Title: Shadow of the Eternal Flame - Chapter 5 : The Second Enemy ( Part 2 )

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxRznaBlZf

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSI2Y7fidTE

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZal4WUSLI

The air froze for a moment.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3zJPmYTIF

Even Khaled felt that her name alone carried something unnatural.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cjswJKnue

Rose slowly stepped down from the ice-

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYEK9xp4IR

covered rocks.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrRLuaiPwp

Her footsteps made no sound.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyzfUCIVAs

As if the cold itself was carrying her.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkaJP4dA9G

She stopped directly in front of them.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UxRKdR4Sv

Her icy blue eyes shifted toward Khaled.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx8fnQyEAA

Then a faint smile appeared on her face.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMY3QpaTEbS

“You look a lot like them…”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSxis0Q58T

Khaled narrowed his eyes.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8VNn3uj1l

“Like who?”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgZyTm7SH6

But Saif answered instead, his voice filled with anger:

“Do not speak their names.”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Qd8mr2CbS

Rose looked at him calmly.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJDcyt3aTf

“Luna… and Kiz.”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFByatK4GQp

In the next moment—

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSwrSLeB7k

Khaled’s expression completely changed.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvzRnFGkpR

The air around him grew heavier.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncrS0UyK7B

“You knew my parents?”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFp5gTCJHHQ

Rose laughed softly.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8D9YTH6pY

“We knew each other very well.”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxssk9Ikbo9

The freezing wind slowly moved around her.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Rf0uONvmR

“We were all students of Master Saif.”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4SkXMqwBo

Then she looked directly at the old man.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWthFu1jYe

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

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIRSW8Rrgi

Saif’s expression hardened.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJCmmEXs6y

“You were never weak.”

“You were simply greedy.”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ410eKzwrT5

The smile on Rose’s face slowly faded.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1A4jHUExoR

Then she spoke in a calm voice:

“Greedy?”

“No…”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubz8Uwrlzy

She slowly raised her hand.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMHySMeHuE

Crystals of ice began forming around her fingers.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzI0WGwxOP

“I simply refused to remain weak.”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaA6hhQCDsG

In a single moment—

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCga6BzvuK

Ice exploded around her.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJ8szOp9Pl

The sound of freezing echoed throughout the forest.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTK1aLJBzT

Even the ground beneath them rapidly turned white with frost.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9nkVUFPFQ

“Luna and Kiz died because they were weak.”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSpiDbgGvq

She said it while staring directly at Khaled.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFUYtIfP7u

“As for me…”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA5gOkVmlX

A cold smile appeared on her face.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqYCWWY0Qv

“The Ice King granted me power.”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTP2g1I8lO7

Khaled tightened his grip on his sword.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLACBfSppmx

A weak shadow aura slowly moved beneath his feet.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh5n16O6Ye

But it was unstable.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvN7DWgcYVU

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

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eMaLHFtrZ

He could barely use the aura now…

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGk6aLK1Z0

And was relying mostly on swordsmanship alone.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Vx2agAadt

“Do not mention them again.”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUxmxIeGYF

Rose’s smile widened slightly.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtHLvVjlsO

“And what will you do?”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUHn0AAcRL

In the next moment—

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPCUyoS2l4

Khaled rushed forward instantly.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrD6K2cpqfD

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

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6rRR3RU0p

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

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnhmPDHF7K

But suddenly—

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LUUDk765A

Another blade blocked his strike.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm12CErvXUd

Fiery sparks exploded into the air.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxNzx32pzD

Khaled’s eyes widened in shock.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMANQHLMHCn

“…Abdulrahman?”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBVextD4oM

Abdulrahman stood directly in front of Rose.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuTycF9op4

His eyes were empty.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgfEcHCsOC

Without emotion.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjia0z8eWW

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

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5RnAy8WTV

“Move out of the way!”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ9Ksh63EP

Khaled shouted angrily.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQEcT7Y5mK

But Abdulrahman immediately attacked him.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPvSbfgMrS

A fast strike forced Khaled backward.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6Wt4c5CQx

The two swords collided violently.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibkzDv2CTh

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

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixbiaRDzWV

But Khaled was not fighting seriously.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkt8qicNG3

He kept retreating.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOf4K052oY

Trying to understand what was happening.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEx8SicZt8

“He’s under her control!”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpTvCEBNmb

Saif shouted.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLk8IZd9Lg

Then he quickly raised his staff.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG13czjr60

Glowing blue symbols appeared around Abdulrahman.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hwEYKbhky

But Rose smiled calmly.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPunNGhS7h

“That won’t work.”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSHLuqMtyw

She slowly lifted one finger.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwvtSGGyFz

Suddenly—

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUvSnv0VSa

Abdulrahman’s eyes changed.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVDD43zVA4

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

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbSlygUecO

Then the flames around his body erupted even more violently.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcETD8n8lEm

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

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUt578IhxY

Rose said proudly.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6k9YbnHUXo

“Complete control over the mind.”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0JCLeXWMO

Abdulrahman suddenly disappeared from sight.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvtDgiG4PO

In the next instant—

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXW6w7t3Q4

He appeared directly behind Khaled.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlMJ860oMf

A massive wave of fire exploded toward him.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWX18MN99HR

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

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFaIerHJka

The impact violently pushed him across the ground.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7otyPbiDXD

The earth cracked beneath his feet.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUkKbTNKVk

“Khaled!”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n5Ym3dOT1

he shouted desperately.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViRcQ3pIpB

“Wake up!”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWd6yZTCD1C

But nothing changed.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAy4i4Dvfy

Abdulrahman stood silently.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZGg9DWaze

Then slowly raised his sword again.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6L1wnozAe

At that moment—

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkBscBGFdM

Saif finally intervened.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7IqdFAv6Q

A powerful strike from his staff stopped Abdulrahman briefly.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLopvay5tbx

Glowing spells surrounded his body.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhrG0T6Z3E

“Wake up, boy!”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3m8NlMYmS

the old master shouted.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDqE20ehvl

Abdulrahman’s body trembled.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hnK21gtaU

The flames around him became unstable.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRArpcUTqG

And for one brief moment—

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDE6MP6CEE

His eyes returned to normal.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5P4TdNFCc6

“K… Khaled…”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxeNtE5oOc

But before he could continue—

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTlmParC6d

Rose smiled.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpxelLsJ0w

This time, her smile felt terrifying.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGuahSLvde

Then she slowly closed her hand.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLh2inIlrx

Suddenly—

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV32Keyi5u

Abdulrahman froze.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMJdNvjz9F

Then raised his head once more.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eXCdpLhC7

And the terrifying emptiness returned to his eyes.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IKAIN6VJc

Rose let out a quiet sigh.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bGVDsXuLp

“I entered his mind myself.”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNST1IJC4p

Then she looked at Khaled.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdpAkvLFrL

“And there…”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypDldrhMZk

Her smile widened.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmmtBMNafw

“I found a chained monster named Zero.”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uYpqH1ksZ

Khaled’s expression instantly changed.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gQkcZctIb

“What?”

“We made a deal.”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCEac7bnBs

She said it as if it were nothing.

“He allows me to control Abdulrahman…”

“And in return…”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIaIUQInJ7

Her smile briefly froze.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhOsJfXWKg

“I free him.”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpjW1Z25lu

The flames around Abdulrahman suddenly exploded.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTRCyEvoZC

But this time—

They were unstable.

Chaotic.

Violent.

Terrifying.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8CviAFEIN

Even Saif felt the danger.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDnWXahl5h

“Rose…”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRki52PRJA

His voice became heavier.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvrAoidFlq

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

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP7A6cRTJw

But she laughed.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWzVXVdTaw

“No…”

“I understand perfectly.”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEATmUafm57

Then she slowly raised her hand toward Khaled.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZIUhXPnBV

“After I control all of you…”

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

“And then…”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2Y9sGRH9w

She closed her eyes with a cold smile.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9nwE6nYGp

“The king will be very pleased.”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5B5tIO21t

Khaled rushed forward again.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDxfyn1O1f

But Abdulrahman instantly blocked his path.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAt23TG9NML

Fast strikes.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00UlpDcRUl

Fire and shadow clashing repeatedly.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLeIpMrAFV

Explosions echoed through the forest.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz1iVcIiUe

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

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4UueJmbRi

But the real problem…

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJSyOcNbqr

Was that Khaled did not want to hurt his friend.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRFGrNIgwX

And it showed clearly.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP4Kuv91B5

Every strike from him carried hesitation.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIWZ9YbXq4

Restraint.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArb4RqPVMm

Which slowly allowed Abdulrahman to overpower him.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZsYRanI4n

“Master!”

Khaled shouted.

“Help me!”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6W3AeYgalz

But…

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiGWb9BP64

No response came.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WLGRuy0nO

Khaled’s eyes widened in shock.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKQ9WaQ8xz

He quickly turned—

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbZ4INOtmr

Only to find Saif standing motionless.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79svVFZJKg

His eyes…

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjqay81cLl

Completely empty.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKviIrOFik

Rose smiled calmly.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ124IAfJfjW

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

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HZKlPRQ9Y

In the next moment—

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPIQIHrlLn

Saif began walking toward Khaled.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrX6dzqewP

Slowly.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQRnqwiTKm

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

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsghyRRYJhI

And now…

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcRykEeK5q

He stood facing his master… and his closest friend…

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKaGY1h9Hq

Both trying to kill him.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyfkAurFHy

Khaled slowly took a step back.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrmopexa0Q

His breath grew heavy.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBiJGmM2zR

Not from fear…

But from pressure.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEQdVlKqE2

The pressure of battle.

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

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWejugj5SZ

He gripped his sword even tighter.

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

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhL0arP0GO8

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

Empty eyes.

Without a hint of hesitation.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyuSZscqZE

And between them…

Rose watched the scene with a cold smile.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVFSdT2SQ8

“What’s wrong, Khaled?”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILYBmYbovV

She said quietly.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET5UZClzEb

“Aren’t you going to fight?”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1a07F0s84

The first strike came.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKTrQJg5P1

Saif appeared before him faster than he had anticipated.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPFXlI5PzR

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

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi7QeGJDWw

A loud crash echoed through the forest.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf68kjb5JCQ

Khaled felt his arm shake from the impact.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEPchuQyij

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

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU7XD81yz3

Abdulrahman.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpPGvBI9HK

A swift horizontal strike forced him to duck instantly.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcSHw6oFNZ

The fire passed directly over his head.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3G74Z6DSUk

Its heat was enough to scorch some of his hair.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ588Er8IXno

Khaled jumped back quickly.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG7edCw68A

Then he looked at them in shock.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VJI3Fkydz

“They just won’t stop…” Rose smiled.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xGAmuzMJU

“Because I’ve taken away their hesitation.”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxAkzSjw13

Then she slowly raised a finger.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIBT0ORZ4N

“But you…” Her smile widened slightly.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lrxLjqUoQ

“You’re still too faint-hearted.”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyekbXcfw6

The next moment—

They attacked him together.

Saif from the front.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BGav5LUNb

And Abdul Rahman from the side.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjibrwPJHUv

The staff and the fiery sword struck Khaled almost simultaneously.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRMMHGO8rw

He tried to block both blows—

but he failed.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrt2d9XUQLW

Saif’s strike propelled him forward.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbReWmUlUSr

The next moment, fire erupted on his shoulder.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHuJcZ3EnP

He stumbled backward violently, crashing into a tree trunk.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKD3NMA7wfj

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

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCyvY5mGQZ

Khaled groaned with difficulty.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlJwFG7DHz

Then he slowly raised his head.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ160Re48MO5

Rose was approaching.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRdO3Mp6rL

Calm.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlcJKxbTmc

Confident.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q1QTB9GHa

“See?”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0NzlSqQzF

The icy aura around her intensified.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡha7Hw9lcIb

“You’re not like your parents.”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdZnaAKeCm

“They were ready to sacrifice everything.”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU3BAkZEUO

Then she looked at Abdul Rahman.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwP8d9qjtWS

“But you…”

She pointed at Khalid.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Qp6m4ZRnX

“You can’t even hit your own friend.”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdp98l2meG

Khalid clenched his fist tightly.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb343pbhE14

Her words struck him.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsO9FgJyJc

And that was exactly what she wanted.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcZ4vfqfKc

Suddenly—

Abdul Rahman reappeared.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSyL7Taj5t

A bullet shot straight to his face.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3C4dqigqW

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

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9WCtMfV72

Fire erupted around them.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQru8IYymez

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

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T0zN1GbLX

Abdul Rahman moved closer.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISjkxzKdAk

Then he whispered, his voice faint and broken:

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8ZDkOLxkJ

“…Run…”

Khalid’s eyes widened.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4JQzRLzSq

“Abdul Rahman?!”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQF3vQIeQH

But his eyes immediately went blank again.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pKEJWJeKj

Then he shoved Khalid violently.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcxJ2Ot432

Khalid flew several meters above the ground before tumbling heavily.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQe5gtz0sDn

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

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFQb2ciE0J

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

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbgtBW2ELo

“Damn it…” He looked toward the pendant.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxCOOsX2bn

Then he closed his hand over it.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NaS0h6uxn

“Shadow…”

No response.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo8BZh30VK

“You bastard, help me!”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u0zpqrTW3

The darkness inside the pendant remained silent.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGtPOWZySb

Rose approached slowly.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSiSHW0uuy

Prepare for destruction...

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtW1AL57Zq

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

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.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UbEctFJe2
