Holding his golden sword in a two-handed grip Levi brought it down on Koh who quickly escaped in panic, even with Limit breaker boost still taking effect Levi didn’t manage to cut him making him frown.

“WHO ARE YOU? WHY CAN'T I STEAL YOUR FACE.”  screamed Koh at the top of his lungs as he looked at him from afar, not approaching. He was clearly scared, something like this had never happened to him before.

Not giving him any time to think it over, Levi conjured a spear in his other hand and activating Limit breaker for another split second he threw it as hard as he could.

Aided by his throw skill and limit breaker the spear flew straight at Koh who tried to dodge it, but it was already too late as the spear hit him straight in his midsection and penetrated all the way through coming out from the back accompanied by Koh’s shrill screams.

Judging by the centipede's previous speed, Levi knew that he had only caught him by surprise this time and an attack like this one wouldn't work again, he probably hadn't anticipated long-range attacks.

Sadly It seemed that was enough to finally snap the centipede out of whatever state he was in as his face changed to that of a lion and he lunged straight at Levi trying to tear him apart with its teeth.

Levi met his head with a round golden shield he conjured as Koh slammed straight into it, Levi barely felt any impact, such was the might of Divine armament, he immediately swung his double-edged sword at what was supposed to be the centipede’s neck trying to incapacitate him as soon as possible.

Sadly Koh’s pincers were faster as one blocked Levi's sword getting separated in the process and shocking the centipede greatly as he didn't expect the sword that Levi conjured so casually to be so sharp, another pincer came from above him hitting him straight on his head.

A wicked smile spread on Koh’s face as his pincer connected with Levi’s golden hamlet before that smile disappeared, his pincer bounced straight back, only able to make a single dent.

Even then Levi still lost some health points due to the force of the impact and vibration. But that didn't deter him, Levi had a plan and he was going to follow it till the end, he was going to incapacitate Koh and forcefully bond with him! If he succeeds he can just return Acnologia’s face and all would be good, but to do that he sadly needed Koh alive.

Koh jumped backwards, shocked again at Levi's defensive capabilities, as for Levi, his boost from Limit breaker was finally over and he felt its after effects as his body became a little heavier.

“You're not going to leave this place alive.” said Koh threateningly, this time his tone more solemn than before, Levi though paid it no heed, he had more important things to worry about, like getting Acnologia to safety so he wasn't caught in the crossfire.

Releasing the blue eagle Levi controlled it to move Acnologia’s body to a safer location, Koh tried to lunge at it but Levi engaged him in close quarters again stopping him.

Summoning a huge halberd Levi held it in both hands as he started to expertly wield it, fighting with it as if he had years of training even though it was his fire time holding it, and it was only now that Levi noticed the strength difference between him and koh.

Although he had managed to catch him by surprise at first and thanks to his limit breaker being active he seized the upper hand, but now his shortcomings were obvious, Koh was stronger and faster than him!

Koh tried more than once to land a hit on him but he was always met with either the hard surface of the armor or the halberd forcing him to retreat every time, and when he did succeed in landing a blow he would be flung back by the impact while Levi seemed to be hardly affected, except for his armor which recovered instantly.
