Journey in Search of Power

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

Deep within the Ice Kingdom...

Silence ruled.

A silence that did not last long.

CRAAASH!

The frozen throne shattered beneath the fury of the Ice King.

Frost spread across the floor as his icy aura exploded outward.

"How... did Rose die?"

His voice was calm.

Yet every soldier present lowered their head in fear.

One trembling servant stepped forward.

"My lord... we do not know exactly what happened."

"But Rose has completely disappeared."

Silence.

Then the Ice King's eyes narrowed.

"She failed..."

His fist clenched.

The air itself froze.

"Even a user of the Second Seal failed."

Then he slowly raised his head.

"Radis."

From the shadows...

A tall warrior emerged.

Silver hair.

Black armor.

Cold eyes devoid of emotion.

He knelt before the king.

"Your orders, my lord."

A dark smile appeared on the Ice King's face.

"Go."

"Show me why you are known as the strongest user of the Third Seal."

His gaze became colder.

"And bring me the heads of those two boys."

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

Meanwhile...

Khaled and Abdulrahman stood before the great volcano of the Shadow Village.

Smoke rose endlessly into the sky.

The heat distorted the air itself.

Abdulrahman looked toward the summit.

Then tightened his grip on his grandfather's book.

"It has to be here."

Khaled nodded.

"Then let's find it."

They searched the volcanic region for hours.

But found nothing.

Finally Abdulrahman stopped.

"There's nothing here."

Silence followed.

Then Khaled noticed enormous footprints near the mountain.

He crouched down.

Examining them carefully.

"...Someone took it."

Abdulrahman's eyes widened.

"What?"

Khaled pointed toward the tracks.

"Look."

They followed them.

Until they reached the entrance of a massive cave.

Darkness covered everything inside.

The smell of blood drifted outward.

Khaled frowned.

"...Ghouls."

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

Two ghoul guards stood at the entrance.

Massive bodies.

Sharp fangs.

Khaled hid behind a nearby rock.

A slight smile appeared on his face.

"Let me try something."

Abdulrahman looked confused.

Then—

Khaled vanished.

Abdulrahman's eyes widened.

"What?!"

Khaled had merged with the shadow of the rock.

Then silently moved into the shadow of one of the guards.

As if he were part of the darkness itself.

He listened to their conversation.

Minutes later, he returned.

"I found it."

"They took your grandfather's chest deeper inside."

Abdulrahman smiled.

"Then let's get it back."

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

The moment the guards left their positions—

Khaled moved.

A black flash cut through the darkness.

One ghoul fell instantly.

At the same moment—

A blast of fire erupted from Abdulrahman's hand.

The second guard collapsed.

Then they entered the cave.

And battle began.

Orcs.

Ghouls.

Monsters from every direction.

But this time...

Both of them were far stronger.

Khaled's sword looked different.

Larger.

Darker.

And in the middle of the blade was a strange empty slot.

As if something important was missing.

But there was no time to think about it.

Khaled dashed through the battlefield.

The shadows moved behind him like living spirits.

Meanwhile Abdulrahman concentrated fire into his arm.

Transforming it into a blazing flaming blade.

One swing.

An orc was cut in half.

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

Suddenly—

The entire cave trembled.

A deafening roar echoed through the tunnels.

Everyone froze.

Then he appeared.

The Orc Chief.

Over three meters tall.

Muscles like stone.

He lifted his gigantic axe.

Then roared.

"You will die here!"

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

Khaled attacked first.

One strike.

Then another.

But his sword barely scratched the monster's skin.

Khaled gritted his teeth.

"He's too tough."

The chief laughed.

Then smashed the ground.

The shockwave threw Khaled backward.

Khaled dodged.

Counterattacked.

Retreated.

Struck again.

Nothing worked.

Soon...

Several orcs surrounded him.

Abdulrahman watched.

Then smiled.

"I think it's my turn."

He brought both hands together.

Slowly separating them.

And suddenly—

A massive sphere of fire formed between his palms.

Larger than anything he had ever created before.

The entire cave glowed orange.

The orcs stared in horror.

Then—

BOOOOOM!!!

The fireball exploded across the battlefield.

Flames consumed dozens of ghouls instantly.

But...

The Orc Chief emerged from the smoke.

Wounded.

Yet alive.

Then his body began to expand.

His fangs grew longer.

His eyes turned blood red.

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

"I'LL TEAR YOU APART!"

He charged forward.

Faster.

Stronger.

More violent than before.

Even Khaled and Abdulrahman struggled to keep up.

Then—

Abdulrahman spotted something behind him.

The chest.

His grandfather's chest.

He rushed toward it.

Opened it.

And froze.

Inside...

Lay a magnificent sword.

Silver and black.

Marked with the symbol of a blue flame.

He reached for it.

The moment his hand touched the hilt—

Power exploded throughout his body.

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

The mark on his neck ignited.

But it was no longer red.

It turned blue.

Pure blue.

Energy surged through his veins like a raging volcano.

His aura changed completely.

Stronger.

Hotter.

Far more powerful.

Even Khaled felt the difference.

"Abdulrahman...?"

Abdulrahman slowly raised the sword.

His eyes glowed blue.

Then gathered immense power.

A gigantic blue fireball formed before him.

Far hotter than ordinary flames.

He launched it directly at the Orc Chief.

The chief's eyes widened.

At the very last second—

He dodged.

But that was exactly what Khaled wanted.

The moment the chief moved—

Khaled emerged from the monster's own shadow.

"Surprise."

A black flash.

And the Orc Chief's head fell to the ground.

Silence filled the cave.

Then the giant body collapsed.

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

Minutes later...

The cave began collapsing.

The two escaped.

But before leaving—

Khaled suddenly remembered something.

"The ring."

Abdulrahman raised an eyebrow.

"What ring?"

"The Sage said there's a ring hidden beneath the volcano."

Both of them looked toward the lava.

Khaled sighed.

"Small problem..."

"How exactly do we get down there?"

Abdulrahman smiled confidently.

"Leave that to me."

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

He closed his eyes.

Focused completely.

Then—

Blue flames erupted around him.

His entire body transformed.

Not into ordinary fire.

But into living blue fire.

A Blue Flame Human.

Khaled stared in shock.

The power.

The aura.

The sheer magical energy.

Abdulrahman's power had become almost twice as great as Khaled's.

Then he jumped into the lava.

And disappeared.

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

Minutes later...

He emerged holding a strange black ring.

He handed it to Khaled.

Khaled stared at it.

Then placed it on his finger.

Immediately—

Shadow energy exploded around him.

Darkness spiraled violently across the ground.

The shadows trembled.

Moved.

Obeyed.

Khaled opened his eyes.

And felt something new.

Something stronger.

He smiled.

"Now I understand..."

He looked toward his shadow.

Then extended his hand.

The shadow moved exactly as he wished.

A new ability had awakened.

Shadow Domination.

The power to control people through their own shadows.

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

As the two heroes began their journey back...

The wind suddenly stopped.

Both of them froze.

A massive presence stood before them.

A silver-haired knight.

Mounted upon a heavily armored warhorse.

Behind him fluttered the banner of the Ice Kingdom.

His expression was cold.

Unmoving.

Like death itself.

Behind him...

An enormous army stretched across the horizon.

Thousands of soldiers.

Ice beasts.

Frozen cavalry.

And at their center—

The knight slowly raised his head.

His eyes locked onto Khaled and Abdulrahman.

"At last..."

A faint smile appeared on his face.

"Found you."

Khaled tightened his grip on his sword.

Abdulrahman's blue flames flickered around him.

The atmosphere became suffocating.

Because standing before them was no ordinary enemy.

It was...

Radis.

The strongest user of the Third Seal.

And the right hand of the Ice King himself.
