Blood-Forged Divine Weapon, the Knight's Life-Bound Treasure!

Extreme Fire Ancestral Wizard is also a Legendary Realm figure in the Ninth District. He disappeared while exploring ancient wizarding ruins, and when he returned, he was already Third-Ring Wizard.

Ke Lun and Qiao An, who worked for Levi, were both members of the Extreme Fire Ancestral Wizard Organization. However, after the Extreme Fire Ancestral Wizard was defeated by the Black-Eyed Raven and disappeared, the two of them followed Levi.

To be honest, Levi was somewhat surprised to see that it was the Extreme Fire Ancestral Wizard.

However, after being tricked so many times, Levi was no longer sure whether it was real or fake.

Regardless of whether it's true or not, just kill him and that's it.

A group of the Death Fallen to the ground under Levi's World-Ending Sword, and a hail of gray crystals rained down from the sky.

Levi planned to collect the materials afterward, research some himself, and send some to Owens in Windmill Village on his next trip to the Ash World. That guy's strength needed an improvement.

This "Extreme Fire Ancestral Wizard" did not speak and seemed to be a puppet or something similar.

He didn't even use spells, but just kept attacking Levi with Death Fallen.

Relying on his powerful endurance and the power of Death Ash, Levi annihilated all these Death Fallen.

These Death Fallen are particularly weak, more like a swarm of Venomous Swarm creatures.

However, it could be a real headache for other wizards. Even Fourth Ring Wizard could be worn down and die if caught in it.

As another round of golden flames appeared, the Sun Flare Burst erupted once again.

A terrifying shockwave swept across.

The "Extreme Fire Ancestral Wizard" seemed to melt away completely.

His face was molten wax, and so was his body; he turned into a puddle of pus and evaporated under the flames.

The fog that shrouded this plain seemed to have thinned considerably.

"He's dead?"

Levi felt a sense of unreality and remained standing there for a long time.

Then he arrived at the Wizard Tower that he had destroyed with a single sword strike.

The magic circle on the Wizard Tower seemed to have been destroyed long ago, and it was overgrown with all sorts of vines and flowers.

After using his Synesthesia to scan the Wizard Tower and confirming that there was no danger inside, Levi stepped inside.

The damp tower walls were covered with sticky fungi, and in the darkness, there was the sound of dripping water.

Everything here is infected by a black, Nameless fungus, whether it is living or dead.

"A virus? But ordinary viruses infect living beings, while this virus... infects everything..."

Levi muttered to himself, protecting himself with Heavy Water Barrier, and surrounded by flames, so the fungi could not get close to him.

Suddenly, Levi saw a book on a bookshelf that was covered in fungus.

The Interpretation of Dreams by Freud.

"This should also be the wizard's ruins of the Dreamland Spire..."

Upon seeing this, Levi realized that an identical book had appeared in his hand.

The wizard leader of the Dreamland Spire, the Daydream Wizard, was named Freud.

"Could it be that this place has been invaded by the Nightmare World?"

Levi thought of something terrible.

The Dreamland Spire organization is dedicated to researching the Nightmare World, and all its members have taken Dream Illusion Potion and entered the Nightmare World.

Ultimately, Lost in the Nightmare World and never returned.

Everyone in the Wizard World Mortal World! The Nightmare World is a world of extremely high specifications. According to the research of the Dreamland Spire, it may be a high-dimensional spiritual plane like the Underworld and the Astral Realm, not an ordinary material plane like Nora's.

After an unknown amount of time, having found nothing, Levi saw a mirror on the Third Layer of the Wizard Tower.

The mirror looks ordinary, like an antique or artwork.

The frame of the mirror was covered in mold, but the mirror itself was clean.

Levi looked in the mirror and his expression froze.

The mirror reflects more than just Levi's image...

And behind Levi, there was a monster with a spider's body but a woman's face.

This woman's face looks exactly like those Beauty Snake and beautiful chameleons from before! It has eight compound eyes, each of which is composed of a human face.

Levi's expression changed.

The surging, Death Ash power behind him rushed toward the spider-headed creature.

The walls of the Wizard Tower were blown away.

There was nothing behind Levi...

But when he looked in the mirror, he realized that the spider-headed man was right behind him.

"No... it's not behind me, it's inside the mirror!"

Levi suddenly realized what was happening, and with a palm strike, endless flames reduced the fungus in front of him to nothingness, clearing the wall completely.

After such a horrific attack, the mirror on the wall remained perfectly intact.

The spider's eight female faces wore a mocking smile, like a hunter teasing its prey.

At this moment, Levi understood that the Extreme Fire Ancestral Wizard was nothing more than the opponent's puppet.

This bizarre human-headed spider is the culprit behind everything.

He took out a Breathing Technique Inheritance Diagram.

The Human-Faced Spider Breathing Technique.

This was the first sensory-type Breathing Technique that Levi acquired. It has accompanied Levi to this point, and the Spider Sense and powerful vibrational perception have become Levi's most important and frequently used skills, without exception.

"Human-Faced Spider, right?"

Levi asked with a smile, somewhat relieved.

The spider in the mirror ignored Levi; it simply stared at Levi simultaneously with eight women's faces.

"No wonder my senses were being disturbed; it turns out I've run into the real deal," Levi murmured to himself.

Although the Human-Faced Spider design on the Breathing Technique Inheritance Diagram is rather abstract, it is clear that it is the same spider as the one in the mirror.

Legend has it that the Human-Faced Spider is adept at creating illusions and uses terrifying abilities to drag its prey into the deepest Nightmare.

Levi stared at the Human-Faced Spider in the mirror.

In the end, the Human-Faced Spider gradually disappeared into the mirror, making Levi feel as if there was a real "mirror world" inside the mirror.

Levi knew where that was.

"Nightmare World".

He gazed at the disappearing Human-Faced Spider.

Levi then blasted it with flames.

The next moment, the mirror shattered into pieces and melted into molten glass.

Judging from its appearance, it was just an ordinary mirror, except that the Human-Faced Spider had chosen to let Levi see it in some way.

At the same time, after entering the secret realm, the chilling, Inseparable Shadow feeling of being watched disappeared.

Levi continued his search inside the Wizard Tower, and finally, he found four white cocoons in the Wizard Tower Master's laboratory.

In addition, in the transparent containers in the laboratory, there were some specimens that looked like Nightmare Creatures, strangely shaped, like the haphazardly combined monsters in everyone's dreams.

After confirming that there was nothing else, Levi looked at the white cocoon.

This must be made of spider webs.

There are four in total.

Levi used Frostmourne to cut open these white cocoons one by one from left to right.

The first one is empty.

The second one is empty.

In the third one, Levi saw Lady White Water with her eyes closed, breathing rhythmically, seemingly immersed in a dream.

Levi touched her, but she didn't react.

The fourth one is the Rose Witch, whose situation is similar to that of Lady White Water.

Where did Gregorio go?

Levi looked at the second cocoon, Golden Serpent's Tongue extended out; the second aura belonged to Gregorio.

The first one is most likely the Extreme Fire Ancestral Wizard.

On the floor of the first cocoon, he saw intricate patterns carved with magic, which looked like some kind of symbol.

He engraved it on the Memory Stone Slab. In fact, with Levi's mental strength, remembering these symbols was not difficult. However, he was worried that his memory was still being affected.

Having done all this, Levi picked up the Rose Witch in one arm and Lady White Water in the other, and quickly left the Wizard Tower and the plain.

He returned to the botanical garden, where the mist had dissipated, and Levi could still see traces of his battle with the Crimson Nether Sparrow.

With a calm expression, he walked through the primeval forest and arrived at the cave.

The musty smell of decay had completely disappeared from the cave.

The familiar green portal reappeared, and after a moment's thought, Levi stepped into it.

The secret realm behind them was silent and still.

After an unknown amount of time, the mist seemed to begin to spread again from that plain.

The antique mirror reappeared on the collapsed Wizard Tower wall.

The mirror reflected everything around it: broken walls and ruins, and a blue sky about to be shrouded in mist.

Beneath this reflection, there seems to be another, deeper, and more somber world:

Countless black fungi covered the earth, and the trees, seemingly made of flesh and blood, reached for the sky. Some fungal mounds that vaguely resembled human figures clung to the trees. In the darkness in the distance, there were whispers and tall shadows with eight legs hiding within them, as if countless faces were watching all of this.

In a deep underground cave, white cocoons are displayed.

Two of the cocoons had already broken open. Inside one was the peaceful, sleeping face of the Extreme Fire Ancestral Wizard, devoid of any life force.

The other was a handsome face with furrowed brows, as if he were still immersed in some kind of nightmare.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes. Golden Lightning flashed by, and strands of electricity scorched the white cocoon. He emerged from it.

He took a deep breath and carefully stepped out of the cave. Through the thicket of flesh and blood, he looked up at the sky and saw a curtain of red and black, covered with cracks, with indescribable monsters flying around in it.

Through these cracks, he seemed to see the birth and destruction of countless worlds.

Then, it seemed as if some shadow blocked his vision.

It was a giant spider, as large as a mountain, with eight legs that stretched across the land like pillars supporting the sky.

Its head, with compound eyes composed of the faces of eight women, was staring at him.

An overwhelming sense of oppression and suffocation washed over him. At this moment, even though Gregorio was Third-Ring Wizard, he felt somewhat insignificant.

Welcome to the Nightmare World!

On a deserted island in the Starry Sea Area, Levi set up a concealment array and hid inside.

He brought out the Rose Witch and Lady White Water; he had many questions for them. It seemed that the Human-Faced Spider had found a way to invade the Nora Plane, and he needed to prepare in advance.

Levi settled the two witches, gave them some potions, and then began to assess the gains of his trip.

He first probed his consciousness into the Green Field Fairy House, where Leon was sleeping.

It's a size bigger now. This thing must be related to the Death Fallen and the Nightmare World, and perhaps it's the key to unlocking the Nightmare World.

It can be said that, like Levi, it is the nemesis of the Death Fallen, and even feeds directly on the Death Fallen.

Levi left only after confirming several times that his insect-controlling spell was still working.

Before leaving, he once again used dream manipulation to subconsciously suggest something to the person.

"Only Leon who obeys his master is a good boy; those who don't will have to wander outside and go hungry..."

Leon's biggest fear was going hungry.

Levi snapped out of his daze. Regardless of the circumstances, without Leon, it would likely take Levi some effort to get out.

Then Levi looked at his Skyfire Meteorite Iron again; it was still there.

He breathed a sigh of relief that it wasn't an illusion.

The Crimson Nether Sparrow was the same; it had already been bound by Levi's magical artifact contract and was now looking listless, lying in a corner, being watched by Laja, Leviathan, and the others.

Levi released Ke Lun, Ke Lun, along with Qiao An, was cleaning up the supernatural creature's excrement inside Alice's Ring. Upon emerging, they immediately greeted each other with smiles, "What brings you here, senior?"

"You said that the Extreme Fire Ancestral Wizard entered an ancient ruin. Do you know what kind of ancient ruin it was?" Levi asked.

"Well... I really don't know. Why don't you ask Qiao An? He's a Ruins Hunter, so he might know something," Ke Lun said.

"After the Extreme Fire Ancestral Wizard emerged from the ruins, was there anything unusual?" Levi changed the subject.

"I didn't notice anything unusual. He was always doing research alone in the Wizard Tower and never seemed to sleep or rest. We members rarely interacted with him either. However, he found a lot of ancient-looking magical artifacts in the ruins and sold them to us members."

Ke Lun took out a Holy Grail magical artifact.

"This magical artifact can form a protective shield, but it's broken. It broke when I accidentally stumbled into Senior Black Fire Island. The Extreme Fire Ancestral Wizard is too shady. Knowing that it wouldn't last long, she still sold it to us at the price of a normal magical artifact!"

Levi looked at the Holy Grail artifact in Ke Lun's hand; it appeared to be just an ordinary Second Ring artifact.

Perhaps it was discovered by the Extreme Fire Ancestral Wizard in the ruins of an ancient shaman.

Levi told Ke Lun to continue being a cat owner and to let Qiao An out.

He asked similar questions, but Qiao An knew nothing about them either. Although he was a relic hunter, he joined the wizarding organization late, by which time the Extreme Fire Ancestral Wizard had already returned from the relic site.

Levi stopped wasting time and focused on recuperating, waiting for the two witches to awaken.

Three days later.

Lady White Water was the first to wake up, and her first words were. "Lord Levi Wei, run! There's something strange about this secret realm."

"Madam, we have already left the secret realm," Levi said.

"Has he left? Where is my husband, Gregorio?" Lady White Water asked.

Levi then omitted some details of his experience and told Lady White Water about it.

"You mean we joined forces in the botanical garden to defeat the Crimson Nether Sparrow?" Lady White Water asked, puzzled.

"No?" Levi asked back, pondering to himself.

Lady White Water shook her head.

"As we walked, we realized you were missing. Rose said she was going to look for you, but my husband said to leave you alone. We argued about it, but then you quickly returned, and we continued on together."

On our way to the botanical garden, we got lost, perhaps due to some kind of Fierce Spirit. We then stumbled upon a vast plain and saw a five-story Wizard Tower. My husband suggested we explore it.

Inside the Wizard Tower, I saw the Extreme Fire Ancestral Wizard. He no longer recognized me and was controlling those strange Fierce Spirit to attack us. We were no match for him and were quickly captured.

It was then that we realized you had been separated from us again, and then I lost consciousness.

I had a dream, a dream of an extremely terrifying world, where the sky was dark and rivers of lava flowed upside down from the heavens...

Lady White Water remained curled up there, still shaken. The dream felt so real that she felt she might have been trapped in it forever if she hadn't woken up.

Levi was lost in thought.

It seems that after he was first separated from Lady White Water and the others, the Human-Faced Spider used an illusion to create a replica of himself, separating the real Levi and Rose, and taking them to the Wizard Tower on the plains.

Levi, on the other hand, had his senses disrupted and was drawn to the botanical garden by the illusions created by the Human-Faced Spider Rose.

He felt that the illusion created by the Human-Faced Spider might have a limited duration, and when it was about to expire, it would start repeating meaninglessly, like a stuck disc.

There was absolutely no teamwork involved; Levi defeated the Crimson Nether Sparrow all by himself.

Those conversations may have been formed subconsciously by Levi under the influence of illusions, much like a dream.

In short, Levi and Rose were forced to split up. It was probably because the Human-Faced Spider had witnessed the power of Levi's Death Ash and knew that the Death Fallen beings it controlled could not defeat Levi, so it was afraid that Levi would jeopardize its plans.

So this method was used to delay Levi in the botanical garden.

And it was trying to take Rose and the others away in some way.

If Levi's guess is correct, the ancient ruins that the Extreme Fire Ancestral Wizard entered may be a branch of the Dreamland Spire, and it is very likely that this is it.

He may have taken Dream Illusion Potion and entered the Nightmare World voluntarily. Of course, judging from the white cocoon, it's also possible that he was passively pulled into the Nightmare World by the Human-Faced Spider; if the latter is true, then it's rather terrifying.

At the same time, Levi analyzed that it was also because of the Extreme Fire Ancestral Wizard that the Human-Faced Spider had something like a medium to invade the secret realm.

Otherwise, without any medium, separated by two distant worlds, even illusion-type abilities would be impossible to perform.

Even Legendary Wizard and the Seven Gods are not this powerful. The Seven Gods need to send down saints and angels to interfere with the prime material plane.

As for Gregorio, that unlucky fellow, he has most likely already been dragged into the Nightmare World.

If I hadn't arrived in time and broken free of the white cocoon, Rose and Lady White Water might have been dragged into the Nightmare World as well.

"Is the Human-Faced Spider actually some kind of powerful Nightmare Creatures?"

Judging from its appearance, the Human-Faced Spider does indeed resemble the art style of Nightmare World. In fact, among the Six Dimensions Breathing Technique, those that seem to be perception-type creatures are all strange and bizarre beings: the Great Nightmare, the Dream Dragon, the Cloud Worm...

"It's still because my cultivation level is too low that I fell for that Human-Faced Spider's trick. This thing is pretty much what I guessed; it can only Death Fallen."

Because the true form of the Human-Faced Spider is not in the secret realm within the Nightmare World inside the mirror, even if I face it directly, it cannot do anything to me.

Of course, it could also be related to the [Nightmare Force] within me. The Human-Faced Spider Breathing Technique is only of a rudimentary quality, while the Human-Faced Spider Heavenly Nightmare is far superior in level.

Now it seems that Heavenly Nightmare might also be Nightmare Creatures, including the Nightmare Lizard, the Dream Dragon... all of these are inextricably linked to Nightmare.

Levi looked at the trembling creature he called the "Nightmare Crown Lizard" inside Alice's Ring.

"I still need to practice the Dream Dragon Breathing Technique. If I want to fight against the Nightmare Creatures that may invade the Wizard World, a perception-type Breathing Technique may be the key." Levi made up his mind, and he did not back down because of this.

In any case, he cannot give up the Breathing Technique. If he runs away because of fear of Nightmare, then he will only be toyed with in front of that damned Human-Faced Spider.

If given the chance, when Levi is powerful enough, he will personally visit the Nightmare World and let these pretentious fools know what true fear and Nightmare are! Not long after Lady White Water woke up, the Rose Witch also woke up.

"Are we out yet?" she asked, looking around.

"That's right, Lord Levi saved us." Lady White Water hugged her knees, curled up in the corner, her eyes downcast.

Where is Gregorio?

"He's missing. According to my and Levi's analysis, he may have entered Other Plane. I have his soul lamp, and he is still alive..." A small lamp appeared in Lady White Water's hand.

The candles inside burned quietly.

"This is troublesome. The last time we entered the secret realm, it wasn't this terrifying. If we had known it would be like this, we shouldn't have come." Rose touched her body and found that her Storage Bag and other belongings were still there.

"What do we do next?" Rose asked Lady White Water.

"I don't know. I think I should talk to Gregorio's father about this. He's a Fifth Ring wizard. Maybe he can help me..." Lady White Water said, feeling uncertain.

"You could die if you did that," Rose said. "Given Gregorio's cautious and suspicious nature, he certainly wouldn't tell anyone, including his father, about exploring the secret realm."

Now you say you went to explore the secret realm with Gregorio, you came out alive, but Gregorio went missing. What will his father think? Even if he knows the truth, that you are innocent, and that Gregorio was taken to Other Plane by a monster, how likely do you think it is that he won't blame you at all?

Actually, I didn't quite approve of you being with Gregorio at first either. You thought marrying into a big family was a good thing.

In my view, this is also a constraint. You should be aware of this. The Leitney Family isn't interested in you, but rather in your master, a promising young Primal Soul Wizard. To them, you're nothing more than a tool for a marriage alliance.

Lady White Water felt there was some truth to what she was saying and whispered, "It's alright if Gregorio disappears for a short time, but if it goes on for too long, the Leitney Family will definitely find out."

"It's wartime now. It's normal to get robbed, disappear, or die by Black Wizard when you're out and about... You shouldn't go back to the Leitney Family. Find a place to hide and wait for the master to return from his interdimensional travels," Rose said.

Levi listened to the conversation between the two women while wiping his Frostmourne away. There might actually be two disciples of the Leitney Family who entered the secret realm.

The first one has been dead for some time now. He was probably driven mad by the illusions and committed suicide in the tree hollow. The Leitney Family has not found his body to this day.

He felt that Gregorio was basically not coming back.

Anyway, Levi gained a lot this time, so it wasn't a loss.

"Lord Levi Wei, let's sign a contract. We won't tell anyone about what happened in the secret realm. That might be better for us," Rose said.

"I'm fine," Levi said.

Lady White Water nodded as well.

The three signed a confidentiality agreement.

Rose said to Lady White Water, "Find a place to hide and don't go into that secret realm again. Let it be buried deep in the sea. When our master returns, we'll tell her about this. She seems to have some knowledge of that Nightmare World."

"I understand." Lady White Water nodded, her mind heavy with worry.

"Thank you for saving me, Lord Levi. I owe you a favor, and I will do my best to repay it in the future," Rose said gratefully.

"I was just doing it on the spur of the moment. It's only right to help each other on the path of wizards," Levi said.

If it weren't for the fact that he had already designated the future core member of the Twilight Knight Order, the Hundred Flower Knight, he might not have saved the two of them.

With these two witches acting as matchmakers, it will be easier for Levi to deal with the Hundred Flower Knight in the future.

Rose nodded, her opinion of Levi rising even higher.

So, Lady White Water and Levi bid farewell on the island, while Levi returned to Nether King City with Rose.

Upon returning to Nether King City, Levi hurried to the House of Witches to turn in the quest, where the Little Witch Ke Li was busy.

"Ke Li, how many days ago was the last time I turned in a mission? I can't quite remember," Levi asked.

"Lord Levi Wei, it was seven days ago," Ke Li said obediently.

Levi nodded and left the House of Witches, seemingly lost in thought.

Back in his rented Wizard Tower, Levi shut down the magic circle.

Carefully check yourself for any unusual marks or markings, lest you fall prey to that Human-Faced Spider.

In addition, Levi also examined the Crimson Nether Sparrow in Alice's Ring, and even other extraordinary creatures.

In short, he was a little uneasy about everything he brought out of the secret realm this time.

Finally, everything was normal, and Levi was relieved.

Not long after, Levi used the Bloodline Essence of the Nightmare Crown Lizard to create a Dream Dragon potion.

He took some and experimented with it, and saw that his proficiency with the Dream Dragon Breathing Technique had increased significantly compared to his normal liver.

"As expected, this is the Nightmare Lizard, or more likely its superior alternative."

Levi breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, this secret realm...

He actually solved the two most difficult-to-deal-with Secret Medicine, Phoenix and Dream Dragon, in one go.

"Aljeta, you all keep an eye on the house. I plan to go into seclusion for a while. Remember to deliver the potions I've made to the House of Witches regularly," Levi said.

"Yes, Master." Among Levi's Fur Race, Aljeta had long since reached the level of Legendary Knight. When transformed into Frost Wolf, her strength was no weaker than that of Senior First Ring Wizard.

Of the other three Fur Race, only Taijia has reached the Legendary Knight so far; the other two have likely failed.

Although the lifespan of the Fur Race is slightly longer than that of the Human Tribe, it is still limited.

If they cannot break through to the Legendary Realm before their time is up, there is nothing Levi can do; he has already created excellent conditions for their cultivation.

Levi has no immediate plans to incorporate the Fur Race Legendary Knight into the Twilight Knight Order system; he will continue to use them as his servants.

Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

As Levi Potion Making and cultivated in Nether King City, his spiritual power gradually increased, and his proficiency in the Death Ash Breathing Technique and Dream Dragon Breathing Technique also began to advance by leaps and bounds.

At the same time, after Levi completed the Spell Model structure of the Thunder Serpent Art, his Seventh Rank Thunderbird Art advanced to the Eighth Rank Thunder Serpent Art through the Proficiency Panel.

Levi ——————

Thunder Serpent Art: Eighth Rank (1/100000).

The Eighth Rank Thunder Serpent Art has a spell attack strength of 24 cards, which is not yet perfect. Levi estimates that the Ninth-Rank Limit should be around 30 cards.

As he chanted, lightning flashed from his fingertips, like a long snake darting into the void, crackling and popping.

"The Thunder Faction is still cool," Levi couldn't help but admire.

After collecting spells over this period of time, he has basically decided on the direction of his future innate magical talents.

He planned to use one of Third Ring three innate spells for attack, one for defense, and one for control.

For offense, you should choose between the Combustion Faction and Thunder Faction. The Bronze Faction has too few spells, making it inconvenient to craft.

Then combine it into a defense and control system, and that will be enough.

Levi's idea was that, apart from some functional spells, the main combat spells should be of high quality rather than many.

At the Third Ring stage, you can create three top-tier talent spells and max out all of them. That's more than enough to compete with ordinary Fourth Ring Wizard.

After the Third Ring, although wizards mastered many spells, in actual combat they often relied on their innate spells that were instantaneous, effortless, and powerful.

This time, Levi emerged from seclusion for two reasons: firstly, to continue refining a batch of potions needed by the House of Witches.

On the other hand, he wanted to forge the Skyfire Meteorite Iron into a suitable weapon.

But before that, we need to meet with the Rose Witch.

There Is a Tavern.

Inside the private room, the Rose Witch had already ordered the drinks. Levi bent down to come in and sat opposite her.

"What's wrong, Your Excellency Rose?" Levi asked.

"Gregorio is dead, and the spirit lamp left in the family has gone out..." Rose said.

"Sigh." Levi sighed; Gregorio was truly unlucky.

"Any news about Lady White Water?" Levi asked.

"No, I don't know where she went. She probably feels guilty towards Gregorio," Rose said.

"Ms. Rose, you must have something else to discuss with me, right?" Levi asked.

"Yes, Your Excellency Levi, for the past six months, I have been having nightmares every time I go to sleep. Once I have a nightmare, it is difficult for me to wake up on my own. Every time I dream about it, it is that strange world with the sky cracked and a giant spider with eight human faces."

"To the point that in the end, I didn't dare to sleep at all. Although wizards can use meditation instead of sleeping, it's too stressful in the long run, and it's not a good solution either," Lady Rose said solemnly.

"It seems the effects of that Nightmare World are still lingering." Levi frowned.

"You have one too? How did you solve it?" Rose seemed to have grasped at a straw, looking at Levi with expectant eyes.

"No, I rarely sleep... After all, the Nightmare World sounds like it's related to dreams. By the way, have you taken any potions in the secret realm?" Levi asked.

"Aside from the usual potions for restoring mental and Art Power, I haven't taken any other potions," Rose said.

"Don't sleep anymore. If you really can't hold on any longer, take some medicine to soothe your mental energy. My suggestion is to wait for your master to return. I don't know anything about this either." Levi knew that Rose had come to him for help.

The problem is that he knows very little about the Nightmare World. He has slept in it a few times during this period without any problems and without having any dreams at all.

"Well... sigh, I don't know when Master will be back from this trip." Rose said dejectedly.

Not sleeping wasn't a big problem for her. It was just that she had thought she had escaped and gotten rid of the Human-Faced Spider, but then she found out it wasn't that simple, and that feeling was very uncomfortable.

After parting ways with Rose, Levi felt an increased sense of urgency.

The Nightmare World is different from the Abyss; at least the wizards know a lot about the Abyss.

Nightmare, aside from the Dreamland Spire, are probably only being studied in secret by a few scattered wizards.

Levi felt that if he hadn't possessed the Death Ash Breathing Technique and the Sky-Nightmare Breathing Technique, he might have ended up like Rose and the others.

"Never mind, let's focus on the forging first and calm down."

Levi returned to the Wizard Tower, where a fiery red meteorite floated in the smelting chamber.

As the name suggests, Elemental Metal, in addition to their inherent hardness and unique properties, often contain abundant natural elemental energy.

Skyfire Meteorite Iron, a Elemental Metal, is suitable for Combustion Faction wizards to forge high-level magical artifacts, which can amplify the power of spells.

Levi planned to forge a Knight Sword using Skyfire Meteorite Iron, but Frostmourne kept breaking during battles, affecting his performance.

The Fire Elemental Spirit Ace desperately tried to fuse the Skyfire Meteorite Iron with his own flames, but after half a day, the meteorite iron showed no change whatsoever.

"Forget it, you can go rest over there." Levi gave up, watching Ace's light flicker and almost go out.

Ace is merely a level one Fire Elemental Spirit; to ask it to melt this meteorite is to make things difficult for it.

"If only we could have captured the level 5 Fire Elemental Spirit from that magma ocean," Levi sighed.

Ace couldn't be relied upon, so he had to do it himself. The flames of his Fire Dragon True Body began to surge out, enveloping the Skyfire Meteorite Iron.

Half a day later, the outer layer of the Skyfire Meteorite Iron seemed to begin to melt and soften.

"It's promising. My flames are good, but they're a bit slow..."

Levi was overjoyed.

The days that followed.

In addition to his spiritual practice and Potion Making, Levi had a new task: iron smelting.

The smelting room where he worked was always filled with high temperatures, and he was the only one who could stay in that place.

Aljeta and the others felt unbearably hot after only being outside the smelter for a short while, as if they were in an oven.

The year 1097 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Flowing Fire.

Inside Levi's forging room, everything was glowing red with flames. Levi held a giant hammer, tempering the sword embryo in front of him.

After more than a year of smelting, hammering, and casting.

Now, the Knight Sword that Levi had envisioned is finally nearing completion.

While swords are commonplace and lack originality, they are a popular choice for Knight and can be better suited for unleashing Annihilation Sword Qi.

Not long after.

With the completion of the final step, the sword was finally formed.

This is a jet-black greatsword, simple and unadorned, without any runes, magic circles, or patterns; it is just a simple sword.

Levi held the sword, yet felt a connection with it. He sensed the rich fire elemental power within the blade, his hand gripping the scorching hilt. With a single strike, he severed the old generation's Pure Sun Gold Frostmourne.

"It cuts through iron like mud, what a fine sword!" Levi couldn't help but rejoice.

He tried it again, slashing at his own palm. The blade collided with the Golden Scales scales, sparks flew, and a harsh, unpleasant sound was heard.

In the end, the sword pierced Levi's Golden Scales with relative ease.

This shows that it wouldn't be difficult for this sword to break through the defensive force field of an ordinary Fourth Ring Wizard.

Suddenly, Levi noticed that after being cut by the greatsword, the hot blood from his palm began to flow backwards towards the greatsword, merging into its blade.

The next moment, a sense of blood connection arose. A feeling of divine inspiration appeared.

At the same time, a pattern of a ferocious, crimson fire dragon with wings that blot out the sky automatically appeared on the blade of the longsword.

The pattern seemed to be composed of countless blood-red runes, exuding a mysterious and profound aura! The Crimson Emperor Dragon Seed in Levi's heart began to roar, and the black greatsword visibly shrank, eventually transforming into a streak of crimson light and disappearing into Levi's palm.

Then, a small, miniature black Knight Sword was firmly held in the mouth of the Red Emperor Dragon. The Red Emperor Dragon showed a satisfied expression, quite pleased with itself.

At the heart, the Golden Snake, the Sky Dragon, and the Scarlet Dragon —the three Bloodline Seed —all gazed at the Red Emperor Dragon. Levi could sense that these bloodline seeds seemed to be filled with envy and longing; they too desired his weapon...

"The Red Dragon carries the sword, cutting through iron like mud. Let's call you ' Red Dragon Ironcleaver '," Levi pondered.

The Red Dragon Ironcleaver is more than just a Knight Sword.

It actually resonated with the Crimson Emperor Dragon Seed inside its body, and was eventually taken over by the Red Emperor Dragon.

A thought arose.

The Red Dragon Ironcleaver Sword appeared in Levi's palm, then grew larger and larger until it returned to its original size.

The Red Dragon totem radiated intense heat, so lifelike that each scale seemed to be a rune.

"Although it's not a magical artifact and doesn't contain any magical runes, it possesses the extraordinary characteristic of being able to change size at will? The runes that make up this Red Dragon pattern seem to be completely different from the rune system of wizards... Could it be that the way of the Knight can also have its own rune system?" Levi was shocked.

Levi tried to inject more of the Crimson Emperor Dragon Power into the Red Dragon Ironcleaver.

Then, this Red Dragon Ironcleaver could actually grow longer and larger, two meters, three meters, five meters...

Levi stopped. If it grew any longer, it would puncture the smelting chamber, and then he really could be wielding a forty-meter-long sword to chop people down...

"Interesting, very interesting."

Levi was amazed.

He discovered a pattern: only those Bloodline Seed that had reached the thirteenth rank or above, that is, the Blood Source Transformation, would express a desire for the Red Dragon Ironcleaver mentioned by the Red Emperor Dragon.

This seems to be a watershed moment.

"This should be a hidden change in the Knight after the Blood Source Transformation. I didn't discover it before because I didn't have a good weapon."

Weapons forged from the finest materials can be attracted by the Bloodline Seed, forming a bloodline connection, similar to a destined weapon.

The twelfth-tier Death Ash and the Eleventh Order Heavenly Nightmare did not express that kind of desire.

This weapon can amplify the power of bloodline energy. It can be stored within the body and nurtured by the Bloodline Seed, constantly growing as the bloodline energy advances.

In other words, after Bloodborne, Knight can use their bloodline to forge weapons and cultivate their own customizable, evolving weapons.

One day, it might be able to be compared with the wizards' magical artifacts, or even soul artifacts, Saint Soul Tool, and Legendary Realm magical artifacts.

Since that's the case, I, Levi, will come up with a catchy name.

Bloodline Divine Weapon!
