Chapter 1564: 0368 Gandaph arrives in Midland, Lucy of the Endless Sea presents a gift! (Big Chapter asking for monthly tickets and subscriptions)_5
Anyaās heart jolted in surprise. Indeed, Levi was still the same Levi, effortlessly cracking her second-strongest move.
She immediately got serious. As she soared into the air, her spell power surged like towering waves.
Within the surrounding area, a dark defensive field enveloped Levi.
"Levi, watch out!"
With a wave of her hand,
tens of thousands of three-foot-long Elemental Sword Energies emerged within the dark Sword Realm, crisscrossing in every direction.
Levi let out a laugh of admiration,
"Not a bad spell."
In his hand, an unremarkable black staff appeared. His armās veins bulged as Strength spilled out, flowing into it.
The staff spun into a full moon, and the forceful wind deflected and crushed all the Elemental Sword Energies.
The sound of "crackle and pop" was incessant.
Anya struggled to maintain the Sword Realm, yet she saw Levi, like a giant dragon, tearing through her Domain. In an instant, he stood before her.
"Youāve lost, Anya. Itās very dangerous to let a body-refining wizard get so close."
Levi patted Anya on the shoulder, turned around gracefully, and walked away, while she stood there, still in a daze.
A moment later, Anya gathered her spirits and quietly left the training ground.
"No wonder my mother is always stingy with her praise for my achievements... With Leviās stupendous abilities before me, my progress hardly seems worth mentioning."
The Snow Lotus Witch gazed at Leviās retreating figure, her heart and mind deeply shaken.
"So strong... Not only in body refinement, but his spells are exceptional."
She wasnāt the sort of person to constantly boast about her own genius, but as a top-level prodigy, she certainly had her pride.
But compared with him, she couldnāt help feeling a strange sense of insignificance.
...
In the small cottage,
Triss wore a loose homely garment and her wavy hair draped over her scented shoulders, revealing her pale collarbones, as she looked at Levi in front of her and joked,
"Gandaph, youāre bullying my son again."
Levi said,
"Madam, please donāt joke. Iām here to submit my homework from the previous assignment."
The lady took Leviās research results and scrutinized them carefully, nodding occasionally. After reading, she teased with a playful smile,
"Well done, truly worthy of being Gandaph."
Leviās face was filled with dark lines. This joke wasnāt going to die, was it?
Seeing Leviās awkwardness, Triss ceased her jesting and said seriously,
"The reason Iāve called you here is to introduce you to a very important figure."
Leviās interest was piqued and he asked,
"Who might this important figure be?"
Triss replied,
"The President of the Endless Sea Pharmacist Association, a ninth-circle Grand Wizard who also practices as a pharmacist, Aaron Blaivens, his title is āBlack Abyss Walkerā..."
Levi couldnāt help but reveal a hint of shock, saying,
"A Grand Wizard? Madam, youāre not joking, are you?"
This was a figure second only to the eleven Legendary Wizards, a being standing at the pinnacle of civilization.
Triss said,
"No, oh, I forgot to tell you, the Black Abyss Walker is also my mentor. Iām the second-to-last student he took on... um, it seems Iām also the weakest among his existing students."
She covered her forehead, slightly embarrassed.
Levi pondered for a moment.
A powerful figure like a Grand Wizard had means beyond his imagination. He feared that if he revealed any clues, the Grand Wizard might expose the Dragon Abominationās disguise, a consequence unthinkable.
Seeing Leviās hesitation, Triss comforted him,
"In fact, it wasnāt my idea to bring you to him; he has already taken notice of you... If you are worried about his character, you need not, Iāll say one thing, he is a student of the Deep Blue Sage. The character of the Deep Blue Sage is acknowledged by all, would his discernment be poor?"
Levi hesitated for a moment before saying,
"Madam, please allow me to consider it. Meeting such a prestigious person, I canāt help but feel nervous."
Triss replied,
"Thatās understandable. I was much like you when I first met my mentor. However, I can introduce you to the new student he has recently taken on, who is also my junior. Sheās a seven-circle wizard, much stronger than me."
After some thought, Levi said,
"Okay."
Getting to know about this impressive personās student might be insightful, a sideways investigation into his character.
Actually, Levi knew that having been noticed by the Black Abyss Walker, it made no difference whether he met him or not.
He simply wasnāt at the same level as the Black Abyss Walker. Any planning or caution had lost its significance.
"We should not delay any further. Letās set off."
Triss took hold of Levi, leading him onto her pink airship, which turned into a beam of light and vanished from the Witchās Family home.
On the airship,
Levi asked,
"Madam, how should I address your junior sister?"
Triss answered,
"Her name is Lucy, her title is āFish of the North Sea.ā Sheās a wizard who has risen to prominence in recent years, said to be a survivor of the Great Expedition."
Levi murmured,
"Lucy... By the way, Madam, is it true that the Deep Blue Sage has fallen? Despite the methods of a legendary wizard, couldnāt he change his fate?"
Triss sighed and said,
"Even Gods fall, let alone mortals. According to the testimonies of the survivors of the Great Expedition, in the Land of Darkness, they encountered a terrifying alien race known as the āDark Insects.ā To protect them, and to save the Wizard World, the Deep Blue Sage ventured alone into the Abyssal Plane. They hid within the Deep Blue Demiplane until it collapsed, and then, out of nowhere, they appeared inside the ancient tower... All of this must have been the aftermath of the Deep Blue Sageās final moments."
It was evident that the wizards of the Endless Sea held the Deep Blue Sage in extraordinary respect.
Levi was deeply shaken.
"To think that such a horrifying alien race exists, powerful enough to cause the downfall of a Legendary Wizard."
