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

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDW4Y2VnvL

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSyFz3x36D

Deep silence… without end.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMz04uc45K

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

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DUdk1NQNG

Only emptiness.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6Nurg3G22

A vast emptiness that seemed to swallow everything.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmzu1iCZ05

Then…

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g1GyAkGGt

something slowly began to appear.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Cdn1jWTJN

A throne.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S6L3ALNDJ

A massive throne made of pure darkness.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvB4PI1u5P

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

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVH3PFknQI7

And upon it…

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1tAtwPkms

sat a man.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooTqskNib9

Ancient black armor covered in countless scars from forgotten battles.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtcbigRmc7

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

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25FO16370D

But the thing that terrified Khaled the most…

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBAyOQX3KX

was his eyes.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlEGOdP43i

Calm…

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PGaM6Ba9r

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

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIX0srRGhb

“Who… are you?”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkoO6MIqcY

Khaled’s voice came out broken.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jcnTdaQp6

The man gave a faint smile.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrwPBJn6VA

Then said:

“I am Shado.”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0z3fO6flr6

Khaled froze instantly.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ261AG9CkIz

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

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUuYw9RA4V

The fire.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMQIbdIcRi

The screams.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U84p6zZ0J

The blood of his parents.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdnDDPCYQe

“You…”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyBsSwnpi1

Khaled clenched his fist violently.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDLwlzipMW

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

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZroV1NqAh0

Shado continued staring at him calmly.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObm1RkQDcS

Then said:

“Your grandfather was truly skilled…”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ft6th030V

Khaled paused for a moment.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSpun3r8VW

“My grandfather…?”

“You didn’t know?”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqyphy6SQh

Shado said it as if it were something completely ordinary.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8npPAYCJW

“Wise Sef… is your grandfather.”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxYwiAj2fm

Khaled’s eyes widened in shock.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQvqGRBRfJ

“He hid the truth from you.”

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

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

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYXCmb3HfI

For a brief moment, neither of them spoke.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0b2laB24l

But the rage inside Khaled slowly began to boil.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7amyijXc1

Then Shado said:

“Now that you know the truth…”

“Leave.”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZoV451NLw

He slowly rose from the throne.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4HyF2WCLn

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

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp08MbrNN7x

“I will not help you.”

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

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJBzLeHqVj

The next instant—

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4Bm1XQhna

Khaled moved.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29l5jI3cK2

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

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHBDQgGE86

But—

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67esyc1IEu

the darkness vanished before it could even touch him.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73PZNwlRLu

As if Khaled’s power had been completely swallowed.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9tDtP35k7

“You truly believe…”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zh7edAUZr

Shado spoke with terrifying calmness.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZ9qQ8Bywy

“…that darkness can harm me?”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxys0r2fTvy

Khaled charged again.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEpxVd6mvq

This time with his sword.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisne04mbqq

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

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6eEh4My08

The blade crashed against Shado’s armor.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMQYMG0im4

But the armor did not move even slightly.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ857zZaOdhZ

Then—

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4x7Xvolxee

a single strike from Shado.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi0oGtjIiW

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

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnTYHlVTO6

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

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk92JHV3bUl

He tried to stand.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgymlgWETkb

Then fell.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe18W66YINY

Tried again.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75OO7CByd0

And collapsed once more.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUuRe2CTtb

Shado watched him silently.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfm7SBOuFV

Then said:

“Weak…”

“But…”

His words paused for a moment.

“Stubborn.”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡta9NuhYqK3

Khaled slowly lifted his head.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnBWWFrsw5

Blood ran from the corner of his mouth.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yOPLOvcsZ

Yet his eyes never lowered.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIeLXLrome

“I won’t…”

He struggled to breathe.

“I won’t let him die…”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwskNLlyHV

Then he stood once again.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCKBWcTN2m

Slowly.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DLKBlaTwF

Shaking.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA09rTUy9qa

But standing nonetheless.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOqYxYNxZE

At that moment…

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjf1x5WljP

something in Shado’s gaze slightly changed.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X8kGoqhVT

“You remind me of them…”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JyFVi0cdd

He stepped closer.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLVb3SZ11J

“Your parents.”

“That foolish determination…”

“…before I killed them.”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fmHz961Zx

Khaled’s breathing stopped.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHBqyFP9gY

Then—

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtk82cNf3Le

something exploded inside him.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡun4SgfrIxU

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

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiqeuIq3EV

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

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNTYSHgzeZ

And suddenly—

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQb0sVENOZ

the darkness began gathering within his hand.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsgqKSY6XC

Not as chains.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54OIjlBxDf

Not as an aura.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzZT9ecdSG

But as a sword.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKohHSE67SE

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

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTdZo6LMY6

And for the first time…

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9Bc6QODgt

Shado’s smile disappeared.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuWd797tEf

“Impossible…”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TFBk8IvJ3

His eyes fixed on the sword.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GhYp45LVI

“That ability…”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHeRNOya3G

The next instant—

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHCMniLwKq

Khaled rushed forward.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY72kpwsA1b

He moved faster than before.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJx5XJCltkE

Not because he had fully become stronger…

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF1Aa1EtAi

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

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvD5QtyiLXP

His strike broke through Shado’s defense.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14E1ZYlnKR

And for the first time—

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLqNCXS2Cy

a crack appeared on the black armor.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7APffIWve

The air itself felt frozen.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3FwmbfGHu

Shado looked at the crack…

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8eF2MycdF

then back at Khaled.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpbsfHEipo

And Khaled was barely standing.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjCbxE9YuY

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

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsCJOKUJQI

Then he fell to one knee.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWzCvwu1sT

Yet despite that…

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVfMNs4xlz

he smiled.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndRKiRWX0T

“I hit you…”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTolO2Y5kBn

A low laugh escaped from Shado.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwW3BvvTAR

Not mockery this time.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTk0Prvazu

But genuine interest.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ09FVkkJhh

“…Interesting.”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8qYmTFyl1

He slowly approached him.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o7CCqXdpj

The purple aura began surrounding Khaled little by little.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fy6fKRpTw

“You use darkness in a very interesting way.”

“That is why…”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnpJIBZsPO

He looked directly into his eyes.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYR1H4aTEJ

“I will help you…”

“…only this once.”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFN3K2FbtDs

In the next moment—

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIBp29zUcb

everything returned.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4QMG7pB6d

The cold.

The ice.

The battle.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLE7bpISl2A

Khaled suddenly opened his eyes.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSG7DbBjp5

Neol stood directly before Abdulrahman.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5gho7WvNV

His ice blade raised—

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcajONPXido

only a single moment away from striking down.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QBUwezqEi

But before it could move—

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97CUNvjDCP

a massive shadow appeared in front of Abdulrahman.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRe1KG2OMWr

A shield.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVVLdyeNov

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

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57CMFp5fmN

For the first time—

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRemLBi9kR

Neol’s eyes widened.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8I1Sh4jtwQ

As for Khaled…

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0OHpAJWm5

something inside him had changed.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCWGHqbLtK

The power within his body no longer felt the same.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoEBn6eoDU

And in his hand—

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmKWHIPC6W

a sword appeared.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqp5cs8nuG

But not the sword he had created before.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqDC0db5ZP

This blade was far larger.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0XLRpC5nz

Heavier.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7G5QYqDzd4

A terrifying purple aura flowed from it endlessly.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1HRuk0T4S

“So…”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhcxyTFAgI

Khaled whispered.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouuUlkknuH

“This is your power, Shado…”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iH2E1zvQN

Shadow exploded beneath his feet.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTsMiSGevq

And in a single instant—

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRXSUCQB2Y

Khaled vanished.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZlZYoWQa2

Neol tried to react—

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CjcarqcuK

but Khaled appeared directly in front of him.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxZWB9dUbO

One strike.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyMkWamtcO

The black blade passed through the ice…

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEL8ohLwJn5

as if it had never existed at all.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TGMLWUNHH

Neol’s eyes widened.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwY8roTbNU

Then a dark line appeared across his body.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaM7czZhTdj

And in the very next moment—

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iDU7NzM0A

the entire frozen battlefield exploded apart.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUemdzI5mNl

Neol dropped to his knees.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O5ZypQ4vY

The icy seal on his forehead slowly began to crack.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXhq8iO9rk

Then—

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzCdWDbeQq

he collapsed.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwrajpnzm5

The shadows surrounding Khaled gradually calmed.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa1PP3qJGh

And Abdulrahman felt the flames inside him finally stabilize again.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUE2QuJAjZ

Their wounds slowly began healing beneath the darkness surrounding them.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUUG6HQZvR

But the power disappeared just as quickly.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynZDUFZA2q

Khaled collapsed to the ground from exhaustion.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx5uS5PgZw

Beside him…

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKrYfhO1sZ

Abdulrahman fell as well.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCrpXqOeoK

Both of them looked toward Zira…

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CfGnTVnFB

silent forever.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4NFaW3sX6

And for the first time in years…

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfMqGdLiRF

Khaled could not find a single word to say.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdIIlTzygb

Hours later…

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8JixuNxae

the two stood before Zira’s grave.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaxyRVWFul

The air was still.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYvzHWDXQ1

And the silence felt heavier than the war itself.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpTgneGpEO

Then Wise Sef appeared.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uPM92ehDB

He stood before the grave for a long time…

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIwqz3BYS0

before quietly saying:

“He was… my dearest friend.”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fytMQBXck

Khaled suddenly looked at him.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoHiiAX7aN

Then asked:

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

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYv41dPp8U

Sef froze in place.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeAJ5g01tv

“…Did Zira tell you?”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ErEZR8kHF

Khaled slowly shook his head.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxEyd6sacb

“No.”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4SYJ6cJMQ

“Shado did.”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7G79USnBY

And in that instant—

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGjjRbpE1q

all calmness disappeared from Sef’s face.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiQrWcf6LY

“What?!”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxcWuK3oxg

He stepped toward him immediately.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6uWdoy1F2

“You spoke to him?!”

“He helped me.”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNYbEpfJle

Sef remained silent for a moment.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAOzUhUHXE

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.”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yKbdH7rQ8

Khaled clenched his fist.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbLaeUcian

Then quietly replied:

“But he saved us.”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLLl3Egvhq

Sef stared at him for a long time.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzhq8ZvtBR

Then slowly closed his eyes.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOkznogPLy

“…Then he has acknowledged you.”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1kvLJ4xzk

Elsewhere…

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbctrGED35

inside a dark frozen hall—

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKfeoDUoaS

a man sat upon a throne of ice.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUhPDH8dCA

His face hidden beneath the shadows.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDQ4Dw1JHz

But his blue eyes shone with deadly coldness.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDk3sPJY56P

The Ice King.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgc9C4VKmN

"Salman".

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTxoykSKon

One of the soldiers knelt before him.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHsN2MfC6l

“My lord…”

“Neol… has fallen.”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxMaqfFrBs

For a moment, the room became deathly quiet.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTj8I5d87y

Then Salman spoke calmly:

“Impossible.”

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

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5PxI7PCwr

The soldier swallowed his fear.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQH3y0oM4kg

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.”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQPxevFy87

Suddenly—

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BPvN4t7t3

the atmosphere inside the hall changed.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZCFz7D3tj

“…A black sword?”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHIdOnxQgL

Salman slowly rose from his throne.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpOfOHKU3a

“Has the Shadow Lord returned…?”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCDjP7pQo7

The silence inside the hall deepened.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiuLB7qpHI

Then Salman let out a cold, quiet laugh.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwHTapf4q2

“It does not matter…”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuEnHO5CJl

He turned toward the darkness behind him.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyfVMehAPD

“Can you do it, Rose?”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHcPkQumER

From within the shadows—

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ho1tjo9q8

a girl with icy eyes stepped forward.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7DUIpYOQ0

She bowed quietly.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMhXYKge1L

“As you command… my king.”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvE2qSOrSG

Salman smiled.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRmrrixRC6

But there was no warmth in that smile.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyPd0xXi8f

“Prepare yourselves, Aros…”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5IzkoQOou

The air inside the hall froze completely.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pK7zgCAM2

“Your own people…”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAo2lG5JLY

“…will be the ones who destroy you.”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvniDOEr58J

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

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.
