Chapter 995: New Era, Level Fifteen! (3)

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Currently, only powerful primordial soul wizards could barely manage to have their primordial soul enter a soul box.

The souls of ordinary wizards, although they could temporarily enter low-level soul boxes, still couldn’t resist the limitations of lifespan. When their time was up, they would still perish.

The soul box Tower Master gave Stella was just like this. It was merely a temporary vessel for the soul, with no connection to longevity.

To truly resist aging and death, a soul box created by a primordial soul wizard would have a chance of success.

However, as time passed, the effectiveness of the soul box would gradually diminish, and ultimately, the primordial soul would still face the fate of dispersal.

Moreover, the success rate of the lich transformation ritual was not high. If the transformation failed, it meant death, and such souls that defiled the rules couldn’t enter the Underworld for reincarnation!

After transforming into a lich, the lifespan was several times longer than that of an ordinary primordial soul wizard, comparable to some longevity species. However, in the soul box, the spiritual force of the primordial soul would not grow stronger.

This also meant that wizards had no further potential. They completely cut off their path of advancement.

Unless, like Tower Master, they became alchemical creatures with human consciousness.

By giving up the path of wizardry and relying on the iterative upgrade of alchemical creatures to replace the advancement of wizards.

However, despite this, many primordial soul wizards from the School of Death, who were nearing their end, still had many choices to transform into liches. Even primordial soul wizards from other schools began to join in.

Painful Banshee was one such example. She was a sixth-circle primordial soul wizard, reportedly living for three thousand years, far exceeding the two thousand years of a sixth-circle wizard!

It seemed that this old thing could live quite a long time without any problems.

Once Levi decided to take action against Madam Ghost, he would have to consider one thing: how to face such those old monsters who had lived for thousands of years if the Spirit Catcher Steeple launched an investigation into her death.

In terms of knowledge, vision, or social connections, he was no match for them.

In front of a Fifth-Circle Wizard, Levi felt confident about escaping.

But facing a primordial soul, he knew it was impossible!

“This time, I absolutely cannot leave behind any clues or traces! If necessary… I’ll seek help from Madam Triss, even if it’s embarrassing, to save my life.”

Triss was the only primordial soul wizard Levi knew who might confront another primordial soul on his behalf. She was loyal and had no airs about her, and Levi had a sort of mentor-friend relationship with her.

Moreover, she owed Levi a favor.

“I wonder if the Flower Knight is easy to deal with… From the descriptions of the Twenty-Four Flowers, she seems to have a good character and is interested in the path of knights. If necessary, when Hundred Flowers returns, I could offer her a deal: my method to break free from the legendary shackles of knighthood in exchange for her protection. That’s an option. And then there’s… Idrasala, the Immortal Banyan Dragon. If all else fails, I’ll trade the Holy Grail to her first if I get it. Let her provide me with shelter until I surpass her in strength later. I’ll reclaim the Holy Grail and the Immortal Banyan Dragon together…”

Of course, ultimately, he needed to become powerful on his own.

But that would take time. Engaging in direct confrontation with a primordial soul wizard in the short term was out of the question!

In the secret room, Levi planned his future retreat.

So far, there were no signs of danger.

From the intelligence reports, Madam Ghost was currently preoccupied.

Levi still had time to develop to take the initiative against a Fifth-Circle Wizard.

Every step must be calculated, and everything must be prepared.

Without any room for error, only then could he act; otherwise, it would be walking into a trap!

Levi pondered over what aces he had up his sleeve to deal with the Fifth-Circle Wizard.

Firstly, he had a formidable defense with his stacked armors, capable of withstanding attacks from any Fifth-Circle Wizard and even ordinary fifth-circle attacks.

Secondly, he possessed a powerful six-dimensional breathing technique and a destructive sword qi in his transformed state, which could barely break through the protective force field of an ordinary Fifth-Circle Wizard.

Thirdly, he had a mishmash of various things like the Bloodline Dharma Body, Rune Language, Bloodline Divine Weapon, Wizard Tool, puppets, combat arrays, and so on.

But his greatest trump card was the array he had just researched: the Hell of the Seven Kings!

In confronting a Fifth-Circle Wizard, he needed to lure them into the array; otherwise, Levi’s chances of winning were slim. Even if he managed to defeat the opponent, it would be difficult to detain them, posing a potential threat if they escaped.

With these thoughts in mind, Levi immediately began preparations according to the urgency of the situation.

In the year 1144 of the Holy Brilliance Calendar, on the first day of the Month of Beginning, the 43rd round table meeting of the Twilight Knights proceeded smoothly.

This time, the Black Knight was absent.

“Commander, the Black Knight is currently in a crucial period of seclusion. Once he emerges, he will become the Blood Knight!” Emperor Mu stated.

He, Elsa, and the Black Knight were all in the Earth Realm.

“As for me… heh, I’ve already become the Blood Knight.” Emperor Mu chuckled smugly.

“You’re showing off.” The Goddess Knight glared at Emperor Mu.

“Commander, I’ve also broken through to become the Bloodthirst Knight,” the Silver Dragon Knight announced.

Only the Dark Moon Knight wore an embarrassed smile. “Looks like… I’m still the only legendary one left.”

“No need to rush. Arrange things reasonably according to your own progress. Hurrying might lead to disaster,” Levi advised.

The Blood Knight raised his hand. “Allow me to go first. I’m currently in the Forsaken Land of the God. The situation here is even more complicated than we imagined. I’ve heard that there are numerous Level 5 Caves just here.”
