Chapter 3019: Chapter 616: Joy of Harvest
War is unpredictable.
How difficult is it to triumph over a stronger foe?
For the Age History Book, these deaths and injuries might just be cold figures on a page after ten thousand years, but for the Nora Wan Clan, these cannot be forgotten.
On the Nightmare side.
This battle annihilated a total of 51 Monarchs, with 7 being killed solely by the Dusk Palace Master, and 10 with assistance, totaling 17, comprising one-third.
Nora’s ace, worthy of the name.
Nine-level Nightmare Overlords, as many as 455 fell. Among them, 50 were slain by Levi’s summoned creatures like the Shadow Dragon Group and the Blood Battle Spirit, accounting for one-ninth.
Such heavy losses.
Without an epoch passing, Nightmare cannot recover.
As Sauron promised to the Netherworld Ancestor, this battle will be a significant turning point on Nora’s path of rise, the most important day in the history of the Nora Civilization.
On the Abyss side.
This battle annihilated a total of 15 ten-level demons.
Among them, the Dusk Palace Master single-handedly killed demons of the seven major elements, totaling 10, including Surgard, the Shadow Demon Queen, and the Lord of Earthquakes.
The Gondor Three Heroes managed to take out 1 in an opportunistic, out-level strike.
The Primordial Demon Lord killed 2 by himself, including the Furious Monarch.
The other 2 were driven back to support Nora and were slain at the ten-level.
Level 9 demons, 111 were killed.
Overall, the Abyss suffered much less damage.
After all, the main enemy in this battle was the Nightmare.
Overall, in this battle, Nora minimized the loss of ten-levels, seizing the opportunity opened by the Dusk Palace Master to slay a total of 66 ten-level big enemies!
The Dusk Palace Master alone killed 17 by himself.
Counting the assistance, he killed a total of 27!
This kind of record, in the ten-level realm.
Deserves the evaluation of "unprecedented and unparalleled."
At the 2300th year of the Blood Battle, Edmund delivered a speech on the Tower of Heaven, proclaiming to the world about this unprecedented battle where the weak prevailed over the strong.
In the speech, naturally, the Dusk Palace Master was mentioned multiple times.
With his own power, he averted a crisis.
If not for his outstanding performance, Nora’s battle would surely have been lost.
Everyone understands that when Lord Emmon steps down, the new Grand Council Chairman to take the stage will inevitably be the much-anticipated "Dusk Palace Master."
As of now, he has not yet ascended to a legendary status.
But his prestige is enough to match Edmund’s.
Everyone awaits the day he steps into legend.
...
On the Ancient Dragon Continent.
Levi felt somewhat heavy-hearted after reading the post-war statistics.
In this battle, the Ancient Dragon Continent also lost quite a few people, including several talented individuals, as well as some offspring of higher echelon members; top-level talents were also among the fallen.
Among them, one was Windwalker Lisa, whom he had brought out from the ancient tower years ago, a student of the Wind Witch.
She had just recently advanced to the eighth-circle and met with misfortune while leading the battle group to support other battlefields, devoured alive by demons, leaving no remains.
The Wind Witch was deeply sorrowful.
Life and death are unpredictable; this battle’s scale and variables far exceeded previous ones. In ordinary wars, the Ancient Dragon Continent’s trump cards would have generally fared well.
The descendants of the Eighteen Riders also had some casualties.
What made Levi feel uncomfortable was that the retired Snow Dragon Knight and Pheasant Knight also met their end, likewise falling in other battlefields.
This was the first time original members of the Eighteen Riders perished. War is not child’s play, and Nora will face even more arduous and severe challenges ahead, with more departures inevitable.
Even though Levi had many methods, in such a war, there was no way to duplicate himself to save them. They must elevate their strength—that is the key.
In this battle, the Ancient Dragon Continent had over a hundred Level 6 or above strong individuals perish. Levi ordered that the deceased be given a proper burial, and their families compensated.
As for mortals, they suffered few deaths or injuries since they had no impact on the war and were well-protected inside Star Castle.
After putting away the heavy list of fatalities, Levi instructed the organizations to accelerate the post-war reconstruction and recovery, readying for the new war that could come at any time.
He soared to White Emperor Sky.
Underneath the white imperial star, terrifying auras were suppressed.
"Dusk Palace Master, quickly release us!"
"We, the Four Great Calamities, are high-level Nightmare figures. If you kill us, the Master of Horror will avenge us."
"Return my Sword of World Destruction!"
A group of demons and Monarchs continued to clamor.
Clearly, they were ancient beings that had lived for billions of years, but in the face of death, their demeanor and composure were completely overshadowed by the legendary wizards who had only lived for ten thousand years.
This is what is called a giant, Levi mocked internally.
Physically born powerful, yet incredibly fragile inside.
"Red Land Calamity Monarch and Deep Cold Demon King can be used as raw materials for refining a legendary artifact for the Holy Infant’s future... Skyfire Monarch, Ghost Wind Dominator, and Master of Deep Diving can allow Gandaph to craft his own Body Refining Artifact by combining materials from [All Saint Kings Relics], and he just needs to hunt down an earth element demon to refine Chaos. The crystals and materials of the Sealed Sovereign contain decent spatial power for refining supreme treasures and divine weapons... As for the other ten-levels, they will all become raw materials for me to refine a Chaos Artifact."
Levi meticulously arranged these war prisoners.
Apart from their bodies, he had quite a few gains from this battle.
The first was the Four Disasters Sword and the Black Coffin Illusion Device. Due to being shattered, they were fed to the Seven Treasures, which was still digesting them and would soon transform into a supreme treasure.
The second was two ten-level Magic Tools.
They were the [Shadow Whip] and the [Sky-shattering Worm Armor].
These treasures came from the Shadow Demon Queen and the Lord of Earthquakes.
The former was still very complete and of good quality. Levi planned to modify it as the "Treasure of the Sect" for the Shadow School of Thought on the Ancient Dragon Continent. The latter was shattered by Levi, and he intended to combine it with some ten-level materials to reforge the [Golden Dragon Heavenly Shield].
The third was a top-level treasure, [Sword of World Destruction].
Levi was still researching this item, intending to shatter and remelt it, integrating it with [Crimson Dragon Slash] to reforge it into the strongest divine weapon, serving as his main weapon.
Oh, right, the battle also lost a supreme treasure, [Sunset Moonfall Halberd], with almost no possibility of repair, so Levi fed it to the Seven Treasures.
Among other spoils of war was a piece of Divine Iron, [Black Demon God Gold].
This item is quite compatible with the divine weapon [Invisible Shadow] and can be reforged. His Bloodline Divine Weapon corresponding to the ten-level Breathing Technique can each advance to the ten-level after this battle.
The Nightmare Helmet and Undying Armor materials also required no worries. Some Nightmare Creature Material could be obtained from the congress, and suitable Divine Iron sought, with which they could be reforged.
The other spoils of war were invaluable and will not be elaborated further.
This battle also had considerable hidden gains.
The Blood Battle Spirit advanced to the Level 10 Middle Stage; the Shadow Army underwent another cleansing with the remaining being elite soldiers, possessing over 500 monsters and 56 demon kings.
With the help of others, Levi claimed quite a few kills, bringing his Demon Emperor count to a stunning 30, although only 2 had ten-level combat power.
One is the [Old Sea Dominator], Level 10 Early Stage.
The other is the [Holy War Monarch], Level 10 Early Stage. The Dusk Sun God, who was killed earlier, did not give birth to a shadow as it only lost an incarnation.
The remaining 28 Demon Emperors were still at the level 9 realm.
To elevate them to level ten would require massive resources, and Levi’s current spiritual force wasn’t enough to support so many at the ten-level.
"To achieve all at Level 10, I must take the initiative to invade the Giant World, leveraging the vast resources there to nurture my own army."
