The battlefield echoed with the roars of conflict as Levi and Orion clashed in a titanic struggle. Orion sensed a shift in the air and murmured, "Junsei no Hadō." A colossal explosion erupted, ripping through the infinite magical barrier on the levels. Orion ascended rapidly, leaving the fight with Levi, who was momentarily out of sight.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgsTxU6XnE
As Orion reached the surface, Drew, Zara, Mike, Lyn, and Kaipo turned to see him. Suddenly, they all heard, “Kuroki Hōō no Saisei.” A pillar of dark flames erupted around him, and from the ashes, Novachro emerged, transformed into a more sinister form.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKwXzcKtUq
The High Mages stood in shock as Novachro's new form glowed with malevolent energy. "I was reckless," he admitted with a dark grin. "But now, I'm serious."215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmlOvYWsnH
In a blink, Novelius, Eryx, Thalia, and Damaris appeared beside Novachro and Orion. Novachro's laughter was menacing as he declared, "This is your end, High Mages."215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9SYHss41o
Orion stepped back, positioning himself to protect the Jewels. The battle was about to begin anew. Kaipo, now fully healed and with his arms restored, clapped his hands together and invoked, "Tamayasu."215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W2VB6m4D2
The final Shinigami, Tamayasu, materialized, enveloping the High Mages in a radiant aura. Their wounds healed, their energy restored to its peak. Novachro watched with a mixture of curiosity and contempt. "Such a powerful Essence Manifest you wield, Kaipo. I still wonder who possessed it before you."215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMQXI3ewp6
Kaipo answered, "A mage in the Land of Spade army had these abilities but could probably only wield one Shinigami at a time. Unlike him, I can wield them all."215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6s6ypwhSS
Novelius interjected, "Then what's the difference?"215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQsBrPrauY
Kaipo's eyes narrowed. "I am simply better."215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH5hQs5leD
Their conversation was abruptly cut off by a blinding beam of light shooting from the massive hole Orion had made. The beam pierced the sky, revealing a figure wielding a blade that shifted between radiant white and deep cosmic blue. Constellations and celestial patterns swirled around the blade, and the figure's form was enveloped in an aura of starlight and aether. His eyes shone with the brilliance of galaxies, exuding an overwhelming sense of cosmic power and divine authority.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99YuKVHcBc
Orion recognized him immediately. "Levi," he whispered, a hint of aggravation in his voice.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY4JgGMkgA
Levi's voice thundered down from above. "How dare you run from our battle, Orion."215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4aPsZqRWS
Orion responded, "My priorities shifted. I needed to protect the Jewels."
"You will regret that decision," Levi retorted. He turned his gaze to Kaipo. "Prepare yourself to receive the Jewels."215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc01EdZ2qp
Kaipo nodded. "I'll be waiting."
With a fierce determination, Levi unleashed Omni-Blitz on Novachro, Novelius, Orion, Eryx, Thalia, and Damaris. The relentless assault created afterimages of Levi, each one striking with lethal precision and speed. An invisible shield, a power revealed to be Novelius's, blocked all of Levi's attacks.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXeBwTVNns
But Lyn was already in motion. Teleporting through Novelius's shadow, he appeared beside him and used Shadowforge, creating a kunai named Kagekiri. Kagekiri could cut through any forcefield or boundary, regardless of its nature. Lyn's attack shattered Novelius's barrier and slashed through him, leaving him vulnerable.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhENF2iWyPI
Levi's Omni-Blitz rained down on their enemies, but Novachro acted quickly, locating Levi and striking with Shoku no Ken. Levi countered with his Blade of Eternity, the clash of their blades sending shockwaves through the battlefield. Despite his efforts, Levi was blown back into the ground.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGfE0PGGSV
The High Mages braced themselves as the battle raged on, the race to secure the Jewels for Kaipo growing ever more intense. The air was thick with the weight of their resolve, each side pushing their limits to claim victory.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgcKqn5MlY
