The air was thick with tension as Joker and the strange mage faced off on the other side. The landscape was a stark contrast to the vibrant Land of Spade, filled with dark, swirling energies and towering, ancient structures. Joker’s sinister grin widened as he turned to his brother.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliDA0lvOU3
"Adonai, go find where the 'power source' we sensed from the Land of Spade is located," Joker ordered. His voice dripped with confidence.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0l7iWTKmm
The strange mage, clad in dark robes that seemed to shimmer with hidden power, laughed. "He won't ever be able to find it," he mocked, his eyes locked onto Joker's.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEepPi3jk7
Adonai, who had not yet awakened the Blade of God, nodded and left to carry out the search, leaving Joker and the strange mage alone. As Adonai disappeared into the distance, the strange mage turned his full attention back to Joker.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmKjmdcill
Joker’s smile grew even more sinister. "You think your power can compare to mine?" he taunted.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5H2gw0ElaV
The strange mage’s expression remained calm. "Perhaps you should consider questioning your own power," he replied, his voice steady and confident.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSzmnnmulj
"What do you mean?" Joker's grin faltered slightly.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5PMjW0tbu
The strange mage took a step forward. "The 9 Jewels you believe you have, are actually fragments of one of the 9 Jewels that we possess here on the other side. You sought to gain the Pure Heart, but you failed. Even though you have 9 Jewels, they are mere fragments. We hold the other 8 Jewels, and they are complete."279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVB94RiuY5
Joker's eyes narrowed. "Impossible. I gained the Corrupt Heart from those 9 Jewels. This battle will prove who is right."279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEL1OLGzhRZ
The strange mage, unperturbed, raised his hand, and the other 8 Jewels manifested from the safe where they were kept. "We use our Jewels for the betterment of the Other Side and our 5 Universes. You use yours for your own goals and benefits."279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7krJZFnyB
With a swift, decisive motion, the strange mage activated the power of the 8 Jewels. An overwhelming wave of energy erupted, engulfing Joker. The power was beyond anything Joker had ever encountered. He tried to fight back, but the force was too immense. In one devastating move, the strange mage defeated Joker.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaQ4RBub9F
Joker, battered and humiliated, was forced to flee before he was killed. As he stumbled away, the strange mage called after him, his voice echoing with authority. "Remember my name, Joker. I am Novachro. And even though it might be a different mage from the Land of Spade that pursues us next, they will know who stood against you."279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUmgEPGM0m
Joker fled back to the Land of Spade, his mind reeling from the defeat and the revelations. The name Novachro burned in his memory, a reminder of the power he had faced and failed to overcome.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLo6Cbv2IP
