70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51uy5j0vY2

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhAm4xkI0F

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3KeNXlcFk

The air froze for a moment.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJd8n9ZXCum

Even Khaled felt that her name alone carried something unnatural.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMjUP26Sme

Rose slowly stepped down from the ice-

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbLV6qlsjS

covered rocks.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mulvevfYk

Her footsteps made no sound.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t3V8RRckA

As if the cold itself was carrying her.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ML4RUBzhF

She stopped directly in front of them.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXCS3dwOBR

Her icy blue eyes shifted toward Khaled.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG53E3v7CJe

Then a faint smile appeared on her face.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0M06Hhiiv

“You look a lot like them…”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BXQJwkBc5

Khaled narrowed his eyes.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRViqYk9ckb

“Like who?”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAWgDgfHKA

But Saif answered instead, his voice filled with anger:

“Do not speak their names.”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyptzjz8JZ

Rose looked at him calmly.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplscB4fAbU

“Luna… and Kiz.”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwmWpeMBhj

In the next moment—

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiNPZ6RcER

Khaled’s expression completely changed.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIPwe0EPg0

The air around him grew heavier.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUCKMFj3fp

“You knew my parents?”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a04nSC9dD

Rose laughed softly.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAKRaBpHt7

“We knew each other very well.”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGxCfOvnJ9

The freezing wind slowly moved around her.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgfYen8KFS

“We were all students of Master Saif.”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB166lImgiI

Then she looked directly at the old man.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGM5IgrGx8

“But it seems… I was the weakest among them.”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUm4nXUJJiM

Saif’s expression hardened.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOMK9Ty826

“You were never weak.”

“You were simply greedy.”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWThg4yqoH

The smile on Rose’s face slowly faded.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8ierfy78u

Then she spoke in a calm voice:

“Greedy?”

“No…”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wkpPGL8oB

She slowly raised her hand.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoG9YZh5ln9

Crystals of ice began forming around her fingers.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8a5lVVOPi

“I simply refused to remain weak.”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr2pnmoPon

In a single moment—

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHp9KqsOT8

Ice exploded around her.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5WibSvuwj

The sound of freezing echoed throughout the forest.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiW2K8vilLa

Even the ground beneath them rapidly turned white with frost.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEomrRz9kTm

“Luna and Kiz died because they were weak.”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56AAK2LlAR

She said it while staring directly at Khaled.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyV7nlOExq

“As for me…”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9wxYgUrfa

A cold smile appeared on her face.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzTNf28tw1

“The Ice King granted me power.”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvwBePgqrx

Khaled tightened his grip on his sword.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQZaKFMpDo

A weak shadow aura slowly moved beneath his feet.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNqjt2lxTi

But it was unstable.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfM1JmuvI0

Ever since the last battle, most of his shadow energy had been exhausted.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vlwM80Yqm

He could barely use the aura now…

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBVTuE4ocr

And was relying mostly on swordsmanship alone.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7ZcpwMAl3

“Do not mention them again.”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CAE13dQ2J

Rose’s smile widened slightly.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHUpqh6VZd

“And what will you do?”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1b18VvBfM

In the next moment—

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKnlxulGkF

Khaled rushed forward instantly.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGoMuM0qqY

His movement was fast, but far less overwhelming than before.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhWVJmYjJL

The black sword cut through the cold air toward her neck—

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iHnZIQ4Up

But suddenly—

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA10GoB58AR

Another blade blocked his strike.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLQ0T57eXV

Fiery sparks exploded into the air.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyr8bHWVAWJ

Khaled’s eyes widened in shock.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6fwg5xJJ7

“…Abdulrahman?”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO0rlvzmYa

Abdulrahman stood directly in front of Rose.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0FuB1UxQF

His eyes were empty.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfPIb9bnoD

Without emotion.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFdQZZrmfF

Even the flames surrounding him moved unnaturally… as if they had lost their soul.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPOplI7msR

“Move out of the way!”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwD48aK4Y9E

Khaled shouted angrily.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrgDOs2nTA

But Abdulrahman immediately attacked him.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWhEzyvNCG

A fast strike forced Khaled backward.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY440FobBc

The two swords collided violently.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo40UHoBnve

Fire and shadow exploded between them in bursts of orange and dark violet light.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGP1dagJLTc

But Khaled was not fighting seriously.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2ShfwYrJR

He kept retreating.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlaDoDZB4k

Trying to understand what was happening.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdYGg20MEh

“He’s under her control!”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikfFB5J8Tz

Saif shouted.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZARHlKCMsD

Then he quickly raised his staff.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW0kRh6Xy4

Glowing blue symbols appeared around Abdulrahman.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2anbeeFNb

But Rose smiled calmly.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0H4CEvENt6

“That won’t work.”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmL23a6f1Z

She slowly lifted one finger.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXtUzLjVOo

Suddenly—

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtl6077SKiN

Abdulrahman’s eyes changed.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfG9HXgzCZ

An icy blue glow flashed inside them for a brief moment.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwBl7QieHy

Then the flames around his body erupted even more violently.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkPTbrpuxt

“This is the second level of the Ice Seal.”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBYY3nAznB

Rose said proudly.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7syAUxSPBG

“Complete control over the mind.”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vwCu5Ohh1

Abdulrahman suddenly disappeared from sight.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3j1fDGxfT

In the next instant—

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY0LbgMUyp

He appeared directly behind Khaled.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK53RJWFRUj

A massive wave of fire exploded toward him.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBHBZeZXUg

Khaled barely turned in time to block it with his sword.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bg9KGnmaj

The impact violently pushed him across the ground.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXSk2RGx3c

The earth cracked beneath his feet.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cv2ef7ctb

“Khaled!”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jAgePQOP2

he shouted desperately.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXfYs2KOu1

“Wake up!”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDL9HfR6tO1

But nothing changed.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSQTVYgWwZ

Abdulrahman stood silently.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdowSvHSomg

Then slowly raised his sword again.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb60B4Plafu

At that moment—

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO45iyUK21A

Saif finally intervened.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0j9ZEjwne0

A powerful strike from his staff stopped Abdulrahman briefly.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcriin1KJmB

Glowing spells surrounded his body.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FbF2T5Gra

“Wake up, boy!”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsw5uNAtClQ

the old master shouted.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTNW70FLrp

Abdulrahman’s body trembled.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoyAhd3OQr

The flames around him became unstable.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtwhHHnEZl

And for one brief moment—

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrpYvMXlhV

His eyes returned to normal.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQPQPdh4al

“K… Khaled…”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa65aHIDQU3

But before he could continue—

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBwtDzbnSw

Rose smiled.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZdcQOVsRs

This time, her smile felt terrifying.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIb1UBWpgL

Then she slowly closed her hand.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡultLy3fFsx

Suddenly—

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHGXDgV1za

Abdulrahman froze.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa3XfY8hT1

Then raised his head once more.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3YDwxUYeL

And the terrifying emptiness returned to his eyes.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLd9g5losR

Rose let out a quiet sigh.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MH08heQRJ

“I entered his mind myself.”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjlI0YY2Mi

Then she looked at Khaled.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIKYsQbyzT

“And there…”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzE3Iia6MMB

Her smile widened.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtw23MH9Ww

“I found a chained monster named Zero.”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJafBWUeXi

Khaled’s expression instantly changed.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡne7AGqwR5l

“What?”

“We made a deal.”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA19V1oZbM

She said it as if it were nothing.

“He allows me to control Abdulrahman…”

“And in return…”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8HSQjNwvr

Her smile briefly froze.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfmtLI0GKy

“I free him.”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKDeVaWkX1

The flames around Abdulrahman suddenly exploded.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPmYLb7VSp

But this time—

They were unstable.

Chaotic.

Violent.

Terrifying.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifqrEG75Dl

Even Saif felt the danger.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpXyTHjaOE

“Rose…”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7sm53Ng6y

His voice became heavier.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpOsLwLbyH

“You do not understand what you are interfering with.”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzhFX0uimU

But she laughed.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3ekQheO8r

“No…”

“I understand perfectly.”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzj2lNUhhbN

Then she slowly raised her hand toward Khaled.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8KSzSZAU8

“After I control all of you…”

“I’ll make you destroy this village with your own hands.”

“And then…”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxfNMrvuRY

She closed her eyes with a cold smile.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbZ7Khaxgy

“The king will be very pleased.”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2QRaAz5J3

Khaled rushed forward again.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeIVrpTc1m

But Abdulrahman instantly blocked his path.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMzMYMDYZT

Fast strikes.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7I1CR41lYv

Fire and shadow clashing repeatedly.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX5qP7NJxU

Explosions echoed through the forest.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOteReBkiLQ

The trees around them began burning and freezing at the same time.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMAStHyIVx

But the real problem…

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkg7K2bhi51

Was that Khaled did not want to hurt his friend.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8OMsZPjvO

And it showed clearly.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4JGnYK4Jy

Every strike from him carried hesitation.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4l0xlkoMm2

Restraint.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGoiP82B2j

Which slowly allowed Abdulrahman to overpower him.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSYUplkGVq

“Master!”

Khaled shouted.

“Help me!”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPhG4lvRZZ

But…

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zkU6NZLTc

No response came.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4qZbOLOhr

Khaled’s eyes widened in shock.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5IvJ7rl2i

He quickly turned—

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCZ9GYe8S7

Only to find Saif standing motionless.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypWjJ75yWW

His eyes…

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSLzTtvEvV

Completely empty.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQiVH6qoki

Rose smiled calmly.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uHzPKZQRk

“Did you really think I would leave him out of the game?”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Q6HX9NO3U

In the next moment—

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9iqy11fDS

Saif began walking toward Khaled.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTQaAFNtHq

Slowly.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWXpiYjRFs

But with a terrifying aura that made Khaled freeze for a moment.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Gs6M9WqmU

And now…

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOq13zyKkU

He stood facing his master… and his closest friend…

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp7yLibEDF

Both trying to kill him.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs2ouKliQv

Khaled slowly took a step back.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT84iG3McEA

His breath grew heavy.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNRxxjxWPm

Not from fear…

But from pressure.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcyUtE6YHX

The pressure of battle.

And the exhaustion that had gnawed at his body since facing Newell.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHoDbBzClr

He gripped his sword even tighter.

The shadow around his feet shifted weakly, as if trying to respond to him… then vanished again.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGVCIeitdH

At the opposite end—Abdulrahman and Saif stood before him in silence.

Empty eyes.

Without a hint of hesitation.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfOKkwJCMF

And between them…

Rose watched the scene with a cold smile.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV7jJDdMr8

“What’s wrong, Khaled?”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyZaUzQRPU

She said quietly.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaFneWRabl

“Aren’t you going to fight?”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncNt6NFd8g

The first strike came.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7VHlYYcGw

Saif appeared before him faster than he had anticipated.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ab52IE1ww

The staff strike slammed into Khaled’s sword with a violent crash.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNHoq9e58m

A loud crash echoed through the forest.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZVn2Mk0ds

Khaled felt his arm shake from the impact.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKY5kzBRWe

But before he could regain his balance—fire appeared beside him.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17Yb3jZ60x

Abdulrahman.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC13rSFQJNt

A swift horizontal strike forced him to duck instantly.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58gMFgrrcr

The fire passed directly over his head.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCe9u7dMj21

Its heat was enough to scorch some of his hair.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFPnWLmB6g

Khaled jumped back quickly.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmglCZjXzqT

Then he looked at them in shock.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOJF8NOvbj

“They just won’t stop…” Rose smiled.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivvszxiqjX

“Because I’ve taken away their hesitation.”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzrQi9P1ar

Then she slowly raised a finger.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Lbjx6b4RG

“But you…” Her smile widened slightly.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcggto7lQTg

“You’re still too faint-hearted.”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPXnDehDbt

The next moment—

They attacked him together.

Saif from the front.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdafWEjMRr

And Abdul Rahman from the side.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsyaVCQsX3

The staff and the fiery sword struck Khaled almost simultaneously.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfP9Ou9PuZ

He tried to block both blows—

but he failed.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqvcKJRGmy

Saif’s strike propelled him forward.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrrsQ34uBa

The next moment, fire erupted on his shoulder.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOICAYaVnz9

He stumbled backward violently, crashing into a tree trunk.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlEvfYrSll

The tree behind him cracked from the force of the impact.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNQYqRTxxI

Khaled groaned with difficulty.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzzZzb7uYK

Then he slowly raised his head.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3vDTlAFzj

Rose was approaching.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4rGSxJD5I

Calm.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGJMZR2hk6

Confident.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwx0ia8b0RS

“See?”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDh2tIEN6Hl

The icy aura around her intensified.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFHweXEDKz

“You’re not like your parents.”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2oz84zcQD

“They were ready to sacrifice everything.”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qSJ156YYd

Then she looked at Abdul Rahman.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8vaGaiFfk

“But you…”

She pointed at Khalid.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvW3EpLTMo

“You can’t even hit your own friend.”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoTWZhjAkL

Khalid clenched his fist tightly.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zZl2F8gF0

Her words struck him.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbnncnZ2Xw

And that was exactly what she wanted.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ocs7hOfQR

Suddenly—

Abdul Rahman reappeared.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoTComye2M

A bullet shot straight to his face.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqk5Imgfbk

But Khalid barely managed to grasp his sword and deflect it.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwDMAQso42

Fire erupted around them.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sMAvA4oTh

Orange sparks mingled with the faint traces of darkness emanating from Khalid’s sword.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIumpxuTHu2

Abdul Rahman moved closer.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBO9qNw1M0M

Then he whispered, his voice faint and broken:

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb8iWeNaFm

“…Run…”

Khalid’s eyes widened.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0HKXY80OW

“Abdul Rahman?!”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTw0cbPe3Xu

But his eyes immediately went blank again.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthmC82JnkI

Then he shoved Khalid violently.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBlMed5ukL

Khalid flew several meters above the ground before tumbling heavily.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVNuz5nEgi

He coughed with difficulty. Blood began to trickle from his mouth.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcdSIJkhfM

He stood up slowly… but he could barely hold his sword now.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel6upClCSc

“Damn it…” He looked toward the pendant.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFoRjBkIPl

Then he closed his hand over it.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYyQRuu1IR

“Shadow…”

No response.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfasnFyHXvS

“You bastard, help me!”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38utwvc31H

The darkness inside the pendant remained silent.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv2glGroRg

Rose approached slowly.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYCfaeNJUf

Prepare for destruction...

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J9vGF2Cbz

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

To be continued...

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

So what will Khalid do in this predicament? How will he survive? And will Shadow intervene to solve this dilemma? We will find out in the third part of chapter five.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZQDsUKOU1
