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.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCthmcBIpQ
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."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJloNzvGMZP
Toxica scoffed, incredulous. "Defeated? By Levi? How could someone as weak as him—"288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XlpP0K1nl
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.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBdXEeO5ep
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.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVZi5Y375P
"You must be the one who defeated Levi," Kaipo stated, his eyes scanning the group with a predatory calm.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibIKijDFSI
Nocturne, struggling to maintain his composure under the weight of Kaipo's aura, managed to ask, "And who might you be?"288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1IuiHYtnv
"Does that matter?" Kaipo's reply was nonchalant, his gaze piercing as if seeing right through them.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHkdgzx8JW
Fyrebrand, impatient and bristling with anger, stepped forward. "Enough with the games," he growled. "Tell us who you are or leave at once."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8LZRkpCJ7
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.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07CeyIBM2D
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.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjlobl7zeQ
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.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JEgNwojXP
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.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjx3dD0IBTF
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.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhuF6SPzOh
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.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncmfhuVZt3
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. 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzROZDH5adH
