On the shore, a wizard apprentice in a light blue wizard robe was practicing spells.
The wind is blowing, and an ordinary wizard apprentice like him with no background and no talent must work hard to learn how to fly!
Until a bloody tentacle suddenly emerged from the bottom of the sea, pierced into his back with a "puff" sound, and then emerged from his abdomen. Then the tentacle wrapped around his head in circles, suffocating him.
With a whoosh sound.
The tentacles disappeared without a trace, and the wizard apprentice also disappeared on the coast...
On the back of Leviathan.
The bloody tentacle threw the wizard apprentice here, and then retracted from Levi's palm.
This wizard apprentice obviously didn't understand the situation yet and thought he was attacked by some kind of octopus monster.
It was not until he saw the silver-haired man on the whale's back that he saw the other's calm eyes filled with fierce murderous intent.
"Now, I'm going to ask you some questions, and you'd better answer me truthfully," Levi said.
"Who are you? I'm from Whale Song Island..."
Phew.
Before the wizard apprentice could finish his words, the hideous tentacle appeared again and bit off one of his fingers.
His painful wails and desperate voice were drowned in the waves.
"What level are you at? How dare you put yourself up in front of me?" Levi pulled the finger out of the alien's mouth, pinching the alien's throat while doing so.
"I've told you so many times not to eat random things. I haven't said anything to you about eating your eyes last time, and now you want to eat your fingers again, right?" Li Wei said calmly.
The wizard apprentice was completely dumbfounded when he saw this strange scene.
Why is this person talking to himself in front of his tentacles... Is he a lunatic?
Or, this bloody tentacle is some kind of parasite.
For a moment, he doubted his life.
He knew that he might have been attacked by some monster.
The silver-haired man in front of me is not a human!
After teaching the tentacle a lesson, Levi let it go. The tentacle hovered in front of the wizard apprentice, revealing circles of sharp teeth and drooling.
Levi continued to ask: "That is the island of the Gray Tower. Why did you, Whale Song Island, occupy this place?"
The apprentice endured the severe pain and trembled as he said, "I said... I said that Whale Song Island defected to Lord Black-Eyed Crow Morty some time ago and joined the Endless Sea Free Wizard Alliance. Lord Morty ordered us to eliminate or conquer all wizard organizations in District 9 within three years, take District 9, and support the free wizards in Districts 8 and 7. After our people arrived at the Gray Tower, they found that it had become an empty city..."
Levi quietly listened to the apprentice's confession. The so-called Free Wizard Alliance was actually the Dark Wizard Alliance.
It's just that dark wizards are the name given by the Tower of Stars. The dark wizards themselves do not consider themselves dark wizards. They consider themselves free wizards.
After getting the information he wanted from the wizard apprentice, Levi gave him a quick death. For a small man like him, many things were beyond his control because he was driven forward by the wizard organization and the times.
"Black-Eyed Crow Morty, a fourth-ring wizard from the Black Sun Tower, is extremely powerful. He is now the mastermind behind all the dark wizard forces in Districts 8 and 9. Morpheus from Whale Song Island is just a pawn under his command."
But the good news is that although the territory of the Gray Tower was invaded, Teacher Malin and the others seemed to have predicted that this would happen and evacuated the Gray Tower.
I don't know where he went and there has been no news of him since.
For a moment, Levi was a little confused.
After all, he had a home in the wizarding world.
But now, because of this sudden war, he was separated from his family.
Levi looked at the gray tower and left here temporarily.
He is alone now, and even if he can kill the wizard stationed on the island, it will be meaningless. It will only alert the enemy and make Whale Song Island and Morty vigilant.
All he can do now is to survive in this chaotic world, practice hard, and improve his strength as soon as possible.
Levi came to the Black Sail Wizard Market and found that it had also been occupied by Whale Song Island. All the shops there, including his own Warhammer Tavern, were occupied!
The independent wizards who originally gathered at the Black Sail Wizard Market either evacuated here or joined when they could not defeat them.
"Well, it's a good thing that I chose the Black Fire Island which is remote enough." Levi was somewhat glad for the choice he made.
He collected some information at the Black Sail Wizard Market and returned to Blackfire Island.
So far, nearly half of the second-ring wizard organizations in the Ninth District have been eliminated or annexed by Whale Song Island.
Although Morpheus is a three-ring wizard, it is impossible for him to have such strength to do all this in such a short time.
He must have the support of Morty. This fourth-ring black wizard, even in the Black Sun Tower full of powerful people, has a good status and strength, and has many powerful people under his command.
As for the Five Realms Expedition, there has been no new news from the expeditionary regiment heading to the five federations. They should still be marching in that endless dark land.
The entire wizarding world seemed to have faced a real disaster, with internal and external troubles attacking at the same time.
This is not limited to the Endless Sea, but includes all realms of the faithless.
Compared with this disaster, the previous tide of sea monsters was just a game.
Levi looked up at the sky, and at that moment, he deeply felt his own insignificance.
"Reinforce the defensive formation of Black Fire Island, and at the same time, hurry up to advance to the second-ring wizard!"
After Levi returned to Blackfire Island, he began to refine a new magic circle.
The magic circle he was going to refine this time was not a zero-ring magic circle. He was going to try to refine a shadowless magic circle! A true one-ring magic circle.
…
The 1039th year of the Holy Hui Calendar, the original month.
The fourth year of the Great Crusade.
The Beast Wizard went to an ancient wizard's ruins, broke one of the seals, and released a terrifying demon that was enough to make the entire Endless Sea tremble.
The upper demon lord of the 108th layer of the abyss, "Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord Tidus", is also known as "Light of Destruction" and "Many-Eyed King".
This is a demon lord whose strength is equivalent to that of a high-level Soul Wizard, that is, an eight-ring wizard.
Of course, that was its strength during its heyday. It may have declined now, but its strength is still terrifying.
Tidus was just one of the demon lords who invaded the wizarding world last time the abyss civilization invaded.
In the last invasion war, the wizard civilization paid a heavy price, repelled the army of the abyss, killed and severely damaged dozens of demon lords, and Tidus was one of them.
The one who defeated Tidus was the then master of the Tower of Stars, the Nine-Ring Wizard Mosor.
Tidus is different from ordinary demon lords. It may not be particularly strong, but it is extremely difficult to deal with.
The difficulty lies in the fact that Tidus can only seal but not kill him, because of the special ability of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord [Immortality for Hundred Generations]. Once he dies, his true spirit will return to the abyss, and then be reborn among the eye demons in the abyss plane.
Throughout history, this demon lord, who was like the son of destiny, was killed dozens of times by various powerful people, but eventually made a comeback again and again.
So Mosor chose to use the nine-ring spell, "Gargamel's Great Seal" to seal Tidus in an ancient wizard's ruins, hoping that in this way he could permanently trap him in the Endless Sea and prevent him from being reborn.
Gargamel is a famous ancient wizard who is extremely skilled in sealing spells. The five-ring wizard weapon, Gargamel's Book of Seales, that Levi saw is a replica of the nine-ring holy soul weapon "Gargamel's Fairy Tale World" that the ancient wizard had during his lifetime.
After sealing the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, the Tower of Stars has been sending people to guard this sealed place to prevent Tidus from unsealing it and bringing disaster to the Endless Sea.
However, the Tower of Stars still underestimated the strength of the Mad Wizard of Beasts. He single-handedly defeated the four high-level wizards guarding the sealed land, and even used the nine-ring spell scroll to forcibly tear open Gargamel's great seal and release the Lord of the Hundred Eyes.
And all of this was a step planned in advance by the dark wizards.
With the cunningness of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, it was impossible for him not to see that it was the Mad Beast Wizard who was using him.
But what does it matter? As long as it can bring destruction, that's enough.
The meaning of the existence of the abyss civilization is destruction and killing.
If wizards are a group of egoists who will do anything to pursue the truth.
Demons are a group of thugs who are born to destroy the world and pursue extreme violence and killing.
In the multiverse, there are more civilizations destroyed by the abyss than those colonized by wizards.
Destruction is much easier than colonization.
After the birth of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, it also meant that in the Endless Sea, a chaotic evil camp was added to the original black and white wizard camp.
Although this might backfire on the black wizard himself, in the opinion of the Mad Wizard of Beasts and others, releasing the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord would do more good than harm.
The ancient wizard ruins where the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord lived soon became a forbidden area in the Endless Sea, known as the [Hundred-Eyed Demon Realm].
Under the erosion of the Demon Lord's "demon energy" which is more terrifying than nuclear radiation and represents corruption, many low-level sea beasts or wizards were contaminated and turned into monsters. They began to radiate and spread in all directions with the ancient wizard ruins as the center.
This brings more crises to the already chaotic Endless Sea.
The Tower of Stars sent several high-level wizards to destroy the monster's lair. Unfortunately, as the lord of the 108th floor of the abyss, although Tidus is not as powerful as he was in his peak period, he is not comparable to ordinary high-level wizards.
In the end, these high-level wizards returned empty-handed and almost stayed in the monster's lair.
The situation outside is becoming more and more chaotic.
Meanwhile, District 9 isn’t much better.
Whale Song Island launched a wizard war against Sighing Sea Breeze, and Sighing Sea Breeze suffered heavy losses. Sage Mason was severely injured and fled with severe injuries. Other wizards and wizard apprentices in the Wizard Tower also died or fled.
After Sighing Sea Breeze also suffered a fatal attack, other wizard organizations belatedly formed the Ninth District Self-Defense Alliance, and gathered all the remaining forces of the Ninth District in the second-ring wizard organization [Monsoon Tower].
The Tower of Stars also took the opportunity to dispatch Riemann, the supervisory envoy of the eighth district, to the Monsoon Tower to integrate the white wizard forces of the eighth and ninth districts, and bring them together under the unified command of Riemann.
In this way, the white wizards in District 9 finally managed to hold off the first few waves of fierce attacks from the black wizards.
The situation outside is getting worse and worse, but Blackfire Island is temporarily peaceful.
On Blackfire Island.
Levi refined his first set of one-ring magic array, the Shadowless Immersive Array.
The effect of this magic circle is very powerful. After it is hidden, even the mental perception of a second-ring wizard cannot detect it.
Levi stood on a medicinal field, and one by one the formation flags fell into it in different orders and directions.
Then, as Levi chanted the spell, the medicinal field covered by the Shadowless Mirage Array completely disappeared in front of Levi.
At the same time, the Shadowless Mirage Array automatically changed into the color of the surface of Fire Dragon Peak, just like the mimicry. This made it so that when viewed from the sky, the disappeared medicinal field would be indistinguishable from the surrounding red soil, and it would not appear abrupt.
"Very good. This will cover up all traces of Blackfire Island's inhabitants, turning it into a deserted island and preventing it from being discovered by passing dark wizards."
"Moreover, when I am not practicing in the future, I can continue to refine more magic arrays. Eventually, I can combine these small shadowless magic arrays into a super large-scale shadowless magic array. Let the entire island disappear in the sea. This will become my secret base in the troubled times."
Levi already had a plan in mind.
In addition, he can also refine some other first-ring defense arrays, early warning arrays, trap arrays, etc., all of which can be deployed on the Black Fire Island.
Let Skin, the Tyrant, the extraordinary creatures, and the Zombie hide in the formation and guard the key places.
If an enemy mistakenly strays into it, he will never return and will die without knowing how he died.
He also refined several sets of shadowless mystery formations to cover up his own cave and other places.
Levi continued to practice meditation.
Although he now practices a lot of meditation methods.
But his major was the Burning Faction's Sun Meditation.
He now possesses two special effects that are affinity with the fire element: [Dance of the Fire God] and [Son of Hell Fire].
Plus the proficiency panel.
Levi's speed in practicing the Burning Faction spells has become infinitely close to that of the Son of Fire Elemental.
This means that even without the meditation-assisting potion, Levi's practice speed will not be too slow.
Of course, in order to advance to the second level as quickly as possible, potions are still necessary.
Levi has never stopped cooperating with Greenwater.
For Levi now, time is money.
The increasingly chaotic situation made him feel more and more urgent.
But now the Knight Realm has entered a bottleneck period, and the Golden Snake Breathing Method will take a long time to enter the next realm.
During this period, Levi could do one thing, on the one hand, to continuously upgrade more breathing methods to the twelfth level from the horizontal dimension, and enhance his polygonal ability. For example, Levi's blood beast breathing method now has Skeen's blood as a secret medicine, and the speed of practice is so fast that it is simply unimaginable for Levi before. I believe it will not take long to advance to the twelfth level.
On the other hand, he had to improve his wizard realm as soon as possible. Levi's mental strength was already 40 points, not far from the first-ring wizard limit of 50 points.
There is no time in practice, one year later.
The year 1040 of the Holy Hui Calendar, the month of flowers.
Levi's will-o'-the-wisp body finally reached the limit of the sixth level.
The sixth-level ghost fire body finally achieved Levi's goal of elementalization.
He can turn into a green will-o'-the-wisp after casting a spell, thus avoiding some deadly attacks.
This further improved Levi's ability to save his life.
This also means that all the spells that Levi now masters have been cultivated to the ultimate level.
In addition, in terms of Rune Words, Levi also upgraded the Strength Rune to the second level.
Levi——
Strength Rune: Level 2 (1/5000), Special Effect: Power of the Horned Ox Constellation (Level 2).
…
[Power of the Horned Ox Constellation (Level 2): The rune language communicates with the Horned Ox Constellation, and the power of the stars increases your strength. The current strength increase is 15%. ]
Inside the cave, Levi looked at the changes on the proficiency panel.
The second-level Horned Ox Constellation can increase power by 15%.
Levi thought it was time to give it a try.
He planned to try it with the swordsman's mantis first, so that he wouldn't feel bad even if it was broken.
After successfully trying it on Swordsman Mantis, Levi tried it on the Tyrant, and finally on himself.
Just do it.
Levi randomly grabbed a swordsman mantis from the medicine field and turned off its power.
Levi began to meditate on the power rune stars in his mind according to the introduction of the Star Casting Rune Book, and then began to solidify the power rune step by step...
The next day.
It took a day, and when Levi's 43 points of mental power were almost exhausted, the power rune was finally solidified on the swordsman Mantis.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the swordsman Mantis in front of him.
Now, on the back of Swordsman Mantis, there is a pattern that is exactly the same as the power rune in his mind, shining and looming.
Levi activated the Swordsman Mantis, and then took out another unsolidified Swordsman Mantis as a comparative experiment.
He gave orders, causing the two alchemical creatures to pull each other.
Accompanied by the wrestling between two swordsman mantises.
It didn't take long before the outcome was decided.
The swordsman Mantis, who had solidified the rune of strength, easily dragged over the unsolidified one.
This 15 percent increase in strength is indeed true.
This made Levi ecstatic.
Swordsman Mantis was not good at strength, so a 15% increase might not have much effect. But the strength of the Digger was originally very huge, only slightly less than his twelfth-level Red Lotus.
If this power rune is added, the power of the corpse digger will not be weaker than himself, and may even surpass himself.
The Rune of Strength is different from other solidification spells in that it is removable.
Levi drank the potion and meditated to restore his mental strength.
He chanted a spell, and the pattern of the power rune on the swordsman mantis's back slowly separated from the swordsman mantis and floated in the void, looking very dreamy.
Then, under Levi's control, the rune came to the body of the corpse digger.
After solidifying the power rune, Ace entered the body of the Gnome, and the Gnome stood up with red flames burning.
With a loud bang, it smashed directly towards Levi.
Levi laughed loudly and suddenly exerted force to collide with the corpse digger.
The two muscular monsters collided with each other, and the cave seemed to be shaking. Levi and the corpse digger each took a few steps back.
"Not bad, not bad. This 15% increase has a significant effect. I will solidify it on myself and try it out later."
Levi felt that if used well, the detachable function of Rune Words would play a huge role.
However, Levi now still doesn't dare to try to solidify the power rune on himself. After all, it is not mentioned in the book at all. It would not be worth it if he goes astray.
He planned to try again after his breathing method advanced to the thirteenth level.
During this period of time, besides practicing.
Levi was also trying to find out the whereabouts of Malin and the others, but still had no news.
Levi felt that, given Teacher Mylin's personality, she would probably leave him some message in order to prevent him from worrying when he returned to the wizarding world.
Judging from the current situation, Meilin and the others may not have escaped the crisis yet, so they don’t have time to contact me, or... they don’t want to contact me for fear of implicating me.
Levi also contacted Dinos in the Loess Continent of the Ninth District. From Dinos, Levi learned that before the Black and White Wizard War, Mu Di became a worshiper of the Golden Lion Family as Dinos' teacher, and basically stayed in the Golden Lion Family afterwards.
Therefore, Emperor Mu’s own safety is relatively safe. After all, with the strength and background of the Golden Lion Family, there is no force that can shake them in this outer ring waters for the time being.
Of course, this does not mean that the Golden Lion Family can sit back and relax. In fact, over on the Loess Continent, the Flame King Aisidi Family launched an attack almost at the same time as the Whale Song Island. They joined the black wizard camp and began to sweep across the small wizard organizations on the Loess Continent.
The Waum family, which had been relatively neutral, assessed the situation and immediately formed an alliance with the Golden Lion family, taking on the first wave of attacks from the Fire Prince Rayman Asidi.
In the letter, Levi also asked Dinos to use the power of their family to help Levi find the whereabouts of Mylin and the others.
At this time, the benefits of having a wizard family became apparent. Levi, who was alone, was not as efficient as the wizard family in doing many things.
In this tense atmosphere, another year has passed.
The sixth year of the Great Crusade.
The year 1041 of the Holy Hui Calendar, the month of vitality.
Levi has been back in the wizarding world for over two years.
Over the past two years, the entire Endless Sea has been in chaos.
More and more evil spirits appeared one after another. Under the high-pressure rule of the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council, some wizards with ulterior motives were afraid that the world would not be in chaos, and added fuel to the fire of the chaotic situation in various ways.
In the past two years, the Tower of Stars has been in a state of panic and has repeatedly requested the headquarters of the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council to send great wizards or legendary wizards to suppress the rebellion.
However, the Wizard Council was also suffering. The Great Crusade had taken away nearly half of the legendary wizards, and now they were halfway there, it was impossible to ask them to turn back.
In other plane federations, some signs of unrest have also begun to emerge, and the Wizard Council must coordinate the overall situation.
It was not until this time that they realized that after successfully conquering one plane after another in the past, everyone seemed to have become accustomed to the power of wizards and had forgotten very simple and plain truths.
It is easy to conquer a country, but difficult to keep it.
Today's wizard civilization is too big to be eliminated, like a seriously uncoordinated train, pulling one federal plane after another forward, while the inside of the carriages has already been in chaos.
At this time, the rulers of the Wizarding Council also realized that the entire wizarding civilization, from the wizarding world itself to the subordinate civilizations below.
All of them require a drastic measure and a thorough cleansing!
Of course, if the sky falls, the tall people will hold it up.
These things are not something a small person like Levi should worry about.
However, from the battle reports coming from the front lines, he realized that the next hundred years, or even a thousand years...
The Wizarding Council, which has been stable for too long, will face a huge test. The relatively stable and peaceful years of practice are gone forever.
Order began to gradually collapse, and breaking the law and committing crimes will become the norm in the future. The Wizarding Council will have even less energy to protect the safety of low-level members like Levi.
The only person Levi can rely on is himself!
Over the past year, Levi has been continuously refining more and more Shadowless Trace Arrays, trying to completely hide the entire Black Fire Island in the vast ocean and live a secluded life.
On the other hand, he did not neglect his spiritual practice. He had completely given up resting activities such as sleep, and relied on meditation and potions to keep himself running at full capacity.
After this period of hard work, Levi's solar meditation method has reached the limit of the fifth level.
This also means that Levi's current mental power has reached the limit level of a first-ring wizard, 50 points.
"Spiritual power: 50 points"
"Magic power: 820 points"
Next, in order to advance to the second ring, Levi needs to slowly increase his magic power, and then build a second-ring spell model, and prepare the breakthrough potion used to break through the second ring, the Eye Demon's Gaze.
The most difficult part here is the refining of the Eye Demon's Gaze potion, because so far, Levi has not obtained the most core ingredient, the Eye Demon's eyeball.
As for the second-ring spell model, according to Levi's personality, he will definitely use the second-ring defensive spell as his first model. However, Levi has not yet decided which second-ring defensive spell to use. But there is no doubt that this spell should be from the earth faction or the ocean faction.
After advancing to the second ring, Levi can choose a second ring defensive spell to build his own second ring defensive force field. This will be a distinctive feature of the second ring wizard that distinguishes it from the first ring wizard.
After possessing the second-ring defensive force field, coupled with Levi's own twelfth-level golden snake defense and his own strong physique, he will become a complete meat shield and blood cow. As long as he does not encounter a strong man like a three-ring wizard who is at a higher level and can crush him, Levi cannot be said to be invincible under the third ring, but he is almost there.
In addition to the wizard's practice, Levi also made progress in the new breathing methods and skills he learned when he was in the human world. The Cinder Dragon Breathing Method was getting closer and closer to the limit of the eleventh level. I believe it won't be long before it can be integrated with the Phoenix Breathing Method to mutate into a new physical breathing method.
And Maya, Musk Ox, Emerald Dragon, and Mountain Ape Breathing Techniques are also making great progress.
According to Levi's plan, he only needs to retreat for less than a year, and he should be able to master the Blood Beast Breathing Technique to the twelfth level, which will greatly enhance his strength.
Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned.
When Levi thought he could live in peace and quiet and become a second-ring wizard, news came again on his membership card.
[Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council number...9527 member Levi, according to the "Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council Military Service Plan", you are now notified to report to the Ninth District Bass Island within one month. In view of your special identity as a first-ring pharmacist, you will be sent to the rear of the Sixth War Zone Military District in the Inner Ring Sea Area to serve as a military pharmacist and refine potions needed in wartime.
This call is a mandatory call. Wizard civilization is facing a crisis that has not happened in thousands of years. We hope that every wizard will put the safety of civilization first and consciously obey the management of the Pan-dimensional Wizard Council. Violators will be included in the list of black wizards and wanted by all wizards. 】
He looked at the notice with a serious expression.
The second round of recruitment for the Endless Sea Black and White Wizard War has begun, and Levi, unfortunately, was selected.
The good news is that Levi was only selected as a logistics personnel to carry out potion refining work and does not need to go to the front line of the battle.
"Alas, it is a blessing in disguise. It is a disaster that cannot be avoided. What is supposed to come will still come." Levi sighed.
During the first Five Realms Expedition, Li Wei spent a lot of money to avoid being called up.
The second time, he happened to be in the human world and escaped.
He didn't expect that the third time would come so soon.
This is doomed to be unavoidable. As long as Levi wants to practice in the wizarding world, he will eventually have to face it all.
"The Sixth War Zone in the Inner Sea Area." Levi muttered to himself.
The Inner Ring Sixth War Zone is the inner ring sea area adjacent to the Outer Ring Seventh Zone, but its area is many times that of the Outer Ring.
The announcement required Levi to go to Bass Island within a month, where a witchcraft airship from the Star Tower military would take all the recruited wizards from the Ninth District to the military camp of the Inner Ring Sixth War Zone.
The enemies that Levi and his men are about to face are not ordinary black wizards, but monsters spreading from the [Hundred Eyes Demon Realm].
Levi looked at the information this time, and when he got to the end, he suddenly realized that he could actually go to the Sixth War Zone.
Because, in this place.
It seems that I can find the Eye Demon I need.
"The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord is the demon lord of the 108th layer of the Abyss. This demon lord evolved from the lowest level eye demon and eventually became the leader of all the eye demons in the Abyss."
Of course, with Levi's strength, he naturally didn't dare to think about attacking the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, who could kill Levi with just one breath. However, under the command of this Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, there should be ordinary eye demon soldiers.
If I could hunt one, the last main ingredient for my advancement to the second level would be needed.
Considering that I am only in the logistics department, it should be relatively safe.
After being recruited, Levi's wartime merit system will also be opened. If he successfully refines and hands in the potion, he can get points as a reward from the military. At that time, he can buy his favorite spell books and other knowledge inheritance, or some rare materials in the military's exchange store.
Moreover, the materials and formulas for refining potions are provided by the military, which means that Levi can use the military's resources for free to improve his pharmaceutical skills.
Thinking about it this way, Levi suddenly felt that this call-up was also an opportunity for him to become stronger.
With this in mind, Levi began intensive preparations.
And a month later, they arrived at Bass Island.
