Chapter 1964: 0432 The Legendary Path! (Big Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)_6

So, in recent years, the Witch’s Family has taken advantage of the situation and reached a preliminary framework agreement with the Ancient Dragon Continent, engaging in mutually beneficial cooperation in talent cultivation, knowledge research, and the potion industry.

Riding the wave of this partnership, Levi purchased usage rights for several primordial soul spells from the Witch’s Family at a preferential price.

These primordial soul spells were restricted for use only by himself and his core members.

After careful selection, he chose two spells from the Ocean Faction.

Namely, “Water Ghost Hand” and “Dry Hand.”

“Water Ghost Hand” belongs to the category of top-grade spells that combine elements of the Ocean and Shadow.

This spell requires Levi to touch the enemy with his hand directly for successful casting.

Once cast, the spell creates a water domain beneath the enemy’s feet, summoning a shadow creature known as the “Shadow River Ghost” to drag the target into the legendary Shadow World–essentially an act of banishment.

The Shadow World is far from simple; while not an extra-large plane, it remains enigmatic and extraordinarily dangerous.

Although shadow faction wizards often summon shadow creatures to the Wizard World, few venture into the Shadow World itself due to its rules, which are starkly different from those of most Prime Material planes–almost antithetical. Apart from shadow beings, other entities struggle to exert their full power there.

Thus, while this spell may appear deceptively straightforward, it is insidiously cruel.

Of course, if the enemy is sufficiently powerful, they can resist the Water Ghost’s traction.

The strength of the Water Ghost depends on the spell caster’s spiritual force realm and spell proficiency.

As for “Dry Hand,” it is a pure Ocean faction excellent-level spell.

This spell can completely desiccate an area, including draining moisture from the target’s body.

Should the target’s cultivation be insufficient, they would immediately turn into a withered corpse.

Levi found it particularly suitable for battlefield scenarios, and it sometimes produced miraculous effects in fights against formidable enemies.

He reasoned that, with his Knight Breathing Technique’s inherent spell-like abilities, there was no need to learn too many conventional attack spells. If he did study spells, they should be unique ones, designed to complement his knightly capabilities and avoid redundancy.

After a thorough inspection of his territory, Levi convened a simple round table meeting, instructing all battle groups–except those assigned to guard major organizations–to enter the Nightmare World.

According to intelligence from spies on the front lines, the Seven Sins City Lord had perished in the overlord-level high-tier battlefield.

Currently, Seven Sins City was left with only two Level 7 individuals: Arrogance and Fury.

Moreover, Arrogance was severely wounded and had yet to fully recover his Level 7 Middle Stage strength.

The other generals were in similarly dire straits–dead or injured, reduced to ragged remnants.

Altogether, Seven Sins City could muster only ten strong individuals above Level 6.

Their combined strength had been entirely crushed by Black Dragon Territory.

Meanwhile, the war between the Tyrant of Horror and Blood Rain Overlord had concluded with the crushing defeat and retreat of the Tyrant of Horror.

The Blood Rain Overlord had not even sustained serious injuries and had long since restored his peak power.

The Tyrant of Horror was no match for him and fell into his traps, ultimately fleeing in disgrace.

Now the territories under his banner had begun to be devoured by forces loyal to Blood Rain Overlord.

The Blood Rain Overlord himself had gone into seclusion to recover his energy, delegating matters to his subordinate Great Lords for management.

Levi saw this as an opportunity to seize Seven Sins City and claim it as his own territory.

This would allow the Black Dragon Territory to expand while gathering more resources.

It would also help prepare for the millennium locust plague that was set to strike in seventy years, accumulating more strength in the process.

…

On this day.

In the Nightmare World.

At the training grounds of Black Dragon Territory.

Brawny figures began to materialize one after another.

Blood Apostles, Golden Lion Apostles, Black Apostles… various apostle groups assembled in their respective formations.

Each of them was clad in armor, with distinct emblem designs tailored to their groups.

The styles of the apostle groups’ armor varied greatly–some rugged and barbaric, others eerie and flamboyant.

The battle groups “Song of the Sirens,” “Doomsday Valkyrie,” “Giant Soldier Roar,” and “Barbarian Ancestor” also arrived one after the other.

Gazing at the masses of elite battle groups and the powerful aura radiating from the Level 6 leaders standing before them, Levi felt a surge of ambition.

“Full army deployment! Target… Seven Sins City!”

The Black Dragon Territory, having lain dormant for so long while steadily gathering strength, was finally ready to strike back.

Airships unfurled against the wind, filled with battle group members, transforming into streams of light as they vanished into the horizon.

…

Seven Sins City.

At this moment, it was far from peaceful.

The General of Arrogance exuded the imposing presence of a Level 7 Middle Stage, puffed up with a massive chest, head held high, glaring at the other generals through his nostrils.

“The City Lord is dead; Arrogance should ascend! I, Arrogance, will become the new City Lord, taking control of all the territories! Who here supports me, and who opposes me?”

A bald, fiery-tempered brawny man furiously retorted:

“I oppose! In terms of seniority, I’ve been around longer than you. I think I’m more suitable!”

Arrogance replied coldly:

“Fury, you should know that you’re no match for me.”

The brawny man said:

“Heh, if it were before, I would’ve admitted as much. But your injuries should still be far from healed, right? Everyone, would you prefer Fury as City Lord, or that self-important, contemptuous bitch taking over?”

The other generals exchanged awkward glances.

If given a choice, they wouldn’t pick either contestant–it was like choosing between a pompous egomaniac and an unpredictable rage-filled brute, neither of whom inspired confidence.

Still, given the current circumstances, the generals were forced to take sides.

Yet, pledging allegiance was a delicate decision; choosing wrong would have dire consequences.

For a moment, silence filled the air, as no one dared to speak up first.

Then, a nebulous voice descended from the heavens.

“Since everyone is so indecisive and hesitant to cause discord, why not let me become the City Lord?”

Under the sky painted red and black, the void suddenly shattered.

A black dragon with broken wings and menacing claws emerged, coiling in the air with a sardonic gaze.

Arrogance’s expression shifted.

“The Black Dragon Lord?”

Fury also showed a vigilant look.

“Are you the Black Dragon Lord? Did you kill Gluttony?”

The black dragon morphed instantly into a black-armored swordsman, arms crossed and cloak billowing.

Levi replied:

“It wasn’t me, don’t make baseless accusations. How could I, a mere Level 6, kill a Level 7?”

Lust unintentionally revealed a tantalizing allure, laughing seductively:

“Oh my, Black Dragon Lord, such audacity! To dare brazenly trespass into our Seven Sins City, this Dragon Pond and Tiger Cave. Surely, you don’t intend to leave alive?”

Levi chuckled:

“Lady Lust, that depends on whether you have what it takes to make me stay… Besides, who said I came here alone?”

Before the words had fully landed.

On the chaotic wilderness outside Seven Sins City, fissures tore through the void, forming black vortices. Twenty airships simultaneously emerged, an awe-inspiring spectacle.

From all directions came powerful Level 6 auras–some humans, some from the Dragon Clan–with their presence like smoke signals surrounding Seven Sins City.

Levi asked:

“Everyone, any objections to me taking over as City Lord now?”
