Chapter 2011: 0440 Golden Brilliance Breakthrough, Witch Mark Perfection! (Large Chapter seeking monthly tickets and subscriptions)_5
There was no choiceâLeviâs wizard realm was vastly inferior compared to that of the Plunderer.
This opponent was even harder to deal with than the Snow Mountain Dragon King.
The Emperor, wielding the Chaos Shield and the Emperor Dragon Path, managed to pin down the ferocious Plunderer.
Levi seized this opportunity to charge up the Doomsday Fist again.
"Sky Peng Dao!"
His figure soared like a Roc, riding the wind, ascending ninety thousand miles into the heavens, vanishing from sight!
In the void, Levi activated the Red Emperor Domain, the Strength Rune, Holy Image Law, Falling Star Ring, and other enhancements!
Buzz!
When he reappeared, Levi had already blinked to the Plundererâs armored yet relatively vulnerable abdomen.
"Upper Hook Sky-splitting Fist!"
Levi unleashed a punch, the force of his energy creating white waves like a raging river, a thousand troops galloping in unison!
On his gauntlet.
Two wind-element energy cores instantly dimmed.
Boom!
A heaven-shaking punch!
It tore open the Plundererâs belly, propelling its massive form into the high heavens with Leviâs strike.
The Qi radiating from his blow ripped through the crimson-black firmament of the Nightmare World.
But it wasnât over yet.
Levi swiftly installed two new wind-element energy cores.
As if embodying the Sky Roc once more, he vanished again before the Plundererâs eyes.
The Plunderer hadnât yet reacted when Levi reappeared above it.
"Heaven and Earth Destruction Fist!"
The ultimate Profound Meaning of the Iron Fist Clan was unleashed by Levi.
The four artificial wind-element energy cores disintegrated in an instant, reduced to dust.
Surging, overwhelming power infused his gauntlet.
Levi descended from the heavens, his fist crushing down on the Plundererâs head!
The Plunderer raised its forelimbs to block.
Crack.
Its pair of forelimbs were utterly shattered and fell away.
Moments later, the countless gaunt faces on its body were obliterated like dead leaves swept away by a roaring tempest.
Boom!
The Plundererâs body plummeted like a cannonball to the Earth, the resulting shockwave lifting dust clouds that covered a hundred-mile radius and surged into the sky!
Levi immediately followed, pummeling the Plundererâs head with a barrage of ferocious punches, like Wu Song slaying the tiger.
Viscous fluids splattered as the Plundererâs imposing presence weakened with each blow.
Even headless, its body struggled to lift Levi mid-air.
The Emperorâs longsword descended!
It struck down the creature, slamming it into the ground!
The Emperor Dragon unfurled its wings, pressing the monstrosity into the Earthâthus, the brutal beatdown began.
Nobody could say how much time had passed.
The Plundererâs lethal aura finally dissipated completely.
Only a powerful true soul emerged, and Leon had to expend considerable effort to capture it.
"Not badâanother Level 6 Mid Stage shadow," Levi muttered, panting as he watched the Shadow Army slaughter their foes on a massive scale.
If it werenât for the Shadow Dragon Talents, no matter how strong he was, heâd never dare hold a territory on his own.
The feeling of being a one-man armyâhow intoxicating!
After gathering the spoils of war, Levi continued his killing spree.
The terrifying shockwaves of his battles could be felt by distant battle groups, leaving countless onlookers in awe.
"One punch to obliterate a Level 7 Mid Stage... Is this the commander?"
The Thousand Illusion Knight murmured.
The Plundererâs bladed forelimbs, capable of slicing through a Sixth-Circle Wizard in a single strike, had been broken by the commanderâs fists.
"The commander keeps advancing so far on the path of knightsâwe, as his subordinates, must work harder to catch up with his shadow."
After witnessing the commanderâs battles over the past year, the Thousand Illusion Knight felt enlightened.
She believed that she could reach Level 6 within a century.
And so, three more months passed.
One day, beyond the territory, the remaining swarms of locusts suddenly dropped dead from the skies.
"The one-year period has passed. All the locusts will perish like ephemeral mayflies, reduced to dust. What extraordinary creatures," someone remarked.
Even the Level 6 Plunderer had died in an instant.
It was hard to imagine a Level 6 being with only a year-long lifespan.
"This locust plague is likely tied to the Nightmare Worldâs self-regulating mechanisms."
All things in the world required balance.
Just as the Abyss harbored a powerful will that Levi couldnât yet comprehend, the Nightmare World was no different.
These wills could be the will of the world itself, or that of other mighty beings, or perhaps both.
In any case, to sustain its balance or drive its evolution, the Abyss waged ceaseless wars beyond its borders.
The Nightmare World was no different.
"For someone like me, at Level 7, these matters are too far away to grasp."
Having survived the locust plague, Levi breathed a sigh of relief. A full year of relentless, high-intensity battles was a true test of his willpower.
In Seven Sins City.
The pale-faced Flower Knight gazed at everyone else, equally exhausted but smiling in relief.
"Itâs over. Weâve won!"
"Hahaha! Victory is ours!"
"The millennia-long locust plague... was nothing after all!"
Flower Knight declared:
"Everyone, take turns resting and recovering, then quickly gather the spoils and account for both gains and losses."
For these foreign avatars descending upon this world, death was not the end.
But for the native Nightmare Creatures born in the territories, there was no coming back from death.
After this battle, everyone would undergo a major metamorphosis.
In terms of combat experience, techniques, and tempered willpower, they would make great strides.
This would be of immense benefit for the blood battles to come.
Time flew by.
A month later.
On the Ancient Dragon Continent.
At a conference summing up the locust plague, Levi listened to everyoneâs reports with a satisfied expression.
Aside from the Dreadtree Territory, the other sixteen territories had survived unscathed.
Although the Dreadtree Territory could be rebuilt in the future, it would require a long time.
In this battle, one-third of the Nightmare Creatures within the territories had been lostâan inevitability.
The forces of the foreigners alone could never have eradicated the entire locust horde.
