21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CXqsp55vV

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

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjcyeq2dXX

The icy blade descended directly toward Khaled's head.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIy7a9cVzt

But—

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlwjuV5Jpo

At the very last moment...

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0ijB4rBQi

He remembered his grandfather's words.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv7QncYdcZ

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

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XLG0AyOKf

"It's inside you."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR1howHr8a

Khaled's eyes widened.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmpi8GdJy8

Then he grabbed the shattered ring stone lying beside him.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0BqD9fK6r

Without hesitation—

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYSEH7zneI

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

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DLQWEPw07

Silence fell.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe51mQiS1ef

For a single second.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjT8xTvnuC

Then—

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCT99WPqVOa

BOOOOOOOOOOOM!!

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8p21T4hrL

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

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡok2FZQLgfh

The ground trembled.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurANNe1wJe

The hills cracked apart.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJZYgqkVuz

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

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnypheOO9D

Abdulrahman's eyes widened.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxSdahuqmn

"K-Khaled?!"

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiM435SgZ3

A colossal storm of darkness spiraled around him.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNpKJk6pXG

Then it slowly began to take shape.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiiucjnR47

Black armor.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcN2ax1EZf

Similar to Shadow Lord's armor.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58tLVi3ghp

But lighter.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZAVzO7w7o

More practical.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1RI23wL5B

Built for a true warrior.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNizhsGAClr

As for the sword...

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62XiPqqpdA

It had changed completely.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmEY3VrNwn

Longer.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh72sM7d7R

Wider.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV5E3Iw0eC

Glowing violet lines ran across the blade.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmm2WJkXoX

Slowly, Khaled raised his head.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXfCQQR8kE

Both of his eyes had become completely violet.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1t3UOX7Z1o

Radius smiled.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgGk3NmFiA

"Much better."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmDHNmhcYi

He tightened his grip on his sword.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yOtSRYJI6

"Show me."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoWI1o7doz

Khaled vanished.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfudX5niwzx

Radius vanished as well.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI8yxRxktc

CLAAAAAAAAAANG!!

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZl5RSifnyp

The earth shook.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWZnuHwNm5

Their blades collided at the center of the battlefield.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuvoBOwEKC

Then—

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIbjs4tRpf

CLANG!!

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QG01wyxWt

CLANG!!

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBReMWGrBB

CLANG!!

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Hk6kWlWvl

CLANG!!

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8oHBSbyBO

Black and blue sparks filled the sky.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LQV9zhjNr

One strike.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FJJZA2Fry

Another.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYfs0JZNVX

A third.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFioRBcF8kH

A tenth.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8X5qPtp4n

Then—

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vj80iQwMD

For the first time...

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOFsZl2rT8

Radius took a step backward.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBhDQSvuoc

Abdulrahman's eyes widened.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4TeSkQeBp

"He pushed him back!"

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGDzWnwD30

Khaled immediately pressed the advantage.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2KewRFJ7J

A powerful horizontal slash.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJJPZ9B6JR

Radius was forced to raise his sword to defend.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygwFafWHGo

Then Khaled appeared behind him.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmwXDDuMor

Then above him.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93UZtTBiSH

Then in front of him.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2jsOskjCi

A relentless barrage of attacks.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAfqoCHo3s

Not giving him a single moment to breathe.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDui6lhgMse

But—

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW7x7cLIEN

Suddenly.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TgcihBKup

Radius laughed.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZjjw48y44

A short, calm laugh.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevw0B0wcUy

"Excellent."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5aoUiqy2z

He raised his head.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGTzTaxzXX

The icy seal on his forehead began to glow.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEqTagyn5m

❄️ Frost Domain

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWh3lWULLPU

He drove the tip of his sword into the ground.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmubx34CKH

BOOOOOOOOM!!

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsT3jyOLrHa

Massive circles of ice spread in every direction.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1N9OeqMT3T

The entire battlefield transformed into a frozen wasteland.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0A1QPXKdp

Khaled paused for a moment.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFWFbl9Wm9

Then charged.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nPLSEFEzC

But—

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ok5LBD4kr

Something felt wrong.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrphobU3o4M

His attack was slower.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyJ9vfYLUj

Only slightly.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvXVcGuvun

But Radius dodged it effortlessly.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMIhba9ZLZ

Then counterattacked.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSo7QY1vOv

A slash tore through Khaled's armor.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqPW4mXtrR

Khaled's eyes widened.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxH14Bf8BmP

"Impossible..."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00j847GdAx

He attacked again.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCmII08Quk

The same result.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OxB6vBTYf

Every movement.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ksmJyH8xd

Every step.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1r8ns17lU0

Every turn.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXndyE32hZe

Slightly slower.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8581EEgakV

Another strike landed.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDQFHjBsQh

Then another.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPU36YrueWH

Then another.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5EyktpT77

Until blood began dripping from Khaled's mouth.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsJsV8eqqp

He retreated while breathing heavily.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ197fskzsMm

"What is happening?"

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4n0klxMjJj

He looked at the ground.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23oigkfzpf

The ice.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RZabHd1o7

Then his feet.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHOu1i3pvR

And suddenly—

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwExluxB2t

He understood.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGELrVYnUgr

His eyes widened.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmTbbnCKqV

"It's not me..."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvG8ZZQ1H7

"The battlefield itself is slowing me down."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMbtnJbIc4

Radius smiled.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RGQZrZ9Jy

"You figured it out."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDyMuEnzNy

But Khaled didn't smile.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7VW2nwXnn

Instead, he closed his eyes.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3IJXkp3PO

Focused.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgJcXGMibx

The shadows beneath his feet began gathering.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGARRJItTcL

Then—

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8JXDCAAmc

He disappeared into them.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DUX0UoQ62

Moving through shadows instead of across the frozen ground.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEmWi7D0Ab

Suddenly—

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzXOmeIsPt

He appeared in front of Radius.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKiI8Fefhh

SLASH!!

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKG3ydUEAm

A fresh wound appeared on the knight's shoulder.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHiLfvNimg

Radius looked at the injury.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1AlaKticy

Then smiled.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEze3Xpq95v

A smile of genuine admiration.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKT3ijuYGxv

"So you've adapted."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4Fw2tMnTM

He raised his sword once more.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JQnfmCcB1

"In that case..."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJnMrA7oRh

"I'll reveal the next card."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYq07ttPJSS

❄️ Frozen Echo

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZTRSTX5P5

"The Frozen Echo."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bk2up6JwZ

He swung his sword only once.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXyKMNm7B8

Khaled dodged effortlessly.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpsASXzGWk

"Missed."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03rGyprC4O

But—

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDbhlzvnYF

SLASH!!

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGrGkmftEX

A deep wound suddenly appeared across his back.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMld62y8sJv

His eyes widened.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjNbTtQLUi

"What?!"

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQ2PAIoeKx

He looked around.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtZt1vIMur

Nothing.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6jd4k7Ntm

No one.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SWKSMooH4

Then a second strike came.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHicSOHtzcS

A third.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9HIE2ZDwY

A fourth.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzk87oHK54z

Every attack he avoided...

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ShHvZcLY3

Returned seconds later from another direction.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM6m3bGXcs

As if it were hunting him.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlV8xTBKhv

The wounds continued to increase.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqdYB5yqrj

Blood flowed.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjrCH2uUgD

The black armor began to crack.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOONAL4YIsJ

Yet Khaled never stopped thinking.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RatK1EmPi

He observed.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre4ebbv0Li

Waited.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9VhMYGXHT

Analyzed.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZl0LS7IJ5s

Another attack flew past him.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNfGdlU9MM

He immediately struck it.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrK3KXf0nvs

The icy slash shattered.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1bjvsKFjX

His eyes widened.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfk0fgKKL0f

Then he smiled.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKYQLEfSne

At last...

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCMDAIn8S2

He understood.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFcmbILHVl

Radius raised an eyebrow.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVIG1L7VeI

"Oh?"

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVu0valbgu

Khaled wiped the blood from his mouth.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxIvVVNuEM

Then looked at the frozen traces floating in the air.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUY4TI6G0Te

"Those aren't new attacks."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYzoSUrBUM

"They're remnants of your previous ones."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbK29NEDLV

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

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq39sifIAY

"And that imprint attacks again moments later."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBSUa2JBeF

Silence followed.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7Zdq9Yhrk

Then—

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAznm4HrY8k

Radius smiled.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniJpBFGBBm

A smile of genuine respect.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgMqRPbnpf

"Interesting."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoAZoLhhNv

"It took me years to master that technique."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRu9Tem14x

"And you deciphered it in minutes."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif9lRegk0g

In the distance—

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uv5rN0MuM

Abdulrahman listened.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBYMCOoYbM

Despite his injuries.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEcykDToyK

Despite his exhaustion.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrj1caubOR

He couldn't stop himself from smiling.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0CrM3GSh2

"Heh..."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtymE3EwzB

"That's the Khaled I know."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOEnSfqVY1

But—

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlWQMdYUw7

Radius raised his sword again.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36xp2RiZ74

The smile vanished from his face.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qgD1DLrUb

"Unfortunately..."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMIAXtyKrq

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

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwixKk5okb

CLANG!!

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKzp69zfvV

Another strike.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbDRq68MMl

But this time—

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINba6dyv9B

Khaled destroyed the frozen echo before it could reach him.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxOFn4Sv5V

Then the second.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQqK7mDbXz

The third.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIerKa9W9Z5

The fourth.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmj6KKOLjrY

He was adapting.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdyjsuVutN

And getting closer.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8v9jAm3ci

SLASH!!

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi4sTpoksH

A new wound appeared on Radius's arm.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9f0jufdFK

Then another.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk3pLmFgr9

On his shoulder.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecmZx0ZUli

Then a third.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmy7J9LnWL

Across his icy armor.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdBtJlrvBU

For the first time since the battle began...

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNbi32GjQ1

The knight was being pushed back.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1W3yksIC5o

One step.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGbCoegS7B

Then another.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcV92Zco3qH

Abdulrahman's eyes widened.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJWTZPspDk

"He's forcing Radius back!"

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Lz5I1Q0WR

But suddenly—

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvYF0kgrZE

Radius stopped.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvm5ZrG81Hy

Looked down at the wounds covering his body.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZKWiAHrfJ

Then sighed.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKZ5oI4nJT

"I suppose..."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0TcHb6yew

"It's time to stop playing."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNi5KqzRzd

The icy seal shone brighter than ever before.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtSA3xjrgn

This time—

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43NQFHcYL7

Even the air itself trembled.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTZ6ME8Ma5

❄️ Royal Ice Armor

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Vfk5QXTzj

BOOOOOOOOM!!

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbjs5ePYhc

Blue energy erupted from his body.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvf9PzpbxQ

Layers of ice formed over his armor.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEINZrVB7B

But this wasn't ordinary ice.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQCGJBmalz

It resembled legendary metal.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaA6VQ65C5q

Shining.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFFjHiksj6

Sharp.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWONsdbU3kf

Heavy.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcHFIdi7p6

Khaled attacked immediately.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqnFUwudDv

Striking with all his strength.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kHm1OtwsO

CLAAAAAAANG!!

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jY3JbFzvt

The ground shook violently.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB9iYdcn8R

But—

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGaL9vivhD

Radius didn't move.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn57aFvPzru

Not even a single centimeter.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZH6PuJ2TF

Khaled's eyes widened.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoK3x58obDA

"What?!"

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJE9pNVR8Y

He attacked again.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclhBtG3E1L

Then again.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd1TIUJ7mQ

Then ten more times.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBvso0mQGq

The result never changed.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVELFXQhvXz

No damage.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQi0Ht83FH

No wounds.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKiMXOr37F

Nothing.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODAexk9jfM

Worse yet—

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vRQDZF6MK

His hand began freezing with every strike.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcODvAxOTp

He quickly retreated.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHGkgLcVMo

Looking down at his fingers.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4DPOtiPaz

A layer of ice had formed over them.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJO3yOQZ2lW

Radius smiled.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmU9NzDmXU

"Now do you understand?"

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PX8sUM3vM

"This armor doesn't merely defend."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9HGlm6Ij4

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

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeW0LUa6Ek

Abdulrahman's eyes widened.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowcigzXtak

"It reflects damage?!"

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ig2JheReQ

Radius answered calmly.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkASpS3XAs

"Only part of it."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2u3mDDxDhz

"But that's enough."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRHf2O1QmM

Khaled looked at his hand.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH80AX71jSd

Then his sword.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3BGiPGxAu

Then the armor.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnnGyxdWHG

"I see."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVzvtq2ZkW

"Then I won't attack it directly."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZ54cRPUvH

He vanished into the shadows.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyLzL2Mgqv

Appearing from the side.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNePpwJRyS

Then behind.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30Icqhgi5e

Then above.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeb80ZXRqwH

Dozens of attacks.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxPLXTkpxO

From every direction.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahrxFdgeZg

But—

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDSJAFVPij

Radius blocked them all.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosw6dRTh3b

Like an immovable wall.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvzPHRvTK6

Khaled's breathing grew heavier.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiQLtjvBNk

His body weaker.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpV4GlWFwG

Meanwhile—

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBTwtDZQ2b

Radius still stood firm.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p3oshmare

Like a mountain.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0c1roFVUy

Then—

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78qIvM1EAM

Abdulrahman suddenly shouted.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOIboW2DFH

"Khaled!"

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKVNO2Aven

Khaled looked toward him.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYaLLPAlbJ

"The right knee!"

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXISM6FObw

His eyes widened.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hjR2FyBdh

He remembered.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7DT9UoK9Y

Earlier...

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKScE9ViUw

When Radius blocked the massive fireball...

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXd26hsSK0

There had been a brief opening.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXN2HjKImqo

A weakness.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsfgpJAioS

At the right knee.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuXKqH5Yzy

Khaled vanished instantly.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi9adM5DBl

Appearing beneath Radius.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlv6cYaySOG

SLASH!!

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClNQoXvdHh

A small wound appeared.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvb659OMfza

Tiny.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgJgefMRCW

But—

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRIuRWvfVN

It was there.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DzmdEoNgi

Silence fell.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1i11GxMCgl

Radius stared at the injury.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTdjkimtW1

For the first time...

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVzeGI8l1F

His smile disappeared.

"You found even that..."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0kXEe591G

Abdulrahman grinned despite his injuries.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkJ2iZF9oV

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

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUVXB2ykuY

Radius laughed.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oaLk1QbRl

A short laugh.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yXtP1kK0u

Yet it carried something unexpected.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb9iTpEaH0

Admiration.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbETksLu1br

"I admit it..."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXome8Aa2M

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

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XoQDhnfiQ

Then he raised his sword toward the sky.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqicUGhJK5d

Every smile disappeared.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYoJfe1J7c

Every trace of amusement vanished.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyLskF40zQ

His entire expression changed.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGWNfVsTTd

"Which is exactly why..."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyX1Tm90h1

"I'm going to use it."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wq82HGJCE

The air froze.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuBUBTnM7u

The blue flames around Abdulrahman froze.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpYsTs3tUu

Even the shadows surrounding Khaled began moving more slowly.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQooieJ95F1

Both of them widened their eyes.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iAnN5VGST

Because they felt something terrifying.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrorVyFonq

Something that made their instincts scream.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D9mhvlOhU

Run.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVN318C93Dj

But Radius continued.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk355sOgHtU

"Now..."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqmhdriL2p

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

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89qkIxkFAd

❄️ Absolute Zero Slash

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsQKnipMu5

"The Slash of Absolute Zero."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuoxdzi6wM

Energy began gathering around the blade.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWnVclCcAM

More.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwl9Ks3a4N

And more.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Zuya5m8JN

And more.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8evHRrPc5Q

Until the ground started cracking from the cold.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9Q0o21BmA

The rocks froze solid.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhxzrUvK5l

The wind ceased completely.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9AaPG8yHj

Even Abdulrahman found it difficult to breathe.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUT6CC71ZX0

Radius looked at them.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisTBi34HVj

There was no enjoyment left in his eyes.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XeowR5ZTB

No excitement.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZOpZIyEun

Only seriousness.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnD8lqtuKhD

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

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8jlKt30Ur

He slowly lowered the blade.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLhUODoexo

"And now..."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5psveyRTTH

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