Zeref's eyes widened as she saw the green sphere hurtling toward her, faster than she expected. Her confidence didn't waver, though, and she prepared to meet it head-on, her fist glowing with intense blue energy.

But before her punch could connect, the green sphere detonated in a violent explosion of wind.

Boom!

The force of the blast was so overwhelming that Zeref was sent flying at incredible speed, her body tumbling uncontrollably through the air. Shock filled her eyes as she realized how powerful the attack was. 

Orion wasted no time. He saw the opening and immediately surged forward, closing the distance in a blink. Before Zeref could recover or stabilize herself, Orion appeared behind her like a phantom. His sword, enveloped in a raging tempest of compressed wind, cut through the air as he swung it toward her, aiming to finish the fight.
