Witch: Accumulate Experience Through The Knight Breathing Technique

Chapter 2669: Chapter 550: Crushing Purple Crystal, Who Can Resist Below Level-10?

Shadow World.

A clearing in the forest, top floor of the Wizard Tower.

The Shadow Rat peered around the circle, but saw no sign of the black silhouette.

"This is what freedom feels like..."

Suddenly, a hoarse voice echoed.

A figure emerged from the shadows.

He wore a wizard robe from the Ancient Shadow School of Thought.

Radiating a vast aura.

There was a piece of irregular black matter in his palm.

It squirmed, twisted, and then slowly dispersed.

"The path of the [Shadow Net] is indeed difficult, the Wizard Council managed to save me with considerable effort. Perhaps I should learn to compromise, choose another path... Thanks to the hundred thousand years of shadow life, I’ve gained a one-of-a-kind shadow physique in this world. Blessings and curses intertwined. Going forward, gathering new strength to prove my legendary path won’t be hard."

As for now, he should leave.

Return to Nora.

Meet Levi.

Meet Edmund and Gullwig who saved him.

Legendary Magic Scrolls, these are extremely precious items.

The price paid was indeed significant.

Looking back at this failed Legendary experience.

Wagner doesn’t regret it.

He realized the human potential far surpassed his imagination.

His understanding of shadows also went far beyond the past.

Most importantly.

He was fortunate to have lived from ancient times to the present.

He survived a hundred thousand years!

In present-day Nora, there are dozens of Legendary Wizards.

So many kindred spirits.

The lonely shadow is not lonely!

...

Ancient Dragon Continent.

Levi finished his tea, and the figure of a black-robed wizard appeared before him.

"You are... Sir Wagner?"

"Yes."

"You were saved?"

"Indeed, this batch of Supreme Council Legendary Wizards are stronger than I imagined, truly the Yangtze River waves push the waves ahead, each generation is stronger than the previous one."

"Congratulations, what state is Sir in now?"

"Nine Rings Perfect, I suppose. However, the original legendary path may have been somewhat impractical, I may need to adjust, which will cost quite some time. Yet, the long-term erosion by the Shadow World has reshaped my body, and now I’m somewhere between a Shadow Creature and a human, not sure how to define it... In any case, I am still me, thank you for your trust, Sir Levi. It’s wonderful to see the world after a hundred thousand years."

"I understand your mindset, at present the Supreme Council’s Daydreamer, who proved his legendary path after infinitely reincarnating within a powerful Nightmare Monarch for eighty thousand years, escaped the cage... Oh yes, I have another friend who has authority on such matters; I can introduce you. He is also an ancient figure from tens of thousands of years ago."

With that, Levi took Wagner to meet Gargamel.

After some conversation, both were greatly surprised.

"You actually plan to seal the gods of the astral world?"

"You plan to control the Shadow World?"

"Well, your plan sounds unreliable, I was almost successful."

"Neither does yours seem better; even if truly successful, you might be confined by the Shadow World, which may not be the outcome you desire."

Suddenly, both sighed in unison:

"We must look to the stars, while keeping our feet on the ground."

From ancient times to the present.

No two Legendary Professions have ever been identical.

Grand Wizards who reach Ninth-Circle Realm.

Each is highly ambitious and talented.

Some ambition is normal.

Adventuring, exploring, and breaking new ground is the only way to continually extend human potential and civilization’s boundaries.

Everyone wants to carve out their own legendary path.

Before every new Legendary Profession is born, it is bound to be filled with the unknown.

Trial and error is very normal.

We can only say Daydreamer, Gargamel, Wagner are fortunate.

Because many Grand Wizards in the process of trial and error, completely vanish into the dust.

Yet they continue due to various lucky circumstances.

...

Supreme Council.

Wagner finally met the two Legendary Wizards who saved him.

Edmund and Gullwig.

Thoughts surged, there was so much he wanted to say.

Ultimately, he could only express it in simple words.

"Thank you!"

Edmund laughed, saying:

"It’s an honor for us to meet a legendary figure from history books. The main reason for success this time was your own strength; Gullwig and I merely distracted some of the Shadow World’s attention."

Gullwig asked:

"Has Sir decided on the path forward? Will you continue the original legendary path, or forge a new way from the beginning?"

Wagner earnestly replied:

"In theory, cultivation should be a relentless pursuit of the path one believes in. It’s not right to abandon it at the first sign of failure...

But after experiencing certain things, I want to be more cautious this time. Bound by the Shadow World for a hundred thousand years, I never stopped thinking. I was always pondering, if I had a second chance, how would I walk the path. Now, I’ve figured it out."

Edmund said:

"Cultivation doesn’t entail being a deserter; there’s no absolute truth. I trust Sir Wagner’s talent and ability; your proposal of the [Shadow Network] is also what countless predecessors in the Shadow School of Thought pursued.

Your failure wasn’t due to a lack of subjective ability, but because of the objective reality we can’t currently challenge. As long as the Nora Civilization continues, one day the [Shadow Network] will be realized by even more excellent future generations."

Edmund’s words left Wagner without hesitation or doubt.

Gullwig added:

"Sir Wagner can return to the Shadow School of Thought next, and communicate with Shadow Walkers and Light and Shadow Walkers about the contemporary Shadow School of Thought knowledge, which might inspire you."
