Chapter 220, A Private Meeting.
The front door creaked open well past midnight, revealing a disheveled Hazim leaning against the frame. He moved inside with a pronounced limp, one hand clamped tightly over his shoulder in a futile attempt to contain a throbbing pain.A lamp flicked on in the living room, illuminating his younger brother, Laith, who was stretched out on the couch. A smirk played on Laith's lips as he took in Hazim's battered state."Look who finally came back," Laith said, his voice dripping with sarcastic concern. "Why are you home so early, oh mighty one? Do you have any idea what time it is?"Hazim shot him a withering glare, his patience wore thinner than his luck that night. "Enough of your nonsense, Laith," he grunted, shuffling further into the room. "I'm your older brother, not the other way around. And for the thousandth time, don't ask me about the missions."He tried to walk past, but a sharp wince forced him to stop, his grip on his shoulder tightening. Laith's smirk instantly vanished. H
Chapter 219, Engagement Dinner.
Malik was sitting in the teachers' lounge at school, nursing a cup of coffee while stacks of ungraded papers and untouched files lay abandoned beside him. His colleagues glanced his way with surprise and concern; it was unlike him to neglect his duties and let his work pile up so unusually. He looked exhausted, his eyes heavy and unfocused, because he had spent the entire previous night searching for a ghoul at a rubber factory. Then, at six that morning, every news channel had begun reporting the army’s success in repelling a serious ghoul attack in the industrial area—how they had eliminated an entire ghoul cell in record time while the knights were notably absent and arrived too late to help.But Malik had been there alone. He had combed the entire area himself and found nothing—no army, no ghouls, no signs of battle. Now he sat silently, turning the events over in his mind. He wondered whether it had all been another staged performance, a show put on in some other location or eve
Chapter 218, The Warning.
Hazim and Jamil stood their ground. Before they could even form a new plan, the bull charged at them. But this time, Hazim left his sword sheathed, shocking Jamil. Jamil's legs moved involuntarily as he tried to block the blow for Hazim, but he was stunned to see Hazim step forward instead, running toward the ghoul and grabbing its horns with his bare hands.Everyone watching was shocked—even the ghoul was stunned that Hazim had managed to stop it with his hands alone. The ghoul tried to push Hazim back, straining with all its might, and began forcing him backward. The crowd watched and cheered with excitement. Jamil decided to help Hazim and stepped forward, but Hazim told him to stay back.Hazim was pushed closer and closer to the wall, and everyone expected him to be crushed. But instead, Hazim used the wall to launch himself upward, landing on the bull's back. The bull bucked and thrashed, trying to throw Hazim off. Then came the decisive blow: Hazim stabbed the ghoul in the back
Chapter 217, The Two Bulls Vs The Flames Duo.
The two ghouls they were facing transformed into their true forms, turning into something resembling giant bulls, and they also had axes. Hazim took a deep breath and turned to Jamil."We need to make a plan. Now," Hazim said urgently.Jamil nodded quickly. "Do whatever you want. I'm with you. I agree even before hearing it. The most important thing is that we stay alive."Hazim studied his partner's face. "Why are you being so negative and scared today?""No, sorry," Jamil replied, shaking his head. "I really don't know what's wrong with me. I don't know why I'm scared in this 'pleasant' situation we're in. Forgive me, bro, I overdid it."Hazim turned to him fully. "Enough sarcasm. For real. Let's make a plan."Jamil met his gaze steadily. "Like I told you, do whatever you want, and I'll back you up. I'll try to mimic your fighting style and synchronize with you. That's my style - adapting and coexisting with the situation."The confrontation began. As soon as Labeeb announced the st
Chapter 216, The Story Of The Arena.
Hazim and Jamil came to their senses and realized the magnitude of the trouble they had gotten themselves into. The roar of the unnatural crowd made it hard to think. Hazim gripped Jamil's arm, pulling him close so he could be heard over the din."We can't fight our way out of this," Hazim said, his voice low and urgent. "Look at them. There are hundreds. Recklessness will get us killed."Jamil's eyes darted across the sea of strange, cheering faces. "So what do we do? Surrender?""No," Hazim countered, his gaze fixed on Labeeb, who was basking in the adoration of the crowd. "We use diplomacy. We talk. The only way we walk out of here is if we keep our cool and try to reason with that sinister being who lured us here."Before Jamil could protest further, Hazim took the first step. He moved to the top of the stone stairs leading down into the arena sand and, forcing a calm he didn't feel, raised his hands in a tentative greeting to the roaring crowds.Jamil watched, his heart hammering
Chapter 215, The Legend Of The Roman Amphitheater .
Jamil waited for Hazim on the outskirts of the city. The moment Hazim arrived, the two set off toward the location Jameel suspected hid a ghoul—a particularly dangerous one. As they walked, Jameel turned to Hazim, his voice low. "I’m sorry for calling you," Jamil said. "But you’re the only one I can rely on." He trusted all his men, but beneath his hardened exterior, his heart had grown tender. He feared for them—or perhaps pitied them, since most of his soldiers were so young. Hazim shook his head. "We were young too when we started. Younger than them. And we can’t stop them from doing their duty." Jamil nodded. "You’re right. I know I have to give them a chance, trust them—even encourage them. But sometimes…" His voice faltered. "Sometimes my heart weakens, especially when I remember those we’ve lost." Hazim’s gaze darkened. "I remember them every day. I pray for them. And I stay focused on our mission so their sacrifices won’t be wasted." He exhaled. "‘Indeed, we belong t
