Chapter 119: Level 7 Blood Whale, Black Snake Transformation!

Levi held the Core of the Undead inside the shelter and chanted an incantation.
Levi could control two living dead with the level 2 Seal of Hell.
“Lonely Soul of Hell, I grant you a new life.”
The Core of the Undead slowly fused into Yatos’ skull.
The mysterious power filled his body.
Blue ghost fire burned in his empty eye sockets.
It was more like an icy blue frosty aura.
Perhaps because Snow Demons were ice-type Undead, the Core of the Undead that was born had such an effect.
Levi looked at Yatos’ body which was as sturdy as Magic Shark, and exclaimed, “Magic Shark, come and meet your friend, Magic Shark.”
If there were four of them in the future, they would be the transcendence version of the Four Heavenly Kings.
“Let me see if you two brothers can fight.”
Levi had the two brothers fight hand-to-hand. The two muscular monsters collided with each other, and black gas surrounded them.
Both were strength-type grand knights, and their strength was about the same.
They were slightly inferior to Silver Mountain of the Northern Seven Flying Cavalry and to the veteran grand knight, the Duke of Montenegro.
However, with the two brothers and Levi’s strength and trump cards, it was still uncertain who would win against the Duke of Montenegro.
“Of course, I can’t do it now. I’ll have to wait until I have the power of a grand knight before considering taking revenge on the Duke of Montenegro.”
The Duke of Montenegro had been busy with the war against the Southern Alliance, so he could not care less about Levi. For a big shot like him, there were more important things to do than killing Levi.
Levi took this opportunity to develop quietly.
Although he already had the strength to stand at the top of this era, he lacked the corresponding popularity and influence.
This was exactly what Levi wanted to achieve.
He did not want to be a dead legend. He just wanted to live well.
In the Month of Northern Wind of the year 1010 of the Holy Brilliance Calendar, the flames of war that the Duke of Montenegro had started had already engulfed the entire country.
After forming the Southern Coalition Army, they finally stopped the Duke of Montenegro’s unstoppable attack. The other dukes who had been neutral all this while also joined the battle. After learning about the Duke of Montenegro’s ambitions, they had no choice but to act.
However, not long after, these dukes left the stage.
Something unexpected happened.
First, a Duke in the western region suddenly died in his home. His death was terrifying, and an evil spirit was suspected of attacking him.
Not long after, another Duke of the South suddenly went crazy on the battlefield. He attacked randomly and injured his army and the Black Mountain Army. After that, he disappeared.
An evil spirit had also attacked him.
For a moment, everyone was in a state of panic.
These two dukes were both grand knights.
Furthermore, they were not weak. Their breathing techniques were first-class as one of the most powerful Duke families.
Such an existence still died or went wild from the attacks of evil spirits.
Moreover, they had all been fighting the Duke of Montenegro not long after.
This did not seem like a coincidence.
Only then did everyone remember that the Emerald King and Knight Edward also died a strange death.
Gradually, rumors started to spread.
“The Duke of Montenegro controls the power of a terrifying evil spirit. He will let the evil spirit invade anyone who dares to disobey his will and torture them to death!”
Even the grand knights would be killed.
No one could imagine what kind of existence could stop the evil spirit and the powerful Duke of Montenegro.
In the Southern Coalition Army camp, there were frequent rumors of the invasion of evil spirits.
However, the Montenegro Mountain Army did not seem to be affected at all.
This undoubtedly confirmed everyone’s guess.
The Duke of Montenegro was now known as the Devil Duke.
Someone said the Duke of Montenegro had made a deal with the legendary Devil of Hell, who bewitched the people’s hearts. So he launched an unjust invasion.
Others said that the devil wants to create chaos and fear in the human world through evil spirits and eventually turn the human world into hell. The soldiers of the Southern Coalition Army were in a constant state of panic.
Now that the evil spirit and Snow Demons had appeared, everything sounded logical, even the Devil Lord.
The unknown was the most terrifying.
Evil spirits, to most soldiers, were an unknown terror.
Most would not even know they were attacked by one until they died.
The Duke of Montenegro neither acknowledged nor denied the title of “Devil Duke.” He continued to do his own thing, recruiting more troops and investing more resources into the war.
Since ancient times, most of the battles between nobles were small fights. It was nothing money could not solve. The conflicts between the two parties were generally not trivial.
This time, everyone could tell that the Duke of Montenegro was serious.
Those captured soldiers would surrender, fight with their former comrades or die!
The nobles condemned the Duke of Montenegro for his crimes, but that was all they did. The Duke’s power made them feel terrified.
After that, the Giant Iron Crocodile Arion family joined the Montenegro Mountain Coalition Army, and the Iron Knights personally went to the south.
This seemed to be a signal. Half of the nobles in the north had chosen to join the Duke of Montenegro’s coalition army in just a short month.
The nobles in the north could see that the nobles and royal families in the south would not send troops to rescue them unless they saw Snow Demons invading their territory. Everyone knew the severity of the matter, but no actions had been taken.
With the speed at which Snow Demons moved southward, it was only a matter of time before the Northern Territory was invaded.
Therefore, the nobles of the north had also thought things through. Since the
South was unwilling to send troops, the people of the North moved to the South to seek refuge. They would join the South in waiting for the arrival of Snow Demons.
This was the product of their ignorance and unwillingness to help.
Snow Demons were Undead creatures. Unless they were completely killed, their numbers would increase as they continued to move south.
Everyone would be finished when the Evernight Kingdom fell.
Levi’s heart tightened when he heard the rumors about the “Devil Duke” in Black Water Valley.
“Could the Duke of Montenegro have mastered the power of the Undead?” “D*mn it!”
“Even a top-tier grand knight died at the hands of an evil spirit. The Duke of
Montenegro has such a trump card?” “How did he prevent the evil spirits from attacking him?”
These were the doubts in Levi’s heart.
This time, he had steeled his heart. He would not act rashly until he became a grand knight.
The three brothers and Harris were on sentry duty, accompanied by Magic Shark and his living dead companion, whom Levi named “Demon Mountain.” Levi hid in the shelter to cultivate.
His role as a lord in the Black Water Valley territory was getting smaller.
To cultivate, Levi became more hands-off.
His status was similar to that of a shareholder in a modern company. He only needed to listen to the butler’s report every once in a while.
At the end of the Month of Northern Wind, inside Levi’s body, the giant Blood Whale floating above his heart opened its bloody mouth and swallowed the water. Boom!
The giant whale’s body expanded.
After that, as the thick blood whale black gas entered Levi’s limbs and organs, he stretched his body and let out a breath of turbid air.
“Level 7• ”
[Blood Whale Breathing Technique: Level 7 (1/50000), Special Effect: Top-tier Endurance.]
“Top-tier Endurance is the limit of a human. If I break through this barrier, I can become an almost inhuman existence like a grand knight.”
“Top-tier Defense, Top-tier Endurance, Top-tier Strength, Top-tier Speed. Four top-tier attributes. The embryonic form of an all-rounded warrior has been completed.”
The Blood Whale Breathing Technique was an excellent breathing technique with 56 types of tiny miniature humans. There was no limit after level 7; it could still be further cultivated. This made Levi overjoyed.
After all, endurance-type breathing techniques were relatively rare, and more troublesome to break the limits. The most common breathing technique that was the easiest to break through was strength -based. “I can’t be complacent. Continue cultivating!”
Levi did not show any arrogance or slackness.
He knew very well that this world where supernatural forces existed was full of hidden dangers.
What he had seen was only the tip of the iceberg.
Snow Demons and evil spirits were only at the lowest levels of the Dark Wave.
They could already pose huge threats to powerful knights and even grand knights.
Even if those powerful Dark Wave creatures did not destroy the world, they could destroy a city with just a thought.
He was still too weak!
He needed strength to live a long life and explore the world. There was no strongest, only stronger!
Whether it was a knight, wizard, or animal, as long as it could make Levi stronger, he would not reject it.
The Black Water Valley was covered in snow and ice as the winter month arrived. A thick layer of ice formed on the Black Water River.
Besides the trade with the Earl of Silver Mountain, Levi spent all his time cultivating the Black Snake Breathing Technique. With enough Black Snake
Secret Medicine, he finally managed to reach the limit of level 7 of the Black Snake Breathing Technique before the new year arrived.
[Black Snake Breathing Technique: Level 7 (Maximum, breakthrough available), Special Effect: Top-tier Defense]
At Levi’s heart, the Black Snake Seed stood tall and upright, like a giant python circling the world. The Black Snake Seed at the peak of level 7 was no longer a vague snake-shaped mist. Levi could see the imaginary scales and the powerful snake body.
“It’s getting increasingly real,” Levi muttered.
He looked at the painting hanging on the wall of the shelter.
The Black Snake, holding a candle, coiled majestically in the painting, illuminating all directions.
The current Black Snake Seed was like a miniature version of the Black Snake with a Candle.
“A knight needs to advance to a grand knight. He needs to use Life Seeds to undergo the first transformation. After this transformation, the quantity and quality of black gas will upgrade. He can release the black gas. He can even separate the body from the enemy. He can also wrap black gas around the weapon if he has cultivated enough. He can even transform the black gas into a weapon. For example, Pale Shadow has a very good grasp of the black gas. He can release the black gas into a ghost claw and even condense the black gas into a dagger. Shoot it out to kill the enemy.”
“As for Magic Shark and Yatos, their application of the black gas is relatively shallow. They can only wrap black gas around their weapons for combat, which is much worse than Pale Shadow.”
“From the information I obtained in the Shining Tavern, a combat technique uses black gas. However, this combat technique is rare. Even the Earl of Silver Mountain hasn’t mastered a specialized black gas combat technique.”
“If I want to obtain the combat techniques of the black gas, I might have to learn from Pale Shadow.”
“Now, let’s begin the transformation.”
Levi looked at the Black Snake Seed in his heart.
The next moment, countless black gas emerged from its body and enveloped it, turning it into a black cocoon.
“Come on, let me see where the Black Snake’s limit is!”
