Zack turned to Ivel, a smirk playing on his lips. "Levi, why don't you head with me and leave Kaipo and Joker to their fight?" he said, deliberately ignoring Ivel’s new name.25Please respect copyright.PENANA1IGBHJcPsC
Ivel responded, his tone cool and confident, "If you think you can handle me, Zack, I'll be more than happy to show you why I’m called Ivel now."25Please respect copyright.PENANAO8GgAOQJ08
Zack smirked, turning away and starting to walk toward a distant, beautiful valley. Ivel followed, his Blade of God glinting in the sunlight as he kept his eyes fixed on Zack’s back.25Please respect copyright.PENANAKndhi0dLUb
As they moved further away, Kaipo turned to Joker. "Are you ready to begin our fight?" he asked, a glint of determination in his eyes.25Please respect copyright.PENANAO2QOof7dwk
Joker smiled, a dark confidence radiating from him. "Now that I'm back at full power, nothing you bring will be enough to stop me."25Please respect copyright.PENANAbfZrKqzgy1
Kaipo laughed. "If that's so, then let's fight only in hand-to-hand combat, no powers."25Please respect copyright.PENANAeri6m0w1tz
Joker raised an eyebrow. "If that would be any challenge to me."25Please respect copyright.PENANAcmwUrNPQ54
Without another word, Joker appeared in front of Kaipo and threw a punch. Kaipo blocked it with ease, and the two engaged in a rapid exchange of blows, their movements a blur as they struck and countered, testing each other's strength and skill.25Please respect copyright.PENANAldsyFY9sBt
Meanwhile, in the serene valley, Zack and Ivel came to a stop. Zack turned to face Ivel, his expression contemplative. "Do you ever think about the history of swords and blades, Levi? How some swords have had many wielders before finding their current master?"25Please respect copyright.PENANAsR9bmio2Mj
Ivel frowned slightly. "What are you getting at, Zack?"25Please respect copyright.PENANASGv7cTPelS
Zack's smirk returned. "Have you ever wondered who possessed your sword before you? The Blade of God didn't just appear in that secret valley by chance."25Please respect copyright.PENANAPp7VNFoNdh
Ivel’s eyes narrowed. "How do you know about that?"25Please respect copyright.PENANAyXORzpeJ1Q
Zack chuckled. "I know exactly what you’re thinking, Levi. The Blade of God was originally mine. To return to my full power, I must wield it again."25Please respect copyright.PENANARXT6CcaHxy
Ivel tightened his grip on the Blade of God. "If you think I’m going to just hand it over, you’re sorely mistaken."25Please respect copyright.PENANAOjprB34nen
Zack's gaze hardened. "I never expected you to. That's why I plan on cutting you down and taking it from you."
The tension between them crackled in the air as the chapter ended, setting the stage for an epic showdown between two powerful warriors, each determined to claim victory and the ultimate weapon.25Please respect copyright.PENANAGeMtF7E5WU
