, about the size of a puppy, but the difference was that the head of this mantis was... a human head.

It was also the head of a beautiful woman, and the appearance of this beautiful woman was exactly the same as the beautiful snake that Levi had killed before!

"Death falls."

Levi was not in a hurry to take action. He wanted to see how Legorio would deal with the opponent.

"Master...I'm hungry."

Leon's voice came again.

"Just stay hungry. I'll give you a good meal when I get out." Levi said.

All around Legorio, golden chains of lightning emerged like tentacles from his golden thundercloud-shaped protective force field vortex. These chains of lightning all hit the monster that Levi called the "Beautiful Mantis".

The terrifying sound of electric explosion resounded throughout the botanical garden. Under the terrifying firepower of Regorio, the [Beautiful Mantis] died after experiencing several minutes of pain.

A gray crystal appeared on the ground. Legorio looked at it. It seemed that this was not the first time he had killed the Fallen.

He collected the crystals, and Levi noticed that these crystals were much smaller than those of the [Beauty Snake] he had killed.

According to Owens, the larger the crystals that precipitate after a dead monster dies, the stronger the monster will be.

After doing all this, Legorio breathed a sigh of relief and drank a bottle of magic power recovery potion calmly.

"This thing is the [Evil Spirit]. It's extremely evil and difficult to kill. If it were an ordinary three-ring extraordinary creature, it wouldn't have lasted half a minute under my attack just now." Legorio said with a frown.

"An evil spirit?"

Whether it is [evil spirit] or [death], they are just different names for the same thing.

These monsters always gave Levi a sense of déjà vu, even though he had never seen them before.

"A monster with a human head..."

He suddenly remembered the specimen called "Nightmare Creature" that he found in the wizard ruins of the Dreamland Tower branch at the bottom of Mirror Lake in the Loess Continent.

There are frogs with human faces on their backs, spiders with human faces, and even strange birds with human faces on their buttocks. The mouths of the human faces are the excretion outlets of the strange birds...

"Nightmare world, ash world...are these two worlds connected in any way?"

Levi suppressed the doubts in his heart.

Qiangwei and the others were already moving forward.

Next, we occasionally encountered some "evil spirits" on the road.

Levi didn't even make a move, and these guys were killed by Regorio. Although Levi didn't like the family disciples, he had to admit that Regorio was a very reliable and powerful teammate.

He would always put away the gray crystals, not knowing what to do with them.

Lyon was shouting "hungry, hungry, hungry" all the way. This strange little insect guy seemed to have entered a state of uneasiness and anxiety after entering this secret realm.

Finally, Levi and his team stopped in an open space.

In the fog ahead, there were tall stone pillars vaguely arranged in the pattern of some kind of magic circle. On the top of one of the stone pillars, there was a big black bird perched on it. It seemed to notice Levi and his group, and opened its eyes that were burning with black flames.

"The Red Nether Bird is indeed a real supernatural creature that has been declared extinct." Levi murmured in his heart.

No matter what, he had to find a way to capture this thing alive. A dead Red Nether Bird could not provide Li Wei with the breathing technique for long.

After the legend, the secret medicine needed to practice the breathing method requires the blood of extraordinary creatures. The "blood" here is not ordinary blood, but the [blood essence] purified from a large amount of blood for use as medicine.

Therefore, only living extraordinary creatures can be used by Levi for a long time.

In fact, the ideal situation is that every extraordinary creature can have a partner of the opposite sex, so that they can pair up and give birth to more offspring in their own Alice rings for their own use.

However, for most extraordinary creatures, it is difficult to find just one, and it is even more difficult to find a pair to mate. Even for these extraordinary creatures themselves, with their long lives, it is unknown whether they can find their other half. The more powerful the extraordinary creature, the more difficult it is.

“See that stone formation? As far as I know, it is a four-ring magic formation [Endless Wind and Fire Formation]. It is precisely because of this magic formation that this damned beast is so rampant. Later, I will use the three-ring magic formation I prepared to temporarily suppress the effectiveness of this magic formation.

Taking this opportunity, the three of you, especially Lord Levi, remember, you must kill the opponent within one minute.

Because my magic circle can only last for one minute, even if you only leave a trace of life for the beast, it will be reborn in the big formation." Regorio emphasized.

"I understand. Be careful." Mrs. Baishui said with concern.

"Thank you for your concern, ma'am." Legorio smiled.

Qiangwei looked at Levi, and Levi nodded, indicating that it was okay.

"If you're ready, I'll start." In Regorio's pupils, golden lightning was constantly appearing and disappearing.

He chanted complicated spells, and golden flags broke through the fog and rushed into the sky. Then a golden eight-pointed star formation appeared on the ground and went towards the direction of the stone pillar.

In an instant, the collision between the two formations began.

The stone pillars trembled, and black rays of light connected between the different stone pillars.

The Rose Witch's eyes were focused, and in front of her, a bright mirror made of huge water flow appeared.

A ray of white light shot out from it and shot towards the Red Nether Bird.

This is the Rose Witch's innate spell: Flowing Water Mirror!

Madam Baishui used her second innate spell, Flower of Gluttony.

As a terrifying giant carnivorous plant took shape, the black bird was enveloped by it.

Its tragic roar was so loud that it pierced the clouds and split the rocks, causing pain to people's eardrums.

"Levi, get ready!" said Rose.

Swish.

The black bird claws tore through the defenses of the Flower of Gluttony, leaving it covered in wounds, but these wounds were constantly repairing. Without the effect of the formation, the self-healing effect was weakened.

The Red Nether Bird, wrapped in black flames, rushed towards Levi and the others.

Levi revealed his true form as a fire dragon, with the power of dead ashes wrapped around his body.

boom!

He rose from the ground and collided with the Red Nether Bird.

The next moment, the Red Nether Bird was directly repelled. Levi stepped back slightly, and his big hand wrapped in the power of dead ashes grabbed towards the Red Nether Bird.

Endless black flames swept over and submerged Levi.

Although these flames are strange, they are still fire after all.

For him, who now has a high resistance to fire elements, the damage is very low, not to mention that he has golden scales protecting his body, so Levi was not hurt after these flames swept through.

This shocked the Rose Witch and Madam Whitewater a little, but then they were overjoyed.

Levi's strength is stronger than they imagined. So, killing the Red Nether Bird should not be a problem.

Time passed by every second.

Half a minute.

Legorio was already pressing.

"Hurry up, I can't hold on any longer."

Li Wei slashed out with the sword of sorrow, and the sword energy of destruction swept across!

The Red Nether Bird's head was chopped off!

The next moment, new heads began to emerge on the cross-section.

Wrapped in the power of dead ashes, it curbed its growth.

Levi took a step forward and pushed the Red Nether Bird from the sky into the ground!

Boom!

In the botanical garden, countless birds were startled, the earth trembled, the fog cleared, and the scene became clear!

The power of one kick is so terrifying!

Levi cut the Gordian knot and chopped the Red Nether Bird into pieces.

The guy's torn body was shaking, as if trying to come together.

"Dead Ashes!"

Levi increased the strength of the dead ashes, and the surging force like a tide of ashes enveloped all these bodies, like chicken nuggets coated in breadcrumbs.

The curtain of Mahakala bound and entangled the Red Nether Bird, and Levi's Five Dragons Majesty formed waves of mental shocks, attacking the Red Nether Bird's soul.

The enslavement effect of the Five Dragons' Majesty is only effective against the dragon clan, but it can also produce a mental attack effect on other beings whose mental power is weaker than Levi's.

The Red Nether Bird, which was being held down by Levi, wailed loudly, its spirit gradually weakened, and it was about to turn into ashes.

Levi's Scarlet Dragon Breathing Technique has not yet advanced, otherwise he could force the other party to sign a contract now.

He prepared a three-ring [Soul Binding Ring] that he had prepared long ago. This was something he had deliberately prepared in order to capture the Red Nether Bird. It cost him nearly 200,000 Taishi, which could be said to be a huge investment. Some rubbish four-ring magical weapons might have cost about the same.

Now Levi's total Taishi reserves are less than 100,000.

But considering the potential and preciousness of the Red Nether Bird, it is still worth it.

As the contract magic weapon took effect, the Red Nether Bird stopped struggling, but Levi did not let it go. He tied it up with the Curtain of Mahakala and put it into Alice's ring, asking the Wind and Thunder Pterosaur Raja and Tyrant II inside to keep an eye on it.

"I have solved one problem. The next step is to find a way to leave here."

Levi took a quick rest while Legorio put away the magic circle. His face was pale, but soon turned rosy after drinking some expensive-looking potions.

"Didn't I tell you to kill it?" Legorio asked coldly.

"I am a parabiologist. If I capture him alive, isn't that the same thing?"

"What if the other party breaks your contract?"

"Don't worry, it won't happen." Levi's expression remained unchanged.

Golden lightning flashed in Regorio's pupils. Madam Baishui grabbed his arm and shook her head gently, signaling him to relax.

"Then you can only take 10 percent of the herbs," said Regorio.

"It doesn't matter." Levi shrugged.

Rose came over and said, "Levi is a super biologist. Although he is better than our Newt and won't kill super creatures, he certainly won't have the heart to kill a super creature with his own hands. Don't worry, he has the ability to suppress it."

"This won't happen again." Legorio said coldly, and then quickly took Madam Baishui to the precious herb garden on the other side of the magic circle.

Qiangwei gave a bitter smile: "Let's go too."

Levi looked apologetic: "Sorry."

"Alas, we are all friends, there is no need to be like this. You should thank me. If it weren't for you, it would be difficult for the two of us witches to defeat each other within a minute." After saying this, Rose quickly flew towards the medicine garden.

As the battle subsided, the dispersed fog came back from all directions, cold and gloomy.

Levi took a step forward and reached his big hand into the fog on the side, grabbing a chameleon with a beautiful woman's head. The beautiful woman was caught and could not move. She opened her mouth and her long tongue like a chameleon came out, accompanied by her saliva, and shot towards Levi's face.

Levi saw the circles of teeth in the beautiful woman's mouth, which were similar to his own vampire touch.

He said nothing, and the power of the dead ashes combined with the fire of the Red Emperor turned the chameleon into nothingness.

"Bah, ugly thing!"

…

In the medicine garden.

Regorio, Rose, and Madam Baishui were already collecting herbs. Levi looked at these herbs. He had most of them. They were also produced in the plane where the Ancient Saint Empire was located. He had already obtained the Red Nether Bird, so he couldn't be too greedy. In the end, they had left over some, so he could just take some.

So he was not in a hurry to pick them, as this secret place was full of weirdness.

He looked around and planned to wait for them to finish picking the herbs and then go back together.

In the Green Fairy House, Leon's voice came: "Master, I'm hungry..."

"I'll be out soon." Levi looked at the strange insect that was becoming more and more anxious.

"This is mine." Legorio appeared in front of a herb and said expressionlessly.

"This is mine." Qiangwei also said.

"This is mine." The White Water Witch also said so.

"You choose. I don't want any herbs. Let's leave after you choose."

Levi lowered his head and said, his face turned cold. He looked at his arms, the hairs standing up stubbornly in the cold wind.

The cold and weird feeling seemed to come like a tide, unstoppable, drowning Levi!

“This one is mine.”

“This one is mine.”

“This one is mine.”

“…”

In front of Levi, Qiangwei and the other three kept "flashing" in front of the herbs, and then repeated this sentence without emotion. Accompanied by the rendering of fog, this scene was like the picture from an old camera with a stuck frame.

They seemed to have forgotten Levi again.

"Again... oh."

Levi sighed.

He held out his palm.

As flames mixed with endless deadly ember power shot up into the sky in the medicine garden, the horrific explosion dispersed the fog once again.

In the firelight, Rose "they" still flashed in front of the destroyed herbs, repeating the same words:

“This one is mine.”

In an instant, it seemed as if there were millions of voices in Levi's ears, all saying the same thing.

"So, you guys are just using repetition as a trick to play tricks?"

Levi let out a long roar and suddenly soared into the sky. He jumped high and the shadow of Nine-Sword Asura appeared behind him.

Armor made of golden scales, battle robe made of blazing flames, cape made of scarlet...

Bloodline Dharmakaya·Nine Swords Asura!

Gray-white air currents wrapped with the power of dead ashes shot out in all directions.

In the fog, faint screams could be heard.

"This is mine... mine... mine."

The repetitive sound gradually faded away. Levi put away his bloodline body and released Leon from the Oz Fairy House.

In his heart, which was as calm as dead water, some hideous whirlpools began to emerge.

"Master... I'm hungry." Leon was repeating it. If it weren't for the intimate and real master-servant feeling brought by the spell, Levi would have wanted to chop this guy up as well.

"You're hungry... Then go hunt. I'll wait for you here. Come back when you're full."

Levi's eyes were cold. He inserted Frostmourne into the ground of the medicine garden in front of him. He sat cross-legged behind the sword, with his right hand on the hilt, motionless, like a wise king!

After getting permission, Leon's blurry face showed a happy expression.

"Thank you... Master... There are so many delicious foods." Leon roared and rushed into the fog, with screams coming from it.

A silver coin appeared in Levi's palm. He flicked his fingers and the silver coin was shaped into Owens' tall body in mid-air.

Owens fell to the ground with a thud. He looked at Levi who was sitting there and said, "You were besieged by the dead? There are so many dead breaths. My God, how did you hold on? I am the Hundred Slayers of the Dead, and I am not sure I can survive the siege of so many dead."

"I think so, but these dead bodies are irrelevant. There is something behind the scenes." At this time, Levi was no longer panicked, and the corners of his mouth rose.

"Owens, chat with me for a while."

"Ah? You actually used precious silver coins to summon me to chat with you. You... are wasting resources." Owens imitated Levi and inserted the silver sword into the ground in front of him.

"Go ahead, what are you talking about?"

"Tell me the story of Windmill Village and Baron Megan..."

Levi looked ahead, his eyes penetrating the thick fog, and his voice gradually became lower.

Owens nodded and began to talk about his story.

"Lord Megan is a very gentlemanly lord..."

I don’t know how long it took.

Levi was almost hypnotized by boredom as he listened to Owens' story.

He looked at the empty ground around him. Owens had left not long ago.

Leon hasn't come back yet.

After perhaps another day, the fog in the valley completely dissipated.

In the dense forest, a chubby figure appeared.

"Burp... Master, I'm full... There were so many, I couldn't finish them all, they all ran away..."

"Do you know where he ran to?" Levi asked, his eyes gleaming.

"I know, but I'm too full... I can't move." Leon lay there, flat on his back.

"Leon... do you know what you are eating?" Levi asked.

He felt that, unknowingly, Leon's language expression ability and intelligence seemed to have improved... he was growing.

“Food.”

Lyon said.

"Just pretend I didn't ask." Levi remained silent.

He now suspected that Leon might have been accidentally mutated after the Holy Armor Scorpion ate some weird things similar to these dead creatures.

Levi carefully recalled the food he fed them.

Time passed by every second.

Levi felt a little uncomfortable without Owens nagging around.

Unfortunately, he had no silver coins left, and he had to admit that the ghost behind the scenes was quite capable.

He pondered, and gradually, he became confused.

Sometimes true, sometimes false, both true and false.

None of this matters.

The important thing is... nothing is unkillable, Levi firmly believes this!

Mortal knights fear the so-called "undead evil spirits, the undead" because of ignorance and lack of firepower.

The same is true in the wizarding world. Even wizards have blind spots in their knowledge.

The greatest fear is the unknown.

This situation happened because I have no idea about that ghost thing, it doesn't mean that the other party is strong.

If it was really strong, whether it wanted to take over Levi's body, kill Levi, or have other intentions, it could easily subdue Levi directly.

But it didn't. It relied on the three teammates who came in with Levi to constantly torture Levi's spirit and will.

"By the way, where did that fake me go?" Levi remembered the "fake Levi" who disappeared after he turned back.

He regained his consciousness and entered Alice's ring to confirm that the Red Nether Bird was still there and had not turned into some ghost thing.

The gray crystals left behind by the dead people he had killed were also there.

These should all be true!

"Leon, take me to find your food."

Levi waited for a long time, but the existence did not come to find him.

So he wanted to take the initiative.

"OK……"

The shell on Leon's back suddenly opened, and film-like wings grew out from it.

Levi followed Leon and disappeared into the deserted valley.

After a long time, the fog came again and the botanical garden seemed to have returned to normal.

…

Leave the weird botanical garden.

Levi followed Lyon all the way.

A secret realm is not that big to begin with, and he didn't believe that he couldn't find those sneaky things in such a tiny place.

After that, Levi searched for a long time but couldn't find Qiangwei and the others.

He stopped looking for them, and now it seemed that something might have happened to the three of them.

In the secret realm, Levi's perception of the passage of time seemed to begin to weaken.

He didn't know how long he had been walking.

Now he stopped under a huge tree.

The giant tree is covered with all kinds of green vines, plants, flowers, and butterflies resting on it. The patterns on the butterfly wings look like a pair of big eyes.

"Fortunately, it's not a human face, it's just a normal butterfly." Levi whispered in his heart.

His synesthesia detected a body behind the vines.

The flame in his hand burned away the vines, revealing the rotten hollow tree hole inside.

Inside the tree hole, there was a rotten corpse whose original appearance could not be seen. There were a lot of caterpillars lying on it, some of which had even formed pupae. The butterfly that Levi had just seen hatched from the pupae...

After being frightened, the insects ran away quickly and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Levi looked at the robe that was still intact, with a golden lightning pattern on it...

"Regorio?"

Levi did not draw a conclusion.

He stuck out his golden tongue and collected the breath.

Although the smell of decay was strong and mixed with countless scents, Levi noticed that the smell of this corpse might... not be Regorio's.

"Earlier, a disciple of the Lightney family entered here and died in this tree hole."

Based on Levi's understanding of the decay rate of wizards' corpses, this disciple may have been dead only a few years ago.

"The first person to discover this secret place was Regorio. Could this be one of his companions who entered here with him and died here?"

Legorio had not mentioned this situation beforehand, it was just Levi's guess.

While Levi was on guard, he searched around the corpse.

Unexpectedly, the corpse's storage ring is still here.

Levi broke the restriction above, and then opened it and found some unexpected surprises inside.

Fifty thousand Taishi, some low-level spell books, and three spell crystal balls.

There are three-level spells on the crystal ball.

"Ray Snake Technique", "Thundercloud and Wind Violence Field", "Chain Lightning".

"Thunder Snake, that's exactly the advanced spell of Thunderbird that I need. It saves me a lot of money. The other two are also good. That force field should be the one that Legorio used."

Levi put these away.

He also found a piece of red metal about the size of a human head in the corner of the storage bag.

"This... is actually Skyfire Meteorite, an elemental metal that is even more advanced than Yaojin."

Even with Levi's state of mind, he was a little excited.

Such a piece of meteorite iron is worth more than the amount of gold Levi used to cast Tyrant II.

Because this meteorite can be used to forge four-ring, five-ring magical weapons, and even soul weapons.

Just to get this piece of meteorite, even if Levi didn't get the Red Nether Bird, this trip to the secret realm was worth it.

Of course, the premise is that Levi can get out.

"At my current level, the Frostmourne forged from Yggdrasil is indeed not enough, and it's time to forge a better weapon for myself.

It seems that this disciple of the Lightney family did not die at the hands of a wizard, otherwise the storage bag would have been taken away long ago."

After confirming that there were no other clues, Levi left and let Leon continue to lead the way.

The twisted and deformed corpse in the tree hole was silent until the caterpillars swarmed again and the vines covered the tree hole again...

Finally, Levi followed Leon to a foggy plain. In the fog, some buildings could be vaguely seen. The outermost ones were mortals' huts, and inside were the wizards' mansions and wizard towers. In the center, Levi saw a wizard tower that stood out from the crowd and soared into the clouds.

From the outside, the wizard tower has five floors. Some more sophisticated wizard organizations generally use the number of floors of the wizard tower to reflect the status of the wizards therein.

The fifth floor might be a wizard tower of a five-ring wizard. If this secret realm is an intermediate wizard organization, then this seems to be the core area of ​​​​the entire secret realm.

"Master, there's... lots of food inside. I want to kill them all... and eat them all..." Leon looked at the wizard tower with greed in his eyes.

Levi touched Leon's head, and Leon rubbed Levi's big hand affectionately.

"Then come with me and take a look. Since something only dares to hide in the dark and does things, and doesn't dare to confront me directly, then we will take the initiative to confront... it."

There was a crackling sound from Levi's bones. He tilted his head, holding Frostmourne in his hand, stepped into the mist, and headed towards the wizard tower.

The walls of the mortal residences along the way were dark and damp, covered with colorful and sticky mold.

Levi paid close attention to every detail around him. He did not waste any more energy destroying the surrounding environment.

After the previous battle, he roughly knew that this secret realm might have been interfered with by some force, which might be a magic circle or an illusion.

In short, the answer may be in the wizard tower.

In the fog all around, there was the sound of women's laughter, and through these laughters, it seemed as if one could see the faces of women, some charming, some sad, or some cold.

"Ouch." Leon hugged a [Beautiful Centipede] with a beautiful woman's head that rushed towards Levi. He opened his mouth wide and swallowed the beautiful centipede whole. The centipede's legs struggled.

More and more weak dead creatures rushed towards Levi, who was entangled in the power of dead ashes, like moths to a flame.

When Levi saw those dead monsters that were constantly being annihilated, he suddenly felt confident.

"Are you starting to get scared?" Levi grabbed a monster that was rushing towards him. The monster had a lizard's body, with insect-like membranous wings on both sides, and a circle of standing crown-like things on its neck, with colorful scales shining.

"This... looks a bit like the nightmare lizard in the Dream Dragon Breathing Technique inheritance diagram, but that nightmare lizard doesn't have a crown, and doesn't have such a brightly colored body."

This is one of the few monsters in the fog without a human head. Like the Red Nether Bird, it should be an ordinary supernatural creature. The five dragon majesties in Levi's body were activated and swept towards the spirit of the strange lizard in front of him.

Inside the lizard's brain, there was a blank. Five terrifying dragons of different shapes, all high above, were staring at it from an indescribable distance.

It didn't take long for the strange lizard to calm down, whimpering, terrified, and begging for mercy.

Levi knocked the guy unconscious, tied him up, and put him in Alice's ring.

"Even if it's not a nightmare lizard, it must have the blood of a dream dragon."

Levi dripped blood into Rowling's crystal ball.

[Unknown extraordinary lizard bloodline 67%, unknown dragon bloodline 4.3%...]

"It seems that the database in the crystal ball doesn't have it, but it's most likely Meng Long."

Wherever Levi passed, the weak dead creatures died quickly and turned into gray crystals.

He had lost count of how many he had killed, and Leon didn't want to eat any more, so he asked Leon to put away the rest.

Owens' record of 100 kills is nothing compared to Levi's.

His synaesthesia swept over those mansions and those small wizard towers. There were some timid figures hiding in them. Maybe they were dead or something else. However, they were beginning to be afraid...

Levi came to the bottom of the largest wizard tower and the fog broke.

There stood a man who looked exactly like Levi.

Levi smiled and he smiled back.

Levi moved, and he moved too.

Levi sighed inwardly, recalling how he had been teased along the way. The moment he saw this "fake Levi", an unknown anger burned in his heart.

The hellfire wrapped around Frostmourne and turned into a flaming sword. Levi's body expanded rapidly until he was the tallest existence on the plain, except for the wizard tower!

He exhaled a hot, foul breath filled with the smell of sulfur, and endless flames cleared the fog around the wizard tower.

He looked at the tiny "fake Levi" below.

"You change too."

The terrifying world-destroying flaming sword, wrapped in the black power of dead ashes and the gray-white destructive sword energy, the two forces, one black and one white, swirled and entangled like a yin and yang fish.

"Fuck you!"

boom!

The fog on the plain seemed to be torn open by an angry god, and sunlight penetrated in, illuminating the face of the fake Levi.

This face seemed to be constantly changing. There was Levi, Regorio, Rose, Lady Baishui, and the face of a strange man...

Finally, its appearance was finalized.

It turned into a face Levi had seen before, expressionless and with empty eyes.

Dense swarms of dead creatures swarmed around it like locusts, blocking out the sunlight.

boom!

Fire and darkness collide.

The wizard tower collapsed in the huge earthquake.

Levi looked at everything that had turned to ashes and the distorted face.

"The Ancestral Witch of Extreme Fire."
