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.189Please respect copyright.PENANAF4WLm6wG9C
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."189Please respect copyright.PENANAqPkn4fyXt3
Toxica scoffed, incredulous. "Defeated? By Levi? How could someone as weak as him—"189Please respect copyright.PENANALKipCm3w62
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.189Please respect copyright.PENANAzrGAIxl1h1
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.189Please respect copyright.PENANAKtEYXAoKsp
"You must be the one who defeated Levi," Kaipo stated, his eyes scanning the group with a predatory calm.189Please respect copyright.PENANAYALrvHa5zU
Nocturne, struggling to maintain his composure under the weight of Kaipo's aura, managed to ask, "And who might you be?"189Please respect copyright.PENANAXdReAKBgVS
"Does that matter?" Kaipo's reply was nonchalant, his gaze piercing as if seeing right through them.189Please respect copyright.PENANA2n8DigNYbN
Fyrebrand, impatient and bristling with anger, stepped forward. "Enough with the games," he growled. "Tell us who you are or leave at once."189Please respect copyright.PENANAUOtg2EwUx5
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.189Please respect copyright.PENANAjR5Vc9n4zx
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.189Please respect copyright.PENANAZFC6alH3E6
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.189Please respect copyright.PENANAW9XKnUphLe
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.189Please respect copyright.PENANA61Tky4CnlA
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.189Please respect copyright.PENANA0SJ6zO9A8I
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.189Please respect copyright.PENANAlfDQ6Vu5jn
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. 189Please respect copyright.PENANAseNVBibGxU
