Zeix caught Veldor's hand, but Veldor kicked Zeix's chest, separating the hand. Zeix created a water spear and launched it towards Veldor. Veldor tried to dodge, but the spear hit him, creating a circle from his chest to his stomach. Veldor regenerated instantly but saw fireballs coming towards him. He jumped backward to avoid the attack, but the fireballs followed him and engulfed him in flames. He regenerated in a moment but saw Zeix charging towards him.
Zeix was about to punch Veldor when Veldor raised his hand to catch Zeix's fist. Zeix's punch broke and cut Veldor's hand, going through it and shattering Veldor's head into pieces. Veldor regenerated again and thought, "He keeps getting stronger. Where is he getting this power from? Is he someone sent by the gods?" He saw Zeix coming towards him, so he bowed down and ripped a large chunk of ground, throwing it towards Zeix.
Zeix used water magic to destroy the ground into many pieces. Veldor ran backward, but Zeix created a wind spear and launched it towards Veldor. The spear traveled at an unmatchable speed, hitting Veldor and cutting him into many small pieces. Veldor began to regenerate, but when his head regenerated, he saw Zeix doing something unusual.
Zeix was creating something, and he had a flashback to his grandfather saying,
"Listen, Zeix, you are not strong because you have powerful abilities. You are strong when you believe you can defeat anything or anyone who stands before you. That is true strength."
Zeix raised his hand, recalling his grandfather's words, "TO BECOME THE STRONGEST, THINK AS THE STRONGEST."
Around his hand, a dark and dark red aura started to appear. He said, "Malevolent Spear," and a spear formed in dark red, releasing an aura and thunder that shook the ground and space.
**Flashback**
Zeix was in the Anti Valley with Flitz. Flitz asked, "Even if you have strong magic or powers, how are you going to kill him? He has an unmatched regeneration." Zeix replied, "There is only one way. I need to destroy his body, soul, bones, flesh—everything—before he can regenerate." Flitz asked, "How are you going to do that?"
**Present**
Zeix launched the Malevolent Spear towards Veldor. Veldor was regenerating his lower body but saw a bright dark flash coming towards him. Before he knew it, the spear hit him, and a massive explosion ensued, cracking the ground and the clouds. From afar, everyone on the battlefield saw the enormous explosion. Flitz said, "You never fail to surprise me, master."
Zeix stood on the ground, staring ahead at the large, deep hole before him. He turned around and said, "It's my strength."
