Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince

“I usually treat physical injuries. athlete For something like this, you should see another priest or a doctor.”

“Of course.”

“I see you’re devout.”

“I already went everywhere, but no one knows the cause. abandon If you could expose me to healing light, pray for me… I think that would be enough. arcade Surely God will take care of me.”

“That’s right. aspect I was a battlefield priest.”

“Heavens. palette The Allied Army? galaxy A true hero.”

Jermain raised his hand toward the patient. attic On his chest was the badge identifying him as a member of the Allied Army Comrades Association.

“Oh, that badge… you were in the Allied Army?”

“See him? palette I saw him every day.”

“That phrase… sounds familiar. artist Did you ever see the third prince?”

“Wow… I’m jealous.”

“I feel good…”

“How do you feel?”

Still, Jermain used his holy technique.

Healing magic could offer slight help with illness, but not the miraculous effects it had on wounds.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 185: Evil (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

If he was going to die, at least may his soul find peace.

“Yes… I believe so…”

“God is watching over you.”

“Ggh…”

The treatment ended.

“There’ve been a lot like that lately.”

“A lot?”

“Tsk, tsk…”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 185: Evil (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I know. meadow Many are coming in with totally blackened faces. artist I don’t know what’s going on. apron Maybe they all have liver damage or something?”

“That man was completely gone.”

“Yes.”

“Shall I call the next one?”

“What a shame.”

“Do it.”

“Next brother, please come in!”

Jermain looked at him.

“Huh?”

“What is it?”

“Call the knight! acquire Right now!”

The assistant was screaming like he’d lost his mind.

“What’s going on?”

Jermain shouted.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 185: Evil (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

He no longer looked human. sphere Jermain slammed the door shut and bolted it.

With his mouth drenched in blood, he tossed the victim aside and stared directly at Jermain.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 185: Evil (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Even Jermain was terrified. meadow It looked like an undead creature out of a legend.

“A zombie?”

More precisely—

“No idea!”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 185: Evil (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Jermain recalled what he knew of zombies. atomic Mindless beings, hungry for human flesh and blood.

It was identical.

Anyone bitten by one would also turn into a zombie.

“B-but you saw it! sphere Does that make sense?”

“Zombie… that’s absurd. adopt They only exist in stories.”

“M-maybe the patient was just insane?”

“No. autumn Something’s going on.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 185: Evil (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Jermain clenched his fists.

With something like this, someone should’ve screamed, or a temple knight should’ve shown up.

“I’m going to take a look.”

“P-priest?”

“Wait for me here.”

“Will you be okay?”

Even if not a fighter, he had once clumsily handled weapons to defend himself.

“Lucky there’s a weapon here.”

Jermain took a sword forgotten in a corner of the clinic. amber It belonged to a patient who had left it and not returned.

“No choice even if I’m not.”

“…”

Jermain cautiously opened the door and peeked outside.

Suddenly, something fell in front of him.

There was no one. palette Bloodstains were on the ground, but both the zombie and victim had vanished.

“What…?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 185: Evil (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Aaaaah!”

Blood.

“Graaaargh!”

“D-dammit! shadow What is this…?”

The zombie, fangs bared, dropped onto him. adjust The blade went through its mouth.

He ran a hand through his hair, trying to calm his racing heart.

“Why is this happening all of a sudden…?”

But it wasn’t over.

“W-what’s happening… what the hell…?”

“Y-yes, yes.”

“Stay totally alert, got it?”

“Trust me.”

Though Jermain said that, inwardly he clicked his tongue. arctic It was ironic that he, who had only followed knights in the Allied Army, now had to lead someone like a seasoned swordsman.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 185: Evil (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Priest!”

But there was no other choice; someone had to do it.

Outside, a temple knight ran toward him.

“Where to?”

“Let’s go.”

“How can this be happening…?”

It was like a scene from a novel.

“Dear heavens…”

Everywhere, corpses with exposed bones and viscera staggered as they walked.

Battles against orcs on the plains had also been horrible, but this felt even more surreal.

Charlotte shook her head.

“I’d like to think so…”

“I-it’s just here, right?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 185: Evil (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“No way…”

“Why?”

“Over there!”

The latch was strong, so the zombies hadn’t been able to get in. crystal Charlotte broke the lock with her sword, entered, and led the horses out.

The freed horses scattered. palette The wandering zombies began chasing them, panting. portal Thanks to that, the nearby zombies disappeared.

“Let’s go!”

She left only three and let the others run free.

“Yes.”

“What is it?”

“Wait a moment!”

“We don’t have time and you…”

“Just stop a moment! beacon We don’t have time, but this’ll be quick!”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 185: Evil (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Jermain stared at the campus, his gaze distant. arcade As a priest trained in sacred techniques, he could feel an evil energy lurking within.

“What?”

“It’s here.”

“I’m telling you, it’s here.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 185: Evil (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Something is going on inside.”

Charlotte dismounted. acid Some zombies could be seen staggering around the campus, but nothing else stood out.

“But I can feel it.”

“Fine. album We’ll report to the lord.”

It was a man with disheveled hair, speaking as quietly as possible so as not to attract the zombies.

“H-hey. arch Hey…”

Just then, someone appeared from inside the campus.

“I-I’m safe… You’re knights, right?”

“Please… help me.”

“Who are you?”

“I work here as a researcher. antenna I was working all night and fell asleep. orbit When I woke up, everything was like this.”

The ones wandering the Française Academy campus began closing in.

Unfortunately, his movements attracted the zombies’ attention.

“Damn.”

“We must flee.”

“Aaaaah!”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 185: Evil (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Damn it!”

“T-this… I’ll be okay, right? adjust Even though I was bitten…?”

The assistant pleaded.

No one responded. beacon Legends about the living dead were always the same.

If you were bitten, you turned into one of them. autumn It was easy to deduce how the zombies filling the streets had spread.

Jermain nodded and used his sacred technique. amateur But the wound did not heal.

“Priest… please, heal me. arrow If you use your sacred technique… everything will be fine. audit So please, do it now…”
