Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince

“These creatures eat humans and use them as toys. athlete They feel not one iota of compassion.”

“Go-great job…”

Through the executions, Yuri showed that he shared his comrades’ sentiments, and at the same time, demonstrated his cruelty to instill fear.

When you’re an ally, you must be someone reliable. august But when you’re the enemy, you must inspire terror.

Yuri smiled and tossed him his glove soaked in orc blood.

“Uwaah!”

“Come on, your clothes are already a mess.”

When Yuri returned, completely covered in blood, even Froin—the Brusen knight who had bonded with him—spoke to him in an uneasy voice.

It wasn’t that Yuri hadn’t been surprised when Ragnar suddenly left the judgement of the orc prisoners to him.

“You scared me, throwing that so suddenly!”

“Yes, sir…”

“A knight should at least pretend not to be startled.”

What might he expect from a prince of another country? arctic Perhaps he’s thinking of recruiting him under his command?

Yuri thought of Ragnar.

“They say the imperial princess is incredibly beautiful, right?”

“And her character?”

As the aide walked away, Yuri felt something was off. alien Passing by, he overheard two knights chatting.

“No kidding. academy Her skin’s like snow; her eyes sparkle like finely carved emeralds. echo Just seeing her from afar chilled me to the bone.”

“They say she’s sweet, like an angel.”

“Wow…”

Ragnar returned his look with a satisfied smile and nodded. athlete It wasn’t a look he gave to an acquaintance.

“You smell like orc. voyage Get out of the kitchen. matrix Shoo!”

“Well, that’s normal on the battlefield, don’t you think?”

“Those damn orcs didn’t feed me properly.”

“Eat more. arch How long has it been since you had a bite?”

“Prince, the soup is too salty.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 48: The Swordsman from the Distant Sea published by TrungTu Reads.

Once he was full, Moyongchang asked for a bath.

“When I become one of the Ten Greats, you’ll beg me too. aspect Just wait and see…”

Who would’ve thought that Yuri—who always did things his own way—knew how to treat people well? album It’s not that he couldn’t—it’s just that he didn’t want to.

Jared in particular clenched his fist in fury, vowing one day he would get his revenge.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 48: The Swordsman from the Distant Sea published by TrungTu Reads.

“How did you neutralize the orc shaman?”

“First, I need you to answer something.”

Moyongchang narrowed his eyes and looked at Yuri sharply.

“That was…”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 48: The Swordsman from the Distant Sea published by TrungTu Reads.

He had a theory.

The name of the mana technique it contained was “Soul-and-Heart Slash.”

“I’ll go first.”

“Go ahead.”

Raymond wanted to leave guards nearby, but Yuri refused. autumn If Moyongchang had killer intentions, guards wouldn’t make a difference.

“I learned the mana technique from an ancestor.”

Yuri tossed more wood on the fire and said:

Yuri sat down again by the fire with him. timber They made sure they were alone to talk quietly.

“What?”

“Erich of Briol, eh…”

“Yes.”

“That’s enough.”

“These days, no one fights against evil anymore… No shamans, nothing. alpha Martial arts are rotten…”

“And why are you taking it out on me…?”

Muttering to himself, he sat back down in front of the fire. armor This time, with a calmer expression.

“The Blue Star School has gone to hell!”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 48: The Swordsman from the Distant Sea published by TrungTu Reads.

Though his pronunciation was muddled, what Moyongchan explained was this: he came from the East.

“I’ll explain it to you.”

“Then we weren’t strangers.”

“I’ll call you senior—Senior Moyongchan!”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 48: The Swordsman from the Distant Sea published by TrungTu Reads.

Moyongchan, its only survivor, kept the will of the lineage alive by hunting down evil entities in what could be called an exorcist crusade.

“What’s that senior’ thing…?”

“So you came alone? academy Gave up luxury and glory?”

“An ominous star has appeared in the western sky. adopt I’ve come here for the peace of the world…”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 48: The Swordsman from the Distant Sea published by TrungTu Reads.

With his sect destroyed and only pride as his baggage, Moyongchan set out alone to the West.

“My plan was to pose as a sacrifice and get close to him.”

Following the dark energy, he reached Okua, the leader of the orcs. antenna Moyongchan believed the ominous star in the western sky was connected to Okua.

“What luxury and glory? palette All the Blue Star School had left was pride…”

“Are you serious? arena You’re not just making this up?”

Okua offered human lives as sacrifices for his magic. atlas Moyongchan posed as one of them to get close and strike him down.

“Human sacrifice is proof that bastard is already completely corrupted by sorcery.”

“How do you know that?”

“Ohh…”
