The battlefield, a testament to the clash of celestial and abyssal forces, trembled under the weight of their conflict. As Levi masterfully maneuvered through time and space, Nocturne, with a menacing smile, prepared his next devastating move. "Aura of Despair," he whispered, the words barely leaving his lips before the air thickened with a palpable, crushing weight.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aaB9fwEsI
The effect was immediate and harrowing. Levi’s astral duplicates, once vibrant and formidable, began to fade, their essence drained by the overwhelming despair emanating from Nocturne. One by one, they vanished, their energy sapped, leaving Levi momentarily exposed.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TACboDuzJ
Seizing the opportunity, Nocturne materialized in front of Levi with astonishing speed. His fist connected with Levi’s chest, sending him crashing to the ground with a force that echoed through the once silent battlefield. Nocturne's strength had been magnified significantly, a direct result of his "Power Amplification," each regeneration cycle making him stronger, darker, more formidable.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXHeWQHb2l
As Levi struggled to rise, Nocturne summoned his "Phantom Singularity." From his outstretched hand emerged a swirling vortex of dark energy, a black hole that began to pull in debris, air, and light itself. The singularity's gravity was selective, sparing what Nocturne chose while threatening to obliterate everything else in its devastating pull.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqShZ98Bhk
Levi, caught in the gravitic pull of the singularity, merely laughed, his amusement undiminished by the peril. His laughter echoed across the battlefield, a sound mingled with the cosmic energy that began to radiate from him more intensely. As the singularity neared, Levi entered his "Universal Blade Ascendancy." In this state, every fiber of his being was in harmony with the cosmos, his blade an extension of the universal will.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1M3Pp4A32
With a swift, calculated motion, Levi struck at the heart of the singularity. His Blade of God, glowing with the force of stellar winds and cosmic laws, sliced through the dark energy, dissipating it with a shockwave that rippled through the air. Standing firm, Levi countered each of Nocturne's advances with a series of devastating blows, each swing of his sword reinforcing the balance and justice of the cosmos.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZb0OF8Sfz
Despite the intensity of the assault, Nocturne's smile never wavered. As he felt his energies wane under Levi's relentless attack, he activated "Abyssal Resurgence" once more. His form collapsed into a shadowy pool, spreading darkly across the battlefield before pulling itself together at its epicenter. As he reformed, his abilities not only restored but also enhanced, Nocturne prepared for the next phase of their epic confrontation, each ready to push their powers to the limit.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQh05hqUav
As the battle raged on, Levi recalled a similar resilience he had faced before in the Primordial Sovereign. Determined not to allow Nocturne the same opportunity to recover, he resolved to extinguish the dark mage's regenerative capability completely. "I've dealt with your kind before," Levi shouted over the roar of their clashing powers. "You won't keep coming back!"83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCSNQsp44v
Nocturne, undeterred by the threat, managed to land a heavy blow, sending Levi crashing into the ground. Quickly gathering dark energy, Nocturne unleashed a powerful surge aimed directly at Levi. However, Levi, still grounded but ever vigilant, summoned his "Celestial Temporal Barrier," a shimmering shield of time-bending energy that neutralized the attack.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbesEhryJS
Seizing the moment, Levi retaliated with "Supernova Time Loop," trapping Nocturne in a devastating cycle of explosive cosmic energy. The loop relentlessly battered Nocturne, each cycle designed to be an execution in itself. As Nocturne struggled within the temporal prison, he attempted to initiate "Abyssal Resurgence" once more.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPj6MpR410u
This time, Levi was prepared. With a swift motion, he executed "Dimensional Rift Slash," tearing through the very fabric of space to intercept Nocturne before he could fully reform. The dimensional rift disrupted Nocturne's shadowy pool, slicing through the dark energies and scattering them across the battlefield.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8qNbvp1AC
Defeated and scattered, Nocturne lay on the ground, unable to recover. Levi, his energy depleted from the intense battle, deactivated his "GOD SWORDSMAN" form and collapsed, his breaths shallow, his body exhausted. Levi was the victor of this hard fought battle. Silence fell over the battlefield, punctuated only by the heavy breaths of the fallen swordsman.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcA3imTNZb
But the quiet and victory was short-lived. From beneath Nocturne, a dark void opened, swallowing the remains of his shadowy essence. "Abyssal Resurgence," Nocturne's voice echoed ominously as he reformed, now more formidable than ever. He stood over the unconscious Levi, his fist charged with a dark, crackling aura.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEdF1U8G3p
With a malicious grin, Nocturne unleashed his fury, driving his fist into Levi's chest. The impact was brutal, a visible shockwave rippling through the air. Levi lay motionless, his breathing stopped, his essence fading. The ground around him darkened as his Time and Weapon Jewel fell beside him, their light extinguishing—a somber indication of Levi’s death.
As the chapter closes, the battlefield remains eerily silent, save for the ominous hum of Nocturne's newfound power, hinting at darker times ahead. The fate of Levi, once a beacon of strength and hope, now hangs precariously in the balance, casting a shadow of uncertainty over what may come next.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbZgv76GpZ
