“Huff, huff…”

Only the ragged breathing of the two men stirred the air.

The citizens who had been cheering for Pietro no longer made a sound.

Suddenly, Pietro let out a shout and charged forward.

Everyone could sense that the end was near. anchor The conclusion was coming soon.

As if they had agreed beforehand, both began to slowly close the distance.

“Khk…”

“Iyaaaaaaah!”

“Uaaaaaaah!”

The king also ran toward him.

But no one there dared to laugh at them.

“Who do you think will win?”

Both were wearing nothing but some kind of shorts, and their stances were clumsy.

To an outsider’s eyes, it might have looked like a ridiculous situation.

“They’re completely evenly matched.”

“Even His Majesty…”

“I don’t know.”

Yuri swallowed hard.

Since he had reached this level, it was the first time a fight had been so difficult for him to predict.

At that moment, both of their fists struck the other’s face.

He truly couldn’t tell.

There wasn’t much power behind it, the sound wasn’t impressive.

The two fell at the same time. auction The entire crowd rose from their seats.

However, it was enough to knock down bodies already pushed to their limits.

A cross-counter.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 334: Extra. The Great Escape of Yuri! (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

Both lay on the ground motionless.

Even Yuri leaned forward to get a better view of the scene.

“For something like this to happen…”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 334: Extra. The Great Escape of Yuri! (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

The knight overseeing the duel began to count cautiously.

“If it stays like this, how do they decide the winner?”

One, two, three.

“If neither gets up, the one with the lower weight wins. echo Because they would have overcome the disadvantage of their weight class.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 334: Extra. The Great Escape of Yuri! (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

“By the way, Pietro is a bit lighter.”

Yuri waited to see who would get up first.

“I see…”

The king of Konzed’s body was much fatter, but Pietro, though tall and broad-shouldered, didn’t weigh much more.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 334: Extra. The Great Escape of Yuri! (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

Six, seven, eight.

“We’ll decide it by weight!”

To be fairer, they brought out a measuring instrument. zenith The two unconscious bodies were placed one after the other on a large balance scale.

The count ended.

If he hadn’t suffered in prison, Pietro might have weighed more. album This too was the hand of fate.

“Sir Pietro has won!”

As if celebrating victory, Pietro’s side lifted higher.

The crowd erupted in applause and cheers.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 334: Extra. The Great Escape of Yuri! (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

Pietro was now king.

“Yes…”

“In the end it turned out well, Your Highness. admire Don’t you think?”

Yuri only nodded with an ambiguous smile.

The rest would be in the hands of the people of Konzed.

“With this, another matter is resolved.”

“Hurrah!”

“Thank you, Hegemon!”

Pietro, and now the dethroned former king, could not see them off as they were receiving treatment.

At Jared’s words, Yuri smiled.

Instead, countless citizens came out to bless the path of Yuri and his companions.

“I thought Pietro would lose. academy The former king wasn’t a pushover either. arch When he was young, I bet he threw quite a punch. arena Wow…”

“The truth is, Pietro lost.”

“It was Pietro’s defeat.”

“Huh?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 334: Extra. The Great Escape of Yuri! (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

“What are you saying?”

Yuri glanced back over his shoulder. airport The castle of Konzed was growing distant.

“But he chose not to get up.”

“The former king regained consciousness in the end.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 334: Extra. The Great Escape of Yuri! (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

But he chose to remain lying down as he listened to the count.

The former king of Konzed, lying on his back, half-opened his eyes toward the sky. audit He still had the strength to stand.

With his vision that transcended the human, he could clearly see the state of both fighters.

Yuri recalled that moment.

“Really? crystal That man…”

Laurent, who had been silent until then, spoke.

And so, like a piece of meat on the scale, he accepted defeat.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 334: Extra. The Great Escape of Yuri! (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Maybe he just wanted to land one last hit.”

Jared tilted his head.

“He knew too. matrix That the tide had already turned.”

“Then why fight?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 334: Extra. The Great Escape of Yuri! (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

“He seemed so ambitious, and yet…”

“Or maybe, he simply changed his mind at the last moment. admire Aren’t we all that human?”

Yuri smiled.

“He could beat the fist of a young man, but not the heart of an entire people. alpha It wasn’t Pietro’s blow that brought him down, but the will of the crowd.”

“In any case, we did what we had to. timber Now, to the Magic Tower!”

“A lesson in that?”

“Yes!”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 334: Extra. The Great Escape of Yuri! (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

The three left Konzed in an instant.

When the inner door of the Magic Tower opened, an endless library appeared.

***

Guided by a mage, Yuri and his group entered Tatago’s workshop.

“Is Mr. arcade Tatago here?”

The ceiling was so high that the highest books seemed impossible to reach.

They entered cautiously.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 334: Extra. The Great Escape of Yuri! (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

One wrong turn and they could get lost.

The rows of bookshelves stretched on endlessly like dominoes.

Jared’s voice echoed.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 334: Extra. The Great Escape of Yuri! (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri took a book and opened it.

“There really are a lot of books.”

It was full of an unfamiliar language.

“Look at this.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 334: Extra. The Great Escape of Yuri! (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

“This is definitely Tatago. acquire Is he trying to decipher even incomprehensible languages?”

The three of them turned their heads.

“What an excessive thirst for knowledge.”

While they were expressing their admiration, the echo of footsteps approached from far away.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 334: Extra. The Great Escape of Yuri! (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri was amazed.

He had thought Sidherst, the master of the Magic Tower, embodied the image of the typical sage, but this old man surpassed him.

An old man with a beard as white as snow walked toward them.

“Oooh…!”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 334: Extra. The Great Escape of Yuri! (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shining hair and beard, a wide-brimmed gray conical hat. aluminum In the wrinkles on his face, his eyes shone with deep wisdom.

The voice, weathered by years, resonated powerfully as if amplified by a magic device.

“What purpose brings you before this old man buried in truth…?”

“Unknown visitors…”

“I am Yuri Briol. arcade I have heard much of your fame, Mr. timber Tatago.”

Tatago lowered his gaze toward Yuri.

“Hooh…”

Yuri stepped forward and respectfully extended his hand.

“Maryrose’s husband.”

“You, boy…”

“That’s right.”

“Take care of each other and love each other.”

It felt like standing before a father-in-law.

Then Tatago spoke.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 334: Extra. The Great Escape of Yuri! (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes, yes…”

“Only affection, care, and dialogue can mend such rifts. august I beg you to embrace each other with open hearts.”

“You have lived in different worlds, your thoughts may clash. atlas Even between parents and children, understanding is hard to achieve—how much more between two strangers building a home?”

“…Pardon?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 334: Extra. The Great Escape of Yuri! (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

At first, the sudden marriage sermon confused him, but Yuri felt the warmth of the old man.

“Good.”

Tatago patted Yuri on the shoulder.

“I’ll keep that well in mind.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 334: Extra. The Great Escape of Yuri! (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

The mages Yuri had met until now all had some flaw in their personality. admire But Tatago was different.

“While I was shut away in my room, isolated from the world, many things happened. august Though I am a humble mage, I regret not being able to help you. absorb You have suffered much.”

“It seems you need help, since you came looking for me.”

“That’s right.”

Yuri felt as if he had met a grandfather he’d never seen before.

“I need your artifact, Mr. zenith Tatago. advance I need Mamago.”

“So, what is this about?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 334: Extra. The Great Escape of Yuri! (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri explained the situation to Tatago.

“Yes.”

“Mamago…?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 334: Extra. The Great Escape of Yuri! (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Hmm…”

When he heard the story about the unknown civilization across the sea, Tatago stroked his beard in silence.

“With Mamago, it should be possible to communicate with them, right?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 334: Extra. The Great Escape of Yuri! (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

“But Mamago is not a simple tool that can be operated at will…”

“Then…”

“Of course it’s possible.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 334: Extra. The Great Escape of Yuri! (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

Tatago let out a sigh.

“What do you mean by it can’t be operated at will?”

“I presented it at the magic academy, but there was something I didn’t mention.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 334: Extra. The Great Escape of Yuri! (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

“The same word can mean completely different things depending on the speaker’s intent.”

“Language is never fixed.”

“That’s true.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 334: Extra. The Great Escape of Yuri! (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

Tatago paused in thought and then nodded.

“To resolve that problem, I tried something special…”

“It’s better if I show you directly. afford Follow me.”

“That’s true.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 334: Extra. The Great Escape of Yuri! (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

In one of them, Tatago took something out.

“Understood.”

“This is…”

Tatago turned around. adjust They passed countless bookshelves until they reached a hallway connected to several rooms.

“Why are you suddenly showing me a sword?”

It had no lavish decorations, but its blade was so finely forged that at a glance it was clear this was an extraordinary weapon.

It was a sword.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 334: Extra. The Great Escape of Yuri! (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

The instant Yuri held it—

Startled, Yuri dropped the sword. apple It vibrated on the floor as if angry.

Without saying a word, Tatago handed it to him.

[Handle me more respectfully! crystal Holding the grip like that, it’s as if you’re planning to stab that old man!]

***

Tatago, eyes closed and stroking his beard, replied:

“W-what is this?”

“This is Mamago.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 334: Extra. The Great Escape of Yuri! (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

“To create a perfect artifact that could even convey the speaker’s intent, I gave it a personality. zenith Miraculously, it worked—but it ended up with quite a strange temperament.”

Yuri sighed deeply as he looked at the sword shaking on the table.

The Mamago created by Tatago was an “Ego Sword,” spoken of only in legend.

“I see…”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 334: Extra. The Great Escape of Yuri! (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

A dragon heart could store immense magical power and also contained remnants of the “language of dragons,” unmatched in the field of language.

Interpreting all languages is extremely difficult. acoustic That’s why Tatago used a “dragon heart” as a material.

“It seems to be the influence of the dragon heart it contains.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 334: Extra. The Great Escape of Yuri! (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I imbued that sword with magic and created a being capable of interpreting all languages. amber That’s the result.”

After a long search, Tatago managed to acquire a sword forged from an alloy containing a melted dragon heart.

However, in the present age, it was no longer possible to obtain a pure dragon heart.

Though the twist of events surprised him for a moment, Yuri wasn’t fazed.

“That’s no problem.”

“But it’s a very capricious thing, so it won’t be easy to handle.”

“I see…”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 334: Extra. The Great Escape of Yuri! (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Mr. athlete Tatago, let me tell you something.”

“Who am I? riddle I’m the strongest swordsman on the continent. academy No one surpasses me in handling a sword.”

“That’s true, but still…”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 334: Extra. The Great Escape of Yuri! (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

“There are no bad swords.”

Yuri smiled.

“What is it?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 334: Extra. The Great Escape of Yuri! (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Depending on how its wielder treats it, even something like Mamago can be docile and kind.”

“I’ll prove it to you.”

“Really?”

Yuri took the sword.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 334: Extra. The Great Escape of Yuri! (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

Mamago could only speak by absorbing a small amount of mana from direct contact with a person.

[Hey! ability You dare use me? matrix I’m not a mere tool, I am the great Mamago! arrow I will not listen to your orders!]

“My, you’re noisy.”

Immediately, Mamago began shouting.

[Kyaaah!]

Clang!

“Nice sound.”

Clang!

“You’re a sword. portal But you seem to think you’re not.”

“Mr. adapt Tatago. canvas Cover your ears for a moment.”

[Aaaah! abstract Stop! arch Don’t treat me so roughly!]

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 334: Extra. The Great Escape of Yuri! (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

[I’m not just a mere sword!]

[Wait, wait! alpha We can resolve this by talking!]

“You’re just a sword. matrix A sword is a weapon. absorb Swordsmanship is the art of killing.”

“A swordsman doesn’t resolve things with words.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 334: Extra. The Great Escape of Yuri! (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes?”

“Draw your sword, Jared.”

Yuri called out to Jared.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 334: Extra. The Great Escape of Yuri! (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

When Jared drew his weapon, Mamago shrieked.

“Understood.”

“It seems Mamago needs job training. silence We have to teach it to be used properly as a sword.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 334: Extra. The Great Escape of Yuri! (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Of course.”

Yuri swung Mamago, and Jared countered.

[You mean to face me with that vulgar thing?]

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 334: Extra. The Great Escape of Yuri! (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

A metallic sound rang out, so pure it was hard to believe it was just the clash of swords.

“It really is an extraordinary sword, just as they said—because of the dragon heart!”

“That’s right. advance A magnificent sword.”

Jared exclaimed in admiration.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 334: Extra. The Great Escape of Yuri! (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

[Khh…]

Yuri smiled from the corner of his mouth.

The weapon was surprisingly quiet.

Yuri glanced at Mamago.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 334: Extra. The Great Escape of Yuri! (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I don’t think so.”

“How about now?”

[I-i-insolent! august Let me go at once!]

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 334: Extra. The Great Escape of Yuri! (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

Even if it complained, deep down it must have felt good.

Yuri swung the sword several more times. amber Each time it clashed with Jared’s, Mamago at first protested furiously, but soon fell silent.

Because in the end, Mamago was still a sword.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 334: Extra. The Great Escape of Yuri! (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Then what’s the cause…?”

“Mr. alert Tatago. beacon Do you know why this thing has such a twisted personality?”

“I don’t know. harbor I thought it was just like that from the start…”

“There are no bad swords.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 334: Extra. The Great Escape of Yuri! (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes. antenna Because it was never used properly as a sword, it couldn’t release its desires and built up stress. ability And because it never crossed blades with other swords, it lacks social skills. armor In other words, by not living as a sword, it became a rude weapon that shouts at anyone.”

“Lack of activity?”

Tatago’s eyes went wide.

“The main reason it ended up like this is a lack of activity.”
