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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKh1rjNYIT0
"Go ahead to Joker," Ivel instructed Kaipo, his voice firm. "I'll handle these two."121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlOq2aRUwA
Kaipo nodded, understanding the importance of each task, and continued on his way, leaving Ivel to confront the renegade mages.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2tnTwI2JZ
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6SE3eyWVb
Zack, with a wry smile, replied nonchalantly, "Does it really matter now?"121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlfR5fOn5P
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBr4y2tkbw
"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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9eUBGFOlt
"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."121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyp9k3cq6A
Zack, now weaponless and facing his inevitable demise, could only stand in silent defiance as Ivel raised his Blade of God once more.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8L904cHmm4
"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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJovQRXiPt
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVnJgms9Ot
