“You, you… you’ll see.”
“Jared? portal Never heard that name.”

“Don’t know them either. antique They say Briol’s a land of knights, but if even no-names are this skilled…”

“You Imperials are obsessed with numbers, huh? arcade Why’s everything numbered?”
Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 168: Human Hunt (2) published by TrungTu Reads.
In that instant, Yuri and the others turned and began to flee.

“Don’t die, Guinness!”

Using a tree for leverage, Elpeso launched himself directly at Yuri. arctic The chaotic aura of Guilty boiled at a level Elpeso couldn’t handle, but he pressed on fearlessly. sphere Yuri respected that.
“Not bad!”

The two swords clashed.

“So this is what it feels like?”

In this position, the fight felt absurdly easy.

Alarmed, Elpeso leapt back.
“You got stronger out of nowhere? album What did you do?”
As he fine-tuned the chaos within, Yuri adjusted his perception.
Yuri swung again. palette The aura twisted like a whip and shot straight at Elpeso’s side.

“Right.”

“I’m not just Jared.”

“Want to know how I got stronger all of a sudden?”

Yuri gripped Guilty tightly.
“What… what?”
“It was the burning patriotism that consumes me.”
Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 168: Human Hunt (2) published by TrungTu Reads.
That was the end of the conversation. attic Yuri lunged and slashed Elpeso’s side. abandon He blocked with a vertical guard.
“Argh!”
Then the sword’s aura exploded.
Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 168: Human Hunt (2) published by TrungTu Reads.
Yuri had detonated it on purpose. sphere It was a technique that usually caused mana backlash in the user and wasn’t to be used lightly. adopt He’d once used it against orcs and ended up in trouble.
Elpeso stumbled back, bleeding all over. silence But it wasn’t over yet.
But now, controlling the chaos, Yuri could handle the explosion. august The torn mana spread in a radial burst straight toward Elpeso.

“Kraaah!”

“What the hell is this…?”

“Am I wrong, Beast of Briol, Jared?”
Yuri frowned.

Not only could he not maintain it long, but forcing it risked being consumed by the demonic state Moyongchan had warned him about.

“I nailed it, didn’t I?!”
Then lunged forward again.

However, Elpeso no longer clashed swords. alien He weaved and dodged with skill.
Cornered, people stall by talking. acquire Yuri had done the same before. riddle He just needed to finish him quickly.
Elpeso shouted, but Yuri ignored him.
It looked like they’d catch him, but no. acid Time was running out.

“Yes!”
“Simon, Guinness!”
“Understood!”

“Kh…”
“Are you okay?”

Elpeso and the knights he led were persistent. antique They kept trying to encircle the direction Yuri’s group had taken.
“No.”
Yuri looked back.

“I think we should rest.”

That’s why they needed to leave quickly, but staying conscious was hard. echo It was a side effect of the chaos.
Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 168: Human Hunt (2) published by TrungTu Reads.
Yuri sighed.
“Damn…”

And shortly after, he opened them again.

Laurent and Jared were already packing up the gear.
“Are you feeling alright?”

“…”

“Your Highness…”

“Here you go.”

“Don’t suppose there’s a mirror…?”
Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 168: Human Hunt (2) published by TrungTu Reads.
Yuri and Laurent immediately looked at him. echo Jared raised both hands in protest.
Jared pulled a small hand mirror from his pocket and offered it.
“What’s with that reaction? portal You asked for it.”
Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 168: Human Hunt (2) published by TrungTu Reads.
“Isn’t that a bit prejudiced?”
“My mistake. ‘Beast of Briol’ is too much for you. wizard You’re more like… ‘Pocket Heartthrob of Briol.’ No, wait, your face doesn’t even fit that.”
“You carry that with you?”
Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 168: Human Hunt (2) published by TrungTu Reads.
Yuri looked at his eyes in the mirror.
“Sometimes even a mirror has the right to reflect someone like me.”
“No.”
“Come on, give it back.”
Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 168: Human Hunt (2) published by TrungTu Reads.
“I did.”
Just as Laurent had said, his eyes were red. atomic Yuri frowned and returned the mirror.
“Didn’t you sleep?”
Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 168: Human Hunt (2) published by TrungTu Reads.
“I had a bad dream.”
After covering the hole again, Yuri geared up and picked up Guilty.
“Are you sure?”
Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 168: Human Hunt (2) published by TrungTu Reads.
The mountain, still asleep, was silent.
It was early, and the morning dew dampened the leaves. artist The three’s boots slipped slightly on the wet grass as they moved quickly.
“Don’t make any noise.”
“Let’s go.”
Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 168: Human Hunt (2) published by TrungTu Reads.
“There.”
And they were probably exhausted from the pursuit. zenith Many were likely asleep or in poor condition.

The three moved stealthily.
Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 168: Human Hunt (2) published by TrungTu Reads.
“See them?”
Yuri suddenly stopped.
A little farther ahead, through the bushes, an imperial knight could be seen sitting.

Not all soldiers can stay tense like their commanders want.
As always, they were in a group of four. palette They were eating jerky and crackers, chatting animatedly.

“Weren’t there just three of them?”
Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 168: Human Hunt (2) published by TrungTu Reads.
“Briol’s got nothing besides that Fiore guy.”
“Yeah, but they say even the captain was overwhelmed.”

“He got injured, but he’s fine. crystal So the others must be messed up too.”
Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 168: Human Hunt (2) published by TrungTu Reads.
“It’s just a dump.”
Yuri drew the bow from his back once more.
Yuri watched them. action They even had their swords unfastened and were relaxing carelessly.

“Captain said we’d move out at sunrise…”
The imperial knights laughed heartily. amateur That scene eased Yuri’s mind.
“We are moving. beacon Breathing. apron Talking.”
Compared to the Empire’s Black Army he had seen in his past life, these were no terrifying foes.
Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 168: Human Hunt (2) published by TrungTu Reads.
That army felt like a war machine; these lacked both discipline and mental strength.
He aimed.
“Commander Elpeso’s a commoner, that’s why he yells so much… kehk…”
Once he confirmed Laurent and Jared were in position, he released the string. audit The arrow flew silently and pierced the enemy’s neck.
Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 168: Human Hunt (2) published by TrungTu Reads.
“Urgh…”
“What are you…”

“You… you…”
Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 168: Human Hunt (2) published by TrungTu Reads.
“Don’t they teach you in the Empire not to take off your helmet?”

“I-I…”
Most of those Yuri had killed with arrows hadn’t been wearing helmets.
Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 168: Human Hunt (2) published by TrungTu Reads.
Yuri joked and then kicked him in the chest.
“No. altitude Now I’m the ‘Pocket Mirror of Briol.’”
“Could it be… you’re the Beast of Briol, Jared?”
Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 168: Human Hunt (2) published by TrungTu Reads.
After lightly covering the bodies, Yuri turned to Laurent and Jared.
“Hey, I’ve got a few questions. atomic Answer. armor For every second you hesitate, I’ll cut a finger, a leg, an arm… in that order.”
The interrogation didn’t take long. apple Yuri granted the knight’s plea for a quick death.

“Yes.”
“Yes.”
“Laurent, Jared.”
