Levi and Lyn realized they had to hurry up as they couldn't waste time on Pyrrhus. Lyn said he would create an opening for Levi to head to Level 9. Activating Essence Manifest: Shadowlord of the Necrotic Abyss, Lyn was enveloped in a swirling vortex of necrotic shadows. His form became semi-transparent and wreathed in dark energy. His eyes glowed with a sinister purple light, and spectral hands and shadowy figures moved within his aura, creating an atmosphere of dread and power.183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4uRQPFn1D
Lyn used Necrotic Dominion, summoning a massive army to fight Pyrrhus. With Necrotic Dominion, Lyn's control over necrotic shadows became absolute, allowing him to command an army of spectral entities and reshape the battlefield with darkness. This technique ensured Lyn's dominance and the utter defeat of his enemies, which in this case was Pyrrhus. Necrotic Dominion allowed Levi to hurry to Level 9, where Zephyra, the Wind Empress of The Celestial Zephyr, awaited.183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOinE49089Z
As Levi entered Level 9, Zephyra welcomed him. Surrounded by a swirling aura of ethereal wind and light, her eyes glowed with a vibrant, sky-blue light. Her hair and clothing flowed as if caught in a perpetual breeze. Ethereal wings of air and a crown of storm clouds symbolized her dominion over the skies.183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9GLxc8Et7
"You are really lucky to have gotten past Pyrrhus," Zephyra said.183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmYRWPPD1J
"Thanks to a friend," Levi replied, thinking of Lyn.183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHEhEpqlgI
Zephyra's expression turned stern. "I hope you said your last goodbyes because your friend won't live another five minutes if Pyrrhus used Fushichō no Saisei."183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4IhSZdhwn
Zephyra's eyes widened as she recognized Levi's blade. "Where did you get that sword?"183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrld2bgzEo
"I defeated a very strong swordsman," Levi answered, referring to Zack.183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm93nkuVUUS
"Impossible," Zephyra murmured to herself, recalling a flashback from the First Jewel War when Joker and Zack (Adonai at the time) took the trip to the other side. The victory that Zack achieved, awakening his Blade of God, was against Zephyra.183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwFNeLCYug
Returning to the present, Zephyra sternly said, "If you defeated him, that means I have to go all out from the start." She unleashed Arashi no Zangeki, channeling wind energy into her attacks and creating nearly invisible blades of air that could slice through anything from a distance. The air blades moved at incredible speeds, making them difficult to see and avoid.183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk9kjkLcyQ
Levi began getting hit by the blades, unable to track them accurately. He activated his Astral Shield for protection. Striking back with Quasar Burst, Levi melted everything in the surrounding area. To protect herself, Zephyra used Senpū no Shōheki, creating a rotating barrier of wind around herself. However, this barrier failed to stop Levi's attack, nearly vaporizing her.183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzHOXxVBvo
Desperate, Zephyra used Kūchū Shihai, gaining complete control over the air currents in a wide area. She manipulated the environment to her advantage, lifting objects and controlling the weather to move the blast energy away from her. But as soon as she finished, Levi appeared beside her and used "Celestial Beam," a beam that cut through anything in its path with surgical precision.183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeJeye0HKr
Reacting quickly, Zephyra blocked the attack with Ten no Arashi, unleashing her full power to create a massive celestial storm. The storm, infused with divine wind energy, caused widespread destruction and chaos. "I will prevail in this battle!" Zephyra yelled.183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm82OocxtJ
Remaining confident, Levi switched to his Blade of Ivel and used "Infinity Slash." Using her Ten no Arashi, Zephyra dodged and redirected every attack despite their endless nature.183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEq6kAVnn1
"This is it," Levi declared. He used his famous attack, Divine Edge, slashing Zephyra across her chest. She fell slowly to the ground, defeated.183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVUlgyIM91
Levi continued to Floor 10, where Orion, the Starbound Sage of The Astral Enclave, awaited.183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTqJA3CFaA
