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

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VodG4QYp1

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sbNVKkIhY

Deep silence… without end.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyawuO9wQcT

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

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmT3Ggbx8op

Only emptiness.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5dscEr2Fl

A vast emptiness that seemed to swallow everything.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPggTpYyxC

Then…

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtJkMPgxaG

something slowly began to appear.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa11dV9xfir

A throne.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCW5X4pkIou

A massive throne made of pure darkness.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Rt91gkZC9

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

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNviD0yPEE

And upon it…

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqllCYK2zLm

sat a man.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kFRsC3Ydk

Ancient black armor covered in countless scars from forgotten battles.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuJ73HvAsf

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

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHlAFWV0xM

But the thing that terrified Khaled the most…

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4AObvsWpy

was his eyes.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYq32fmzmX

Calm…

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnnxSiweHd

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

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMuYgLBt9Z

“Who… are you?”

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5lkIcegWf

Khaled’s voice came out broken.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj72Ktd7wrQ

The man gave a faint smile.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHzWF0d0XI

Then said:

“I am Shado.”

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscMGyUyPgd

Khaled froze instantly.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMcbXJoy86

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

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8kMWkvPEx

The fire.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5vtezK2HQ

The screams.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcl7CMm8Gt

The blood of his parents.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zhLDawvNf

“You…”

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbvucDgwPn

Khaled clenched his fist violently.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMZGQgfYA9

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

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv2i0yY4rH

Shado continued staring at him calmly.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9dVQZgx06

Then said:

“Your grandfather was truly skilled…”

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP3uSQfxFc

Khaled paused for a moment.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9U6XQDUYE

“My grandfather…?”

“You didn’t know?”

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AACTozIwq

Shado said it as if it were something completely ordinary.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas2FVLjkqE

“Wise Sef… is your grandfather.”

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr8Wmsp8If

Khaled’s eyes widened in shock.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2OvON5WHv

“He hid the truth from you.”

“He knew that if you became more attached to him…”

“…you would completely break once you lost him.”

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGGS45BhZ0

For a brief moment, neither of them spoke.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuw6OjRMfk

But the rage inside Khaled slowly began to boil.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnp1vxsXfPh

Then Shado said:

“Now that you know the truth…”

“Leave.”

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8lAAWV4yg

He slowly rose from the throne.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLOHCKkr03

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

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDHcrrCsf8

“I will not help you.”

“And I will not repeat the mistake of leaving you alive if you remain here any longer.”

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQBx2Wc1NV

The next instant—

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSS8qY0Bbf

Khaled moved.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HBA3Xd1NT

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

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROXbQgx9ad

But—

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTq73ufE4XR

the darkness vanished before it could even touch him.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnKOeC74ZI

As if Khaled’s power had been completely swallowed.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OdVkQy5rc

“You truly believe…”

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSn1fyVNho

Shado spoke with terrifying calmness.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFBB0BwY0Q

“…that darkness can harm me?”

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡia3rzVPCV7

Khaled charged again.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQwNygtawu

This time with his sword.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKnbumENmN

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

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbpNT0Ytwk

The blade crashed against Shado’s armor.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqcdNjsaSb

But the armor did not move even slightly.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyKvtSMYGV

Then—

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZWvczSz2g

a single strike from Shado.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA0BDXNiOi

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

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeczH2mxsOQ

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

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74RFaFDIjm

He tried to stand.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPUed4M9F4

Then fell.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNQ6gGrUqn

Tried again.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzLDtte3tC

And collapsed once more.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGAciwjab2

Shado watched him silently.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPaFw2beRQ

Then said:

“Weak…”

“But…”

His words paused for a moment.

“Stubborn.”

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKh1dZ08KmE

Khaled slowly lifted his head.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBg1PD5UhcL

Blood ran from the corner of his mouth.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YjMkQbz5b

Yet his eyes never lowered.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeUU5tPUOz

“I won’t…”

He struggled to breathe.

“I won’t let him die…”

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrW19qnvCHt

Then he stood once again.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCviwubl6L

Slowly.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXV0Tuxnunl

Shaking.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYy2DgFp278

But standing nonetheless.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vf57Wv1pm

At that moment…

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj260Dj3nWw

something in Shado’s gaze slightly changed.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJc6oIE0yI

“You remind me of them…”

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0yGbaYDXQ

He stepped closer.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNO0srt75u1

“Your parents.”

“That foolish determination…”

“…before I killed them.”

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkGr9AovXL

Khaled’s breathing stopped.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1t6K9loqy

Then—

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQL1FeJ4Ch

something exploded inside him.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElGdHEvrJ2

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

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBs4EOnO4L

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

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eBOw8s56W

And suddenly—

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavfxRwEGez

the darkness began gathering within his hand.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡql8sO1kHI7

Not as chains.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfDdKT5K4q

Not as an aura.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjUxwPnQwX

But as a sword.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqoGkYrImA

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

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXq7rH6R4qK

And for the first time…

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLj3XfIRMAt

Shado’s smile disappeared.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr4Y9Z1sLX

“Impossible…”

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcUw6d3Ago

His eyes fixed on the sword.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fYH6Yxh1n

“That ability…”

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zYaFEUBmK

The next instant—

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWpTbWvNOJ

Khaled rushed forward.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wDHni7mu5

He moved faster than before.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZsMVcCdsZ

Not because he had fully become stronger…

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStCGjjflKR

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

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffJo2IiYWb

His strike broke through Shado’s defense.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6SrZHzfP5

And for the first time—

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxeDHZvMn4

a crack appeared on the black armor.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA901r79fAy

The air itself felt frozen.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5Ra8Djrag

Shado looked at the crack…

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfF0bcqSaqj

then back at Khaled.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUE2tA5y0O

And Khaled was barely standing.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugnDN3rgs5

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

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzZ8YFXieT

Then he fell to one knee.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rEsT4eOGt

Yet despite that…

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GWUBpka1f

he smiled.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfE6dBdWQo

“I hit you…”

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM05vXtvEF

A low laugh escaped from Shado.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0xzRqgeL0

Not mockery this time.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAkyqD6EF2

But genuine interest.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WFpAVGc3u

“…Interesting.”

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzI472vvaU

He slowly approached him.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0XQa9oUkb

The purple aura began surrounding Khaled little by little.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jG7YBZQio

“You use darkness in a very interesting way.”

“That is why…”

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKrNjuJjpn

He looked directly into his eyes.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TxtL2WuE7

“I will help you…”

“…only this once.”

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlffFB1iLwz

In the next moment—

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wEYJ6DYru

everything returned.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5UMTtZMM9

The cold.

The ice.

The battle.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPyR216rUs

Khaled suddenly opened his eyes.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbSGjOJZSa

Neol stood directly before Abdulrahman.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB8ocDPDYl

His ice blade raised—

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MMinxsTiP

only a single moment away from striking down.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrTMDy1Gur

But before it could move—

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh81XRnMY37

a massive shadow appeared in front of Abdulrahman.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaW4ajg0cV

A shield.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGrf6S3NLn

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

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b8bzvzNSI

For the first time—

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBEHYMb9Lh

Neol’s eyes widened.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETvEuI6X7e

As for Khaled…

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvKPZYrNta

something inside him had changed.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qqn29BseI

The power within his body no longer felt the same.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgCLtLtWFT

And in his hand—

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLbPMlZFqL

a sword appeared.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHkrW0hEPm

But not the sword he had created before.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20XkJaL266

This blade was far larger.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIdyZSyCnG

Heavier.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB7IR3Nhjz

A terrifying purple aura flowed from it endlessly.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oTE9g27Hm

“So…”

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgXlFlrEgX

Khaled whispered.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfGYMM5TAL

“This is your power, Shado…”

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRwNRXHYMq

Shadow exploded beneath his feet.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDJNVT4l1s

And in a single instant—

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb3qYAbP0s

Khaled vanished.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInZY0xlilC

Neol tried to react—

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRIno5YPNq

but Khaled appeared directly in front of him.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeKWM1n4yj

One strike.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwCr5jEsSl

The black blade passed through the ice…

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjQrGrK5UV

as if it had never existed at all.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLKnhpBHkY

Neol’s eyes widened.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hKXr60FIE

Then a dark line appeared across his body.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA9HfStsgf

And in the very next moment—

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5ZRboZ4PQ

the entire frozen battlefield exploded apart.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lcCJGmK7b

Neol dropped to his knees.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eAFQkeO8f

The icy seal on his forehead slowly began to crack.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUW7yAXEfU

Then—

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1A8VOoLg9e

he collapsed.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71ECtNMQbC

The shadows surrounding Khaled gradually calmed.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQS99gdTJvX

And Abdulrahman felt the flames inside him finally stabilize again.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPZ7jHDoOy

Their wounds slowly began healing beneath the darkness surrounding them.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMTvodLEQn

But the power disappeared just as quickly.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP08h42Jyy

Khaled collapsed to the ground from exhaustion.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdT0CKi0tj

Beside him…

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ2t5gsISv

Abdulrahman fell as well.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J19aK2eK6

Both of them looked toward Zira…

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaavJnYnMmu

silent forever.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IOarDhwMd

And for the first time in years…

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXwd2fBHVB

Khaled could not find a single word to say.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEW0gscUep3

Hours later…

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcTQOFnxeZ

the two stood before Zira’s grave.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h7HoktdnT

The air was still.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyv5Gj6BSW7

And the silence felt heavier than the war itself.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf2Vabe6X1

Then Wise Sef appeared.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2Bs6xZsM6

He stood before the grave for a long time…

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0p3W9YCul

before quietly saying:

“He was… my dearest friend.”

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jQcy5Gi3Z

Khaled suddenly looked at him.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYmcavuCiR

Then asked:

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

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3valKTz4n

Sef froze in place.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpeuhe0Wxv

“…Did Zira tell you?”

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3B8tQVz0Gu

Khaled slowly shook his head.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslbBwSJGwC

“No.”

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrb3K1FBx7

“Shado did.”

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhBp8Zfnt9

And in that instant—

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Wq1TLMWiX

all calmness disappeared from Sef’s face.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8i6C7ilra

“What?!”

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aY8JbuXiu

He stepped toward him immediately.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewJcTbUeWg

“You spoke to him?!”

“He helped me.”

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1M1mY3CBeA

Sef remained silent for a moment.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xuv67a4gg

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.”

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTjwzsWbHF

Khaled clenched his fist.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CE3GkRCpc

Then quietly replied:

“But he saved us.”

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGn7stXFyuZ

Sef stared at him for a long time.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsFy7hvpxZ

Then slowly closed his eyes.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHhYr2Xdde

“…Then he has acknowledged you.”

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlesbhLxKhf

Elsewhere…

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ODzf6U3uD

inside a dark frozen hall—

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoQog8FzSP

a man sat upon a throne of ice.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JS1vsjUns

His face hidden beneath the shadows.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH3HvkSE0T

But his blue eyes shone with deadly coldness.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ3xWUuCl5

The Ice King.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkEzPFlsRh

"Salman".

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFoNcG1UyJ

One of the soldiers knelt before him.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZreteTC3e

“My lord…”

“Neol… has fallen.”

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY186kW9Nd

For a moment, the room became deathly quiet.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbGrozPkMA

Then Salman spoke calmly:

“Impossible.”

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

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI5DmbT6zu

The soldier swallowed his fear.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡce8LZIzRYh

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.”

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQw6ko3wiIo

Suddenly—

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKfnUC1H5q

the atmosphere inside the hall changed.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ToTGTVKm6

“…A black sword?”

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgCyy5qHFi

Salman slowly rose from his throne.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvF4uObHM5

“Has the Shadow Lord returned…?”

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52xeXQOjrD

The silence inside the hall deepened.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3APkff70CH

Then Salman let out a cold, quiet laugh.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MV1GOZJbs

“It does not matter…”

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEloWpCJbk

He turned toward the darkness behind him.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeKF1i8CwE

“Can you do it, Rose?”

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Cim8ILHjv

From within the shadows—

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxmB1hN3Xl

a girl with icy eyes stepped forward.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8r9ygHNhbw

She bowed quietly.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYVl90dSJV

“As you command… my king.”

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Tz4q0EOJ7

Salman smiled.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRACEFqfmb

But there was no warmth in that smile.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtWNSzMrsN

“Prepare yourselves, Aros…”

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1m2ufMA53h

The air inside the hall froze completely.

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gPbWXHUpB

“Your own people…”

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xEaXpSybL

“…will be the ones who destroy you.”

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbMFQeHIPy

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

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.
