55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUO39c652dF

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKI4yFyxIgw

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAs6wYN2rM

Rose smiled slowly.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2Dq1hjsM4

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

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5GdOnPrJ4

“Hold him still,” she said calmly.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡze2G7zzE1W

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

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGtflBfumf

Khaled struggled violently for a moment…

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVR7D3dD2CT

But he could barely move anymore.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCydYuESY6t

Most of his energy had already been exhausted.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHr9ic0oVhU

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

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IvKzQQJn3

Rose leaned slightly closer to him.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNMxKCY0O9

“It’s over.”

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkYqFVjyE8

She placed her hand on his head.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbYXzWhsSN

And in the next moment—

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgH32APiqF

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

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdA3bweK63

The sounds of the forest disappeared.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kfMkD9tKe

The flames disappeared.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cYNx74xvN

Even the pain…

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixupcMtxfj

vanished.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqo5TKAZuC

Then—

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUoaEDKp0Z

He opened his eyes inside a strange world.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFMHBYIwCv

Darkness.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPqm1lHTl8

Nothing except darkness.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRB7w2dsjk

But this time…

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycKFPiGrwC

he was not alone.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi2Lw4ffsa

Rose stood beside him, cautiously looking around.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMgoBC0WZt

“So this is your mind…”

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DZ0SjTIB1

she whispered slowly.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaBDGKFDw1

But something in her voice had changed.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiFk6g7Ubk

She was no longer completely confident.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYp3NVvujId

There was slight tension beneath her calm expression.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDQSuJXiMP

Because this place…

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANYNtopAcs

was not normal.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUapbNgktX9

Even she could feel it.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLLgnc0NQm

The air itself felt unbearably heavy.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0i0SfOna51

And the darkness around them seemed alive…

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMGqdAZhLm

moving slowly.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jaiHcq5Q1

Watching them.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aRg66tKJj

Then—

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9V5wu3qJGP

That voice appeared.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBgke29tQK

Calm.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sjPHUmYjZ

Heavy.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjO6slO5jHY

“Who allowed you to enter?”

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiL1ue1TFl

Rose froze instantly.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡom5HF3dkCs

Her eyes widened slightly.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mEZtg4cn8

And slowly…

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bWuKzSoix

a purple aura began appearing within the darkness.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsJ8jp00Bj

Then the throne emerged.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDU13JcwG8

A massive throne made from pure darkness itself.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3FLuDDAUx

That terrifying violet aura moved around it like living smoke.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLtuKL5THs

And sitting above it…

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL86qEnyJco

was Shado.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7ffnZvNrA

Calm.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgoXJo61Tz

Resting his head against one hand.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUnpa3tdgl

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

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VofnV7C8m

He looked at Rose for several moments without speaking.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAem3S09Su5

But his gaze alone…

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcwfAAx70c

made the tension inside her grow heavier.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFyZkwA7qW

She tried to maintain her smile.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54CJqcMzsn

“So… you are the Shadow Lord.”

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHPmQmVNro

No response.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu22p6RI2D

So she continued:

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanIaN68i2d

“Let me control the mind of this boy.”

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJTPX7aXxE

Then she smiled coldly.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOS8CeFm1Z

“And I will free you from this prison.”

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVM9RxLBLB

For several seconds…

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq2t9YSJiw

Shado did not move.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSYRKoSkTJ

Then a low laugh escaped him.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoTJqIv1Mr

Not merely mocking…

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXSNBi4qzH

but terrifying.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0EHycVY5F

“Free me?”

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWBLZjewSS

He finally raised his eyes toward her.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdLxWRiUe8

And at that moment—

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWL8ZKUg4F

Rose felt something cold move through her body.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsW8iRPemaB

Something close to fear.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nNhrFDm1R

“I do not take orders from anyone.”

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdTYcmY9jD

The darkness around the throne shifted violently.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdl9oD9UhtO

“And besides…”

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLYv3mEHrd

He glanced toward Khaled.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyPL1Ww7Kq

“This place has become mine.”

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynCSWqMYKP

Then he looked back at her.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOiB4yUais

“And this boy…”

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHqAQKzViA

A faint smile appeared on his face.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpjFZEL8Yf

“I am the one who controls his mind.”

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwZbGoSjaz

Silence filled the darkness.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuRDKoUeea

But this time…

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWT4IMNI5N

Rose could no longer hide her tension.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUCVG3pqZJ

Even so, she said:

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG928AhB9J

“Then both of you will die together.”

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpc8mQp0anW

She raised her hand.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuLI8WMAdA

Ice immediately began spreading throughout that dark world.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaw8naUMnx

Blue frozen cracks formed across the black ground.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIuUjzXMuL

But—

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUijIBLQtQ5

Shado merely looked at her.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiluy3DySa9

Then sighed in boredom.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOoDYMdlbT

“Pathetic…”

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx5bGRBB4f

Her smile vanished instantly.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykRDCONYG4

“You still have a chance.”

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFzoC05frG

She stepped forward slowly.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUG2ffLubC

“Join me.”

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzj4xPfzfUn

“We can rule the world together.”

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKX3urCLv3i

The purple aura surrounding Shado became still for a moment.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCso2ayiIN2

Then—

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FJxrmzZ75

He stood up.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5KeUZtXRo

Slowly.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLD2eVwqLd

But the instant he rose—

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiifejSQMsx

everything changed.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACDI2R2lve

Darkness exploded in every direction.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5AkWs5R0A

The ground trembled violently.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPqIx0En8I

Even the ice Rose created began cracking apart immediately.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKw6KN3Wfav

Her eyes widened in shock.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqGfnaQSmZ

And for the very first time…

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdWNPB23Xc

she felt true fear.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGg4N0KzTD

His aura alone…

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi121zOBp9P

was enough to crush her.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHOHpIPLDY

Shado slowly extended his hand.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4pzNSGWXP

And his massive sword appeared instantly.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmoQUCJlNk

That enormous black blade releasing a dense violet aura.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCurinqDzoW

He looked at her without emotion.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntE1JraDhw

Then said:

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvt0t2NY6e

“Didn’t I say…”

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEEl0HxVqc

He vanished from his place.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPX5k2gpzwm

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

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qpv46dEyN

And in a single instant—

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArdq0szlmX

he appeared directly behind her.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgOAjwC9d9

Rose’s eyes widened.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqsA6cSYMn

But she could not even fully turn around.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYyUNf2pkF

One strike.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpFXVIKhT4

Only one.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMDCXFQlMo

The black sword passed through her body with horrifying ease.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KSmeW8ucV

Silence.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6qoeOkDxQ

Then—

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oOp8rojFN

Rose’s body split into two halves.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVp4qKOVRP

All the ice shattered apart.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBcsfoceqE

And darkness swallowed the entire world completely.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUOxThKAUJ

Back in the real world—

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe3lPEQYcA

Khaled suddenly opened his eyes.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOV7lbylAGR

But he was no longer the same.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaudtgpTajk

Darkness moved violently around his body.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9Ot7GAa9v

As if it had completely lost control.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAeoHDYTrn

And his eyes…

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWyKmqaOB4

turned entirely violet for a few brief moments.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4MCxSE5Rz

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

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7h5Di4FEF

Even Saif regained consciousness immediately.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70zgwNLFc4

“Khaled…?”

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO0IkwNNXr

But Khaled did not respond.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkNjl6qNCh

The darkness suddenly exploded outward around him.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBs4ulP55mZ

It swallowed the trees.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgLyKnTLNV

The ground.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDIMLkNQoZ

Even Rose’s dead body.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXC1wwjENV

Then—

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR4nMzpFw9

everything fell silent.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8X3Lii0sLj

The darkness slowly began fading away.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeovWt4kLG

And Khaled appeared standing there with difficulty.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyKgrnuLL5

Breathing heavily.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FuWCe54Do

Then he slowly looked around him.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJXTd63Lql

He found Abdulrahman and Saif unconscious beside him.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lRCbfpsVt

As for himself…

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8l4WmUjc7

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

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fUiGZ6d5c

Then—

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSqgulhkoW

he fell onto his knees.

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