The battlefield echoed with the roars of conflict as Levi and Orion clashed in a titanic struggle. Orion sensed a shift in the air and murmured, "Junsei no Hadō." A colossal explosion erupted, ripping through the infinite magical barrier on the levels. Orion ascended rapidly, leaving the fight with Levi, who was momentarily out of sight.102Please respect copyright.PENANAj0HiRxdnRv
As Orion reached the surface, Drew, Zara, Mike, Lyn, and Kaipo turned to see him. Suddenly, they all heard, “Kuroki Hōō no Saisei.” A pillar of dark flames erupted around him, and from the ashes, Novachro emerged, transformed into a more sinister form.102Please respect copyright.PENANA3DOa9PN8qh
The High Mages stood in shock as Novachro's new form glowed with malevolent energy. "I was reckless," he admitted with a dark grin. "But now, I'm serious."102Please respect copyright.PENANAWb1lgeYuLq
In a blink, Novelius, Eryx, Thalia, and Damaris appeared beside Novachro and Orion. Novachro's laughter was menacing as he declared, "This is your end, High Mages."102Please respect copyright.PENANAdcIi7uwWj6
Orion stepped back, positioning himself to protect the Jewels. The battle was about to begin anew. Kaipo, now fully healed and with his arms restored, clapped his hands together and invoked, "Tamayasu."102Please respect copyright.PENANAIwQfSGTgD3
The final Shinigami, Tamayasu, materialized, enveloping the High Mages in a radiant aura. Their wounds healed, their energy restored to its peak. Novachro watched with a mixture of curiosity and contempt. "Such a powerful Essence Manifest you wield, Kaipo. I still wonder who possessed it before you."102Please respect copyright.PENANAlr4ObTrrTX
Kaipo answered, "A mage in the Land of Spade army had these abilities but could probably only wield one Shinigami at a time. Unlike him, I can wield them all."102Please respect copyright.PENANAYeMO8f7T2u
Novelius interjected, "Then what's the difference?"102Please respect copyright.PENANATZBxif3aPq
Kaipo's eyes narrowed. "I am simply better."102Please respect copyright.PENANAr5y7XJDojm
Their conversation was abruptly cut off by a blinding beam of light shooting from the massive hole Orion had made. The beam pierced the sky, revealing a figure wielding a blade that shifted between radiant white and deep cosmic blue. Constellations and celestial patterns swirled around the blade, and the figure's form was enveloped in an aura of starlight and aether. His eyes shone with the brilliance of galaxies, exuding an overwhelming sense of cosmic power and divine authority.102Please respect copyright.PENANAiLs0ZO8hKm
Orion recognized him immediately. "Levi," he whispered, a hint of aggravation in his voice.102Please respect copyright.PENANAvwhtflbu6N
Levi's voice thundered down from above. "How dare you run from our battle, Orion."102Please respect copyright.PENANAL3WVg1DFOB
Orion responded, "My priorities shifted. I needed to protect the Jewels."
"You will regret that decision," Levi retorted. He turned his gaze to Kaipo. "Prepare yourself to receive the Jewels."102Please respect copyright.PENANADFEaxYJpmQ
Kaipo nodded. "I'll be waiting."
With a fierce determination, Levi unleashed Omni-Blitz on Novachro, Novelius, Orion, Eryx, Thalia, and Damaris. The relentless assault created afterimages of Levi, each one striking with lethal precision and speed. An invisible shield, a power revealed to be Novelius's, blocked all of Levi's attacks.102Please respect copyright.PENANAejlSu4vSGE
But Lyn was already in motion. Teleporting through Novelius's shadow, he appeared beside him and used Shadowforge, creating a kunai named Kagekiri. Kagekiri could cut through any forcefield or boundary, regardless of its nature. Lyn's attack shattered Novelius's barrier and slashed through him, leaving him vulnerable.102Please respect copyright.PENANACTrcaf81TX
Levi's Omni-Blitz rained down on their enemies, but Novachro acted quickly, locating Levi and striking with Shoku no Ken. Levi countered with his Blade of Eternity, the clash of their blades sending shockwaves through the battlefield. Despite his efforts, Levi was blown back into the ground.102Please respect copyright.PENANArvBSJzYT73
The High Mages braced themselves as the battle raged on, the race to secure the Jewels for Kaipo growing ever more intense. The air was thick with the weight of their resolve, each side pushing their limits to claim victory.102Please respect copyright.PENANAmoKdZTRilq
