Chapter 209: Between Love and Friendship (2)

Mana began to swirl around Guilty.

Yuri had no intention of dragging out the fight.

The tentacles swaying from her back suddenly shot upward and plunged into the whirlwind. orbit That unexpected intrusion shattered the vortex’s fractal structure and caused it to collapse.

The spinning blade broke apart.

Yuri had to endure the full force of the explosion.

The moment Yuri took a step forward, Sybilla’s eyes turned black.

“Kugh…!”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 209: Between Love and Friendship (2) by Indra Translations.

Without another thought, Yuri charged toward Sybilla.

He sliced them into dozens of pieces with Guilty and aimed directly for Sybilla. atlas But the severed fragments reorganized into a wedge shape and stabbed him in the back.

The tentacles blocked his path.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 209: Between Love and Friendship (2) by Indra Translations.

Yuri let out a brief laugh and said,

Though the sudden stabbing pain caught him off guard, Yuri didn’t stop and completed the slash with Guilty. amber However, his strength had waned, and Sybilla blocked the attack with her sword.

She stared at him with pitch-black eyes, even the whites consumed by darkness, and glared fiercely.

“Let’s stick with the wings. airport I really don’t like that other stuff.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 209: Between Love and Friendship (2) by Indra Translations.

Taking advantage of Yuri’s recoil, she swung. athlete Yuri ducked and spun low with a sweeping kick.

“I told you to stop.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 209: Between Love and Friendship (2) by Indra Translations.

Sybilla couldn’t react in time, but one of the tentacles from her back rose and blocked Yuri’s strike. ability It coiled around Guilty like a snake and tightened. riddle Yuri’s hand began to tremble.

Yuri thrust Guilty down without hesitation.

Sybilla stumbled and fell.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 209: Between Love and Friendship (2) by Indra Translations.

But it was shallow. sphere It drew blood, yes, but only a scratch.

Yuri fell backward, barely holding on to Guilty. riddle Sybilla sprang up and thrust her sword at him.

At that moment, Sybilla kicked him in the stomach.

Yuri regained his footing and slashed through the air. august The Single Strike style aimed for Sybilla’s neck.

Yuri burst forward.

The energy it emitted was now as dark as the black magic within Sybilla.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 209: Between Love and Friendship (2) by Indra Translations.

What they once were, what they once felt—none of it had any place on the blade of his sword.

To kill her.

That thought alone guided him.

He was ready to sacrifice flesh to take her down.

But the longer the fight dragged on, the more it spread like roots in every direction. legend The tentacles that had once been thin were now much thicker.

Yuri gripped Guilty tightly and drew closer. arcade Through his eyes, he could see the core of the black magic inside her. arctic It hadn’t consumed her entirely yet.

Overwhelmed by Yuri’s aura, Sybilla began to react more passively.

That’s how black magic worked. portal The more time passed, the stronger it grew.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 209: Between Love and Friendship (2) by Indra Translations.

Yuri watched the tentacles closing in.

It was no longer just one.

“Pfff…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 209: Between Love and Friendship (2) by Indra Translations.

But the tentacles grew even longer after being severed.

Attacking was pointless. beacon He had to destroy the core.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 209: Between Love and Friendship (2) by Indra Translations.

In that instant, the blink stretched.

Yuri’s gaze pierced through the undulating tentacles and locked onto Sybilla.

He closed his eyes—and opened them again.

A long darkness enveloped him.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 209: Between Love and Friendship (2) by Indra Translations.

It was the process of a world being assembled.

“…”

It didn’t take long.

Yuri walked through the world crafted by his inner demon.

The inner demon was done.

His eyelids rose.

In front of him, Sybilla and her three tentacles advanced.

Yuri, feeling the familiar weight of Guilty in his hand, stepped forward.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 209: Between Love and Friendship (2) by Indra Translations.

Passing through the flying scraps of flesh, Yuri reached Sybilla’s face in an instant.

The tentacles shattered into dozens of pieces.

Yuri swung Guilty without hesitation.

The Cut of the soul and the heart opened its jaws to devour the enemy.

He tracked it until he located the core of black magic inside Sybilla. avalanche Yuri slightly withdrew Guilty, then launched a slash aimed straight at it.

That tenacious, viscous, shadowy creature that seemed unable to die had to be destroyed. matrix And the art of the Cut of the soul and the heart, a legacy of his ancestor, possessed the power to do so.

He intended to tear the core of the black magic apart along with Sybilla’s body.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 209: Between Love and Friendship (2) by Indra Translations.

But then Sybilla’s already half-torn body came to a stop.

“With this… it’s not enough.”

Yuri looked up. crystal Sybilla was staring at him, her bloodshot eyes brimming with tears.

Yuri looked down.

“Do it properly this time.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 209: Between Love and Friendship (2) by Indra Translations.

“That’s what you want?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 209: Between Love and Friendship (2) by Indra Translations.

Each time Yuri executed the Cut of the soul and the heart, the black magic core shrank away in retreat.

The sword that had pierced her stomach slowly pushed upward, now reaching her chest and slicing through her ribs.

The core of the black magic had fused completely with Sybilla’s heart. alert The more she used that magic, the more deeply it entangled itself. crystal Her insides were already consumed.

The gash began to widen.

At the same time, the black magic exploded.
