*********

The relentless battle showed no signs of conclusion as Ace and the Ape Lord continued to exchange powerful blows, neither side gaining a definitive advantage. Ace's agility and precision had proven to be formidable assets, but the Ape Lord's sheer strength and endurance remained a daunting challenge.

As the Ape Lord launched another devastating swing, Ace evaded it with his signature nimbleness, but in his eagerness to counter, he made a slight mistake. Ace aimed a powerful kick at the Ape Lord's knee, but the massive creature anticipated his move and intercepted his leg mid-air.

The Ape Lord's grip tightened around Ace's leg, and for a moment, it seemed as though Ace would be at a severe disadvantage. With a roar, the Ape Lord attempted to use its strength to crush Ace's leg. The pain was excruciating, and Ace knew that a momentary lapse had almost cost him dearly.
