Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 443 The Dragon King Emerges! (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

Triss noticed that Levi's expression wasn't good and said:

"It's alright, it's just an eighth-level rare treasure, it won't affect me much."

Hundred Flowers Path:

"Damn it, sister, don't worry, one day Li Wei will help you take it back. If a thousand years isn't enough, then two thousand years will do. In short, you have to believe in Li Wei!"

Li Wei:

"..."

Triss chuckled and couldn't help but laugh:

"Two thousand years? Unless I find some kind of life-extending potion, I won't live to see that time if I can't advance to the eighth ring."

Elena said confidently:

"Don't be discouraged. You're only 1,300 years old. You'll definitely advance to the eighth ring no matter what. Prepare well then, and try to imprint as many witch marks as you can, just like me, before advancing. We don't just want to reach the eighth ring; we want to become Grand Wizards!"

Elena's greatest strength is her confidence!

This is something Triss admires, because she certainly has the right to be confident.

Despite having so many part-time jobs, she was still able to advance to the seventh ring so quickly; that's the source of her confidence.

Li Weidao:

"Don't rush, madam. Once I've mastered the skills of a seventh-ring artifact crafter, I'll forge you a top-grade seventh-ring magical artifact that's no less effective than the Demon Dragon Whip!"

Even a level eight rare treasure cannot unleash its true power, even for a seventh-ring wizard.

In actual use, it might not be as good as a seventh-ring witch artifact.

Triss laughed:

"I'm already very happy that you have this intention. Let's not talk about this anymore; it's all in the past. Once I've accumulated enough battle merits, I'll go to the merit shop and exchange them for an even better rare treasure."

To be honest, she would definitely be heartbroken to lose an eighth-level rare treasure.

However, the city lord who was submerged was at the peak of the eighth ring cultivation level and also controlled a powerful war artifact.

He has also colluded with a great wizard like the Black Sun, and now he has even betrayed the wizarding world, most likely joining the Council of All Races.

How easy is it to get the Demon Dragon Whip back?

Even if Li Wei later develops the power of a great wizard, or even a legendary wizard.

Whether she is still alive or not is unknown.

However, seeing how much Levi and Elena cared about him...

Triss felt a warmth in her heart.

She said:

"By the way, I recently spent 500 million battle merits to exchange for a Morning Star-level artifact, but I was unlucky and randomly got the [Heart of the Flame King] from the Burning faction... If any of you have friends who randomly got an artifact from the Ocean faction, don't forget to introduce it to me. I won't trade with strangers to avoid any trouble."

Li Wei's heart stirred.

The Heart of the Flame King?

This thing is from the same system as the Holy Infant's [Arm of the Flame King].

After thinking for a moment, he said:

"Madam, please keep this artifact for now. Master Fire Dragon needs it. I'll have him find a Morning Star artifact from the Ocean faction to trade with you."

Triss said:

"That's great. I think it won't be long before Master Fire Dragon accumulates five million points. On the other hand, Li Wei, the Lord of the Ancient Dragon Continent, only has five hundred thousand points. Hahahaha."

Li Wei laughed:

"I've been too busy before, but now I can finally make a big push and contribute to the Wizarding World."

He specifically learned so many Light-based spells for the Blood War.

Next, it will come in handy.

Aeneas, Triss's son, is also here to congratulate Levi.

He has been a sixth-ring wizard for over 250 years and is now a senior sixth-ring wizard.

On the mechanical road, everything went smoothly.

The tower owner, despite his busy schedule, brought his wife to offer a toast.

After embarking on the path of mechanics, his strength could no longer be measured by conventional standards.

It could be said that if he mobilized his army of mechanical creatures...

Below the seventh ring, no one can rival him.

Li Wei also took this opportunity to express his sincere gratitude to the tower master for his efforts over the years.

The companions of the Gray Tower also came to offer a toast with similarly complicated expressions.

The aged and somewhat weary-looking Melin said:

"Incredible, incredible! A seventh-ring wizard! Back when we were in the outer ring, we never even dared to dream of such a thing."

Winnie smiled wryly:

"That's right. When I was promoted to a formal wizard, I was so proud of myself for a long time. At that time, I felt that a third-ring wizard was a godlike figure."

Li Wei laughed heartily.

"Look ahead, everything will be better."

Even so, he still felt somewhat sad.

Teacher Mai Lin, the millennium limit is not far away.

He had already done everything in his power to get Mai Lin promoted to the fifth ring.

The Sixth Ring Road was beyond saving.

Mai Lin wasn't particularly talented, nor was she one of those lucky chosen ones with extraordinary fortune.

She was just an ordinary passerby in the wizarding world.

It was only because he met Li Wei that he was able to rise rapidly in rank and reach the Fifth Ring Road.

But for Li Wei, Mai Lin is very special.

Scenes from the past inevitably flood my mind.

In the end, it turned into a silent sigh.

After the banquet.

Li Wei arrived at Mai Lin's residence with a Sky-level rare item he had obtained earlier.

The old man gazed at the stars, and upon sensing the approaching person, calmly smiled and said:

"You've arrived."

Li Weidao:

"There is a wondrous object in the sky here..."

Mai Lin shook her head.

"No, I know myself. Even a Morning Star level treasure can't carry me. Don't waste such a good thing. Save it for the geniuses in the tower. And don't go to great lengths to find me longevity potions or rare treasures. It's meaningless. Li Wei, I have no regrets about my cultivation today. I'm already very satisfied to be able to teach and educate people and live out the rest of my life in peace."

Li Wei sighed.

"The path of spiritual practice is always like this..."

Mai Lin laughed:

"Yes, for you, the constant passing of old friends and the constant making of new ones—isn't that a kind of loneliness?"

Li Wei nodded.

"Teacher, I won't bother you any longer. You should get some rest."

When Mai Lin heard the word "teacher," she paused for a moment, then smiled and said:

"You also need to balance work and rest... Little Li Wei."

The next day.

The sun rose as usual.

Mylene continued to teach pharmacy to new students amidst the war, carrying her books with her.

Back at the Summer Flower Tower, Baihua sensed that Li Wei was in a somewhat heavy mood.

"You've already tried your best."

She comforted him.

Li Weidao:

"Yes, I understand. For most short-lived beings, cultivation is a race against death until one day they accept reality... However, I believe I will outrun death and stay far ahead. You should join me."

Baihua was silent for a moment, then smiled with relief:

"Of course, I'll try my best, but keeping up with you won't be easy."

……

Although he had advanced to the seventh ring, Li Wei was not in a hurry to go and slay the demon.

His top priority is to consolidate his position.

Then I mastered the "Seven Yangs Descending to the Boundary" and the "Microscopic Disintegration Technique".

"Seven Suns Falling to the Boundary" is a bit better, since it has the prerequisite spell "Six Suns Explosion" as its foundation.

"Micro Disintegration Technique" is much more difficult than the previous "Coin of Destiny".

Li Wei estimated that it would be quite good if he could grind this spell to its limit before reaching the seventh ring.

At the same time, he also began to have his men search for other seventh-circle spells for him, including "Thunder Beast Spell".

The Way of the Knight.

The Golden Dragon and the Crimson Emperor Dragon have already reached level seven, and the next step is to cultivate step by step.

With the Black Lotus Beast, the Serpent King Dragon, and the Four-Eyed Shrimp Dragon—all level-six secret medicines—there is enough to support the cultivation of the Breathing Technique.

However, the speed is slower than during the Level 6 period.

But there's nothing we can do about it; his progress is just too fast.

Finding a dragon of the same level at every stage is extremely difficult.

In fact, the fact that there are so many sub-dragon species in the Ancient Banyan Wonderland is already quite incredible.

Also.

The Sky Dragon and the Crimson Dragon are not far from reaching the level six limit.

Because he obtained the bloodline crystal of the Wind Dragon, Li Wei's goal for the Sky Dragon is to evolve it once more. Based on his experience with the Golden Dragon, this would ensure the Sky Dragon could advance to the Mythical level.

As for the Crimson Dragon, it is a dragon race associated with negative energy, and is relatively rare.

The organization has been busy for so long, but still hasn't found a suitable bloodline essence.

Bloodline crystals are not something we can count on for the time being.

Therefore, the focus should still be on advanced techniques.

The Death Dragon is still some time away from its limit.

It is already a mythical creature, and Li Wei has no plans to evolve it any further for the time being.

Once he reaches a higher level, it will likely be easier for him to find powerful dragons.

It's not too late to evolve then.

As for the Ash Dragon kept in the fairy realm, Li Wei had completely given up hope.

It's been so long, and I'm still stuck in the late stage of level 5.

This is the effect of consuming dragon scale fruit.

You should know that it was born at level five.

The growth rate of pure-blooded dragons is far too slow.

It can only be said that in order to maintain balance, multiple dimensions open a window for you while closing a door.

Therefore, he stopped harming children.

However, he still occasionally extracted some Ash Dragon Bloodline Essence.

When combined with the essence of the Black Lotus Beast's bloodline and refined into a secret medicine, the effect is quite good.

Li Wei pondered that after reaching level seven, the next step would be to search for new high-level fire-type dragons.

Simply plucking the Black Lotus Beast dragon is hindering its growth.

After all, both the Death Dragon and the Crimson Emperor Dragon require its bloodline essence.

Ideally, like Sky Dragon, there should be two Thunder-type sub-dragons that take turns fighting each other.

This minimizes the impact on them.

As for Nightmare Dragon, it's currently only at the late stage of level six.

As a relatively supplementary breathing technique, the level of attainment is not very important.

Li Wei took it all in stride.

In terms of combat skills.

The practice of the "Extreme Path Strategy" is not something that can be accomplished in a day.

Next, after Li Wei throws himself into the bloody battle, what demons will he face as his actual combat opponents?

Practicing this should yield twice the results with half the effort.

Li Wei also cultivated the "Whale Emperor's Power Codex" to the seventh level, increasing his power by 280%.

Once mastered, it can be integrated into the [Ten Fierce Martial Arts].

Only after mastering the "Whale Emperor's Power Manual" will Li Wei begin to consider seeking new combat techniques to cultivate and continue to perfect the "Extreme Path Strategy".

The current "Ultimate Strategy" can only be described as a blueprint, and it is still far from the supreme realm envisioned by Li Wei.

Then there is the "Primordial Spirit," a secret technique that unites the spirit and the body, which is currently at the peak of the ninth level.

Now that Wizard Li Wei's mental power has advanced to the seventh ring, he can try to break through the limit and take it a step further to see how things change.

If we want to unify the ways of chivalry and wizardry in the future, the path of the primordial spirit should be the key.

Finally, there is runic language.

The Lover Rune is not far from tier 11.

At that time, the luck boost should be able to reach 100%.

The Moon Rune, now at level eight, has increased Li Wei's base lifespan by 70%.

Li Wei is now a seventh-circle wizard, and according to wizarding calculations, he should have no problem living to 3000 years old.

With the added benefit of the knight, we won't double the calculation; let's assume his base lifespan is 5000 years.

With the blessing of the moon rune, it would be 8500 years old.

"So, by that calculation, even the Great Wizard's lifespan is shorter than mine?"

Li Wei shook his head.

He intuitively felt that if practitioners of two different professions were to cultivate, their lifespans could not be simply added together.

That would be unreasonable. It can only be said that because of the longevity bloodline in his body, there will be some significant increase.

However, it is impossible for his lifespan to be simply the sum of the lifespan of a knight and the lifespan of a wizard.

According to the research of the Twilight Temple, at the same level, the lifespan of a knight is slightly longer than that of a wizard, but it is still limited.

Regardless, given Li Wei's current progress...

He felt that there was no need to worry about lifespan before advancing to legendary status.

……

In the blink of an eye.

Five years have passed in a flash.

Nora, 290.

King Li Long is 715 years old.

In the ancient banyan fairyland, he opened his eyes and sensed the changes in his spiritual energy.

[Mental Strength: 8066/13029]

……

"In 5 years, I have gained 37 points of mental strength. Without taking meditation drugs, I can only meditate for about 7 points a year."

As expected, after advancing to the seventh ring, the difficulty of enhancing mental strength has increased even further.

I still have a proficiency panel. An ordinary seventh-ring wizard, without taking potions and training hard, would be lucky to be half as good as me. Just to grind their mental strength to the limit, it would take them almost two thousand years...

Therefore, after the seventh ring, a large number of Yuanhun wizards were eliminated, and those who could advance to the eighth ring and become leaders of top wizard organizations were extremely rare.

Only top geniuses, with sufficient resources, can maintain relatively rapid progress. Continue striving for the eighth-ring wizard realm.

After the eighth ring, the difficulty increases further. Reaching the ninth ring requires more than just talent; it demands exceptional luck, the assistance of a benefactor, or extraordinary fortune.

As Li Wei has continued his training, he has come to realize that going further on the path of wizardry is not something that can be achieved by a single factor; it often requires a comprehensive approach.

Many things are beyond our control.

But effort is an exception!

The liver! It is a powerful weapon that everyone can possess.

"If you add continuous meditation aids, it's no problem to maintain a mental strength increase of around 10 points per year."

With the addition of soul stones, rare items, and fragments of soul artifacts, reaching the limit of my mental strength in four hundred years is not difficult for me.

However, considering that 27 more witch marks are needed, it would be a victory to advance to the eighth ring in about five hundred years.

At that time, I was only a little over 1,200 years old, which should have made me one of the youngest among the eighth-ring wizards.

If someone is faster than me, they are either a descendant of giants like the Frost Witch, or a reincarnation of a legendary wizard.

Other top geniuses, unless they obtain an extraordinary stroke of luck, probably couldn't do it.

Li Wei discovered that his promotion curve became increasingly faster than others in the later stages.

Before reaching the Yuanhun realm, his progress could only be described as excellent, but it was still far behind many top geniuses. This was because at that time, he was still in the accumulation phase and had many other commitments besides cultivation.

After acquiring the Primordial Soul, the infinite Primordial Soul, combined with the burst of power accumulated in the early stages, and the continuous subtraction after the appearance of the Three-Phase Body, caused his cultivation speed to far surpass that of those top geniuses.

As you can see, even a top-tier genius like the Snow Lotus Witch, whose parents are both Yuanhun Wizards, hasn't reached the sixth ring of perfection yet.

As far as he knew, among the top geniuses of that ancient tower, only a few, such as Kongtianlongwu, had reached the pinnacle of their abilities.

If they want the seventh ring, it will take at least another two hundred years.

"I can't be arrogant. After all, my achievements today are mainly due to some lucky breaks. My personal efforts and personality are not the decisive factors."

Li Wei took out the medicinal materials he had collected over the years and began to refine them.

After many failures, the Seven-Ring Meditation Elixir was finally successfully refined.

His pharmaceutical skills have also reached the seventh level.

As the leader of multiple organizations, Li Wei naturally didn't need to worry about the materials for meditation aids.

With so many people helping him collect enough supplies, he could continuously support himself and cultivate to the limit of the seventh ring.

Moreover, he himself maintains a cash flow of around 10 billion yuan year-round.

However, he generally doesn't spend his own money.

He worked hard to build various organizations back then, all for the sake of today's "publicly funded spiritual practice".

Of course, he only takes a portion; the majority goes to the organization's operating funds.

After all, he wasn't some big-time corrupt official.

For the next period of time...

Li Wei continuously refined meditation aids to improve his pharmaceutical skills.

Two years later.

Once he had mastered the seventh-level alchemy technique and increased his success rate, he began to attempt to refine the [Soul-Suppressing Potion].

The ingredients for the Soul-Suppressing Potion are extremely rare and cannot be easily purchased on the market.

He spent so long organizing and preparing before he finally obtained the materials to refine dozens of batches.

After the petals of the snow lotus are harvested, it takes a hundred years for it to bloom again.

Therefore, the production of this medicine cannot afford too many failures.

Time flies, and before we knew it, another three years had passed.

Before he knew it, Li Wei had already advanced to the seventh ring, ten years ago.

For the past ten years, he has remained secluded, focusing on consolidating his cultivation and making medicine, and has not participated in the bloody battle.

Fortunately, the Wizarding Council does not have strict demon-hunting quotas for leaders of extraordinary organizations like him.

As long as the organizations under his command can make contributions, that's enough.

If Li Wei were a rogue wizard, a seventh-ring wizard who had been fighting for 83 years and only had 50 points, he would definitely be warned by the Wizard Council.

Bloody battles are wars that concern the life and death of civilizations. Although they may not require special military service, in reality everyone is a soldier.

The Wizarding Council, through the Heart of the Skynet, clearly sees who is lazy and who is hardworking.

If they try to evade, then we'll just go to their door and take them away, forcibly conscripting them into the army.

these years.

Li Wei's pharmaceutical skills improved accordingly.

Crafting meditation aids. The success rate is already three-quarters, and the Soul-Suppressing Potion is two-thirds.

He estimated that when his three clones needed a breakthrough potion, he wouldn't need to trouble Ms. Triss; he could refine the Flame Demon Potion for them himself.

However, even Viktor is still some distance from being promoted at this stage.

The Holy Infant, Gandalf, and others will probably be more than a hundred years away.

Li Wei calculated that the next opening of the Dragon Ruins Mysterious Realm was not far off.

He can then re-enter the area to search for the Demon Dragon Grass.

If we could find a level 7 lightning-type magic dragon, that would be perfect, as we could condense a bloodline crystal.

After ten years of cultivation, his Sky Dragon Breathing Technique had reached its limit.

Besides.

Over the course of ten years, the "Seven Suns Descending to the Boundary" spell, building upon the foundation of "Six Suns Explosions," reached its sixteenth level, becoming Li Wei's first seventh-ring Yuan Soul spell and imprinting his first seventh-ring witch mark. It's worth noting that the witch mark from "Six Suns Explosions" still remains.

As for the "Microscopic Disintegration Technique," it's still far from being a beginner's level, and Li Wei has no choice but to proceed slowly. This ultimate killing move involving the principles of space is bound to be very difficult to learn.

"Now that my cultivation level is stable and I've mastered seventh-ring spells, it's time to start climbing the rankings. If I continue like this, I'll become the last-ranked seventh-ring wizard."

Li Wei opened the leaderboard.

He discovered that he had dropped to 198th place. He looked at the list and realized that, excluding those who were in seclusion or had special circumstances, the total number of seventh-ring wizards participating was only about 250.

During this period, Baihua has hunted down many level 6 demons in the Ancient Dragon Continent, and has stabilized in the top 80 with 3.4 million points, steadily rising.

The top three hardcore gamers all have over 30 million hours of playtime, which is simply outrageous.

"While I was in seclusion, my three-part avatar was attacked by the Primordial Amethyst Clan, and that debt must be settled. It is most likely still hiding on the God-Forsaken Continent."

The God-Abandoned Continent, as the main battlefield of the blood war, is a melting pot of all sorts of people.

Li Wei believed that, given the single-mindedness of the Amethyst Clan, they would most likely try to ambush the Holy Infant and his group.

He has dealt with the Amethyst Clan far too many times; no one understands them better than him.

If he gets the chance, we must smash Taigu to pieces.

However, his opponent is a mid-stage level seven Amethyst Clan member, so defeating him shouldn't be a problem. If he wants to keep him here, he needs to prepare properly.

……

Two years later.

Nora in 297, the Battle of 85.

Middle-earth.

Gondor.

The Tower of Dawn.

"14 witch marks now, just one more to go and we'll win."

Viktor put away the spell model crystal ball, feeling pleased.

"Master, Link is here again."

The subordinate reported.

Viktor smiled slightly.

"Looks like he's already on the sixth ring road, not bad."

At the foot of the tower.

Link exuded a sharp sixth-ring aura, and behind him, eight secret swords rotated clockwise like the hands of a clock.

He was enveloped in endless malevolent energy, presumably having emerged from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

"Lord Victor, I would like to have another match with you."

Link felt relieved; he had finally reached the sixth ring before Victor advanced to the seventh.

He knew he would most likely lose this battle, but being able to duel with Viktor was enough.

Victor clapped.

"well!"

Fifteen minutes later.

Link sighed softly, gazing at the thirteen five-ringed secret swords that surrounded him.

"I lost again. Thank you for your guidance, and I wish you a smooth promotion in advance!"

Viktor, with his hands behind his back, exuding the air of a peerless master, encouraged:

"You've held out for so long against my attacks; that's enough. How's your progress in the Qi Cultivation path?"

Link said:

"I'm still practicing innate qi cultivation, but I feel like I've touched the threshold of communion between heaven and man."

Victor exclaimed in admiration:

"Good job, keep it up."

As expected of the owner of [Golden Armor and Iron Heart], this talent is indeed far superior to that of ordinary Qi Cultivation practitioners.

Link left, continuing his journey to the Forsaken Continent, determined to become the most dazzling new star!

Fire Dragon Shop.

The Holy Infant awoke from seclusion.

"Five more witch marks are needed."

Alyssa Draco’s loud laughter rang out.

"Hahaha, Master, I've succeeded! I've become a sixth-ring weapon maker!"

Upon hearing this, the Holy Infant's face lit up with joy.

The weapon-refining room.

Alexandra was covered in sweat and looked somewhat pale.

Inside her weapon-forging furnace, a basic six-ringed secret sword floated, radiating a scorching heat.

"Good. Next, you can take the Sixth Ring Craftsman exam. After you get the certificate, practice some more and be able to produce high-quality items, then you can sell them in my shop."

Alexandra nodded.

"Hehe, it's not easy, finally I don't have to rely on others anymore."

Upon hearing that Alyssandra had crafted a sixth-circle sorcerer's artifact, Ashe, Silverbeard, and Ironfang rushed over.

"Congratulations!"

Ashe hugged Alyssa, and after hundreds of years of arduous training with the master, her efforts finally bore fruit.

Alexandra said:

"Good luck to you too, Aisha."

Across from the Fire Dragon Shop.

There is an unassuming witchcraft shop called Gilmore's Jewelry Shop, which only sells witchcraft rings, necklaces and the like.

A white-robed wizard with white hair was meditating inside.

Suddenly.

A phantom image of a black-armored swordsman appeared before him.

Gilmore hurriedly said:

"Owner"

Li Weidao:

"It seems you're doing well over there in the Abyss, already at the mid-level of level six."

Gilmore said:

"Yes, but without my master's help, I wouldn't be where I am today."

Li Weidao:

"You mean, someone from the Burning Crusade sent you to monitor Ace and the others?"

Gilmore said:

"Yes, Master, I have been in the wizarding world for a long time and am more familiar with it, so our Mind Flayer Chieftain recommended me to a Balrog Lord to be an undercover agent."

Li Wei smiled.

"very good."

Gilmore said:

"The Balrog told me to report Ace and the others' whereabouts in real time, and to notify it immediately if they went to the Forsaken Continent."

Li Wei asked:

"What is the strength of this Flame Demon Lord?"

Gilmore said:

"Mid-level 7, but this person also has an Abyss Dragon, which is also at the 7th level. It is said that the dragon was once the lord of the second level for a period of time before being subdued by Ximu."

Li Wei's heart stirred.

"Do you have detailed information about this dragon?"

Gilmore said:

"I'm not sure what the specific name of the dragon is, but I can sense that it should be lightning-based. However, the lightning might be a different kind of lightning, which seems to be similar to the lightning dragon spell you used, sir."

Li Wei laughed:

"Good, this information is very important. Here are some level six abyssal crystal cores. Refine them to increase your strength and get into a higher level as soon as possible. Tell Nasim that the Three Heroes of Gondor are going to the Forsaken Continent next, so he can make his move."

Gilmore said:

"Thank you, sir."

Li Wei never expected that Gilmore's wizarding world experience would be so highly valued on the other side of the Abyss.

Next, we'll see how Miraa performs.

a few days later.

At Livy's behest, the Gondorian Triumphs once again boarded the Phantom 60 and headed to the land of the Forsaken Gods.

……

The continent abandoned by the gods.

The Devil's Den.

Ximu, who was fast asleep in the lava, suddenly opened his eyes.

"The Three Heroes of Gondor have arrived in the Forsaken. Gilmore's efficiency is quite impressive. For infiltrating, you have to be a Mind Flayer. I have to admire their expertise."

shore.

The black dragon's snorting roared deafeningly. Ximu said:

"Black Flash, wake up, the hunt has begun."

The dragon opened its eyes and licked its lips with its scarlet tongue.

"Master, the taste of a wizarding genius must be quite good, right?"

Ximu smiled and said:

"Of course! Those two idiots, Rogner and Diggo, have utterly disgraced us Balrogs. Let me show the wizarding world what a true Balrog really is!"

……

The Deep Blue Expeditionary Force's base.

"Ms. Lucy, here is the latest battle report."

Sergei, the eighth-ringed wizard, handed the battle report to Lucy.

After reading it, the blue-haired girl remained calm and said:

"Let the 1st Battle Group retreat temporarily. Next, the demons will most likely send a large army to encircle and annihilate them."

Sergei hesitated and said:

"Madam, our First Battle Group currently holds a significant advantage. Should we proceed with this?"

Lucy's deep gaze fixed on Sergei as she slowly spoke:

"Sergei, a soldier's first duty is to obey orders. Just do as I say."

When their eyes met, Sergei, also an eighth-ring wizard, felt an invisible pressure.

"Yes, ma'am!"

Although it defies common sense, he chooses to believe Lucy.

Since the Deep Blue Expeditionary Force arrived on the God-Forsaken Continent, the Burning Expeditionary Force's unstoppable momentum has been curbed.

He knew that Ms. Lucy must have mastered some kind of powerful astrological divination magic, but whether it would be effective on the battlefield of civilizations involved in a war between two races was unknown.

After all, the demons will definitely have their own counter-astrological methods.

Lucy gazed into the distance.

He murmured to himself:

"Li Wei is here too. I wish him good luck in this battle."

……

The headquarters of the Mountain Giant Wizarding Order.

"Soraya, I've come to visit you."

Gandalf's voice came from afar, accompanied by Victor and Ace.

Soraya said:

"Why aren't you obediently advancing to the seventh rank in Gondor? What are you doing here again...?"

Gandalf said:

"The thought of you fighting the demons on the front lines breaks my heart, so I've come to help you and share your burdens."

Soraya said reproachfully:

"You glib old bastard, I think you're just short of materials for a level seven fire demon..."

Gandalf said solemnly:

"That's right. Do you have any clues about a level 7 early-stage Flame Demon recently? We three brothers will help you kill it."

Soraya frowned and said:

"I think you've forgotten the pain of your past mistakes. Have you forgotten the time you were ambushed by the Ancient Ones when you hunted a Level 7 Flame Demon? How can you be so sure the Ancient Ones aren't here this time? The Council of Ten Thousand Races has already turned the Black Dragon Pirates against you and infiltrated our army. Can't you think about your own safety? If it weren't for Master Fire Dragon last time, you'd probably be mincemeat by now. You..."

Soraya sighed, her tone full of disappointment and frustration.

Gandalf gave an awkward smile.

"It's alright, we're prepared this time, please help me."

Soraya covered her forehead, then said:

"Forget it, I don't care about you anymore. Anyway, if you die, it won't have anything to do with me."

Gandalf laughed:

"Tsk tsk, sharp tongue but soft heart, huh?"

Soraya said coldly:

"roll!"

Having received the intelligence, Gandalf grabbed Victor and Ace and ran away in a flash.

"Don't worry, my life is tough as nails... You should take good care of yourself on the front lines."

……

On the wilderness.

The entrance to a cave somewhere.

The Dragon Knight Wizards are ready to go.

Albek said:

"Based on current intelligence, this cavern is suspected to harbor a level seven demon. We must be extremely careful during this cleanup operation and strive to minimize losses while killing the level seven demon."

After many years, Yabek is still at the sixth level of perfection, not yet at the seventh level.

Suddenly.

In the sky.

A figure in white robes descended from the sky; it was Gandalf.

He said with a smile:

"Commander Abeck, leave this to us. You go and support the other battlefields."

Ace nodded.

"That's right."

Abeck was lost in thought.

Against a level seven demon, the Dragon Knight Wizarding Order would indeed inevitably suffer losses.

They were sent here because there wasn't enough manpower.

Since top geniuses like Gandalf and Ace want to take it on, he has no problem with it.

"Watch out, you two... Everyone, follow me."

The Dragon Knight Wizard Order departed in a grand procession.

Gandalf said:

"I'll test the depth of this acupoint."

He leaped into the sky, his body surging, millions of ancient divine runes flashing, his muscles bulging!

Gandalf plummeted downwards, slamming his fist into the entrance to the crypt.

Rumble!

The enormous shockwave, forming a straight line, rushed into the ground, turning everything in its path to dust.

After an unknown amount of time, a faint roar could be heard from below.

"How dare someone disturb King Baalyan's slumber! You're courting death!"

Rumble!

A torrent of lava erupted, shooting high into the sky and turning it crimson.

A level 7 early-stage fire demon, whose aura was even slightly stronger than Rogner's, stood atop the magma.

According to Soraya's intelligence, this guy once devoured a wizarding warband alive and is also a key target of the Wizarding Council.

Having already hunted Balrog twice, Gandalf and the Holy Infant were naturally unperturbed.

Gandalf drew fire from the front lines, while the Demon King and his henchmen engaged the Balrog in battle.

The two colossal objects collided in the sky, and Gandalf was completely at a disadvantage.

However, relying on top-grade magical artifacts such as the Mingwang Armor and the Citroen Armor, along with the companion spirit animal, the White Elephant, they can hold out for a while.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Holy Infant threw out the Crimson Dragon Ring to bind the Flame Demon.

Then, the Nine Dragons Umbrella of Purgatory and the Seven Feathers of Frost Heaven merged to form a purple sun, enveloping the Flame Demon.

After the terrifying explosion, even the mighty Flame Demon suffered serious injuries.

Gandalf gripped the sword of the Sun King, and laser cannons roared forth.

Holy light enveloped the sky, and the fire demon's flesh and blood melted away like ice and snow, causing excruciating pain.

But in the distance.

Viktor's Star Sword, which he had been preparing for a long time, also arrived in an instant, carrying endless sword energy!

The sword spirit unleashed a heaven-reaching sword aura, delivering the final, decisive blow!

"No, no..."

King Balyan's mournful screams echoed through the heavens and earth, and then his mountain-like body collapsed, shattering the earth.

Gandalf and the Holy Infant were both covered in sweat and panting heavily, clearly having expended a great deal of energy.

After all, it's a battle against a higher level, so you have to go all out, just like a sprint in a short race, unleashing your potential in an instant.

next moment.

Suddenly, a jet-black bolt of lightning streaked across the sky.

A black net of lightning, obscuring the sky, descended and enveloped the Holy Infant and Gandalf.

"Heh heh heh, sacrificing that fool Baal to kill two of the wizarding world's top geniuses was worth it!"

Rumble!

With a deafening roar, Ximu made his dazzling entrance.

It exuded a terrifying aura of a mid-level seventh-rank cultivator, riding a jet-black dragon with a wingspan of a thousand meters!

Within the black lightning net, the Holy Infant and Gandalf were enveloped in the radiance of their exquisite magical artifacts, resisting the black annihilation lightning of the Bone-Clinging Maggot.

Ace exclaimed in surprise:

"What a powerful dragon! It feels even stronger than the Balrog."

Gandalf pounded the lightning net with his fists, trying to break through the wind.

Ximu sneered.

"You really think you're invincible just because you've dealt with a few shameful level seven fire demons? Today is the day you two geniuses die!"

Ximu knew that there was no way to defeat Viktor.

That guy never showed up, and he's probably abandoned his teammates and run away now.

There's no way around it; these secret sword wizards are just too cunning.

The lightning net continued to compress, constantly shrinking the space in which the Holy Infant and Gandalf could move.

In Ximu's palm, the Flame Demon Fire condensed into a terrifying spear!

"die!"

The spear pierced through the void, and the space along its path was burned and melted like a candle.

boom!

The earth-shattering explosion created a white shockwave mixed with flames that swept outwards in all directions!

Ximu chuckled strangely.

He knew that even a top genius would not be able to withstand such an attack, and would probably be dead.

next moment.

Ximu's eyes narrowed as he stared incredulously at the massive crater of lava at the center of the explosion.

But then a burly figure clad in black armor appeared, his right hand raised.

The endless golden light coalesced into a shield, protecting Ace and Gandalf within it.

Click.

The shield shattered and turned to ashes, reaching its limit after enduring a terrifying blow.

Ximu's expression changed.

"Who are you?"

Damn it, could this be a trap? How could there be a level seven expert hiding nearby?

"Gilmore!"

Ximu understood.

The current situation clearly indicates that Gilmore's undercover identity has been exposed.

The enemy turned the tables on them, sending skilled assassins to ambush them.

Gilmore is probably in grave danger!

Behind.

Gandalf and the Holy Infant had already torn apart the black lightning net, and the two stood behind Livy, ready for battle.

Ximu sneered:

"A mere early-stage seventh level cultivator, whoever you are, you're nothing but ashes before me!"

He shot forward with a burst of speed, and a flaming spear appeared in his hand.

This time, it's not an illusion, but a genuine level seven magical artifact!

Magical artifacts are rare finds in the abyss.

After all, demons possess powerful physical bodies and magical abilities, so they are not very good at crafting weapons.

A level seven magical artifact is extremely rare, which shows just how powerful Ximu is.

A crimson dragon-shaped iron-slaying technique appeared in Li Wei's hand, and he stepped forward!

"Heavenly Lion Path! Lion King Battle Body!"

boom!

His golden mane, like long golden hair, fluttered behind Li Wei, exuding the domineering aura of the king of beasts, dispelling the gloom in the sky.

The ultimate sword strike clashed with the flaming spear!

After the earth-shattering explosion, Ximu was struck as if by a heavy blow and his body was thrown back violently.

He steadied himself and looked at Li Wei, who had only retreated slightly, his eyes twitching.

"Hmph, just brute force."

Ximu refused to believe in evil and once again gripped his spear. Volcanoes appeared in the void and smashed towards Li Wei!

Li Wei charged in, and a series of explosions rang out.

He felt an increasingly intense sense of danger and muttered to himself.

"As expected, the dangers here... are not limited to Ximu."
