He looked up — and there was Okua. auction Both arms, long and muscled, raised high above his head. canvas His fists looked like iron hammers.

Then suddenly, a black shadow loomed over him.

“Got disciplined or what?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 69: Okua (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

He had to dodge, but his body wouldn’t respond. abstract Was he going to die like this? anchor Had he failed even in his second life? artist At least, there was consolation.

Okua didn’t answer. apron Instead, he let his arms fall violently. airport Yuri blinked as the fist hurtled toward him.

Honor.

In his past life he survived in misery, but this time he’d die with honor. harbor Yuri forced a smile.

“Gaaaah!”

“I’m sorry.”

“Now retreat.”

“Yes, sir.”

Laurent rushed over to help Yuri.

“Your opponent is me.”

With Laurent’s help, Yuri was pulled out of the combat area.

“Are you okay, Your Highness?”

“Understood. auction I’ll cover you.”

Once a safe distance away from Okua, Yuri sat down and began regulating his energy. silence A few orcs approached, but halted when they sensed Laurent’s presence.

Suddenly, the ground trembled.

Trusting him, Yuri closed his eyes. anxiety The aura of the Cut of the Soul and the Heart caressed his meridians.

“Just a moment.”

Moyongchan and Okua were locked in full-scale clash. armor Waves of energy from their battle shook Yuri’s body.

Moyongchan, still holding back his fury, locked eyes with Okua. echo He had fallen under the suggestion created by his sorcery.

“In the end, he did it. harbor One-on-one.”

If it had been something completely illogical, it wouldn’t have worked.

That belief had settled deep within him. alien And that’s what made him hesitate to intervene.

But the idea that he needed to maintain a perfect condition for a one-on-one fight wasn’t entirely wrong.

Orcs were already creatures that defied natural laws, but Okua was beyond that. aspect He was an abomination that shouldn’t exist in this world.

Moyongchan was a bit confused.

Okua stroked the shaman’s head.

But he didn’t retreat.

Thud!

Probably a kick. silence Though he wasn’t sure. accent His memory had cut off for a moment.

“Ha ha ha ha…”

Memories of the past flooded him. crystal The Blue Star sect had fallen. arrow His master and elder brothers had died fighting for ideals the Murim world no longer valued.

He closed his eyes.

He reached out to the side. avalanche A sword held by a fallen ally’s corpse flew into his hand.

In this land, there was still something to be done. harbor Moyongchan stood up, raised his sword.

“This is our chance.”

“Laurent.”

If this were a war between humans, perhaps the outcome of the duel between Moyongchan and Okua could lead to negotiating a truce.

“This isn’t a fight between humans, is it?”

“Excuse me?”

Even though those two were fighting, Yuri had no intention of just standing by.

“What?”

“It’s hard to explain. action But it’s true.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 69: Okua (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

He had proven it by devouring the dark shaman.

From the beginning, Okua was feeding on the power of human sacrifices. antenna And since the orcs born from that same magic swore loyalty to him, absorbing their life force was even easier.

He had already suspected it.

“We can’t leave the orcs alive.”

Even if he used dark magic, if the orc was already dead, he couldn’t extract more energy. anchor That’s why Yuri killed them.

Yuri muttered:
