Kaipo stood face-to-face with Novachro, his anger barely contained. "Why?" he demanded. "The inhabitants of the Areala Universe did nothing to you. Why decide to erase them all?"132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuB70KrectD
Novachro's smile remained fixed, a cold, malevolent grin. "I needed a way to get your attention, Kaipo. So that's what I decided to do."132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLww5KNoaH
Kaipo's eyes narrowed. "We were already headed here. There was no need for such senseless destruction."132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLzJmBk53x
Novachro chuckled darkly. "I guess I just felt like doing it then, if I already had your attention."132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcZAQv6xdm
Kaipo's fury simmered beneath the surface, but he kept his composure. "We've come for the eight Jewels. I can sense them below us, very far down."132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedhBMxqtgX
Novachro's smile widened. "You're right about the Jewels. They're stored ten levels below us, each heavily guarded by the strongest mages of Solara, and the five universes on our side."132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCcVDpA01x
Kaipo's eyes remained locked on Novachro's. "Tell me about these leaders."132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVhKEzqSuH
Novachro leaned back in his throne, enjoying the moment. "The bottom five levels are guarded by the leaders of each of the five universes. They're the strongest mages of their respective universes."132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPpvUggQ9X
He began to list them:
Level 6 - Lyra, Mistress of Shadows (The Eclipsing Realm)132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzsGo6DSqc

Level 8 - Pyrrhus, Flame Sovereign (The Infernal Dominion)132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAQ1bEgp5H
Powers: Mastery over fire, creation of infernos, and flame-based regeneration.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuK32Ebeft

Kaipo looked back at the High Mages and nodded. "Follow the plan. Head down and retrieve the Jewels."132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSf6lYDys8
The High Mages began to move towards the first level, but suddenly, walls closed in around them, locking them in the room. Kaipo turned back to Novachro, his eyes blazing with determination.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjTj05gv18
"Do you really think these walls can hold us?" Kaipo asked, his voice dripping with defiance.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8v4Fo0BAe
Novachro's smile faltered for a moment as Kaipo activated Essence Manifest: Phantom Escape. This Essence Manifest granted Kaipo unparalleled abilities to escape from any confinement or restraint, breaking out of the most secure prisons and traps. His form shimmered with an ethereal aura, his eyes glowing with a ghostly light.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18gmUfyyH4
Kaipo used the Specialty Technique, "Portal Creation," to create portals that transported the High Mages to the first level instantly. The shimmering portals opened before them, providing an immediate escape route.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnIclzblAC
Kaipo remained in the room alone with Novachro and the ten elders. Novachro's eyes glinted with interest. "How intriguing. Your ability... Essence Manifest, was it? I've seen nothing like it."
Kaipo's resolve hardened as he prepared for what was to come. The chapter ended with the tension thick in the air, the High Mages now on their quest to retrieve the Jewels, and Kaipo standing alone against Novachro and the ten elders.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZDpx44mD7
