122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7m72pTUuGH

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87xD4KC14m

Rose smiled slowly.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbspxQYsU2

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

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeJ0IrRRny

“Hold him still,” she said calmly.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFMHMAuzdN

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

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6ZsxLbWY9

Khaled struggled violently for a moment…

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhbiZvVKy3

But he could barely move anymore.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPa49JwetT

Most of his energy had already been exhausted.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8r28i30LAI

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

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5N9lhknuM

Rose leaned slightly closer to him.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVhWYjlW2O

“It’s over.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2PSuibRvm

She placed her hand on his head.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwhVEudlDv

And in the next moment—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IG9a8tqxm

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

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvQ4v3Cx84

The sounds of the forest disappeared.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0evm8UHl1

The flames disappeared.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXM64JE030P

Even the pain…

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbwsxmH4sh

vanished.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmtyTlqCLy

Then—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUXCxclHc6

He opened his eyes inside a strange world.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaASy0rcoiY

Darkness.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzwPlnL6h0

Nothing except darkness.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs52o47GXOK

But this time…

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALzB2c6prO

he was not alone.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k39rbH43R

Rose stood beside him, cautiously looking around.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmn0YJKM0j9

“So this is your mind…”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgU6XihddOj

she whispered slowly.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyWbw8nXLb

But something in her voice had changed.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAsqNjyLu3

She was no longer completely confident.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqNyH1o2AZ

There was slight tension beneath her calm expression.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QqsVVr7pT

Because this place…

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWpaH0GNQw

was not normal.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQPS4RS76C

Even she could feel it.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pLSOlxRWv

The air itself felt unbearably heavy.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOoHFp8qLi

And the darkness around them seemed alive…

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFSuVvnjl2

moving slowly.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtey8xFtfkW

Watching them.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6B04z8TPCz

Then—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyGHTaZuF2

That voice appeared.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡschhiXhtJy

Calm.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj03msdy6U

Heavy.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTejsEDA8vp

“Who allowed you to enter?”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWiWFKmjMJ

Rose froze instantly.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwEnvrV0BO

Her eyes widened slightly.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbkLkrmdW8

And slowly…

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPcz6N1q8Z

a purple aura began appearing within the darkness.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1DAmKhZ9Y

Then the throne emerged.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu7SaFBruC

A massive throne made from pure darkness itself.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsJ1XJl28K

That terrifying violet aura moved around it like living smoke.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmi1Wj1trf

And sitting above it…

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sZkLVlR3c

was Shado.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCFeXGIpAr

Calm.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Un1SD2jiX

Resting his head against one hand.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIb0C32zMg

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

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJdWHEkDla

He looked at Rose for several moments without speaking.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaD2bDSSTC

But his gaze alone…

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqc5HyOcukd

made the tension inside her grow heavier.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gXMlyTE3t

She tried to maintain her smile.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxSc1nWXs1

“So… you are the Shadow Lord.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFP0kHB8TU

No response.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ulG7E7HsI

So she continued:

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeD6oTfzqh4

“Let me control the mind of this boy.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKQ8aweQnq

Then she smiled coldly.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gZRe3qSnE

“And I will free you from this prison.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3gpyG1J4Q

For several seconds…

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvtbZYkPv1

Shado did not move.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fUyrG7H70

Then a low laugh escaped him.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfyzuZvJjs

Not merely mocking…

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPruIAKmoH

but terrifying.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnvCG93oIf

“Free me?”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lte1etEqV

He finally raised his eyes toward her.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXEVbuFCtD

And at that moment—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7FAv6AIiS

Rose felt something cold move through her body.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK2soUvJy0

Something close to fear.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUs8HZG0cf

“I do not take orders from anyone.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUxPWZ8exA

The darkness around the throne shifted violently.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZsMcYVFfn

“And besides…”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ686gbUy87n

He glanced toward Khaled.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoHRTHjkrF

“This place has become mine.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEy3EYq5Kx

Then he looked back at her.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Rudkm9vQs

“And this boy…”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcAkecfpaT

A faint smile appeared on his face.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52zveB9Esm

“I am the one who controls his mind.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjOPwQYP0i

Silence filled the darkness.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBul4PfzwI

But this time…

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPNpNu2Q3J

Rose could no longer hide her tension.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YLY2krugp

Even so, she said:

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsL3XvmfQfb

“Then both of you will die together.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWcxYkCbhX

She raised her hand.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrlti76CeT

Ice immediately began spreading throughout that dark world.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0poSlbrPDR

Blue frozen cracks formed across the black ground.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f0RkhOfz2

But—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fusVyBeRh

Shado merely looked at her.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9e758LidMW

Then sighed in boredom.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASzuR2N7fH

“Pathetic…”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEBLb5lW3k

Her smile vanished instantly.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOYY1dUCOS

“You still have a chance.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnEzciQpkE

She stepped forward slowly.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rdrQgsSAH

“Join me.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7Bye1CsfG

“We can rule the world together.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebxRtQtU6d

The purple aura surrounding Shado became still for a moment.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTBuoMD0ad

Then—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY5vm3Xi4S

He stood up.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdjv1Lqvql

Slowly.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLOayDbzEb

But the instant he rose—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhgkeRLkML

everything changed.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRByYLktCV

Darkness exploded in every direction.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9tnIxZqPr

The ground trembled violently.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZQTVSEgSI

Even the ice Rose created began cracking apart immediately.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkw36oXKl6s

Her eyes widened in shock.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdRusnzBzw

And for the very first time…

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdxTc1gInf

she felt true fear.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfau2nQbS4

His aura alone…

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDHnAVMIMC

was enough to crush her.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2UuxytrRd

Shado slowly extended his hand.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OjZNbrot3

And his massive sword appeared instantly.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeFuD4S523

That enormous black blade releasing a dense violet aura.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbNefmnJ2W

He looked at her without emotion.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzat1AFitFL

Then said:

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xF679A3Bw

“Didn’t I say…”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VMpmK5Six

He vanished from his place.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdz2wKumqh

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

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3IscHk4KC

And in a single instant—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7lTSR5xPm

he appeared directly behind her.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeuUf8w9US

Rose’s eyes widened.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjH8HGXuXJs

But she could not even fully turn around.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQOoan6613

One strike.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4MJ8a5Kmd

Only one.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9mcaGKL84

The black sword passed through her body with horrifying ease.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczw4tBwR04

Silence.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDtzugTgIG

Then—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjzVBRmyv0

Rose’s body split into two halves.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJ1ZuqsyxK

All the ice shattered apart.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6EsexZZaN

And darkness swallowed the entire world completely.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly6IFBgjcl

Back in the real world—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPc7YtQDuo

Khaled suddenly opened his eyes.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifH6puaJXV

But he was no longer the same.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVOjy9ZQeX

Darkness moved violently around his body.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v9Jpu1uFC

As if it had completely lost control.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFTVPzlv5Q

And his eyes…

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PKPQmSD1Z

turned entirely violet for a few brief moments.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2Q8B3N3wO

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

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZcnfyqWot

Even Saif regained consciousness immediately.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLkl8CXav1

“Khaled…?”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5PHSwxwC3

But Khaled did not respond.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO4jYhoTYd

The darkness suddenly exploded outward around him.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX86hXiWTIV

It swallowed the trees.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmOK88Z4xT

The ground.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz258wQileE

Even Rose’s dead body.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKI62au4id7

Then—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAJj2Xlsk3

everything fell silent.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzZhfTVEJX

The darkness slowly began fading away.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSBIkQG0Bt

And Khaled appeared standing there with difficulty.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2fZTnrYUR

Breathing heavily.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVsu3RpLQn

Then he slowly looked around him.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEWKKifvyW

He found Abdulrahman and Saif unconscious beside him.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZ75RD0lSy

As for himself…

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPovJyml4uV

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

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagFW7Sx87L

Then—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8ec3UKMxg

he fell onto his knees.
