The members of the Zenith Order huddled together, their eyes darting around the dimly lit surroundings. Toxica, her expression tense, voiced her concern. "What's taking Phantasm so long to get back?" Her voice echoed slightly in the stillness of their hideout.229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvA9SqT5DAW
Nocturne, frowned deeply as he tuned into the subtle vibrations of the battlefield. "It's not like Phantasm to delay... unless," he paused, his eyes narrowing as a grim realization set in. "He's been defeated."229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lfUzW3pKm
Toxica scoffed, incredulous. "Defeated? By Levi? How could someone as weak as him—"229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfym3XTe9qX
Her words were cut short by a deep, resonant voice that seemed to come from everywhere and nowhere. “Weak?” The tone was amused, mocking. The shadows shifted, and there stood Kaipo, his presence alone commanding and heavy with power.229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupWUYbPWx2
Nocturne and the others tensed, their hands instinctively going to their weapons as an oppressive feeling settled over them, a draining sensation that sapped their strength just by standing in his presence.229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMo4isV9NO
"You must be the one who defeated Levi," Kaipo stated, his eyes scanning the group with a predatory calm.229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBo2360Fsc
Nocturne, struggling to maintain his composure under the weight of Kaipo's aura, managed to ask, "And who might you be?"229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xU2ZGWEuI
"Does that matter?" Kaipo's reply was nonchalant, his gaze piercing as if seeing right through them.229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2KPNlfX17
Fyrebrand, impatient and bristling with anger, stepped forward. "Enough with the games," he growled. "Tell us who you are or leave at once."229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIn5YwZTpN
Without a word, Kaipo blurred into motion, appearing right in front of Fyrebrand. His fist, wrapped in a glowing "Anti-Magic Aura," connected with Fyrebrand's chest, sending him crashing into the ground, creating a meteor-like crater with the impact.229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UmBG8v5mo
Ferrumkin, quick to react, tried to ambush Kaipo from behind. But Kaipo was already gone, reappearing above the crater, watching as Stormweave unleashed his "Wind Slice." The razor-sharp blades of wind slashed through the air towards Kaipo, who stood unscathed when the attack passed right through him.229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyMUqiQX2T
Stormweave's eyes widened in disbelief. Before he could react, Kaipo was in front of him, laughing. "Can't use your powers?" Kaipo taunted, activating "Absolute Nullification," which wiped out Stormweave's ability to manipulate the wind.229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vHHw3CqmW
Toxica, seeing an opening, launched a "Chemical Explosion" at Kaipo, triggering a violent chemical reaction. But Kaipo vanished before the attack reached him, then reappeared, throwing her high into the sky. As she ascended, Kaipo struck again, punching her down into another crater.229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbd96FQ9BVN
Eidolon, utilizing "Phase Shift," teleported behind Kaipo in an attempt to catch him off guard. But Kaipo had already moved, turning swiftly to strike Eidolon with "Sorcerer's Bane." The spell disrupted Eidolon's focus, leaving him disoriented and unable to maintain his spellcasting.229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMW1oyShxN
Floating now, Kaipo's laughter filled the air, his form shimmering with a menacing energy. He unleashed "Anti-Magic Singularity," creating a point of intense anti-magic energy that absorbed and annihilated all forms of magical energy around it, effectively neutralizing the Zenith Order's abilities.229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjvLxQzwW5
As the singularity expanded, draining the magic from the area, Kaipo's laughter echoed ominously, his presence felt not just by those immediately around him, but throughout the entire Land of Spade. 229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XQft8U303
