Forum:LV 8 Horus

I have a question that I am confused on, that or am overthinking it.

I have Level Up!, Level Modulation, Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV 6, and Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV 8 for the sake of this example.

I know LV 8 Horus is a Nomi monster that can be turned into a Semi-Nomi with Level Modulation supplied that you use LV 6 Horus to Special Summon LV 8 Horus beforehand. Now my question is; if I apply Level Up! to LV 6 Horus to bring out LV 8 Horus, and then LV 8 Horus later gets sent to the Graveyard, can I use Level Modulation to bring LV 8 Horus back to the field from the Graveyard?

Part of me say that I cannot do that since Level Modulation bypasses the Summoning conditions, in this case the ones listed on LV 6 Horus.

Here is the first bullet for Level Modulation's Card Ruling that supports my thought above:

"An "LV" monster that normally cannot be Special Summoned except by the method in its text CANNOT be Special Summoned from the Graveyard with "Level Modulation" unless it has been previously Special Summoned by the correct procedure. The "ignore the Summoning conditions" text allows for these monsters to be Special Summoned only after they have been properly Summoned by their own effect. This applies to "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8", "Armed Dragon LV7", "Silent Swordsman LV7", "Silent Magician LV8", and "Winged Kuriboh LV10"."

The other part of me, my doubt, say that I can follow through with Level Up! on LV 6 Horus for LV 8 Horus and Level Modulation on LV 8 Horus to resurrect it. The reason for my doubt is that I lack any source (other than this awesome wikia) for any official/tournament ruling opinion.

This topic is only regarding the combination of Level Up! and Level Modulation to bring back LV 8 Horus with Level Modulation such as using a Monster Reborn on a properly Fusion summoned/Synchro summoned/Ritual Summoned Fusion/Synchro/Ritual Monster so that LV 8 Horus won't be useless sitting in the Graveyard since it is a Nomi monster with the ability to become a Semi-Nomi through the use of Level Modulation.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.
