As Kaipo and Ivel hastened towards Joker, their path intersected with Zack and Malumnox, who were themselves en route to the same destination. Ivel, recognizing the potential delay in their mission, quickly made a decision.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxCVbq44nn
"Go ahead to Joker," Ivel instructed Kaipo, his voice firm. "I'll handle these two."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1uW6QHtfi
Kaipo nodded, understanding the importance of each task, and continued on his way, leaving Ivel to confront the renegade mages.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXiGdaMGWc
Ivel turned to face Zack and Malumnox, his presence formidable. "Zack, why did you betray us?" he asked, his tone carrying a mix of curiosity and disdain.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVB5Y1UpxMo
Zack, with a wry smile, replied nonchalantly, "Does it really matter now?"195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbZwc9oI9r
Before another word could be spoken, Malumnox launched into action, invoking "Rift Assault." He attempted to open a dimensional rift directly beneath Ivel's feet, intending to banish him into an abyss between worlds. However, Ivel's reaction was swift and precise. Even before the rift could materialize, he vanished from sight, reappearing instantaneously beside Malumnox.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqwtPbVva1
"I've seen your end, Malumnox, and it's now," Ivel declared, his voice echoing with the power of his new form. Without hesitation, he unleashed "Eternal Edge" from his Blade of God. This devastating attack allowed him to manipulate the flow of time around his blade. With a single touch, Malumnox's form began to disintegrate, his essence rapidly aging until nothing but dust remained.
Zack, witnessing the swift defeat of his ally, tried to capitalize on Ivel's momentary focus on Malumnox. He surged forward in a stealthy attack. But Ivel, ever vigilant, turned and faced Zack, his blade ready. As Zack's dual blades came within striking distance, Ivel used Eternal Edge once more, rendering the weapons to dust with an effortless swing.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzuvBrUna9
"You erred the moment you chose to stand against the High Mages and the Areala Universe," Ivel stated, his gaze piercing through Zack. He continued, "Your pride and betrayal have led you here, Zack. It’s a path that many choose, but few realize its end until it's too late."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkghApePGHI
Zack, now weaponless and facing his inevitable demise, could only stand in silent defiance as Ivel raised his Blade of God once more.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKN7ZqIRrIx
"This is the end, Zack," Ivel proclaimed, delivering the final blow with Eternal Edge. As the blade connected, Zack's form began to age rapidly, his life's essence crumbling to dust just as Malumnox had.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9yWFFHtfR
As the dust settled, Ivel stood alone, the victor in a decisive but grim battle. With his task completed, he turned and followed the path Kaipo had taken, moving towards the epicenter of the war where Joker awaited. The chapter closed on a solemn note, reflecting the heavy cost of betrayal and the relentless march of destiny in the Land of Spade.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xSVicl9X1
