After the monumental battle had concluded, Levi, carrying the serene composure of a victorious warrior, approached Zara and Mike. With a motion of his hand, he released them from the "Eternal Stasis." As the temporal freeze lifted, he studied their conditions with a sharp gaze.72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAnSb72pzD
"Are you two alright?" Levi asked, his tone carrying a mix of concern and sternness.72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVPAgm7Bkm
Zara managed a weak laugh, brushing off the dust and debris from her clothes. "It could be worse," she joked, trying to lighten the mood despite the severity of their recent skirmish.72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiz3WdiAPQW
Levi offered them a hand, helping them to their feet. His expression softened slightly, but his eyes remained intensely focused. As they began walking back towards the castle, Levi's voice took on a serious note. "What really happened back there? Primordial Sovereign should have been no match for either of you, let alone both together."72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mLC6JJ4WK
Levi's words carried a weight that hinted at disappointment. He further elaborated, "You two could have handled Primordial Sovereign on your own. There was no need for it to become a two-on-one situation."72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKwBKvtLKP
Mike sighed, his gaze fixed on the ground as they walked. "It's my fault," he admitted. "I wanted to play around a bit. It’s been a while since we've had a fun fight."72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhhDidkKtT
Levi stopped in his tracks, turning to face Mike with a look of palpable anger. "We are the Mages everyone looks up to in the Areala Universe," he said sharply, his voice echoing slightly in the quiet aftermath of their battle. "We don’t have the luxury to play around on a mission as critical as this one."72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAcJhJc2AZ
His gaze then shifted between Zara and Mike, piercing and authoritative. "If you mess around again, it won't be the enemy that finishes you off. It will be me." His warning was clear, underlining the gravity of their responsibilities.72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFUpWkJ6A4
Zara and Mike nodded in understanding, the seriousness of Levi's words sinking in. At that moment, Mike's eyes began to glow white, a sign of a deep, intrinsic power stirring within him. Both Zara and Levi noticed the shift in his aura, an indication that something profound was either awakening or reacting within him.72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZf0lz3Jkb
With a renewed sense of urgency and the lingering threat of Levi’s admonishment hanging over them, the trio continued their walk back towards the city and castle. The landscape around them bore the scars of their recent conflict, serving as a stark reminder of the destructive power they wielded and the need for restraint.72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPRSDaB2PV
As they approached the castle gates, the atmosphere was tense, filled with the echoes of the day's chaos but also a quiet anticipation of what was yet to come. They knew the road ahead would still hold many challenges, but the resolve in their steps showed a collective commitment to face whatever lay ahead with a renewed seriousness and focus, determined to uphold the honor and responsibilities of their titles.72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0XOcxNuaz
