Chapter 1968: 0433 Hundred Flowers Seven-Circle! (Big Chapter for Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)_4

After all, the military strength of Seven Sins City is far from weak.

“Blood Knights, take some time to rest, then swiftly advance to capture the remaining territories of Seven Sins City. Do not give those people any room to breathe.”

The remaining lesser opponents are not worth Levi’s personal attention.

“Understood.”

Levi gazed at Triss.

“Madam, this brain might be useful. It’s yours now.”

Triss smiled and said:

“Then I won’t hold back.”

For all these years, Triss had stayed in the Nightmare World for one reason:

To research breakthrough potions.

From the first-circle to the seventh-circle, she aimed to develop a whole series.

Since Abyss Demons could provide the necessary components, Nightmare Creatures should also have suitable materials. It’s just that she hasn’t discovered the right methods or patterns yet.

If successful, her contribution to wizard civilization would rival the series of Abyss-related potion formulas invented by the Deep Blue Sage.

As the creator of these formulas, she could earn vast wealth just from patent usage fees.

Alternatively, she could produce the relevant potions and sell them through Gandalf Pharmacy’s channels to gain dividends.

In short, Triss’s primary goal in her next life was to become a wealthy and financially free woman.

Of course, the difficulty of developing breakthrough potions is among the highest of all potion types.

For now, Triss had mostly completed her research on low-level potion formulas, but she was far from finishing the ones for middle- and high-level potions.

One month later.

All the territories under Seven Sins City were conquered by the battle groups.

A total of 13 territories were seized, marked with Levi’s Black Dragon aura as his own domains.

Any wandering lords seeking to invade would need to carefully weigh their strength first.

The Nightmare World remained as primitive as ever, resembling the lion prides on the African savanna.

These captured territories couldn’t all be assigned a Nightmare Lord for governance. Of the local upper-level beings under Levi, only the Faceless Infant Dragon was sixth-level. As such, Levi delegated the battle groups to claim and arrange for specific personnel to guard and cultivate the lands.

Electric Saw Head and Triangle Head, once peak-level five leaders, were on the brink of reaching sixth-level. Levi anticipated that within the next century, there would be a small wave of Nightmare Lords emerging.

Black Dragon Territory.

Levi sat on the throne while the three Generals–Lust, Sloth, and Greed–knelt before him and saluted:

“Greetings, lord.”

Lust appeared as a courtesan, Sloth as a burly man, and Greed as a middle-aged woman.

Levi commanded:

“You three are to serve Madam Triss from now on. Follow her orders, or I won’t hesitate to dispose of you.”

He idly fiddled with the Bag of Gluttony, his threatening intent implicit.

Lust immediately pledged:

“Rest assured, Lord. We are devoted to serving you wholeheartedly. If you ever wish to take action… I am available as well.”

Levi chuckled and asked:

“I’m curious, what is your essence? Arrogance is the brain, Gluttony is the stomach, Wrath is the liver, and Jealousy is the heart.”

Lust replied:

“Mine is the uterus. What’s the matter, Lord? Interested in seeing it?”

Levi responded:

“I see… you may step back now.”

Actually,

he had once entertained the idea of whether combining the seven deadly sins’ organs might sew together some sort of monster.

However, with the Bag of Gluttony already refined into a Wizard Tool and Arrogance’s Brain given to Madam Triss, he abandoned the research entirely.

Ancient Dragon Continent.

At the Dusk Holy Temple, the knights were still immersed in the recordings of the month-long war, studying their weaknesses to improve in the upcoming blood battles.

Seeing everyone so enthusiastic about learning, Levi was quite pleased.

During this battle, numerous rare sixth-level materials and components had been gathered from the Nightmare Lords. Levi planned to send these to the Holy Infant, including the heart and liver organs.

Additionally, there was a golden greatsword.

This sword was recovered from Arrogance, and Madam Triss had declined to take it. Thus, it belonged to Levi.

After examining it, Levi discovered it was a rare treasure.

Moreover, it wasn’t a product of the Nightmare World–it originated from the Multidimensional Plane, belonging to a king from another realm.

As spoils of war from the Nightmare’s invasion of other worlds, the sword had by chance fallen into the hands of Arrogance General.

“The Sun King’s Sword, a level 7 treasure. Such an exceptional artifact is wasted on a Nightmare Lord. Let Gandalf have it.”

This sword had two primary functions:

First, like the Sword of Victory, it could inspire morale, a common feature among the personal swords of the kings of transcendent civilizations.

Second, it could absorb light energy, store it, and unleash the devastating [Sun King’s Cannon].

Each blast required a seven-day recharge. A direct hit was powerful enough to shatter the defensive field of a seven-circle ordinary wizard.

Aside from that, its durability made it suitable for Gandalf to wield in combat.

A few days later.

Gandalf took the greatsword and some weapon refinement materials, passing the resources along to the Holy Infant.

With the significant threat of Seven Sins City resolved, Levi resumed his seclusion while the construction and cultivation of his territories in the Nightmare World progressed fervently.

…

Time flew by like an arrow; the years passed swiftly.

In the blink of an eye, six years had gone by.

The year Nora 186.

Only 31 years remained until the Dark Ancient Tower reopened.

On this particular day.

Above the Flower Hall, wind and clouds surged, and the elemental power within a radius of over twenty miles churned like tides, flooding into the hall.

Feeling this surge of energy,

the Divine Light Knight immediately notified the commander.

Her face lit up with joy.

“Judging by this momentum, the Flower Knight’s promotion to the seventh-circle appears to have succeeded.”

Within the void above.

Levi’s figure appeared.
