In front of the mirror, Levi opened his mouth, and then a chilling scene unfolded.

Suddenly, Levi's seemingly ordinary tongue began to fork and extend, stretching out a full foot into his mouth. It coiled and meandered in mid-air like a tentacle.

His tongue had turned into something resembling a snake's forked tongue.

Then, with a thought, his tongue began to shorten and retract, transforming back into something resembling a normal person's tongue, and returned to Levi's mouth.

That's right, this is the Extraordinary Organ that Levi developed after advancing to the Legendary Realm level.

It wasn't the Black Scale he expected, but a place he hadn't anticipated.

His tongue had somehow transformed into a forked structure resembling a snake's forked tongue.

Of course, under normal circumstances, Levi's tongue looks no different from that of an ordinary person.

Otherwise, Levi felt this was too strange. If some wizards from the Monster Studies discovered him, they would definitely mistake him for a notorious Lizardmen and take him back for research.

Since the Extraordinary Organ Extraordinary Organ not appear on the Proficiency Panel, Levi did not know what to call it.

He named himself "The Black Serpent's Tongue".

After some initial research, Levi roughly understood some of the functions of this Extraordinary Organ.

That is ultra-wide range and ultra-high precision odor perception.

He is currently on the ninth floor of the Gray Tower.

You can clearly smell the stench of Leviathan's breath as he sleeps on the coast more than ten kilometers away.

He could sense the distinct aura of every apprentice in the entire Gray-White Tower —auras that ordinary people couldn't perceive or distinguish at all. But for Levi, these auras formed unique coordinates with crystal clarity.

These unique and different coordinates formed a huge circular map in Levi's mind, much like the "mini-map" in the upper right corner of some games.

Within the map, Levi can sense prey and targets through the dimension of smell.

These vital energies are stored in Levi's forked tongue, forming a vast reservoir of energy.

As long as something stored in the aura database appears within Levi's perception range, he can immediately sense it.

This Black Serpent's Tongue, combined with the Advanced Vibration Perception of the Human-Faced Spider Breathing Technique and the Advanced Hearing of the Night Owl Breathing Technique, all contribute to this.

This allowed Levi's perception to reach an extremely exaggerated level: extremely precise vibration perception, wide-ranging auditory perception, and an ultra-wide-ranging olfactory perception.

Levi's ability to detect information about his surroundings is probably unmatched even by Second-Ring Wizard.

At least as far as Levi knew, whether it was the reconnaissance spells in the magic tricks or the reconnaissance spells in the First Ring and Second Ring, they could achieve such multi-dimensional, multi-level, and wide-range perception and reconnaissance.

No! "Unexpectedly, the Legendary Realm organ that emerged after the Black Snake Breathing Technique Legendary Realm actually of a more auxiliary type."

Although it wasn't the combat-type Extraordinary Organ that Levi had envisioned, he wasn't disappointed at all.

After all, the rarity of Breathing Technique like those of the Human-Faced Spider and the Night Owl is a testament to this.

Perception attributes are actually the most difficult to obtain.

Moreover, after reaching the Eleventh Order of the Black Snake Breathing Technique, he already possessed Solid Black Scale, whose defensive power was in no way inferior to First Ring defensive spell, and even stronger than the Golden Guardian.

With such a defense, Levi was already invincible against an ordinary First-Circle Wizard.

It's important to know that Solid Black Scale have no limitations on casting speed or Art Power, just like Levi's innate abilities.

As long as Levi's Black Qi continues, it can be generated indefinitely.

This is the power of Breathing Technique.

The downside is that it's too slow to grind.

With the help of the Proficiency Panel and Secret Medicine, Levi has gradually reached where he is today, taking seventeen years.

It would be virtually impossible for anyone else to do that.

With a thought, Black Qi swirled around Levi, eventually condensing into solid Black Scale.

These Black Scale, layer upon layer, opened and closed continuously according to Levi's will, emitting a metallic clanging sound.

This is Solid Black Scale, and in appearance, it is no different from real snake scales.

Levi's body was covered in snake scales, and his forked tongue protruded from his mouth, which, combined with his tall and burly physique, exuded an aura of savagery and untamed nature.

"I feel so safe."

Levi stared at this sight, his forked tongue flicking out.

Then he withdrew his forked tongue and removed the Black Scale.

He has now advanced to the rank of Legendary Knight, and it will take seven more days for the Dread Realm to open.

I need to do some preparatory work during this period.

Poisons, Holy Medicine, Blue Potion Red Potion, Sleepy Potion, the Four Great Seals and some Casting Material, Lion King's Pride, Frostmourne, etc.

There were many things to prepare. Because Levi had obtained the Wind Spirit Ring, his Gluttony Pouch, which had been with him for a long time, had been left to gather dust at home. However, Levi still prepared a large amount of blood food for this guy.

Having used it for so long, I've grown attached to it. Even though the version of the Gluttony Pouch is old and there's a risk of losing items, Levi can't bear to throw it away.

It has to be said that the Wind Spirit Ring is a really good thing; not to mention its large storage space.

That First-Circle Spell not only allows for flight but also provides protection.

Levi conducted experiments and found that the defense was very strong, enough to withstand two Leviathan's Dragon King Breath.

In terms of flight speed, it is twice as fast as its current Blood Wing Burst form.

Overall, it's still quite practical.

This should be Levi's best magical artifact to date.

In terms of value, even the Equivalent Exchange Pot can't compare to this ring. After all, Levi has almost plundered all the good stuff in that pot, and the old antique Tutan just sleeps in it all day.

Among the First Ring magical artifacts, the Wind Spirit Ring is definitely the most top-grade, and Levi estimates it to be worth over a thousand Great Stone.

Anyway, I wouldn't be willing to buy it myself.

Of course, with Levi's current mental strength Intermediate Wizard Apprentice, activating the Wind Spirit Protection within the Wind Spirit Ring is still somewhat of a challenge.

Levi currently has 8 points of mental strength and a maximum of 80 points of Art Power. This Wind Spirit Protection will consume a full 60 points of Art Power at once, which is more than twenty times the amount of Water Arrow Technique.

If it is a magical artifact with a solidified Second-Ring Spell, it consumes several hundred points of Art Power each time, and only Formal Wizard can barely activate it.

With the Wind Spirit Ring, Levi felt much more confident about his journey through the Dread Realm.

It's clear that the Tower Master went to great lengths to ensure that Levi could obtain the Stone Heart.

Or perhaps, the tower master was fighting a desperate battle.

Therefore, he entrusted Levi with the magical artifacts of his beloved.

Levi naturally did not want to betray the tower master's trust.

If it is within his ability, he will do his best to help the Tower Master obtain the Stone Heart.

The stronger the tower master, the safer Levi will be to hide in this Gray-White Tower.

While Levi was preparing to enter the Dread Realm.

Other wizarding organizations qualified to enter the Dread Realm are also making similar preparations.

On Whale Song Lonely Island.

A black-robed wizard with a full head of white hair, his sunken, aged eyes revealing an incredibly wise gaze.

This is Morpheus, the island lord of Whale Song Lonely Island, the Whale Song Sage, Third-Ring Wizard. He is the most powerful wizard in this sea area, without exception.

As a mid-level wizard of the Oceanic School, Morpheus was naturally full of confidence for this journey into the Dread Realm.

Whale Song Lonely Island now teeming with talented individuals.

For this trip, Whale Song Lonely Island dispatched a senior First-Circle Wizard, the Shark-Tiger Witch Bain.

Bain was apprenticed to Morpheus and currently possesses seven First-Circle Spell.

It's worth noting that mastering five First-Circle Spell is enough to be considered a seasoned First Ring master, Bain mastered a full seven, demonstrating his formidable strength.

The five apprentices he led this time were all the best among the Wizard Apprentice on Whale Song Lonely Island.

Four of them were High-Grade Wizard Apprentice. Each of these High-Grade Wizard Apprentice had mastered at least eight spells and was extremely powerful. The only Intermediate Wizard Apprentice Gaglie, a dual-elemental genius who had joined Whale Song Lonely Island a few years ago.

Gaglie was Intermediate Wizard Apprentice had mastered five tricks, but his strength was definitely inferior to that of his four senior brothers.

However, Morpheus intended to train Gaglie, so he wanted Gaglie to take this opportunity to learn properly. In any case, with the luxurious lineup of Whale Song Lonely Island, the probability of encountering dangers outside the controllable range during this adventure in the Dread Realm was not high.

"Let's set off once we're ready. Let's leave early, just in case," Morpheus said calmly.

"Yes, Lord Morpheus, we will certainly return with a full load." Bain finished speaking and then led the group of Wizard Apprentice away.

Standing next to Morpheus was a Second-Ring Wizard, Angus, Second-Ring Potion Maker from Whale Song Lonely Island.

He is also the branch president of the Potion Makers' Association in this sea area.

The two high-ranking officials of Whale Song Lonely Island watched the exploration team ride away on sea beasts.

"Island Master, according to the intelligence we received from Harant, Herman of the Gray-White Tower has greatly increased in strength. If he advances to the Third Ring, it will be detrimental to our future plans."

"I know, so this Dread Realm, regardless of whether we gain anything or not, we must not let the people of the Gray-White Tower gain anything. Moreover, Harant will also send people to infiltrate the Dread Realm. At that time, we will join forces with the Ship of the Undead to directly kill the wizards and Wizard Apprentice who have entered the Gray-White Tower, and then search for resources inside."

Morpheus said calmly.

"Aren't there law enforcers from the Tower of Stars overseeing this? How could the Ship of the Undead possibly sneak in?" Angus asked.

"I've already taken care of everything, so there's no problem at all," Morpheus with a confident expression.

Whale Song Lonely Island's foundation is too strong; it's something other forces can't even imagine.

If it weren't for the high cost of joining the Black Wizard Organization for Morpheus at this point, he would have long ago wanted to wipe out all the other organizations and unify this sea area.

Seeing the island owner's confidence, Angus was no longer worried.

However, he had some unease and concerns, feeling that this operation would not go so smoothly.

And on the Sighing Sea Island.

The Second-Ring Wizard, Sage Mason, dressed in a green robe, Sighing Sea Breeze and the entire team for this exploration of the Dread Realm was ready.

The lineup for Sighing Sea Breeze is also quite impressive.

The team was led by a Senior First Ring Wizard Dao Kete, and consisted of five Wizard Apprentice, four of whom were also High-Grade Wizard Apprentice.

The only one who wasn't High-Grade Wizard Apprentice was that three-meter-tall giant.

It was Mu Di, the Empire's Fist. Now, so many years have passed, and the Empire's Fist has barely advanced to the level of Intermediate Wizard Apprentice. For him, who has been practicing Meditation Technique for more than ten years, this speed can only be described as very slow, but this is the normal cultivation speed of the Child of Chaos.

Although the wizards' level was average, the Sage Mason still allowed the Empire's Fist to participate in this operation because of Empire's Fist powerful Knight strength.

In fact, the Empire's Fist is the true trump card hidden in Sighing Sea Breeze's operation.

Not long after becoming Intermediate Wizard Apprentice, Empire's Fist successfully entered the supreme realm of Legendary Knight. His strength was no less than that of an ordinary First-Circle Wizard.

The Sighing Sea Breeze has not publicized it is so that in some important events in the future, the hidden trump card of Empire's Fist can play a surprise role.

"Dao Kete, I owe Herman a favor. In this operation, within your capabilities, please help the people from the Gray-White Tower. They don't seem to have Formal Wizard leading the team, so it's unlikely they'll gain much in the Dread Realm. Your primary task is to acquire more resources. You only need to intervene once when those apprentices from the Gray-White Tower face a life-or-death crisis."

As for Mu Di, try to avoid taking action in the early stages. I'll have Dao Kete and his men protect you. I hope your operation will be very successful.

"Sage Mason said."

"Okay, Mr. Mason."

After saying goodbye, Dao Kete, Empire's Fist, and Sage Mason also left the Sighing Sea Island.

In the past few days, other Second-Ring Wizard organizations such as the Gloomy Sea Cave and the Lost Ancient City, as well as some First-Circle Wizard organizations, or wizards who live alone on islands with only a few Wizard Apprentice under their command, have all headed to the entrance of the Dread Realm.

Each exploration of the Dread Realm is a grand feast where various forces gather. The bizarre and Dread Realm seems to have endless allure, drawing wizards from all directions.

After making his preparations, Levi set off alone, riding the Dragon King Whale towards the entrance.

The Dragon King Whale is much faster than the Azure Boat.

So when Levi arrived at the entrance sea area, he discovered that he was actually among the first to arrive.

In the center of the sea ahead, a thick, inky black mist swirled and twisted.

"Is this the point where the Black Mist Realm and the Azure Realm meet?" Levi stood on the back of the Dragon King Whale, his expression calm.

This scene reminded Levi of the place where the Blue Frost Plane and the Mortal World intersected in the multiverse, where an eerie blue light also permeated the air.

Levi recuperated on Leviathan, and he arrived here alone, representing the Gray-White Tower, which greatly surprised the other organizations.

While Levi was waiting, the people from Whale Song Lonely Island also arrived.

They arrived at this place riding on a Blue-Patterned Whale, a sea beast at the level of a High-Grade Wizard Apprentice.

But the Blue-Patterned Whale seemed uneasy at that moment.

This is a sea beast tamed by a Spiritism School wizard on Whale Song Lonely Island.

Bain's expression hardened. If this was the case, it meant that there was a superior superhuman creature nearby that even the Blue-Patterned Whale feared.

Sure enough, he soon noticed it in an inconspicuous corner.

A Dragon King Whale, with its menacing back and terrifying presence, floats leisurely on the sea.

On its back was a tall, imposing Gray-Robed Wizard carrying two swords, his robes embroidered with moon patterns.

Levi accompanied Mai Lin to Whale Song Lonely Island, Bain knew Levi.

He looked around and found that apart from Levi, there were no other Wizard Apprentice from the Gray-White Tower.

"What's going on? Has the Gray-White Tower given up on this exploration? Are they just going to throw caution to the wind?" Bain asked, puzzled.

He didn't understand why only one person came to the Gray-White Tower.

Although this Levi is a Legendary Knight according to intelligence, it's naive of a Knight to think he can contend with a Formal Wizard and five Wizard Apprentice from another organization! Something's fishy about this! So Bain was extra cautious. "After we go in, let's find a place to deal with that Legendary Knight from the Gray-White Tower first."

He spoke to the five Wizard Apprentice.

This Levi is no ordinary man; he can tame Dragon King Whale, so he's quite capable. Therefore, Bain will not underestimate Levi and must go all out.

Upon hearing the telepathic message, the other four High-Grade Wizard Apprentice all nodded slightly.

Gaglie hesitated, but ultimately said nothing.

As an apprentice on Whale Song Lonely Island, he was powerless to make any changes and could only unconditionally obey the organization's orders.

Dragon King Whale.

Levi's expression remained unchanged, but inwardly he was sneering.

"Luckily, I have Spider Sense. Sure enough, those people from Whale Song Lonely Island actually tried to harm me!"

"Looking back now, the news that Teacher Mai Lin successfully refined the Second Ring potion, Eye Demon Gaze, was definitely leaked by Whale Song Lonely Island. Their purpose was to use someone else to do their dirty work! It's just that the killing intent of those people wasn't so obvious last time, so I didn't sense it."

"Very well, since you want to harm me, I can't just sit here and wait to die. I'll just settle things with you in this Dread Realm. My Holy Armor Scorpion hasn't eaten a person in a long time and is itching for a fight."

Levi's heart was filled with murderous intent.

He was already plotting how to deal with these people in the Dread Realm.

Of the six people on Whale Song Lonely Island, only Gaglie was basically not hostile towards him.

However, since the two sides are on different sides, Levi will not be merciful.

A day later, the person Sighing Sea Breeze also arrived.

The three-meter-tall Empire's Fist stood out among these people, and Levi noticed it at a glance.

The Empire's Fist also spotted Levi on the Whale Back immediately.

As Legendary Knight, he naturally knew that Levi was the Legendary Knight had recently become somewhat famous in the Gray-White Tower.

Now that they meet again, it is indeed true that this aura belongs to Legendary Knight.

His fighting spirit surged, and he longed to have a real, hand-to-hand fight with Levi. Levi was the only Legendary Knight he had ever met. Although Mu Di and Levi had no interaction, there was a sense of mutual respect between them.

In this world where wizards are revered, Legendary Knight are extremely rare, and it's truly not easy to encounter someone like them.

"I am the wizard Dao Kete, the Sighing Sea Breeze. If you encounter any danger inside, Lord Levi, you can come to me. I will do my best to help you resolve it," Dao Kete transmitted to Levi.

Levi looked at Dao Kete, smiled slightly, and expressed his gratitude.

Soon, the final step of the convergence between the Black Mist Realm and the Azure Realm was completed.

An entrance emitting an eerie red light slowly formed within the black mist; nothing could be seen inside.

Just then, a Second-Ring Wizard dressed in Starry Robe suddenly appeared above everyone. Beneath him, Endless Sea converged into a waterspout, lifting him into the air. He was like Sea God descending to earth, looking down at the exploration team below.

"According to calculations, this convergence of the Black Mist Realm and the Azure Realm will last for seven days. This means you only have seven days to explore the Black Mist Realm Black Mist Realm. On the seventh day, everyone must gather at the entrance coordinates to the Black Mist Realm and then leave. Otherwise, you will be permanently trapped there until the next convergence of the Black Mist Realm Black Mist Realm and the Azure Realm. I think most of you won't live to see that day."

According to the "Weird Realm Act," only members of the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council and legitimate organizations are qualified to explore Dread Realm. If any Black Wizard or Black Wizard Organization attempt to sneak in, I advise you to give up. Once I discover you, I will kill you without hesitation.

Finally, in this Dread Realm, we hope everyone can join hands and cooperate to achieve a win-win situation. The Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council does not encourage malicious killing and competition among wizards.

However, if your life is lost forever in the Dread Realm for any reason, the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council will not take any responsibility for it, nor will it initiate any investigation or accountability procedures.

All responsibility and consequences shall be borne by the explorer. Please think carefully before you enter.

Next, I will announce the list of organizations or wizards qualified to join. Those not on the list, please leave on your own.

The law enforcement officer had a dignified voice and a powerful presence.

He began calling out the list of those who were eligible to enter.

The summoned wizarding organizations, led by their respective wizards, entered the black hole emitting a red glow.

Levi looked at the people entering; the words of the law enforcer were quite clear.

Once you enter this Dread Realm, life or death is irrelevant! Even if you die, the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council will not investigate the cause of death.

Therefore, the greatest danger in this exploration of the Dread Realm may not be the Dread Realm itself, but the competing explorers present! For Levi, the main danger is the group from Whale Song Lonely Island.

If given the chance, he must strike first.

His Black Serpent's Tongue had already collected the aura factors of everyone present.

Levi has stored the auras of all these people in his aura database. As long as they enter his perception range, Levi will immediately detect them.

When the time comes, if the people of Whale Song Lonely Island are scattered or encounter some crisis, Levi will not hesitate to kick them while they're down.

"The Gray-White Tower, Levi." The enforcer frowned slightly, called out to Levi, and then asked, "You're the only one from the Gray-White Tower who came?"

"Yes, Wizard." Levi smiled politely.

"Go in." The law enforcement officer said nothing and let Levi in.

Levi smiled as he faced the entrance to the black hole.

Beneath his robes, Solid Black Scale had spread all over his body.

He had also prepared Golden Guardian in his hands.

If someone attacks him once he enters, he will activate the Rune Seal.

Taking a deep breath, Levi stepped inside and disappeared.

He felt a sudden dizziness.

When he reappeared, he was already shrouded in a gray mist.

This is why this Dread Realm is called the Realm of the Black Mist Realm.

This Dread Realm is shrouded in mist.

The edge areas are shrouded in gray fog. As you go further in, the fog becomes darker and darker, making it impossible to see your hand in front of your face.

Levi's Advanced Vibration Perception is fully activated, as is his Advanced Hearing.

Everything around him was within his perception.

Within his perception range, those who had just entered the Black Mist Realm were rapidly dispersing in all directions, searching for their own targets.

Levi looked at the cave entrance behind him, marked its coordinates, and then quickly left.

This is clearly not a safe place. Once the group from Whale Song Lonely Island comes in, they might immediately join forces to kill me.

The wizard leading the group on Whale Song Lonely Island was clearly a seasoned First-Circle Wizard, and confronting him head-on would be a very unwise choice.

Within this Black Mist Realm, everything is shrouded in darkness, severely limiting the visual perception of most ordinary wizards. Levi, however, thrives thanks to his various sensory abilities. Therefore, he intends to exploit this advantage to launch a surprise attack.

Not long after Levi left, the man Sighing Sea Breeze also entered.

With a solemn expression, the Empire's Fist left the place under the leadership of Dao Kete.

More and more people entered the Dread Realm, and in the end, the people from Whale Song Lonely Island were the last to enter.

Bain remained calm, then suddenly emitted a sound wave like a whale's song, which traveled through the mist, spreading out in concentric ripples.

"Damn it, that Levi is fast. He's already out of the range of my Whale Song Technique's perception." Bain's expression changed, and he couldn't help but curse.

"Teacher, why don't we explore inside first? This Dread Realm isn't that big anyway, and the real treasures are all in the inner area. We're sure we'll run into that kid again then," said a High-Grade Wizard Apprentice.

His name is De Li, and he has mastered eight magic tricks, making him incredibly powerful.

"You're right. Then you can lie in ambush here. I'll give you a Shape Shift Scroll, a precious Second Ring item bestowed upon me by Lord Morpheus. Once Levi returns to this side of the exit, use this scroll to switch places with me, and I will kill Levi with lightning speed," Bain said.

"Ah... Am I supposed to stay here?" De Li clearly hadn't expected this.

"That's right, the border region is safe, you don't need to worry too much. And you don't need to fight that Levi; he's Legendary Knight after all, you're probably no match for him. You just need to tear open this scroll when you see Levi. I'll make a move then, and with your strength, you should be able to hold out against the Legendary Knight for a while," Bain said.

"Okay." De Li didn't want to stay here.

However, he dared not refuse the request of Formal Wizard.

Finally, Bain, along with his four other apprentices, left the area and headed straight for the inner region.

There's basically nothing good in the outskirts; anything that's been taken by previous explorers, so he won't waste his time there.

Moreover, the people from the Ship of the Undead have also infiltrated this place, and he needs to reunite with Ship of the Undead. This time, the goal is not only to weaken the strength of the Gray-White Tower.

If possible, forces that could negatively impact the Whale Song Lonely Island plan, such as the Sighing Sea Breeze, should be weakened as much as possible within the Dread Realm.

After all, here, even if someone kills another person, the Pan-dimensional world Wizard won't hold them accountable.

In order to acquire more resources, Great Wizard organizations send their most elite First-Circle Wizard and Wizard Apprentice.

If we leave all these people in this Dread Realm...

That was undoubtedly a heavy blow to these wizarding organizations.

Shortly after Bain left.

It is located about ten kilometers from the entrance.

Levi's figure was hidden inside a hollow of a large tree in the gray mist.

Bain's First Ring scouting spell, Whale Song Technique, clearly has a much smaller scouting range than Levi's Black Serpent's Tongue.

He didn't sense at all that Levi was actually still near the entrance.

Levi emerged from the tree hollow, unleashing a chilling Black Serpent's Tongue, and waited patiently until Bain and the others were completely out of his perception range.

However, one High-Grade Wizard Apprentice remained at the entrance of Whale Song Lonely Island.

Levi knew with his toes that this was definitely Whale Song Lonely Island's people lying in ambush on him, but he didn't know what kind of trump cards they had up their sleeves.

Levi waited for some more time.

The High-Grade Wizard Apprentice was still at the entrance, showing no sign of leaving.

"Heh, interesting. Was I the one lying in ambush?" Levi thought to himself.

"Unfortunately, you have nowhere to hide before my Black Serpent's Tongue. It's time for the roles of hunter and prey to be reversed."

Levi moved swiftly and disappeared from the scene.

He didn't rush to the inner area. Without resolving the hidden danger of Whale Song Lonely Island, he didn't dare to go inside to search for the Stone Heart.

So, for the next few days, he was going to play a cat-and-mouse game with the other party.

There are hardly any people at the entrance now.

Most people have already gone to the inner area.

Only a few weak, timid, or opportunistic individuals linger and search at the edge of this entrance.

With the Black Serpent's Tongue and extraordinary perception, Levi avoided these people, keeping his sights firmly on one target.

That was the Wizard Apprentice from Whale Song Lonely Island.

With his current strength, if he went all out, he could easily kill a High-Grade Wizard Apprentice.

Soon, Levi returned to the area.

He looked up at the foggy sky. The sun was shining brightly, but because of the gray fog, there was no warmth.

"The Night's Favored is only effective at night, but killing a Wizard Apprentice does not require the use of the Night's Favored."

Levi moved stealthily, possessing a small map in his mind.

The High-Grade Wizard Apprentice was standing motionless in one spot.

Levi sneered as he drew closer to the other person.

Until this High-Grade Wizard Apprentice was about half a mile away from Levi.

Levi stopped in his tracks, Black Qi condensing into a black blade in his hand. Although the gray mist prevented Levi from seeing the High-Grade Wizard Apprentice, with the Black Serpent's Tongue and his Advanced Hearing, Levi had already pinpointed the opponent's location.

There are no obstacles between him and the other person now, and the other person cannot see him.

De Li hid in a thicket of bushes not far from the entrance; he was alone there and a little scared.

Therefore, he remained fully alert, clutching the Casting Material for protective spells and his wand in his hand, ready to cast spells at any moment.

Suddenly, a whooshing sound came from the air.

In the blink of an eye, the black blade struck.

With Levi's current Black Demon Blade, the Black Qi can travel more than two hundred meters away from his body.

At the same time, Levi's Seed of Blood Beast erupted, its Blood Wing carrying crimson energy, following closely behind the black blade.

De Li immediately waved his wand and cast a protective spell, enveloping De Li in water and protecting him.

Pfft

The Black Qi plunged into the water, where its power was neutralized.

Without hesitation, De Li was about to use the Shape Shift Scroll.

Although he hadn't seen the enemy yet, there was no doubt that the one who had ambushed him was the Legendary Knight of the Gray-White Tower.

Unfortunately, it was too late; he had underestimated Levi's speed!

After Levi's Blood Beast Burst, his speed was not much slower than that of the Black Qi Condensing Blade. He appeared directly a dozen meters in front of De Li, and the Black Qi formed a long whip in Levi's hand, which he then lashed out through the air.

He knocked the scroll out of De Li's hand.

Then the whip curled back and wrapped around De Li.

He was brought before Levi, Levi entire body, including his face, was covered in Black Scale, and whose mouth was constantly spitting out a ferocious and eerie snake tongue.

"Lizardmen... a monster? You're a monster!"

This isn't Knight; this is clearly a monster.

De Li, who knew little about the Knight, was terrified.

If it weren't for the moon-patterned gray robe covering Levi's body, he would have thought it was a monster from the Dread Realm, not Levi.

Click, click.

Levi broke off De Li's hands, which were trying to cast a spell.

Click, click.

He then broke De Li's legs.

Then Levi grabbed De Li by the neck.

Lift him high in the air.

Levi held the Shape Shift Scroll in his hand.

He spoke coldly, his voice chilling. "If you want to live, you'll answer whatever I ask next."

De Li was held firmly by Levi, and his will to survive made him nod in agreement without thinking.

"Why did Whale Song Lonely Island want to harm me?" Levi asked.

De Li's expression changed in surprise. Apart from the higher-ups, only a few people on Whale Song Lonely Island knew about this. How did Levi know? Could there be a mole inside?

It seems the truth has been revealed.

Perhaps Levi and the Gray-White Tower were already prepared.

No wonder the Gray-White Tower only sent Levi.

"Because this is an order from Lord Morpheus, the island lord, and I don't know why Lord Morpheus did this," De Li said.

"Alright, let me ask you again: including yourself, what is the strength of the people from Whale Song Lonely Island who entered the Dread Realm this time, and what spells do they possess?"

Levi continued to ask questions. De Li's life was now in Levi's hands, and for that slim chance of survival, he was utterly forthcoming with everything he knew. He completely lacked the backbone of the Great Knight Levi had encountered in the Mortal World.

In the end, after asking all the questions he wanted to know, Levi did not kill De Li, but kept his promise and let De Li live.

He merely severed De Li's limbs, leaving only his torso, and then bandaged his wounds. He then used the Dragon Might Seal to destroy De Li's mind and spirit, crippling his spellcasting abilities, and finally administered a slow-acting poison, which would allow De Li to die slowly over the next few days.

Levi did this primarily because he knew that the Formal Wizard possessed an artifact capable of sensing the life and death of apprentices. If he learned of De Li's death, he might become alert, which would be detrimental to his actions.

After doing all this, Levi picked up De Li's Storage Tool and wand, as well as the Shape Shift Scroll that looked very precious, and left.

Today's update is 9000 words, plus an extra 3000 words. There are still 7000 words to go. Since I only checked the manuscript once, please point out any typos or errors in the comments section, and I will revise it later.
