As the battle raged between Levi and Nocturne, High Mages Mike and Zara made quick arrangements with King Theodore and Queen Isolde to pursue the vanishing members of the Zenith Order. Their urgency was palpable, as they knew the stakes were not just about a fight but about preventing whatever dire plan the Order had set into motion.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPi5qqTcWG
Back on the battlefield, Nocturne stood in his formidable new form, "Eclipse Ascendant," towering and shrouded in an aura of ominous power. This was not just a transformation; it was an evolution that bestowed upon him terrifying new abilities under the guise of "Abyssal Resurgence." With each near-defeat, Nocturne could dissolve into the void and return stronger, his mastery over darkness deepening and his physical form becoming increasingly formidable.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYb5jELT62v
Nocturne eyed Levi with a cold, calculating look. "You should consider standing down," he suggested, his voice echoing with a depth that seemed to reach out from another realm.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzh8Hr6LE5
Levi responded with a menacing laugh, the sound cutting through the tension of the battlefield. "Give me just five minutes," he retorted, his confidence undeterred by the daunting abilities of his opponent.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQ5Xu1mbWK
Without hesitation, Levi lunged forward, his blade arcing through the air with a precision and force that seemed to tear at the very fabric of reality. He executed the "Eternal Astral Chrono Slash," a powerful strike designed to bypass all conventional defenses and inflict damage across multiple dimensions.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGofLuKwp1a
Nocturne, anticipating the devastating potential of Levi’s attack, activated "Eternal Nightfall," a technique that enveloped him in a shroud of darkness, rendering him intangible and allowing him to evade the slash that could alter timelines.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMCa5shLBs
Refusing to give ground, Nocturne countered with "Umbral Onslaught," a barrage of dark energy projectiles that sought to overwhelm Levi with sheer volume and force.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeq27fjVuu
Levi, however, was prepared. He summoned the "Celestial Temporal Barrier," a defense not just against the physical and magical but against the very distortions of time itself. The barrier shimmered into existence, encasing him in a protective shell that existed simultaneously across all moments, impervious to the chaotic manipulations of Nocturne’s shadow magic.
Levi then activated "Dimensional Chronoportation." In an instant, the battlefield shifted from a mere physical realm to a multidimensional chessboard. Levi's form blurred, his movements becoming mere whispers in the air, a ghostly flicker traversing the boundaries of space and time.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaFBky1dsW
Nocturne, although momentarily disoriented by the sudden disappearance of his adversary, relied on his heightened senses to track Levi. He could feel the ripple of Levi's aura, a telltale sign of his movements, but catching him was another matter entirely. Levi's speed was such that even the darkness seemed sluggish in comparison.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGdG3092PF
In the midst of this high-speed chase, Levi summoned the power of the "Astral TimeForge." From the fabric of time itself, he conjured duplicates, each a perfect mirror of his power and intent. These astral clones fanned out across the battlefield, encircling Nocturne, their coordinated assault a ballet of lethal precision.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8DMkQarZL
Nocturne, surrounded by these temporal doppelgängers, faced attacks from multiple directions. Each strike was a blend of celestial energy and temporal manipulation, hitting with the force of collapsing stars and the cunning of ages. The relentless barrage took its toll, and Nocturne’s form began to waver under the onslaught.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcREiqHB0yj
Pushed to his limits, Nocturne activated "Abyssal Regeneration." His form dissolved into the shadows, spreading like a dark stain across the ground before slowly pulling itself back together at the center of the abyss. This brief respite allowed him to regain his composure and heal, but it was clear that Levi’s tactics were taxing even his formidable abilities.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVabxhtmNEF
As Nocturne reformed, the air around him thick with the power of the void, he scanned the battlefield, now wary of Levi’s next move. The array of astral duplicates stood ready, their collective presence a daunting force awaiting the next command.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnyprqP2Ou
The chapter closes with the battlefield poised on a knife-edge, the air charged with the potential of cosmic calamity. Levi's strategy had forced Nocturne into a defensive stance, but the battle was far from over. Each combatant, master of their respective dominions, knew that the next exchange could tip the scales irrevocably. As the echoes of their powers resonated across the dimensions, the stakes of their confrontation rose, not just for themselves but for the fate of all involved.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38i0AQvujD
