Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince

From childhood, he had fought to the death in tribal wars. armor As the scars on his body multiplied, so did his strength.

Once his body was entirely marked by battle, he had no rivals.

At first glance, Yalta’s swordplay seemed crude and unrefined, but in truth, it followed its own set of rules—honed through countless real battles.

His fame spread across the continent, and the emperor, impressed, offered him wealth in exchange for loyalty. apron Yalta gladly accepted and joined the Empire to venture into the wider world.

Yalta had confidence.

Among the barbarian tribes of the frontier regions, the name Yalta was synonymous with invincibility.

The enemy he now faced was no different from any typical knight of the continent.

All those sword techniques taught in the Empire were false.

No one had fought more fiercely than he. arena A sword grows strong through deadly combat, not through lessons taught by others.

Yalta was not one to bother pulling up weeds. anchor To him, the knights of Joachim were like plants he could rip out at any time.

“Predictable. alien But at least it’ll be entertaining.”

He was bored from a lack of worthy opponents.

Yalta smirked.

But finally, a beast with fangs and claws had appeared.

“Haaah!”

Not a lifelong fighting beast like himself, but at least a well-trained hound.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“So Joachim also has dogs worth eating!”

And the one who stepped forward was Jose, disguised as Hopper.

Yalta roared and swung his sword. avalanche A fan‑shaped cutting wave blasted forward.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Jose scowled.

Jose was a dog lover with several hounds on his lands. altitude He didn’t care what they ate, but hearing such an insulting remark from an enemy he had to kill filled him with fury.

Jose responded, gripping his sword.

“What did you say?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Dogs are our friends!”

He had only spoken metaphorically—and he also loved dogs. galaxy For barbarian hunting tribes, dogs were as valuable as humans.

This time, it was Yalta who was taken aback.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“N-no—it wasn’t that!”

“I said you’re like a dog. arrow I meant I’d eat you!”

“Then what did you mean?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yalta wasn’t eloquent. antique Jose, even angrier, continued.

“Wait! airport But isn’t the cow our friend too?”

“So you meant it! aluminum Die, you ignorant bastard!”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I meant it that way too!”

“Who’s talking about eating a cow for real! aluminum It was a metaphor because you’re a brute!”

“What are you babbling, you ignorant barbarian?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yalta snapped.

“You! zenith Now you insult me for being a barbarian?”

When he first came to the Empire, he had been mocked as a barbarian—and he had smashed all their heads.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Discriminating between dogs and cows was one thing—but racial discrimination was far more serious.

If he wasn’t careful, Hopper—built as a just and brave warrior—could be seen as a racist.

This time, Jose was silent.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s not because you’re a barbarian, it’s just that you’re ignorant!”

He hurried to clarify.

Yalta cut him off.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Listen carefully. advance There is no such thing as absolute superiority of any culture. adopt Every culture develops in its own way based on natural, geographic, and climatic environments. attic None is inherently better than another. altitude Those who believe their culture is superior blind themselves—and that distorted thinking can lead to dangerous ideas like racial superiority. galaxy So, as long as you don’t violate universal human values, learn to respect other cultures instead of mocking them.”

Jose was stunned. sphere Yalta’s logical response felt like a blow to his own weak point.

“Ah…”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Hah, resorting to strength now that you’ve lost in logic?”

Yalta sneered.

“St-shut up already!”

Gathering his composure, Jose roared again, sword raised.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

But it was Graham who taught him if you kill all your critics, you’ll end up alone. sphere So Graham made him memorize a response for these situations.

“Who’s the ignorant one now?”

In the past, he killed everyone who looked down on him.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Grateful to Graham, Jose shouted.

“Who’re you calling barbarian now!?”

Jose was humiliated.

Jose’s face turned red. august The slime mask—so lifelike—reflected his flush in detail. legend Seeing that, Yalta laughed even louder.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

He lunged, searching for an opening in Yalta’s defense.

“Shut up, you bastard!”

Yalta’s sword style was savage—and thus unpredictable. academy But it also left openings.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Jose thought he’d gained the advantage.

Many saw him as a brute swordsman, but in truth, Jose was technically skilled.

Blood spurted from Yalta’s hand.

A violent downward slash—Jose deflected it, then aimed for Yalta’s wrist.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

He hadn’t sliced the wrist. atomic Yalta wrapped his hand in mana, catching Jose’s blade.

“Eh?”

But then something unbelievable happened.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“What are you doing?”

Though blood gushed, Yalta’s expression remained impassive.

“Ugh…”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yalta twisted his mouth into a crooked smile.

“You continentals, always relying on cheap tricks.”

Jose responded sharply.

Jose applied force—but the sword wouldn’t budge. canvas His hand trembled.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Bah, I don’t care anymore. matrix Continental scum.”

“Eh?”

Yalta paused, then kicked Jose in the stomach.

“‘Continentals’? auction That’s discriminatory. arrow Just like what you said earlier!”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Though powerful, grabbing the blade instead of the hilt was dangerous. auction Keeping hold while kicking could cost fingers.

Still, Jose wouldn’t drop his sword. album Instead, Yalta was the one who had to release it.

“Kugh!”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“In the end…there’s no point in arguing.”

Indeed, Yalta was one of the Ten Greats.

Jose stepped back, regaining balance.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Suddenly, Jose conjured the sea of Brusen and smiled faintly.

Yet not unbeatable. accent Yalta sensed that Jose was no easy foe—so he wiped the grin from his face and readied his sword.

Their mana techniques clashed at the meeting point—sparks flew.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Ten Greats, eh…”

“I’m no longer intimidated by the Ten Greats.”

A boy had once swung his sword daily by the sea, dreaming of one day joining the Ten Greats—and beyond, to become a supreme knight like Fiore Briol.

He had a long path ahead, but he sensed he had reached his first major milestone.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Since that day, Jose fully believed he had achieved a level comparable to the continent’s strongest. portal Now it was time to prove it with his sword.

Sharing their inner visions with that swordsman, they both saw a state of being they hadn’t even known existed.

As predicted, Yalta was strong—but he no longer inspired fear. acid Jose felt unstoppable confidence surge from his chest.

Before reaching Joachim, Jose had dueled the third prince of Briol on a coastal cliff—and there he achieved what he longed for meeting Yuri Briol, witnessing his genius, and unlocking new personal growth.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“What?”

“You don’t deserve the title of one of the Ten Greats.”

“Yalta.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“What did you say?”

“What?”

Jose took a deep breath, raised his sword vertically, and unleashed a blazing energy like a flame.

“You don’t have it.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Then he stomped hard.

Boom!

“The essence.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Next, as if aiming a cannon, he directed the tip of his sword directly at Yalta.

In that instant, Jose looked like a gigantic tree with roots deeply embedded in the earth.

From his feet, a network of mana spread in all directions. apple That network anchored his body to the ground.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was a blade impossible to block.

“Try blocking this.”

A ray of light shot in a straight line toward Yalta. canvas An extremely compressed mana arrow advanced straight toward a single point, obliterating everything it touched in its path.

From its blade, mana began to burn.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was too fast to dodge and too powerful to block.

He opened his eyes wide. apron It wasn’t an attack he could ignore.

Jose’s cutting energy pierced through space and concentrated directly on Yalta’s chest.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

And stood there, watching like nothing was happening.

Just as Jose’s attack was about to reach his chest.

He had to react somehow, but Yalta missed the moment.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yalta! artist Recover the judgment!”

Someone intervened.

Clang!

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Graham, who had deflected Jose’s attack, rubbed his elbow. timber The impact had been so strong that he probably wouldn’t be able to use it for a while.

“Why didn’t you do anything, Yalta?”

“That…”

“Sir Graham?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

In other words, he didn’t sense the danger. antenna That’s why he didn’t move.

Upon vaguely understanding the meaning of that.

Yalta fought by instinct. acquire But his instinct didn’t react to the attack he had just received.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

But his face was completely contorted with fury. autumn He was no longer holding back.

“I just let my guard down, Sir Graham.”

Yalta grew enraged.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

His aura had changed.

“I’m really going to kill you.”

He gripped his sword hilt tightly, puffed up his muscles, and the mana pulsed violently around him, kicking up dust.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Jose, watching him, stepped back with some disappointment. apple He hadn’t expected Graham to intervene.

“Of course. ability It couldn’t be that easy.”

“Retreat for now! riddle Come, Hopper!”

It seemed things would get a bit harder from now on. sphere That’s when the lord of Joachim shouted from behind.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

While Jose was facing off against Yalta, the rest of the army was also fighting intensely.

With Yalta, their main force, distracted by Jose, the Joachim troops had achieved some success.

The Joachim troops began to pull back.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Hopper! abandon We can fight again another time! atlas Strategically, we must retreat now!”

Jose nodded and gave Yalta a big grin.

“Understood.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“The continental guy is running away?”

“Hey! sphere See you, you savage bastard!”

“Running, you say… If your nanny hadn’t stepped in, you’d be on the ground with a hole in your chest right now.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yalta snapped. shadow It clearly hurt his pride to have been so close to death.

Jose backed away while talking to the lord of Joachim and threw one last provocation.

“Shut up!”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Son of a bitchhhh!”

With that, he turned and began retreating without looking back, along with the Joachim troops.

“Next time we fight, bring your nanny too! artist I could tell you pissed yourself, so you’ll need someone to clean you up!”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yalta screamed with veins bulging from his neck, about to charge after him. audit But Graham stood in his way.

He growled and brought his face close to Graham’s. ability However, Graham remained unfazed.

With a calm expression, he placed a hand on Yalta’s chest and shook his head.

“Don’t stop me!”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yalta yelled like an enraged child. admire Normally, he followed Graham, but when he got this mad, he wouldn’t listen to anyone.

Graham spoke quietly.

“I’ll decide whether to fight or not!”

“You’re agitated. altitude You mustn’t fight like this.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yalta. acid Breathe deeply.”

He repeated the process a few times and then, still hot on the forehead, rubbed it with his palm.

After snorting for a while, Yalta pursed his lips, then exhaled long and hard.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Don’t be swayed by your emotions.”

“Sorry. shadow I lost my temper, Sir Graham.”

“Yes, yes… but even so…”

Yalta growled in frustration.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Ugh…”

He respected Graham, but every time he said such old-fashioned things, he couldn’t help feeling annoyed.

“There’s no need to spill more unnecessary blood. armor There could be a trap in enemy territory.”

“Why don’t we pursue them if they’re fleeing?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Thank you for understanding.”

“Fine. legend If you say so, Sir Graham, it must be the right decision.”

“It’s nothing.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“That bastard’s name is Hopper?”

“By the way, did he say his name was Hopper…?”

“He’s no ordinary guy. amber Not much weaker than me. apple Next time, I’ll tear off his head and put it in a display case.”

Yalta looked in the direction his opponent had gone.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

For Yalta to acknowledge someone like that, Hopper must have skills close to the Ten Greats.

The three brothers from the sweet potato field who beat their soldiers, that Hopper who faced Yalta.

“Someone like that was hiding in Joachim…?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“We don’t know what those mountain hicks are plotting. harbor Let’s advance by burning the city.”

Who would’ve imagined that Joachim was hiding so much talent? silence In chaotic times, the heroes who lived in anonymity came to light.

Obstacles not in the plans were appearing.

Yalta still hadn’t fully calmed his rage.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I don’t intend to punish innocents for the sins of others. atlas We’ll capture the king of Joachim and make him pay.”

“They tried to poison the emperor! anxiety There’s no reason to show mercy to a country like this. airport That’s how you scare them into surrendering.”

“No. shadow We won’t.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Graham was resolute.

If not for him, the imperial army’s advance would’ve left mountains of corpses.

He had accepted the position of commander with the intent of minimizing casualties. legend And indeed, Graham maintained strict control of the army to prevent civilian losses.

“Ugh…”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 150: Chaotic Times (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yalta looked at him with an ambiguous expression.
