The tension outside the Kingdom of Serrand was palpable as Kanju confronted the Zenith Order, standing firm in the face of their mockery. Without hesitation, he activated his Everfrost Eye, a cold glint passing over his gaze. As his eyes met each member of the Order, they found themselves unable to move, frozen in the very actions they were mocking him with.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPzG0uqWPL
"Enough games," Kanju's voice was calm but carried an undeniable authority. "What have you taken?" he demanded, stepping closer to the immobilized group.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsNfd7Bf73
Before any member of the Zenith Order could attempt a reply, the air rippled and tension spiked as a new figure appeared on the scene. Astralith, her presence commanding and ominous, walked through the standoff as if it were a garden of statues.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhS8MjgINvw
Walking directly up to Nocturne, she addressed him with a chilling directness. "Where are the Time and Weapon Jewel you acquired from your conquest?" Her voice was calm, but it bore an edge that suggested she was not to be trifled with.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxxCGlKT43
Nocturne, caught off guard and unable to retreat due to Kanju's power, hesitated. His eyes shifted, betraying a moment of calculation before he could craft a response. But Astralith was quicker. With a swift step, she was suddenly face-to-face with him, her eyes piercing into his very essence.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEjRB0GPT0
With a graceful motion, Astralith reached out, her fingers tracing the air before Nocturne, as if she could see into the very space where he hid the jewels. Whispering an incantation, she executed a powerful "Seal" spell. A visible distortion in the air materialized as the jewels were locked away, transported to a dimension beyond their reach.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqultCRmE4
Without another word, Astralith turned and vanished as quickly as she had appeared, leaving a void of silence behind her. The abrupt departure left Nocturne seething with rage, his plans thwarted. He glowered at the space where Astralith had stood, his anger palpable.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4b3HiR245K
"Enough of this," Nocturne growled, the shadows around him coiling like serpents. With a flick of his will, he activated "Umbral Merge," and the shadows enveloped him and the rest of the Zenith Order. In moments, they faded into nothingness, escaping Kanju's frozen gaze.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxBhXS4S9K
Meanwhile, back in the ancient tomb within the Kingdom of Serrand, a different kind of miracle was unfolding. Amidst the glow of ancient runes and the silent chants of a forbidden ritual, Levi's body began to stir. His chest rose and fell with a newfound rhythm, and slowly, his eyes fluttered open.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSq4F2pdSpM
Silence enveloped the tomb as those present held their breaths, watching in awe and relief. As Levi's awareness returned, his gaze met those of his fellow High Mages—Mike and Zara—whose faces were etched with worry and hope.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre9OkBLUiX
The room, filled with the weight of ancient magics and the warmth of renewed life, seemed to pause in a collective moment of gratitude. The battle outside had shifted, and though new threats loomed, for now, the miracle of Levi's revival was a beacon of light in the encroaching darkness.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCSinaQgM6
