Inside the safety of the Kingdom of Serrand's control room, Zara, Mike, King Theodore, and Queen Isolde observed the tumultuous battle through the large holographic screen. The live feed provided them with a clear view of each devastating strike and expert maneuver from Levi, who was handling the formidable Zenith Order with apparent ease.66Please respect copyright.PENANA3706FsNAZz
King Theodore couldn't hide his admiration. "I had heard of the High Mages' prowess, but witnessing it firsthand... Levi’s strength is truly remarkable," he commented, his eyes glued to the screen.66Please respect copyright.PENANAjBmlUUz4tK
Zara nodded in agreement, a proud smile crossing her face. "He should have this wrapped up quickly," she declared confidently.66Please respect copyright.PENANA6nsJcnHHLs
However, Queen Isolde's expression remained tinged with concern. She sighed deeply, her gaze fixed on the unfolding chaos. "I wish that were true, Zara," she murmured. "But the Zenith Order is not to be underestimated. Their true power is something else entirely."66Please respect copyright.PENANAnMy8JD0KpF
Her words hung ominously in the air, and almost as if on cue, the battle took a sudden, dark turn. Nocturne, the leader of the Zenith Order, unleashed "Eclipse Pulse," a devastating burst of dark energy that radiated outward, engulfing the battlefield. The pulse blinded and paralyzed anyone caught within its reach, including Levi, who staggered and fell to his knees, visibly affected.66Please respect copyright.PENANANp4t83wWdA
Toxica seized the moment, stepping forward with a sinister grace. She deployed her "Neurotoxin Manipulation," targeting Levi directly. Her ability to control her opponent's nervous system was both subtle and terrifying, rendering Levi defenseless.66Please respect copyright.PENANAte7tEJyPQf
Yet, just as the situation seemed dire, an unexpected surge of energy erupted around Levi. Laughter, wild and uncontrollable, echoed across the battlefield as he began to transform. The ground around him cracked, energy pulsing from his form as he entered his "GOD SWORDSMAN" state. His laughter turned into a roar as a powerful blast cleared the immediate area, revealing Levi standing unharmed, his energy overwhelming.66Please respect copyright.PENANAXexmsgZIux
Nocturne, witnessing this transformation, realized the need for a change in tactics. "Keep to the plan, and leave the swordsman to me," he instructed the rest of the Zenith Order. His tone was calm, yet there was an edge to it—a recognition of the threat Levi now posed.66Please respect copyright.PENANA9aNw7bPWzq
As the members of Zenith Order vanished to carry out their mysterious plan, Nocturne himself transformed into "Eclipse Ascendant." In this final form, he became a towering figure shrouded in swirling darkness. His eyes, radiant white, pierced the dim light, and his cloak—a living, flowing mass of shadows—reacted to his every command. His voice, echoing as if from beyond, added a chilling layer to his already imposing presence.66Please respect copyright.PENANAhPgaMXnn1q
Back in the control room, the observers could only watch in stunned silence as the battle took on a new dimension. Levi, now facing Nocturne alone, prepared for what might be the most challenging fight of his life.66Please respect copyright.PENANAAdnvzmmA8O
