He was old and weak, and his strength was not even as good as the Earl of Silver Mountain, who was at his peak. If he did not rely on some trump cards of the church, he might not even be able to keep his life.

For a time, everyone in Icewind City was in a state of panic.

The unknown evil spirit seemed to be picking on the strong.

In the following period, some knights were attacked one after another. Such knights died before the mysterious and terrifying evil spirit.

Nearly ten knight nobles or wandering knights died in Icewind City in the next two months.

Some voices of doubt about the church began to appear among the people, but of course, these voices soon disappeared.

Although Adolf felt embarrassed for the safety of himself and the residents in the city, he still applied for the headquarters to send stronger people over.

The current team leader of the Seven Holy Knights of the World arrived at Icewind City.

He was also a top-notch grand knight. His real name was unknown, but the knights called him the “Black Submerged Knight.” He was no weaker than Adolf at his peak.

He was also Adolf’s disciple.

Inside the Icewind Church, the Black Submerged Knight looked at Adolf on the sickbed and could not help but smile helplessly.

The Black Submerged Knight said strangely, “I didn’t expect the famous Holy

Sword Knight to be down and out. He can’t even deal with an evil spirit?”

The grey-robed wise man Adolf said unhappily, “Little brat, cut the crap. I didn’t ask you to come here to scold the old man. How could this evil spirit be my match if I were ten years younger?”

The Black Submerged Knight stopped joking and asked seriously, “Alright, let’s get down to business. Teacher, what evil spirit is it this time? Tell me so I can be prepared.”

“It should be a dangerous evil spirit, and, likely, it’s not ordinary. According to my information, it’s very likely the legendary Soulstealing Nun. You have to be careful when dealing with this kind of evil spirit. Cultivating the church’s spiritual secret, the Furnace Method is best. I regret not cultivating the Furnace Method back then. I only focused on physical cultivation and neglected spiritual cultivation. It didn’t work.”

The Black Submerged Knight said, “The Furnace Method? I’ve cultivated it, but not very deeply. After all, it’s a spiritual secret technique. It’s a waste of time, and progress is plodding. It’s imaginary, invisible, and untouchable. I think there shouldn’t be many people in the church who have the patience to cultivate the Furnace Method to the great success realm.”

“Then you should be careful when you make a point. If you really can’t do it, then give up. Your life is more important. The Soulstealing Nun is not something an ordinary, dangerous evil spirit can compare to. The Silver Mountain Knight is also a top-notch grand knight, yet he is still not her match.”

After Adolf finished speaking, he let the Black Submerged Knight leave.

After his disciple left, he stared at the dome in a daze.

“This bunch of people from the church belittled the wizards, but in the end, they still have to practice the sorcerers’ Meditation Art to deal with evil spirits.

What a joke.”

“For the sake of an imaginary god, we gave up the true path of wizard. If God cares about us, why has the world suffered more over thousands of years?”

Adolf sighed. His faith wavered as he grew older and saw more of the world.

After coming out of seclusion, Levi also learned about the invasion of the evil spirit in Icewind City.

“Again? It had not been long since the last evil spirit attack, and the situation was getting increasingly serious.”

“I wonder if the rascal Montenegro Mountain is behind this.”

“Forget it; it has nothing to do with me. I’ll continue to use my experience and strive to reach the limit of the Black Snake Breathing Technique as soon as possible.”

Levi continued to cultivate in seclusion. The more he tried to avoid panic, the more he could not afford to panic.

Time passed in cultivation. Just like that, half a year passed amidst the storms of the outside world.

It was the year 1012 of the Holy Brilliance Calendar, the Month of Harvest.

In the shelter, Levi’s body was undergoing a vast transformation.

His entire body seemed to be shrouded in black gas. The black gas attached to the surface of his body, and traces of patterns began to spread on the surface of the black gas, circle by circle, layer by layer, row by row.

This made Levi look like he was covered in a layer of ferocious scales.

These scales made of black gas emitted a metallic luster. As Levi breathed, they kept colliding and overlapping, and the faint sound of metal colliding could be heard.

Levi opened his eyes and looked at his body, which was covered in scales. He stretched out his hand, and the back of his hand was also covered in scales.

With a thought, these scales disintegrated into black gas and returned to his body.

With another thought, the black gas reappeared and transformed into half-illusory and half-real scales on his body.

“Is this the defense of a Level 9 Black Snake?” Levi muttered to himself.

He looked at his heart. The Black Snake Seed was even more lifelike now. It circled Levi’s heart, spiraling and coiling around it without stopping.

In front of the powerful Level 9 Black Snake Seed, the other Life Seeds paled in comparison, unable to look directly at the Black Snake Seed.

Levi opened his proficiency panel.

[Black Snake Breathing Technique: Level 9 (Maximum, breakthrough available, current progress 0/7), Special Effect: Black Scale (Gas)]

The Transcendent Defense effect had been upgraded to a new impact, Black Scale.

“Black Scale: A scale formed from powerful black gas. The more solid the scale, the stronger the defense. Black Scale is divided into three stages: Gas, Liquid, and Solid. The higher the level, the stronger the defense..”
