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.23Please respect copyright.PENANA1AfEdcFMgs
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."23Please respect copyright.PENANA1ReNicUqEj
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.23Please respect copyright.PENANAkOQ28VQ5TJ
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.23Please respect copyright.PENANAJsTkUxSO3U
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."23Please respect copyright.PENANANN917LhNd3
Kaipo laughed. "If that's so, then let's fight only in hand-to-hand combat, no powers."23Please respect copyright.PENANAEhkglSXWCT
Joker raised an eyebrow. "If that would be any challenge to me."23Please respect copyright.PENANAPvKgq3OYCS
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.23Please respect copyright.PENANATkM1Azbdr7
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?"23Please respect copyright.PENANAAUEmRqXWbh
Ivel frowned slightly. "What are you getting at, Zack?"23Please respect copyright.PENANAcm6ru65EFn
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."23Please respect copyright.PENANAvznF3x4ghr
Ivel’s eyes narrowed. "How do you know about that?"23Please respect copyright.PENANA1wOkJG4xe8
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."23Please respect copyright.PENANAtHP3hReCan
Ivel tightened his grip on the Blade of God. "If you think I’m going to just hand it over, you’re sorely mistaken."23Please respect copyright.PENANAklYBfPf7o2
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.23Please respect copyright.PENANAgBa7PCCE2H
