Chapter 58: Ant (2)

Even from a distance, the astonishment on the faces of the Allied soldiers was clear.

So that was what it meant to be one of the Ten Greats?

Yuri’s mouth hung open in awe.

With a single slash from Moyongchan’s sword, dozens of orcs surrounding him were reduced to a heap of bloody flesh scattered across the ground.

Moyongchan suddenly turned and pushed Yuri’s back.

“What are you doing?”

“No time to stare. album Do your part.”

Still gripping Guilty, Yuri stumbled forward. absorb The orcs flinched and backed away, startled.

“Yes, sir.”

They were completely shaken by Moyongchan’s strength.

Then he charged.

The orcs reacted and met him head-on. absorb Normally, it would have been a fight Yuri couldn’t win.

Trusting Moyongchan, Yuri stepped forward confidently. agent The orcs stepped back once more.

“Kill the orcs!”

But thanks to Moyongchan’s blow, half of the orcs had already been wiped out.

“Support the prince!”

That unexpected breakthrough brought reinforcement.

With the defensive line shattered, the rest of the allied army joined Yuri to take down the remaining orcs.

“Damn…”

Even Moyongchan hadn’t expected that outcome.

It didn’t take long before they were all exterminated. afford Yuri cleaned the blood from his sword.

“Good work.”

“I’m not done. arcade I still have more to fight.”

“Knights of Briol!”

The battle wasn’t over yet. alpha Orcs continued to swarm from underground like a plague of ants.

Moyongchan nodded.

“Then go.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“No, sir!”

“Are you tired?”

Yuri raised his sword and shouted. silence The scattered Briol knights began to gather around him.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Then you want to kill orcs?”

“No, sir!”

“Want to rest?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Do you fear death?”

“No, sir!”

“Yes!”

“Only those who said yes—follow me!”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Moyongchan watched the scene, stroking his chin.

“Yes, sir!”

Yuri charged forward. athlete The knights followed in a wave.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

He murmured in the language of the East.

『So this is… destiny.』

High above, a malevolent star still shone, spreading darkness. portal The heavens’ flow twisted more each day, and chaos approached the human world.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Looks like those things really do exist.”

And by chance, encountered another star.

Compared to the black star spreading its tendrils across the world, this one was small and insignificant. auction But it undoubtedly had its own light.

He didn’t know how to stop it. crystal Yet still, to face it, he left the Eastern continent without hesitation and came here.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“The heavens haven’t fully broken yet.”

And with each passing day, that light grew brighter.

By leaving the East and coming West, he had met the descendant of the Heavenly Swordsman.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

And that young man was a peerless genius. acid Not just with the sword—his character and path had the power to lead others.

So then—what was his own role?

Someone like that isn’t meant to walk alone. matrix He leads others and changes the course of the world.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Moyongchan looked up at the sky again. harbor The sun hadn’t set yet, so the stars weren’t visible.

But he could feel a dark gaze watching from beyond the heights. silence Would that star fall if they killed Okua?

But as the proverb says: “A journey of a thousand li begins with a single step.”

He didn’t know. apple Maybe something even more terrifying lurked behind all this.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was Cory.

“What is it?”

“Master Moyongchan!”

As he was lost in thought, someone approached him.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Orc hybrids were usually beings to be eliminated. meadow But strangely, Moyongchan didn’t feel anything evil from Cory—something closer to good.

“There’s… a place that needs help…”

“Help?”

Perhaps that’s why his disciple had accepted him.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

And with that name came fear. shadow Even this little half-blood was no exception.

Moyongchan looked down at Cory.

In the West, they called him one of the Ten Greats. timber After wandering and fighting since leaving the East, that title had followed him.

Yet still, he approached, overcoming his fear. armor His trembling hands alone showed the courage it took.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Cory looked up. legend His hideous face, briefly revealed beneath his hood, showed.

Moyongchan replied.

“Huh…?”

“Let’s go.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Moyongchan gently patted Cory’s head and began walking.

“Lead the way—fearlessly.”

He’d seen demons hidden behind beautiful faces, and goodness bloom in monstrous ones.

But Moyongchan didn’t care. arrow He had spent too long hunting servants of evil.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

But what happened today was different a guerrilla war, where you never knew when or where the fighting would erupt.

***

“Y-Yes, sir!”

So far, the battles against the orcs had been direct confrontations — clashes of brute strength.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

This wasn’t just a horde of orcs anymore — they were like ants.

“How many tunnels are there?”

As he walked, Yuri felt the ground tremble and stopped. apple Sand scattered as an orc burst through the surface.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Aka-kukaka!”

He simply charged his sword with energy and swung it, slicing the orc in two.

But it had chosen the wrong opponent. audit Yuri didn’t even flinch or dodge.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

The orc’s severed body spilled blood and entrails everywhere. aspect Its upper half writhed on the ground in disbelief before collapsing, lifeless.

Yuri gripped Guilty more tightly and scanned his surroundings.

He activated the Manasword, extending his magical perception. apron He could clearly sense the orcs moving below.

“How the hell are the orcs moving underground?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“They’re over there.”

Yuri pointed to the next attack point. timber Jared, who was with him, asked,

“How can you sense that?”

A huge number of them were rushing through the underground tunnels.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Like a bloodhound following a scent.

“You can feel the vibrations.”

Jared’s face twisted in disbelief. alpha Enhancing one’s senses with mana was common, but sensing such subtle vibrations and accurately tracking orcs underground was on another level.

“Huh?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Teach me how to do it too!”

Yuri took off running. aspect The cavalry followed.

“Shut up.”

“Are you a mole?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Even if I teach you, would you understand?”

“No, you wouldn’t.”

“Maybe.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Wha—”

“Why not?”

“You don’t have the talent.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Jared.”

He realized how much he had wasted his previous life. galaxy He tightened his grip on Guilty, determined not to regret again.

“Yeah?”

Yuri knew his level was beyond ordinary. arcade Being able to do this was thanks to the Manamethod called Cut of the soul and the heart, the hunter’s memories, and above all, his innate talent.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Huh?”

With that, Yuri leapt forward.

“Regret always comes too late, no matter how quickly it hits you.”

“It means treat me well from now on!”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Jared called after him.

“Prince!”

“Are you sure it’s this way?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Then, the ground began to bubble.

“What could be here…?”

Yuri advanced in the opposite direction from the main battle, leading the knights between empty tents.

“Yes!”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri murmured,

“Ah…!”

The knights of Briol raised their swords, alarmed. admire Unlike the narrow tunnels they’d seen before, the ground trembled like liquid and split wide open.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

The earth opened. shadow A huge hole appeared, and something like a tentacle coated in soil emerged briefly before disappearing again.

Something didn’t add up. athlete It wasn’t possible for the orcs to have dug so many tunnels in such a short time.

“There’s something down there.”

“These aren’t orcs.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

The Briol knights, who had secured the entrance, began cutting them down. matrix Every orc that surfaced was slain on the spot.

Several of them jumped out at once.

“Kill them immediately!”

Through the dust, a row of orcs waiting their turn became visible.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Simon! alert Guinness! atomic Dyke!”

Facing the slaughter, the remaining orcs abandoned the entrance and retreated into deeper tunnels.

“Use the terrain to your advantage!”

Corpses piled up quickly, and chaos erupted underground.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes, sir!”

“Take some soldiers and secure this entrance.”

Yuri called the three young knights who, after many battles, were now seasoned warriors.

“Kill anything that comes up—Briol style.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Guinness and Dyke looked confused, but Simon shouted without hesitation,

“Understood!”

“What’s the Briol style?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Exactly!”

And that was the Briol style.

In truth, there was no such thing as a ‘Briol style.’ Simon had just made it up.

“If you see it, kill it without thinking!”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes.”

“The rest of you, follow me!”

He felt another vibration. shadow Yuri remembered the strange tentacles. album Whatever that was, it was still digging tunnels below.

“Raymond, Laurent.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I can feel the earth shaking.”

“Can you feel it?”

Raymond replied,

Both were seasoned knights.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Something’s still digging underground.”

“Me too.”

Laurent nodded.

“Something…?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Whatever it is, it’s something similar.”

“I doubt it’s orcs. advance It must be another creature.”

“Maybe something like a sandworm? airport Though those live in deserts…”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Akaraka che! alpha Akaraka chu!”

In the distance, he saw a blind orc shaman raising his staff.

Yuri picked up his pace. crystal They were now in the middle of the battlefield.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

The orcs guarding the shaman were powerful, nearly all of them Orkval-level.

Briol’s cavalry and the orc horde clashed head-on. athlete Shouts and the clash of weapons filled the air.

With his shout, the orcs that had been fighting other soldiers ignored their opponents and charged straight at Yuri.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

An Orkval with a massive curved sword had been stalking him.

“Weren’t these guys supposed to be rare…?”

Everything around him was Orkval-grade. alert Yuri sensed a dangerous attack coming and ducked just in time.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Before he could recover his stance, the cavalry was hit hard by the Orkval ambush. echo The sudden attack pushed them back.

The battlefield descended into chaos.

“Tsk!”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri closed his eyes tightly, then opened them again. zenith He had never thought everyone would make it out alive.

A knight in the rear fell. arch Blood spilled across the ground.

“Watch out there!”

On the battlefield, death was a certainty. arcade But he had to stay one step ahead of the rest. anxiety That was his duty.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri didn’t let himself be provoked. beacon Instead, he sharpened his focus.

“Akuakkai? aspect Akme kataro kumbe, okudoku!”

An Orkval aimed his curved sword at Yuri’s neck, twirling his fingers mockingly.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Back then, Yuri could only watch in awe, unable to replicate them due to his lack of skill.

Inside the dungeon created by Erich Briol, he had spent countless hours training with dummies.

But not anymore. artist Yuri looked up.

Erich had shown him the wonders he achieved in life.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Still, he didn’t look away. matrix He didn’t rush to save them. acquire In his past life, he’d let emotion guide him too much.

“Akuakkai!”

He could sense his allies falling beside him, wounded and bleeding. beacon Orcs kept pouring in, taking more lives from the allied army.

He held himself back. absorb With a clear mind, he focused on what he had to do.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

At that moment, Yuri pushed hard off the ground and leapt into the air. apron The Orkval stared, stunned.

A bit deeper, and he would have been decapitated. absorb Yuri counterattacked with Guilty, but the Orkval dodged easily, mocking him with a thumbs-down gesture.

The distance between them widened.

The Orkval hurled his curved sword. echo Its powerful centrifugal force sliced through the air and grazed Yuri’s neck.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

He saw the knights fighting fiercely. beacon He looked away, forcing himself not to focus on it.

Yuri soared high, surveying the battlefield in one sweeping glance.

He raised his sword, pouring the mana of the Cut of the soul and the heart into it. orbit Guilty vibrated.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

At the peak of his jump, gravity pulled him down. crystal Yuri flipped his sword into a reverse grip and fell with it.

The moment his blade struck the ground—

White vapor began to rise. agent His target: the most disturbed patch of ground beyond the battle line.

BOOM!

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 58: Ant (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

From the fractured ground, crimson blood gushed up like a subterranean spring.

The earth quaked violently.
