15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JzliSadvB

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

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVoYLCuXXo

The icy blade descended directly toward Khaled's head.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8iT6kElyj

But—

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFuNirbBbZ

At the very last moment...

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz30XGu4XcZ

He remembered his grandfather's words.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtBRLar6el

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

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvw9tWAzof

"It's inside you."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6dtH7BJMa

Khaled's eyes widened.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzDiPLBCys

Then he grabbed the shattered ring stone lying beside him.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7ybo7S5Fk

Without hesitation—

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYEtyk8uxi

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

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k4HDv7RLC

Silence fell.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4bCBsXFMR

For a single second.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTDy5GoF0f

Then—

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRH0gQOisC

BOOOOOOOOOOOM!!

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgHBMD1ZNs

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

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr6MuOKmJk

The ground trembled.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrDrTiWiVh

The hills cracked apart.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZFs8MPSod

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

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuRHbytOtW

Abdulrahman's eyes widened.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsBBq4SXBM

"K-Khaled?!"

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vJGbs4Xvn

A colossal storm of darkness spiraled around him.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlr5No2Yw5

Then it slowly began to take shape.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqOzdE6tRC

Black armor.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5FhcXrJKU

Similar to Shadow Lord's armor.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWSaZlQnMS

But lighter.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7SferRW7v

More practical.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAIfaLvLZr

Built for a true warrior.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8z8xNGywe

As for the sword...

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5ckR5r442

It had changed completely.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkb8bK9VXR

Longer.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNWSXb9Koo

Wider.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeW5MxWbss

Glowing violet lines ran across the blade.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWzZ1W1cjw

Slowly, Khaled raised his head.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgFteOFyQ8

Both of his eyes had become completely violet.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ161P1nUBMz

Radius smiled.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpfZ8oJuiw

"Much better."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKFR6ymhuP

He tightened his grip on his sword.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDlUrvpxp5

"Show me."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8jLHlhvpv

Khaled vanished.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsKjXMdwAV

Radius vanished as well.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFpvHT7rQo

CLAAAAAAAAAANG!!

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ojoZ15SMG

The earth shook.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXMDZNUVvC

Their blades collided at the center of the battlefield.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBN6Ah10Un

Then—

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjcdSNKbfx

CLANG!!

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt84wh7JYd

CLANG!!

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQlgFD5oIU

CLANG!!

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchxTCIJ7hm

CLANG!!

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4b38kNVfn

Black and blue sparks filled the sky.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsttrIO7uqU

One strike.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXVvIo0OIo

Another.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S0CWleFEB

A third.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRq7LdvtEd

A tenth.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF8Ox2mhxG

Then—

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUgXbTnENR

For the first time...

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbxyzABOfX

Radius took a step backward.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyWVSMJKtE

Abdulrahman's eyes widened.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVyWW7GZPn

"He pushed him back!"

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OQF46nzDN

Khaled immediately pressed the advantage.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTawgukPdi

A powerful horizontal slash.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeosfmE9B4

Radius was forced to raise his sword to defend.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7zJIkSUDP

Then Khaled appeared behind him.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyNpAtX0QE

Then above him.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItOZbz6wOM

Then in front of him.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlwp6sK6tS

A relentless barrage of attacks.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHNrgIgVPk

Not giving him a single moment to breathe.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhrFZkGseb

But—

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sG1WtntUx

Suddenly.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcD5FSnHi3e

Radius laughed.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSS6UMXVEN

A short, calm laugh.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAWMDeXAm1

"Excellent."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvcIR5S4Jh

He raised his head.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2YUK0ZcJc

The icy seal on his forehead began to glow.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGzmvsDiDa

❄️ Frost Domain

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1PYLqWJWb

He drove the tip of his sword into the ground.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9mWfOIhqY

BOOOOOOOOM!!

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLyMx2AKFR

Massive circles of ice spread in every direction.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6U87JYuR6

The entire battlefield transformed into a frozen wasteland.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraHB2V7bUO

Khaled paused for a moment.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHx6Np6X6C

Then charged.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZP4Av1bHp

But—

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGg1j6zqalP

Something felt wrong.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BoXymLhee

His attack was slower.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SNaOb9hYK

Only slightly.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J6sBzxYD9

But Radius dodged it effortlessly.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNZ8uxVYIr

Then counterattacked.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5M3Yfjznh

A slash tore through Khaled's armor.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Lnz5lhBPE

Khaled's eyes widened.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkzkxvjBPv

"Impossible..."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJOD3H5NDX

He attacked again.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMkBqWJsfK

The same result.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgFlFIXWW5

Every movement.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kSxCyPVN0

Every step.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKAwwN3nWn

Every turn.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnFT7snAuU

Slightly slower.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6li4awhoDa

Another strike landed.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoXJLz9gSl

Then another.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DhhidwMfh

Then another.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRytvHbfLei

Until blood began dripping from Khaled's mouth.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvyY0o95Kx

He retreated while breathing heavily.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj77yaaHeIo

"What is happening?"

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTXcaArKOY

He looked at the ground.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPfTjG8e8m

The ice.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gPZvs97zg

Then his feet.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH07DIxap6C

And suddenly—

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEeTwSmAXM

He understood.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNCRAkk6bm

His eyes widened.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlprXRih79v

"It's not me..."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvS3KclfXH

"The battlefield itself is slowing me down."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51CDYgH220

Radius smiled.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUfhBflemj

"You figured it out."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTvqFZbnDq

But Khaled didn't smile.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBAir5OCgT

Instead, he closed his eyes.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMqZBpDMS3

Focused.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvqoQU4jsx

The shadows beneath his feet began gathering.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDDJVJmLHe

Then—

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBo5L2jhJW

He disappeared into them.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N1yaZUao3

Moving through shadows instead of across the frozen ground.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHssAOmCjP

Suddenly—

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhIprXrADD

He appeared in front of Radius.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrrdVKUfiJ

SLASH!!

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bYYEjBhEg

A fresh wound appeared on the knight's shoulder.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVw6tT461i

Radius looked at the injury.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XnXPGdyw8

Then smiled.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuMgPDWi5F

A smile of genuine admiration.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DOQcKYEPK

"So you've adapted."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMFiwHpmOo

He raised his sword once more.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrePGvnkG1a

"In that case..."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpM4lTZ09e

"I'll reveal the next card."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9oA4lFAUd

❄️ Frozen Echo

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxw2fgxJDW

"The Frozen Echo."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs5JIqvsnx

He swung his sword only once.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec2qgwgGbo

Khaled dodged effortlessly.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5wfNudqXr

"Missed."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HMGkZUykj

But—

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BY253bB91

SLASH!!

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEhtvF38gA

A deep wound suddenly appeared across his back.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHCZVuqWga

His eyes widened.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNA72wkQlO

"What?!"

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWBofBBg0x

He looked around.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTR9EXEheS0

Nothing.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT35tRPwAp6

No one.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssfCfgexOQ

Then a second strike came.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPAwZket7c

A third.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxmf5Zbrxh

A fourth.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8Mi4tugXh

Every attack he avoided...

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxodYdCN7q

Returned seconds later from another direction.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKVrr66NaN

As if it were hunting him.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75Ct71WFH4

The wounds continued to increase.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHT6T3OmNC

Blood flowed.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1i94gqPAT

The black armor began to crack.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68xBm0eBYC

Yet Khaled never stopped thinking.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyPi69qzUX

He observed.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6O2b67INX

Waited.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgJRrnPlyj

Analyzed.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkajiTEVYZ

Another attack flew past him.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQzhvh7XX4

He immediately struck it.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAERkvdzM4

The icy slash shattered.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaBbil4ZtC

His eyes widened.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Uckta233v

Then he smiled.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11K8iIZIFC

At last...

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3SGGLuj3r

He understood.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa1OpX8oiy

Radius raised an eyebrow.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkc4vypgmf

"Oh?"

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhSfiRJ85k

Khaled wiped the blood from his mouth.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8w7DfBUzl

Then looked at the frozen traces floating in the air.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9m7u7ObJ3f

"Those aren't new attacks."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDs9v26r8X

"They're remnants of your previous ones."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEJ6vxhKHU

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

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPQ7RFPLtu

"And that imprint attacks again moments later."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8IeTBbBRj

Silence followed.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsEHeenKAQ

Then—

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmnCpAXlNu

Radius smiled.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡke3okd6HpO

A smile of genuine respect.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ050A8CVBNk

"Interesting."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQR9JIeeLif

"It took me years to master that technique."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6TZ5CH1RM

"And you deciphered it in minutes."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlaH84OOKl

In the distance—

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuR9WNrw5D

Abdulrahman listened.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XMSwsf94r

Despite his injuries.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvDYKB6Qow

Despite his exhaustion.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaHU2B5h4r

He couldn't stop himself from smiling.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9BiR5mzf1

"Heh..."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOKbRqWPNO

"That's the Khaled I know."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qT1tktVvd

But—

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKm57nhBtA

Radius raised his sword again.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX798KCSkEE

The smile vanished from his face.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2KSHM7cyB

"Unfortunately..."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1SsYNPdgQ

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

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxarvaqw5F0

CLANG!!

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2ntICyyq0

Another strike.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FMv9PHwGL

But this time—

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQfnUkPJIF

Khaled destroyed the frozen echo before it could reach him.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZeB8fNpZs

Then the second.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPkk5l6tkT

The third.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVFrBaXJSj

The fourth.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiYU8GxBZg

He was adapting.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgN4B0VBh8

And getting closer.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxAsfxwklP

SLASH!!

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNSPXXSPEP

A new wound appeared on Radius's arm.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEUv19jS4Y

Then another.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUta3GwIlF

On his shoulder.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ297r83Nj1c

Then a third.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6atweAqvlk

Across his icy armor.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZGUvjhsLU

For the first time since the battle began...

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuO2XA9tg2

The knight was being pushed back.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhysrk5NXv9

One step.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMjEPxYJHB

Then another.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPlpeB8Drw

Abdulrahman's eyes widened.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKqIMZWiLb

"He's forcing Radius back!"

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI804q4XooS

But suddenly—

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMhYVByEjr

Radius stopped.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ThrbG6MNV

Looked down at the wounds covering his body.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfrPP8d3SK

Then sighed.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHr3pyZPLoO

"I suppose..."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCe5s3nhVj

"It's time to stop playing."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZNDIJoxwy

The icy seal shone brighter than ever before.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXM2nZE0WhR

This time—

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZsEH2O4k6

Even the air itself trembled.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rKcH6g4F6

❄️ Royal Ice Armor

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0Hv3kPGuc

BOOOOOOOOM!!

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZNJCrrHml

Blue energy erupted from his body.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIlcBbOJVB

Layers of ice formed over his armor.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8oaSyUKhB

But this wasn't ordinary ice.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgBaNVjtyp

It resembled legendary metal.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAGVS9BKUB

Shining.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzYRbgQ0vY

Sharp.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOx9itmsIG8

Heavy.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ87FMUft9H

Khaled attacked immediately.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGFqy0WTNi

Striking with all his strength.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAxH9qAvVJ

CLAAAAAAANG!!

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJahzxxsQcQ

The ground shook violently.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EEFmLiewX

But—

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsEj1BfPso

Radius didn't move.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdtBq1FfAP

Not even a single centimeter.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfYwtjmQce

Khaled's eyes widened.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpfBaXRI5x

"What?!"

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37bAJaLW94

He attacked again.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcouPrMsovE

Then again.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3Ljb0qcCG

Then ten more times.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17ahi3wziP

The result never changed.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ271T2pjDfN

No damage.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1jGP6PvP6

No wounds.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsy5zFx0YF

Nothing.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7rEzs7eqc

Worse yet—

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdQhYPSXDN

His hand began freezing with every strike.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp89k5Dbl2J

He quickly retreated.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N386ixEsu

Looking down at his fingers.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8pTXTkGUG

A layer of ice had formed over them.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ftxv1M68U

Radius smiled.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOwDHQG6h5

"Now do you understand?"

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFpPPqnuhh

"This armor doesn't merely defend."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMLA0KUcxv

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

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoacucPkYcU

Abdulrahman's eyes widened.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoAqSQ3I5V

"It reflects damage?!"

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoPyvNmX6u

Radius answered calmly.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMwygYFyVX

"Only part of it."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadk8G7NZLg

"But that's enough."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UC3qaVyrS

Khaled looked at his hand.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlitIzbCl3y

Then his sword.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMd9EpRM7n

Then the armor.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTsKtmv1rN

"I see."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1polJ4ARQz

"Then I won't attack it directly."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcmHg6ipZI

He vanished into the shadows.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDdl9BHLaG

Appearing from the side.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡby3YXj6thl

Then behind.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg5UzDECZL

Then above.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtw4hm1nJl

Dozens of attacks.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pc41y1NhL

From every direction.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AKmTcyURv

But—

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRi5uWAyAE

Radius blocked them all.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUWKhnmYjF

Like an immovable wall.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡia9RjmycEP

Khaled's breathing grew heavier.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0Bt20A9iF

His body weaker.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4PTSD64pB

Meanwhile—

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKm7TLvNmoj

Radius still stood firm.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS4IiP6vz8

Like a mountain.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIsATmv4Ju

Then—

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk5m4sgPbp

Abdulrahman suddenly shouted.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVPxherMA9

"Khaled!"

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAsJO9M43B

Khaled looked toward him.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUp8Bc0EGs

"The right knee!"

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9MbNHWygD

His eyes widened.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkUxIhRCBz

He remembered.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5pTkVHOI4

Earlier...

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltJ4fcr03L

When Radius blocked the massive fireball...

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20jDD5BgXV

There had been a brief opening.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mkTlTav7r

A weakness.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVSDYLWCpg

At the right knee.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXxaD5V0ex

Khaled vanished instantly.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vDrtx4IjW

Appearing beneath Radius.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uTCtA7CG1

SLASH!!

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrc36AGYoDQ

A small wound appeared.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQllipCU8g

Tiny.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7bOTDijsa

But—

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoR4qW3H9Hj

It was there.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysusFaRYOm

Silence fell.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq9fDRQotR

Radius stared at the injury.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjocEXnwyO

For the first time...

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIwBIlVNut

His smile disappeared.

"You found even that..."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mt5VsxVrf

Abdulrahman grinned despite his injuries.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwnobHBM4F

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

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ctQDls3Kq

Radius laughed.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBt3b0rhyy

A short laugh.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhCSsZ5fv3

Yet it carried something unexpected.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunLUqZIi6h

Admiration.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDB4Kg9nylM

"I admit it..."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQuqRffpjT

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

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0q39h2qvn

Then he raised his sword toward the sky.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDDXngFNYu

Every smile disappeared.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH7DMZglwx

Every trace of amusement vanished.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrzCP3eF3Z

His entire expression changed.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTp6QmRpTL

"Which is exactly why..."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxJrfPpPBr

"I'm going to use it."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT8bK5ysI5

The air froze.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqmixgGJxF

The blue flames around Abdulrahman froze.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7ZlDF9asD

Even the shadows surrounding Khaled began moving more slowly.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hTXn7fGlO

Both of them widened their eyes.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGK4tGUpwB

Because they felt something terrifying.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFRYeXRfWT

Something that made their instincts scream.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4858kmxOVx

Run.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL71armw18q

But Radius continued.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm22ixb4ZM

"Now..."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaEs0nK9hU

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

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAUJJ0883Y

❄️ Absolute Zero Slash

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC8F7LyvNo

"The Slash of Absolute Zero."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33Dtr2MCdd

Energy began gathering around the blade.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH745RLTIm

More.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMGmNE3KXE

And more.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KCKakioLD

And more.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VB7YmRK6K

Until the ground started cracking from the cold.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVzZ1ztdHp

The rocks froze solid.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesRYk1YGHP

The wind ceased completely.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHz3sfTrm8y

Even Abdulrahman found it difficult to breathe.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eZMLVzMqe

Radius looked at them.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYLcz9SaiP

There was no enjoyment left in his eyes.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSgLORVVzY

No excitement.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScjO2wRybw

Only seriousness.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIrkTblR1X

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

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPMa3NiI80

He slowly lowered the blade.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nPRh9IWGs

"And now..."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipotKVIeit

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