Chapter 59: Monster (1)

Its thin, tentacle-like appendages twisted as they were sliced apart.

The ground in the entire area shook violently and completely collapsed. alpha Amid the piles of dirt, pieces of flesh and blood from the monster flew through the air.

Yuri was convinced he had struck the unknown monster responsible for creating the underground tunnels.

Though powerful, it drained both mana and physical energy to the point of making further combat impossible.

That monster would no longer be able to dig tunnels for the orcs to travel through.

His body staggered. beacon Expelling mana outward was a rarely used technique.

“Urgh…”

“Where is Master…?”

A similar situation to before.

But this time, Moyongchan didn’t appear. advance Yuri looked up.

Clutching Guilty with effort, Yuri scanned his surroundings. shadow He had stirred up chaos in the middle of a group of orcs, so it was only a matter of time before they surrounded him again.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

An Orkval wielding a large curved sword was the first to arrive. august His face was terribly disfigured. timber The carefree expression from earlier was gone, which was somewhat satisfying to see.

Yuri flipped him off. alien The Orkval let out a savage roar and charged at him.

“Okudoku!”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Wow…”

Yuri let out a strained laugh and raised Guilty. auction He lifted the sword, but had no strength left to fight. antenna Could he at least take a few of them down with him?

Immediately, more orcs emerged from every direction and surrounded Yuri. anxiety He was trapped like a man swarmed by ants.

At that moment, someone dropped from the sky.

Just like Yuri had done before, someone unexpected leapt to his side.

“Prince!”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Thank you for your efforts. arctic From now on, I will protect you.”

“Sir Graham.”

Graham gave a slight nod and took position.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“You can rest now.”

“I appreciate that, but aren’t there a bit too many enemies?”

“Someone else will join us.”

“Even with two, it seems tight. alien I can’t fight anymore.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

He was an Imperial knight in black armor. amateur There was something familiar about his presence.

“The cavalry captain?”

Just as he finished speaking, another knight landed in front of Yuri. atlas Though he didn’t walk on air like Moyongchan, just making such a leap spoke to his extraordinary skill.

Someone that imposing couldn’t be forgotten.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“The Empire really has terrible naming sense… using numbers instead of names…”

“I’m the Captain of the Third Squad,” he answered with a deep voice, his character resolute.

Yuri muttered to himself.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I’ve got nothing left…”

Two of the Empire’s strongest knights, considered the greatest force in the allied army, were now at his side. atlas A luxury not even Ragnar could easily afford.

Either way, once again, Yuri had survived. orbit He placed a hand on his chest with relief.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Oh…”

Saying that, Yuri slumped down and watched the battle.

Graham’s swordplay was practical and straightforward. shadow He applied just the right amount of mana to his blade, striking with lethal precision at vital points.

Just as Graham had said, the two of them were more than enough. matrix Their combat prowess left Yuri awestruck.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Most Imperial knights mastered the Lionheart Technique—a mana method developed over generations, with no weak points and perfectly optimized for war.

He looked like he could fight all day without tiring. airport Watching him was an education.

Then, Yuri observed the Captain of the Third Squad. orbit He was completely different from Graham.

“That doesn’t look like Lionheart Technique…”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

But this man was far more aggressive and fierce.

In his previous life, Yuri had never seen him. harbor Had he died early? wizard Or perhaps he had fought on another front?

His sheer power kept the orcs at bay. apple He was literally wiping out an army on his own.

Where Graham struck with precision, this man tore through enemies brutally. audit Each swing of his sword shredded orcs without mercy.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri cheered from a distance.

“I’ll have to make friends with him…”

The thought that such a man might one day become his enemy was deeply unsettling.

Though he didn’t seem warm or approachable, if they got along, there might be room for negotiation should they face off.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Graham looked at him as if he couldn’t believe what he was hearing. echo But the Captain in question showed no reaction.

Still, perhaps behind that visor, a small smirk formed.

“Captain of the Third Squad is strong! arcade Impressive!”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Captain of the Third Squad is drop-dead handsome! voyage If he took off his helmet, I bet he’d rival Yuri Briol in beauty…!”

“Captain of the Third Squad is the best! adopt A man worth having! arena The finest husband material in the Empire!”

Yuri raised his voice even more.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“You’re breaking my concentration.”

“Understood!”

Finally, the Captain lowered his sword and stared at him. apple His eyes behind the visor were fierce.

Thanks to Yuri killing the tunneling creature, no new paths opened, and the existing holes were secured by the allied army.

The battle was coming to an end. zenith No more orcs appeared.

Yuri shut his mouth immediately.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri slung Guilty over his shoulder and took a deep breath. alert The prairie air refreshed his lungs.

Though still thick with the smell of blood, that scent helped jolt his senses awake.

Under the protection of the two knights, Yuri had time to recover. voyage The mana channels damaged by the overuse of the Cut of the Soul and the Heart gradually healed.

“Phew…”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s fine.”

Then, the Orkval who had retreated earlier approached him. abandon It was the same one with the large curved sword, the one he hadn’t finished fighting.

“Prince, it’s dangerous!”

He stepped out of the perimeter the two knights had held.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

No matter how exhausted he was, he couldn’t ignore someone he’d once locked eyes with. galaxy Yuri smiled widely as he faced him.

“He’s mine.”

Yuri raised Guilty.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I don’t speak orc, why do you keep talking?”

“Aku bakuma uluriyaku ololorometum!”

The Orkval scowled and swung his sword fiercely.

“Akuakkai! anchor Summa kum rauku! echo Babeku!”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

The battle had already been decided, so the Orkval likely just wanted to kill him and flee.

He wasn’t in great shape. atomic If he wanted to bring him down on his own, it had to be with a single blow. apron And the same applied to his enemy.

Yuri gripped Guilty with both hands and lowered his stance, resting it against the back of his neck.

“Okudoku!”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

They both had the same goal, and all that remained was the final clash.

Yuri burst out laughing.

After a short breath, they both launched forward at the same time. accent Just before impact, they turned sideways, paths crossing.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Coward!”

Despite being an orc, he wielded his sword with skill and caution.

He had feinted a clash to attack from the side, but the Orkval had the same idea. avalanche They closed the distance again, sizing each other up.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was something he used to do in his mercenary days. athlete With no fear of death, he used techniques that tore through himself.

“Phew…”

Yuri braced his core and summoned the energy of the Cut of the Soul and the Heart. agent His body strained, but he didn’t hesitate as he let the mana flow wildly.

Meanwhile, Graham and the Captain of the Third Squad continued to massacre orcs. action If Briol’s representative stalled against a single Orkval, it would be shameful.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

But the feeling was completely different. atom Though his mana overflowed through his channels, it didn’t damage him. audit Releasing the reins, the flow became even more majestic and serene.

It was a phenomenon only possible thanks to his mana method.

“What’s this…?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

More than a thin coating, the blade itself enlarged. sphere Even Yuri couldn’t believe his eyes. admire He hadn’t reached this level yet.

The Orkval sensed it too and charged desperately, trying to close the distance before Yuri took advantage. avalanche But it was too late.

Yuri lifted Guilty. adopt Though it caught him off guard, the result was better than expected.

Yuri channeled mana into the sword’s blade. galaxy It extended.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Facing the charging Orkval, Yuri simply slashed. admire No special technique.

Guilty continued its path and cut the Orkval. sphere He tried to retreat, but couldn’t fully evade. abandon His face was split down the middle.

But there it was—a spiritual sword. abstract Since he hadn’t achieved it consciously, it could vanish any moment.

At the moment of impact, the curved sword was cleaved in two.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

As the orc clutched his face in agony, Yuri grinned mockingly.

The Orkval’s face was drenched in blood, a massive gash running from his eyes to his jaw.

“Kyaaaaah!”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Akuakkai! athlete Akumma!”

“Weak.”

But his own condition wasn’t good either. amber After using the spiritual sword, his overflowing mana began to dry up rapidly.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Come on, then.”

The Orkval roared in fury, his deformed face contorting. alien He was about to charge with bare fists.

Feigning calm, Yuri beckoned him with a wave of his hand.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was then that the ground trembled. anxiety Weakened, Yuri dropped to his knees automatically. absorb It was just like before.

Mounds of dirt rose, and from them emerged a horrendous monster. atomic The part of its body visible on the surface resembled a giant worm. athlete It had sunken black eyes and tentacles that extended radially from its mouth, writhing.

The earth was opening once again.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

After scooping up several more orcs, the monster sank back underground.

One of those tentacles grabbed the Orkval. atomic But the orc remained calm. acoustic He wiped the blood from his face and shouted forcefully at Yuri.

The ground vibrated with a deafening rumble. harbor That was the real enemy.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Damn it…”

In any case, his job was done. portal The remaining orcs would be wiped out by the allied army.

Yuri spat on the ground. zenith He had never heard of orcs being able to control a creature like that—not even in his previous life.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Ah…”

An overwhelming sense of emptiness washed over him. athlete He no longer had the strength to even sit up. sphere He simply collapsed.

Yuri let himself fall to the ground. riddle As he relaxed, the mana flowing through his channels compressed suddenly into his core.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

He could vaguely hear the sounds of Graham and the Captain still fighting. beacon If an orc crept up and struck him with an axe, he wouldn’t be able to do anything.

Yuri closed his eyes.

At times like this, the best option was to play dead. arcade There was no other choice. abstract He couldn’t do anything else anyway.

Ragnar frowned.

“What did you say?”

***

His aide was crouched next to Yuri, who was lying on the ground.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“This is the first time I’ve seen someone sleep in the middle of a war.”

“He seems to be sleeping…”

“Looks like he completely drained his mana. attic Still, it takes guts to fall asleep like that.”

After tapping him a few more times, he replied,

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“He’s insane.”

Then he rallied the knights and charged off somewhere, suddenly leapt into the sky, drove his sword into the ground, and made everything explode. acid Ragnar thought he had gone mad.

Ragnar had been watching his fight. attic At first, Yuri was surrounded after killing a shaman and survived thanks to a stranger.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

He thought the madness would end there. arrow But the lunatic stumbled to his feet and went back to fight the same Orkval again.

That’s why Ragnar had sent Graham and the Captain of the Third Squad, who successfully protected him.

He’d jumped straight into the enemy’s heart and burned every last drop of mana. august And Moyongchan wasn’t even there this time.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“This idiot really is…”

And then the most absurd thing happened. artist The guy who had completely run out of mana suddenly unleashed a spiritual sword. alert Then a monster appeared and carried off the orc, and finally, he collapsed on the battlefield and fell asleep.

Ragnar let out a disbelieving chuckle.

Nothing this guy did made sense.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Eisen has already contacted the palace. artist If they have information, they’ll send it.”

“What was that creature?”

“Still, thanks to him, casualties were fewer. crystal And we figured out how the orcs operate.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes. alpha Like a swarm of ants.”

“It was surprising, but it doesn’t matter.”

Ragnar looked toward the horizon through his spyglass. alpha Now and then, orc banners fluttered in the distance.

“A monster that digs tunnels… ridiculous. shadow So that’s how the orcs were moving?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

They were advancing slowly but steadily. crystal At this rate, they would soon face Okua.

An Imperial knight bowed before him.

“If we attack their main base, they won’t be able to pull off stunts like that again.”

“Your Highness.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Again?”

The orcs kept harassing the allied army. accent They had barely finished a major battle, and already the enemy was back with no respite.

“How should we proceed?”

“The orc cavalry is circling the area.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Let’s hope it’s the second one.”

“There are two possibilities then. atlas Either the orcs are far more numerous than we thought, or when we reach the base, we’ll find Okua alone.”

It was as if their numbers were endless—far more than estimated.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“You mean…?”

“Wipe them out.”

He ordered their extermination.

“This time we’ll do it ourselves. portal I’ll send the Imperial Squad.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 59: Monster (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s time to get serious.”

“Let’s show them that we had a monster hidden too.”

“Understood.”

Ragnar smiled fiercely.
