Novachro’s speed reached a new peak as he moved faster than light, his blade, Kōken, slicing through the air with lethal precision. In a flash, he severed Kaipo's other arm, the blade humming with deadly energy. Even with Kaipo’s extraordinary speed and agility, Novachro easily countered each of his moves. For the first time in a long while, Kaipo felt drained and tired.183Please respect copyright.PENANA2xVnursFo3
Novachro smirked, observing Kaipo’s labored breathing. "Why don’t you use one of your Essence Manifests to heal yourself, Kaipo? Surely, you have one for that," he taunted. "Or maybe… you can’t anymore."183Please respect copyright.PENANA3ggxHJ6x8R
Kaipo’s wounds closed naturally, but his arms didn’t regenerate. He grinned back at Novachro, a glint of defiance in his eyes. "I’ve been saving this for the right moment," he said. "The Land of Spade has mages with unimaginable powers, but even I didn’t expect to find something like this. Think of it as a token from our side."183Please respect copyright.PENANAn71Dgmtz2U
With that, Kaipo activated Essence Manifest: Reapers of the Abyss. A dark, ethereal aura enveloped him, and spectral figures of Shinigami materialized around him. Each Shinigami had a distinct appearance, reflecting their unique abilities. Kaipo’s eyes glowed with a ghostly light, exuding an aura of death and dread.183Please respect copyright.PENANAG9rPidsHpn
The first Shinigami, "Kihen," appeared. Kihen’s ability was to adapt to any threat, changing form and abilities to counter any attack or environment. Constantly evolving, Kihen became nearly invincible. Kaipo, now drained, fell to the ground, still conscious but unable to move.
Seeing Kaipo vulnerable, Novachro seized the opportunity. He flew directly toward Kaipo with Kōken, aiming to deliver the final blow. To his surprise, Kihen matched Novachro's speed, blocking the attack instantly. Novachro disappeared and reappeared, trying to strike Kaipo again, but Kihen was always there to counter him.183Please respect copyright.PENANA2daHAE3oAT
Kaipo laughed weakly. "Having trouble, Novachro?"183Please respect copyright.PENANAM3lEZAybUH
"This is just the beginning," Kaipo said, calling forth the next Shinigami, "Haemu." Haemu wielded a blade that could cut through anything, including physical and magical barriers. The blade could sever the bonds of reality itself, making it a terrifying weapon.183Please respect copyright.PENANAG645Stem7O
Novachro flew through the air, fighting Kihen with increasing desperation. Suddenly, Haemu appeared beside him, slicing Kōken in half. Shocked, Novachro stared at the broken blade, unable to believe what had just happened. Kōken was supposed to be unbreakable.183Please respect copyright.PENANAGhL0genrJO
For the first time in history, Novachro felt a tension that unsettled him deeply. He looked at Kaipo, who still had multiple Shinigami yet to reveal. The aura of death and dread around Kaipo grew stronger, and Novachro realized that the fight was far from over.
