Title: Shadow of the Eternal Flame - Chapter 5 : Second Enemy ( Part 3 )

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFeei2yh9f

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywCmpiHYNB

Rose smiled slowly.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMtnOA6jZi

Then she walked toward Khaled as he was being forced down onto the ground.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1So3RhjRES

“Hold him still,” she said calmly.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxgj0yqpIb

Abdulrahman immediately tightened his grip on Khaled’s arm without hesitation, while Saif stood behind him with empty emotionless eyes, keeping him restrained.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2n1QDlKV87

Khaled struggled violently for a moment…

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlL4SzlUwUn

But he could barely move anymore.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5xln40qFP

Most of his energy had already been exhausted.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBZujyiycp

And the weak black aura surrounding his body was fading more and more with every second.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUeX9TSk4q

Rose leaned slightly closer to him.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xGC4dx2xm

“It’s over.”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguT6Lwekw5

She placed her hand on his head.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhUT3AIgvt

And in the next moment—

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCB8d9N3cP

Khaled felt something cold force its way directly into his mind.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oiBRM4nij

The sounds of the forest disappeared.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vVfPmPWTF

The flames disappeared.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtRIDdebb1

Even the pain…

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwgFzTuTSj

vanished.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GfloZJn6t

Then—

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQdq4VZa2r

He opened his eyes inside a strange world.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w1ufRVkfr

Darkness.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTyPFRhVEn

Nothing except darkness.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3EKuEInH8

But this time…

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RpK5VYnAE

he was not alone.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd8dacKTN6

Rose stood beside him, cautiously looking around.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4qpVZpEXv

“So this is your mind…”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaX7dSgzrN

she whispered slowly.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RRuhgWtwn

But something in her voice had changed.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwv0hxwu0a

She was no longer completely confident.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ET4UKZyDM

There was slight tension beneath her calm expression.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr9lzaNjer

Because this place…

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lX8IMjqa4

was not normal.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPZL07oV06

Even she could feel it.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdSkrsJjSt

The air itself felt unbearably heavy.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyKUPzSoWI

And the darkness around them seemed alive…

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyYhV3n0Cs

moving slowly.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5ekngOqHO

Watching them.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9dZSXjhhe

Then—

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wh0Zz3z2A

That voice appeared.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcMV3B8sJM

Calm.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzyzPUf99y

Heavy.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBVLSCtnmZ

“Who allowed you to enter?”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOdIpfhYs1

Rose froze instantly.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmc2u9AVCO

Her eyes widened slightly.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QToPCpKwA

And slowly…

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6bl8CPUCc

a purple aura began appearing within the darkness.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAkkaFhRQB

Then the throne emerged.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6peZGdSkCf

A massive throne made from pure darkness itself.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWP9veAFqt

That terrifying violet aura moved around it like living smoke.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbTrYbLdzq

And sitting above it…

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyjFQrnQMi

was Shado.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25K5lElKZl

Calm.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P6Qbw6Jly

Resting his head against one hand.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7EZj83PnS

As if he had been watching everything from the very beginning.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPFZXV8Kmu

He looked at Rose for several moments without speaking.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S0QpT8kQK

But his gaze alone…

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LuHMEXVxm

made the tension inside her grow heavier.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBv3Nvg200

She tried to maintain her smile.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Cj6XPxUO2

“So… you are the Shadow Lord.”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYic7zyBvGq

No response.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmyWPmZNko

So she continued:

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQbfAmOmuz

“Let me control the mind of this boy.”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIhVkVsNIH

Then she smiled coldly.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc57xx6LBWF

“And I will free you from this prison.”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm00uD8JrCO

For several seconds…

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34XKK5Wrt2

Shado did not move.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxvjVRA5mq

Then a low laugh escaped him.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V2Qbr8HBo

Not merely mocking…

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIasuWi68fB

but terrifying.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0j4XRpNuw

“Free me?”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4VsF5CQ0d

He finally raised his eyes toward her.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEcaH6toGe

And at that moment—

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13pQAWN51N

Rose felt something cold move through her body.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0j64r9t0P

Something close to fear.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIxD581q1t

“I do not take orders from anyone.”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95nYEyq6Nt

The darkness around the throne shifted violently.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVr9IaUZWwv

“And besides…”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcKnxfF7xm

He glanced toward Khaled.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9jvAGNIEK

“This place has become mine.”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH6E16Ooa2

Then he looked back at her.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhvZ6q5ins

“And this boy…”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNiUgl4bIj

A faint smile appeared on his face.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbx2ytTM4b

“I am the one who controls his mind.”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE419lhOlgG

Silence filled the darkness.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8ocz8A6d6

But this time…

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETGz5JTcPF

Rose could no longer hide her tension.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ9a4YaITj

Even so, she said:

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNyOQIaDjm

“Then both of you will die together.”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19mrT5Grlj

She raised her hand.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchG4yB58N3

Ice immediately began spreading throughout that dark world.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUpazQzTmk

Blue frozen cracks formed across the black ground.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNbHbqgyHX

But—

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI8O8MlLjN

Shado merely looked at her.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjy6MF3jF3

Then sighed in boredom.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9wEcIfLXB

“Pathetic…”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqsqELijP5

Her smile vanished instantly.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHyZXGLhVV

“You still have a chance.”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR42wYdP09P

She stepped forward slowly.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv4qEVyKax

“Join me.”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLXHYgEoaK

“We can rule the world together.”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomlF0ZUoGS

The purple aura surrounding Shado became still for a moment.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5A2QvQktL

Then—

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBVRkNAuhR

He stood up.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnsZmot8ha

Slowly.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKC3D0WnTk

But the instant he rose—

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNa5hLIR9z

everything changed.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLLA1XlPkE

Darkness exploded in every direction.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssEgwFfgW5

The ground trembled violently.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4a1AA3RCP

Even the ice Rose created began cracking apart immediately.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjAYfpo4vs

Her eyes widened in shock.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3gTOOuw6m

And for the very first time…

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXWGOLI6V9

she felt true fear.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2MAklesjx

His aura alone…

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFaJxL6mEH

was enough to crush her.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliHidf5ARA

Shado slowly extended his hand.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi2IAjC06t

And his massive sword appeared instantly.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7jV5unyG7

That enormous black blade releasing a dense violet aura.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZjCJrLl4A

He looked at her without emotion.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ4rgImfPw

Then said:

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8X6HsKYVZz

“Didn’t I say…”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXRGif4HVP

He vanished from his place.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3biAgOQEUr

“…that I do not take orders from anyone?”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETzVyGzImZ

And in a single instant—

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD8g26AqMn

he appeared directly behind her.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeXanLX6Us

Rose’s eyes widened.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7p527h58Yr

But she could not even fully turn around.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB74SRc8slV

One strike.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HOtseycAb

Only one.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhFTUL0gNB

The black sword passed through her body with horrifying ease.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurtIBBhasE

Silence.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsABEl0gji

Then—

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAq4OtNwFM3

Rose’s body split into two halves.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDl86rHwv3

All the ice shattered apart.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwINGOHiws

And darkness swallowed the entire world completely.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXEm3T7Dhz

Back in the real world—

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqUukOhTRg

Khaled suddenly opened his eyes.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XYraki2Nt

But he was no longer the same.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWhN5B4HnH

Darkness moved violently around his body.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTb7XTRx5D

As if it had completely lost control.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGMLibzslc

And his eyes…

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3g4IgNCsj

turned entirely violet for a few brief moments.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aSEM9Zdp6

Abdulrahman stepped backward in shock after breaking free from the mind control.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfL6aGroHk

Even Saif regained consciousness immediately.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrHg0DkMzx

“Khaled…?”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpgPIZXWmx

But Khaled did not respond.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvWu9weWEs

The darkness suddenly exploded outward around him.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQ0zYVlWJc

It swallowed the trees.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ5cOPpaPL

The ground.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4sujVQF45

Even Rose’s dead body.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtpq8rrZd3

Then—

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDYHO6Rms6

everything fell silent.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpB0PqqhwE

The darkness slowly began fading away.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdyrGW16wj

And Khaled appeared standing there with difficulty.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvNObDlw8F

Breathing heavily.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhuMuyO2sT

Then he slowly looked around him.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyOYC3EnkK

He found Abdulrahman and Saif unconscious beside him.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KRfSn0R4V

As for himself…

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerYsOCDC1m

it felt as though the darkness had devoured him completely from the inside.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUakZW2Cut

Then—

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VMvYPuYqo

he fell onto his knees.
