63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTzVJrK9nk

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KupqkzkBc

Rose smiled slowly.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXdXq7amZI

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

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAmv04U37u

“Hold him still,” she said calmly.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pZL5U3Pyb

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

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ALygT1BIo

Khaled struggled violently for a moment…

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrloRBVrEgy

But he could barely move anymore.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz71R57DzPu

Most of his energy had already been exhausted.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqdgak3E8V

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

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CQVLMYCXX

Rose leaned slightly closer to him.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaNH1duxMd

“It’s over.”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGT9g3pk0g

She placed her hand on his head.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VCHDoYJnK

And in the next moment—

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0trnat02P

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

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOqkAW780o

The sounds of the forest disappeared.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8prwwIslNX

The flames disappeared.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTdFXsBvw7

Even the pain…

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiXCaLNvA8

vanished.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh6ymNjFeP

Then—

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWmpuOKobo

He opened his eyes inside a strange world.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNu2zqF6B0

Darkness.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qmtmJ08OY

Nothing except darkness.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvPbsVoGLd

But this time…

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1IsXXcgPR

he was not alone.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKI8IgJ17mE

Rose stood beside him, cautiously looking around.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMt3IYvHqm6

“So this is your mind…”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY9hUEEsZO

she whispered slowly.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gkLykLCGa

But something in her voice had changed.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgVsheDGHn

She was no longer completely confident.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERS2h9bte0

There was slight tension beneath her calm expression.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAewM6gZTuj

Because this place…

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IGZ2ENdZA

was not normal.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcgHG4axIe

Even she could feel it.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga2MH3LJS5

The air itself felt unbearably heavy.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCXgGGv66E

And the darkness around them seemed alive…

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7P78ANFvZ

moving slowly.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU92np5SLRT

Watching them.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEfUGFdl4M

Then—

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq8RWK7tig

That voice appeared.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A2v3si92Q

Calm.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qtobDsODk

Heavy.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEtafTBmQz

“Who allowed you to enter?”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPK6IsKr0u

Rose froze instantly.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtGE3VR3Uj

Her eyes widened slightly.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwcqf2ziWe

And slowly…

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHToqBqf1X

a purple aura began appearing within the darkness.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnCqMHDkyv

Then the throne emerged.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBybCGYy6jI

A massive throne made from pure darkness itself.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1ZJdEkOxJ

That terrifying violet aura moved around it like living smoke.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKNSXLbAdN

And sitting above it…

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3h3ChqUoV

was Shado.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMmS3vxrEN

Calm.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTILhZoBARa

Resting his head against one hand.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhkOdE3GkM

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

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovUjsSpNOK

He looked at Rose for several moments without speaking.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3jiO3GZpv

But his gaze alone…

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBOOeNHEdT

made the tension inside her grow heavier.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPH63g1nzMc

She tried to maintain her smile.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWa0NJcohN

“So… you are the Shadow Lord.”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeyvgcUjHf

No response.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIV6fhu6D9

So she continued:

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsccIGszZY

“Let me control the mind of this boy.”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcrfuUevfF

Then she smiled coldly.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8KLf1CpRQ

“And I will free you from this prison.”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DClckKam2

For several seconds…

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAA5JZi7xMg

Shado did not move.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAYLfrxKNF

Then a low laugh escaped him.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrEBlaDMVc

Not merely mocking…

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlCq8uvLZ1

but terrifying.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOkB9I6XnD

“Free me?”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumORVuNU4F

He finally raised his eyes toward her.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd91Kp1YoLY

And at that moment—

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpECmHbPNP

Rose felt something cold move through her body.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwj6KPi6i5

Something close to fear.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQZ9kVwnB2

“I do not take orders from anyone.”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvxiwwubKp

The darkness around the throne shifted violently.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAYWO3qdcr

“And besides…”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50SslAfmzg

He glanced toward Khaled.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gsfIMU7ml

“This place has become mine.”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzu4znf55i

Then he looked back at her.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKbiINfdLW

“And this boy…”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDQKx4H5ND

A faint smile appeared on his face.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5VxMIeNOH

“I am the one who controls his mind.”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1u50sC5Zyi

Silence filled the darkness.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI4tk8uuAh

But this time…

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9091EZfkAi

Rose could no longer hide her tension.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpszTEg91oT

Even so, she said:

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGfvUCICfp

“Then both of you will die together.”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkAdGbHEVQ

She raised her hand.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dggcc0fFR

Ice immediately began spreading throughout that dark world.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVs0tw9CWsT

Blue frozen cracks formed across the black ground.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaTaMnSrZU

But—

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAdJzQyZLu

Shado merely looked at her.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxmuGj2yf0

Then sighed in boredom.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EiFLjwDto

“Pathetic…”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8D7z1Rw6h

Her smile vanished instantly.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhc0J9mpsU

“You still have a chance.”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpsjWOwdps

She stepped forward slowly.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iLJpMyPwi

“Join me.”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFl98S1eWZD

“We can rule the world together.”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IaTbbRlun

The purple aura surrounding Shado became still for a moment.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDCbknfwX1

Then—

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M2LfsTXS7

He stood up.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuXCw1JFGK

Slowly.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvCjjKNQsk

But the instant he rose—

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqPyLmEBa2

everything changed.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi48qpGrgPg

Darkness exploded in every direction.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPVDGwqwpz

The ground trembled violently.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAlCHUOgGa

Even the ice Rose created began cracking apart immediately.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1qhaKZvZx

Her eyes widened in shock.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEcVfGd1kx

And for the very first time…

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iRcH4oU1h

she felt true fear.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6juEo6Swu

His aura alone…

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNRIiAe6Lt

was enough to crush her.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LYv1U7iGy

Shado slowly extended his hand.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYZfBtJqMT

And his massive sword appeared instantly.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4URigXFRyg

That enormous black blade releasing a dense violet aura.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAYtHpZCV5

He looked at her without emotion.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnCbMpIE1S

Then said:

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6p5GFXe6B

“Didn’t I say…”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlOanTc672

He vanished from his place.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlrFnQGS69

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

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fqA57KoWo

And in a single instant—

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JutQ0KOP8

he appeared directly behind her.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWTtretp15

Rose’s eyes widened.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNuskbzHwQ

But she could not even fully turn around.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXrMr5zYOB

One strike.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKiToNwwMb

Only one.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfjxV3OAU4

The black sword passed through her body with horrifying ease.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITc4wFou67

Silence.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Pkoz2454z

Then—

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGuvaMGaMm

Rose’s body split into two halves.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYgdkPBy3a

All the ice shattered apart.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4A0UQ0PI3

And darkness swallowed the entire world completely.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBucIJnFDI

Back in the real world—

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeamrhcNApA

Khaled suddenly opened his eyes.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxRoZtZbpd

But he was no longer the same.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Uqr06Iqp8

Darkness moved violently around his body.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotBnmudmXa

As if it had completely lost control.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD3ckEdRhE

And his eyes…

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WRxpSuWcU

turned entirely violet for a few brief moments.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvROiVVTBU

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

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzcfYRjEPf

Even Saif regained consciousness immediately.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQyZI24Psz

“Khaled…?”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkR8dS3XydX

But Khaled did not respond.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdF8nGibBB

The darkness suddenly exploded outward around him.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8AOzjpGlK

It swallowed the trees.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8PhdFhj7f

The ground.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPlgZ5rRgX

Even Rose’s dead body.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qPBtR2Spq

Then—

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaVI9x5Q9l

everything fell silent.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb98VLmQ5Jg

The darkness slowly began fading away.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz43lFSA8DX

And Khaled appeared standing there with difficulty.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9cdbjYkS2

Breathing heavily.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiVVG4rLTZ

Then he slowly looked around him.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmaWFFYcYl

He found Abdulrahman and Saif unconscious beside him.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpt5RlsSz2

As for himself…

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnizoVrmnB1

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

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECdKL6nOn9

Then—

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyp25Vhf1m

he fell onto his knees.
