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

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJO92V9TwSC

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRgQsRTdlv

Deep silence… without end.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKPu8shPqJ

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

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FZxbTXpy5

Only emptiness.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1QkQ5Cjwg

A vast emptiness that seemed to swallow everything.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6xTRqcYk2

Then…

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM4YYrCMSa

something slowly began to appear.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN62JSMRISv

A throne.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIsm8GfkoO

A massive throne made of pure darkness.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHtwb3uTKZ

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

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGX0KUn4fh9

And upon it…

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjRVXZZhFs

sat a man.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzvqrklYUR

Ancient black armor covered in countless scars from forgotten battles.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDHWP4D6r6

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

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi65lGlNVWn

But the thing that terrified Khaled the most…

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiOTfSrHhW

was his eyes.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRRAOFfqlz

Calm…

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Xkkba0Y93

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

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOKhxGFY8E

“Who… are you?”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU1S3En4zT

Khaled’s voice came out broken.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLauJ8b6TN

The man gave a faint smile.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWyPYNSSj2

Then said:

“I am Shado.”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU8odpTX3B

Khaled froze instantly.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EmJUEq1m2

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

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38FoKGe0YP

The fire.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg6dpkaxm1

The screams.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixnwjVE3Qo

The blood of his parents.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgXCKJ09c0

“You…”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFortXBUBTU

Khaled clenched his fist violently.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5OFnWE2zg

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

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO22rk22sTQ

Shado continued staring at him calmly.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa3UAfS93l

Then said:

“Your grandfather was truly skilled…”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4A5aSFa49s

Khaled paused for a moment.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGr6hTczbS

“My grandfather…?”

“You didn’t know?”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5XNxNL68Q

Shado said it as if it were something completely ordinary.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs31v1J3ISl

“Wise Sef… is your grandfather.”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGf5uOSPUm

Khaled’s eyes widened in shock.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8IKM1amjs

“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVA8IAd2YI

For a brief moment, neither of them spoke.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJCIvSiM4e

But the rage inside Khaled slowly began to boil.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4U2exOJOP

Then Shado said:

“Now that you know the truth…”

“Leave.”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZPYVTVb5G

He slowly rose from the throne.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEieBEJ6huE

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

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCsflnhuw8

“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpwV8yATpO

The next instant—

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4MTsuaHjR

Khaled moved.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNu6w8o4ULo

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

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyC8Fmxhzx

But—

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA2yufa0eF

the darkness vanished before it could even touch him.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbufcizuBAf

As if Khaled’s power had been completely swallowed.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5gPxXc5W6

“You truly believe…”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFA9RknkJdp

Shado spoke with terrifying calmness.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBNonOkV3Z

“…that darkness can harm me?”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPt3cMsQTV2

Khaled charged again.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMouQrZH7rc

This time with his sword.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWst7EI5Eg4

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

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAgNmZv73w

The blade crashed against Shado’s armor.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfDIkIbTDv

But the armor did not move even slightly.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4zzcX7XqO

Then—

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fwcoozrao

a single strike from Shado.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyk4U5AwRG

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

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEu5yQQROK

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

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZn9Jp0P8A

He tried to stand.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxJtXA5w1R

Then fell.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNhaPSPjQI

Tried again.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQm64UVI6T

And collapsed once more.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxhQlsBeTo

Shado watched him silently.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dbLC1o1Kp

Then said:

“Weak…”

“But…”

His words paused for a moment.

“Stubborn.”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XtnEM8YzP

Khaled slowly lifted his head.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSkyAKSSfu

Blood ran from the corner of his mouth.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAxy392PRD

Yet his eyes never lowered.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpBYMGOykQ

“I won’t…”

He struggled to breathe.

“I won’t let him die…”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGXBpVsOLq

Then he stood once again.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1Ah8z5nq2

Slowly.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1adcomhJN

Shaking.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuA3OckP1vt

But standing nonetheless.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlPVVhaWXQ

At that moment…

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNShc0KKem

something in Shado’s gaze slightly changed.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqrfIkSOwM

“You remind me of them…”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOk5NoGt0I

He stepped closer.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvEgrHUq5w

“Your parents.”

“That foolish determination…”

“…before I killed them.”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSKSNufwys

Khaled’s breathing stopped.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoUQALx8aZ

Then—

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rEP0QJL3U

something exploded inside him.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi6ueBg1Xz

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

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WoFilyob0

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

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG40bxZIzwT

And suddenly—

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4OHiPGAns

the darkness began gathering within his hand.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIYdyzaNnX

Not as chains.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO9DAaTbZl

Not as an aura.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy04rF17305

But as a sword.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimPkyzYjXd

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

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoFphwQObN

And for the first time…

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDcXSBUtR0

Shado’s smile disappeared.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrntuqMbcTu

“Impossible…”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKq8ddLZ6S

His eyes fixed on the sword.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyv7g8zN5Au

“That ability…”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHpApKcAst

The next instant—

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjf3bOHbIjb

Khaled rushed forward.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14qP8jXnFu

He moved faster than before.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZiwBvRbq1

Not because he had fully become stronger…

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXC4tcRH2k

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

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD6ayrsCuZ

His strike broke through Shado’s defense.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKTSucXCbC

And for the first time—

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQUzKdkESj

a crack appeared on the black armor.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPbfssuDZk

The air itself felt frozen.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsjQ1JpLPU

Shado looked at the crack…

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTX2q66YdUK

then back at Khaled.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG6x5bxyoY

And Khaled was barely standing.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdsbFWxOvF

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

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0RQEBumHl

Then he fell to one knee.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqLGeJaAtS

Yet despite that…

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ioDCLz72O

he smiled.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb6OKEXajW

“I hit you…”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKizqI62H7t

A low laugh escaped from Shado.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z7L9NxW0u

Not mockery this time.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iNW8IcvB7

But genuine interest.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuW73GdFwu

“…Interesting.”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISmBQr7jx6

He slowly approached him.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZoNz7Ooyb

The purple aura began surrounding Khaled little by little.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKXOIcpWMb

“You use darkness in a very interesting way.”

“That is why…”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fcgzGjJqz

He looked directly into his eyes.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVLvvTsOfs

“I will help you…”

“…only this once.”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1b09xPo6Fs

In the next moment—

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8I28VWjawu

everything returned.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3dar3a0E0

The cold.

The ice.

The battle.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTIJB2bgN3

Khaled suddenly opened his eyes.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgwABuSvQs

Neol stood directly before Abdulrahman.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeg7v0awZEy

His ice blade raised—

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto7OzVW4Nt

only a single moment away from striking down.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfazslkbPGV

But before it could move—

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdchjCffo4

a massive shadow appeared in front of Abdulrahman.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTeNXdyppq

A shield.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDteO6RJdZ

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

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡch3BCjW5fW

For the first time—

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQxiw7IvFS

Neol’s eyes widened.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETjNrSgij6

As for Khaled…

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyCpkhX82J

something inside him had changed.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSdj2NFGKv

The power within his body no longer felt the same.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY63d3PWjg6

And in his hand—

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq69ZUE01B0

a sword appeared.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SrgsJJMOx

But not the sword he had created before.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBsqfvlcZW

This blade was far larger.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wbD8aHxLs

Heavier.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGk3g8Qkqls

A terrifying purple aura flowed from it endlessly.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn1Z7fw3ZY

“So…”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzOZ4tKEGe

Khaled whispered.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyjWxQOnSA

“This is your power, Shado…”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdGoA9pAOq

Shadow exploded beneath his feet.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33gN1wbJEs

And in a single instant—

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gRx2cuZFB

Khaled vanished.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqxQVQGNji

Neol tried to react—

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5sS9FREqS

but Khaled appeared directly in front of him.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZp4nk5qKBG

One strike.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRPd2KAisM

The black blade passed through the ice…

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNku3D19e7F

as if it had never existed at all.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenaMtGLlZq

Neol’s eyes widened.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WOHK37aNc

Then a dark line appeared across his body.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsw2bww2R0Y

And in the very next moment—

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGO86EaY7WK

the entire frozen battlefield exploded apart.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJbbqIg77C

Neol dropped to his knees.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91IxgvY1F6

The icy seal on his forehead slowly began to crack.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0iZ7qf2j9

Then—

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcW7PMlD5D

he collapsed.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKa8KmOTz7

The shadows surrounding Khaled gradually calmed.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxZdw6kQhw

And Abdulrahman felt the flames inside him finally stabilize again.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXc8qzeyEQc

Their wounds slowly began healing beneath the darkness surrounding them.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZAVRniuTo

But the power disappeared just as quickly.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfihDyHaiRz

Khaled collapsed to the ground from exhaustion.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7fAz0xCMG

Beside him…

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7PDRuqiiJ

Abdulrahman fell as well.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmt3kxjG9N

Both of them looked toward Zira…

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmka0uM2UV

silent forever.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwcSdDeHa4

And for the first time in years…

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE3D0sfcit

Khaled could not find a single word to say.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCPmppcsuv

Hours later…

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK4kpo5hrj

the two stood before Zira’s grave.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1W3MAusyNI

The air was still.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqv2DqlNauP

And the silence felt heavier than the war itself.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHTAxpY91Y

Then Wise Sef appeared.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUI3do5X0S2

He stood before the grave for a long time…

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0DkYHwSG9

before quietly saying:

“He was… my dearest friend.”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16SwIY876K

Khaled suddenly looked at him.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuo1HvdYFL

Then asked:

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

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHIw0PJT5f

Sef froze in place.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM7JD6mjdb

“…Did Zira tell you?”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1U7sMQhS8f

Khaled slowly shook his head.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG0q00kxvL

“No.”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCAtYpPGpn

“Shado did.”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT1eqbCzt7

And in that instant—

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FibThjzF9

all calmness disappeared from Sef’s face.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgOecs9GEd

“What?!”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kd2eOI7yf

He stepped toward him immediately.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKzKTEEBSA

“You spoke to him?!”

“He helped me.”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB229HuoaWZ

Sef remained silent for a moment.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbXCEcAG6M

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qyg92W7aE

Khaled clenched his fist.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Bt6x1G4Oy

Then quietly replied:

“But he saved us.”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOl0NbEyiYG

Sef stared at him for a long time.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbksLgCehA

Then slowly closed his eyes.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAc4zyQWNl

“…Then he has acknowledged you.”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLp7OZveGEz

Elsewhere…

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHb1pmFJPhc

inside a dark frozen hall—

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yi6b7ZbT1

a man sat upon a throne of ice.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrdLUKf4nP

His face hidden beneath the shadows.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqatR5aNSg

But his blue eyes shone with deadly coldness.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqjBeMCCGN

The Ice King.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKYpPvYiG5

"Salman".

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeBTx8jSoQ

One of the soldiers knelt before him.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrC3PEkf7e

“My lord…”

“Neol… has fallen.”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpYrRuvSi0

For a moment, the room became deathly quiet.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExVBGjytFe

Then Salman spoke calmly:

“Impossible.”

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

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6Avr40tLM

The soldier swallowed his fear.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AdkKWBQMf

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gdsRon7ZU

Suddenly—

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHPB97oGjx

the atmosphere inside the hall changed.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqRLvIDXp6

“…A black sword?”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJMnzO0vox

Salman slowly rose from his throne.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDEZThCGIA

“Has the Shadow Lord returned…?”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1HgKTLfDt

The silence inside the hall deepened.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUXB3rnE5G

Then Salman let out a cold, quiet laugh.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qmmfcAxoa

“It does not matter…”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3qMMMWxTm

He turned toward the darkness behind him.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYR7CeM1y1

“Can you do it, Rose?”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdo0hepzSk

From within the shadows—

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntT7C8G9Cp

a girl with icy eyes stepped forward.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoOXp92K6v

She bowed quietly.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44af7IMfTn

“As you command… my king.”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl26jOxjsgF

Salman smiled.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12ab1r2vQY

But there was no warmth in that smile.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu53ktPq3E

“Prepare yourselves, Aros…”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nUZ2MEwiW

The air inside the hall froze completely.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymQ7SvUlLH

“Your own people…”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt2cpBBeI6

“…will be the ones who destroy you.”

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaSbMDUHmU

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

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.
