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.167Please respect copyright.PENANAgtlJqoe6FO
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.167Please respect copyright.PENANAhugDuOqtMM
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."167Please respect copyright.PENANANbalqYVN7y
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."167Please respect copyright.PENANANPg1pz4kdL
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."167Please respect copyright.PENANAP8j52SCG4a
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."167Please respect copyright.PENANABP1vMGzotI
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."167Please respect copyright.PENANA4rgY26IuKU
Novelius interjected, "Then what's the difference?"167Please respect copyright.PENANA3e7ttZQb9a
Kaipo's eyes narrowed. "I am simply better."167Please respect copyright.PENANAOsrqTA0VeH
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.167Please respect copyright.PENANAoPtexOiZM6
Orion recognized him immediately. "Levi," he whispered, a hint of aggravation in his voice.167Please respect copyright.PENANAXHSShc6Iep
Levi's voice thundered down from above. "How dare you run from our battle, Orion."167Please respect copyright.PENANAxnIQmecFLy
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."167Please respect copyright.PENANAFL4nGEBzaU
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.167Please respect copyright.PENANANVBt2ZfCwG
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.167Please respect copyright.PENANA4wD1DhAOBA
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.167Please respect copyright.PENANAXh91b9T9tW
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.167Please respect copyright.PENANAhc54VEDHZG
