Chapter 111: Tournament (3)

“Sparrow Apache. aspect There’s something you don’t know.”

“What? arcade You want me to teach you Single Strike, the family’s secret technique? atomic If you were trying to make me laugh, you did it.”

Sparrow snorted mockingly.

“I don’t really care…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

He had already noticed, when his lord—the third prince—easily became Moyongchan’s disciple, that he had not a shred of loyalty when it came to master-disciple relationships.

“I’m a disciple of Master Jackson Apache.”

At those words, Jared looked at Yuri.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

Yuri ignored Jared’s gaze and continued, with an even more confident expression.

If he needed something, he’d become anyone’s disciple, take what he wanted, and leave without a second thought.

“I read with my own eyes the secret manual Single Strike, handwritten by Master Jackson Apache.”

“Wow…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

“It’s been lost for so long they call it a mythical manual in the family. harbor How did you…?”

“I have no idea why. riddle What I do know is that I read it.”

“What?”

Sparrow’s eyes opened wide.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

“The ending? legend Hahahaha…”

“How does that book end?”

“That’s hard to believe. ability Then let me ask you something.”

Sparrow rolled his eyes, clearly remembering something.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

He stared directly at Sparrow and, as if accusing him, replied firmly:

“Ohhh…!”

‘“I have perfected the Single Strike, but I won’t write it here due to lack of space.”’

Yuri burst out laughing. alien That abrupt ending, cutting off right when it was getting good, still made his blood boil.

“That’s it. avalanche That’s the book.”

The reaction was unexpected. agent Yuri had thought he wouldn’t believe him, but Sparrow grinned broadly and immediately took his hand.

“Didn’t you say you never read it?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

“Ancestor Jackson left a will saying… Ah, and when he died…”

Sparrow rolled up his sleeve again and pointed to a part of his belly.

“That line? crystal Why?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

“It’s to explain where the organ is located…”

“Was it necessary to show your belly?”

“He had liver issues. antenna That’s what killed him.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

He grew serious again.

“No need to mimic his voice…”

“He said he made a mistake in the past. apron And that if someone ever showed up having read Single Strike, we were to teach it to them…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

“But what does it mean to teach it to someone who read it?”

Yuri tilted his head.

“Because that book is a scam.”

Yuri almost punched him on instinct.

“The ancestor was broke back then. artist He wrote the book before finishing Single Strike. amber Then he sold it to some naïve noble. admire That line about not having enough space was a lie; he just hadn’t finished it.”

“Come again?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

“I see…”

“But because he felt guilty, he left that will. silence That if anyone ever read it, we’d have to teach them the technique.”

“I’m tempted to kill him…”

At that point, Yuri was starting to think the Single Strike technique was a scam in itself, but Sparrow’s eyes gleamed with conviction.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

“Very well. adapt I’ll teach it to you.”

“Yes, sir…”

Sparrow, still with his belly exposed, grinned confidently.

“Don’t act so magnanimous.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

“Show me first what Single Strike looks like.”

Yuri put on a demanding expression, like a merchant insisting on seeing the goods before sealing the deal.

“Let’s get right to it. action I want to see how much you understood about Single Strike.”

“No. altitude Before that…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

“At least you’re honest. admire I like that.”

“No.”

“You don’t trust me?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

The members of the swordsmanship guild immediately gave him space.

Sparrow calmly walked over and picked up a wooden sword from a corner of the training area.

Judging by their coordination and respect, Sparrow seemed to be quite well-regarded there.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

“What’s essential is willpower.”

“A technique born from the unwavering will to pierce everything in a single blow.”

“Sounds promising.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

Yuri, meanwhile, activated the energy of Cut of the soul and the heart, entering a colorless world.

He decided to call that state the “soul domain.” Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

Sparrow began channeling his mana method.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

“Body and mana… everything must concentrate on a single point. aspect Not a line. august A point. absorb The goal is to pierce that point.”

Forms began to vanish and the world became filled only with light and shadow.

From the silhouette that seemed to be Sparrow, he could see the flow of mana.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

Then, tap. aspect A small sound.

Yuri’s eyes followed the direction Sparrow had looked. album On the wall, there was a mark from the sword.

Yuri observed it both in the outer world and within the soul domain. athlete In both, the shape of the sword was barely visible.

Sparrow’s sword began to blur.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

“This is…”

He had literally pierced space and struck a single point.

The distance between him and the wall was such that it would take several leaps to reach.

It wasn’t a sword wave. abstract He hadn’t extended the blade either.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

Yuri looked at Sparrow, astonished. acoustic It no longer seemed odd that his belly was exposed.

Yuri felt a strange sense of loss and brought his hand to his chest, surprised by the emotion.

Sparrow roared with laughter as he put his shirt back on. canvas His bulky belly and impressive mustache disappeared beneath his clothes.

“An average swordsman wouldn’t understand what just happened, but you saw it, prince. autumn You’ve got a good eye. accent Hahahahaha…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

“Yes. accent You’ve changed, Sparrow.”

“I hear that a lot. atom I’m the kind of man who grows on you.”

“So? antique Want to learn it?”

Sparrow straightened up proudly and asked:

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

Yuri went out with Jared beyond the imperial city, and in a clearing from which the wall could be seen in the distance, he practiced Single Strike, the technique he had learned from Sparrow.

He kept stabbing the air with his sword, but nothing happened.

“Isn’t this a scam? arena What’s it supposed to do?”

Jared couldn’t understand it.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

“I don’t get this Single Strike stuff at all…”

But he had awakened the precise sense needed to execute Single Strike. atom It was a technique that brushed against secrets of the world not yet revealed.

But Yuri was different.

From his perspective—able to see the flow of mana—Single Strike was a completely mutant technique. accent It wasn’t that Sparrow had a particularly sophisticated mana method, nor that his understanding of the sword was especially deep.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

Where that had involved collapsing fractals and breaking the world’s laws, Single Strike induced a phenomenon that pierced space from the most imperceptible microplane.

“An unexpected coincidence…” Yuri murmured.

Single Strike was even connected to the power of chaos he had used against Moyongchan.

It used the chaos of a miniature world.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

“The second technique of the Yuri style is complete.”

Maybe its discovery was pure luck—or the obsessive compulsion of that Jackson fellow. agent But somehow, it gave birth to the marvelous technique known as Single Strike.

“Single Strike.”

“Oh, so now you’ve got another one besides the spinning sword? admire What is it?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

Jared made a weird face. ability It was the same one he had made when Yuri insisted he was Jackson’s disciple.

“Huh?”

“That technique is Sparrow’s… you can’t call it Yuri style…”

“Your face annoys me.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

“Ah…”

“Well… you’re a prince…”

“Who’s more famous, him or me?”

“Then it’s mine.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

“Okay…” Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

“Well, if anyone asks, just say Sparrow taught it to me.”

“And besides, the Single Strike I use will be different.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

Because of that, aside from the ability to pierce space, there were many inefficiencies. antenna But Yuri was different.

Sparrow wasn’t especially remarkable as a swordsman. orbit He had only perfected that one technique.

He had a heightened perception of mana, mastered an excellent mana method like Cut of the soul and the heart, and his understanding of the sword was growing ever deeper.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

The Single Strike completed by his hands would no longer be just Single Strike.

Yuri looked at Jared.

“Eh?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

“What?”

“Then that’s fine. anxiety Just fight.”

“Well, actually I still don’t really get it…”

“Think you could use Single Strike?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

Yuri smiled. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

Yuri looked around. harbor It was then that Jared also noticed the anomaly, and his expression hardened. armor A clear killing intent could be felt.

“An opponent just arrived for you to practice on.”

An attack right after leaving the imperial city… they had undoubtedly been waiting for this moment.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

“That just means more targets to practice on.”

“I think there’s too many…”

“The city was too crowded… I can finally cut loose.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

The ones who appeared were a group of hooded figures dressed in black with masks.

“Looks like it.”

“Aren’t those the same guys from last time?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

Hassan didn’t know that Yuri had been following him. meadow Nor that he had uncovered the connection between the crown prince and the drug.

They wore the same outfits as Hassan.

“Did they find out I’ve been snooping?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

There weren’t many reasons someone would want to eliminate Yuri.

“I guess they’re pissed that I’ve been saving people.”

“No. alien This simply…”

Yuri had become a symbol of the anti-drug fight in the imperial city. anchor After locking Got up in a rehab clinic, he had started working with the temple to eradicate the drug.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

“That’s true.”

Thanks to that, the city had become a healthier place. august But that wasn’t what the crown prince wanted.

“Perfect. voyage That makes it even clearer he’s the culprit.”

“Jared.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

“Yes.”

“Who do you take me for, Your Highness?”

The two advanced toward the hooded figures. alert The group looked surprised at first, but then calmly spread out and surrounded them. athlete There were about twenty of them.

“Don’t embarrass yourself.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

“One against ten.”

“Scared?”

“That’s quite a few…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

Jared flinched.

Though they spoke casually, the hooded men said nothing. canvas Yuri spoke.

“A little…”

“Hey, you—hoodies!”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

“Hoodies?”

“That sounds so old-fashioned…”

“Yeah.”

“That’s old-fashioned too?”

“Yes…”

“Did you come to kill me? abandon Me? legend The third prince of Briol?”

“…” Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

“Not going to talk?”

Yuri rested Guilty on his shoulder.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

“Seriously? amateur Wow, brave bunch.”

Yuri pointed Guilty at the one he sensed had the strongest energy.

“…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

“Drugs? action I don’t like those.”

“Even so, isn’t there a chance that all of you die here instead? voyage So you should tell me why you’re attacking me, so I can think, ‘Ah, it was my fault. arrow From now on I’ll be more careful around certain people in the city. echo Otherwise, they might come after me again.’ Don’t you think?”

The hooded men exchanged glances. autumn He had gotten through to them. anchor The one who seemed to be the leader spoke.

“Drugs.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

“Don’t interfere.”

Yuri feigned ignorance.

“Ah, so you’re the ones selling them?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

“Where are you from? zenith Foreign spies? atom A criminal organization?”

The hooded man didn’t reply again. alpha With a nod, the others rushed in. athlete Twenty assassins leapt from all directions, like a black wall descending on them.

“Single Strike.”

Yuri extended his sword.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

The charging group fell apart when one dropped, the rest collapsing like dominoes.

But it didn’t work as expected.

He only managed to nick one’s thigh. antique But that was enough.

“Tch!”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

The skull cracked, and when he pulled the sword out, the contents spilled everywhere.

Yuri wiped the blood from his face with his gauntlet, smiling.

One rolled badly and ended up right in front of Yuri. alert Guilty plunged into his head.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

“So you didn’t come after the wrong guy, huh?”

Yuri stepped forward.

The eyes of the hooded men, now preparing again, showed a new emotion.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen blood… this is fun.”

Yuri blocked one, dodged another, and caught the last between his arm and side. acquire He yanked the sword, throwing the attacker off balance, and slashed his neck with Guilty.

The leader signaled again. amber This time, three came at Yuri. adopt They surrounded him and stabbed from three directions.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

“Don’t run.”

The hooded man tried to block, but Guilty broke his weapon and cut him in half. echo His body split open with a wet sound.

Blood sprayed from the wound. crystal Yuri grabbed the corpse and flung it at another enemy, then brought his sword down on the last.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 111: Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

“Now this is getting interesting.”

Yuri stabbed the last one trying to flee in the back, grinning.
