42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBBH99S5AU

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

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiZYomMaHn

The icy blade descended directly toward Khaled's head.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbU4TdxT51u

But—

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJYuOD4gzo

At the very last moment...

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfm7kK24gGL

He remembered his grandfather's words.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZvQXlxF2b

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

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwd9oF91CNF

"It's inside you."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pdxlJoDMe

Khaled's eyes widened.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEanZj3K7vw

Then he grabbed the shattered ring stone lying beside him.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBoJrenO8u

Without hesitation—

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28xQJE5v0h

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

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sD9pbN9he

Silence fell.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFkNWe1jSa

For a single second.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdr1A57NP4

Then—

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk39vYnSIZO

BOOOOOOOOOOOM!!

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooug2HfqV7

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

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4bGQSCwtI

The ground trembled.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVLoiDIoQW

The hills cracked apart.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBY4aNLUlhH

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

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGyzFDsX1I

Abdulrahman's eyes widened.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLgCLkvxMZ

"K-Khaled?!"

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrX5yDli2C3

A colossal storm of darkness spiraled around him.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztwLRSnq5z

Then it slowly began to take shape.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vm6bRB9WN

Black armor.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KwtQvNnYj

Similar to Shadow Lord's armor.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfJahKjfKC

But lighter.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx0luTcitt

More practical.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRpAR9O8FQ

Built for a true warrior.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvZ1wEQIeu

As for the sword...

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPfEvYbOai

It had changed completely.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHF7RZkaIe

Longer.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLA5L9NGcJl

Wider.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirw4LSGJCp

Glowing violet lines ran across the blade.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadXSzcW2Kv

Slowly, Khaled raised his head.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJxi5WgDmK

Both of his eyes had become completely violet.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DVCYKxVzm

Radius smiled.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MsVjubgyU

"Much better."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCELm5gedF

He tightened his grip on his sword.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcQnAy51zg

"Show me."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZxA35ph4z

Khaled vanished.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kOjrWYw4S

Radius vanished as well.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPLuj1rfi0

CLAAAAAAAAAANG!!

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBgVa5kEe3

The earth shook.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZIELYmyH4

Their blades collided at the center of the battlefield.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwdO7VtOf9

Then—

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDLxWT3ZOr

CLANG!!

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2nRIGoxti

CLANG!!

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNInEtS4NNY

CLANG!!

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiwHjZvD7e

CLANG!!

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZMzJdYW3Z

Black and blue sparks filled the sky.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclUalKBRl5

One strike.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GshM9Dk6I

Another.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH78B3lExpV

A third.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iLd1dShwH

A tenth.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75R7uHWLYs

Then—

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSt0DPhUx1

For the first time...

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnEWgYxvzK

Radius took a step backward.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEftKhgRyK

Abdulrahman's eyes widened.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx40V5xDb4g

"He pushed him back!"

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBrGNuqDYj

Khaled immediately pressed the advantage.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEHTGyJCYC

A powerful horizontal slash.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLjO1XouDo

Radius was forced to raise his sword to defend.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAhKgJ9jPo

Then Khaled appeared behind him.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ7hH6eadM

Then above him.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9VN1cwF6T

Then in front of him.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0xbyOhXjy

A relentless barrage of attacks.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGf003Kz2l

Not giving him a single moment to breathe.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjClFp7sqq

But—

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPXaG8CXM6

Suddenly.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9Tp8Qso0h

Radius laughed.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9YfoZUoPy

A short, calm laugh.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYR5fGIIgA

"Excellent."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJp4BueyIR

He raised his head.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7udhU7wOW1

The icy seal on his forehead began to glow.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsapGdTgMo

❄️ Frost Domain

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjzk0Z2JAN

He drove the tip of his sword into the ground.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LH7IK7Ikf

BOOOOOOOOM!!

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3XYxUVKj8

Massive circles of ice spread in every direction.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQTlpqpXQJ

The entire battlefield transformed into a frozen wasteland.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIf4nPyAhi

Khaled paused for a moment.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTJvJPp5kp

Then charged.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5HjMzrAv4

But—

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjXOvIL86g

Something felt wrong.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9kSr9nGeC

His attack was slower.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZkrjbW4wt

Only slightly.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqxlUo4PEO

But Radius dodged it effortlessly.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZMHWi0Aep

Then counterattacked.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsgAXtyQTq

A slash tore through Khaled's armor.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFUArnpRGg

Khaled's eyes widened.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzJF1hwI8o

"Impossible..."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEhErrrMa4

He attacked again.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjofS4iqRr

The same result.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpwHWXLotQ

Every movement.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjjMfiypfd

Every step.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOng4fsAO5

Every turn.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aH7ZlY1X6

Slightly slower.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtgmC9smkJ

Another strike landed.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm42PPgD56l

Then another.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEkYcgiT1g

Then another.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbvQr1RueS

Until blood began dripping from Khaled's mouth.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOCHXOFDXZ

He retreated while breathing heavily.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy039GPaqd

"What is happening?"

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAZhqcXOel

He looked at the ground.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOg60jzu77d

The ice.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUaSkR3nSL

Then his feet.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriXRNAUyzS

And suddenly—

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs2myxuWXh

He understood.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Y1ZwaReX9

His eyes widened.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiHbIuojt2

"It's not me..."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5erkk1q6ci

"The battlefield itself is slowing me down."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ihdAywd9p

Radius smiled.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMO3rrBFmx4

"You figured it out."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYCatAiPft

But Khaled didn't smile.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1079i5PNj

Instead, he closed his eyes.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTorxA8C4KH

Focused.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTY6IEKJvuB

The shadows beneath his feet began gathering.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtzLFT7bMS

Then—

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4SyT3Xvea

He disappeared into them.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3eXhVy3rB

Moving through shadows instead of across the frozen ground.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8eFu6DuRU

Suddenly—

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCSA6FAgho

He appeared in front of Radius.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8DSQyDQnH

SLASH!!

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJig9INocy

A fresh wound appeared on the knight's shoulder.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58caxkbSqH

Radius looked at the injury.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsU0uNp7ftG

Then smiled.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dzFhMVlsD

A smile of genuine admiration.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1HUTke2um

"So you've adapted."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNN3J8zaOF

He raised his sword once more.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzbtoT82By

"In that case..."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRXICplegF

"I'll reveal the next card."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrRd6iwEc7

❄️ Frozen Echo

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTyiIq8iHs

"The Frozen Echo."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTyt2IXHUj

He swung his sword only once.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLRDhqSwpT

Khaled dodged effortlessly.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcB8PJbLFN

"Missed."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTW1dQ67tg

But—

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10gp1dtUFH

SLASH!!

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vCjbPfIBh

A deep wound suddenly appeared across his back.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRepVBj7Gz

His eyes widened.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPdjXB8SXm

"What?!"

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kCh2CLyPX

He looked around.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0qjdKUKvl

Nothing.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hz3dthHlD

No one.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iDaxrLUCJ

Then a second strike came.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1INHPWGyz

A third.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErAdcMlfQ2

A fourth.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZOJbkgMwd

Every attack he avoided...

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuBl8rx7Tg

Returned seconds later from another direction.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1UMmpKt4b

As if it were hunting him.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2okv71jtf

The wounds continued to increase.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FRtyDUyyJ

Blood flowed.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJJ5J5J4LP

The black armor began to crack.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLv2uTlejBG

Yet Khaled never stopped thinking.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdjfpqI0jm

He observed.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQXXBgCrEh

Waited.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdV1h8hOJog

Analyzed.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi31IUbmXl

Another attack flew past him.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAq4U6VrGQ

He immediately struck it.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBRR0CUczA

The icy slash shattered.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SIA8VAna2

His eyes widened.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZ3MdoT8hR

Then he smiled.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto4tBod9yS

At last...

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFyvjJ31hr

He understood.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwJyA1mJg4

Radius raised an eyebrow.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2RE76SY5c

"Oh?"

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZLmwL3rcR

Khaled wiped the blood from his mouth.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuMpc0RMVt

Then looked at the frozen traces floating in the air.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHgBLrOw9c

"Those aren't new attacks."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxc0RjQlk1

"They're remnants of your previous ones."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Tlrlo2o7G

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

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZpwDfJg4Y

"And that imprint attacks again moments later."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDns966Woi

Silence followed.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAt8Lfs9v9h

Then—

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntoCxMiQmM

Radius smiled.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEU8ep8gjz

A smile of genuine respect.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH99Aj7fCdU

"Interesting."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUz2PNX2rV

"It took me years to master that technique."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQtMMFAm6l

"And you deciphered it in minutes."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieYa0Aw3ce

In the distance—

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoDGR9N0U0

Abdulrahman listened.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMmllj2n4k

Despite his injuries.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBFKIlG3N5

Despite his exhaustion.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQKGEAkCpn

He couldn't stop himself from smiling.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqth5OnEff2

"Heh..."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZjg8UYoM5

"That's the Khaled I know."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2gzod8ArP

But—

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNWMK493XR

Radius raised his sword again.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpud8Ys714w

The smile vanished from his face.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZD5wqMWldd

"Unfortunately..."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhuj35hu8X

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

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEqUDykt8C

CLANG!!

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdMgOG3SEi

Another strike.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h5HwnbXt8

But this time—

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCQcNSgEOn

Khaled destroyed the frozen echo before it could reach him.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6N9qtaZ2z

Then the second.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tIzgpIzXo

The third.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GpomQDVXI

The fourth.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡan76axUNEa

He was adapting.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46YbYzDBKi

And getting closer.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLaIitzUUp

SLASH!!

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbEjnoLgul

A new wound appeared on Radius's arm.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8zYognuzq

Then another.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORviLkpXnC

On his shoulder.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOebEmXmSp1

Then a third.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8mb8AZFrX

Across his icy armor.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSP5CtR3oy

For the first time since the battle began...

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZfmxSRsXC

The knight was being pushed back.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fPc4BW6ak

One step.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpKlfTKTQT

Then another.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpKZACdhSG

Abdulrahman's eyes widened.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHvj12mGqw

"He's forcing Radius back!"

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoXIWNy6fh

But suddenly—

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusdZkiwIFn

Radius stopped.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxRY7YoBjA

Looked down at the wounds covering his body.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhUHflJQ2K

Then sighed.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAeitO9ayJ

"I suppose..."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCDEtImXlf

"It's time to stop playing."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8ClkQ78h8

The icy seal shone brighter than ever before.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwcMoi3EDZ

This time—

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M3BrjlUkl

Even the air itself trembled.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICdHcyxCVB

❄️ Royal Ice Armor

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYCr1nnnXK

BOOOOOOOOM!!

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdfL7544Eg

Blue energy erupted from his body.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GuvVbsBF2

Layers of ice formed over his armor.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmokxXb0Ln

But this wasn't ordinary ice.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcFeyT6Po8

It resembled legendary metal.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJXwIdYvLR

Shining.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKDc7uvUGv

Sharp.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz31Okm74nJ

Heavy.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHtM5Q5q7M

Khaled attacked immediately.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhabFvJGcxu

Striking with all his strength.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nBKW7WRVB

CLAAAAAAANG!!

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQQDuywUSm

The ground shook violently.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQC6zcaqWg

But—

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JG9KILoBE

Radius didn't move.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeXvJu4pOr

Not even a single centimeter.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtKzCNOn8Q

Khaled's eyes widened.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhbIucnv0e

"What?!"

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5H4Cy5O6gd

He attacked again.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDon6Zhsahu

Then again.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVn4HHRAF1j

Then ten more times.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqqFBuOZLJ

The result never changed.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMeDPiVzWd

No damage.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlsUNqSuKT

No wounds.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70S0UpIPv9

Nothing.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTz6HQtRFh

Worse yet—

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6ltmLpWMo

His hand began freezing with every strike.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfeS9bfpKk

He quickly retreated.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4vp4027qc

Looking down at his fingers.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaR79Mt5pB

A layer of ice had formed over them.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0UP08YrXw

Radius smiled.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLg9PjaHgNO

"Now do you understand?"

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2682WZd0z

"This armor doesn't merely defend."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVJXVnRKPv

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

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqE0n941Ib7

Abdulrahman's eyes widened.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUSwZHj8KG

"It reflects damage?!"

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyf9NvgnTCj

Radius answered calmly.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnRy60JBSt

"Only part of it."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xduva175y

"But that's enough."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ijyLfjYvJ

Khaled looked at his hand.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj1zTFjQJd

Then his sword.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqgsgZfraz

Then the armor.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjES8IhJiBT

"I see."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnq8YzHYZh

"Then I won't attack it directly."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2Jkgzi2NE

He vanished into the shadows.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV50OUMw5xe

Appearing from the side.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vROo6mQ01

Then behind.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYpfcTzamF

Then above.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBStpEj1veu

Dozens of attacks.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CboXl79rX

From every direction.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWiECstIMN

But—

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYk5EvZU7D

Radius blocked them all.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvoJOY6pPw

Like an immovable wall.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYXHdDC5vq

Khaled's breathing grew heavier.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlLcGG4edJ

His body weaker.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPlLbMtZdd

Meanwhile—

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwZcKGKZMa

Radius still stood firm.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UlA64sUQm

Like a mountain.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65I3sb8UV2

Then—

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXTt6H9aKX

Abdulrahman suddenly shouted.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSwbDRHB41

"Khaled!"

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvU3dHpzmDH

Khaled looked toward him.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbItZMbAdcP

"The right knee!"

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNnSkTilqJ

His eyes widened.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7rGYMtwtC

He remembered.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RfGMahwyH

Earlier...

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jEBqLeyWK

When Radius blocked the massive fireball...

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9WYb02MPp

There had been a brief opening.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53A3NHmiki

A weakness.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSXatkM2A2

At the right knee.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OKbXToLPo

Khaled vanished instantly.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeAwe8YeKw

Appearing beneath Radius.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84vxm8yrLO

SLASH!!

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tMhHNkH7I

A small wound appeared.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLexZm1xM4L

Tiny.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBP08LE8jT

But—

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBvYvLMStj

It was there.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG6MGudYkp

Silence fell.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRikfP6LqO

Radius stared at the injury.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wmS1m7Nbo

For the first time...

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvc4d2rMDrz

His smile disappeared.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7KDwo8huT

"You found even that..."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV8hPc3VRZ

Abdulrahman grinned despite his injuries.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSwpl13Om2

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

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1udRzy08j

Radius laughed.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEofVelbb1

A short laugh.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyVwedoTeC

Yet it carried something unexpected.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj3apKDx5W

Admiration.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktQqMQXOAF

"I admit it..."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPE52TTIK1R

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

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H8r7OSLd7

Then he raised his sword toward the sky.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVHXzdQbBD

Every smile disappeared.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaMIkT9f42

Every trace of amusement vanished.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8YkWbSd9g

His entire expression changed.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfOf9TEMTM

"Which is exactly why..."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q2LeYHG67

"I'm going to use it."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAJwiDTYHW

The air froze.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxn6K99TqC

The blue flames around Abdulrahman froze.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZm3vCCi5k

Even the shadows surrounding Khaled began moving more slowly.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmjIE5sS7k

Both of them widened their eyes.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡef7BCHDKpf

Because they felt something terrifying.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDDk3oPX7Q

Something that made their instincts scream.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12SWV20j6o

Run.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VUlV5pFEG

But Radius continued.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyUWncBnBU

"Now..."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2K303ufS1

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

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4BaCkQOoK

❄️ Absolute Zero Slash

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZerV8w1WAs

"The Slash of Absolute Zero."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OqPJe4wxT

Energy began gathering around the blade.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡle1fMLDJFb

More.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgo57SNfxm

And more.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BE82Vahrc

And more.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57v5W2Tlzv

Until the ground started cracking from the cold.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbmXNhgDkL

The rocks froze solid.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkKE37c6DB

The wind ceased completely.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWGNVt75DL

Even Abdulrahman found it difficult to breathe.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3D8ZyV4VY

Radius looked at them.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSfNDpstXa

There was no enjoyment left in his eyes.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqJp01PwgL

No excitement.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci1CsYq3nm

Only seriousness.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsEcR4Eu6E

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

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXEIL9nwLI

He slowly lowered the blade.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIp5F6h83x

"And now..."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvt7NBpFcy

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