The year 1105 of the Holy Era, the month of winter.
As the new year is coming to an end.
The world has also become more turbulent and uneasy.
In the Gaia Kingdom, adjacent to the Maurya Kingdom, there is a city abandoned due to plague and war.
A mysterious person who calls herself "Ghost Lady" established a kingdom of evil spirits entrenched in the human world [Kingdom of Ghosts] here. A thousand miles in radius has been turned into a restricted area, where ghosts and evil spirits breed. Even if a great knight enters, he will die.
After the Church of the Earth sent saints to attack without success, it is said that Saint Theresa went there in person. The final result is unknown, but in any case, the [Ghost Kingdom] still exists.
Rumor has it that the Ghost Lady used countless ghosts and evil spirits to refine a terrifying evil spirit. Even the saints cannot defeat it and can only acquiesce to the existence of the Ghost Lady.
This rumor was flatly denied by the Church of the Earth. They said there was no enemy that the saints could not defeat. But how could they explain the kingdom of ghosts that existed nakedly in the human world?
Of course, for ordinary people, if the church says no, it means no, and if it says yes, it also means no…
Other countries are not much better than the Gaia Kingdom.
For example, in the Skyfire City of the Molten Fire Kingdom, someone saw in the night sky a majestic red-flaming firebird with wings covering the sky and an old man who seemed to be made of eternal flames fighting on the top of the clouds. Under the light of the fire, the night was as bright as day, and the entire Skyfire City was shrouded in a white light shield.
Later, an insider revealed that the firebird was the culprit that caused the fire and drought that the Tuva Empire experienced some time ago.
After being defeated by Storm Saint Gurado, he fled without a trace, and then reappeared in the Molten Kingdom, trying to steal a sealed holy relic of the Eternal Church in Skyfire City.
Rumor has it that within that sealed relic there is a wisp of [divine fire] that never goes out. This is the most important relic of the Eternal Church, bar none.
After that battle, the Eternal Church entered a state of martial law and searched the world for the Scarlet Firebird.
It's a pity that the red-flame firebird disappeared without a trace and evaporated from the earth.
There are countless and complicated things happening in the world.
New changes are happening every day.
Star Empire.
The [Falling Star Mountain] where the Church of Stars is located.
The nights here are dotted with stars, fireflies dotted the wilderness, and the chirping of insects makes the place even more peaceful.
The starry church is as colorful as the starry sky.
On the dome of the Gothic building at the highest point and in the center of the church.
A young girl wearing a star-patterned gauze skirt, with delicate features and looking very comfortable, is sitting here lazily, hugging her knees and looking up at the starry sky.
"Practicing cultivation is such a boring thing. The human world is becoming more and more exciting and lively."
Estella absorbs the power of the stars.
"I don't know what the old man Gulado's strength is now. Could he have made another breakthrough? I can't be left too far behind by others...
And I don't know where that weird guy has gone. Is he hiding in the wizarding world and doesn't dare to come back... What about the cooperation we agreed to have together?"
Before, Estella also went to the island where she saw the monster, but except for some knights, she didn't see any monster, so she left.
Judging from the knight organization established by that weirdo, he is ambitious and has the ability to do so.
This made Estella look forward to working with him even more.
After all, it is better to cooperate with a secret organization founded by a mortal than to cooperate with competitors who have their own ulterior motives.
[Lord of the Stars] is the most independent among the Seven Gods. He has no camp, no allies, and is mysterious and unpredictable.
Unlike [Heavenly Father] and [Earth's Mother], who are always on a united front, they can be called the adults in the star realm.
"I don't know how long [Worldly Barrier] can last... Sigh, why are there so many troubles in this world?"
Estella murmured, and before she knew it, she lay on her side on the dome, and fell asleep under the stars...
And on Dusk Island.
Inside the Jidao Palace.
Inside Levi's body, the [Sky Nightmare] that looked like black mist was mutating and merging with a colorful mist-like dragon.
This misty dragon is Levi's [Dream Dragon Seed].
Time passes by every second.
When the final fusion was completed, the original [Sky Nightmare] and [Dream Dragon] had disappeared, and in their place was a giant black dragon that was as black as ink, with broken wings and emitting a terrifying aura.
The dragon's eyes were indifferent, and seemed to contain a strange world of red and black.
Open the Proficiency panel.
Levi——
Nightmare Dragon Breathing Method: Level 12 (1/400000), Special Effects: Nightmare Perception (Level 4), Danger Perception, Nightmare Traveler, Heart of Skywind.
…
Except for [Danger Sense] and [Heart of Skywind] which have not changed.
The original [Level 3 Synesthesia] is upgraded to [Level 4 Nightmare Perception], and [Nightmare Walker] is upgraded to [Nightmare Traveler].
Compared to synesthesia, nightmare perception adds a sixth sense - heart sense in addition to the original five senses of vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.
[Telepathy] can see through illusions and nightmares. Unless one's realm is much higher than Levi's, ordinary illusions will not be able to confuse him.
"If I have such special effects when I enter the secret realm of the Dream Tower, then even if the human-faced spider is very strong, her illusion ability should not be able to affect me between the two worlds."
Levi remembered the last time he went to the secret realm, he was fooled by that damn human-faced spider.
As for the second [Nightmare Traveler], it adds another function based on the original [Nightmare Walker].
[Nightmare Traveler: The Nightmare Dragon blood in your body gives you the ability to enter the nightmare world. You can consume the power of the Nightmare Dragon in any main material plane to enter it directly, or you can enter it through the "nightmare" of others and rely on the power of the Nightmare Dragon to condense a "nightmare incarnation".
Consume the power of the Nightmare Dragon to enter, and you will be randomly sent to a place in the Nightmare World. Enter through someone else's nightmare, and you will appear in a nightmare place related to their "nightmare".
The items you get in the nightmare world can be taken out by consuming the power of the nightmare dragon, or you can find the node between the nightmare world and the main material plane and take them out.
As a "Nightmare Traveler", your death in the Nightmare World will not lead to your death in the real world. After the power of the Nightmare Dragon is exhausted, your consciousness will leave the Nightmare World and return to the main material plane. 】
Looking at the special effects introduction, Levi's face was solemn.
"Nightmare world?"
This world is the most dangerous and terrifying world Levi has ever encountered.
Even if the proficiency panel confirmed that there was no danger, Levi didn't want to try it easily.
As a lesson from the past, the Dream Tower entered through the [Dream Potion] they developed, and then all of them disappeared from the face of the earth.
Maybe it's okay once or twice, but if you walk on the edge of the nightmare world and the real world for a long time, sooner or later, you will be dragged into the nightmare forever.
"The human-faced spider is in the nightmare world. It should be the overlord of that world. However, considering the level of the human-faced spider, it is definitely not the real top of the nightmare world. There are more terrifying beings than the human-faced spider, such as the Sky Nightmare and the Dream Dragon..."
According to the research of the Dream Tower, the nightmare world is a major spiritual plane comparable to the astral world and the underworld.
If the astral world is a world formed by the projection of the [faith and spirit] of all living beings.
That nightmare world is most likely a distorted world that reflects the [nightmares and fears] hidden deep in the hearts of all living beings.
There, everything is chaotic and makes no sense.
Many rules of the main material plane may not be applicable, and even spells may not be able to be used. Monsters hidden deep in the nightmares of living beings also haunt the nightmare world, absorbing the power of fear to strengthen themselves.
After experiencing the last secret realm, Levi was basically certain that the Ashes World should be a world eroded by the Nightmare World.
This world has some things in common with the nightmare world, [rampant death], and [distorted reflection of the real world], it's as if this world is being assimilated by the nightmare world...
Levi sighed. Although there might be some opportunities, resources, treasures, etc. in the nightmare world... he was not ready to enter it yet.
"Anyway, ordinary illusions will be useless to me from now on, which is a good thing... But it seems that other than the Dream School, other schools rarely use illusion attacks."
Don't think about nightmares.
Levi walked out of the Jidao Hall.
Today is the pledge meeting.
When the deputy leader Blood Knight saw Levi coming out of seclusion, he said solemnly, "Leader, now all the official members of the Dusk Knights and the trainee members of the Dusk Temple, a total of 240, are here!"
In front of Levi, on the square of the Temple of Dusk, there were figures that were either curious or expectant.
At this moment, they were all looking at the tall and strong middle-aged knight in front of them, wearing golden armor.
He had a resolute face, an extraordinary bearing, and his powerful muscles were like the body of a god in a sculpture.
"This is... the Extreme Knight?"
"Yes, this is the master of the Twilight Temple and the leader of the Twilight Knights... He is said to be over a hundred years old..."
"Such a powerful aura. In front of him, I feel that my great knight cultivation is just like an ant."
Levi looked at these young faces and remembered that he was once one of them.
Without saying anything else, he took out the Sword of Oath and thrust it into the floor in front of him.
At this moment, the entire island seemed to tremble, and many trainee members exclaimed in surprise.
Then, Levi's powerful aura swept across Dusk Island, his eyes were like torches and his voice was deafening.
“Everyone, a storm is about to come on earth, and we at the Dusk Temple cannot just sit there and wait for death.
In order to strengthen our cohesion, today, I hope everyone will swear an oath with me in front of this sword!
This oath concerns your future. From now on, your fate will be firmly tied to our Temple of Dusk. We will prosper together and suffer together!
The road ahead will be extremely difficult and tortuous. If you want to give up, you can quit now. We will erase all your memories of your life and training in the Twilight Temple. You will be sent back to the human world, back to your day-to-day mortal life, and continue to be that ignorant little noble."
After Levi finished speaking, he looked at the trainee members.
Some people seemed to sense that this oath would be extraordinary, and their hearts were moved.
"Captain...I want to quit."
"Me too……"
Gradually, some people began to raise their hands and withdraw.
The Blood Knight screened out these people and looked disappointed.
Levi was calm and composed. He expected that when there were more people, there would be good and bad people.
Therefore, the core of his future will always be the [Eighteen Riders of Twilight] centered around the [Twilight Round Table].
These trainee members were mainly prepared to train the Eighteen Riders of Dusk.
Their determination, loyalty, perseverance and goals vary, so it is normal for some people to quit.
In the end, only 200 of the 240 members were left.
Levi asked the Blood Knight to take the forty people away. Afterwards, he would use the forgetfulness technique to erase all of their memories about the Knights of Dusk.
"Very good. Those who stand here now will become fellow travelers of the Knights. Are you ready?" Levi asked loudly.
"I'm ready!" In the crowd, Kelvin Yinshan, who was already at the peak of the great knight and only one step away from becoming a legendary knight, shouted excitedly.
After that, more and more knights made a deafening sound.
“We are ready!”
Afterwards, these knights also thrust their swords into the ground in unison.
Levi nodded, his face firm, he placed his hand on the sword in front of him, and then swore: "The long night is coming..."
The Knight's Oath includes many loyalty obligations that members of the Knights Templar need to fulfill to the organization, which were adapted by Levi into a passionate "Night Watch Oath" from a fantasy film or TV series in his previous life.
With such an oath as a constraint, there will basically be no traitors among the members who stay in the Temple of Dusk... unless one of them has a higher level of cultivation than Levi, but that is impossible.
Even Levi himself swore an oath, but this organization belonged to him, so it was naturally not difficult for him to keep the oath.
After the oath was completed, phantoms of the Swords of Oath appeared in the sky above the Dusk Temple.
Then it sank into the bodies of all the members.
At this moment, the close connection between them and the organization of the Temple of Dusk was truly established.
Levi doesn't need these people to worship him so much. He just needs them to be absolutely loyal to the Temple of Dusk and never betray him.
In this regard, humans are not as easy to fool as the crawlers of the Ancient Dragon Empire.
After all, these knights had different cultures and beliefs, and there were huge differences between them.
The crawlers basically all believe in the original ancient saints and the holy snakes. With this natural belief, it is very easy for Levi to control them.
In the following time, Levi personally taught some trainee knights how to practice in the Temple of Dusk. He came from among the members and went deep into the members. While maintaining his supreme majesty, he also left a good and people-friendly image.
Through the combination of kindness and force, the operation of the Dusk Knights gradually embarked on the path of standardization, regularization and integration.
After that, the [Temple of Knowledge] with the Magic Mirror of True Knowledge as its core was established, and the knowledge management system was gradually improved.
[Temples of Dawn] where tasks can be issued and resources can be exchanged have also been established one after another. Members of [Temples of Dawn] can trade the training resources and secret medicine materials they need with each other. They can also pay a corresponding price to exchange them directly at the [Temple of Dawn], or accept the task bounty of the temple in exchange for labor.
After doing all this, Levi handed over the entrance to the ancient saint plane and the method of entering the magic circle to the official members of the Knights Templar.
Next, these official members will lead the trainee members into the ancient saint plane in batches to gain experience and search for resources.
Of course, Levi also greeted the Elders Council of the Ancient Dragon Empire in advance.
It is said that in the future a group of "believers" of the "original ancient saints" will come to the Ancient Dragon Empire for training. The two sides have a brotherly relationship, and if they meet, no friction should occur.
As for the ferocious beast, Levi was powerless to do anything.
This is also the reason why he didn't dare to throw all the team members into the ancient saint plane at once.
Apart from the official members, most of the ordinary members were just ordinary knights. Even with the cultivation of great knights, they had no power to fight back in front of those powerful beasts in the ancient saint plane. If they were all thrown into the beast without any adaptation process, it would be good if only one tenth of them could survive...
He is training the members of the organization, not letting them play PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.
…
The 1106th year of the Holy Hui Calendar, the original month.
Storm City.
Shining Tavern.
Levi was alone, sipping Snow Beer.
Listen to the bard on the stage telling the legendary story about the "Snowflake Knight".
When the story was finished, Levi the drummer cheered.
"May you all have the same courage as the Snowflake Knight!" said the bard happily.
After reminiscing at the Shining Tavern and asking for some information, Levi was about to leave when suddenly a fat noble in gorgeous clothes came to Levi.
"What's the matter?"
Levi didn't know this fat man, he must be the owner of the Shining Tavern.
"Sir, our boss wants to see you... Not me, I mean, the big bosses of all the Shining Taverns..." the fat man said softly.
Originally he thought that Levi was just an ordinary person, but who would have thought that the big boss behind the scenes who happened to be working here could tell at a glance that Levi was not an ordinary person.
The big boss wanted to see it for himself, so he asked the fat nobleman to invite Levi.
Upon hearing this, Levi smiled and said, "Okay, lead the way."
He also wanted to know who the leader behind this Shining Tavern was, which had such deep roots in the mortal world and was comparable to the church.
Led by the fat nobleman, Levi came all the way to the backstage of the tavern.
In a seemingly ordinary dressing room, a beautiful noblewoman was combing her hair in front of a mirror.
She was wearing a fiery aristocratic dress, all embroidered with hand-embroidered roses, which made her look charming and beautiful.
Levi sensed the other person a little and found that he should be an ordinary person, nothing special.
"Please wait a moment, sir." The female nobleman adjusted her bra in front of the mirror, propping up her breasts and revealing her beautiful scenery.
Levi was thinking about something, so he stood here and waited quietly.
"You are a wizard, right..." the female noble said with a smile as beautiful as a flower, looking straight at Levi.
"Interesting, how did you know that? You are just an ordinary person." Levi said.
Upon hearing this, the noblewoman burst out laughing: "Do you really think that an ordinary person can become the owner of so many shining taverns?"
The noblewoman smiled softly. "When I first took charge of this tavern, even Baihua wasn't even born yet..."
Hearing this, Levi's heart changed slightly: "Are you a wizard?"
The female noble released a slight fluctuation of mental power. After feeling this vast mental power, Levi was shocked.
The one in front of me should be at least a five-ring wizard...
Levi had also come into contact with a four-ring wizard, but the feeling he gave Levi was far inferior to that of this one.
The boss of the Shining Tavern is actually a five-ring wizard...
No wonder it can survive in the world for so long.
"Please forgive me, senior. I am weak and I didn't realize that you are a wizard." Levi said.
In front of a five-ring wizard, you should show a little respect.
Although judging from the danger perception, this person has no ill will towards him.
"It's not your fault. The elemental power in the human world is weak. Most of the time, I use secret methods to seal the wizard's cultivation to prevent it from declining. After a long time, I feel like I'm just an ordinary person." She said.
Levi thought to himself that he really didn't have enough experience. There was actually such a secret method in the wizarding world.
Judging from this, there are probably many wizards hiding in the world.
These old guys live in seclusion in the city, watching the changing world and the passage of time from an outsider's perspective.
He remembered that the "ghost lady" who appeared in the Gaia Kingdom some time ago should also be a powerful wizard.
With the wizards' keenness, they must have sensed long ago that the celestial spheres were about to merge and the demonic tide was revived. Maybe some wizard organizations had already begun secretly planning and making plans in the human world.
It’s just that my strength was low before, and I couldn’t get in touch with the world of these big figures at all.
"Don't worry, I have no ill intentions. I just passed by this Shining Tavern today and found that you are a little special, so I called you here to have a chat." The noblewoman said with a smile.
"I'm just a wild wizard who was forced to stay in the human world because of the war...what's so special about me?" Levi smiled bitterly.
"Because you are not only a wizard, but also a legendary knight... I have been running the Shining Tavern for five hundred years. In addition to the Lionheart Knight who has been around for a long time, I have met the Golden Knight among the [Shining Seven Knights] and discussed the secret of his bloodline with him. I have also had contact with the Thousand Faces Knight, but he is quite scheming and I don't like him very much. I also personally sent the Hundred Flowers Knight into the wizard world and witnessed with my own eyes the rise of this little girl like a comet and her becoming a Soul Wizard..."
The female noble drank wine and told stories in a light-hearted manner, which, to outsiders, would sound like good stories.
Levi could understand her state of mind. He was only over a hundred years old, but he had witnessed so many changes in the world with his own eyes, let alone this five-hundred-year-old monster.
"After saying so much, I still don't know your name..." Levi asked.
"Me? In the human world, my employees like to call me Ms. Rose, and in the wizarding world, I am the Rose Witch..."
"Rose Witch... If I remember correctly, this is one of the twenty-four flowers under the Flower Witch, right?"
"Yes, I am the leader of the Knights of Flowers. After her Yuanhun, I took the initiative to join the Twenty-Four Flowers. I have been running this Shining Tavern. It is an interesting thing to witness the rise and fall of families and the collapse of dynasties in the world when I have nothing to do." said the Rose Witch.
"Come to think of it, I have met the White Narcissus Witch, the Violet Witch, and the Rose Witch once, and we had a pretty good relationship. Now I meet my senior again, which is really wonderful." Levi said with a smile.
"Bai Shui died some time ago. I have her soul tablet here, but it has been broken into pieces..." The Rose Witch took out a tablet engraved with a white narcissus pattern and said with a gloomy face.
Li Wei's face changed and he asked, "Senior, do you know the reason?"
He actually already had the answer in his mind, and it was most likely related to the nightmare world.
"I don't know either. I have been in the human world for a long time. In addition, due to the impact of the war, the passage was closed and my connection with other witches was cut off." said the Rose Witch.
"Senior, you are looking for me not just to chat, right?" Levi asked.
"I want to ask about your legendary name. I have heard of all the new legends that have been born in the world in recent years, but I know nothing about you. That's why I'm curious." said the Rose Witch.
"I don't have a legendary title...I prefer to live a quiet life rather than being praised by others."
"You have quite a personality... I thought knights were a group of people who liked to show off, to achieve great things, and to become famous...
But then, a turbulent era is about to come, and everyone will be forced to make changes.
I came to you today to find some allies. I see that you are not very old, but you are already a third-ring cultivator and a legendary knight. Your future achievements may not be less than Baihua's. It would be good to get to know you in advance."
"Hahaha...Senior is quite direct." Levi said with a smile.
"Also, I want to talk to you about something else."
"Please speak, senior."
"I wonder if you've heard about the Flame Bird attacking the Eternal Church?"
"I've heard something about it." Levi's heart was slightly moved. The Flame Bird was obviously the Fire Elemental Spirit. Levi had brought it here accidentally...
"The Eternal Church is now searching for the trace of the Flame Bird. With the information from the Shining Tavern, I have roughly known where it went, but we are currently short of manpower. It is too difficult to find wild wizards with good cultivation in the world. Three-ring wizards like you are rare, so I invited a few wizards to go and meet the Flame Bird together."
“Senior, I am only a three-ring wizard with low strength. That Flame Bird can defeat a saint. Its strength is probably far beyond ours…”
“Don’t worry, according to my estimation, the Flame Bird is only at the fifth ring level, about the same as me. The elemental power of the human world is weak, so neither it nor I can exert our full strength.
So this time I found a fourth-ring body-refining wizard who was less affected by the power of elements and practiced in seclusion in the human world, and a magic array wizard. The three of us can just trap him for a while...
As for you, your cultivation... is relatively low, and it is difficult for you to confront the Flame Bird head-on, so your task is to lead it into the magic circle we have set up. I will give you a one-time spell scroll to prevent you from being caught up by the Flame Bird and to keep you safe.
Besides, my goal is not the Flame Bird, but the sealed holy object it stole. After the task is accomplished, I can give you corresponding rewards based on your contribution. I have been struggling in the wizarding world and the human world for hundreds of years, and I have accumulated some good things. As a third-ring wizard, you should not be ready for the breakthrough potion to advance to the fourth ring, right?
I have a potion formula here. If you can lend me a helping hand, I don't mind giving you the formula. You can use it to sell for money or find someone to make it for you.
If you don't need the recipe, I have some unused three-ring magic tools here, which should be rare treasures for wild wizards practicing in the human world."
After the Rose Witch finished speaking, she waved her hand and streams of light appeared in front of Levi. They were five magical weapons of different shapes and extraordinary at first glance. There seemed to be a full range of types, some for defense and some for attack.
Levi glanced at these magical weapons and felt that they were all average, not as good as the Mahakala Curtain.
He thought for a moment and asked, "May I ask, what is the name of the formula?"
His mental power is now 160 points, only 40 points away from reaching the upper limit of a three-ring wizard. He really needs to prepare a breakthrough potion.
"[Succubus's Crimson Whisper]."
The Rose Witch said.
Levi nodded. He had indeed heard of this kind of potion in a book on pharmacy, but unfortunately the recipe and refining method were not recorded there.
Judging from the name, it is very likely that the main ingredient contains the ingredients of succubus, but nothing else is known.
Apparently, the Rose Witch did not lie to him.
In fact, the [Magic Mirror of True Knowledge] also has some breakthrough potion formulas, but unfortunately, they are all outdated knowledge. Many of the ancient herbs recorded on it have long been extinct after being consumed by hundreds of thousands of people, so they are quite useless.
If you want to find corresponding substitutes through experiments and research yourself, the difficulty can be compared with purification potions.
Therefore, modern potions such as the Succubus potion are what Levi needs.
"Senior, let me think about it." Levi said.
"Well, you'd better give me an answer within seven days. If you delay, something might happen. If the Flame Bird is found by the Saint of the Eternal Church, our plan will be ruined." said the Rose Witch.
Before leaving, the Rose Witch gave Levi a token made of rose petals.
Levi can use this to communicate with the Rose Witch.
"As expected of a five-ring wizard, his methods are indeed different. Most low-level wizards still have to rely on traditional messengers to communicate." Levi sighed.
"That succubus potion formula is exactly what I need. This Rose Witch has already got me. No one can refuse such a trick."
…
Seven days later.
The Shining Tavern in Storm City.
The Rose Witch looked at Levi's approaching figure and a smile appeared on her face.
"You're here after all," she said.
Levi nodded, and he noticed that there were two other wizards beside the Rose Witch.
One of them looked very old, with white hair, just like an ordinary old man with a kind face.
The other one stood straight, wearing knight armor. He must be the four-ring body-refining wizard. He looked at Levi with a cold expression.
These are all old things hidden in the world.
"This is Wizard Levi, a wild wizard in the human world, with a third-ring cultivation level, responsible for completing the task of luring the Flame Bird." Rose Witch said. "Levi, the one wearing armor is Wizard Balzan, a fourth-ring body-refining wizard who is quite rare even in the wizard world... The other one is Master Orlov, a magic circle wizard whom I admire, who is knowledgeable and talented."
"Senior Rose, you are too kind. I only have a basic understanding of the knowledge of magic arrays." Master Orlov explained with a wry smile.
Although the Rose Witch is a five-ring wizard, she has lived in the human world for a long time and deals with mortals all day long, so she doesn't put on airs.
"Hello, seniors."
Since his realm is not as good as others, Levi is naturally polite.
"Senior Rose, the cultivation level of three rings... is a bit low." Wizard Balzan said in a low voice.
"There's nothing we can do. Time is limited. This is the human world, not the wizarding world. The third-ring cultivation level is already extremely rare." said the Rose Witch.
"I don't think it's a big deal. Anyway, this little guy just needs to lure the fire bird." said Wizard Orlov.
"Okay, I mean well. After all, we have to face the existence of the Five Rings... I personally feel that Lady Ghost is more suitable," said Balzan.
"Madam Ghost... She has a weird personality and I don't like dealing with her. It is said that the power behind her is a high-level wizard organization in the [Realm of Hell]... She must be well prepared when she comes to the human world this time." said the Rose Witch.
Levi listened to the conversation between these old guys. It seemed that they had known each other for a long time. He couldn't help but become more alert and kept an eye on the changes in his sense of danger.
"After completing the luring mission, there will be nothing for me to do..." Levi asked.
"Well, when the time comes, you just need to find a safe place. The three of us will preside over a four-ring magic circle." Wizard Orlov said.
After talking about some precautions, the four of them left the tavern, found a deserted place, and everyone used their flying skills to head towards their destination.
"The Flame Bird is overseas. I found it in an underwater crater." said the Rose Witch.
Levi wondered, could it be that the space passage leading to the wizarding world has been discovered?
After all, besides him, the fire elemental spirit also knew this entrance.
However, after the fire element left last time, Levi used a magic circle to hide the island. If it weren't for the wizard, Levi felt that it might not be able to find the entrance.
Five days later.
Levi and his companions came to an open sea area extremely far away from the Seven Kingdoms continent. This was not the location of the subspace node, which made him feel relieved. It seemed that the magic circle still worked.
Levi could feel that the elemental power here seemed to be much stronger than that on the mainland, almost half of that in the outer sea of the wizarding world.
This shows that the revival of the demonic tide has further deepened.
Then, they landed on a small island. On the island, there was a natural cave and a complex hidden magic circle outside.
"This is also an overseas base of the Shining Tavern, but the people stationed here are some apprentices I recruited in the human world. A month ago, they saw a flaming bird falling from the sky and landing in the sea ahead, never to come out again." said the Rose Witch.
Not long after, several wizards who were only at the apprentice level came out.
"Is the Flame Bird still there?"
"Yes, two days ago I saw a column of white smoke rising from the sea in the distance, and the wailing sound of the divine bird..."
The Rose Witch nodded.
"You should evacuate this island first. We need to set up a magic circle here to trap the Fire Bird." said the Rose Witch.
"OK."
After these people evacuated.
Orlov flew into the sky and observed the island's terrain, magnetic field, elemental power, etc.
It was also the first time for Levi to see a four-ring magician cast a spell, so he watched attentively from the side.
"I will need three days to set up the formation. I would like to trouble Senior Rose and Lord Balzan to help me." Orlov said.
"All is up to the master." The Rose Witch said with a smile.
A five-ring wizard and two four-ring wizards began to get busy here. Levi saw a series of magic array objects like long swords flying out in front of Orlov. He muttered something, and these long swords shone with white light and sank into the island.
Two days later, Orlov looked a little pale, and he quickly took a potion to restore his mental and magical powers.
"Damn, just a little bit more." Orlov couldn't help but say as he looked at the Rose Witch and Balzan who had already set up their formations in their respective positions.
"Olov? What's wrong?" the Rose Witch asked anxiously.
"The magnetic field here is a little difficult to control. It's different from the place where we practiced before. Now I need a wizard to help me complete the magic circle..."
"Olov, why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier!" Balzan's face turned cold, wondering why this old guy let him down at the critical moment.
Besides the three of them, there was only Levi present...
So they all turned their eyes to Levi.
"Dear seniors, my strength is low. If something goes wrong because of me, please don't blame me." Levi's face changed and he said quickly.
"Stop talking so much and come on!" Balzun urged.
"Levi, give it a try. If it doesn't work... we'll try again another day." The Rose Witch was worried, obviously afraid that the Flame Bird would fly away.
Levi seemed to be going on stage reluctantly, and Orlov explained to him the key points and precautions.
"Do you understand?" he asked.
"I understand...right?" Levi said unconfidently.
"Well, go ahead and do your best." Orlov said helplessly, obviously not expecting much from Levi.
"Thank you, senior. I will do my best."
Levi joined in. In fact, although his cultivation was low, he was still a second-ring magic array wizard. So during these days of observation, he had discovered some problems, but he didn't want to be too high-profile, so he didn't take the initiative to mention them.
He was seen with a frown on his face, sweat oozing out of his eyes, and a nervous look on his face, carefully setting up his magic array module.
Orlov, the Rose Witch's heart was in her throat.
Three days later.
When all the array elements and rituals of the magic circle were set up, Orlov wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, then looked at Levi with an approving smile.
"It seems like the little guy also knows some knowledge about magic arrays, right?"
"I just have a rough understanding of it. I can't say I understand it in front of my seniors." Levi drank some potion and said with a smile.
"You really impressed me..." The Rose Witch was also sweating profusely. She looked at Levi, this little guy who gave her so many unexpected surprises.
"Let's take a break and start as soon as possible, otherwise something might go wrong," said Balzan.
Half a day later, everyone's condition reached its peak.
The Rose Witch handed Levi a disposable spell scroll engraved with flowers.
"This is the scroll of [Withering Flowers], which contains a five-ring spell. After you tear it open, you will temporarily gain the escape speed of a five-ring wizard. Then you can just fly over here. With your alertness, you will be fine." said the Rose Witch.
"OK."
Levi got the scroll and without further ado, he flew towards the distant sea.
Even without this scroll, he could rely on Scarlet Escape to save his life, but there was no need to expose his trump card.
After a while, Levi came to a sea that was rolling and boiling, and white mist formed thick clouds in the sky.
He noticed that there was a huge flaming bird under the sea. At this moment, it was crawling in the volcanic community below, and seemed to be in pain. Inside its translucent body, there was an ancient oil lamp. At the wick position, there was a wisp of golden flame burning.
"It is trying to refine the flame inside the sealed holy object, and it seems to have reached a critical moment...so much so that when I approached it, it ignored me." Levi was shocked.
"Finally I can take revenge. You've caused me so much trouble!"
He quickly cast a spell to attack the giant flaming bird. The bird, which usually chased him when it saw him, actually ignored him.
"Hmm? It seems that the blow is not painful enough. My third-level spell is just tickling it..."
Levi's most powerful spell is the Fire Dragon, but unfortunately the big bird's resistance to fire is only stronger than Levi's.
Levi directly took out the Red Dragon Cutting Sword and slashed it with one sword.
Wrapped in flames, the gray-white sword energy swept across, annihilating everything.
A mournful cry came from the giant flaming bird.
This sword finally made the giant fire bird move.
It was at the critical moment of refining, and originally did not want to pay attention to the ant in front of it, but this guy was not willing to give in, so it got angry...
The next moment, the sea water exploded, and terrifying flames rushed up to the sky. The fire element glared at Levi and made a clear cry like a young phoenix.
"Good boy, let's go!"
Levi felt the terrifying aura and immediately tore open the scroll. Countless petals emerged around his body, colorful and glamorous, and the fragrance was fragrant.
The next moment, he was carried by the petals and flew towards the island ahead.
Not long after, at the speed of the fifth ring level, he arrived on the island, and the giant flaming bird behind him followed.
After the big bird entered the sky above the magic circle, endless long swords were seen around the island, connecting the sky and the earth, forming a prison emitting a fierce sword energy!
Four-ring magic circle, sword prison!
"Here's your formula. You won't have anything to do from now on. I have to focus on dealing with the Flame Bird and won't have time to take care of you."
The Rose Witch came, and a slate fell into Levi's hands.
"Thank you, senior." Levi took a look and found that it was indeed the recipe for the succubus potion.
His face lit up with joy, and he quickly left, found a place to hide, and watched the battle from a distance.
Once he gets the formula, he makes money, and what happens after that has nothing to do with him.
However, he still wanted to take this opportunity to witness the fight between the five rings and see the fate of the Flame Bird. In case the opponent was seriously injured and escaped, he could still take advantage of the opportunity and subdue it with the Scarlet Contract. Wouldn't it be wonderful to own a level five fire elemental spirit?
The position of the contract previously used on King Golden Feather has been removed by Levi and replaced by the Sword of Oath.
The horrific battle and the power of the four-ring magic circle were displayed without reservation.
Needless to say, the Rose Witch cast powerful ocean spells with every move she made, which were just enough to restrain the fire element and were very powerful.
"This is because the elemental power is too weak to fully exert its power... The Thunder Dragon Family's [Thunder Spear] is only stronger than the Rose Witch."
As for Balzan, his whole body was sparkling with golden runes, and he looked like a body made of gold and iron. He was immune to water and fire, and invulnerable to swords and guns. He was equally extraordinary.
"He seems to be a rare bronze-class body-refining wizard, emitting a strong metallic elemental power... This Balzan is not simple either."
As for the wizard Orlov, he was concentrating on maintaining the magic circle. His sharp sword kept piercing through the body of the fire element, causing it to wail.
"Everyone has tried their best, but this guy is almost dying." said the Rose Witch.
However, the next moment, her expression changed drastically.
Under various attacks, the fire element spirit turned into an egg-shaped sphere. The surface of the sphere was full of cracks and terrifying flames were coming out.
Bang.
The sphere exploded.
The shock wave swept across.
The four-ring magic circle was destroyed on the spot.
Orlov spat out a mouthful of blood and became dispirited.
"Self-destruction?"
Balzan's golden body was also broken into pieces, bleeding, and his spells were dim.
Only the Rose Witch was better, but she looked ugly.
At the moment the magic circle shattered, a smaller fire bird turned into a swift beam of light and escaped with the sealed holy object!
"What's going on? Three against one can't win... Is this fire element so strong?" Levi muttered, ready to evacuate at any time.
He saw the Rose Witch and the others quickly chasing in the direction of the Fire Element, obviously not wanting to give up easily.
"Forget it, let's not watch the show. Just get the recipe. Don't be too greedy." Levi chose to leave immediately.
At the same time, on the distant sea level, a pillar of fire suddenly rose up, reaching the sky and the earth, and the golden flames seemed to set the sky on fire.
Turning around, Levi saw a horrifying scene:
The golden flame seemed to be on an invisible curtain, burning continuously and growing bigger and bigger, and a huge gap began to appear in the curtain.
Through this pitch-black gap, Levi saw a deep, dark world where the sky was shattered and the earth was devastated, like a scorched earth.
Levi quickly turned around and flew towards the mainland. Although he didn't know what was going on, his sense of danger told him that it might be dangerous if he continued to stay here.
And in the distant seven continents.
Tuva Empire,
The top of a sacred mountain standing in the sea, surrounded by lightning and hurricanes.
This is the holy place of the Storm Church, [Storm Mountain].
A middle-aged man wearing a purple royal robe and a storm crown on his head stood on the top of the Storm Church, looking into the depths of the outer sea.
"The earthly barrier... has been broken, much faster than I expected."
