Witch: Accumulate Experience Through The Knight Breathing Technique

Chapter 1163: Level 16! (2)

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Upon hearing this, Heidi was startled. She sighed and said, “Such a forbidden technique… No wonder you progressed so quickly. In this world, everything operates on Equivalent Exchange. Every gift from fate has already been secretly priced… Oh, and Fred, I forgot to mention, there’s no longer an Emerald Kingdom in the human realm. It’s now the Peacock Kingdom. I’m not sure if your family’s castle is still standing… Fryer?”

Heidi glanced at the elderly man resting against the wall.

He had passed away, looking peaceful.

She gently closed his eyes and placed his body into his storage bags.

“Rest well.” She returned to the makeshift shelter carved into the cliff and set up the array.

Her expression hesitated, conflicted. Eventually, she opened Fryer’s storage bags and retrieved a yellowed black ancient tome. The musty, decaying smell wafted out.

“The Necromancer’s Codex…”

She murmured to herself as she flipped through the forbidden technique Fryer had warned her against cultivating.

One month later, Heidi put away the black book.

“I’m sorry, Fred. I couldn’t resist delving into its teachings. Despite being forbidden, it significantly boosts my strength. I need to ensure my survival before returning safely to the human realm.”

Yes, she couldn’t resist studying its techniques.

It was a forbidden technique that sacrificed life force and longevity to swiftly elevate one’s power.

“As long as I avoid life-threatening situations, I won’t resort to this technique again. It’ll be fine,” she reassured herself.

Several days later, Heidi joined Illidan’s Team and returned triumphant.

Their exploration of Raging Wind Canyon yielded rich rewards.

Meanwhile, the Windrunner team ventured into Giant Axe Canyon and was annihilated… none survived. The infamous Death Wizard Bone King’s name once again struck fear into every wizard’s heart. From then on, no wizard dared to venture into Giant Axe Canyon.

Heidi’s face flushed with excitement and emotion. In her hand appeared a black heart.

“A Level 5 Night Demon’s Heart. Haha, this is the ingredient for refining the ‘Night Demon’s Eternal Darkness’ elixir. With this, advancing to the fifth-circle is within reach!”

Illidan’s Team stumbled upon a forbidden area in Raging Wind Canyon, awakening a sealed Level 5 Night Demon.

This Night Demon had supposedly been sealed here by ancient magi for millennia.

After countless millennia, its power had waned, and it was far less formidable than rumored.

Their team joined forces and killed it. She was forced to use the “Nine Deaths Secret Technique” recorded in “The Necromancer’s Codex,” which consumed a hundred years of her life force. Temporarily gaining the perfected strength of the fourth circle, she killed the Night Demon, astonishing everyone and obtaining the precious Heart of the Night Demon. Now, she is even honored by her team members as “Lord Heidi.”

“With this treasure, my journey to the ancient tower is complete. Now, I’ll find a safe place and lie low until the tower closes, fulfilling my promise to Fryer upon returning to the human realm. Then, I’ll await my advancement to the fifth circle! I must resist using the Nine-Deaths Secret Technique further; my remaining lifespan may not suffice for reaching the fifth circle!”

She sealed “The Necromancer’s Codex” in a box and placed it in her storage bags.

In the following days, she procured the necessary materials for her future cultivation at the market, then dismantled the shelter in preparation to depart.

As she stepped out, two streaks of purple light suddenly streaked across the sky.

“Hey, hey, so many wizards here,” a member of the Amethyst Race named Ban Gu chuckled.

“This should be interesting,” another Amethyst Race member named Ya Gu added.

Ban Gu and Ya Gu had been imprisoned for three years by the order keeper for causing a fish pond explosion.

For other wizards, this was an opportunity missed.

However, they were unconcerned. As members of the Amethyst Race, they had little interest in most of the resources here.

They only cared about devouring rare metal ores and hunting down wizards.

After being enslaved by wizards for so long, they were filled with anger and had no outlet.

Outside, there were many wizards, and over a dozen legendary wizards guarded them. They didn’t dare to act rashly.

However, in the ancient tower, they were fearless.

Their arrival naturally attracted the attention of the wizards below.

“This is a gathering of wizards. Leave now, or we can each cast a spell to kill you,” a wizard warned.

“That’s right,” another agreed.

Ban Gu and Ya Gu were undaunted. They opened their mouths and expelled a heap of storage bags, scattering them across the market.

The two Amethyst Giants charged into the group of wizards.

Various fourth-circle spells bombarded them!

“Put more effort into it. Are trying to tickle us?”

Boom!

In an instant, Ban Gu teleported in front of a fourth-circle wizard. His purple fist shattered the wizard’s force field, exploding his heart into a blood fog!

Meanwhile, Ya Gu descended from the sky, creating a hundred-meter-wide crater in the market.

“Hahaha, satisfying!”

Suddenly, a massive wave engulfed Ya Gu!

“Don’t grab things first. Deal with the enemies first before running away… There are so many of us, what are we afraid of?”

Heidi watched the chaotic scene among the wizards in disbelief.

Their numbers were twenty times greater than those of the wizards below. Even with two fifth-circle cultivators among them, they could hold their ground for a while. But what were these people up to?

After grabbing most of the storage bags, most of the wizards immediately activated their abilities and fled the market.

Some were resisting, but they didn’t seem to be using their full strength. They were just slacking.
