The representative didn't back down against the man, despite the shockwave that had sent him and his men flying. He raised his hand, and a bright light began to glow around him. He directly shouted, "Holy Armor and Holy Sword."
In an instant, the light coalesced into a suit of gleaming white armor around the representative, covering him from head to toe. He held out his hand, and a sword materialized in his grip, made of the same brilliant light as the armor.
The man in the hood stood unmoved, watching the representative as he stepped forward, sword in hand. The air was thick with tension, both men ready for battle.
Without warning, the representative lunged forward, swinging his sword in a wide arc. The hooded man dodged the blow effortlessly, his movements graceful and fluid. The representative tried again, this time with a quick thrust, but the hooded man parried the blow with ease.
The two combatants circled each other, each looking for an opening in the other's defenses. The representative was skilled in combat, and his holy armor and sword gave him an advantage, but the hooded man was no less skilled, and his demonic mana made him a formidable opponent.
The hooded man made the first move, lunging forward with a quick strike. The representative blocked the blow with his sword, but the force of the impact sent him staggering backward.
Undeterred, the representative struck back with a series of swift strikes, his sword glowing with holy energy. The hooded man dodged and weaved, evading each blow with ease.
Suddenly, the hooded man struck out with a swift kick, catching the representative off guard. He stumbled backward, and the hooded man seized the opportunity to strike, thrusting his hand forward with a surge of demonic mana.
The representative was thrown back, his holy armor cracking under the force of the blow. He quickly regained his footing, but the hooded man was already upon him, striking out with a flurry of blows.
The representative fought back, his holy sword clashing against the hooded man's hands and feet. The sound of metal on metal echoed through the air, as the two combatants traded blow for blow.
Despite the representative's skill and holy armor, the hooded man seemed to have the upper hand. His demonic mana was powerful, and he moved with an otherworldly grace that the representative couldn't match.
As the battle raged on, it became clear that the representative was outmatched. His holy armor was cracking under the force of the hooded man's attacks, and his sword was growing dim.
Desperate, the representative called upon all the holy energy he could muster, his body glowing with a bright light. He struck out with a powerful blow, pouring all his energy into the attack.
The hooded man evaded the blow with a graceful dodge, but the attack wasn't aimed at him. Instead, the representative had struck the ground beneath them, causing a massive explosion of holy energy.
The blast sent both men flying, the force of the explosion tearing at their bodies. The representative crashed to the ground, his holy armor shattered and his sword broken.
The hooded man landed gracefully on his feet, seemingly unfazed by the blast. He approached the fallen representative, his hood still covering his face.
"You are no match against me," the hooded man said in a calm voice, looking down at the defeated representative. "I will take this boy, buh-bye."
He turned his attention to Levi, who was still unconscious on the ground. The hooded man knelt beside him and placed a hand on his chest. A surge of energy passed between them, and Levi's eyes snapped open.
He sat up, feeling a rush of strength and energy coursing through his body. He looked up at the hooded man, who had stood up and was looking down at him.
"Who are you?" Levi asked, his voice filled with wonder.
The hooded man remained silent for a moment, and then he slowly removed his hood, revealing his face. Levi gasped in shock, recognizing the face of the man who had saved him.
"You," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.
The hooded man smiled at him. "Yes, me," he said. "And now it's time for us to go."
Levi stood up, feeling a sense of purpose and determination. He looked at the broken remains of the representative's holy armor and sword, and he knew that he had to follow the hooded man.
He stepped forward, and the hooded man placed a hand on his shoulder. The two of them vanished in a burst of light, leaving behind the chaos and destruction of the battle.
He recognized the man's face as soon as he removed his hood. It was Zephyr, the person who had warned him to be careful in the first place.
Zephyr smiled at Levi, and then he said it was time to go. Levi felt a sense of purpose and determination wash over him. He knew that he had to follow Zephyr, to find out more about this mysterious man who had saved him.
As they vanished in a burst of light, Levi saw the broken remains of the representative's holy armor and sword. He knew that there was more going on here than he had realized, and he was eager to uncover the truth.
They reappeared in a dark alley, far from the chaos and destruction of the battle. Levi looked around in confusion, wondering where they were.
Zephyr took a step forward, and Levi followed him. They moved quickly and silently through the streets, avoiding any areas where the representatives might be looking for them.
Levi didn't know what to expect from Zephyr. He had always been a bit of a mystery, and now that he had revealed himself as a powerful ally, Levi was even more curious about him.
They finally reached a small building on the outskirts of town. Zephyr led the way inside, and Levi followed him down a narrow stairway.
