On Floor 8, the battle between Pyrrhus and Lyn raged on. Pyrrhus stood tall and strong amidst the chaos of fire, mocking Lyn as he detransformed from his Essence Manifest. The battlefield was engulfed in an inferno, with flames roaring all around.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeO3rQYEqz
"I will finish you off," Pyrrhus declared, his voice full of confidence and malice.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76FSq62yw6
He unleashed "Ryū no Ibuki," exhaling a torrent of dragon fire that incinerated everything in its path. The intense flames melted stone and metal, leaving a trail of molten destruction. Just as the inferno was about to consume Lyn, Drew stepped in alongside Zara and Mike. They quickly used their combination attack, "Necrotic Triad Bastion," to block the onslaught.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5K2HV7c7d
The battlefield was enveloped in a swirling vortex of necrotic water, ice, and shadows, creating a barrier that shimmered with dark energy. Within the vortex, Drew, Mike, and Zara were invisible, protected by the Umbral Veil and the altered reality of the Void Reality Distortion. Blue spectral flames and necrotic lightning crackled and surged within the barrier, ready to unleash a devastating counterattack.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTTjXmN4A3
The combined energies created a mesmerizing yet terrifying display of necrotic power. The counterstrike erupted from the vortex, engulfing Pyrrhus in a maelstrom of spectral and necrotic fury. Pyrrhus laughed and mocked Lyn again, taunting him for needing his friends to save him.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR93fkLXczu
Suddenly, Drew, Lyn, Zara, and Mike realized their necrotic arcane abilities given to them by Kaipo were beginning to wear off, returning them to their former power levels. Pyrrhus turned his attention to Zara, commenting on her blue flames.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bv5gRcK3a
Zara complimented Pyrrhus's flames but told him they paled in comparison to hers. Pyrrhus chuckled, telling her she knew little about true power.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp9E1z1aKb
Drew attempted diplomacy, "Stand down, Pyrrhus. We can work this out without ending in your demise."121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuh6BLBNSaC
Pyrrhus scoffed, "A 1v4 is nothing I can't handle."121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx27HidlVpr
With that, Pyrrhus used "Inferunosāji," releasing a burst of concentrated infernal energy that propelled him at high speed, leaving a trail of fire in his wake. The burst of energy enhanced his speed and agility, making him a formidable and unpredictable opponent. Pyrrhus matched each of them blow for blow in an amazing display of power as they fought in the air.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeVgoBJWXz
Meanwhile, on Level 10, Levi faced Orion, the Starbound Sage. Orion's deep voice echoed as he welcomed Levi. Behind Orion, the Eight Jewels glowed in an awe-inspiring display.
Levi smiled, finally within reach of the Jewels that Kaipo needed to defeat Novachro. Orion warned, "I know what you're thinking, but I won't let you have them. Turn around and give up, or face the consequences."121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7ja5sqQIt
Levi laughed, raising his Blade of Ivel. "You think you can stop me?"121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3MVpqaUUa
Levi charged up "Stellar Impact," channeling the energy of stars into his blade. He performed a single, planet-shattering strike that released a wave of stellar energy, firing it at Orion at speeds multiple times faster than light.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgvmWITfr5
Orion held his hands out, using "Tentai no Tate," creating a protective barrier of cosmic energy around himself and the Jewels. The shield shimmered with the light of the stars, absorbing and deflecting the attack. Tentai no Tate successfully protected him and the Jewels.
Persistent, Levi charged up and fired more Stellar Impact strikes towards Orion. As Orion maintained Tentai no Tate, he also used "Seiun no Ichigeki," shooting it right through Levi and injuring him heavily. The concentrated beam of nebula energy pierced through Levi's defenses, creating a spectacular and destructive light show.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsZEwRk0YN
Levi fell to the ground, stunned by Orion's strength. He hadn't realized someone could be this powerful.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvHJDwwMYV
The chapter ended with Levi injured and on the ground, facing the overwhelming power of Orion and the seemingly unattainable Jewels.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr97Bs1Y23J
