Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 602 Fusion of Seals, Chaos Warlock! (Mid-chapter, requesting monthly votes and subscriptions)

Eight years later.

Nora calendar year 1970, Blood War year 1858.

Arcane Star Viken, having risen to the sixth circle of Arcane Master, has grown into a pillar of the Arcane Academy over three hundred years. He took the baton from the former headmaster and officially led the Arcane Academy, making outstanding contributions to reforming factions and optimizing arcane arts.

After that, Viken was listed on the Star List, becoming one of the supernovas.

same year.

Edward the Fist of Platinum, with the talents of a Chaos Child, advanced to the sixth ring of Body Mage, becoming the first person besides Gandalf to cultivate the Body Mage of Chaos to the sixth ring. Gandalf kept his promise and took him as his second disciple.

Furthermore, he bestowed upon him a rare body-refining artifact of the Bright Moon level as a gift for becoming his disciple.

Six months later.

The Halo Knights have advanced to level seven, and all eighteen Twilight Knights have reached level seven. At the same time, the mythical bloodlines of the Twilight Temple have reached 24 types!

Three years later.

The eldest son of the Fire Dragon Knight, the Giant Spirit Wizard, was promoted to a level seven knight and also served as a body-refining wizard of the seventh ring. His second son, the Wind and Fire Dragon Wizard, also made great progress in his cultivation.

Their father, the Fire Dragon Knight, is already at the peak of level eight. He will need to stay at level nine for a long time until he gathers all the materials for his super mythology advancement.

Two years later.

Having returned from his journey through the planes of the Flame Wolf Saint after more than 150 years away from the ancient tower, he discovered the legacy of an ancient burning sect great wizard while exploring an ancient ruin. He also obtained a sacred fire-type medicine and a rare radiant artifact.

Not long after, the Flame Wolf Saint broke through to level nine, becoming the first [Grand Runemaster] in the history of the Runemaster spellcaster system.

Although not a wizard, they shared the same lineage and were also human. The council quickly bestowed upon the Flame Wolf Saint the title of "Flame Wolf Walker," placing him within the ranks of the Grand Wizards.

At this point, the number of Grand Wizards reached 200!

There are 258 level-nine powerhouses in the Norawan race.

Overall, wizards and humans still hold an absolute dominant position, and their scale is larger than that of the top ten races combined.

This is also why parliament can expand with confidence.

Given the speed of development of the wizard civilization, no single race of the Noravan can keep up. Only by uniting as a whole can they stand shoulder to shoulder with it.

In addition, the wizard civilization has a strong assimilation ability; any civilization or race that has lived alongside humans for ten thousand years will eventually be assimilated into it.

Before the three great mountains are overthrown, there will be at most minor frictions between the various races, and it will be difficult for large-scale conflicts to break out. The main contradiction at this stage will not change.

As for the main challenges of the future, that will depend on the wisdom of future generations. For the current leadership of the Nora Council, surviving this great calamity is the top priority!

……

Nora year 1975.

Ancient Banyan Tree Wonderland.

Li Wei opened the proficiency panel.

Li Wei——————

Chaos Seal: Tier 1 (1/1000), Special Effect: Bloodline Limit.

……

The original eight great seals of the four major families have disappeared, and Li Wei has integrated and evolved them into this special skill.

The [Chaos Seal] is a special spell that only the Child of Chaos can cultivate. It has no distinction of ring number and is more like a cultivation technique or secret art than a spell.

So far, there are nine floors in total.

When cultivated to its fullest potential, its power is equivalent to a nine-ring spell.

The Chaos Seal is not merely a fusion of seals, but also embodies Li Wei's understanding of chaotic magic; it is an all-encompassing seal.

Those who practice this mudra, if they study it diligently and have good comprehension, may be able to comprehend the myriad magical wisdom that Li Wei has incorporated into it.

Furthermore, unlike traditional magic,

The Chaos Sign has a bloodline effect, which can be inherited through bloodline, similar to the knight's bloodline. For example, if Li Wei mastered the Chaos Sign, his child would be born with some of the Sign's abilities even if he did not have wizarding talent.

However, without the talent of a child of chaos, one cannot advance further in cultivating this inherited magical seal ability, and the upper limit of strength is at most level one.

Those with the talent of the Child of Chaos can cultivate directly without inheritance.

However, if one possesses wizarding talents that are not those of a child of chaos, one cannot cultivate the Chaos Seals, nor can one inherit them through bloodlines.

Either a "child of chaos" or "without talent".

Of course, those with other talents do not need to cultivate the Chaos Seal. Li Wei researched this method mainly for the benefit of the many Chaos Children and ordinary people without talent.

Unlike bloodlines, the bloodline inheritance of the Chaos Seal does not gradually thin or weaken with each generation.

On the contrary, each generation can store their understanding and insights into the Chaos Seal into the Dharma Seal, thus passing it on to the next generation.

With each layer of accumulation, the Chaos Seal will only become stronger, more perfect, and closer to the untouchable truth in the future!

all in all.

This is a type of "cloud magic" that can be inherited, shared, and edited through bloodlines. Its most unique feature is that it brings together the wisdom of generations. This is the significance of [Bloodline].

It's not about sitting around and running out of resources; it's about carrying on the past and forging ahead into the future!

This is also Li Wei's greatest discovery since he embarked on his wizarding journey, which he made through his own efforts based on the four family seals.

Of course, there's also a little bit of help from the control panel.

There is no strongest, only stronger!

Each wizarding family possesses its own "cloud magic," and with a thousand families, there are a thousand "chaos seals."

"This Chaos Seal can already be used to create a separate spellcaster class system under the Wizard category. Spellcasters who can inherit their spells through bloodline can be more reasonably called [Warlocks], so let's call them... [Chaos Warlocks]."

The Chaos Warlock is based on the seals of the four great families and incorporates Li Wei's understanding and insights into the ways of knights and wizards over two thousand years.

It was created specifically for the lowly members of the wizarding world, such as the Chaos Children who are ignored by everyone, with the aim of continuously raising the strength of the lower classes through the power of family and inheritance.

One day, tens of thousands of families of Chaos Warlocks will emerge in the wizarding world, becoming the main force of the lower and middle levels of spellcasters in the Nora civilization.

……

Time flies, and another five years have passed.

Nora calendar year 1980, Blood War year 1868.

After a long period of experimentation, Li Wei found the Chaos Warlock system to be feasible, and he established the first Chaos Warlock family on the Ancient Dragon Continent.

He then went to the High Council.

Eamon and the others were having a meeting, and all of them looked somber.

According to intelligence reports, 70 Nightmare Lords have been recruited and gathered in the Lost Realm.

"Two of the Nightmare Emperors have already arrived; the situation is not optimistic."

"Especially the ignorant monarch, who is skilled in astrology and divination, is known as the Nightmare Brain and is an invincible strategist, unlike ordinary monarchs."

"Including the Fire Bear Emperor who just joined the Provisional Council, and the Primordial Demon Lord Xuan, there are 42 people on our side, making a total of 66 people in the three-party alliance."

In terms of quantity, it seems that we are not much inferior to them.

However, most of the level 10 powerhouses within the multi-dimensional world are only at the initial stage, while in the Nightmare World, the Seven Deadly Sins' surviving demon lords, along with many veteran monarchs, have all mobilized their forces, not to mention their numbers are still skyrocketing.

"A senior councilor sighed."

Emmon Road:

"When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it. Next, everyone, follow orders and learn the Zerg's efficient combat methods. We might just be able to stop the Nightmare Monarch."

The Frost Witch said:

"The number of Zerg warriors is far less than that of the Astral, yet they have achieved victories against overwhelming odds, inflicting heavy defeats on the Astral in many battles. This is something we should learn from."

The will of Heaven said:

"In my opinion, based on previous war cases, Nightmare could at most mobilize a hundred or so monarchs to invade the transplane. Although Nightmare has many powerful beings, it needs to guard against the Astral Plane and the Abyss, as well as other enemies it has provoked over the years."

There's no need to panic.

Don't forget, Li Wei is almost level 10 too. If we just persist for a few hundred years, once he reaches level 10, he'll be equivalent to at least twenty level 10s, right?

Just then, Li Wei's voice came from outside:

"Hahaha, Senior Cangtian flatters me. I'm not sure about twenty, but ten should be no problem."

Many legendary wizards were delighted to see Li Wei emerge from seclusion.

They sensed that Li Wei's mental strength had exceeded the limit of 70,000. It seemed he would soon become a legend.

Such large-scale wars have been common for thousands of years. As long as the main base is held, we can wait for Li Wei to grow up.

After exchanging pleasantries with everyone, Li Wei shared his thoughts on the Chaos Warlock at the round table, much to the surprise of spellcasters like the legendary wizard and the Grey Hawk Mage.

Eamon laughed:

"I never imagined you had studied the seals of the four great families to such an extent. The four great families were originally the product of an experiment by a legendary wizard."

However, due to unforeseen circumstances, their mission was ultimately thwarted. Because they could inherit magical seals through bloodlines and possessed certain extraordinary abilities without relying too much on elemental power, the council arranged for them to serve as guides in the mortal world before the end of the Dharma era.

"I see."

After multiple rounds of evaluation by the High Council, Chaos Warlocks were officially recognized as a sub-class of the Wizard class system, forming their own distinct faction.

A month later.

The Warlock Administration was officially established.

Li Wei served as an advisor, responsible for guiding the council staff in spreading and supporting the Chaos Warlocks, so that they could grow up as soon as possible.

Subsequently, the Supreme Council issued a notice.

The Chaos Warlock class, a unique and extraordinary path researched by the Twilight Temple Lord, has been officially established. All Chosen Ones can receive related knowledge for free, including the Twilight Temple Lord's legacy such as "The Mark of Chaos," "Etheric Meditation," and "Analysis of the Warlock Class." The emergence of the Chaos Warlock is a boon to countless Chosen Ones, and the key to our struggle against the colossal world, where everyone can become a dragon.

In recognition of this achievement, the Nora Council awards the following:

1. Medal of the Ancestor of Warlocks (Anyone who wears this medal will become an officially recognized progenitor of the extraordinary profession, their name forever remembered.)

2. The ultimate treasure, "Ice and Fire Armor".

The announcement shocked the Noravan race, especially the spellcasters, for the birth of each new transcendental system was extremely difficult.

Chaos Warlock sounds like a prestigious profession.

After reading the parliament's presentation, everyone was even more shocked.

"The spring of the Child of Chaos has arrived!"

"Yes, first it was the Chaos Body Refining Method, and now it's the Ether Meditation Method and the Chaos Seal... We ordinary people from the bottom class will have a tomorrow too."

"That's right. The Chaos Seal is all-encompassing, capable of breaking through all laws with a single seal, and its power can continuously increase as one's cultivation level rises, with no upper limit."

"Most importantly, it can actually be inherited through bloodline."

"Gandalf and the Lord of Twilight have appeared in our time; it is truly a blessing for us, the children of Chaos. We have finally risen up."

Upon returning from the High Council, Li Wei also received two major rewards.

The first one, needless to say, is of an honorary nature, much like the title of Ancestor of Wizards for Sauron. The title of Ancestor of Warlocks for Levi is clearly an exaggeration by the Council. Currently, the Chaos Warlock class is still very underdeveloped and can only be considered subordinate to the wizarding system.

The second treasure is also useless to Li Wei.

Clearly, these were specially prepared by the council for the Fire Dragon Master. Gandalf had the [Abyssal King Armor] for protection, while Ace had the [Ice and Fire Boundary Armor].

With the treasure in hand, and their combined skills, even a common level 10 sneak attack would be enough to save their lives, ensuring their safety in the upcoming Nightmare War.

The Ice and Fire Armor was not specially crafted by the Council, but was a relic of an ancient level ten powerhouse named [Ice and Fire Saint Venerable]. He once established a powerful civilization, which was later destroyed by the Earth Demon Lord, and this treasure was then collected by him.

After defeating the Earth Demon Lord, Amon possessed this treasure. Because it was of both ice and fire element, the Wizard Council did not have a powerful member who could fully utilize its potential.

He took this opportunity to reward Li Wei.

The Ice and Fire Realm Armor was forged by the Holy Venerable using two large world cores, as well as the level ten divine artifacts [Sun God Gold] and [Extreme Cold Divine Iron].

Currently ranked 29th in the Pan-Dimensional rankings, defensive treasures are generally ranked higher than offensive treasures but lower than civilization treasures.

This armor is certainly not as good as the Blood Battle Armor or the Abyss King Armor, but it is enough for the Holy Infant to use to transition to the Legendary Realm. After that, he will definitely forge a more suitable one himself.

In other words, Li Wei's standards were too high. If it were any other level 10 powerhouse, such a top-30 treasure would be enough to cause a bloodbath across different planes.

The Ice and Fire Armor has three functions:

First, its superior defense stems from both the armor's inherent protection and the treasure's ability to unleash a vast ice and fire barrier spanning tens of thousands of miles, lasting for fifteen minutes. This barrier's protective capabilities are comparable to the defensive spells of legendary wizards.

Second, the Ice and Fire Nova unleashes all the ice and fire elemental power stored within the armor at once, creating an ice and fire explosion attack comparable to a legendary spell. After being modified by the Council, it can also be charged with Taishi, 2000 billion Taishi at a time.

Third, Ice-Fire Leap: The Ice-Fire Armor allows you to use a teleportation technique once a day to open an ice-fire passage, enabling you to instantly travel 200,000 miles away.

After studying it, Li Wei gave the treasure to the Holy Infant.

To test its defensive capabilities, he slashed at the Holy Infant with his sword. Although it was a casual gesture, even a level 10 ordinary person would not dare to take it head-on.

The Holy Infant did not flinch.

Boom! The sword energy blasted the Holy Infant tens of thousands of miles away, sending it crashing into the sea like a meteor. Then, a scene of ice and fire appeared over a radius of tens of thousands of miles above the sea, a truly awe-inspiring sight.

The Holy Infant's form had been shattered into ice and fire elemental particles, and then reformed, its face slightly pale, but full of excitement: "As expected of a supreme treasure, without its protection, I definitely wouldn't have been able to withstand that sword strike just now."

"Alright, you can go back now."

High above, Levi gazed at Nora.

Many wizards who passed by respectfully called him the "Ancestor of Sorcerers".

"There is still so much to explore on the path of the warlock. Truth is endless. I have only just begun. The refinement of this path will require the efforts of everyone, generation after generation. The Chaos Warlock is just the beginning, not the end."

……

Ten years later.

Nora calendar year 1990, Blood War year 1878.

Over the years, Chaos Warlocks have flourished throughout Nora, spreading at an unimaginable speed, and the power of the Chaos Sigil has been recognized by everyone.

Some Chaos Children wizards, after taking on the role of sorcerer, only learn the spells necessary for advancement and specialize solely in the Chaos Seals.

There's a strong trend of relying on a single, effective trick.

Livy, the father of sorcerers, advised:

"The path of wizardry is the path of knowledge; knowledge is the foundation, knowledge is power. Do not neglect the essentials and delay your proper wizarding training. Currently, sorcerers are merely a supplement to the wizarding path; solely cultivating the Chaos Seal is not advisable."

We naturally listen to what our ancestors said.

In this way, the path of the Chaos Warlock was able to develop healthily.

……

The wheels of history keep turning.

Both the Pan-Dimension and Nora are in the calm before the storm. The terrifying pressure from the Nightmare World is like dark clouds obscuring the sky, suffocating everyone.

According to intelligence from spies at the front, the number of level 10 powerhouses in the Nightmare World has reached 81, and the growth rate has begun to slow down.

The Lord of the End of Nightmare Command, along with other legendary wizards skilled in divination, conducted joint calculations and ultimately concluded that the Nightmare invasion was about to begin.

However, since Nightmare Monarchs are generally skilled in perception and have the strategist, the Ignorant Monarch, in charge, the authenticity of the intelligence needs further verification.

The Nora Council subsequently recruited three more level-ten powerhouses as mercenaries: [Empress of Heavenly Light], [Great Spiritual Venerable], and [Lord of Crying and Laughing].

The first is the monarch of a female empire in the Pan-Dimension. Her true form is the [Light Woman Clan], a unique humanoid race that reproduces through parthenogenesis, hence it consists only of women.

It is similar to the Queen of the Kingdom of Women, and the method of getting pregnant is also very similar, both involving a river in the world called the "Mother River of Light".

The Light Maidens only need to bathe in it after reaching sexual maturity to become pregnant and give birth to a new individual; they only have one chance to become pregnant in their lifetime.

Empress Tianguang herself possessed a supreme treasure, the River of Light, which was said to be a rare artifact forged by the first empress.

Legend has it that the first empress was troubled by love, so she resolved to keep her people away from "stinky men" and devised a way to create a treasure from the Mother River.

This led to the existence of the Guangnu tribe as we know it today.

The Empress is at the mid-stage of level 10, ranking in the twentieth place across different planes.

The Spiritual Grand Master is the leader of the Spiritual Clan. He was born with so-called "spiritual abilities" and is also known as the "Emperor of Spiritual Abilities" and the "Superpower Ruler".

This is a race whose physical bodies are as weak as humans, and who also cultivate spiritual power. They use spiritual power to control psychic energy, thus giving rise to a wide variety of complex "superpowers".

A late-stage Level 10 Spiritual Grandmaster, currently ranked 14th across all planes.

It already possesses treasures, but desires more and, confident in its own abilities, chooses to work in Nora for a while to earn some treasures to take back.

The last god of crying and laughing.

A mid-stage Level 10 cultivator, ranked 26th in the multi-dimensional world, with an unknown true form, this powerful lone wolf is said to be capricious and unpredictable. It excels at controlling the emotions and minds of living beings, making its attacks incredibly difficult to defend against.

Since the implementation of the incentive policy for the treasure.

Eight level-ten powerhouses have already been recruited for Nora, with remarkable results.

Over the years, the number of members in the Void Sanctuary has increased by one, reaching 13.

Including the [Primordial Demon Lord], the Nora Council can mobilize 45 level-10 combatants, bringing the total number of combatants in the three-way alliance to 70. Although this is still 11 fewer than the Nightmare Alliance, it gives them the resources to wage a protracted war.

As for the Underworld, it has not yet declared war on Nightmare, so it will not openly help Nora. As for whether it is behind the scenes, we do not know.

Nora, 2000.

The new era is about to pass its second millennium.

It was also the year 1888 when the bloody war began.

At this historic juncture, Amon arrives at the Tower of Babel, overlooking the land of Noravana, with the blazing sun high above his head.

Eamon provided a summary of the parliament's work over the past two millennia and released the "Nora 3000-Year Work Plan":

As long as the Abyss has not given up its bloody battle, the Nightmare World will be the primary enemy of the Nora civilization for the next thousand years.

But Nora won't give up!

Since the planes converged, Nora has achieved an unprecedented record of dying at level 0, slaying more than ten level 10 powerhouses from the Abyss and Nightmare, a feat that can be described as miraculous.

In the new millennium, Nora will break the Nightmare World's blockade against us at minimal cost, overthrow the Colossus' oppression, and march toward victory!

At this moment, the entire Noravan race cheered and were encouraged. Everyone realized that they were doing something absolutely great for themselves and their civilization!

Humans, giants, scaled creatures, sea creatures... wizards, beast tamers, knights—regardless of race or profession, they are all an indispensable part of the new era.

Emmon Road:

"Man will conquer nature. The meaning of so-called calamities and disasters lies in the destruction they bring by living beings. I am merely the navigator of the Nora ship; the true vessel that carries the ship is the people of Nora, all living beings!"

The catastrophe will eventually pass, but Nora's will never cease!

Following the inspiring speech, throughout Nora, well-trained legions silently made their way through the Shadow Web and the Void Web to the Shadow World and the Void Sanctuary, where the Nightmare World's army had already invaded.

They attempted to break through the opponent's weaknesses one by one.

Pan-Dimensional vs. Nightmare World.

70 people against 81 or more!

This will inevitably be an extremely difficult battle, because all the level 10 powerhouses from the transdimensional world who could come have already come; those who couldn't have chosen to live in seclusion.

In the Nightmare World, as long as the base is not raided, troops can continue to be added. In the next few hundred years, more than a hundred monarchs may descend upon Nora.

……

One month after the big speech.

Nora's Dark Side.

At the summit of Roger Mountain, Vekner was explaining magical concepts to the Shadow Queen. Suddenly, he frowned slightly and looked into the distance.

"What's wrong, teacher?" Aya asked.

"Aya, you should go back to the Ancient Dragon Continent first. The Nightmare Invasion has begun."

"teacher……"

"Go back. You have your own battles to fight. It's pointless for you to worry about my safety. Grow up quickly. I look forward to the day when the three legends of our Shadow School live in the same era. It's not far away."

"The students will definitely work hard!"

After the Shadow Queen left, behind Vicna, several gray figures exuding a level nine aura and wearing crowns appeared and stood silently.

"Ashen Lords, prepare for battle."

……

The Dark Land.

Around Nora's world, there are not many planes left; they have all been absorbed and integrated into Nora. Further away, there are only a few scattered worlds.

On this day, these worlds began to tremble and buzz.

A crimson and black mist from the nightmare world shrouded the mortal realm, spreading across the dark lands, and jagged ravines emerged from the void.

Forty-nine Nightmare Monarchs, radiating a powerful aura, descended, their presence shaking the universe. The leader of them was none other than the Ignorant Monarch.

According to its agreement with the Lost Monarch, the latter led 30 powerful warriors to conquer the Shadow World and the Void Sanctuary. While Nora was supporting those two sides, the Unknowing Monarch seized the opportunity to invade, sweeping Nora away with overwhelming force.

"The four Demon Lords, seal off Nora from all sides. The rest of you, heed my command: when the time is ripe, follow me directly into the world of Nora and slaughter them until rivers of blood flow!"

The ignorant monarch gazed at Nora in the distance, a strange smile on his face.

……

In 2000, the Second Nightmare War began!

This battle involved more than 150 level-ten combatants and was a top-tier battle throughout the history of various planes from ancient times to the present, attracting attention from many parties.

……

Astral Plane.

Compared to his colleagues who were tied down by the Zerg Queen, the Storm Emperor was relatively relaxed, currently playing chess with the Great Prophet.

"Alas, I have lost again. He truly is a great prophet, the god of wisdom."

"The Storm Emperor laughed."

The great prophet spoke in a mechanical voice.

"My combat prowess is inferior to that of the Emperor, but in this world, those who can rival me in chess number no more than a handful. I am truly as lonely as snow."

"Is there anyone who can be compared to the Great Prophet?"

"That's natural; that ignorant monarch is one of them."

"Speaking of which, does the Great Prophet believe the Nightmare World can win this battle?"

"Don't try to trick me into telling me anything; I'll only answer if you pay me."

The Storm Emperor took out a divine object and handed it to the Great Prophet.

The latter put it away with satisfaction and said:

"We can't win."

"Oh? Is that true? 70 to 81, that's a huge difference."

"There are too many variables."

"Could our Star Realm seize this opportunity to take over the Nightmare World, eliminate the fear of the multiverse, and monopolize the Great Dao of the Spirit?"

"That's a different price."

……

abyss.

On the 660th floor, more than forty demon lords have gathered.

The succubus queen's gaze swept over the crowd as she said:

"Now that Nightmare and the Pan-Dimension are at war, in my opinion, even if Nightmare wins, it will inevitably be a lose-lose situation. Like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, you all must come with me to the Pan-Dimension to ambush Nightmare and take over Nora!"

……

The Golden Sacred Realm.

The golden light that Louluo Saint King transformed into fell to the ground.

"Tianhui, Nightmare has launched a full-scale war against the Pan-Dimension and Nora. Our chance has come! Everyone, get ready. If those wizards are completely wiped out, all the better. If not, we will sweep away the remaining forces with overwhelming force!"

The Way of the Holy King Tianhui:

"I have already communicated with the Golden Will. Some powerful gods in the Astral Plane who did not participate in the war against the Zerg are also watching and trying to take this opportunity to eliminate Nora and severely damage Nightmare."

Therefore, you don't need to worry too much.

With the astral realm's intervention, the outcome is already decided.

I've heard that the Astral Plane might intervene.

The worries that had been hanging over all the holy kings were finally put to rest.

This one's in the bag!

I'm asking for monthly votes, recommendations, and subscriptions.

Correct typos first, then make proper changes.
