Panic and despair gripped Mike and Zara as they frantically searched for the remnants of the Zenith Order. The urgent quest halted abruptly, their hearts sinking as they sensed the disappearance of Levi's aura. Mike's voice cracked under the strain of disbelief, "No way..." His words echoed in the empty void around them, a stark reminder of the brutal reality they feared.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjqi2lutgL
Overwhelmed by rage and sorrow, Zara unleashed a "Pyroclastic Surge." The landscape around them erupted in violent waves of blue fire and volcanic ash. Trees, earth, and air itself seemed to scream under the dual assault of heat and pressure. But even as the land smoldered and crumbled, it provided no solace to her aching heart.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFgw7L2Ee9
Zara dashed towards the last known location of Levi, her every step fueled by a desperate hope that she was wrong. What she found was a scene of devastation—Levi's lifeless body lay on the ground, a somber stillness where once the fury of battle raged. No sign of Nocturne remained, only the scars of their catastrophic duel.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunfCO0azY3
Tears streamed down her face as she knelt beside Levi, her hands trembling as she attempted "Rapid Regeneration." She called upon her healing powers, the blue flames flickering eagerly at her fingertips, but they faltered against the cold, unyielding silence from Levi's form. "No, please..." her plea, a whisper lost to the wind.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrTf2hEaek
At that moment, Queen Isolde appeared, her own face lined with concern. "Bring him inside," she urged, her voice a mix of command and compassion. "There may still be a chance to save him."86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJflXCEKzz
Mike, who had arrived breathless at the scene, gently lifted Levi's body. With heavy steps burdened by grief and urgency, he carried his fallen friend towards the Kingdom of Serrand’s ancient tomb, a place whispered to hold ancient secrets and powerful magics.
As they moved through the kingdom’s echoing halls, King Theodore was already mobilizing additional forces. He sent a terse command to Kanju, one of their most formidable secret mages. "Find them," he ordered, his voice steely with resolve. "Find every trace of the Zenith Order."86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNMecXaaqX
Inside the tomb, the air was thick with the dust of ages and the heavy scent of incense. Ancient runes glowed faintly on the walls, their meanings obscured by time but their power palpable. As Mike laid Levi's body on a stone altar, the runes shimmered to life, reacting to the presence of the fallen hero.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6U5UT6NSZ
Queen Isolde quickly instructed the royal healers to prepare for a ritual rarely spoken of—a forbidden magic that could perhaps bridge the gap between life and death. "We must act quickly," she stated, her eyes scanning the sacred texts for the right incantations.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccGt6T8u0k
Mike and Zara stood by, their hands clenched, their hearts a tumult of hope and fear. The room filled with the chants of the ritual, the air vibrating with ancient magic as they embarked on a perilous attempt to snatch Levi back from the clutches of the abyss.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0dmHFVBk8
Outside, the kingdom braced for more battles, but within the tomb, a different fight was underway—a battle against time, against fate, and against the irreversible pull of the void. As the ritual progressed, the outcome remained uncertain, each passing moment a weight upon their souls, waiting for a sign, any sign, that Levi might return to them.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1nFTym2G4
