11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVmF4QICFG

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

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGfFrF8909

The icy blade descended directly toward Khaled's head.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zyn9yVTOL

But—

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGXIR7kEMZ

At the very last moment...

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwoRwdKuP0

He remembered his grandfather's words.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHvreDokSr

"The ring's true power isn't inside it..."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqupzRmLQXY

"It's inside you."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbAIkdBfww

Khaled's eyes widened.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIQeIl20kK

Then he grabbed the shattered ring stone lying beside him.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3t60mHmP7

Without hesitation—

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgp5XCxbRnV

He slammed it into the slot within the hilt of his Shadow Sword.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nATKaDoj4

Silence fell.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscnzfzSYlD

For a single second.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXAcIfozIf

Then—

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIolqhTkt5i

BOOOOOOOOOOOM!!

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnFwOnxGrz

A massive wave of dark energy exploded from Khaled's body.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ87YM7ecNx

The ground trembled.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV5yrj3DEN

The hills cracked apart.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOGnASm2Rx

Even the icy pressure Radius had created was forced back several meters.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IqkXD10kP

Abdulrahman's eyes widened.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN3rRz6b9R

"K-Khaled?!"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoskgGof4Rs

A colossal storm of darkness spiraled around him.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6iLZlhzw7

Then it slowly began to take shape.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKQHSsJGFK

Black armor.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXcvT0li3e

Similar to Shadow Lord's armor.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExdscC7p80

But lighter.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTKfnklTBy

More practical.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMzNYTd5nY

Built for a true warrior.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpLVlTxpi8

As for the sword...

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6D3GbQuLh7

It had changed completely.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqfsG0OacZ

Longer.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21IYzZ04i4

Wider.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jCX0yjF5H

Glowing violet lines ran across the blade.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0l2NQp2a8

Slowly, Khaled raised his head.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8WhG1BEy3

Both of his eyes had become completely violet.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH5FHHStMT

Radius smiled.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjjM5gnbKH

"Much better."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52bTirviI6

He tightened his grip on his sword.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wPolrss1i

"Show me."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f98qmCrG0

Khaled vanished.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dpQbhoXQQ

Radius vanished as well.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmwi894M2H

CLAAAAAAAAAANG!!

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VAvqXyunD

The earth shook.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoT2GYgz2Y

Their blades collided at the center of the battlefield.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xVWLthQir

Then—

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjkuIJffTB

CLANG!!

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9Osp2tHNR

CLANG!!

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOg06bjt9vJ

CLANG!!

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08Y6XdPW1e

CLANG!!

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdaduTOu07

Black and blue sparks filled the sky.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFBx2SeCuM

One strike.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTRleGaNv7

Another.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0xAzRZLDp

A third.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIu6YIoJXQv

A tenth.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzeOJd9Qxy

Then—

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Zl5cRu3Qy

For the first time...

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAqiVkQ5uV

Radius took a step backward.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeYA6H8hIy

Abdulrahman's eyes widened.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQeB0pLGSK

"He pushed him back!"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcLWHQg83K

Khaled immediately pressed the advantage.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8YrUAJI5z

A powerful horizontal slash.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxBi4bfU44

Radius was forced to raise his sword to defend.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRte2dSpMsy

Then Khaled appeared behind him.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrE67nzwu8

Then above him.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNv8enoIQp

Then in front of him.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXn34zHl4s

A relentless barrage of attacks.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlM6wjHul33

Not giving him a single moment to breathe.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDIsrWD518

But—

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpz2MugWkV

Suddenly.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZPzCr2Cnq

Radius laughed.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKSG6a4iAU

A short, calm laugh.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZ4Orj3BCw

"Excellent."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHg0JEbMAuG

He raised his head.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZk0EgFvXU

The icy seal on his forehead began to glow.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfUSG7KCVT

❄️ Frost Domain

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYA722VT5QO

He drove the tip of his sword into the ground.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMtXsIrqzD

BOOOOOOOOM!!

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dLq9OqeKp

Massive circles of ice spread in every direction.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHY0Tr8Uk5

The entire battlefield transformed into a frozen wasteland.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqWQJo2yIU

Khaled paused for a moment.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOt88dWVwK4

Then charged.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83a7j6OrIx

But—

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ipo2C62eY

Something felt wrong.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d9LZan7ET

His attack was slower.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcm7DjRVBmJ

Only slightly.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g3WxyAZT8

But Radius dodged it effortlessly.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzES6G0QeJE

Then counterattacked.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQUN5jCuNq

A slash tore through Khaled's armor.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzyXnC0KDj

Khaled's eyes widened.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfaG78XACk

"Impossible..."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCSbVq3xGA

He attacked again.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eyOaCGuuJ

The same result.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79vmhsIxZe

Every movement.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbq2vE1NJHl

Every step.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWX6mAHnhp

Every turn.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2e4AEaouhF

Slightly slower.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuVGELomli

Another strike landed.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnfLDMaCws

Then another.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL50UBFEx2t

Then another.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcC3xUxnIn

Until blood began dripping from Khaled's mouth.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaUBmVisX6

He retreated while breathing heavily.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyosPV3EdT

"What is happening?"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtfUQ1aHG5

He looked at the ground.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti5aPOYued

The ice.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5F0cVpD4A

Then his feet.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqrANoIqQb

And suddenly—

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RYMEBV5rI

He understood.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2Pt2hnRd9

His eyes widened.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0wfyZk9Jo

"It's not me..."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb9oCfNaJn

"The battlefield itself is slowing me down."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJVCG6b7cq

Radius smiled.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGk0XcgJxeI

"You figured it out."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZpoUfGZoN

But Khaled didn't smile.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJmtI6kk68

Instead, he closed his eyes.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntHtIQwrdZ

Focused.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3NZ0bI8b4

The shadows beneath his feet began gathering.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsvA25f4cg

Then—

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XLcQSyWoK

He disappeared into them.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeNrPctGMm

Moving through shadows instead of across the frozen ground.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtaFlu86hE

Suddenly—

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0AhhG83VV

He appeared in front of Radius.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JoCUZ3rWJ

SLASH!!

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTdvZI1q1w

A fresh wound appeared on the knight's shoulder.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAag8MS9nxD

Radius looked at the injury.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX39m7C3AMJ

Then smiled.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24MyKac4xX

A smile of genuine admiration.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBnPFvut6q

"So you've adapted."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcQ6tq9Zrs

He raised his sword once more.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCr4sPG2r1

"In that case..."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4Fc4RKFkj

"I'll reveal the next card."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe32W4zHqnC

❄️ Frozen Echo

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡookPsy0aJB

"The Frozen Echo."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0eiZcUMD2

He swung his sword only once.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9m2hliGtZi

Khaled dodged effortlessly.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfUSlkKkUT

"Missed."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JnMjqoUCi

But—

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6UcLITABQ

SLASH!!

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZx5VCK1Lj

A deep wound suddenly appeared across his back.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHq8zTM0lq

His eyes widened.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJHk2LDywT

"What?!"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGLr3haqV9

He looked around.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXtovmzhq7

Nothing.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJWkLzxczD

No one.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIt2Aec7bDb

Then a second strike came.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCPdkuoDNO

A third.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPYRCsWHmR

A fourth.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWM4kwBdjs

Every attack he avoided...

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfZEXdYNmb

Returned seconds later from another direction.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhIioJoyvr

As if it were hunting him.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJbHhaszXT

The wounds continued to increase.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYYD1A8VRD

Blood flowed.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoot7jhCOB

The black armor began to crack.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4RE68oWMx

Yet Khaled never stopped thinking.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ94m3GCmu7

He observed.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGalKN4TRH

Waited.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMrMpbG2aa

Analyzed.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jcvvqVFfV

Another attack flew past him.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUVBCiut9K

He immediately struck it.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmsTzVaQKC

The icy slash shattered.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuauJhHKKE

His eyes widened.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63xn6cYHVF

Then he smiled.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ajEmsApp6

At last...

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ahoYsw35y

He understood.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KwofHgt5g

Radius raised an eyebrow.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPF2uaOKnQ5

"Oh?"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglmhXfVpXT

Khaled wiped the blood from his mouth.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGvZnuaXkU

Then looked at the frozen traces floating in the air.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWve9UW27cH

"Those aren't new attacks."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeS9cMg5OI

"They're remnants of your previous ones."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeuDxmdbb6

"Each strike leaves behind a frozen imprint..."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qsygOdNtZ

"And that imprint attacks again moments later."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0Zh9Z3J42

Silence followed.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmr4id4yw7Q

Then—

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVaJmG3Oq6

Radius smiled.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFXA6Vn7gU

A smile of genuine respect.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RkgV8JDMF

"Interesting."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEMLoFGYfJ

"It took me years to master that technique."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLqjx6DhgM

"And you deciphered it in minutes."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDfggjN3ii

In the distance—

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsLpXyoZnI

Abdulrahman listened.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUp6HxarNp

Despite his injuries.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviTPWesOwh

Despite his exhaustion.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3WxnOcgJM

He couldn't stop himself from smiling.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaoLaKU3Ct

"Heh..."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlK9Zmm74Nd

"That's the Khaled I know."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckmbeBHMZs

But—

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNbQqfwfLv

Radius raised his sword again.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2uFQj6Ixo

The smile vanished from his face.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZN0tBOYye

"Unfortunately..."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMkZp5JGvy

"Understanding the secret doesn't mean you'll survive."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OYjRERLMt

CLANG!!

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyJdRPRBYl

Another strike.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM749QTvJg

But this time—

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVLEynyy95

Khaled destroyed the frozen echo before it could reach him.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6Q2QYEEvB

Then the second.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3n3SLgJpO

The third.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu3SeaRt1m

The fourth.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgakuTJzyyX

He was adapting.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8fhL9YD43

And getting closer.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fJm7qfXMI

SLASH!!

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5alZ8wz7m

A new wound appeared on Radius's arm.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxavzXf2kt5

Then another.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIJTWdNLxc

On his shoulder.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEghym2xHxY

Then a third.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbx5wlzuwc

Across his icy armor.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVEnDrm6Pm

For the first time since the battle began...

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifxXoQECWN

The knight was being pushed back.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dXsF0uFvg

One step.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmy2xjvANVP

Then another.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONHDQcrBTc

Abdulrahman's eyes widened.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAG1W9pQca

"He's forcing Radius back!"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmD6NitJbh

But suddenly—

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuMAUSYFRX

Radius stopped.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eaU3BvK2y

Looked down at the wounds covering his body.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIW9Muvi9Hc

Then sighed.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOncVVId9F

"I suppose..."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDlP1xfHNF

"It's time to stop playing."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJ7vNQ8MB8

The icy seal shone brighter than ever before.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwactfDBUSK

This time—

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0NeaXG1GA

Even the air itself trembled.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJaFpqJIRG

❄️ Royal Ice Armor

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kIEtzvSiu

BOOOOOOOOM!!

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOalgAw93O

Blue energy erupted from his body.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORYooOEoCS

Layers of ice formed over his armor.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP2Xb2OFcv

But this wasn't ordinary ice.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizo1TGUz00

It resembled legendary metal.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH9e1Psjmt

Shining.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyVDxTUm40

Sharp.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3MnyHSsNo

Heavy.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvG9w3vtYZJ

Khaled attacked immediately.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLh5z4PFFmf

Striking with all his strength.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFrRmjxULG

CLAAAAAAANG!!

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5oxh0epoY

The ground shook violently.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡletpSECpmv

But—

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWDg8xfHv7

Radius didn't move.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2qabx2g1Z

Not even a single centimeter.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOJepZJv8H

Khaled's eyes widened.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyN7qxPjUi

"What?!"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiG6eGi39O

He attacked again.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpgpCuq2Lh

Then again.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLNnpkfi6A

Then ten more times.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRelpp8PVF

The result never changed.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaipIQGwi7

No damage.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0jef3sOFq

No wounds.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKmbITXQwe

Nothing.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtTOjtcE5M

Worse yet—

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfZyPR6L5k

His hand began freezing with every strike.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2saXrSd4qP

He quickly retreated.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCoHx0lAiW

Looking down at his fingers.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNkQGmVAH7

A layer of ice had formed over them.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVVaI1p7AU

Radius smiled.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXT55fsiRA

"Now do you understand?"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYmcAoaL8L

"This armor doesn't merely defend."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNbhDnG83X

"It returns a portion of the force back to the attacker."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVJltbaKI4

Abdulrahman's eyes widened.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3dQN3Ed1X

"It reflects damage?!"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMm9iWmrpRm

Radius answered calmly.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8ZIUOs2ao

"Only part of it."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhn5uwpqAFB

"But that's enough."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSzvzkbEyc

Khaled looked at his hand.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3GWBpcb6w

Then his sword.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemV7wWYk2a

Then the armor.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KbhkPf1Id

"I see."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGBVAh14RP

"Then I won't attack it directly."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedCMXYpzVP

He vanished into the shadows.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrh4nfXB1gt

Appearing from the side.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjQ0UD7vNr

Then behind.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZs6D6pXjd2

Then above.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgogzG7xOi2

Dozens of attacks.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnku88HvjQ

From every direction.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1mhIZDp6n

But—

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB2zeJqqcT

Radius blocked them all.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahlPDD3FVR

Like an immovable wall.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAjAFVjnjn

Khaled's breathing grew heavier.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAi7YbsdafQ

His body weaker.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRm0Q05lXVa

Meanwhile—

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgDB3D7AK5

Radius still stood firm.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV2VHTJkzY

Like a mountain.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8a5ynS3UO

Then—

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBssmxX2FQ

Abdulrahman suddenly shouted.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu0r3MQ1Ef

"Khaled!"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEeoozNlUM

Khaled looked toward him.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzUYSbvcsX

"The right knee!"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSjW9ky3io

His eyes widened.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgOXriePWF

He remembered.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZIpHlEAW3

Earlier...

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpmk7XxlVY

When Radius blocked the massive fireball...

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzEKb6EeES

There had been a brief opening.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZUFkFI3tR

A weakness.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFS1DexF3q

At the right knee.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDFGyybEBP

Khaled vanished instantly.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2paeXcfX8K

Appearing beneath Radius.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAidWvjXGj

SLASH!!

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPjCkKzQWL

A small wound appeared.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4h4MsTATXK

Tiny.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HJ7aRKOB2

But—

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBymG5P2M0L

It was there.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfx1ssxXmqv

Silence fell.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvypYqAJDi

Radius stared at the injury.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIztPenwLTE

For the first time...

His smile disappeared.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3GujWXFT9

"You found even that..."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X8PyZONPY

Abdulrahman grinned despite his injuries.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLrmJHgGyE

"We're not as stupid as you think."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQpKWoUFXm

Radius laughed.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTI22LlABPj

A short laugh.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQZxeSUfqq

Yet it carried something unexpected.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3nsdicR68

Admiration.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XxBivysXy

"I admit it..."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0b3F4Gv3pv

"You're both far stronger than I anticipated."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGh3yEOdp50

Then he raised his sword toward the sky.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gRLAFYyfH

Every smile disappeared.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wwogUS0LD

Every trace of amusement vanished.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmk0gqb4Qqg

His entire expression changed.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0jlRzW52Y

"Which is exactly why..."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUrARiPr6z

"I'm going to use it."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAJnNK7oqC

The air froze.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0xV6AGRwX

The blue flames around Abdulrahman froze.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNUHL2I843

Even the shadows surrounding Khaled began moving more slowly.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6QgjEW2KP

Both of them widened their eyes.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22n1xQnQyK

Because they felt something terrifying.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOY7Cq69Bg

Something that made their instincts scream.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oDXewyuG9

Run.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ2mYM8aoB

But Radius continued.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6PZoDoTmZ

"Now..."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpigZli3gPT

"You will witness the strongest technique of the Ice Seal."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RnxRlLPRm

❄️ Absolute Zero Slash

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrSHJIEcKg

"The Slash of Absolute Zero."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzu30X4Aw3

Energy began gathering around the blade.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSG7WonA8r

More.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNR8p448Kl

And more.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jZ6FnSIEb

And more.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFnth6ZLsu

Until the ground started cracking from the cold.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILMm4eni70

The rocks froze solid.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0qY1JADRb

The wind ceased completely.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwf6uFZfXe

Even Abdulrahman found it difficult to breathe.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TK85tmmEx

Radius looked at them.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXf2H1ihXT

There was no enjoyment left in his eyes.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrqFbiQd64

No excitement.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDUotOKRe1

Only seriousness.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTUdo9mkZa

"You've proven yourselves worthy of seeing it."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGZCbhmNTF

He slowly lowered the blade.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mQ5UiJWdp

"And now..."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqtLcF7bTD

"Let's see whether you're capable of surviving it."
