Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince

Yuri looked at Donchichi and said.

To the soldiers, he must have felt like a monster impossible to face.

He understood why people couldn’t resist him—his size was comparable to that of a building.

“Are you that big guy?”

But to Yuri, he wasn’t such a difficult opponent.

Donchich stood up in a fury.

He was very strong, yes, but he had so many openings that, as long as Yuri didn’t make a mistake, he could toy with him again and again.

“Everyone, fall back!”

“Insignificant human! alpha I will kill you!”

“Oh…”

Donchich began to charge like a madman, and Yuri appreciated his determination.

Although he had told them to get out of the way, they vanished so quickly that Yuri even felt a little disappointed.

“Uaaaah!”

When Yuri shouted, Brusen’s soldiers began to flee.

Soon, only Donchichi and the imperial troops remained around him.

Yuri brandished Guilty and unleashed the Spinning Whirlwind Sword.

The charge of that gigantic creature created a pressure as if a wall were collapsing on them.

Now that he had achieved mastery, his cutting aura tore through the air in an instant, spinning with force. armor He no longer needed time to accelerate the spin.

When Donchich arrived, the whirlwind was already as large as his body and roared with a deafening sound.

The fractal structure, formed by spins interlocking like gears, expanded in size.

The vortex grew in an instant.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 258: Western Front (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Scared?”

Donchich instinctively slowed down.

Yuri shouted and advanced, guiding the whirlwind toward him.

No matter how tough an ogre’s skin was, it was soft compared to the aura of one of the Ten Greats like Yuri.

“Where do you think you’re going?!”

Yuri chased after him.

“Human monster! arrow He’s back!”

The deceleration was so abrupt that the ground split into a long trench. apron Just before colliding with Yuri’s cutting aura, Donchich came to a complete stop, then pivoted on his heels and fled.

Yuri changed his mind.

While soldiers under black magic control fought without fear, it seemed Donchich hadn’t reached that level.

Surely his natural resistance to external magic was higher than that of a human.

“I said where are you going?!”

“Don’t come! atom Human! aspect Enough, I’ll stop already!”

Instead of killing him, he would use Donchich to massacre the imperial troops.

Donchich kept running in the opposite direction from Yuri, not caring about trampling his own imperial troops.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 258: Western Front (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Everyone, move aside!”

Yuri guided him, and Donchich crushed imperial soldiers with every step.

The knights of the Empire shouted, only to be crushed seconds later under the ogre’s feet.

Even in the middle of the enemy camp, Yuri had no trouble—Donchich was clearing the way for him. ability He laughed nonstop as he harassed him.

If this went on, it seemed he would retreat entirely to the Empire, so Yuri shouted.

Blood spurted, and the ogre ran even faster.

Then he moved faster and struck Donchich’s rear with the whirlwind.

“This is fun.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 258: Western Front (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“N-no!”

“Donchich, stop!”

“If you run, I’ll chase you until I kill you!”

“I’m not stopping!”

“Really?”

“If you stop, I’ll let you live.”

“Yes.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 258: Western Front (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Finally, Donchich slowed down.

All the imperial soldiers looked at him, with a mix of fear and resentment.

The rumble of his footsteps stopped, and for a moment, silence reigned on the battlefield.

But Donchich, ignoring those looks, tried to please Yuri.

“If you run back and forth ten times between those two points, I’ll let you go.”

“Very simple.”

“W-what… do you want?”

Yuri moved his fingers from side to side.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 258: Western Front (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri crossed his arms and frowned.

“It’s your punishment.”

“Why… do I run?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 258: Western Front (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Donchich scratched his head, but Yuri pressured him so he wouldn’t think too much.

“Oh, really?”

“Because of you, things got complicated, so you have to be punished. apron Ten back-and-forth runs is being lenient.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 258: Western Front (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

The ogre looked at the two points indicated.

“Start now. autumn Ten times.”

“A-all right. absorb Donchich runs.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 258: Western Front (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was a path that would directly crush the imperial troops facing Brusen. portal If he ran there, Brusen could advance easily, and the Empire would suffer catastrophic losses.

“Lord Donchich, don’t do it!”

“You’re falling into his trap!”

The imperial knights, understanding Yuri’s intent, shouted at him.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 258: Western Front (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

But Donchich didn’t even listen to them; he even picked his ear.

“Very good, Donchich.”

“Stop!”

“I don’t obey humans weaker than me.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 258: Western Front (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Donchich set off to escape Yuri’s harassment. advance The imperials, to avoid dying, had to scatter, disorganizing their ranks.

“Yes.”

“Let’s run!”

“Ten runs, and you forgive me, right?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 258: Western Front (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Of course, the Empire wasn’t going to let Yuri move freely.

In those conditions, there was no way they could break through the defensive line that Brusen defended tooth and nail.

Little by little, the front began to tilt in favor of the Anti-Imperial Coalition. acoustic A single member of the Ten Greats had changed the course of the battle.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 258: Western Front (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“What’s wrong?”

He turned his head.

Yuri raised his sword and approached to threaten him, but sensed an energy approaching from the surroundings.

At one moment, Donchich stopped.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 258: Western Front (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

The energy they radiated was not ordinary.

It was clear they hadn’t sent their army without preparation.

Six knights were advancing toward him.

“Oh…”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 258: Western Front (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Seen individually, those six knights weren’t particularly fearsome to Yuri—barely on the level of an imperial cavalry captain.

Now he understood why in this battle they hadn’t sent someone like the Black Knight or the Shadowless Sword.

But together, they radiated a force sufficient to make him get serious.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 258: Western Front (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

By their appearance, it didn’t seem they had reached that power by normal means.

“Not bad…”

If black magic could produce knights like that in mass, it would be a serious problem.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 258: Western Front (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Your show ends here.”

One of them spoke.

Yuri stood still, watching them. matrix The war had barely begun, and he wanted to assess the enemy’s strength.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 258: Western Front (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Oh, really?”

Instead of answering, they drew their swords. harbor From the six knights surrounding him emerged a black aura that wrapped around Yuri. atom It was as if a barrier had been deployed, and his senses grew heavier.

Yuri smiled with disdain.

“Did you think that just because several of you came, things would change?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 258: Western Front (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri understood.

Those six knights, in exchange for restraining Yuri, would consume their life expectancy until they died. sphere It was a kind of magic circle that used a human sacrifice.

The black magic aura that had been implanted in them was interfering with him. audit And, as always happened with black magic, the price was their very lives.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 258: Western Front (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

You only had to look at the imperial soldiers present to realize—except for Donchich, they had all turned into war machines as if they were possessed.

“For six people to risk their lives for me… it’s an honor.”

Yuri didn’t bother asking them why they were doing such a thing. atomic From the beginning, all of them were under the influence of black magic. sphere He didn’t know exactly what was happening in the Empire, but surely all its citizens were being indoctrinated with black magic.

“Die without resistance.”

“Almost makes Donchich seem admirable.”

“…”

“Huuh, huff… Human. adopt Now the situation, changed. zenith Revenge!”

At that moment, Donchich appeared.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 258: Western Front (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri immediately canceled what he had just been thinking.

“What? album Idiot? altitude Donchich, ready! meadow Ogre genius! wizard If you ignore me, revenge!”

“Idiot.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 258: Western Front (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Then Donchich charged at him.

From their bodies, the black aura merged, forming a six-pointed star that continued to hinder Yuri.

The six knights stepped back as if they had been waiting for it.

His body felt heavy.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 258: Western Front (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

In the instant he prepared to block Donchich’s attack, the same aura he had just cut away clung to him again to prevent him from moving.

That technique he had mastered contained the ability to tear apart black magic. audit The dark aura pressing on him vanished without a trace.

Yuri gripped Guilty, infusing it with the power of “The Cut of the soul and the heart.”
He cut.

“This is nothing…”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 258: Western Front (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

His head pounded and his body creaked.

Donchich’s massive fist struck his body. admire Although he raised his sword and adopted a defensive stance just before receiving it, avoiding a mortal wound, the impact sent him flying and rolling across the ground.

For a moment, Yuri lost his balance.

“Tsk…!”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 258: Western Front (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Damn it…”

The brute force of that blow was immense.

Meanwhile, the six knights activated again and once more formed the circle of the six-pointed star, plunging him into that sensation of being submerged underwater.

“But, you know what?”

“Cowards, so many against one…”

Yuri raised his gaze.

No one answered. harbor Only Donchich kept running to attack him.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 258: Western Front (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Hahahahaha!”

A thunderous laugh echoed across the battlefield.

And then, Donchich, who was rushing toward Yuri, suddenly collapsed to the ground.

“You’re not the only ones who have allies.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 258: Western Front (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s been a long time, Your Highness!”

“Have you been well?”

It was Jose, one of Brusen’s Ten Greats, smiling broadly at Yuri. galaxy The latter returned the greeting with a wave. atom It had been a while since he had seen him.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 258: Western Front (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“And what do we do with this big slowpoke?”

“I’ve been well until these damned Imperials messed everything up again.”

“That’s why I came out too.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 258: Western Front (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Donchich got up and glared at Jose.

“Beat him up.”

“Understood.”

“Human! echo You annoy!”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 258: Western Front (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“This bastard!”

“You, no, I win.”

“And you’re not afraid of me?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 258: Western Front (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri shrugged.

The ground shook and explosions rumbled in their fierce fight.

A human as tall as a giant, Jose, and the gigantic Donchich clashed with each other.

“Well, what do you think now?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 258: Western Front (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Even if it’s not Donchich, there are many who can kill you.”

In a state where his mobility was limited by black magic, facing dozens of knights wouldn’t be easy, not even for him.

As soon as he finished speaking, more imperial knights rushed at Yuri, all with eyes full of bloodlust.

One of the six knights spoke again.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 258: Western Front (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

He had to kill those six first.

“Let’s kill those six first. adopt What do you think?”

While scanning his surroundings, Yuri suddenly spoke.

The others looked at him strangely, thinking he was talking to himself. alpha But then something unexpected happened—one of the knights forming the barrier suddenly dropped dead.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 258: Western Front (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

All were stunned. aluminum Over the lifeless body of the knight, someone was standing.

“What the hell…?”

“N-no…!”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 258: Western Front (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“So much boasting about fighting alone… and in the end, you’re nothing more than someone asking for help.”

“I’ve already killed one, so you take care of the rest.”

The voice was clear, but the tone brimmed with sarcasm.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 258: Western Front (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

The young man was none other than Laurent.

The one who had killed the imperial knight and appeared before them was a young man with golden hair and handsome features. august His face was pure and radiant, but the atmosphere around him was decadent.

Yuri narrowed his eyes at the sight of him.

“With that face and that attitude… something doesn’t add up.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 258: Western Front (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Well, it doesn’t matter.”

No matter how twisted he had become, to his eyes he wasn’t that different from the Laurent who used to follow him everywhere.

Yuri smiled indifferently.

With Inariel’s help, he had regained his original body, free of the deformities of black magic. apron However, inside, he was still the same cynical man.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 258: Western Front (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Lord Laurent, although your new appearance is also attractive, I must say I miss the adorable Lord Laurent from before. amber Isn’t that right, Your Highness?”

As Yuri raised his sword again, another person appeared at his side.

“Of course.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 258: Western Front (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes, sir.”

“Enough. artist Laurent will get angry.”

“In those days when I followed His Highness the prince…”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 258: Western Front (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Laurent’s face tensed.

“How annoying.”

Laurent swung his sword irritably. palette The battle resumed.

He was Jared, one of the few who wasn’t intimidated by the changed Laurent.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 258: Western Front (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri’s sword tore through everything around him. acquire Blood and flesh splattered the air.

As he killed mechanically, Yuri straightened his back and looked around.

Jared, for his part, assisted Yuri by eliminating enemies with precision.

Yuri and Jared moved in unison. august With Laurent killing one of the members of the circle, the barrier trapping Yuri had lost much of its strength, and that became a disaster for the imperial knights.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 258: Western Front (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

In his previous life, the imperial army had been so strong that it had never lost a single time.

The first battle had been a success.

At some point, Brusen’s forces had broken the imperial line and were overpowering the Empire’s black troops.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 258: Western Front (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

The hope of victory could be felt.

Yuri looked up toward the northern sky, a cold smile on his face.

But this time was different.

“Wait, Cedric…”
