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.24Please respect copyright.PENANAimHvqjF8rj
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."24Please respect copyright.PENANAIFQYKApdmp
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.24Please respect copyright.PENANAuFYZGq3Bi6
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.24Please respect copyright.PENANATdJDysvxnU
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."24Please respect copyright.PENANA9zT8wmriCm
Kaipo laughed. "If that's so, then let's fight only in hand-to-hand combat, no powers."24Please respect copyright.PENANAzh3sqgep7C
Joker raised an eyebrow. "If that would be any challenge to me."24Please respect copyright.PENANAHNEm6XPT6h
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.24Please respect copyright.PENANA4USppKU6vK
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?"24Please respect copyright.PENANAXGJdaZJX5a
Ivel frowned slightly. "What are you getting at, Zack?"24Please respect copyright.PENANATxdu8T52ci
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."24Please respect copyright.PENANAot0iZyNk3p
Ivel’s eyes narrowed. "How do you know about that?"24Please respect copyright.PENANADxhpipvBv0
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."24Please respect copyright.PENANAeYRZOPQIND
Ivel tightened his grip on the Blade of God. "If you think I’m going to just hand it over, you’re sorely mistaken."24Please respect copyright.PENANAgb0mbN9fzy
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.24Please respect copyright.PENANAiZHH0cDXkn
