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.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRhcvweqeL
"I will finish you off," Pyrrhus declared, his voice full of confidence and malice.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsItyEstOWm
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.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxtnbKNRnR
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.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnta6YMPhYh
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.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFo0BUWBPC
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.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JJ3mJhstU
Zara complimented Pyrrhus's flames but told him they paled in comparison to hers. Pyrrhus chuckled, telling her she knew little about true power.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7lis99tr1
Drew attempted diplomacy, "Stand down, Pyrrhus. We can work this out without ending in your demise."22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UALPgc5PA
Pyrrhus scoffed, "A 1v4 is nothing I can't handle."22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeBX1IkxD3
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.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQcz4qXMBO
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."22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif0jwZODQY
Levi laughed, raising his Blade of Ivel. "You think you can stop me?"22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mIema28X9
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.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvPK4oZlFE
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.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKr1oN1egN
Levi fell to the ground, stunned by Orion's strength. He hadn't realized someone could be this powerful.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rcbWvIrCz
The chapter ended with Levi injured and on the ground, facing the overwhelming power of Orion and the seemingly unattainable Jewels.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshRgTWckLx
