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.167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZvmxcrkbJ
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."167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJVGfqJos1
Toxica scoffed, incredulous. "Defeated? By Levi? How could someone as weak as him—"167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqCJw5NEZU
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.167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMK31wcKQ5
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.167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YmLGPnIk7
"You must be the one who defeated Levi," Kaipo stated, his eyes scanning the group with a predatory calm.167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB2THAqyWI
Nocturne, struggling to maintain his composure under the weight of Kaipo's aura, managed to ask, "And who might you be?"167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5avh8TitT
"Does that matter?" Kaipo's reply was nonchalant, his gaze piercing as if seeing right through them.167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pSDS5MWoK
Fyrebrand, impatient and bristling with anger, stepped forward. "Enough with the games," he growled. "Tell us who you are or leave at once."167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClNLJ0XsFV
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.167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw57G40xeJj
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.167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyHINm8aHx
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.167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDh8fMwqd4d
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.167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HjA1p5MdZ
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.167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeYNPValXL
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.167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyRCfqBXye
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. 167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo04ar8ob0
