Title: Shadow of the Eternal Flame - Chapter 4 : Unknown Legend ( 2:2 )

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks82RWpVHy

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mD8CXDY8q

Deep silence… without end.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUOScCsgeJ

Khaled could no longer feel the ground beneath his feet, nor the cold, nor even his own body.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVJ92IuV13

Only emptiness.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIqmNgcUSr

A vast emptiness that seemed to swallow everything.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15TYp6T5Rp

Then…

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDDYjsFNXc

something slowly began to appear.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QSDXsgVJb

A throne.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EeNBc5V3w

A massive throne made of pure darkness.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pG0IqDkdl

A dark violet aura moved around it like living smoke, breathing slowly within the void.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOUkMiNOHO

And upon it…

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmduKkQqJN

sat a man.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3z21Ybt8v

Ancient black armor covered in countless scars from forgotten battles.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGsictxEMA

Beside him rested a gigantic sword, releasing the same heavy purple glow.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuQfS466dr

But the thing that terrified Khaled the most…

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLckiCUCPlV

was his eyes.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRbmAv5SDw

Calm…

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuvIqMYdQJ

yet behind them was something that felt capable of devouring the entire world.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMaSOwBJoR

“Who… are you?”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlTWbaiGt6

Khaled’s voice came out broken.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9MKBuM3Sa

The man gave a faint smile.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghEGfqapz2

Then said:

“I am Shado.”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoZCXOBQ3a

Khaled froze instantly.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyU1C1XobW

As if the name alone had dragged every memory back before his eyes.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2u1tsnbFX

The fire.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCblGXouuia

The screams.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeXKbXizJy

The blood of his parents.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuvxT7zSLY

“You…”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjP2FwwdhFy

Khaled clenched his fist violently.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIFehHvVky

“You’re the one who killed my mother and father.”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7xexN0Dg0

Shado continued staring at him calmly.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yIuXUsNoP

Then said:

“Your grandfather was truly skilled…”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs4gge7xaJ

Khaled paused for a moment.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouliKzJ3kL

“My grandfather…?”

“You didn’t know?”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiBtq3NbGj

Shado said it as if it were something completely ordinary.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWSS39BfQ1

“Wise Sef… is your grandfather.”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5vUcpLxby

Khaled’s eyes widened in shock.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ec3bAyW0S

“He hid the truth from you.”

“He knew that if you became more attached to him…”

“…you would completely break once you lost him.”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJhS7mpjWP

For a brief moment, neither of them spoke.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWK33EEgG9

But the rage inside Khaled slowly began to boil.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rb1Kn2ywi

Then Shado said:

“Now that you know the truth…”

“Leave.”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdCeVuS40l

He slowly rose from the throne.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN2WJFnEWZ

The purple aura moved with him, as if darkness itself obeyed his will.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWb47MAd2b

“I will not help you.”

“And I will not repeat the mistake of leaving you alive if you remain here any longer.”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYWphuIMy3

The next instant—

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdZeIqCY4y

Khaled moved.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsStV4RBBVu

Shadow exploded beneath his feet and rushed toward Shado like a sharpened blade.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiI8FS4bt4

But—

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuSzP8250d

the darkness vanished before it could even touch him.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEebFoQIrar

As if Khaled’s power had been completely swallowed.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3zQ1Klnkl

“You truly believe…”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyf5HG1MHNI

Shado spoke with terrifying calmness.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApuC3JLDln

“…that darkness can harm me?”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnf8XA01Sf

Khaled charged again.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1kSTWv3Jn

This time with his sword.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBc4NeipAz

A scream of rage escaped him as he attacked with every last bit of strength he had left.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3o5glxJPl

The blade crashed against Shado’s armor.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwT47XtpH9

But the armor did not move even slightly.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzJ3myRsgf

Then—

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzhaM39NNr

a single strike from Shado.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfvjO9YqgO

Khaled felt as though the entire world had slammed into him.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA2cHKnen1

He crashed violently onto the black ground, the air completely ripped from his lungs.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHT3CUL1EFR

He tried to stand.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iClfNJqwX

Then fell.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPskCstIqh

Tried again.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAm8R4TsFw4

And collapsed once more.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0riFiGyZL7

Shado watched him silently.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxsosJdRcQ

Then said:

“Weak…”

“But…”

His words paused for a moment.

“Stubborn.”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTY06rHla5I

Khaled slowly lifted his head.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSKh0cHxqY

Blood ran from the corner of his mouth.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqi90yXbl8

Yet his eyes never lowered.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUjxAXcN5z

“I won’t…”

He struggled to breathe.

“I won’t let him die…”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt38CMDiC2d

Then he stood once again.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gOevXnHRa

Slowly.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhv9Kinr4Mx

Shaking.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBrbxBF70R

But standing nonetheless.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMREPjFtOy

At that moment…

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpG2Yf5gkd

something in Shado’s gaze slightly changed.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdBA2mt3Py

“You remind me of them…”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyQdT900zV

He stepped closer.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNxCO4L7Uu

“Your parents.”

“That foolish determination…”

“…before I killed them.”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY04dGDboYr

Khaled’s breathing stopped.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZ0mcebfkm

Then—

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhOBXd3o6z

something exploded inside him.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0mfroFJJx

A scream burst from his throat, shaking the entire void itself.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojqMh99yOZ

The shadows around him moved violently, as if they had completely lost control.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZvKKwrZQd

And suddenly—

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmX4vENtd4

the darkness began gathering within his hand.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVyXDPHM6o

Not as chains.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwV3Bh5Hsnd

Not as an aura.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoORdpBjuzs

But as a sword.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3eIPMMHhR

A long black sword, dense and overwhelming, releasing the same violet glow as Shado’s.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxd6JcCMqX

And for the first time…

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfXAMECqOR

Shado’s smile disappeared.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2WuW1JkNs

“Impossible…”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQutQWLJORm

His eyes fixed on the sword.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDofuMYzdul

“That ability…”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXznwonJFe

The next instant—

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvfczALQEv

Khaled rushed forward.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZ7aQ2YGSD

He moved faster than before.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSH1vhGpyw

Not because he had fully become stronger…

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYldzR1fiqu

but because his rage was forcing his body beyond its limits.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqwZUbKlVh

His strike broke through Shado’s defense.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOzxlwkl5v

And for the first time—

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6Q2C90Unn

a crack appeared on the black armor.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAc0nl8aIM

The air itself felt frozen.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEOYLxkjpT

Shado looked at the crack…

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCg7okehVp

then back at Khaled.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMd9kH2yYb

And Khaled was barely standing.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwmBJv5iVP

The sword slowly began fading from his hand while his body collapsed from exhaustion.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaQchsV4Ws

Then he fell to one knee.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFrIdKksrY

Yet despite that…

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XsA0diBkL

he smiled.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBPSoT6YDz

“I hit you…”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJZAPLIwTc

A low laugh escaped from Shado.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcwjX8amad

Not mockery this time.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLuVGzFj8D

But genuine interest.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO3JtUuHrb

“…Interesting.”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYzwbidA0g

He slowly approached him.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeUahfSl6i

The purple aura began surrounding Khaled little by little.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lHQGnD22k

“You use darkness in a very interesting way.”

“That is why…”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MDMExukfg

He looked directly into his eyes.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEx8qQEBqCY

“I will help you…”

“…only this once.”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOL8AUeZ8e

In the next moment—

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nGExPUo9t

everything returned.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKW1NgpMY2

The cold.

The ice.

The battle.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XUuoSIOuj

Khaled suddenly opened his eyes.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVDjwGngHE

Neol stood directly before Abdulrahman.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1qVP45mi1

His ice blade raised—

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYi3oDamqs

only a single moment away from striking down.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHi2lboPKcA

But before it could move—

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZFT1CqY9J

a massive shadow appeared in front of Abdulrahman.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a102oaznF

A shield.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMDynjOaBW

A black shield formed from darkness itself, completely blocking the icy strike.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw7TxFApPG

For the first time—

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23ui2JZcas

Neol’s eyes widened.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjrDT6I9kF

As for Khaled…

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQK3SbRShLP

something inside him had changed.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1wS8BojUr

The power within his body no longer felt the same.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zEK9Y6zFF

And in his hand—

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVc7BJoRuH

a sword appeared.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMyiwofKgc

But not the sword he had created before.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWsi81XU9h

This blade was far larger.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcYM9CXtyh

Heavier.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuY8qh1Bkp

A terrifying purple aura flowed from it endlessly.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jH7lBCVad

“So…”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEWAyxFR60

Khaled whispered.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iN9Bu6dRg

“This is your power, Shado…”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmFg3cWzXZ

Shadow exploded beneath his feet.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8RItUyujT

And in a single instant—

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AzlaimNjz

Khaled vanished.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsRTCMJLko

Neol tried to react—

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGgx0TXxYR

but Khaled appeared directly in front of him.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TQWIqVs26

One strike.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZN6glvO3f

The black blade passed through the ice…

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0R0DkeBwwc

as if it had never existed at all.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGS6Xo064HI

Neol’s eyes widened.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLyK4POJ79

Then a dark line appeared across his body.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaRX1jTYMC

And in the very next moment—

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWre9M2vRD

the entire frozen battlefield exploded apart.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWmzJRWsEp

Neol dropped to his knees.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwVzXn9hj6

The icy seal on his forehead slowly began to crack.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tZM9aOxCe

Then—

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCwFzMNJJL

he collapsed.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8faEmOQM72

The shadows surrounding Khaled gradually calmed.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCLKZYAUpe

And Abdulrahman felt the flames inside him finally stabilize again.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mlAS3AMaD

Their wounds slowly began healing beneath the darkness surrounding them.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd07SDhU5OF

But the power disappeared just as quickly.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDHtNXC6XF

Khaled collapsed to the ground from exhaustion.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2CKaXY0II

Beside him…

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptZxi7LvAt

Abdulrahman fell as well.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQul7dRMGoZ

Both of them looked toward Zira…

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQjwGI4Mj8

silent forever.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1c9B1FHBd

And for the first time in years…

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0RRyQDBmh

Khaled could not find a single word to say.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3FSkVMSIY

Hours later…

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgaNKni3Xq

the two stood before Zira’s grave.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIClveXqbgC

The air was still.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARPfigt3Pt

And the silence felt heavier than the war itself.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKCDIoSpiZ

Then Wise Sef appeared.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68KieQvLz7

He stood before the grave for a long time…

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBOG4sfqym

before quietly saying:

“He was… my dearest friend.”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzFcfzHEER

Khaled suddenly looked at him.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZItvOLhPf

Then asked:

“Why did you hide the truth from me… grandfather?”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNVBUizWWU

Sef froze in place.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUfxb7lOCz

“…Did Zira tell you?”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLo5tPa4f8

Khaled slowly shook his head.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8gV60Omdf

“No.”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuks4L03YaP

“Shado did.”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFQC8NHSIB

And in that instant—

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0o5nBGJGfN

all calmness disappeared from Sef’s face.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4FFSUhUhr

“What?!”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUur2bmwz9

He stepped toward him immediately.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkULP2PfWFw

“You spoke to him?!”

“He helped me.”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5CJ7zaTtY

Sef remained silent for a moment.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17FE7ruxCI

Then said in a heavy voice:

“Listen to me carefully, Khaled…”

“Shado is not just a spirit.”

“He is a disaster.”

“If he ever completely takes control of you…”

“…everyone you love will die.”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyke7pkRjDb

Khaled clenched his fist.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIWeJ9MtON

Then quietly replied:

“But he saved us.”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlkE8bdZpu

Sef stared at him for a long time.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkaxSqMkT9

Then slowly closed his eyes.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDR5F5rDQc

“…Then he has acknowledged you.”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtO6afcfHi

Elsewhere…

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5Sk2ALIBB

inside a dark frozen hall—

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguPnjrAvy1

a man sat upon a throne of ice.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySyVX4ueTU

His face hidden beneath the shadows.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39pR4PDjRe

But his blue eyes shone with deadly coldness.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18pnyoO287

The Ice King.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfzY28TiJO

"Salman".

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9JCALhPMT

One of the soldiers knelt before him.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o4D36KmSD

“My lord…”

“Neol… has fallen.”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NzJFUKTfQ

For a moment, the room became deathly quiet.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAidjZsanp

Then Salman spoke calmly:

“Impossible.”

“He possessed the First Level of the Ice Seal.”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhl0CptO9mT

The soldier swallowed his fear.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRmPagvVmS

Then continued:

“The one who defeated him… was a shadow user.”

“From Aros.”

“And he ended the battle with a single strike… using a massive black sword.”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRaBpxTFNr

Suddenly—

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WzKVDlb3V

the atmosphere inside the hall changed.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6uv3TjrSO

“…A black sword?”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qudDPdIQ9

Salman slowly rose from his throne.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXbr3Zn5IF

“Has the Shadow Lord returned…?”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzlzramO8d

The silence inside the hall deepened.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulDBY1lVTh

Then Salman let out a cold, quiet laugh.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtCF3ugUGG

“It does not matter…”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVv0QmSSKw

He turned toward the darkness behind him.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3sN3wMQSG

“Can you do it, Rose?”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhJ1n84CFt

From within the shadows—

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglVKYmX8Hm

a girl with icy eyes stepped forward.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5ggE6bMEL

She bowed quietly.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBJtJhiM4i

“As you command… my king.”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNQ4GR7gTI

Salman smiled.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUn6FHsfe1U

But there was no warmth in that smile.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfzDUssskd

“Prepare yourselves, Aros…”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMg3PPbVI44

The air inside the hall froze completely.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVuR4TOM2a

“Your own people…”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLchlT0nevu

“…will be the ones who destroy you.”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YrsQK1mUh

............................

To be continued...

So, who is Rose? What does the Ice King intend to do? What will Khalid and Abdulrahman do? And what does it mean that your sons will destroy you? We will find out in Chapter Five.
