Witch: Accumulate Experience Through The Knight Breathing Technique

Chapter 1324: The Blood Demon Falls (1)

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Astral World, Void Ocean.

On the battlefield, streaks of light flew to both sides, making way for the oncoming bull.

Accompanied by a forceful, mountain-crushing momentum that shattered the heavens and earth, some angels who couldn’t dodge in time were directly shattered by the bull, their remnants dissipating into the Void Ocean.

The unsuspecting insectoid army was trampled, leaving a wide swath of destruction.

The angels, watching the swiftly retreating bull, couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

“Unknowingly, another ten thousand years have passed, and the righteous Creno Ode has circled the Astral World once again…”

“Did you see the serpent on its horns? It looked like Al Varado.”

“Yes, the Hidden Serpent, the Serpent of Forgetfulness… It’s said to be one of the more peculiar star beasts, a being as powerful as a god, yet it always manages to go unnoticed, lacking any presence whatsoever.”

“How unfortunate, to have been killed by Creno Ode.”

“Still, thanks to Creno Ode, we’ve gained some breathing room.”

The angels and divine servants plunged back into the battlefield, fighting tirelessly for their gods, until death.

In the Sea of Ruins, the bull, which ran eternally in a straight line, held a world within its eyes. Inside, a figure was communicating with their Astral Soul.

“In this multidimensional plane, there are still star speakers who can summon my Astral Soul. Interesting… It seems that after the astral world’s destruction of the Starforger plane, some lucky ones managed to escape. If it weren’t for Al Varado’s betrayal of our divine palace, the powerful Starforger civilization wouldn’t have been annihilated by the gods.”

People thought that the Hidden Serpent was accidentally killed by Creno Ode, but it was not so.

It was intentional.

As one of the oldest beings in the divine palace, Creno Ode ran endlessly around the Astral World, smashing all the evil, betrayal, and darkness encountered along the way.

This was his star nature, his path of righteousness!

Creno Ode was curious how far the star speaker could go.

“Weak star speaker, I await your return in the Astral World!”

…

Dark Ancient Tower, Fifth Layer, Southwest of Io Continent, Outer Sea Region.

Thousands of miles from Dragon Palace Island, on a volcanic island.

At this moment, the Blood Demon Tower Master floated high in the sky, gazing into the far distance.

Just now, in the distance, a faintly visible white beam pierced the heavens and earth.

The distance was too great to see what had happened clearly.

In fact, flying there would take some time.

“Could it be the emergence of a rare treasure?” the Blood Demon Tower Master muttered to himself.

Eight years ago, during the chaos when the black beast tide hit the Nine Cities Alliance, he had snatched the Dead Soul Date Tree.

Afterward, he came to this isolated outer sea region.

Here, it was extremely safe. This desolate place, where not even birds visited, was devoid of black beasts, let alone other wizards.

Of course, the opportunities here were also pitifully scarce.

Twenty-three years had passed since he obtained the Cry of the Cicada.

During this time, his cultivation had advanced beyond that of a senior fifth-circle wizard, but he was still far from achieving fifth-circle Perfection.

“It’s rare to encounter the emergence of a possible rare treasure. It would be a shame not to investigate.”

“But, if there’s any risk, my oddities and the Dead Soul Date Tree would be lost.”

“What should I do?”

The Blood Demon Tower Master constantly questioned himself.

Should he continue cultivating steadily, waiting for the ancient tower to close so he could return to the Wizard World and achieve fifth-circle Perfection? Or should he take a risk and investigate the phenomenon?

“This extraordinary phenomenon might indicate the birth of a powerful treasure, perhaps even an oddity above the Morning Star-level.”

His expression was hesitant, his mind torn.

“With such an opportunity before me, how can I be so cowardly? Even with the assistance of the Cry of the Cicada, the probability of advancing to the primordial soul is still low and fraught with danger. If I could obtain more oddities or treasures, it would surely be more secure.”

“I already possess seven great talents, and my spiritual force is nearing eight hundred! With such strength, even top-tier geniuses might not be my match. Moreover, the innate spells I practice are primarily for survival. Even if there is a risk, as long as it’s not from a sixth-circle being, I should be able to escape.”

“Besides, I still have the secret technique from the Holy Book of Blood to call upon divine aid.”

Reassuring himself continuously, the Blood Demon Tower Master made his decision.

He would take one last risk!

“I swear, after this, I will wash my hands of all this and become a good person, never risking my life again!”

With his resolve steeled, the Blood Demon Tower Master transformed into a streak of blood and sped towards the source of the phenomenon.

A life lived on the edge needs no explanation!

…

Dragon Palace Island.

Levi, having consumed a spiritual force recovery potion, was meditating.

“If summoning an Astral Soul is possible when the Strength Rune reaches 100%, could the same be true for the Chariot Rune at 100%? For instance, summoning a chariot to crush my enemies or carry me away?”

Recently, he had been preoccupied with post-fifth-circle matters and hadn’t had the chance to learn new runes.

Levi opened the Book of Starforge Runes and began studying new runes.

So far, he had learned Strength, Chariot, Hermit, and Lovers, which represented strength, speed, invisibility, and luck, respectively.

He continued flipping through the pages until he reached a new one, depicting a complex, constellation-like rabbit.
