As the pale light filtered through the high windows of the ancient tomb, Levi expressed his gratitude to those who had helped bring him back from the brink. Despite their warnings that he was not yet ready to rise, Levi pushed himself up from the ceremonial slab, determined to regain his footing.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2yPSR1IvO
"Levi, you need to rest," one of the healers insisted, reaching out to support him, but Levi gently waved them off, stepping towards Mike and Zara who were watching anxiously.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSLKz40bKQ
Seeing him on his feet, a mixture of relief and joy washed over Mike and Zara. "I can't believe you're actually walking," Mike said, a broad smile spreading across his face.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEfirf60yy
"Guess it takes more than that to keep me down," Levi responded with a weak but spirited grin. The room lightened a little with their banter, but the mood soon shifted as Mike delivered the news.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBxmtT3OYD
"Levi, your Time and Weapon Jewel... they were taken by Nocturne," Mike said, his voice heavy with concern.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxjygd6tHA
Confusion clouded Levi's features. "But I thought I had defeated him," he murmured, trying to piece together the fragments of his last memory before darkness had claimed him.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJHbhtB1DV
"It seems he had just enough left in him to come back and take you down after all," Zara added softly, her eyes sympathetic.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAFX43tfYH
Realization dawned on Levi, and the gravity of his defeat settled in. He was silent for a moment, processing the information. "Where did they go?" he finally asked, his voice laced with urgency.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5THE8jD6x3
Before anyone could answer, Kanju entered the room, his expression grave. "A woman intervened and took the Jewels from Nocturne and disappeared," he reported.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66dLbEKbnd
Levi, Mike, and Zara exchanged looks, a mutual understanding passing between them. "Astralith," they said almost in unison, recognizing the style and audacity of the act.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDqRdlcKl1
Frustration and anger flared in Levi's eyes as he clenched his fists. "We need to go after her, now," he stated, his tone brooking no argument.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgYbWoJUGH
"Levi, it's too late for that," Kanju interjected. "She left as quickly as she appeared. There's no tracking her now."233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRb9ZtArRD0
Levi's frustration grew, but before he could respond, Queen Isolde joined the conversation, her voice calm yet filled with concern. "Levi, I warned you not to confront the Zenith Order alone. Their abilities are unlike anything we've seen—unnatural and formidable."233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCbFYZhLAW
Levi turned to face her, his frustration evident. "Do they have a hideout? A base of operations?" he asked, hoping for some lead to pursue.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7xwyay7jI
"We don't know," Queen Isolde admitted. "The Zenith Order is elusive, and their movements unpredictable."233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiXDAU4Qw6
With a collective sigh, the group made their way back to the royal hall to regroup and plan their next steps. The atmosphere was tense, each mind busy with thoughts of lost jewels, shadowy foes, and the looming threat that still hung over them.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTyNAAiX69
