Evil Spirit!

The Realm of Frost.

Lake Baikal.

This is the largest lake in the Realm of Frost, although due to the perennial cold, a thick layer of ice always covers its surface.

The lake surface stretched as far as the eye could see, covered by an endless ice field and a blizzard that seemed to reach the sky. Five-colored Rosy Light spread across the horizon, resembling the aurora borealis in the Arctic.

A group of wizards, dressed in frost-white robes that blended seamlessly with the ice, were now traveling alone across the plains.

Among the group was a tall, slender witch who carried the heavy spear "Eternal Night" on her back and held the hand of a little girl who only reached Elsa's chest.

"Sister Elsa, why do you always carry this spear?"

The little girl was a Wizard Apprentice, and she asked curiously.

"Because I was once a Knight," Elsa said softly.

"Knight? What's that?" the little girl asked.

"It's... a kind of faith, I suppose," Elsa said with a wry smile.

What else could it be?

Even Legendary Knight at the pinnacle of Knight couldn't secure a place for himself in the Wizard World, nor could he personally venture into the Polar Lair to kill the enemies who had murdered his master and senior sister.

"Wizards believe in truth, but what do Knight believe in? Gods?" the little girl asked.

"I don't know either... maybe." Elsa recalled the past. As the Ice Queen of the Eternal Night Kingdom, the so-called Daughter of God, she now seemed so ridiculous.

Ultimately, she was nothing more than a tool of the Church, never possessing the dignity of a queen.

She can't even see her own child.

"Okay, Elsa, you seem to have a lot on your mind." The little girl looked ahead and said with a hint of heartache.

"Mi Na, where are your family?" Elsa asked.

"I have no family. I was raised by the wizards of the Silver Fox Cabin. They said my parents were killed by Black Wizard after I was born, and I was found in the polar bear's den."

"Aren't you sad? Don't you miss them?"

"No way... After all, I've never even met them. I'm lucky enough to have been saved by wizards because of my wizarding talent. If it were an ordinary person without talent, a child like me would have frozen to death on the street long ago," Mi Na said.

Elsa remained silent, simply stroking Mi Na's head, her heart heavy with suppressed despair.

Countless children like Mi Na spent their lives in the flames of war from birth to death.

In this world where superhuman power reigns supreme, weakness is the greatest sin.

After leaving the White Bear Tower, Elsa wandered around for a long time, before she could join a new wizarding organization.

It was then learned that the Frost Realm had completely fallen.

The deputy tower master of the Winter Tower, a territory-wide management organization similar to the Tower of Stars, was an eighth-ring peak wizard who betrayed the organization, led the Black Wizard, and betrayed the tower master who was loyal to the Frost Witch. He then became the tower master and the Territory Administrator as he wished.

After he came to power, he carried out a large-scale massacre of those close to the Tower Master's faction, eliminating dissidents, and now he is suppressing the Frost Giant Resistance Army throughout the entire territory.

The Frost Giant Resistance Army is an underground resistance organization formed by the former White Wizards. They are constantly fighting against the current Black Wizard rulers and awaiting the Council's support.

The reason for using "Frost Giant" as a symbol is that the Legendary Realm witch who started her career in the Frost School and then went to the Central Realm is said to have the blood of Ancestor of Frost Giants Yggdrasil. Therefore, many of the spells and artifacts created by the Frost School like to use "Frost Giant" as a prefix.

"We're almost there. Everyone, keep your spirits up and hold on a little longer. The parliament's army will be here to support us soon."

The leading wizard said that he was the only Second-Ring Wizard in the group.

Everyone looked tired.

It was late at night, and the temperature had dropped even lower; water would freeze instantly, no exaggeration.

Suddenly, a cracking, tearing sound came from within the ice.

With a loud bang.

The ice, a full ten feet thick, suddenly wrinkled and cracked, producing a jarring and unpleasant sound.

Then, a gigantic, tusked beast, its entire body ice-blue and resembling a giant walrus, lunged forward with Blood Eye.

As the walrus cleaved through the ice, beams of light from various magic arrays simultaneously illuminated, forming a blizzard that instantly trapped the small team.

Second Ring Magic Array: Wind and Snow as Prison!

"Enemy attack!" the captain shouted.

"Too late." On the back of the giant walrus, two Second-Ring Wizard stood side by side, one manipulating a magic circle, the other already chanting a spell.

Elsa's expression changed, and she patted Mi Na, saying, "Run with me later, I'll find a way to break the magic circle."

She knew that, most likely, someone had betrayed them.

In short, this time, the odds are against us.

A terrifying spell descended from the sky, and the captain struggled to resist it.

The other teammates also used magic to fight back, while Elsa protected Mi Na and thought about how to break through.

The walrus rampaged through the group, occasionally attacking with ice- Spell-like Abilities abilities.

This is a second -Second Ring extraordinary creature with exceptional strength.

After analyzing the situation, Elsa killed several enemies and, taking advantage of the chaos, made her way to a corner of the magic circle.

"Frost Aurora Break!"

Ice runes shimmered on Elsa's body, the result of her years of learning the "Frost Body Refinement Art".

At the same time, the Aurora Bird Seed also ignited.

Accompanying this attack focused on a single point.

A hole was torn in the magic circle.

Elsa grabbed the little girl Mi Na and threw her out, then squeezed herself out before the opening closed.

Her protective spells were torn apart by just a slight graze from the wind and snow attack of the magic array; this was the power of Second Ring magic array.

"Let's go, Mi Na!"

Elsa picked up Mi Na and, using the speed advantage of the Aurora Breathing Technique, headed away into the distance.

The enemy came prepared and their strength was overwhelming. She couldn't die here. She still had grudges to settle and wanted to wait until she became stronger before going back to the Mortal World to see her daughter! "Someone escaped. I'll go after them! You can handle them by yourself, right?"

"No problem, but come back and support me quickly."

"Hmm, it's just chasing a small bug, it won't take long."

One of the two silver-haired male wizards from the second Second Ring sneered, and then he used his flying artifact to take off and quickly gave chase.

He was Second-Ring Wizard; the other party couldn't escape.

"Such speed, I can't even keep up..."

After a while, the Second-Ring Wizard was somewhat shocked. He was using his magical artifact to fly through the air, yet he couldn't catch up with a witch who was running on foot? This was unbelievable.

"Getting serious." He chanted an incantation, and then more Art Power surged into the artifact.

The next moment, the magical artifact transformed into a streak of light, carrying him and rapidly closing the distance between him and Elsa.

At the same time, he began chanting Second-Ring Spell, then gently pointed a finger.

A terrifying ice spear shot towards Elsa.

Elsa managed to dodge the Second-Ring Spell with all her might, but the next moment, another area-of-effect Second-Ring Spell struck, and a dense rain of ice rain fell.

Every attack was enough to hurt Elsa.

Mi Na tried her best to resist with her apprentice's magic tricks, but they were as fragile as paper and were broken in an instant.

Elsa's spear only managed to parry for a moment before she was sent flying.

The difference between the Second Ring and the First Ring is still quite significant.

She threw Mi Na out of attack range, Mi Na, understanding Elsa's meaning, quickly moved away.

Without Mi Na, Elsa focused all her efforts on fighting the enemy.

She was like a phantom, moving through the icy rain, graceful as a startled swan, agile as a swimming dragon!

"Aurora Bird Speed!" "Interesting, Body Refinement Wizard? Your body-refining technique is quite impressive." The silver-haired wizard temporarily halted his attack.

"Hand over the body-refining techniques, become my witch's servant, and sign a servant contract, and I may spare your life," the silver-haired male witch said condescendingly.

Elsa hesitated and struggled for a moment, then asked seriously, "If you can keep your promise, I can sign a servant contract."

Being a slave is better than being dead.

If you die, there is no hope for the future.

"As long as you're alive, anything is possible!" "That's right, I like someone like you who knows what's good for her." The silver-haired wizard drafted a contract and tossed the stone tablet to Elsa.

Elsa took a deep breath and was about to sign the contract when a loud voice rang out.

"We cannot sign."

A well-proportioned and muscular male wizard descended from the sky, smashing the ice surface and creating widespread cracks, sending ice shards flying. He stood up, clenching his fist, which cracked loudly.

Elsa was taken aback. Judging from the fluctuations in mental energy, he had only just entered the level of Formal Wizard.

"Where did this greenhorn come from? First-Circle Wizard, trying to emulate others' heroism in rescuing damsels in distress, how laughable." The silver-haired wizard waved his hand, casting an Ice Arrow Technique towards the man.

The burly man raised his hand and grasped the ice arrow in his grasp.

With a creak.

The ice arrow shattered, turning into countless fragments.

At that moment, it seemed as if the blizzard had stopped.

Both Elsa and the silver-haired wizard were shocked.

"Crush the Ice Arrow Technique with bare hands? Heh, another Body Refinement Wizard. Since you're courting death, don't blame me for being impolite." The silver-haired wizard never expected that he, a dignified Second-Ring Wizard, would be looked down upon by a First Ring Body Refinement Wizard.

He immediately began chanting a new spell, and at that moment, the burly wizard stomped his foot, shattering the ice, and rose into the air.

His body began to grow rapidly, and his robes were stretched so taut that they looked like they were about to tear.

A golden, hazy light shone all around, like strands of golden down.

At the same time, golden power gathered in his palm.

"Ape King Qigong - City Destroyer!"

The silver-haired wizard didn't pay attention at first, until the Protective Force Field surrounding him was shattered by this palm strike.

He then realized the seriousness of the problem.

It was too late.

Pfft

The giant hand slammed into the silver-haired wizard's chest, sending him flying like a kite with a broken string.

boom.

A burly wizard, over three meters tall and resembling a golden giant, followed closely behind and delivered a punch.

The silver-haired wizard immediately used magic to resist, narrowly avoiding the attack. The ice layer cracked and floated on the lake surface.

Elsa was even more shocked than him.

Because only Elsa knew that this was not some Body Refinement Wizard... but Legendary Knight just like herself.

How... how is this possible?

How could Legendary Knight possibly overpower a Second-Ring Wizard?

Could it be that this Legendary Wizard has switched to Body Refinement Wizard, just like her? Elsa was completely baffled.

"Sister Elsa, who is that? Why did he save us?" Sensing that something had changed, Mi Na, who had returned, suddenly asked.

Elsa shook her head; she was completely bewildered, as she had never met the other person before.

"Who... who exactly are you?" The silver-haired wizard dodged while preparing his spells. He had just been seriously injured, making it difficult for him to cast spells.

In truth, given his strength, he shouldn't have been in such a sorry state. He was overconfident and didn't expect that the enemy could actually shatter his Protective Force Field.

At this moment, Elsa immediately followed suit, giving the fallen dog a good beating.

She relied on her speed advantage to coordinate with the unfamiliar Legendary Knight.

She also noticed that although this Legendary Knight had unparalleled attack power, his speed was somewhat lacking, even weaker than her own maximum speed at full power.

Even Mi Na used the few tricks she knew to attack the silver-haired wizard.

Under the onslaught, the silver-haired wizard fled in panic.

"Ape King Qigong - Shoot the Moon!"

The burly male wizard was completely focused, and the Holy Ape seed within him roared, with endless Holy Ape power surging into his palm.

Boom! Accompanied by an earth-shattering blow.

The ice layer vibrated.

Afterwards, the silver-haired wizard lay on the ground, barely alive, in disbelief.

"What exactly defeated me..." He closed his eyes, dying with unresolved grievances.

A giant foot crushed him completely, his body torn to pieces.

The wizard skillfully picked up the Storage Bag and the magical artifacts that had fallen to the ground. He looked at the panting, sweat-drenched female Knight.

"You must be Goddess Knight Elsa..."

"How... how did you know you'd seen me before?"

"My name is Mu Di. I've never seen you before, but I know you."

"Mu Di... I think I've heard that name before. Is it Mu Di of the Tuva Empire? The Empire's Fist?"

"That's right, we shouldn't stay here any longer. Let's find a safe place to talk."

Soon, they escaped the place with Mi Na, Elsa, and Mu Di, and found a safe place.

On the other side, due to the absence of the silver-haired wizard, another Second-Ring Wizard, seeing that his teammate had not returned for a long time, temporarily retreated.

Inside a hidden ice cave.

"I didn't expect you to have also entered the Wizard World." Elsa was still in shock from the battle.

"I was also surprised to meet you here. I came with the Oceanic School to support the Cold School, but there was a slight accident during the teleportation and I got separated from my teammates. It is fate that we met. I wonder if I could take up some of your time to introduce you to an organization with infinite light and future?"

After Mu Di left the Yellow Earth Continent, he discovered a unique feature of his ancestral Breathing Technique during his trials.

That means it's more suitable to cultivate in battle, becoming stronger and braver with each battle. Only in this way can one cultivate faster.

Legend has it that the Holy Ape Holy Ape was a warlike and combative creature, and I must have inherited this trait from it.

Leader Levi always told him that cultivation should never involve fighting or killing; it is best to cultivate quietly, and safety should always be the top priority.

Unfortunately, this path is not suitable for Mu Di. He cannot become stronger by cultivating at home every day like the leader.

He must fight and battle in the vast world to become stronger!

He felt that the Holy Ape should be renamed "Fighting Holy Ape" for a more appropriate name.

Unfortunately, during the process of honing his skills in battle, he apparently accidentally killed a member of a Fifth Ring wizard family.

Heaven have mercy, he was forced into it; that kid provoked him first.

That kid, relying on his father being Third-Ring Wizard from a wizarding family, acted with impunity and bullied me.

Unable to bear it any longer, Mu Di smashed his head with a single punch.

Although he was only First-Circle Wizard, he was still a descendant of a wizarding family. Fearing retaliation from the wizarding family, Mu Di simply followed the army supporting the Frost School to the Realm of Frost, intending to hide there for a while and return after things calmed down.

He still has a tracking mark in his body, but it's clear that at this distance, and no longer in the same Land of the Faithless, the wizarding family will definitely have no way to track him down.

"Your Excellency Mu Di, what is that organization you're talking about?" Elsa asked curiously.

"Ms. Elsa, do you think that Legendary Realm is the end for Knight?" Mu Di didn't rush to answer, but instead asked in return.

"Yes...it has always been this way," Elsa said.

"If I told you that there's still a path to follow after the Legendary Realm, would you believe me?" Mu Di exuded an aura of confidence, Elsa stared blankly at this man. At this moment, he seemed so towering! "I certainly wouldn't have believed it before, but after seeing you, I think I do," Elsa said with a wry smile.

Mu Di nodded. "That's right, the path of Knight has no end. Legendary Knight is actually only the first step in Knight's extraordinary journey; there is a second step, a third step..."

Elsa listened attentively, and then couldn't help but exclaim, "Your Excellency is truly a divine being, able to break through the shackles of the Legendary Realm and create a new path for Knight."

Mu Di shook his head, gazing into the distance, and calmly said, "Madam, you are mistaken. I am only on the second step of the path of Knight. There is already someone ahead of us; he is our guide."

"What?" Elsa was shocked. Mu Di said completely overturned her understanding.

"Don't be too surprised. In this world, there are always some exceptionally talented people who are just too low-key and don't show off. Our organization is like that. If you are interested, we can sign a simple confidentiality agreement first, and I can continue to introduce you to the organization," Mu Di said inscrutably.

"Let me think..." Elsa calmed down and began to wonder if Mu Di was just trying to fool her.

Mu Di did not urge him, but instead appeared confident.

"Haha, the commander would never have imagined that I would encounter the Goddess Knight in the Realm of Frost. Our Twilight Knight Order finally have a woman!" Mu Di thought to himself with pride. He was unaware that the Divine Light Knight Denise had already joined the Mortal World.

After a moment, Elsa said, "I'm willing to sign the agreement."

Mu Di nodded and handed the agreement to Elsa to sign.

"Ms. Elsa, the organization I'm about to introduce to you will be a beacon for all Knight in the world. Its name is... the Twilight Knight Order. The vice-commander is the Legendary Realm Blood Knight, who was once famous and renowned, while the commander is a little-known figure who has already reached the Supreme Realm Knight..."

Who is it?

"Extremity Knight, Levi!"

The Endless Sea.

Nether King City.

There Is a Tavern.

Levi sat alone in a private room, drinking the alcohol he had brought with him.

Nameless Wine.

"Speaking of which, the grass on the Nameless Knight's grave should be taller than me by now. Of the seven Legendary Realm of the Shining Tavern, I've already won over the Blood Knight and the Black Knight."

The Nameless Knight, the Golden Knight, and the Lionheart Knight are confirmed dead.

I'm too low a level to romance the Hundred Flower Knight, so the only one left is the adventurous Snowflake Knight Freier.

He lived hundreds of years ago; he's most likely dead, unless he has a naturally Long-Lived Species bloodline or became a wizard.

Levi shook his head.

At that very moment.

The sounds of chatting and laughing could be heard outside the private room; it seemed that the Rose Witch had arrived with her friends.

Levi put away the Nameless Wine.

"Lord Levi Wei, you've arrived," the Rose Witch said with a smile, clearly in a good mood.

Behind her were two wizards. One was a male wizard wearing a blue robe with Golden Lightning patterns on it. Judging from his mental energy fluctuations, he was similar to the Old Golden Lion who had mastered two innate spells, and was very likely a senior wizard of the Third Ring.

This wizard was extremely handsome and had an elegant demeanor, befitting someone from a prominent family.

The other was a witch dressed in a white robe with daffodil patterns. The moment Levi saw this witch, he remembered that he had seen her before.

"That White Water Witch, she really didn't die."

Levi remembered that before the Ninth District fell, she and the Extreme Fire Ancestral Wizard were chased by the Black-Eyed Raven and disappeared without a trace.

It seems she ran back to the Starry Sea Area. Come to think of it, she is different from the Extreme Fire Ancestral Wizard. The Extreme Fire Ancestral Wizard was a rogue cultivator with no backing, but she did.

The White Water Witch had naturally met Levi before, but she hadn't greeted Levi. She had even wanted to invite Levi to join the Monsoon Tower, but unexpectedly, the Monsoon Tower was destroyed by the Black-Eyed Raven, and she herself almost perished there.

"Lord Levi, let me introduce you. This is the White Water Witch, one of the twenty-four maids of the Flower Witch, just like me. This gentlemanly wizard is Regorio Leitney, the pride of the Leitney Family and a Third Ring magic circle wizard. Of course, he is also the White Water Witch's partner."

After speaking, the White Water Witch smiled slightly, "Lord Levi Wei, we can be considered old acquaintances, although we haven't greeted each other before."

Levi smiled and said, "I had some urgent business at the time, I hope Lady White Water will understand."

Gregorio's expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal, coughed, and did not speak.

"Lord Gregorio, it's a pleasure to meet you. I hope our cooperation will go smoothly," Levi said amicably.

Gregorio nodded and smiled, saying, "With Lord Levi's participation, this exploration of the ancient ruins should be no problem." He looked at the White Water Witch and said jokingly, "I didn't expect you to know Lord Levi. Such a young and promising extraordinary biologist, and a Third Ring apothecary, must be from a powerful family. Why don't you introduce him to me? Haha."

"We've only met once, we didn't even greet each other, so how can I introduce you? Besides, Lord Levi isn't a member of the family," the White Water Witch said, rolling her eyes at Gregorio.

"Just kidding, let's get down to business. It's about the precautions for this exploration. Lord Levi must already have a basic understanding of that ancient wizarding ruins," Gregorio said, looking at the Rose Witch.

"That's right, I've already introduced him to Lord Levi."

"That's good. I wonder if Lord Levi Wei has any way to counter the Crimson Nether Sparrow's immortality?" Gregorio asked.

"I have a way to stop its regeneration, so you can rest assured," Levi said. He possessed the power of Death Ash and could suppress the Crimson Nether Sparrow's self-healing ability.

"Alright, since I was the first to discover this secret realm, and I was also in charge of the most important part of the magic array in this secret realm, I will take forty percent of the harvest from the secret realm botanical garden. You have no objections, right?" Gregorio said.

"No problem, this was all discussed and agreed upon beforehand," the Rose Witch said.

"I have no problem with that either, but the corpse of the Crimson Nether Sparrow must be mine; I don't care about the rest," Levi said.

That's why he came; he can always find herbs and such again.

Extraordinary creatures like the Crimson Nether Sparrow, which are almost extinct, are the most important to him.

Gregorio nodded in satisfaction and said, "Hmm, I admire the mentality of a rogue cultivator like Lord Levi Wei. After all, most rogue cultivators are poor and always like to fight over trivial interests, without any gentlemanly manners. I have never liked that."

Levi maintained his smile, "You're right. Given the choice, who wouldn't want to be a high-ranking family disciple?"

He didn't try to refute anything; it was pointless. A prodigy like Gregorio was from a different world than him.

"Alright, let's go, don't waste time." Rose sensed the awkward atmosphere; both sides were friends, so she could only try to smooth things over.

"Alright, I know you're from a big family. But aren't Rose and I also independent cultivators? If you look down on independent cultivators, why are you with me?" Lady White Water said with a hint of resentment.

Gregorio smiled and said, "You are different. Besides, I didn't mean to look down on Levi. Don't misunderstand. I was just stating some objective facts. I still respect Lord Levi."

Levi simply smiled and didn't say anything. He silently followed behind the group without uttering a word.

Leaving the no-fly zone of Nether King City, Levi had just taken out the Flying Shark, preparing to enter.

Gregorio took out a small model of a magical airship from his Storage Bag.

Then he chanted a spell, and the model grew larger and larger as it faced the wind, until finally a beautifully crafted and luxurious magical airship appeared there.

On the hull of the airship was engraved a sharp Golden Lightning pattern, which was the crest of the Leitney Family and was clearly custom-made.

"Levi, your Flying Shark is a bit slow. Why don't you come aboard my Lightning? We can exchange ideas and work together on the way, and discuss how to deal with the ferocious creatures in those ancient ruins. As far as I know, there are more than just the Crimson Nether Sparrow there." Gregorio let the two ladies board first. The Rose Witch frowned slightly, and the White Water Witch on the other side also looked uneasy. She regretted mentioning that she knew Levi.

Levi flashed a bright white smile and said in a sunny and kind tone, "Then I won't stand on ceremony, thank you."

Nothing happened along the way, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Somewhere in the Starry Sea Area.

On the sea, a golden magical airship suddenly descended, creating huge waves. Then, the runes on the surface of the airship flashed, and it broke through the seawater, diving into the sea and transforming into a submarine.

In the deep sea, Levi suddenly saw a green light spreading in front of him.

He was constantly on guard, his sense of danger alerted him, though he didn't know if it was because of the dangers within the secret realm.

As for Gregorio, there's nothing wrong with him. Although he's very arrogant, he probably doesn't have any hostility. He just likes to show off.

"The entrance to the secret realm is just ahead. I'll put away the magic airship in a bit, everyone prepare to enter," Gregorio said.

In the deep sea, a cave is emitting a green light.

Four wizards appeared at the edge of the cave, and a ferocious fish rushed out. It was about the level of First Ring transcendent creature and was easily annihilated by the Golden Lightning chain at the fingertips of Gregorio.

"There are always some overconfident ants," Gregorio chuckled softly, snapping his fingers.

Golden arcs of electricity, scattered like a spiderweb, danced on his palm, illuminating the deep seabed and everything within the cave.

"The magic of the Leitney Family is truly amazing," Lady Rose exclaimed, and the White Water Witch nodded in agreement.

"He could clearly use Light Technique or mental power to sense things... To cultivate to this level, he must be at least a hundred years old, how come he's acting like a little kid?" Levi complained.

He simply couldn't understand the thought process of the disciples from powerful families.

What's the point of showing off? Aside from the fleeting sense of vanity and satisfaction, it's utterly meaningless.

Of the three thousand great paths, the true path endures.

Levi followed silently behind, and then stepped into the green-glowing portal.

When he reappeared, Levi was in a place filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers.

"Lord Levi, please don't run around or try to fly away. The Crimson Nether Sparrow, since it won't leave the botanical garden, is actually the least dangerous one here. Based on our last exploration, there might be other dangers lurking in this secret realm, appearing and disappearing unpredictably, making them difficult to guard against," the Rose Witch warned.

Levi nodded and followed behind the group.

Everything around him, from the slightest breeze to the smallest movement, was within his Synesthesia perception range.

This secret realm is much larger than the Giant Tree Secret Realm and Levi's Wind Disaster Secret Realm.

The Giant Tree Secret Realm is a miniature secret realm, the Wind Disaster Secret Realm is a small secret realm, and this is a medium-sized secret realm.

I don't know how far we've traveled.

"Master... I'm hungry."

Green Field Fairy House, Leon lay on the ground, while Strange Worm hovered back and forth, seemingly very anxious.

Helpless, Levi put some of the prepared supernatural creature meat into it.

After doing all this, he realized that he seemed to have fallen far behind the Rose Witch and her group.

He quickly chased after him and followed silently behind.

As he walked, Levi noticed that the Rose Witch and her companions ahead seemed to have stopped talking... He felt something was off.

"Rose Excellency Rose, how far is the botanical garden?"

Levi asked calmly, gazing at the slightly raised hairs on his body.

The Rose Witch ahead kept walking without turning back or paying any attention to Levi, as did the White Water Witch and Gregorio.

The dense forest blocked out the sun, the light grew dimmer, and the birdsong seemed to fade into the distance. The air was damp and chilly, and the faint sound of dripping water could be heard intermittently. A cold wind seemed to penetrate the skin and brush against the soul.

In my mind, the Law Ring Holy Tower rotated slowly, and everything seemed normal.

Levi closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the Ash Eye appeared, reflecting a gray kingdom within them.

Ashes fell from the sky, and the three wizards in front of Levi were now completely devoid of fire, as if they were made of Ashes.

This means that they... have no chance of survival.

Levi's eyes were as still as a deep well.

With a gentle tap, he unleashed the Extreme Ice Sword Finger, piercing through Gregorio in front of him.

Gregorio deflated like a punctured balloon, making a "poof poof poof" sound, while grayish-white water seeped out from the hole.

Moments later, Gregorio had turned into a human skin and a pool of grayish-white water.

Meanwhile, the Rose Witch and the White Water Witch continued walking forward, seemingly unaware of Gregorio's change.

A moment later, Gregorio's human skin stood up and walked forward shakily, as if it were a paper effigy moving forward.

"Interesting."

Levi's lips curled up.

Leon's voice came from Green Field Fairy House.

"Master...let me out, I want to eat something," Leon said.

"Wait a moment."

After Levi finished speaking, accompanied by chanting, a golden flame radiating scorching heat appeared in his hand.

boom.

He directly caused the golden flames to explode around him.

Flames shot into the sky, the trees were instantly charred and burned to nothingness, Ashes, expanding under the high temperature, rushed into the sky.

Within a radius of nearly a hundred meters, everything was burned to nothingness, including the three illusory figures in front of them who were only concerned with walking.

The human skin and the ash water began to dissolve and turn to Ashes.

Flames purify everything! "Playing tricks!"

Suddenly, a cold wind swept over me from behind.

The Heavy Water Barrier lights up.

The Golden Snake Scales are layered.

Levi revealed his Fire Dragon True Body, his entire body engulfed in flames, but that was all; the power of Death Ash swirled around him.

Ashes and flames rose up.

With a bang.

It seemed as if something had hit Levi on the back.

Levi grabbed it with his backhand.

A thin snake with a miniature female head was struggling in his hand, emitting a horrible hiss that Levi couldn't understand at all.

Levi tossed out an Ashes coin.

"Unbowed Silver Seat Owens!"

He said coldly.

Windmill Village in the Ash World.

The armored burly man, who had been sitting alone at the village entrance, chin in hand and lost in thought, suddenly became excited. He drew his silver sword and exclaimed, "Wah-ya-ya!"

"Windmill Village First Strongest Owens, has arrived!"

Then, Owens, who was only a little over a meter tall, looked at his underdeveloped body with a worried expression.

"I said, could you summon me with silver coins next time..." Owens said.

"I didn't bring you here to fight. Show me what this is. Is it the kind of ' Death Fallen ' you mentioned?"

Levi used his Ashes Power to grab the thin snake with the human head, and the snake's body wrapped around Levi's arm, struggling incessantly.

"This... this is Death Fallen! What's going on? Has your world also been invaded by Death Fallen?" Owens asked gravely.

"I don't know."

Levi's Death Ash power and the eruption of flames ultimately Death Fallen.

"What exactly is Death Fallen?" Levi asked.

In his hand was an irregular gray crystal containing a trace of mysterious energy.

"This is a good thing, but unfortunately I'm just an avatar and can't take it back." Owens looked at the crystal.

"Master, I want to eat, I want to eat... I'm hungry." Green Field Fairy House, the anxious voice of the Strange Worm Leon reached Levi's mind.

Levi didn't rush to give it to Leon; he simply gave it some ordinary flesh and blood, and then put the gray crystal away.

"What is Death Fallen... I can't really explain it either. Baron Megan said it seems to be an immortal existence formed from the negative, dark, and corrupt obsessions of all living beings. In our world, only the swords of the Ash Swordsman can slay Death Fallen. You can slay Death Fallen because your power is of the same origin as the power of the Ash Swordsman. It is this power that allowed you, an outsider, to enter the Ash World. In a way, you are one of us in the Ash World," Owens said.

Levi took out a silver coin, on which was engraved a Death Ember Dragon.

"Then what is this?" Levi asked.

"This Coin of Life," Owens said with a simple, honest expression.

"I mean the pattern on it."

"Oh, that? I don't know, since I'm illiterate and haven't gone to school. I only heard Baron Megan say that a long time ago, in the Ash World, there were many powerful figures who possessed the Coinage Authority. They were collectively known as the Ash Lord or Ash King. The Coin of Life minted by each Ash Lord had different designs, but they were basically all in their own likeness, serving as symbols of supreme royal power."

They would reward their bravest Ash Swordsman with these Coin of Life. Back then, in the Ash World, there were many powerful Ash Swordsman of level six or above. Unlike now, where Ash Swordsman like me of level three is considered a master...

Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, the Ash Lord have all disappeared, or perhaps... perished.

After that, the Death Fallen began to spread throughout our world.

Coin of Life are dwindling, advancement for Ash Swordsman is becoming increasingly difficult, the strong are dwindling, and Death Fallen is rampant—it's a vicious cycle.

Levi stared at the silver coin with a solemn expression, deep in thought.

"Wasn't this something I created using the power of the Death Ash? Am I the Ash Lord?"

He put away the silver coins, and not long after, Owens disappeared into the secret realm due to exhaustion of his power.

Levi gazed at the scorched forest clearing.

Continue moving forward.

Those things just now were probably illusions or something created by the Death Fallen [Beauty Snake]. The Death Fallen's abilities are indeed as Rose said, impossible to guard against. Even Levi didn't know when he was caught in the trap.

"Beauty Snake" is a name given by Levi Weiqi.

Its strength is probably no less than that of Third-Ring Wizard.

The most troublesome thing is that if you rely solely on magic, it might take a lot of effort to kill it.

Not long after, Levi found Rose and her group resting in the woods through Synesthesia. They were chatting and laughing, completely unaware that they were missing.

Levi's expression changed slightly upon seeing this.

Beside the Rose Witch sat another Levi, whose expression, demeanor, and aura were exactly the same as hers, sitting silently...

"Then who am I?"

This secret realm seems to be more complex than imagined.

Levi suddenly thought of a chilling question, "During the last exploration of the secret realm, did Rose and the others really... come back alive?"

This is a long chapter of 10,000 words. I will correct any typos later. I will add 4,000 words today, and still owe 5,200 words.
