79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99oWhN81Xt

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9zE6p6jrS

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsfoPeKazN

The air froze for a moment.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqwnKsTZN6

Even Khaled felt that her name alone carried something unnatural.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt46XxZHQ0

Rose slowly stepped down from the ice-

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡls5vfVYe5P

covered rocks.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxczVGsxJby

Her footsteps made no sound.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHwXfzOf60

As if the cold itself was carrying her.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78mhyHMLRf

She stopped directly in front of them.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGn9GIiBho

Her icy blue eyes shifted toward Khaled.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlii3b8HKp2

Then a faint smile appeared on her face.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI82qoJDGs

“You look a lot like them…”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYQz9hougY

Khaled narrowed his eyes.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhngqh1tZA5

“Like who?”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUsVAER1f5

But Saif answered instead, his voice filled with anger:

“Do not speak their names.”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16qeH12iOT

Rose looked at him calmly.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv10q5VkRzC

“Luna… and Kiz.”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiDXrMhrJz

In the next moment—

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCwhTfAgkR

Khaled’s expression completely changed.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRkwEp2GzJ

The air around him grew heavier.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXJkcLnPHg

“You knew my parents?”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqMbecfby4

Rose laughed softly.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHMyFb95eM

“We knew each other very well.”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL35QPQVhsv

The freezing wind slowly moved around her.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7ft6goxCt

“We were all students of Master Saif.”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9xKZHWBrc

Then she looked directly at the old man.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Y4ek407Zj

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

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqgM52ea4h

Saif’s expression hardened.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mloISLUX2

“You were never weak.”

“You were simply greedy.”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTiT7cfx7Q

The smile on Rose’s face slowly faded.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSDb6SuOnj

Then she spoke in a calm voice:

“Greedy?”

“No…”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHvCNjjFvM

She slowly raised her hand.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZeTpF61t8

Crystals of ice began forming around her fingers.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfiJ60Lisu

“I simply refused to remain weak.”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKNi13KFmX

In a single moment—

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60g5CmT4qQ

Ice exploded around her.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBmS7bmbHP

The sound of freezing echoed throughout the forest.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHACuiWTSqp

Even the ground beneath them rapidly turned white with frost.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOAWc0I7hu

“Luna and Kiz died because they were weak.”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4Vjnv8YPk

She said it while staring directly at Khaled.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vJZIhBVal

“As for me…”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YHLjx5aSb

A cold smile appeared on her face.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrROxGENAVv

“The Ice King granted me power.”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBzOoAb3iw

Khaled tightened his grip on his sword.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQhzhZL7jr

A weak shadow aura slowly moved beneath his feet.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzI0SdlYvt

But it was unstable.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1D6OcgNnh

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

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeKRkUP9jP

He could barely use the aura now…

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiotnF9OwI

And was relying mostly on swordsmanship alone.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlr3CxLWqO

“Do not mention them again.”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyKk1kN7EK

Rose’s smile widened slightly.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLW06iXZYeh

“And what will you do?”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3rYteQtYQ

In the next moment—

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9tSrTEKcd

Khaled rushed forward instantly.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1twNLPAzJK

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

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzi6lM38yl

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

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xDRMdJniF

But suddenly—

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDPqDjGKic

Another blade blocked his strike.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWdQxLPeov

Fiery sparks exploded into the air.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBktfsZmsgN

Khaled’s eyes widened in shock.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSqahoqQqG

“…Abdulrahman?”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCu5TSIod4r

Abdulrahman stood directly in front of Rose.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOChXnmJ8ON

His eyes were empty.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WRCV2MmN3

Without emotion.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRom7PNAgu

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

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWB3oCEwcW

“Move out of the way!”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpClTv44dzT

Khaled shouted angrily.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZUeY5kLSm

But Abdulrahman immediately attacked him.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycCGl1J3BN

A fast strike forced Khaled backward.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46JeJk5iha

The two swords collided violently.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGYQnCdE7R

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

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7PuLJHUMK

But Khaled was not fighting seriously.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjmZNMN3Q2

He kept retreating.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrNYMGUECw

Trying to understand what was happening.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPp4iDeiPxz

“He’s under her control!”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3r3h0cPpS

Saif shouted.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUouJ0OB8Uk

Then he quickly raised his staff.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH0kP0IW9v

Glowing blue symbols appeared around Abdulrahman.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YcsDSsVvH

But Rose smiled calmly.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWCDlAr9yD

“That won’t work.”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSLjzAPHen

She slowly lifted one finger.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4xqQfOSLF

Suddenly—

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxNQFaJsuh

Abdulrahman’s eyes changed.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxSvtVaP9K

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

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhm9ISOvCS

Then the flames around his body erupted even more violently.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG9Z4drQt1

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

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY85pr6qFvu

Rose said proudly.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigw0qeWbnw

“Complete control over the mind.”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5Zeji2tGZ

Abdulrahman suddenly disappeared from sight.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FMQSWaxZZ

In the next instant—

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxG5BOl6Yx

He appeared directly behind Khaled.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc4DEDIJkS

A massive wave of fire exploded toward him.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXe1rfEppow

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

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sgdA0pCem

The impact violently pushed him across the ground.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ618nTPcWjc

The earth cracked beneath his feet.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudNtC7U84e

“Khaled!”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiap6TE1vQ

he shouted desperately.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXKxs82sdX

“Wake up!”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrZ7pqgdjE

But nothing changed.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPwdVEWuUk

Abdulrahman stood silently.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuK9s2iaWpi

Then slowly raised his sword again.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYGaO2Yv8O

At that moment—

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusPN8mguts

Saif finally intervened.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtX6AydZ1R

A powerful strike from his staff stopped Abdulrahman briefly.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oaFny9XoU

Glowing spells surrounded his body.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGlvfM5G96

“Wake up, boy!”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtXnB9MsfW

the old master shouted.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT11Vui7B9E

Abdulrahman’s body trembled.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5vhxO8SPt

The flames around him became unstable.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRByUM94Pvj

And for one brief moment—

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQ9YEO2LH8

His eyes returned to normal.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvqWFA8rwI

“K… Khaled…”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThwIJr6hMz

But before he could continue—

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbF7LHCzih

Rose smiled.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kXypjdEZL

This time, her smile felt terrifying.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWG3sKRtcn

Then she slowly closed her hand.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2ATg29upX

Suddenly—

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvR9aC0hLT

Abdulrahman froze.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6vwr85jwt

Then raised his head once more.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6qvYQPS7j

And the terrifying emptiness returned to his eyes.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPv5zreS3x

Rose let out a quiet sigh.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupoL2ccB5J

“I entered his mind myself.”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlzKqilOxS

Then she looked at Khaled.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRKRpThR1h

“And there…”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJoB9pWjzL

Her smile widened.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwCSqDQYNx

“I found a chained monster named Zero.”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwvbjS6z2Z

Khaled’s expression instantly changed.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ya1hBH51a

“What?”

“We made a deal.”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYu3zDCc0F

She said it as if it were nothing.

“He allows me to control Abdulrahman…”

“And in return…”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvLHgw1ut2

Her smile briefly froze.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAj1c7qWYk

“I free him.”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4BXHpjyLV

The flames around Abdulrahman suddenly exploded.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRp9BUEqjsq

But this time—

They were unstable.

Chaotic.

Violent.

Terrifying.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mjiLFrodS

Even Saif felt the danger.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4w8dQNTcV

“Rose…”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN628DTtfHs

His voice became heavier.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVz3k5Dbsfc

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

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSvUaiHgVp

But she laughed.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIvBDPXmuY

“No…”

“I understand perfectly.”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrvwPqwLF9

Then she slowly raised her hand toward Khaled.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mBmHASGLz

“After I control all of you…”

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

“And then…”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNMYvs2nB5

She closed her eyes with a cold smile.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsNhsuEjLG

“The king will be very pleased.”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi740chvGrZ

Khaled rushed forward again.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAM4GZoEUAY

But Abdulrahman instantly blocked his path.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZXnP1sLg9

Fast strikes.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDTZvVwFi1

Fire and shadow clashing repeatedly.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyIj6axgDd

Explosions echoed through the forest.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuqjdvZg9U

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

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuoH4Nvhrh

But the real problem…

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGBTcGBZeB

Was that Khaled did not want to hurt his friend.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9cR5KWaq5

And it showed clearly.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlyZXYVcAk

Every strike from him carried hesitation.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWEbMUdajQ

Restraint.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYZHNUFL8k

Which slowly allowed Abdulrahman to overpower him.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ1f6gpNWJ

“Master!”

Khaled shouted.

“Help me!”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Pi80wuuZK

But…

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aAfGfvwPR

No response came.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYFoYYBZPT

Khaled’s eyes widened in shock.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnl9rom0Csh

He quickly turned—

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcP3kk7tAcI

Only to find Saif standing motionless.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3NJzRE51D

His eyes…

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3LYZSADWX

Completely empty.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PacJHdNbv

Rose smiled calmly.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxQBC8Ga3J

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

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxolWJmCrW

In the next moment—

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnEPWABoo1

Saif began walking toward Khaled.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcrDYmIslk

Slowly.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZQ8ououfe

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

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvS4SewdQ7q

And now…

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Fx1BLcGXd

He stood facing his master… and his closest friend…

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbCV1oxg9h

Both trying to kill him.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAph9ZsbnS

Khaled slowly took a step back.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4VTlQ4FJs

His breath grew heavy.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFpezOebIm

Not from fear…

But from pressure.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIsyedlT1L

The pressure of battle.

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

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPA5VEwYsU

He gripped his sword even tighter.

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

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUABrCCnHf7

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

Empty eyes.

Without a hint of hesitation.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3RAP2GdA1

And between them…

Rose watched the scene with a cold smile.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uq1Olimhy

“What’s wrong, Khaled?”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAUIxllgTj

She said quietly.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGR4tNwlf2J

“Aren’t you going to fight?”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWut2YVx8p

The first strike came.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVY59D4SaWJ

Saif appeared before him faster than he had anticipated.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGXfvy58Lz

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

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSXWXk6aPh

A loud crash echoed through the forest.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqJlZ0wbWA

Khaled felt his arm shake from the impact.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Wwj31DpkB

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

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAACdQcXBEb

Abdulrahman.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sPquHxFdU

A swift horizontal strike forced him to duck instantly.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCqprnUAXJ

The fire passed directly over his head.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yGJUMznzj

Its heat was enough to scorch some of his hair.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Br0Qmtecr

Khaled jumped back quickly.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNffAwKG4Xu

Then he looked at them in shock.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevsmFpllUG

“They just won’t stop…” Rose smiled.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5vEQPQ7L4

“Because I’ve taken away their hesitation.”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTW93QdOGC

Then she slowly raised a finger.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNle3alEaR0

“But you…” Her smile widened slightly.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4XoZzONCY

“You’re still too faint-hearted.”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oq5592bpC

The next moment—

They attacked him together.

Saif from the front.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUTJRPpWxk

And Abdul Rahman from the side.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQz4MIV90s

The staff and the fiery sword struck Khaled almost simultaneously.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tIXbYozb5

He tried to block both blows—

but he failed.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkVptNDPvO

Saif’s strike propelled him forward.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqTPxQColK

The next moment, fire erupted on his shoulder.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHO44uMWOsR

He stumbled backward violently, crashing into a tree trunk.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0adrA8XSR

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

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwdSfB6dob

Khaled groaned with difficulty.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8JqVXL4Qu

Then he slowly raised his head.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUjRCCw0l0

Rose was approaching.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO3I99F79D

Calm.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJiuLEDCi6

Confident.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bRCBcOH4r

“See?”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHx4ssRMW4k

The icy aura around her intensified.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUsynSaXP6

“You’re not like your parents.”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEQFRVIqgQ

“They were ready to sacrifice everything.”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJ0Gkgs9Vs

Then she looked at Abdul Rahman.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcniWPG9lTy

“But you…”

She pointed at Khalid.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVd8sWuot4

“You can’t even hit your own friend.”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWobHZdCk3U

Khalid clenched his fist tightly.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2WFs3o2Wo

Her words struck him.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3V5ceMsZDl

And that was exactly what she wanted.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDigAk1aIE

Suddenly—

Abdul Rahman reappeared.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOofyebq0Q

A bullet shot straight to his face.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYeDKFzMdn

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

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0YcuMkyA6

Fire erupted around them.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKFWKHNERg

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

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59G8rRvml6

Abdul Rahman moved closer.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenyUEsyIuQ

Then he whispered, his voice faint and broken:

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvrQVMv6rm

“…Run…”

Khalid’s eyes widened.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKuOUQKh0K

“Abdul Rahman?!”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGXQkC29qg

But his eyes immediately went blank again.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqX402yEumg

Then he shoved Khalid violently.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTkifygKLe

Khalid flew several meters above the ground before tumbling heavily.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk7ino4dGZ

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

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjTzASPpS4

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

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DZabq029B

“Damn it…” He looked toward the pendant.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbszPSvUbSl

Then he closed his hand over it.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpkVGDPxZl

“Shadow…”

No response.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeVGzHXxRP

“You bastard, help me!”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2oj2CPvlz

The darkness inside the pendant remained silent.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4aGVvhhxH

Rose approached slowly.

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTIXv8CyaA

Prepare for destruction...

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQeiBWmd3z

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

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.79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQCSQh6e6s
