Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2)

The world tilted from the fissure, wavered, and then slid downward.

The arrangement of mana, the structure of the magic, the blazing mana flames, and the illusions that deceived the eyes—all were split cleanly in two as if they were a single mass.

A single ray of light cut through everything Sidherst had created.

Sidherst’s eyes went wide.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

He couldn’t comprehend what he had just witnessed. aluminum The magic had been severed from its root—from its very origin.

Was something like that even possible?

“Ah…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

As he watched in shock, seeing his world shatter, his domain slowly dissipated.

“This is…”

Now he was standing in darkness.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

“Who are you…?”

“How about it, Sidherst? amber Is the fear starting to work now?”

In front of him, the prince of Briol held his sword at a diagonal.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

“Oh, good. alpha At least you’re starting to sound a little more decent.”

Instead, his fingers found only the cloth of his robes.

Just as he had announced, Yuri had cut his beard.

Sidherst instinctively reached toward where Yuri’s gaze was fixed. crystal His proud, full white beard was no longer there.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

“T-this…”

“My beloved beard!”

Sidherst spread both arms.

A violet magic circle glowed beneath his feet and began replicating upward, forming dozens of magic circles spinning around him in a cylindrical formation.

He summoned mana again.

“I will not forgive you!”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

“By the heavens…”

The energy of the Cut of the soul and the heart technique brutally destroyed Sidherst’s mana.

But Yuri simply swung his sword calmly. arctic That was enough.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

Sidherst felt an instinctive fear toward Yuri.

Could this even be called swordsmanship?

“Don’t tell me you…”

Though it resembled a Dispel, its principle was completely different. alert Dispel interfered with the arrangement of mana and dispersed it, but Yuri’s sword simply severed the mana itself.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

His unique sorcery was the Complete Separation Technique—a spell that allowed him to create his own dimension and isolate it from the outside world.

He swallowed hard.

As Master of the Tower, Sidherst had reached unparalleled heights.

He was a great mage who ruled the Magic Tower, and also a Grand Sorcerer like Inariel and Hernando.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

That was why he had always felt secure, no matter the situation.

Even with the threat of black magic, he had never felt at risk.

When Sidherst willed it, no one could find him.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

Even his complete separation technique would not emerge unscathed against that energy.

Sidherst instinctively stepped back. autumn He could feel it clearly—Yuri Briol’s sword, the prince of Briol, could cut through everything.

But this sword was different.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

“Don’t tell me… can you cut black magic?”

“Already afraid?”

“Yuri Briol.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

His black hair melted into the darkness around him, but his eyes—just as black—shone with a fierce light.

Yuri replied.

Yuri, Guilty resting on his shoulder, smiled at Sidherst.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

“Ah…”

Sidherst understood.

“Yes. adopt I cut it.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

The title of Master of the Tower, his unique sorcery, the height of his magic—none of it meant anything.

He was nothing more than a bubble appearing and vanishing briefly in the flow of the world.

At last, he understood.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

But it was the other way around.

He had believed humanity had been dealt a punishment.

It wasn’t a punishment—it was an opportunity.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

“Cut of the soul and the heart.”

“That edge that can even cut black magic… what is it called?”

Shivering, Sidherst spoke.

Now he understood why Hernando and Maryrose, those two geniuses, followed this young man.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

If a sword that cuts the body can also cut those… isn’t that the same as cutting a god?

“The sword that cuts the soul and the heart…”

The heart—and the soul.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

When a storm comes, humans can only hide and tremble until it passes.

Even now, he could feel them—beyond this dimension, unknown entities continued to watch this world. armor They were like natural disasters.

Sidherst closed his eyes.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

“I see.”

Sidherst spoke.

But now there was someone capable of facing them.

“I don’t care.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

“I’ll kill him.”

“I just have to cut them down.”

“And your brother?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

Sidherst let out a laugh.

“And if a god tries to stop you?”

“If I meet a god, I’ll kill the god.”

Yuri Briol, smiling without a shred of doubt, answered.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

“And why’s this guy suddenly laughing like an idiot?”

Though the statement was bold, Sidherst didn’t flinch and laughed for a good while.

Yuri frowned, puzzled.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

Sidherst lowered his staff and stepped toward Yuri.

“Yuri Briol. action It’s likely even you don’t yet understand the true meaning of your sword…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

Perhaps it was a hasty decision.

With each step, his shoulders felt lighter. aluminum The burden he had carried for so many years was gradually dissolving.

“Having come across that sword, I have no other choice. atlas From now on, I will fully cooperate.”

But the sword the prince of Briol wielded was worth it. album Even if it failed, he would not regret this moment.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

“Speak however you like.”

“And now you say that? legend You’re making me feel bad for speaking informally to you—uh, I mean, to you, sir.”

“No… I can’t. arena You’re already advanced in years.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

“Bwahahaha…”

“You’re shameless.”

“Now that we’re on the same side, I must treat you with respect.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

“Never forget that resolve. anxiety Only a stronger soul can cut down another shrouded in darkness.”

“Let me warn you now. adjust You will face an enemy far greater than you imagine.”

Sidherst said.

“I’m ready.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

“And this place?”

The darkness vanished, and the two now stood inside an old wooden cabin.

Suddenly, the space around them shifted.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

For the home of a great mage, it was quite a humble place. anchor There were hardly any objects, and through the window, a thick forest could be seen.

“My home.”

Yuri looked around.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

“Just wait a moment.”

“And this? shadow If you’re going to cooperate now, let’s just go back already.”

Sidherst stood in front of the wall mirror.

“Do you know why I let my hair and beard grow so long?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

“No. echo It’s exactly the opposite. harbor Do you have any idea how hard it is to maintain long hair and a long beard? arch In truth, I wanted to cut them every single day.”

“Then why did you grow them out?”

“So I wouldn’t forget.” Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

“Because you were too lazy to cut them?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

Then he removed his robe and stripped his upper body bare.

“So I wouldn’t forget that I’m already an old man. apple So I wouldn’t get stupid ideas and would simply let time flow, as an old man should.”

Sidherst picked up a dagger from the table.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

The body revealed could hardly be believed to belong to an old man. alien He wasn’t bulky, but his firm frame was marked with defined muscles.

Yuri let out a sound of surprise.

Sidherst smiled at himself in the mirror.

“Oh…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

His long white hair fell to the floor. canvas He cut his hair down to a soldier’s crop, and shaved his beard clean, leaving only a faint gray shadow on his face.

“But there’s no need for that anymore.”

A single lock, left uncut, fell across his forehead.

With those words, he moved the dagger.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

At first, he had only seen him as a wrinkled old man with white hair.

Yuri called out in a trembling voice.

“Si… Sidherst… you…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

“You look like a revolutionary fighting against the Empire. advance Before, you looked like a greedy mage serving the Empire for riches.”

“Hahahaha…” This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

But now, with the hair and beard gone, before him stood a mature man with such an intense, masculine air he looked like he had stepped out of an Imperial stage play.

“How is it? anxiety Do I look different now?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

“Let’s go back.”

Sidherst let out a laugh and waved his staff.

In an instant, they were back atop the cliff. august Hernando and Maryrose, who had been sitting silently, stared at them, mouths agape.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

Sidherst and Yuri, arm in arm, silently took in the land stretching before their eyes.

Sidherst ignored their probing stares and turned toward the vast lands beyond the cliff, throwing an arm around Yuri’s shoulder.

For his age, he was tall enough to wrap Yuri’s shoulders with ease.

From behind, Hernando and Maryrose murmured.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

“Did he lose the fight?”

“W-where did that hair and beard go?”

“Obviously. echo How’s a mage going to beat one of the Ten Great Swordsmen?”

“Bet the prince cut them off, and he had no choice but to tidy up.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

“It’s one of the prince’s skills. anchor He hits you, then acts all warm, and turns you into an ally. arch That’s how everyone ends up as his loyal subordinate.”

“Yeah, right… And now, what’s this, hugging like they’ve been best friends for life?”

“Hernando, is that how you ended up under his command too?”

“I thought Lord Sidherst would do something.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

After sharing that moment, Yuri and Sidherst returned to the table.

“Uh-huh…”

“Of course not! avalanche I saw the prince’s potential from when he was young and have been with him since then.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

“Lord Sidherst. amateur I’ll be counting on you from now on.”

The ones who had been talking about punishments and beard-cutting were now looking at each other warmly.

Hernando and Maryrose were so perplexed they didn’t know what to say.

“The honor is mine for having met you.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

Yuri continued.

“Of course. autumn But before that, there’s something you must know.”

“Could you condemn the Empire and black magic?”

Sidherst, out of habit, touched the place where his beard used to be, then lowered his hand.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

“I have also been observing black magic. absorb That Cedric as well.”

“The Empire has probably already completed the ritual they’ve been aiming for.”

Yuri’s expression hardened.

“Excuse me?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

Sidherst swallowed and said.

“You mean…?”

“He has already summoned an entity from another world. ability Terrifying beings that feed on the human soul and human suffering. palette To be clear…”

“He wielded black magic with great skill. arch That power, which produces miracles using human life and soul as fuel, is not limited to our world alone. orbit There are entities that worship it.”

Cory took Laurent to a village in the Union of Small Kingdoms and admitted him there.

To make matters worse, upon seeing Cory and Laurent’s faces, the priest demanded an additional hefty sum.

Cory had no choice but to pay all of it. sphere It was nearly all the money they had saved together.

It was a small temple, so there was hardly any space for patients to rest.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

“He’s bleeding…”

Each time he passed, the priest would scold him.

“Hey, you. alpha Are you going to keep standing there?”

Laurent lay in the room, covered in bandages from head to toe, while Cory stayed at his side, tending to him without rest.

“I beg you, sir… haha…”

“If you’re going to stand around, you should also pay for lodging.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

Even so, they had nowhere else to go.

The priest muttered those despicable words as he turned away.

“Bah, pair of filthy lepers…”

Until now, every priest Cory had met at least pretended to follow divine will, but this one was nothing more than a greedy merchant disguised as a man of faith.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

Meanwhile, the priest’s loud voice could be heard speaking to a visiting villager.

“Haa…”

Cory looked at the unconscious Laurent.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

“Admit him?? artist Impossible. arch Two horrible pests came in here. arch What do they look like? harbor Better not see them—they’re hideous. afford I, as a priest, had to make a charitable act to take them in. audit Tsk tsk…”

That priest who claimed to practice divine compassion despised them solely for their appearance.

Cory lifted his eyes toward the symbol of the deity hanging on the wall. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

The priest’s voice, now barely audible, went on.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

“They’re both monsters. silence Monsters…”

“Not one, but two monsters! autumn What bad luck, don’t you think?”

The priest kept talking.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

No trace of his former attractiveness remained. artist In fact, he looked even more deformed than Cory himself.

“Sir Laurent.”

Cory lowered his gaze to Laurent’s face.

Since he had removed his hood for treatment, his deformity was fully exposed.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

Cory remembered what Laurent had once been.

Only the sound of his rough breathing came, escaping from his broken, flattened nostrils.

He called him, but there was no answer.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

Now, he was an even greater monster than Cory, despised by all.

A brilliant man.

Cory murmured in a low voice.

Cory placed a hand on his cheek. adapt Then he curved his lips into a smile.

Trying to stifle the laughter welling up, his rough breathing echoed for a long while in the room.
