A new figure materialized on the battlefield—Astralith. Her arrival was timely, just as the confrontation reached a climax. "It's time to leave," she announced to Malacar, her tone firm yet urgent.167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwkjNPR8nU
Malacar, visibly irritated by the interruption—especially when he was beginning to savor his duel—nodded reluctantly. "Very well," he conceded, and in a swirl of dark energy, both he and Astralith vanished from sight.167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuA0FKxQQme
Left in the wake of their departure, Lyn turned to Levi, his expression grave. "Malacar's strength is formidable," he confessed. "Defeating him will not be straightforward."167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuF4Q3msO1
The scene shifted to a starkly different location—the heart of the Land of Spade. Here, Astralith and Malacar reappeared, greeted by the imposing figure of Joker Oginam. Astralith wasted no time in formalities, swiftly introducing Malacar to Joker and recounting the tale of Joker's resurrection.167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKS9kIZ0pF
The area around them was dominated by a massive portal, its edges pulsating with energy. Joker Oginam gestured towards it as he spoke. "I opened this portal during the First Jewel War, not expecting it to lead to another side."167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbty48OZXNL
Malacar, caught off guard by this revelation, listened intently as Joker outlined his grand scheme. "Once we've secured this side of the Land of Spade, we'll advance through this portal and conquer the adjacent side and their universes."167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoaVYr8AQr
Malacar's response was a hearty laugh. "That sounds like an adventure," he said, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. Astralith, however, brought the conversation back to a more immediate concern. "We must focus on Kaipo. He remains a significant threat."167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthHnmbXFjR
"Ah, Kaipo," Malacar mused, a smirk crossing his face. "I look forward to our next encounter."167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqlEGJzWiS

Back with High Mage Lyn and Levi, the atmosphere was one of recovery and planning. Their moment of respite was interrupted by the sudden appearance of Kaipo, who quickly assessed their condition. "How are you holding up?" he inquired, his concern evident.167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHVlwvpLAe
Without waiting for an answer, Kaipo activated "Advanced Regeneration," his hands glowing as he channeled healing energies towards Lyn and Levi. The effect was immediate, visibly rejuvenating them.167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTc7A9McVb2
Kaipo then brought out an enormous mysterious yellow orb that Zara and Levi previously acquired from The Luminar Concordia Universe. "I intended to train you in a new technique, but time is a luxury we can't afford," he explained. Showing them the orb, he instructed, "Touch this, and it will instill in you the knowledge you need."167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcCYL8xylR
The chapter concluded with Lyn and Levi reaching out to touch the orb, their faces set with determination, as they braced for the knowledge and power that would flood through them, preparing them for the battles ahead.167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZSoG9ZnU4
