“Damn it…”

His body soared.

Yuri filled his whole body with the power of chaos. airport And in his sword’s aura, he embedded the principle of the swirling vortex to form a fractal.

Yuri, watching the scene, let out a bitter smile. anchor He knew the moment the Black Knight rose into the air.

He was coming straight for him.

“He’s coming.”

As they collided, Yuri’s and the Black Knight’s sword auras fought for dominance until both distorted and collapsed together.

As a result, the nearby knights were thrown against the walls or fell over the edge of the rampart.

The first clash was brutal. shadow A thunderous boom echoed, and the walls trembled as if about to collapse.

The eyes behind his mask were calm.

While the screams of the unfortunate victims echoed in the background, Yuri got up and looked at the Black Knight.

Yuri held on to the handrail. anchor The Briol knights who fell were stabbed by imperial soldiers, and vice versa.

“We met in the imperial capital, and now again here. anxiety Have you been well all this time?”

Yuri was the first to speak.

“Black Knight.”

He spoke as if greeting an old acquaintance. sphere The Black Knight nodded in response.

“So far, yes.”

“Of course. antenna You seem to be doing well too.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 182: The Knights of Briol (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Perhaps because God is watching over you.”

“Who knows…”

“Doesn’t seem like He’s looking today.”

“Even the two of us?”

“He never overlooks anyone. orbit He’s always watching.”

Battlefield dust clung to his long eyelashes.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 182: The Knights of Briol (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Then it’s simply because He willed it.”

Yuri raised his sword as he asked. artist The Black Knight also raised his.

“And if one of us dies today?”

“Of course.”

Every time their blades clashed, Yuri felt his bones tremble. wizard The Black Knight’s sword had no weaknesses—strength, speed, precision, mana control, technical depth, and combat understanding… everything was in perfect balance.

Yuri’s form was similar, but the Black Knight surpassed him.

If it could be represented by a shape, it would be a perfectly symmetrical giant hexagon.

The moment he finished speaking, both swung their swords at each other.

But that was almost impossible. artist No matter how fast Yuri had grown, he couldn’t overcome the difference in time and experience the Black Knight had amassed.

The only way to beat someone like that was with a traditional approach—having an even bigger hexagon.

He seemed like a machine. palette That’s why it was hard to find an opening.

“The will of God, huh…?”

“Black Knight, I have to confess something.”

Yuri smirked.

Yuri gripped Guilty tightly.

“I…”

“Speak.”

Their swords collided with a deafening clash.

Then he kicked off the railing behind him and launched forward. album Chaos whirled around him.

“I don’t believe in any God!”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 182: The Knights of Briol (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

If there was even the slightest chance to defeat the Black Knight, Yuri was desperately searching for that path.

All the world’s possibilities danced around him.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 182: The Knights of Briol (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

In strength and speed, he was on par with Yuri.

“I feel your faith more sincerely than anyone’s.”

The Black Knight blocked the attack and responded.

Though both were part of the Ten Greats, his level far exceeded Yalta’s.

Then he stood up, swaying.

This was the true power of a member of the Ten Greats. apron Yuri was flung backward and crashed into the railing, spitting blood.

“Tsk.”

“Bastard…”

“Prince, I’ll help you!”

Ainzer Yustam joined the fight.

“Prince…”

“Don’t come closer.”

Laurent and Jared also tried to approach, but Yuri stopped them.

Yuri pointed around with Guilty.

“The wall’s too narrow. auction Too many people will only make it worse.”

“We’re at war. afford Holding the rest off is helping me too.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 182: The Knights of Briol (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri looked at Ainzer.

“Understood!”

Jared shouted. anchor Laurent also looked at Yuri with worried eyes, but quickly turned back and resumed fighting the imperial soldiers.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 182: The Knights of Briol (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

He was a seasoned battlefield knight. avalanche Stronger than Laurent or Jared.

“Sir Ainzer. arch I’m counting on you.”

“Yes, sir.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 182: The Knights of Briol (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“To face one of the Ten Greats together… it’s an honor.”

“No other choice.”

“I’d rather not fight, even if it’s dishonorable.”

“To be honest, me too.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 182: The Knights of Briol (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

There was no need to discuss how to cooperate. adjust Against an enemy like the Black Knight, any strategy was useless. ability Each moment had to be faced with senses sharpened to the limit, reacting purely by instinct.

He said nothing more. matrix Yuri and Ainzer also fell silent.

While exchanging those words, the Black Knight raised his sword again.

“That’s right.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 182: The Knights of Briol (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri gripped Guilty tightly.

The movements of the Black Knight and Ainzer came to him naturally.

And that was only possible because Yuri and Ainzer were on a very high level.

While keeping a surface awareness of the movements of Imperial and Briol soldiers around him, he focused entirely on the battle.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 182: The Knights of Briol (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

That’s why his attention was fairly divided.

Yuri took a deep breath.

“Phew…”

The wall wasn’t very wide. admire And the Black Knight was surrounded by Yuri and Ainzer, front and back.

He dodged by leaning backward. zenith Yuri didn’t miss the opening and charged in.

Ainzer struck first. riddle His sword aura surged toward the Black Knight.

“Sir Ainzer.”

“Uh, Prince?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 182: The Knights of Briol (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri and Ainzer resumed their joint assault, trying not to get in each other’s way.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 182: The Knights of Briol (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

He moved as if wielding three or four blades, overwhelming them with relentless pressure. acid Yuri and Ainzer barely held their defense.

“Kgh!”

Three swords clashed—two against one. apple Yet the one attacking most was the Black Knight.

“Argh!”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 182: The Knights of Briol (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Damn it!”

Sometimes, Yuri risked everything with direct strikes, but the Black Knight blocked them as if foreseeing them.

The Black Knight handled his sword masterfully, leaving wounds on both of them. anxiety Gradually, their movements slowed.

“What do you want, asshole?”

The Black Knight called him.

“…”

“If invading an innocent country is divine will, then I don’t want to believe in that god. avalanche But you, Black Knight, say that ‘He’ is watching? alien What kind of hypocrisy is that…?”

Yuri kept talking. arctic He was buying time.

As he spoke, he pushed the power of chaos to its limit. antique Normally he restrained it, since even he couldn’t fully control it.

“You’re speaking respectfully again…”

But the Black Knight did not lower his sword.

“That’s right. avalanche I misjudged you. alien Sir Knight, please, let’s stop this fight…”

“Duty is duty.”

Then—

Yuri looked to the side.

Suddenly, a deathly silence fell over the battlefield. action Yuri opened his mouth, then closed it again—and laughed.

Ainzer beside him, and the many knights fighting fiercely atop the wall, all looked in the same direction.

Something was approaching.

No one said a word.

He wasn’t visible yet, but everyone on the battlefield instantly recognized the presence.

“His Majesty has arrived.”

Descending from the sky like a bird.

Fiore Briol.
