“Again, again!”

He moved as light as a feather, slipped out of the encirclement, and struck the back of one of the men standing at the edge of the stage. artist Then he grabbed the opponent—who doubled over in pain—by the neck and tossed him off the stage, eliminating him.

“Please, stop already…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 110: Tournament (2) by Indra Translations.

For the Empire’s citizens, it was an event worth celebrating fervently.

“Still, you can’t do this.”
