Witch: Accumulate Experience Through The Knight Breathing Technique

Chapter 1989: 0437 Demon Extermination Shuttle, Double Dragons End the War! (Large chapter, seeking monthly tickets and subscriptions)

Within the mast sailing ship.

Levi’s figure froze.

He turned around, and the brawny centaur giant was still seated with his eyes closed, deep in thought.

“I’m Hao Shan. I heard about you from Di Gao and Mosi.”

Levi immediately understood.

This centaur was with the black-armored burly man and the minotaur—a team, most likely.

Well, fantastic, they’ve formed a squad to come find me…

Surely, this has something to do with the Undying Nether Emperor’s aura emanating from me.

Hao Shan said:

“Wait for me one day.”

Levi thought about it for a moment and then found a spot in the corner of the plaza to sit upright.

After the devils in the plaza dispersed.

Hao Shan strode over to Levi with earth-shaking steps.

Levi said:

“Senior, did you prepare this wizard tower specifically for me?”

Hao Shan replied:

“Correct. You might find this useful, yes?”

Levi nodded.

“Thank you for your kindness, senior. What does this junior need to do in return?”

In this world, no goodwill exists without ulterior motives or objectives.

Hao Shan undoubtedly has his reasons.

Levi debated whether to return the wizard tower to Hao Shan.

To avoid incurring debts he couldn’t repay or entangling relationships he couldn’t handle.

Hao Shan burst into laughter.

“Young one, don’t overthink it. I won’t ask anything of you—you don’t have the power to help me anyway. I just heard about your extraordinary nature from those colleagues and wanted to introduce myself in advance. This wizard tower is something I stumbled upon in Hell, seemingly left behind by a School of Death wizard named Black Soul Demon Witch. A journal belonging to him is included as well; here, take it.”

Levi understood.

Hao Shan simply used the wizard tower as an excuse to strike up conversation.

On the surface, he seemed affable, but he was more cunning and socially astute than the previous two encounters.

This made Levi even more cautious internally.

Nevertheless, he accepted the journal and skimmed through it.

“Black Soul Demon Witch Valon.”

The name triggered Levi’s memory.

“Soul Drawing Demon Wizard Wagner.”

This individual was the very creator of the **Book of the Undead** and **Book of Ten Thousand Spirits**.

But according to what Levi learned from the Immortal Banyan Dragon, Wagner had already been killed.

Levi wasn’t sure about the connection between Wagner and Valon.

In any case, both belonged to the School of Death—perhaps, like Levi, they each had multiple duplications.

Levi pocketed the journal, planning to examine it upon his return from the Dark Ancient Tower.

He expressed his gratitude:

“Thank you, senior.”

Hao Shan replied:

“You’re welcome.”

Next.

Hao Shan and Levi discussed matters related to the Undying Nether Emperor.

As Levi had suspected, Hao Shan had been one of the Undying Nether Emperor’s subordinates in the past.

However, since the Undying Nether Emperor’s reincarnation and departure from the Underworld.

He, along with Di Gao, Mosi, and other departmental colleagues, had been reassigned to a different Nether Emperor.

This new Nether Emperor was far inferior to the Undying Nether Emperor in terms of personal charisma and overall capabilities.

Thus, Hao Shan and his brothers—as well as other colleagues—spent their days longing for the return of their old leader to the Underworld.

But no one knew where the Undying Nether Emperor currently resided.

Due to the black-armored burly man’s accidental encounter with Levi, they learned about Levi’s cultivation path, which was related to the Nether Emperor and assumed it might have something to do with their former leader.

This trio thus came to Levi to inquire about any news of the Undying Nether Emperor.

The problem was, Levi had no idea.

Hao Shan sighed and said:

“Ah well, we can only hope that us old-timers live to see the Nether Emperor’s return.”

They were civil servants of the Underworld, possessing Level 8 power and lifespans far exceeding those of most beings in the Multidimensional Plane, even among longevity species—but they were still mortal…

Regardless, having secured a connection with Levi by offering an item of little value found accidentally in Hell, Hao Shan considered it worthwhile.

High above.

The Underworld Source River roared endlessly, waves surging.

On the mast sailing ship, Hao Shan gazed at Levi with a faint smile, waved his hand, and disappeared.

“If you come across any news about the Nether Emperor, let me know.”

His voice echoed within Levi’s mind.

Levi exhaled in relief.

Even if he did know something, he couldn’t disclose it to these people recklessly.

Who could say what motives might truly lie behind their inquiries?

Levi had no intention of getting entangled in grand conspiracies or disputes.

As for the wizard tower, he decided to keep it—for this was something he had spent a fortune to acquire.

…

In the human realm.

Off the coast of Ancient Dragon Continent.

A group of Spiny Pufferfish Demons stealthily emerged from the seawater.

The Spiny Pufferfish Demon—a type of lower demon—was weak, with most at Level 1 or Level 2 strength. They were typical Abyss cannon fodder, primarily populating abyssal layers dominated by water worlds.

Their flattened bodies appeared almost two-dimensional, and coupled with masterful disguise techniques, they could hide underwater, remaining undetected. When entering combat mode, they immediately puffed up, spewing toxic water and launching venomous spikes in attack.

On the coastline, a patrol unit adorned with fiery flame dragon emblems inspected the area in red mecha.

Suddenly.

A Spiny Pufferfish Demon was swept ashore by the tides.

“Swoosh!”

Venomous spikes transformed into dark streaks, shooting out rapidly!

Duang!

Metallic clashing resounded loudly.

A Red Flame Mecha blocked the venomous spike.

“Enemy attack—it’s demons!”

Boom boom boom!

Flashes of red burst forth instantaneously.

Cannons detonated indiscriminately across the surface of the sea!

Torrents of water surged skyward.

The previously calm-looking sea suddenly oozed eerie black water.

Dense swarms of Spiny Pufferfish Demons leapt out from beneath the waves, forming a black mass.

“It’s Spiny Pufferfish Demons! Call for reinforcements—there are over a thousand of them!”
