8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFda5bF8qYl

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

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiyO7md0eo

The icy blade descended directly toward Khaled's head.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaf5HkTXc4

But—

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5EgeThpVq

At the very last moment...

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02PCnsyhhB

He remembered his grandfather's words.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelD2minHY5

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

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9feG33SU9

"It's inside you."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFCODPf69t

Khaled's eyes widened.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGUfXyz7ub

Then he grabbed the shattered ring stone lying beside him.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYko01uFCdU

Without hesitation—

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBiosLCXHw

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

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMx2CcWzuXK

Silence fell.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU3LPb8zom

For a single second.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawof8WYBJA

Then—

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2EmkFRw8J

BOOOOOOOOOOOM!!

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadwSey6yDp

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

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpLDMTerlE

The ground trembled.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6A1BXLvek

The hills cracked apart.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVt5wLWSpY

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

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCgtZUyhBU

Abdulrahman's eyes widened.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pA6fOZLbW

"K-Khaled?!"

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡll1pkO2Cbp

A colossal storm of darkness spiraled around him.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDK5sVciKQk

Then it slowly began to take shape.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR2erFh3uT

Black armor.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66dLbPe2OK

Similar to Shadow Lord's armor.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyS7OycXq6r

But lighter.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK2PBLiokO

More practical.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBrlmBKer2

Built for a true warrior.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AopbZwROM

As for the sword...

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOmf2QR43N

It had changed completely.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ThU4AJIHJ

Longer.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbez7J6vPBW

Wider.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKL6sGuvAH

Glowing violet lines ran across the blade.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgu7SDj9Xq

Slowly, Khaled raised his head.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd79A971sf

Both of his eyes had become completely violet.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGThtEXgXfp

Radius smiled.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8E3GbMx2H

"Much better."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMrsjB74yg

He tightened his grip on his sword.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWNdoLPRg7

"Show me."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvLh3ywT5a

Khaled vanished.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQzTiE2DTx

Radius vanished as well.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh279mPJsJ

CLAAAAAAAAAANG!!

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp07qc8AAGm

The earth shook.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPNR3CUPYk

Their blades collided at the center of the battlefield.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwwmLEc1cC

Then—

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpp8fVAEpF3

CLANG!!

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFE6qP3tPfq

CLANG!!

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwA4IPjKQ8

CLANG!!

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PLCMISCs9

CLANG!!

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe2ZpuhprJ

Black and blue sparks filled the sky.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaQcvdOSRe

One strike.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcDyLL1IAw

Another.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RvEPhF7Bn

A third.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikskAwMlY9

A tenth.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonOwUbSlK4

Then—

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA98jFxTQ4z

For the first time...

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90adCdGdkT

Radius took a step backward.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpI6nCkraC

Abdulrahman's eyes widened.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUUb2GlsKN

"He pushed him back!"

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo11G3MA415

Khaled immediately pressed the advantage.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpoL0IOYAp

A powerful horizontal slash.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZMCKMNlbl

Radius was forced to raise his sword to defend.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SU3IfmGwB

Then Khaled appeared behind him.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN37CWdp8w6

Then above him.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6taf5XYJlM

Then in front of him.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkq0YkdNiG0

A relentless barrage of attacks.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrjMDLBZrW

Not giving him a single moment to breathe.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIJRD74ABM

But—

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡro1VDRnJ1m

Suddenly.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxD47hRXtE

Radius laughed.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfYczoAJnm

A short, calm laugh.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBoMuKQbEB

"Excellent."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRINU06CLHX

He raised his head.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN7w8O6K59

The icy seal on his forehead began to glow.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EHMrdeUdG

❄️ Frost Domain

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdvrV7zdub

He drove the tip of his sword into the ground.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkhd6LbDTW

BOOOOOOOOM!!

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fwlqKltSD

Massive circles of ice spread in every direction.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLqSC1NMSc

The entire battlefield transformed into a frozen wasteland.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzwFrQqwI0

Khaled paused for a moment.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6v38pOJfC

Then charged.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AavcZyK2N

But—

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRNVUSHKyw

Something felt wrong.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo64Fz1akB

His attack was slower.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSxPD5uDNB

Only slightly.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bi6eVhZYc

But Radius dodged it effortlessly.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAqHYZmJfD

Then counterattacked.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ty2vj4t5w

A slash tore through Khaled's armor.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbeurNYj0B

Khaled's eyes widened.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpFHtN2rkd

"Impossible..."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85SK0HKx5A

He attacked again.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhY1Zs3STB

The same result.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFWAeYAbJu

Every movement.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRkKkuStYO

Every step.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxN5nVvz7G

Every turn.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaLaxVYy1z

Slightly slower.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mEzOx7925

Another strike landed.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBWp51HiZh

Then another.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxq5qKWxasZ

Then another.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQbKvuDRgN

Until blood began dripping from Khaled's mouth.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZAi7CNQxf

He retreated while breathing heavily.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFQHiYX0Sj

"What is happening?"

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQ0dKJGNR2

He looked at the ground.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoxne9CxlF

The ice.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8LVDjxh20

Then his feet.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWtBWr39rf

And suddenly—

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO09sA1VKi

He understood.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePLvaO5Ogn

His eyes widened.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqd3lK8j83

"It's not me..."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQ8dEviR6H

"The battlefield itself is slowing me down."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDusyFp1UM

Radius smiled.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSQpaK2iV1

"You figured it out."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4BCOgyffi

But Khaled didn't smile.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3H3qpoeB3

Instead, he closed his eyes.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpz6vmUeGm

Focused.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Cnr89vdVC

The shadows beneath his feet began gathering.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBHCldX8ZG

Then—

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysQTcmL1gV

He disappeared into them.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEy1Sog2nZ

Moving through shadows instead of across the frozen ground.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqX80s80M3J

Suddenly—

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyhO7s6RJJ

He appeared in front of Radius.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkqeIq3NIL

SLASH!!

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0uHXYciAG

A fresh wound appeared on the knight's shoulder.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3c2OsVpou

Radius looked at the injury.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmxYlA0NVI

Then smiled.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjEu1upVLx

A smile of genuine admiration.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHDrk39ddk

"So you've adapted."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4S3KBwbRd

He raised his sword once more.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBadlu4ncC

"In that case..."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVBMQr9IS4

"I'll reveal the next card."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLuD77wgI5

❄️ Frozen Echo

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSjNeT38W7

"The Frozen Echo."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKfU9W4SZG

He swung his sword only once.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXzGIC9IkX

Khaled dodged effortlessly.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc31qdeFo66

"Missed."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4UcjTFaEn

But—

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJeS0gEbff

SLASH!!

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86TR9OoKF4

A deep wound suddenly appeared across his back.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyXSktGha8

His eyes widened.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdPT8R1AUZ

"What?!"

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntE2b2A1HK

He looked around.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JEj5lg2lN

Nothing.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwanRHc3VD

No one.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOc7XDBxeOw

Then a second strike came.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChOZaCLWna

A third.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eEt7lS28i

A fourth.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR693ZnQAo

Every attack he avoided...

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDW8b8xmJUI

Returned seconds later from another direction.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymJfx8P2UB

As if it were hunting him.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj8yNCXIe2

The wounds continued to increase.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVznXRAhU6R

Blood flowed.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoVzImyB56

The black armor began to crack.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGIOFrOTZx

Yet Khaled never stopped thinking.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooJBdLB5CU

He observed.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPnYYpWwxO

Waited.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvQVfrwtua

Analyzed.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvVKYyq3ra

Another attack flew past him.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp27lCOAjJ

He immediately struck it.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguWKuz47n7

The icy slash shattered.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHVt9nglFM

His eyes widened.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZSGU9xx5M

Then he smiled.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf7yUUH0UJ

At last...

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5IOjsPLx9

He understood.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvY9aBomwg

Radius raised an eyebrow.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsdECT4oUn

"Oh?"

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9t24wIg8p

Khaled wiped the blood from his mouth.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KWvC2zIux

Then looked at the frozen traces floating in the air.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRWGDn9NYJ

"Those aren't new attacks."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NVry2EgaD

"They're remnants of your previous ones."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6yGBSmIM9

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

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznOBlE1SOb

"And that imprint attacks again moments later."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMqo0019rJ

Silence followed.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngTQLZbV5r

Then—

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqpmOFWCSL

Radius smiled.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzLP7qZay1

A smile of genuine respect.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVokst6SUn

"Interesting."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLtLGtYj5X

"It took me years to master that technique."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadtbH9ZZjU

"And you deciphered it in minutes."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewCKNuIOoG

In the distance—

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE59F556Api

Abdulrahman listened.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvJpKtneJ6

Despite his injuries.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMedRjfQkp

Despite his exhaustion.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHbSkAoZ2c

He couldn't stop himself from smiling.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWcfIXt7Zh

"Heh..."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwr90klYsHX

"That's the Khaled I know."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihHtlr0HcR

But—

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmrdvncYin

Radius raised his sword again.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8OjNDEMHz

The smile vanished from his face.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoNLLfJyYs

"Unfortunately..."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbQWABWY4H

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

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTFS6kTfOR

CLANG!!

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0Um4DBDNg

Another strike.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaSU8lRvXy

But this time—

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHagEyP7ti

Khaled destroyed the frozen echo before it could reach him.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrJkUPyv4G

Then the second.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTHrMxVkSh

The third.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEz80ckklCY

The fourth.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0wT25TLhF

He was adapting.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42xi3ebKQB

And getting closer.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkMh5DxZh2

SLASH!!

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39nPBDGjhm

A new wound appeared on Radius's arm.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx15MAThBS

Then another.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3V35ZB4079

On his shoulder.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo25ULth885

Then a third.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUbppfkFXE

Across his icy armor.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLN7pqqmjjc

For the first time since the battle began...

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZW1BEqWU1

The knight was being pushed back.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkbBrtgdcR

One step.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza8ZpVc3LX

Then another.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwk6qwl88M

Abdulrahman's eyes widened.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9VXZZ1QPG

"He's forcing Radius back!"

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzS7Aha7d4t

But suddenly—

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1afzOpt06

Radius stopped.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1oxSpb3SQ

Looked down at the wounds covering his body.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPONdrwnWAz

Then sighed.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvo35eB7Ww

"I suppose..."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOUJ9AVDY2

"It's time to stop playing."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VkqEXBcuA

The icy seal shone brighter than ever before.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iSgmy0diI

This time—

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT140Ro389

Even the air itself trembled.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMQIftTZKq

❄️ Royal Ice Armor

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLyqJ6SJ8d

BOOOOOOOOM!!

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHXhaH6uuG

Blue energy erupted from his body.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuka6ZThYy

Layers of ice formed over his armor.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZawXB7ZoC

But this wasn't ordinary ice.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOebjMySrmK

It resembled legendary metal.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdMxUDdClU

Shining.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpWnL7OfQv

Sharp.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwHiYPQ98f

Heavy.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPu3HvdQGlU

Khaled attacked immediately.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUdVS6Jig7

Striking with all his strength.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTT87KTaDM

CLAAAAAAANG!!

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6IhcFAge5

The ground shook violently.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOd5mGa9tX

But—

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TyB4vGpGe

Radius didn't move.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DgRZEinL6

Not even a single centimeter.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYK8kNtNX21

Khaled's eyes widened.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNxrppaoiA

"What?!"

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZQ9UJMRvg

He attacked again.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNseNZSNCe3

Then again.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpISv9JHr2

Then ten more times.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPb338FoeM

The result never changed.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz447jT8RCo

No damage.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SunAlzOfa

No wounds.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdcHsLYVtq

Nothing.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZEDmSBowM

Worse yet—

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiNbaWxt7G

His hand began freezing with every strike.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNAsA5VNlH

He quickly retreated.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AM7drOzLC

Looking down at his fingers.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEYo8enOOT

A layer of ice had formed over them.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DQxktgICC

Radius smiled.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3uItgjsqQ

"Now do you understand?"

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIlOmeCCnr

"This armor doesn't merely defend."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZgrWXZuNt

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

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39gheXsWg1

Abdulrahman's eyes widened.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLb0XX3sk6

"It reflects damage?!"

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JcJuiFjqe

Radius answered calmly.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YmOBDHsOE

"Only part of it."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpnky1gZXG

"But that's enough."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoSWoa4fPZ

Khaled looked at his hand.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0naHa72wD6

Then his sword.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iWQzd4klq

Then the armor.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ACcx7lzxf

"I see."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQpIPAkHAH

"Then I won't attack it directly."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Qj4g8eLAZ

He vanished into the shadows.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrH1M7vxdV

Appearing from the side.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQX2rooPDx

Then behind.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPx1TgrCWr5

Then above.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUbLrzylbD

Dozens of attacks.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOltkFH7s7Y

From every direction.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkA1z5fJVOR

But—

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijbSEHCcHj

Radius blocked them all.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoRE4mixeU

Like an immovable wall.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKxHzyhWG9

Khaled's breathing grew heavier.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2f0zqId6vH

His body weaker.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1gwqJtn6N

Meanwhile—

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWCqPOKAUy

Radius still stood firm.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uGTW2O5B2

Like a mountain.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbDCPEIK1r

Then—

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiFi0CmupD

Abdulrahman suddenly shouted.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLNt8vGsA0

"Khaled!"

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFsVxxEifZ

Khaled looked toward him.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgX49OqoRr

"The right knee!"

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZiMVr7q5W

His eyes widened.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ncSVmlRi1

He remembered.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo4ZPP9Oo9

Earlier...

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2F93JPkfX

When Radius blocked the massive fireball...

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTR8dleUIMA

There had been a brief opening.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK338XpIXP

A weakness.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21qKtjeWwO

At the right knee.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkte8NgnPOo

Khaled vanished instantly.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTwu2Jso7s

Appearing beneath Radius.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu8NHv8IVA

SLASH!!

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aia2beud6

A small wound appeared.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCXxtLIl53

Tiny.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNxIeIVO0p

But—

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4N1xAoSwsm

It was there.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zkdkbRAdd

Silence fell.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqHZqeexAl

Radius stared at the injury.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEW9uFnqCZ

For the first time...

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8dQr19zqj

His smile disappeared.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOL0HYf6zU

"You found even that..."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFFtGUI8Ns

Abdulrahman grinned despite his injuries.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVP81AbDZvz

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

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKG6d37HPl0

Radius laughed.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TzPADIaaA

A short laugh.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFyxLNuzxC

Yet it carried something unexpected.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtGNS1iesY

Admiration.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti8hgSp8BN

"I admit it..."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxeGWQUYdu

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

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0ZbIWSfdW

Then he raised his sword toward the sky.

Every smile disappeared.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgTpTkq10D

Every trace of amusement vanished.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QAi4Ib5Hs

His entire expression changed.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4l7XuYJ0F

"Which is exactly why..."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQacuIStoF

"I'm going to use it."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0A9C8HryP

The air froze.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqJiUP6Ezp

The blue flames around Abdulrahman froze.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfGi3IogPJ

Even the shadows surrounding Khaled began moving more slowly.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdK0lLdMjXR

Both of them widened their eyes.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XLOYpFJ6F

Because they felt something terrifying.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbb8lZbvD7

Something that made their instincts scream.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtmJXuUxg7

Run.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSLt7S5SHD

But Radius continued.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3R8UFXJCXX

"Now..."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoAgZevOa8

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

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULtDhp8TXy

❄️ Absolute Zero Slash

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmaetCcPQy

"The Slash of Absolute Zero."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgvH4YePF1

Energy began gathering around the blade.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUsLLIpSM4

More.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZDHvxnE7B

And more.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMGaWC3scy

And more.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SeAKzFtcU

Until the ground started cracking from the cold.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeI0K6jSJdc

The rocks froze solid.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH6cMS1JNd

The wind ceased completely.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpM00A7qN5d

Even Abdulrahman found it difficult to breathe.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7P1kwWFMr9

Radius looked at them.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN04RgDtsCe

There was no enjoyment left in his eyes.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeBc0p4xiV

No excitement.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVC3tZ3mA4d

Only seriousness.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BaJ05wx3H

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

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhXcLGjTnc

He slowly lowered the blade.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSctAm1SJUp

"And now..."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDTbtkjzIA

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