Title: Shadow of the Eternal Flame - Chapter 5 : Second Enemy ( Part 3 )

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDo6WKMalip

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY5WMG008n

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaloavktbKZ

Rose smiled slowly.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6Zommaz8L

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

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tRXVQgbYi

“Hold him still,” she said calmly.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj15WytxmU

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

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoEbcVhrHr

Khaled struggled violently for a moment…

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFoua9Jlf9

But he could barely move anymore.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MtgjEkymM

Most of his energy had already been exhausted.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HTUHH0awZ

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

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IpRrZTjAq

Rose leaned slightly closer to him.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVf4h2UqDH

“It’s over.”

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2llrFHK39t

She placed her hand on his head.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61ZLMZOCOj

And in the next moment—

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NWL5BbLXJ

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

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOh1M8pfvIy

The sounds of the forest disappeared.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhmn8s3J45

The flames disappeared.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJoKNTUb6w

Even the pain…

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakmZELhXSC

vanished.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTYvynap8h

Then—

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp2kewWxIL

He opened his eyes inside a strange world.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFfdCefS9O

Darkness.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eIBrlRKNa

Nothing except darkness.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi7ponm4Qz

But this time…

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBuBN1cOEU

he was not alone.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5SocLPLHW

Rose stood beside him, cautiously looking around.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDhRJCeO6o

“So this is your mind…”

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MwFP84fgA

she whispered slowly.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrqxOwzQIB

But something in her voice had changed.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3i6rU64N8

She was no longer completely confident.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF757TV8EjX

There was slight tension beneath her calm expression.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLSxuHFRoS

Because this place…

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3i5TywCM5

was not normal.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7erUv4K0LX

Even she could feel it.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPQ4kvKBgC

The air itself felt unbearably heavy.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3mhmClk6t

And the darkness around them seemed alive…

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrZCX3Dgg5

moving slowly.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP9xzVSApY

Watching them.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefu6sjJ5Ls

Then—

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgBB5LiFML

That voice appeared.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEnGHZv4n2

Calm.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEMvcw4z7L

Heavy.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CkPncdVl3

“Who allowed you to enter?”

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0km2UEwKiQ

Rose froze instantly.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRIN4jofmw

Her eyes widened slightly.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel6N4SBCTL

And slowly…

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHg629UBBpm

a purple aura began appearing within the darkness.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HT0SWkKmB

Then the throne emerged.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ24fNpj7b8

A massive throne made from pure darkness itself.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AsM0CiG7Y

That terrifying violet aura moved around it like living smoke.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8Bqfy4Ax1

And sitting above it…

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9UbQOl9sD

was Shado.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkddcTVrjcS

Calm.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vxrJFGbJL

Resting his head against one hand.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYs2uv9jBU1

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

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0aBGmcgOo

He looked at Rose for several moments without speaking.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQpF5kx7OZ

But his gaze alone…

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusvOEnVFXT

made the tension inside her grow heavier.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZZYTMFEOu

She tried to maintain her smile.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHH1EtaG7Q

“So… you are the Shadow Lord.”

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8cL8yCRn6

No response.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyCz4IlMLu

So she continued:

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rANqQEsLH

“Let me control the mind of this boy.”

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGLvLJNbbq

Then she smiled coldly.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFp3MDasVr

“And I will free you from this prison.”

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z5YWO2HAE

For several seconds…

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaO9JxuXROo

Shado did not move.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2sDmOna00

Then a low laugh escaped him.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPWyzRJpll

Not merely mocking…

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmWE8NCphN

but terrifying.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kBAL8OHFH

“Free me?”

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjVTgzo7Jn

He finally raised his eyes toward her.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruV7FBL3SB

And at that moment—

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuM1svSQD7

Rose felt something cold move through her body.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTA28um8EFJ

Something close to fear.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPiwCsOo27

“I do not take orders from anyone.”

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1G23gMmS2

The darkness around the throne shifted violently.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8rE3YzAAp

“And besides…”

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp1Pg9axY8

He glanced toward Khaled.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNxl0brfHh

“This place has become mine.”

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjora6sQfaE

Then he looked back at her.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbvXfzC4W9

“And this boy…”

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9c12koq0wG

A faint smile appeared on his face.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6NDwn4yKE

“I am the one who controls his mind.”

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspMkzPRG5e

Silence filled the darkness.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OelErNVaK

But this time…

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeZvj7pnDG

Rose could no longer hide her tension.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeriQIkJRHs

Even so, she said:

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadO76TOq1s

“Then both of you will die together.”

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUfTlkip1E

She raised her hand.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL3jFGBCtI

Ice immediately began spreading throughout that dark world.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6OB5Irs0g

Blue frozen cracks formed across the black ground.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi8xwmp3y8

But—

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVFzznzRBT

Shado merely looked at her.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjxYVqalKy

Then sighed in boredom.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ba30PtclN

“Pathetic…”

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtumPQNGjeF

Her smile vanished instantly.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicJuDL5xgg

“You still have a chance.”

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cp8gdjuWQ

She stepped forward slowly.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYRF8YaJMx

“Join me.”

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiYB5wUh4s

“We can rule the world together.”

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5M9pgOELXW

The purple aura surrounding Shado became still for a moment.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkon29b1ZQ

Then—

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2j3JbvXkF

He stood up.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyOqiryk33

Slowly.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NRKQE3Yoy

But the instant he rose—

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVtkhFEHoX

everything changed.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8Uby1yvas

Darkness exploded in every direction.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WLgVCFMr1

The ground trembled violently.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeG1YXspkXO

Even the ice Rose created began cracking apart immediately.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdUQshYYAD

Her eyes widened in shock.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xxOoLzbVQ

And for the very first time…

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU1XQkf4NT

she felt true fear.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wkZwRvBDU

His aura alone…

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSNXNmd3DX

was enough to crush her.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBjP3qGIvb

Shado slowly extended his hand.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyAlIaZ5m2

And his massive sword appeared instantly.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgh2IzWRzM

That enormous black blade releasing a dense violet aura.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzuzXGyRm5

He looked at her without emotion.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16iWelOtGb

Then said:

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oLwwNGDTM

“Didn’t I say…”

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDsTDiHylC

He vanished from his place.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2D0tizTzc

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

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdA8c3WIoB

And in a single instant—

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFO7W0oZHRx

he appeared directly behind her.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdYMVHOtSq

Rose’s eyes widened.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCCarLCOQc

But she could not even fully turn around.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvarvoQVkI

One strike.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOt3Ut713OL

Only one.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YeUKOPFpl

The black sword passed through her body with horrifying ease.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHLoG5hIh0

Silence.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpl2poKpdZ

Then—

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeb2MhcgFcE

Rose’s body split into two halves.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTyoxbTEPi

All the ice shattered apart.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0EsHo9I3V

And darkness swallowed the entire world completely.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gNtIfaO2w

Back in the real world—

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44M7tAygml

Khaled suddenly opened his eyes.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYnvq0wU4s

But he was no longer the same.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8zTZkXkA6

Darkness moved violently around his body.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jeMJXr6Qq

As if it had completely lost control.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0tWOI58ev

And his eyes…

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqz3WPeQHn

turned entirely violet for a few brief moments.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQPbcVh2zR

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

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGFmzL1YeJ

Even Saif regained consciousness immediately.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGdoPN4yGf

“Khaled…?”

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0Nf47EL1v

But Khaled did not respond.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDgKeIwaL7

The darkness suddenly exploded outward around him.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1DO25wpDq

It swallowed the trees.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWedgIpoHIx

The ground.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllorZZ0rjS

Even Rose’s dead body.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qM5AxGGKt

Then—

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6AvkNLPnd

everything fell silent.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7jiAAbRfw

The darkness slowly began fading away.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8w4CGviYN

And Khaled appeared standing there with difficulty.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVQDd0UAPp

Breathing heavily.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73B6FRLr3c

Then he slowly looked around him.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdfudyc1gp

He found Abdulrahman and Saif unconscious beside him.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UdnU7riax

As for himself…

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkjVM3ZKzk

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

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPfzwTPtuS

Then—

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXtKIYI1KP

he fell onto his knees.
